InDesign

Hi, I am wrestling with the world’s most frustrating InDesign file. Whenever I drag an image near text, or rearrange text boxes on the page, the text disappears. Text over graphics (no styles applied).. it acts like I have all these words in the box that it does not have room for but when I extend the box the words are small and don’t have any spaces here is an example of what a current page looks like. I am trying to place the keymap next to the text in the subsequent image  here you can see that the word “source” disappears when I tried to drag the group of objects next to it In addition, whenever I start over and create a new file in attempts to clear any weird paragraph or object styles, the text box starts aligned to the bottom even though the text frame options are aligned to the top… what the heck is going on here?   

InDesign 21.5 — Data Merge corrupts accented characters when running InlineMerge.jsxbinAfter updating to InDesign 21.5, Data Merge no longer handles accented characters correctly when I run my InlineMerge JSXBIN script.For example:Sección becomes Secci—nDescripción_ES becomes Descripci—n_ESThe problem affects both the Data Merge field names and the merged text.Steps to reproduce:Create a new InDesign document. Load a tab-delimited TXT file as a Data Merge source. The field names containing accented characters display correctly. Run the attached/linked inlineMerge.jsxbin script. Accented characters are replaced by incorrect characters, e.g. ó becomes —.Important: The exact same TXT file and the exact same script work correctly in the previous version of InDesign.I rolled back to the previous version and the problem immediately disappeared.This appears to be a regression in InDesign 21.5 affecting Data Merge and/or the scripting API used by the script.OS: macOSInDesign: 21.5Data source: 

When i open InDesign the app crashes. I’m unable to even open the app. I have re-installed the app, which didn’t solve the issue. I also tried installing other update versions, which also didn’t solve the issue. All my other Creative Cloud apps are up to date. What to do now?

Bonjour, j’ai l’impression d’avoir tout essayé, ceci est mon ultime recours pour comprendre ce qui se passe et peut-être à l’avenir éviter ce problème de façon plus optimisée.Mais pour l’instant, je suis censé rendre ce document demain pour l’imprimeur.Je travaille depuis environ 2 mois sur un document d’environ 800 pages, et aujourd’hui, sans rien changer à ma façon de travailler ou même les documents que je reçois, Indesign n’importe pas correctement le texte que j’importe, il supprime certains (pas tous) sauts de ligne qu’il y a initialement dans le texte.Ils ont beau être supprimés de manière aléatoire, il ne semble pas que ça soit réellement le cas car ce sont toujours les mêmes sauts de lignes qui sont supprimés peu importe à quel point je reproduis la manip.Ma façon de travailler est simple : Je reçois des nouveaux textes régulièrement (sous format Pages sur Mac), je fais un copier-coller depuis celui-ci (car impossible d’importer un format page avec cmd+d, il est grisé. D’habit

My Table of Contents generated in Indesign is not being read in the Read Out Loud function in Acrobat. The tagging structure within Acrobat all looks fine (<TOC>, <TOCI> etc.) and works when I disable the new Acrobat feature. This issue also applies to PDFs created previously, which again worked fine on the old version of Acrobat.I have also noticed other elements not being read also, as in alt text applied to inline figures and interactive forms.Any information at all would be helpful as I know my client will raise this issue.

I’m experiencing problems when importing images (TIFF, PNG) and then reducing their size. Despite using the reduced display quality, InDesign crashes several times in a row. There are also frequent slowdowns, and I’m working directly from the computer’s internal hard drive.

InDesign will not work on my Macbook but works ok on my imac. Illustrator and Photoshop work fine. InDesign won't load. I've deleted the preferences.

