Hi, I have several key words to add to an index. These key words appear on every single page of the document. That's an unavoidable issue. However, can I filter in some way so that the H3 headers with these key words are the only instances to appear in the Index?   

 For example, clicking this @ button will pop up a menu next to it.

Stroke alignment appears to be opposite for the interior of compound pathsStroke aligned centerStroke aligned inside (which is actually aligned "outside" of the interior shape)Stroke aligned outside (which is actually aligned "inside" the interior shape)This is mainly an issue when outlining text that includes an aligned stroke. Is there a way to fix this without stacking shapes?

There are two scripts that I am in dire need of for my current project in ID 2025.Both are from very professional script writers (they are commercial), and they say that their scripts have been tested on many machines and systems with no trouble. But when I run them, they crash ID and have to exit via task manager.Is there some way to debug these scripts on my machine to grasp which part of the code is causing the issues?Very frustrated.....Thank you, and have a good day!Susan Flamingo

My code.:var sel = app.documents[0].selection; pp = sel[j].parentPage;Now there are three conditions that can identify left and right pages, as well as single pagespp.side == PageSideOptions.RIGHT_HAND pp.side == PageSideOptions.SINGLE_SIDED pp.side == PageSideOptions.LEFT_HANDI now want to handle the first and last pages separately. It would be helpful if I could determine whether the current page is a spread.

Does one need to package a book first before it may be exported for print?Don't remember what I did but I was able to export one time and with file open, Export available. Next time, "Export" was greyed out and not availble. Second time I think I right clicked (don't remember) on the three dots at the top right of the Book Panel and the drop down said package for print, so I did. Both worked out but the second one did not produce a window whereby I could check all that I wanted, such as bleed, margins, make sure RGB changed to CMYK,, use document settings and so on. Is it possible (I'm guessing it is), there is more than one way to go about this. Trying to remember just one seems to be slippery for me.Thanks ahead of time.

I've been fighting the Book Page Numbering in trying to get a Table of Contents to work across 35+ chapters.  Reading every reference I can find on the forums and general internet searches. Nothing is seems to match what I'm seeing.I'm on CC2017 InDesign... Windows 10.I have yet to see an example that doesn't show the pages number incrementing in the Book Panel out to the right of each chapter. In my case, I've never seen anything other than the number of pages in each chapter shown to the right of the Chapter (Document) within the Book.The screen capture below shows the current number of pages in each document/chapter. In ALL examples I see, it would be Chapter 01 would be 1-4, Chapter 02 would be 5-8, Chapter 03 would be 9-11, etc.I've checked and re-checked "Numbering & Section Options" and synchronization and everything I can find over and over... and can't get it to change.We are running into some deadline issues, and it's starting to look a little bleak. After pushing to

It says "an error has occurred. Please try again sometime."  I do notice that it shows that it is activated. However, I am not sure that it is registered. I am posting to see if there is someone has advice. It would be appreciated. Thank you.

Where would I find the Pantone library files??

I have a document with paragraph (section) headings like "2.1 Fun With Numbers" that I want to be picked up by the running header so that while you're reading section 2.1 Fun With Numbers, that is indicated at the top of the page. When I use numbering in the paragraph style to automate the numbers in the headings like 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and so on, the running header doesn't pick up the number "2.1" but only picks up the text after it "Fun With Numbers." But, the TOC picks up the entirety, number and text. How do I get a running header or similar tool to show the number and following text at the top of the page? Thanks in advance!

Dear community,I have this problem for a while now: When working on academic books, the authors often number their chapters and I use a paragraph style with automatic numbering for the headlines of the chapter.I then create master pages with a running header which refers to that paragraph style. But the running header cuts off the numbering of the chapters, so e.g. "1. Introduction" appears on the master page only as "Introduction".I am using Adobe CC 2020. Any ideas (beside using the plug-in "Power Headers" which seems to not work under CC 2020)?

I used zoom and FitOptions multiple times.Then I ended up with a messed-up frame with some stuff on the sides.I had to manually cut the frame out.This doesn't seem to be the “restore zoom percentage” issue.Can I use a script to clear it?

I've got an indesign document with 131 pages (front side of postcards). I need to add the back side of the postcard (Master) to every other page. I don't want to manually do this due to the time and that I will need to do this again and again. Does anyone have a script that will allow for an insertion of even blank pages on the even number pages and then I can apply the master page to all blank pages?  Anything will help. Thank you!!

Unfortunately, I have three problems with InDesign Publish Online and am hoping for some help.1.I have an InDesign file that contains a video. Everything works fine in the Publish Online view.However, I would like to allow users to download it as a PDF. Unfortunately, instead of the video or a still image, there's just an empty frame in this PDF. I would like to have a specific image instead of the video in the PDF. Or, if necessary, an interactive PDF where the video works.2.Also, the page transitions don't work at all. I've tried so many things, but it never works. I want a page-turning effect.3.I would prefer to download it as HTML5 and host it on our server so I can set my own link. Do I have any control over the view?> The pages are stuck in the top corner of the browser, on a white background, and there's no menu bar, so there's no PDF download option. (A view like the Publish Online view would be great.)Many thanks in advance!

