InDesign

Hello!I have latest InDesign as a subscriber to Adobe cloud.Every time I try to use shortcuts to get bold or italic text InDesign switches to direct selection mode (because I press CMD button in Shift+Cmd+B or I).Tried to create custom keyboard shortcuts – it does not work. InDesign still treats Cmd key as a switch to direct selection tool.Tried to clear preferences – it did not help.Checked other fonts – the same problem presits, so it's not the improper font installation without bold or italic versions.Am I missing something?

Bonjour,Est-ce possible de comparer des fichiers Indesign, comme le fait 'normalement' Adobe Acrobat pour les PDF?En vous remerciant,Liza

 We're encountering an issue when creating more than 100 rollover buttons on a single page—some of the rollovers stop functioning correctly. I've thoroughly reviewed the actions multiple times, but the problem persists.Export setting - Used Bydefault iPDF export setting  Thanks in Advance!

Changing smallcaps % (default is 70%) using ^K (Advanced type) doesn't have any effect on the size of the smallcaps. If I can get on this.

Hello allCan someone please help me. I have designed a book that is now also published in Tamil. The layout works fine with the font „Baamini“. But now I have been asked to layout everything in a Unicode font (e.g. „Latha“ or „Noto Sans Tamil“). Unfortunately, Baamini is not a Unicode font and I simply cannot manage to install the two fonts „Latha“ or „Noto Sans Tamil“ correctly. Only (pink) rectangles or latin letters appear (see screenshots).Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? I would be very grateful for any helpful tips.Barbara

Hi everyone, I just noticed that there seems to be no discussion of the View menu > Overprint Preview anywhere in the help system.  It is not mentioned here: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/overprinting.html Seems like it would be and should be?

I have a document with several sections.  Each section is my own notes on several different books I am studying.  As I study more of each text, I add my notes to the end of each section.  However, when the text reflows, instead of adding another page to the end of the section 'Book1:' the text flows onto the first page of the section 'Books:'How do I get the document to add a new page to the end of the section I am writing in when I need more space in that section?I have selected EDIT>PREFERENCES>TYPE>SMART TEXT REFLOW>ADD PAGES TO END OF SECTION Thanks!

I am experiencing an issue with Adobe InDesign when exporting documents to JPEG format.Lines appear on the images, as if the photos are being "sliced" or "cut."I have tried the following troubleshooting steps without success:– Changing the resolution of the images individually– Adjusting the export resolution settings in InDesign– Modifying other export and display settingsDespite these efforts, the issue persists. Interestingly, when the same file is exported on another computer, it works correctly, and no lines appear.This problem occurs with all my InDesign files on my system.Could you please help me identify what might be causing this and how to resolve it? I have already searched online for solutions, but none have worked so far.Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I’m exporting an InDesign document to EPUB (reflowable), but the paragraph formatting (like spacing, alignment, and indents) isn’t showing correctly in the final file. I’ve applied paragraph styles consistently. Is there a setting I’m missing or a better way to preserve formatting during EPUB export?

In the past few days, a stationary phantom box has appeared on every document, both old and new.  I can't find any way to get rid of it.

Has anyone figured out how to use a script to convert cross-row data to table header rows?  

I inherited from kRollOverIconPushButtonBoss because I wanted to customize the appearance of the button. So, I overrode the IID_ICONTROLVIEW interface and implemented the Draw() function like this:class MyButtonView : public DVControlView { public: MyButtonView(IPMUnknown* boss); virtual ~MyButtonView(); virtual void Draw(IViewPort* viewPort, SysRgn updateRgn = nil); };Everything works fine — I successfully implemented a custom-drawn button appearance.However, the button click event stopped working.I had to explicitly re-implement IID_IEVENTHANDLER for the button to respond to clicks again.So my question is: why is this the case?If I re-implement IID_ICONTROLVIEW, do I also have to re-implement IID_IEVENTHANDLER for the button to function properly?

We are finding occasionally that when you copy an item to paste elsewhere (either in the same doc or another) that instead of replicating the item you get a pseudo screengrab. It looks just like the item you have copied, but is just a screengrab, and a screengrab with no link at allSo I copied this(all vector) and it returned thisI am a very experienced Indesgner, having used it since ID2 (and have trained others in it) and I have never experienced this or know why it is happening – so reaching out the the community. I assume it is an issue with ID20, but be curious to learn if others are getting this phenomena or what could be causing it? 

