InDesign

I only know the object style name. How can I get and modify the size options?Something simpler.My image object style name is mypic, and I want to modify its width.mypic.transformAttributeOptions.transformAttrWidth = 60;I want to reassign it to 80,Something like this:if(transformAttributeOptions.transformAttrWidth !=80){ transformAttributeOptions.transformAttrWidth =80; abc(); } else{ aaa(); } 

You need to set different object styles:You need to decide whether to enlarge or reduce the size and choose the appropriate option.For example, I want to reduce all images to 60 mm.This is too tedious. Is there a simpler way? This seems like a foolish plan: if (imw <= 60) { w.frameFittingOptions.fittingOnEmptyFrame = FitOptions.FILL_PROPORTIONALLY; } if (imw > 60) { w.frameFittingOptions.fittingOnEmptyFrame = FitOptions.PROPORTIONALLY; } . . . . . . sel.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT); 

If no objects are selected, all text Frames in current document will be processed.I have two targets:    1. Text paragraphs outside the table.    2. Cells inside the table.How can I get them? Like this:obj.texts[0].appliedParagraphStyle)=parStn; obj.texts[0].tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().texts[0].appliedParagraphStyle = bodyParStn;This is my code above.It seems that it can only go up to this point: alert(“here”);There is no response below that. var myDocument = app.documents.item(0); var myStory = myDocument.stories; for (var s = 0; s < myStory.length; s++) { alert("here"); var what = "^."; var res = getGrepSearch(what, app.activeDocument); for (var f = 0; f <res.length; f++) { var obj = app.selection[f]; ... } } 

Hallo zusammen,ich bearbeite einen ca. 300 Seiten langen Katalog in welchem im unteren Bereich Querverweise in Form von Seitenzahlen eingebaut sind. Einfach nach dem Prinzip "Zubehör hierzu finden Sie ab Seite XY".Das setzen der Marker und das Verlinken hat bis dato super geklappt. Nun habe ich von einem auf den anderen Tag massive Probleme mit der Querverweis-Maske. Es dauert satte 30 Minuten bis sich die Maske öffnet. Man bekommt das Gefühl das InDesign jedes Mal das komplette Dokument studiert bevor es losgehen kann.Ich habe bereits alles Probiert. Ich habe den Einsatz auf 3 verschiedenen Rechnern getestet, sogar Mac/Win. Ebenso wurde InDesign komplett neu installiert und die Einstellungen komplett gelöscht. Leider alles ohne Abhilfe.Andere Tipps das Dokument als IDML zu sichern und damit weiter zu arbeiten hat leider auch nichts gebracht.Leider komme ich an diesem Punkt nicht weiter. Das Arbeiten ist so leider absolut nicht mehr möglich da jeder Verweis mind. 30 Min. dauern würde.A

Since I updated to 2020, I can't seem to use shift+command to scale my images or text proportionally - it just changes the size of the object's box - not the content within the box. When I click on the content itself, I can scale it but it is disproportionate. This is one of my go-to shortcuts! Help!

Hi all, Lately I have been experimenting with converting PDFs to InDesign layouts. Whether I export the text from Acrobat Pro to Word to InDesign... or whether I open the PDF into InDesign so that the new feature can convert it back into a .INDD document, ... I see this problem a lot: ligatures like fl and fi become single glyph characters in InDesign and the spell-checker has no idea what the word is. Try to right-click and it guesses very badly. That makes for a lot of manual spell-check fixing for every word with fl and fi all across many pages. Anyone seen this? Is there a cure for it?

Hi. Please, can we have InDesign files in MacOS Finder (Sequoia 15.0.1) show the document preview.   I have relied on 3rd party developers over the last 10+ years (ArtView and inddPreview.app) to provide this essential feature. Unfortunately Apple has dropped support for legacy plugins (so called Quick Look generators) so inddPreview.app has stopped working.   I have over 15,000 InDesign files, and to now do what is usually a quick visual finder search is impossible with the Finder only showing the generic InDesign Document Icon.   .psd files have finder document previews.ai files have finder document previews Why not InDesign?   The 6 year old Feature Request is marked as Solved when it clearly isn't.https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/33291841-indesign-preview-for-finder   Attached image: Left, how the finder looks now, on the Right, how it needs to look! Kind regards     <Title

Hi Adobe Community! I'm having an issue with publishing a document online. I've posted the document online for years and never have had issues. The document has passed hands between myself and another designer. I was having issues with InDesign due to trying to sync an Adobe Font and when I reopened it said the file might be damaged. Sharing this in case it could provide any explanation.It's a dining map where I have anchored dots attached to text, so that when items are added or removed to the list, the dots move with it. Now when I publish online, the anchored objects move when published. See attached for what it should like versus what the publish link looks like (below). There is one dot that is not anchored to demonstrate how it stays in place versus the anchored ones. I am not sure how to fix this, so any guidance will be much appreciated. https://indd.adobe.com/view/23d7d7a6-80b7-45a6-8f6f-fd8e9f4f2a21 

After adding 70 chapters to my book collection, I realized I have been doing a lot of things wrong. So I am starting over from scratch. But I don't to waist time 1again so I really want to get it right this time.1. How can I make sure that all files added to the book follow the same footnotes settings regarding space from text, divider etc 2. Also I want to force that at the beginning of each chapter the numbering of the footnotes  restarts to 1. Thanks SF 

In Design 2022, I need to import 123 .jpgs Each .jpg is one full page for  fixed layout epub. So the .indd will be 123 pages. I know there is a way to place, tried holding shift or space bar. I have done this while importing a docx in the ost now I need to do the same with jpgs anyone??  

