InDesign

I have recently had two proofs made for a book that I have written and illustrated. I would like to print in black and white if possible to keep costs down, however I've been having trouble with the grayscale images losing their contrast and rich blacks. The second proof was done in color, and the sepia images look great. I've put them side by side for comparison (the b&w appears more washed out in person). Is there something I should be doing to the b&w files to avoid the loss of values? I edited them in photoshop, converted to grayscale, increased contrast, saved as PNG's, dropped into my InDesign book file, and then exported for print. Thanks!

I have 10,000 names that need to be flowed into multiple linked text boxes. As the names are different lengths, I am getting some bad rivers. I'd like to find a script that will re-arrange the names (they don't have to be in any particular order), in order to best minimize bad rivers. Hope this makes sense.Any ideas, anyone?

My understanding is that importing/placing a PDF with multiple pages into InDesign has gone through some recent revisions. I'm not looking to convert the PDF into ID objects...just place each page of the PDF into an ID doc as-is. No script necessary. I'm am able to make a bunch of individual PDF files from the multiple page PDF and import those one at a time. Thank works fine. I was able to import the first few pages of the multiple page PDF but it just stops importing after a bit. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Hank

Users are facing issues with InDesign and illustrator. Application is getting stuck. USers have to quit session in order to work. Troubleshooting steps have been completed by the users.No one from the Abobe Support is helping or calling back even. Very dissapointed by the service and support.

One necessary skill completely eludes me. (Actually, lots do, but I only need to add this one now.) I have a multipage document. I need to add a page in the middle of it. I know how to add a page and how to draw a text box in it. What I cannot seem to grasp is how to fit that added page within the flow of threaded pages rather than as a separate story. I'm annexing a file so I can express my problem in concrete terms. I need to have a page viii following page vii. I know how to thread between vii and viii. Then I need viii to thread to page 1, and that's where I get messed up. When I click on viii's out box, I get a loaded cursor. If I position that loaded cursor in the upper left-hand corner of page 1 and click, the page 1 material ends up starting on page viii, and then I can't add the text I need to. Will it work if I type my new text before the page 1 material and then add a next page break? (I apologize if I'm not making much sense.) If not, can someone give me a step-by

For example:You now have 6 objects selected that may contain text frame and images。 How tu  use a script to find out the text frame, ,  theb release 2-3 lines of overflow text if there is any. whole file here      

Hi. I've used the Publish Online capability for many InDesign documents, and this has never happened before. When I choose to share this document on Facebook, instead of the cover image, I get a generic image. Why? I'm not doing anything differently than ever before....

HI!! im looking to achieve the fill/highlight look u get from just selecting the text like image 1, but of course when I change the fill of the text box, it just makes a rectangle out of it (img 2) , is there any way to achieve this? Thanks a bunch!!pS: if there's not a way to make this i highly encourage adobe to put it on, i think it's rlly useful considering the modern trends in design xoxo  

InDesign is lagging after I run the latest update. It takes at least one minute to do any action and is very frustrating.  I noticed that if I change the view settings to Fast Display, it goes back to operating normal but I don't like working with that setting because I can't see the images while I am working on a document. But I thought this might give some extra information on what the issues might be. Anyone has any advices?  I am working on a MacBook Pro with 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7 6 core processor and a 16GB RAM and I never had those kind of issues with Indesign before.   

I'm trying to resize several images together on a page. I try to select more than one image frame by holding Shift, but it doesn't register. It simply deselects the previous image frame and selects the new one. If I try dragging from outside of the document's borders, it selects the image frames but also selects other frames I drag across. I thought perhaps it has something to do with the images each being anchored to different text, but I just tried importing a few images without anchors and still I can't use shift to select them all. Any ideas? I'm using 19.5.4 on Windows 10. Thank you.

The checkbox for hyphenate is not in the pragraph styles window. When I select the dropdown, it doesn't show "show options" . How do I get this back or has it moved? 

So basically I'm doing a layout for bible in malayalam. However, I'm stuck with it's headers. So basically, it should have Chapter Name - Chapter Number. (For eg: Mathew 3). But in some cases, where there are 2 chapter numbers or continuation of chapter from previous page with new chapter is where i met with problems. So, i'm using 2 master pages. In first master page, one with <Chapter Name> text variable & <Chapter Nu> for single chapter pages. For others, I'm using <Chapter Name> <Chapter Nu>-<Chapter Nu2>. Chapter Nu 2 is using last page running header feature and Chapter Nu is using first page Running header. I can make it work but when there is no clear visible chapter number in that page it doesn't detect and gives me Mathew 4-4 instead of Mathew 3-4. Please anyone help

I suddenly realized that manually setting the objectstyle of a group separately does not affect the original objectstyle of objects in the group.But I want to use objectstyles to control groups, and I found that the objectstyles in the group will change to the objectstyles of the group.Is there a way to achieve the effect of manual setting without affecting it?

I ran into a problem with InDesign when creating a package to send to a collaborator. Although the packaging process completed successfully, I noticed that some images were missing from the "Links" folder. Has anyone experienced this before or knows why certain linked images might not be included, even if the package was created without any error messages?

Hi! I’ve noticed that QR codes generated with some free online tools have stopped working after some time. Does anyone know if the QR codes created with InDesign’s built-in tool are permanent? Will they continue to work indefinitely?

Help please.The INDD Publish links work but the documents are not showing in dashboard or dropdown to update... so I have to create new links each time I have to edit the file.

I've already had this issue before... InDesign export PDF refuses to export any images. Some are PNG embedded and some are linked PDFs both don't show up. Why does this keep happening?

Hey all 🙂 I'm creating a digital comic book in inDesign.  Does anyone have any information on how to create comic book word balloons for dialogue inside of inDesigne easily? I did see a process for it on YouTube but it was a number of steps.  I'm wondering if there's an easy way to do it or a template that someone has made?   

Things look cool before PDF export but when I view it many of the pages with master overrides have the paragraph styles changed to section headers or they lose some of the object stylings. When I open the ID file they have been changed in the file as well. I had the good sense to save as an idml before the export, after the first time this arose, and those appear to be unaffected.But how do I give my client a proof???? I know it's Friday and late, but I committed to working the weekend and hoping someone can help!Working with ID 2018, the last upgrade I could do on my 2011 Mac. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have a wine list menu in InDesign, and another person on our team wants to be able to add notes regarding inventory/stock, but obviously not print those notes for when we distribute to customers. Is there a way we can do that without having to have two versions? I thought about duplicating pages, and then hiding them, but I'm not sure how that would work. Or is there a way to create two copies, but the copy updates based on changes to the main file?
