InDesign

I have had this issue when placing a PDF in Indesign, I do all my checks and prepwork. I run my preflight to check to make sure the file is CMYK. When it is not I right click and edit original in Acrobat. I do my conversion there. The file relinking tends to lock up Indesign and my fans go nuts. Computer is an M1 Max with 32 gigs of RAM. Indesign 21.5.1.73 in macOS Tahoe (latest update). I have had this with a few larger page PDF’s, the current one is 104 - 5.5 x 8.5 pages. It has been trying to relink for over 20 mins now. I could force quite and just re-add the PDF’s again from scratch with the CMYK profile done and it will be no problem, only when it comes to relinking the file. I have reset preferences numerous times with no luck. Very frustrating. Have this with various files, anyone else having this issue? Any fixes? Not sure if this is combined but it seems to have locked up the CC Hub. I have never tried opening it when Indesign is locked up trying to update the linked file, so

HELP!  I am unable to print my InDesign document.  The error message states 'This document contains links to files/URL(s) that are not accessible. Please check your network connectivity or the original source of content.'  When looking at the links page, there are no errors issued.  Preflight shows no errors.   I've gone to System Preferences/Security & Privacy/Privacy/Files and Folders, and verified that 'Document Folder' is checked under Adobe InDesign. Any other suggestions?  Thank you!TR 

I need some hand-holding please.I just exported to pdf, and got this message, and would be happy to fix it if I had a clue what to do:The document's transparency blend space doesn't match the destination color space specified in the Export Adobe PDF settings.To avoid color appearance changes in the PDF, click cancel and change either the document's transparency blend space, or the destination color space.  Can you please translate that into English and tell me what to do?

Recently, I've noticed that InDesign is setting text boxes to automatically auto-fit content when I resize them.  It doesn't mesh with my flow.  How do I turn this setting off?  I'm tiring of constantly selecting objects and disabling them.  TIring of accidentally scaling images disproportionally.  Please note:  I know how to turn auto-fitting off.  What I want to do is make sure it is not on when I add a new frame.

こちらの投稿とほぼ同じ内容のことが起きているのですが、・IDMLで書き出したものを開き保存し直す・バックグラウンド保存をオフにする・PDF 書き出しプリセットを変えてみる・PDF 書き出しプリセット名を半角英数字にする・下記リンクの通りダウンサンプルまわりを調整するhttps://helpx.adobe.com/jp/indesign/desktop/troubleshoot/file-and-output-issues/pdf-export-fails.htmlをやってみたのですが解決せず、・エラーの原因だと示されたページを除いて書き出すをやってみても、今度は別のページが原因とされてエラーが出てしまい、どうしてもpdfを書き出せません…。 エラー元だと示されるページに関しても、重い画像は使用しておらず、メモリの問題ではないように思います。Illustratorのデータをリンクファイルとしてマスターに配置しておりますが、こちらについても重いデータではありません。 もし何かお知恵がございましたらご教授いただけますと幸いです。何卒よろしくお願いいたします。 環境につきましてindesign：バージョン20.5.5MacBook pro ：チップ Apple M5 pro：メモリ24GBOS ：Tahoe バージョン26.4 ＊データの保存先はクラウドではなくローカルのデスクトップです。＊indesignのアンインストールはまだ試しておりません。やってみるべきでしょうか…＊indesign20.5.5は現在インストールできるバージョンの中で一番安定しているものだと思うので、極力アップデートはしない方法があれば…と思っています。＊今までindesign2023を使用しておりましたが、転職に伴いindesign2025を使用し始めて1週間程度です。今回初めてpdf書き出しをしようとしたところ、書き出せず…という流れです。

Ever since updating to the new version of InDesign (about a week or two ago), I encounter inconsistent behavior with expanding individual panels on the right side when you click on the panel name. Sometimes, the won't expand. When this occurs, I also cannot open the panel as a stand alone window by selecting  it from the Window menu. However I CAN use the << at the top of the Panel menu to expand all the panels. Once it occurs, if I close InDesign and reopen it, that usually fixes the problem. I have not been able to find a consistent thing that causes this to happen. I think it might occur more when opening files that have not been saved in the current version, but sometimes doing that does not cause the problem.

I am working in Indesign CC 2019 on a document that will not show "selection" when perfoming find/change.It only show document as the option to search. How do I restore all the options (selection, story, etc.).  ??  Mike

In the latest update of InDesign when I have multiple shapes and frames on the page selected, if my cursor is above something like a rectangle with content/picture inside it, I only move the picture that is below it at the time. Rather than the whole selection of objects as it used to. I tested before and after the update and it was something that only broke with 21.4. If I cursor over a solid shape object while still selecting the entire group (including the photo frame) that then moves the entire section but only if cursor above a placed fill object does it break. What could possibly be happening?

As far as I can see, you haven't been able to fix the problem yet.I managed to get InDesign working with a little trick. I renamed my files:gl_ES.dic; gl_ES.aff and hyph_gl_ES.dic aspt_BR.dic; pt_BR.aff and hyph_pt_BR.dicThen I replaced the original Adobe files located in the pt_BR (Brazilian Portuguese) folder with the renamed mine. I'm never going to edit texts in Brazilian Portuguese, so I won't have any difficulty. That way I don't have to change the Info.plist file either. For InDesign I'm working in Brazilian Portuguese, when in reality I'm doing it in Galician. Since I have the OS in Spanish, I tried changing the files "DisplayLanguageNames.es.txt" and "DisplayLanguageNames.es_ES.txt" by changing the string "$$$/Lilo/DisplayLanguageName/pt_BR=galego" but it still appears everywhere "Portuguese (Brazil)".Would there be a way to change this? 

