InDesign

I'm trying (and failing) to diagnose what is causing the last line of this paragraph to be further away from the previous lines.I tried to change paragraph styles, even going back to [Basic Paragraph Style], but they all seem to behave the same way. Any idea of what may be happening here?Thank you!

Hello, I was having no problems using this script.  Unfortunately when i reached page 133, i ran the footnote breakline script so i can move a footnote and make it inline.An error box appeared and all the text disappeared!I pressed undo but that didn't solve the issue.I tried force recompose, again that didn't solve the issue. Any solutions?

A client sent us a pdf of something that they wanted us to print for them. They later sent us a new copy with some changes that had been made. So we completely deleted the old files and saved the new ones to the same folder. The new pdf opens the way it should in Acrobat, Photoshop, internet browsers, and the preview in File Explorer. But when I import it to InDesign, it pulls up the old version of the file every time, even though they have been deleted and didn't have the same file name anyway. So I deleted the contents of InDesign's cache folder and used the shift+ctrl+alt shortcut on startup to delete the preference file. I also tried it on a different computer. I also saved the files from the email from the client to a different location and imported that copy. All to no avail. Is this a problem with InDesign or could it be something in the way he made the changes to the pdf? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I searched for some information. Is this it?WhenScalingOptions.ADJUST_SCALING_PERCENTAGFor example, if I select an object like this, how should I write it?var sel = app.documents[0].selection; After moving and zooming the image multiple times, the frame becomes misaligned. I want to clear it. 

I used:var sel = app.documents[0].selection; sel[j].visibleBounds = [sb[0], lcb, sb[2], rcb];to control two charts.I noticed that sometimes 00001 is placed at the front, and its height is used as the standard for changes. But sometimes 00002 is placed at the front, and its height is used as the reference.These are not based on which one was originally at the front, but seem to be based on the order of the filenames 00001 and 00002. Is this random? It doesn't seem so.How to ensure that the initial top-ranked item remains the standard reference and continues to rank first. That is, make it sb[0]. 

Two versions of InDesign, how do I switch to the default application for Indd files? Sometimes when the higher version is unstable, I would like to keep the file opened by default with the lower version.Prevent being opened by the higher version and trying to regret it too late. I tried using the default app with win11 and realized it was locked and could not be changed.Then I realized that the later installed version was the default app. So it didn't work, I re-installed it all over again in order.     <Title renamed by MOD>

Is there a way too have Indesign pull images from subfolders when using data merge?I have 6,000+ images in multiple folders, to help keep them organized. eg. H:\Images\JKL\K02501.psdMy InDesign file is on my local computer.

Hi,I'm building a UXP plugin for Adobe InDesign. I want to get the full file path of the currently open document. I tried this:const doc = app.activeDocument;const filePath = await doc.fullName;  // fullName returns a Promise But I get this error:Error: Could not find an entry of 'file:///path'at l._getEntryImpl (uxp://uxp-internal/webfs_scripts.js:2)Even when the document is saved, it still fails. How can I get the file path of the active document in InDesign using UXP?Is there any working methodThanks!

For a book cover, I have created the images in Photoshop but assembled the final thing in InDesign to work with the text more easily. A small part of a scifi character overlaps the book title to add depth, so I need to keep the background graphics and foreground graphics separate so that the title layer can be between them. I didn't think that would be a problem. But the semi-transparent fur of the character, which has highlights to indicate rim light from glowing objects in the background, ends up with dark edges in InDesign (and the resulting PDF), and I can't figure out why or what to do about it. Originally I was saving a TIFF file from Photoshop, but after I noticed this problem, I placed the Photoshop file (with only the needed layers for this character) directly in InDesign. I even tried merging all the layers first, in case there was something about the darker base layer that was coming through the rim light layer due to the reduced transparency in that area of the image.

Hello,I have pdf files for which the source Indesign files were lost. I found this interesting tutorial on how to convert pdf files to indesign directly from the program. https://www.adobe.com/learn/indesign/web/convert-pdf-to-indesign-document?learnIn=1 Unfortunately in my fully updated Indesign it does not work, even with the file provided as an exercise. Do you have any ideas what needs to be done for this to work?  

I have reset the preferences, force quit the program, exported an idml file and resaved it as an indd file. I have deleted the app and all of my data and then reinstalled the app and opened my saved idml file etc. I can not figure out what other reason it could be that the file wont save.  The computer that will open the file and let me make changes to it but not let me save the changes has the save and save as greyed out.  The computer that will not let me open the file or the app is the one I completely uninstalled the app from. If you have any other ideas of how to fix this problem I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I'm trying to do a data merge, I've selected my Data Source (a .csv file), but not all of the data fields (column headers) are showing up in the data merge box. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