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

Hello everyone,I have a project of multi-brand manuals (one manual each), however, I have being duplicating books and its respective chapters (indds) for a new brand. I am now organizing a common strutucture that all the brands use and pull these indds in the respective book of that brand. But by doing this, all the information of the foot are not correct with the dedicated chapters, meaning page/date and brandname. I have made this change so the maintaince of the manuals specially in the common structure would be 1-time thing across 9 brands instead, 1 each manual and to become more productive.But how can I change the date/page and brandname without changing the common indds? Is there a way to define in the common indds or in the indb to overlap that information and put the same as the dedicated ones?Thanks for the help

Help! The hyperlink line is not showing up in the document. It does sometimes in the paragraph, but then there is another word or phrase that it does not. Any ideas why?

Hi, I've recently switched from a 27" 5K iMac to a 15" MacBook Pro with an external LG 4K display, which I'm using as my primary monitor. However I have noticed that when the zoom setting is at 100%, pages are not actual size on my 4K display like they were on my old iMac. If I move the InDesign window to my MacBook display, 100% is actual size, but on the external display it is not (a 210mm (w) page becomes ~180mm), ie. around 85.7% of actual size. I assume this is due to the difference in DPI between my built-in display and the external display, but can I resolve this issue? macOS 11.5.2 (20G95)InDesign 16.3.2

Hi All, i have a custom font made at GlyphterIt works fine for the most part in both InDesign and non-Adobe apps such as MS Word. Recently however i needed to make some changes to the glyphs in the glyph table and after updating the font in Windows 10, ensuring its correctly loaded and working correctly in MS apps, InDesign simply doesn't update the font. I can confirm the font works in InDesign, just the expected newly added glyphs are not displaying in InDesign. Instead InDesign has glyphs from a very old version of the same named custom font, indicating its using some kind of font cache and not the newly installed font in Win10. I am using the latest version of InDesign.I have already tried deleting system .DAT font caches found in the steps herebut still the problem persists. I have spoken with Adobe Support that are trying to tell me the issue is not an Adobe app issue (which it clearly is as i can verify the font works as expected in all No

I am working with the InDesign 15.0.1 and I am having trouble renaming Groups and Objects in my documents.  I have to click the Group/Object at least 5 times for the option to change the name appears.  It's extremely frustrating.  Is there a way to fix that?  Or a way to create a keyboard shortcut? Thanks!

I have a piece of text. It has footnotes, but the footnotes are not properly linked to the main text.In other words, the footnotes and the main text are separate.They may be in the same text box, though.Perhaps I need to select a uniform footnote format. Now I need to link the footnotes to the main text.I can only enter footnotes manually. Can this be done automatically with a script?

Buenos días!Estoy teniendo problemas al importar en PDF interactivo con las transiciones de página que no las hace. Estoy con la versión v20.41, actualizado hace 6 días, con un MacBook Pro, con macOS Sequoia version 15.5.Alguien me puede echa una mano.Gracias de antemano!!!

Hi @rob day What a coincidence! I actually found this. I know you've done a lot of research in this area.Here it is:https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/resize-image-script/m-p/14141572#M544801 The original post you replied to already equi-scaled fits the layout(typearea?).Could you add a version that Image equi-scaled fit to the column width? When fit to  typearea, align X and Y to the upper left corner.When fit to column width, align X to the left and leave Y unchanged. Please forgive me for posting this separately, as I would like to add some new information.For example, determining whether the current selection is a text box or an image.Thank you very much. However, I found that the original post was not scaled.Its width fits the layout, and the frame fits the content. Actually, the cropped content should not be released.But it doesn't matter, as it is irrelevant to the initial layout.At least there is hope.

Hi all,I have recently came across an annoying error. I have somehow switched on a setting which alters the "Shift + X" setting in my Indesign. When typying and pressing "x" nothing appears but my text fill automatically switches to red. the rest of the letters continue as normal. When pressing "Shift + X" I am able to type in capital "X" letter.It is almost as if the shortcuts themselves have been swopped? Not sure how I have accidentally switched this on. Thank you in advance.  

Imagina que tienes un bloque de código HTML muy largo que ocupa varias páginas en InDesign. Cada vez que el texto “salta” de una página a la siguiente, quieres que aparezcan dos palabritas mágicas:← Continuación del código anterior al final de la página que se quedó “colgada”El código continúa en la página siguiente → al principio de la página nuevaPara lograrlo con un script en JavaScript (ExtendScript) para InDesign:Limpiar primero cualquier etiqueta vieja (por si ya habías corrido el script antes).Recorrer cada historia de texto y cada par de párrafos consecutivos.Detectar cuándo esos dos párrafos están en páginas distintas.Insertar justo después del último carácter de la primera página el textocssCopiarEditar← Continuación del código anterior(con un retorno para separarlo).Insertar justo antes del primer carácter de la siguiente página el textocssCopiarEditarEl código continúa en la página siguiente →Aplicar a cada uno su estilo de párrafo (“Etiquetacontinuacion” y “Etiquetacontinu
