InDesign

Bonjour,Je voulais savoir comment faire un agenda de plus de 192 pages sur indesign ? J'ai entendu parler de "calendrier wizard". Comment fait on concrètement ?Merci beaucoup.

Bjr, Depuis la mise a jour d'Indesign, je n'arrive plus à importer un PDF avec les traits de coupe et debord, dans un bloc image. Par défaut, il importe le fichier recadré (aux traits de coupe). Mon fichier est en mode impression. Je ne connais pas le logiciel qui a généré les PDF. Je vous joins un exemple.Je suis sous MAC Sequoiai 15.4.1 et Indesign 2025.Merci bcp pour votre aide, j'ai un catalogue à monter pour l'imprimeur ...

Is there a way to set FN settings across multiple files or all the files in a book? There certain things that synching styles will not cover.ThanksSF

Sometimes I open the dialog box, but then realize it was a mistake, so I cancel it.At this point, I get an empty value, which causes an exception.How can I cancel the dialog box and make it seem like nothing happened? function makeDialog() { var mm = 2.835; var theDialog = app.dialogs.add({ name: "CN and CSP settings", canCancel: true, minHeight: 600, minWidth: 400, }); with (theDialog.dialogColumns.add()) { staticTexts.add({ staticLabel: "CN:" }); staticTexts.add({ staticLabel: "SP:" }); } with (theDialog.dialogColumns.add()) { getCn = integerEditboxes.add({ editValue: 4 }); app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit = MeasurementUnits.MILLIMETERS; getCsp = measurementEditboxes.add({ editValue: (6 * mm), editUnits: MeasurementUnits.millimeters }); } if (theDialog.show() == true) { getCn = getCn.editContents; getCsp = getCsp.editValue / mm; //run a function that uses the global results

There are two situations here.alert does not automatically center?alert(“This is the first line\nAfter a line break, it cannot be centered and can only be spaced with spaces?”) showDialog() cannot wrap lines? Only one line can be displayed.showDialog(“Note: Please select an object. How to break lines here”, 1000);//auto close dialog showDialog(“Note: Please select an object. How to break lines here”, 1000); function showDialog(message, duration) { var win = new Window(“palette”, t, undefined, { closeButton: false }); win.add(“statictext”, undefined, message); // Change font size It doesn't seem to work. win.graphics.font = ScriptUI.newFont(“Heiti”, ScriptUI.FontStyle.BOLD, 20); win.layout.layout(true); // Force layout before showing win.show(); win.update(); // Force redraw before sleep $.sleep(duration); // Wait for the specified duration win.close(); // Then close the window } 

Is there a way to save indesign as a word doc?   <Title renamed by MOD>  

Hi everyone,I'm probably forgetting something here, but I have game cards with a Parent set up with text frames (linked) and 5 Parents based on that parent without the text boxes.I've added flowing text to the deck. When I adjust the position of the text frames on the Parent, the others moved. However, after some editing, I adjusted a text frame on the Parent, and the frame stayed in place on the other document pages. The frames seemed to adjust properly on the other 5 Parent pages.I thought removing local overrides might help, but it doesn't update anything.Any suggestions / guidance? thanks! 

OS: MACINDESIGN VERSION : InDesign CC 2022PDF setting : PDF/x-1a:2001Flatten Transparency:  YesColor profile and InDesign version are same,. Color seeting: below attached color setting While creating a PDF from InDesign CC2022 verison there is visual difference. Please advice    

If I look at the "Cell Options" - I have Text, Graphic, Strokes-and-Fills, Rows-and-Columns, and Diagonal-Lines.If I look at the options for "Cell Styles" - I have Text, Graphic, Strokes-and-Fills, and Diagonal-Lines.Why can't I put the specifications under Rows-and-Columns into a Cell Style? The furthest down I can get with Keyboard Shortcuts is Rows-and-Columns. I cannot apply a keyboard shortcut to a specific element inside that menu. Is there any way to EASILY apply "start row on next odd page" to a whole bunch of different cells/rows? Can I add this to a Cell Style somehow, that I am missing?

Hi, we are trying to set up a file with some of the text wrapped around side by side, which means there will be several text boxes on every page, we need the footnotes to be at the bottom of each page as shown in the first image and not at the bottom of the text box it is referenced in (second image). Any suggestions how to do it? With a script? Detach the notes? how? Thank you!      

Hi there, is there any way to get the Iptc4xmpCore:AltTextAccessibility tag from a placed file using UXP script or ExtendScript?The documentation under https://developer.adobe.com/xmp/docs/XMPNamespaces/Iptc4xmpCore/ does not even mention the tag.Additionally I cannot declare any xmp objects because require("uxp").xmp is always undefined. Do I have to install anything? I tried UXP V. 7.4.2 (ID 2024 19.5.4) and UXP V. 8.1.6 (ID 2025 20.5)Every hint is appreciated 🙂

Not a huge deal and its fixed by relinking. But, I have never had problems with images and now its occuring on two different jobs and two different computers (I think, lol). Images are jpeg. Keeps recurring even though I am relinking each time it happens which is pretty much every day. Image size is approximately same size of box, so there is very little sizing. Using Command-D to insert image. Wondering if maybe has something to do with me transferring the files between the two computers on a flash drive. I transfer the entire job folder so thinking it shouldn't be a problem with location names. One computer is iMac circa 2017 (Ventura OS) and the other a late model Mini with Sequoia so maybe thats the source of the issue. 