I am updating an indesign file. I can not get rid of the page number which must be part of style.  It appears on top of the green section.  How can I change numbering from  automatic to manual? Many thanks.  

Anyone have a script that deletes all objects and text outside the page (or margins)?

Is there a user to user script exchange community?I thought I found one 15 years back...I'd like to place a number of pdf pages to the frames on a parent page.Mutipage importer doesn't allow multiple places per page. 

Hi. Using ID 20.5 under Windows 11.Three days ago, ID was updated automatically to 20.5. Today I opened a set of book files created under the immediate previous version (20.41, I believe, but it might have been a version earlier; I usually update right away). In one of the files, previously, I had changed a head that was cross-referenced earlier in the same file. That is, on p15 the cross-reference refers to a head on p22, but the head on p22 had been changed (and the file saved) without updating the Xref prior to saving. Today, under 20.5, I open the file and notice that the reference to the head on p22 is red. Why, I must have neglected to update it! I will fix that, I think.I go to the reference citation on p15 and select it in the Cross-Reference panel.1st try) I double-click the reference to update it. ID tries to open the Xref panel and crashes. I reopen the app and the book. I have seen this story before with cross-references the last couple of times Adobe has updated

Help, a most bizarre occurrence recently.  I am doing the design, layout, and typesetting of an 88-page magazine using InDesign (2025) 20.4.1 with a M4 Mac mini and MacOS Sequoia 15.3.2 (24D81). The InDesign file is located in my hard drive Dropbox folder synced to my Dropbox on the Dropbox website. After finishing a second round of the entire magazine (after making corrections) and sending proofs to staff, etc, suddenly 3 consecutive letters are missing throughout the entire document when they were not previously. They are missing in the InDesign file and the PDF I made afterward. The original sin was in InDesign. The missing letters are all  “med” in this consecutive order. For example, words like “medical,” “Medicare,” “Medicaid,” “deemed,” “confirmed,” “intermediary,” etc suddenly are missing and leaving in the text “icaid” “care” “dee” “confir” “interiary” etc. All the 3 letters that were missing were the letters “med” in this consecutive order.

The InDesign file is located in my hard drive Dropbox folder synced to my Dropbox on the Dropbox website. After reflowing the same text into the same text box for the third time, suddenly a paragraph in the text has a blank line space in the mdidle of a paragraph, like this: "After reflowing the same text into the same text box for the third time,[empty line space here]suddenly a paragraph in the text has a blank line space in the mdidle of a paragraph, like this." After much trial and error, the only way I figured out how to fix this was to insert new parent page into the document and flow the same text into a new text frame in the new document page based on the new parent page in the document. Then I deleted the text frame with the bad paragraph loine spacing. Does why might have this happended?Is there a better wa

Hi, I'm formatting a huge document - I have paragraph styles set up (no italics), but have a ton of book names that need italics. I created a character style for them and am going through manually updating them. How can i use find and replace to do this easier? This document is 150 pages. 

I have a Word document that is approximately 88 pages long and contains around 6,000 words. Manually indexing these words would be a daunting task for me. I am not an expert in scripting or coding, so I would prefer not to rely on a third party. Is there a way for me to list these words in InDesign by simply copying them from Word and pasting them somewhere? I would like InDesign to search through these words and create a list. I would appreciate any help!

I have seen scripts that can add line numbers, but they seem to change easily.When text is added or deleted, it can sometimes be difficult to find a specific location.I usually make changes from the back, so that the page numbers and layout don't change, making it easy to find.But sometimes, when clients are standing right next to you, they like to Revise the draft from the front to the back.In this case, you want to be able to quickly find a specific paragraph.If the low-quality draft and ID file both have paragraph numbers, wouldn't it be quick? Like this, but using positioning objects is too complicated.Is there another way?   

How do I silence the InDesign notifications? I don't want to mute my computer. When do a find and replace function and use the keyboard's ALT + A to replace all instances, I get a bong noise. I'd like to stop the noise. Thanks.

In what language does one write scripts for ID? I ask because my son is a whiz and probably could write a script setting the default view size to 125%. ID seems to have it set at 90%, which is fine if you're young with good eyesight, but for us old codgers it's a challenge. Thanks.

Can set a background color for a cell that is visible in the layout but not in the printout?I want to mark span-rows

There seems to be some agreement that ID's indexing feature is kludgy at best. I am not an experienced coder or script writer, but I thought of an algorithm that might make the indexing job easier. I'm posting this so you all can tell me that I'm nuts. (So stipulated!) Suppose index markers came in two flavors, start and end. If ID assigned marker numbers (not replacing the levels of index entries) and marker-end numbers, indexing would become far more flexible. So, for example, the first index entry would have "Index Marker 1" (IM1) and would generate "Index Marker 1 END" (IM1_END) for the user to place in the appropriate location in the text. So when the user marks the beginning of an index reference (with whatever levels the user specifies), pressing "OK" would generate a pop-up saying "place index end marker(#) at desired point." Then the user would not have to bother with all of the approximations (e.g. Next # paragraphs, Next # pages, etc.) that ID has now. If I'm right