When I set up a Paragraph style and apply it to Placed text, most of the time the Paragraph style will honor any embedded style anomalies (such as a single word in a paragraph that is italic rather than regular text). But sometimes a Paragraph style will turn all text within a paragraph to a single style (regular). I know that if I create an "italic" Character style and apply that to every word in a book that arrives in italic, a Paragraph style will honor those. But is there any way to choose "No style" when setting up a Paragraph style so the Placed text remains stylistically intact when it arrives? I don't see that option - only regular, italic, etc, which will apply to the whole paragraph. I can't explain why the italics within paragraphs sometimes survive my Paragraph styles and sometimes don't - I doubt some of my clients are marking their Word docs in any special way and others aren't - I doubt any of them are. Please let there be a benevolent Adobe-Deity out ther

Hi Adobe Community,I'm trying to custom XMP metadata into an InDesign file using uxp scripting  Here is the code I'm using  let { XMPMeta, XMPConst } = require("uxp").xmp;let meta = new XMPMeta();meta.setProperty(XMPConst.NS_XMP, "Name", "vkumarg");let prop = meta.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_XMP, "Name");console.log(prop.namespace); // xmp namespaceconsole.log(prop.options);console.log(prop.path); // NameThis sets the property  xmp:Name  vkumarg  /xmp:Name under the standard XMP namespace (http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/).However, after saving and reopening the file in Adobe InDesign, and going to:File → File Info → Advanced → Raw Data"The xmp:Name tag and value are not shown."Is this the correct way to write custom XMP metadata using UXP in InDesign?Why is the value not being shown in the rawInput section?

Bonjour,je cherche à sortir une tale des matières d'un livre de 400 pages. Or, seuls le découpage des 40 premières pages sort. Quand je clique en bas, je m'aperçois qu'il y a encore du texte mais il ne sort pas. A la place sort une ligne bleue comme une partie de page.

Bonjour, mon document dans Indesign ne s'ouvre plus. Il est enregistré sur le cloud. Indesign s'ouvre normalement, il ouvre les documents enregistrés en local, mais aucun document du cloud. J'ai essayé sur 2 ordinateurs et le problème est le même. J'ai essayé de télécharger le document mais cela ne marche pas non plus. C'est très urgent pour la récupération de mon document merci pour votre aide !  

I seem to have created some sort of 2 letter macro by mistake. When I type the letters "fl" by itself or in a work those letters disappear! I need help! I need the word "flyer" all the time.

I am creating a participant workbook. Each page includes a column that is 70% of the page AND a second column that is the remaining 30%. This 30% "galley" column is dedicated to summary information, notes, lines, and other "quick" items. This 30% column should always be on the OUTSIDE of Left and Right pages. Issue: When I need to INSERT a new page somewhere in the middle of the document, that galley column switches from LEFT to RIGHT and all my quick items are in the wrong place. Is there ANY way to avoid having to move all of the information back and forth every time I adjust the number of pages?Thanks for any advice."Lost New User"

I'm trying to figure out why the Dyatlov Mountain Icon.psd image is not being grouped in the Links Panel, even though it's the same image. I want to use this file as a template and I want to be able to replace that image quickly and efficiently in other documents. I'd love to be able to group those images now or failing that, figure out how to place the image so that it is grouped in the document.   

Hi, Dear Friends!I am trying a different function this time. To scan the text frame and any string formatted with the char style "sidenote", it extracts that text and creates an anchored text box in the margin with that text (different locations for even and odd pages).Chat GPT gave me this:--------------------->#target indesign(function () {var doc = app.activeDocument;var styleName = "sideNote"; // The character style for the sidenote text// Ensure the cursor is in a valid text frame or text storyif (!app.selection.length || !(app.selection[0] instanceof TextFrame) && !(app.selection[0] instanceof Text)) {alert("Please place your cursor in the story to start scanning.");//return;}var sel = app.selection[0];// If the selection is a TextFrame, use its parentStory, otherwise use the selected text's parentStoryvar story = (sel instanceof TextFrame) ? sel.parentStory : sel.parentStory;// Loop through the story to find all text with the "sidenote" character stylevar sideNotes =

I'm looking for all the Publish Online links I created over the past few months, where can I find them? Thanks for your help!

Is it sometimes necessary to distinguish between their uses?What is the basis for their use?In the code below, if I use bothsel[j].fit(FitOptions.FILL_PROPORTIONALLY); sel[j].fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);the first one will display incorrectly. 　I looked at it for a long time and didn't find much difference in their data sources.  if (sel.length == 1) { sel[j].visibleBounds = [sb[0], lcb, sb[2], rcb]; if (cp.length == 2) { sel[j].fit(FitOptions.PROPORTIONALLY); sel[j].fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT); } if (cp.length > 2) { sel[j].fit(FitOptions.FILL_PROPORTIONALLY); sel[j].fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT); } } 

Hi all - wondering if someone can help me with an issue i'm having with fonts & background tasks! I work with the Monserrat Font and lots of documents I open use the OTF version of the font which is never recognised that I have. I have tried many times to install and uninstall all different versions and nothing seems to work. I then have to find and replace all variations of the font to the version I do have. Aswell as this it then starts background tasks of adding this font (which are never completed), I then can't export for Print or Package documents until I have Force Quit the programme to cancel the background tasks and reopen the document which becomes very tideous when working on multiple documents. Does anyone have any solution for this?