I want to reuse the rwJSON() function, but I don't know how to pass the name to "myJSON. n = v";For example, I want to write data with a field (name is myParStn, value is 20) to my.json, but I found that rwJSON(myPar, v) cannot be implemented. Here, n cannot be used as a parameter.It can be used as a field name on its own. rwJSON(myparStn,r); function rwJSON(n,v) { // read the json file's contents var myJSON = readFile(pathToMyJSONFile); if (!myJSON) return alert('Could not read JSON file.'); // parse as json myJSON = JSON.parse(myJSON); // input text; myJSON.n = v; var f = writeFile(pathToMyJSONFile, JSON.stringify(myJSON, undefined, '\t')); } 

Hi , our libraries are not available to us anymore. We work on virtual desktops under citrix. Has anyone a solution for us?Thanks! Frank

I frequently need to relink multiple images in my InDesign documents. usually when updating product visuals. Is there a script or recommended method to batch relink images to a new folder without doing it manually one by one? I’d appreciate any suggestions or links to existing scripts that could help speed up this process. Thanks!   

Hi I have created a reflowable epub in InDesign. I have applied styles throughout. In screenshot 1 below, you will see two paras with my indent para style applied. But on export, a space appears between the two paras. Screenshot 2 is the Thorium reader view where you will see the space. .It happens here and there throughout the document. This is the first time this has happened to me and I can’t find any logic to it.  In the para style, there is no space before or space after. I show hidden characters in screenshot 1, which is the same hidden character I see for the other indent paras that export fine. When I try to fix the problem eg make the 2 paras one para, new spaces appear between other unrelated paras throughout the document. I have been exporting epubs for months without this happening and have not changed the export settings so that can’t be a factor.  It is also nothing to do with reflowability as I have not had this problem before in months with my reflow

Hi friends!I would like to hear suggestions from the members about the best way to make a consistent task list that I can check and Uncheck as I proceed in my long document. In other words I would like to write the tasks for **each page** that I have to complete and be able to mark them as completed and then I could walk through the document to see which pages of outstanding tasks that I have to complete.I understand that I could theoretically use notes to mark what I have done what I have to do but it doesn't seem that that is the correct way to do things.Tahnk youSF

Hi, Is there a way I can relink a select number of images on a document in one go rather than having to relink one by one? For example, in the image below, the graphic is duplicated 112 times. Let's say I want to replace 50 of the links with a graphic that has a different price on it. At the moment, I have to select the graphics I want to change and then go through the relink procedure 50 times, which is very time-consuming (and incredibly frustrating!) Is there a way to do this within InDesign? Is there a script available? I'm also happy to use Illustrator if there's a way it can be done there, although I haven't found a solution for that either. Thanks for any help you guys can give. 

Hi, PL help me in resolving the crash issue of Indesign 2025 (Ver 20.4.1).It throws below error log--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<crash exception="EXCEPTION_HEAP_CORRUPTION" exceptionCode="0xc0000374" instruction="0x00007FFD31A7C8F9"><backtrace crashedThread="0"></dumpType><hbLogSessionDllStatus>ERROR_HB_UNABLE_TO_LOAD_DLL</hbLogSessionDllStatus></crash>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone. I'm having some new trouble with text wrapping, specifically with the pencil tool. I have other options to accomplish what I want, but I'd like to fix this issue. For whatever reason, the contour options are greyed out when I select to wrap around a pencil line. This has never happened before; it always gave me options to wrap around a drawn line, say for a png image that I couldn't "detect edges" for to wrap around as you can with a jpg. It doesn't matter which text wrapping selection I choose—no contour options show up. Any insights? 

Why on earth would Indesign automatically insert a running head on the first page of a chapter that has been placed in a book at the same time all files in the project are placed in a book? Been a user for several decades and have never had a file get a running head automatically inserted on the first page of a chapter simply by putting all my files in a book. As you can see, I already had shifted the running head to the bottom of the page with only the folio. But once I placed the files in the book, Indesign decides to place a running head at the top. (before placing the files in the book, all files were all recto start, regardless of whether they would remain recto start, or be verso start once placed in the book, AS I HAVE DONE FOR DECADES), Has so called "AI" or as I call it "artificial ignorance" decided that a shifted page needs a new running head inserted? In all my decades of using Indesign, files placed in a book are done so without alteration of their first page compositon. W

Hi everyone, I’m working on a layout in InDesign and trying to wrap text around a circular image, but the text isn’t flowing neatly around the shape. it looks uneven and awkward. I’ve tried using the Text Wrap panel, but I might be missing something. What’s the correct way to make text wrap smoothly around a circle or custom shape? Any tips or settings I should check?