I'm experiencing what appears to be a bug in InDesign for Windows (InDesign 21.4.1).After updating to InDesign 21.x, I can no longer drag selected text to another position.Here's what I've confirmed: Object frames can be dragged normally. Only text drag-and-drop is affected. This happens in multiple documents, including newly created ones. Resetting Preferences did not fix the issue. The most interesting part is that, on Master Pages, drag-and-drop works on the right-hand page, but does not work on the left-hand page. Another Japanese user reported exactly the same issue on the Adobe Community forum several months ago, and the discussion remains unresolved. Is this a known bug? Can anyone reproduce this issue on Windows?The issue started after updating to InDesign 21.x. After downgrading to InDesign 19.x, text drag-and-drop works normally again.I also contacted Adobe Support by phone, but the issue could not be resolved. *Here's the Japanese thread describing the same issue. 

Bonjour Adobe,Je souhaite signaler un problème que nous avons rencontré avec InDesign 25 concernant la Fusion de données.Depuis la mise à jour, il est impossible de charger une source de données (.txt). Dès la sélection du fichier, InDesign affiche le message :« La source de données sélectionnée contient un ou plusieurs noms de champs vides. »Après de nombreux tests, nous pouvons confirmer que le problème ne vient pas des fichiers de données :test avec plusieurs fichiers .txt, y compris un fichier minimal (nom / Test) ; test avec plusieurs documents InDesign ; réinitialisation des préférences ; réinstallation complète d'InDesign.Nous avons également comparé plusieurs configurations :InDesign 25 : le problème est reproductible. Version précédente d'InDesign : les mêmes fichiers fonctionnent immédiatement. Tests réalisés sur Windows et macOS, avec le même constat.La seule solution que nous avons trouvée est de revenir à la version précédente d'InDesign.Pouvez-vous vérifier s'il s'agit d'

Bonjour impossible de faire lam ise à jour, Echec a chaque essai…. avez vous le meme porbleme ou une solution? 

Hola, tengo un problema a ver si alguien me puede ayudar. Estoy haciendo un libro de matemáticas, utilizo el editor de fórmulas de indd. Cuando empaqueto las fórmulas quedan como .svg, como es para impresión, debería poder obtener un .tif, o un .eps...  cuando exporto a pdf, aunque incruste perfil CMYK, la fórmula se exporta en RGB, por lo que el pdf sale con error. He intentado cambiar la extensión... no sé cómo solucionarlo y no encuentro en foros una solución. ¿alguien sabe cómo hacerlo? 

Question: Since the spacing of the last line has not changed, special handling is needed. Do I feel a bit clumsy in my current way of thinking?Do you have a simpler science?Target: Current text box.Status: cursor in line (not selected)Original Leading: 20.8 points.Operation result: Set the line spacing in the current text box to 19.35;Exception: The last line spacing is still 20.8 (special handling required)/** @Function Add a line and apply new line spacing**/var d = app.activeDocument;var item = d.selection[0];//Insert point to select the entire text boxif (item.constructor.name == "InsertionPoint" && item.parent.constructor.name == "Story") { item.parentTextFrames[0].texts[0].select();}//Setting line spacing: An extra line has not been selected at this timenewItem = d.selection[0];var oLinesNum = newItem.lines.length;for (i = 0; i < oLinesNum; i++) { newItem.lines[i].leading = 19.35}Later, I added this paragraph and was able to handle the last line, but I always

Le document final se compose de plusieurs chapitres, chacun possédant ses notes (notes de fin) dont la numérotation automatique est insérée dans le corps du chapitre après le mot concerné sous la forme d’un appel de note. Je souhaiterai en plus, en début de chaque note, insérer automatiquement le numéro de la page où se trouve cet appel de note.Est-ce possible et comment ?

I am teaching an introduction to Design in journalism for my undergraduate students. What are some good tutorials they can watch?

I am constantly having to call our IT Department to fix an issue with even opening InDesign up. They say without Adobe making a “Patch” to fix the problem, we will continue to have these issues. Please, Adobe, fix my InDesign issue once and for all. I use it all day, every day for my job.