I am trying to copy graphics from Illustrator to Indesign but the bounding box gets very large for no reason at all. I'm just  clicking ctrl c and ctrl v I'm attaching pictures for example     <Title renamed by MOD>  

I have set the scale ahead of time to convert the units to mm:app.documents.item(0).viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.MILLIMETERS; app.documents.item(0).viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.MILLIMETERS;I get a value 100 from the file name(100):myWidth = Number(getFileName[1]);Then assign the size in the object style:w.transformAttributeOptions.transformAttrWidth = myWidth;Sometimes it's correct, it's 100mm.But sometimes the result j is 35.278 mm.Then I know it treats it as 100 points.How can I make sure that "w.transformAttributeOptions.transformAttrWidth" always gets 100mm?

I mean: text height.I always "Trial and error"ing with the font size (on PT units) , measure it with measure tool, converting it's height to CM. it's a time consuming methood.is there any more user friendly way to do it? this question goes to illustrator too.

I have begun having a very serious issue with indesign 2025 crashing repeatedly each hour. I have attached the last crash error report to the bottom of this message. This issue started about 5 days ago, prior to that I never experienced any crashing. It happens regardless of the file that I am working on. I have attempted to troubleshoot this issue in the following way:1. I updated to the latest version of Indesign 2025 ver. 20.5. = crashing continues.2. I tried installing various different earlier versions of indesign (e.g., 20.3.2, 20.2.1, etc.) = crashing continues.3. I tried uninstalling indesign and cleaning out all preference files, and then reinstalling = crashing continues.4. I tried saving the 6 files I am working on as idml and then opening them again and resaving and indd = crashing continues.5. I checked to see that I don't have too many adobe fonts connected (i only have 5 font families connected). Thank you for any help you can provide. Indesign is literally crashing

Is it called annotation settings (Or caption settings)?I want to set the displacement data to 0.

All of my InDesign document content dissapears unless I switch to CPU Preview (existing GPU Preview). This occurred after my Mac mini (M2 Pro) was in a state of sleep (this could have been coincidence).  When I say all, I mean my menus and controls are all visisible but content is completely blank - no page, no margins, no rule lines, etc.     

When my document has more than two column layouts (for example, some pages have two columns and others have one column).I find that my cp[1]-cp[0] have different values.I only want to obtain the cp of the page where the current frame is located.var sel = app.documents[0].selection[0]; var pp = sel.parentPage; var cp = pp.marginPreferences.columnsPositions; alert(cp[1] - cp[0]);

Bonjour,Je mets des hyperliens sur certains éléments texte ou glyphe, puis je transforme mon document en pdf et je l'export.Parfois le texte de remplacement s'affiche, parfois non.Dans certains cas en vectorisant le texte cela marche et d'autres fois non.Je n'arrive pas à trouver pourquoi.Pareil pour certains groupes ça marche d'autre non... Si quelqu'un d'entre-vous avait une idée se serait super merci.Belle journée

I am trying to confirm my update of the plugin In5. I get the message "Data failure" (see attachment) in Indesign. Whats happening? Does anyone have an idea of how to solve this problem?

Hi AiI have a problem writing text in Hebrew. The first letter is always in English.Very strange. The problem is only in InDesign.How do I solve this?I reset the settings.

Hello,I am currently exploring ways to programmatically edit existing InDesign (.indd) files — for example, updating tables and text — and then generate a new .indd file.To achieve this, I tried using the Adobe InDesign SDK and the InDesign API (Firefly Services). However, when I attempted to create a Project, I received the following error message: Incompatible API This API cannot be used in your organization. If you think this is an error, please contact customer support.I would like to understand:Why this error occursWhether there are any required settings, approvals, or procedures to enable accessWhat the recommended approach or supported APIs/SDKs are for programmatically editing .indd filesIf there are alternative methods, or if any formal application process is needed to move forward, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.Has anyone faced a similar situation or found a solution? Any insights would be very helpful.Thank you in advance!

Hi All, Turning to you after spending a good deal of time with Claude and ChatGPT.  I have an InDesign script that processes txt data to create labels using different templates. For my "stone_acres" case, I need to dynamically resize the ingredients text frame width based on which background template is used:When currData["template"] == "STNAC_OG": ingredients text frame should be 2.6268 inches wide (189 points)When currData["template"] == "STNAC_CV": ingredients text frame should be 3.5403 inches wide (254 points)The text frame contains ingredient information and needs to wrap around logos placed from a "Logos" layer. The script processes the template AFTER text replacement has occurred, so the original placeholder <ingredient_concat> has been replaced with actual ingredient text starting with "Ingredients:".Issues: They are not sizing correctly- text widths appear too large and run off the page.Current Code:Text replacement happens early in the script:javascriptfor (var pr