In Design non funziona piu  

Hello everyone.I want to obtain the paragraph style of the first paragraph of the selected text, and then obtain the leading (the original unchanged leading ) from the paragraph style.The premise is that the name and grouping of the paragraph style are uncertain. 

Lately since the the most recent Indesign update, I've been having a lot of trouble getting the application to actually close. I can still click everything else and run files and make edits etc, but when I want to close the application nothing happens. I also turned on "Reset preferences on quit" but that didn't really help. Anyone know how to fix this? 

This new udpate gives me a contstant spinning wheel almost after each action I try to make. Select an item, move an item, open a panel, open a menu, anything really—each interactions causes the wheel to appear for 1-2sec. My productivity has been completely obliterated. Anyone else having this issue?   MacBook Pro 2023 M2 Max 32 GB  Sequoia 15.0.1     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hallo liebe Adobe-Community.Ich melde mich heute mit einem dringenden Anliegen bei euch:Wir benötigen schnellstmöglich einen Mac-Installer für InDesign 2023 v18 da wir mitten in einem Großprojekt stecken und einen neuen Arbeitsplatz zur Entlastung einrichten wollen. Wir benötigen eine v18-Version, da wir mit priint:Comet arbeiten und jegliche neuere Versionen die Automatisierungs-Optionen zerschießen würde. Wir arbeiten auch Mac Studios mit dem OS 26.Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe!Lieben GrußPatrick

Hello good people,I have a project in InDesign. The agency that created the documents worked quite professional. However, I am not impressed the way that created the styles for Headings level 2 to 6. They’ve created a heading style using Nested Styles. The heading continues with the text paragraph. Once I separate the heading from the main text using EM SPACE, the InDesign recognize the text before Em SPACE as being the header. See below. 1.4 Definition of requirements is the heading while the rest of the text is body text. Here is how they defined the style.  Well, my problem is when I generate the TOC. InDesign brings in the entire paragraph.So, I have to manually clean the TOC deleting the text between EM SPACE and dots. The dots have a character style named DOTS SPACING. The TOC should look like that.I tried to do that using FIND/CHANGE tool.FIND: tilda m (Em SPACE) + \w (any word character)However, how I set to stop to DOTS SPACING character style?Is there a way to do this automat

Not sure if it is Adobe or Apple, but when relinking file with long path and filename, it doesn't display full filename, which is often hard to find correct file in list.How do I display full path and file name on MacOS?  

When Application Frame in InDesign is off there's a small dark horizontal bar in the upper left corner of my screen. When I turn the Application Frame on then off the little black bar goes away but then comes right back on next launch. 

Text wrap is off; even a one px movement makes the text vanish entirely; text is not partially cut off; textbox is all the way to the front.This is happening for all text boxes. When they are moved at all right now, the text turns invisible.Version is In Design 2026.

공간이 충분한데 메뉴 항목이 모두 표시되지 않고 가려져잇어 스크롤하기 상당히 힘듭니다.특히 삼각형 아이콘을 클릭해야만 스크롤되는 UI가 너무나 비효율적입니다.마우스 휠로 스크롤 안되나요? 윈도우 디스플레이 배율 설정과의 호환성이 빨리 개선되었으면 좋겠네요.

Hola. Un archivo .indd fue dañado debido a que no se pudo guardar adecuadamente dentro de un servido de mi empresa. Ahora  me sale esta ventana diciendo esto:Podeis ver como solucionarlo y reparar el archivo? es muy importante.  Muchas gracias 

A few weeks ago, my copy of InDesign’s tool features quit working with no clear indicator as to why. Proportional resizing of frames and text boxes no longer work, with or without touching the shortcut keys and their options. Holding option to duplicate objects no longer works, holding shift to draw straight and diagonal lines or gradients no longer works, as well as a couple other option/shift tool features I can’t think of at the current moment. I have tried resetting my preferences and deleting all of the files I can find on my Mac under Library and such, which did let this work for about a week. However, it is back to doing the same thing again.I’m running the latest MacOS and Adobe Creative Cloud software versions. 2023 iMac M3.

I am working on a complex layout in InDesign 2026 that contains a large number of images and tables. When I export the file to an EPUB, all the images and tables are being pushed to the very end of the chapter (or book) instead of remaining in their original layout positions.Manually cutting and pasting the HTML code for every single asset in the exported EPUB is too time-consuming.Is there a specific export setting, native feature (like Object Anchoring), or an existing script that can automatically force images and tables to retain their inline positioning relative to the surrounding text during EPUB export? Any workflow tips or automation solutions would be greatly appreciated!

This is quite a frequent bug I have lately. Whenever I am switching to other app while InDesign is idle (can still be seen on screen; not minimized), and when going back to Indesign, some weird bug happen in one combo. The cursor icon will stuck showing Move tool or Hand tool, regardless I am actually using Pen Tool, Type Tool or other tools. Actual tool is functioning normally, but showing a wrong tool icon is frustrating.In the same time, I cannot do any Undo. The history list stop recording any new changes or actions, even clicking on the previous History records do not change anything, stuck as well. Cannot do undo is a nightmare. When this occur, Indesign cannot be closed in normal way.. must be terminated through Activity Monitor. I am using Macbook Pro M1 Pro 32GB RAM. Latest current InDesign (21.5.1). Hopefuly any solution to this.