Indesign crashes when exporting to PDF interactive when it was working fine a few months ago. published direct to my computer, contains 2 hyperlinks. Indesign Version 21.5.1This is frustrating as I am trying to keep my team working on Indesign instead of using AI to do reports. And I am losing the battle when we cannot do a simple task as exporting a pdf (single page) : this is killing our productivity. I have an apple silicon M2 Max chipOS version 14.3.1 (23D60)I hope you /someone can help me sort this out.Much appreciated. 

Can anyone explain to me why every single time there is an update to InDesign or Bridge on my machine, i immediately get the Application error 0xc0000142 unable to start correctly? I know that simply repairing Visual C++ Redistributable will fix the issue, but in my instance, that is an admin task that we are not able to accomplish without getting our IT Helpdesk involved. So basically everytime I update, I am dead in the water until my helpdesk team can get on it. It is just silly.  And yes, we have uninstalled and reinstalled both the Adobe programs and the latest C++ packages. What is the deal and how to correct this?

I updated to InDesgin V20.0 on a Mac and no matter what tool I select, the cursor/mouse pointer arrow changes to a hand with index finger pointing (see image below). This is very confusing and hard to adapt to. I also can't tell what tool I'm using by looking at the pointer as it's always the hand icon. I'd like to switch it back to the former arrow pointer or the tool that's being used but can't figure out how. Anyone else having htis issue or figured out a workaround?    <Title renamed by MOD>

After a very, VERY long list of new bugs that appear in the Adobe suite like copy and paste not working, constant crashing and instability, indesign is coming to a new low. Since the last 2 updates I can't even seem to close Indesign without using force close in the Windows task manager?! How can I get this program to close without having to resort to bashing it with the Windows banhammer every single time.Running the latest version of CC and indesign, no background tasks active and  everything works except every single native option to close the program!And with a 14th gen i7, 16GB CPU and 64GB DDR5 it's not a performance issue.Strangly when using the free Affinity tools there are none of the horrible and inexcusable bugs that a billion dollar company can't seem to fix.

When I select Paragraph or Text in InDesign file It will take time to select and then take time to deselect.Slow performance for each task why?

Depois que atualizei o INDD para a versão mais recente o desfazer parou de funcionar propriamenteSe voce fizer 10 ações ele some com as primeiras na aba historico e ficam só as 4 ultimas mais ou menos, só da para desfazer 4 açõesJa apaguei cache, remontei o cache, reinstalei e nada resolveuEu tenho 32 de ram, então não deve ser por causa de pouca memoria, mesmo porque até então funcionava muito bemAlguem tem alguma luz? Obrigado! 

Hi Adobe Team,As someone with years of experience using Photoshop and Illustrator, I find it frustrating that InDesign lacks certain standard mouse features found in these programs. This inconsistency creates unnecessary friction and makes the workflow less intuitive.Zooming with the Scroll Wheel: In InDesign, zooming requires holding the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) key while scrolling. This extra step is not required in other Adobe programs and adds an unnecessary layer to memorization and workflow. Direct zooming with the scroll wheel would align InDesign with industry standards and significantly improve usability.Middle Mouse Button for the Hand Tool: Many design programs allow users to pan by clicking and holding the middle mouse button (scroll wheel). In InDesign, this functionality is missing, forcing reliance on the Spacebar. Adding support for the middle mouse button to pan would make navigation faster and more intuitive.These features are essential for a seamless user experi

While working with images, InDesign displays a continuous blue spinning indicator. Image frames cannot be resized reliably, numeric dimension changes stop responding, and InDesign eventually freezes and must be closed through Task Manager.Troubleshooting completedRebuilt and fully updated Windows 11 -- Dell Precision 5570 running Windows 11Installed current Dell-supported drivers.Installed the Dell NVIDIA RTX A2000 8 GB driver.Reinstalled Creative Cloud, InDesign, and all required Adobe applications.Confirmed the issue persists after the rebuild and reinstall.Could I please confirm:Whether this is a current known InDesign issue. Which versions are affected. Whether a fix or supported workaround is available. Whether InDesign is expected to invoke cmd.exe. Which logs or diagnostic files should be collected.
