InDesign

My enterprise InDesign app will not launch on my new computer. It is downloaded, and from the CC control panel it says Open. When I open, it goes launch  until it reaches "Calling Late Initializers" and then up pops a crash report window saying "AdobeInDesign(64bit)" has crashed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both ID and Creative Cloud. I have checked the sync settings and there is nothing to sync (this is a new app for me.) I have rebooted the PC several times. Nothing works.

HelloI have an InDesign document in English and I need to translate it into Chinese from a Word file that will be provided to me. What is the font to use and what are the specificities to be aware of? It seems that Chinese is written vertically?If you have any information, I'm interested.P.S. I'm on Mac and have the latest version of InDesign 2025.

Hallo zusammen, ich habe ein Problem mit Broschüredruck. Beim Drucker wird „Adobe PDF“ nicht gezeigt, obwohl ich Adobe PDF installiert habe (siehe Sreenshot). Wenn ich die anderen Drucker wähle, schaut die Farbe der Druckdatei komisch aus.  Früher ging es noch, aber seit ein paar Tagen nicht mehr. Ich habe Indesign und Adobe Acrobat schon mehrmals desinstalliert und installiert habe.  

I shared a number of files for review from InDesign. The reviewer reviewd them and informed me. I am able to access two files and the comments successfully but while trying to access the link of one files I am getting error "Something Went Wrong, Go to files" error. What happens to the edits suggested by my client? Are they gone forever? I will be killed if that happens.

Sempre que abro um projeto, no indesign, para continuar um trabalho aparece o erro de fontes ausentes. Sempre preciso reiniciar o aplicativo várias vezes para ele identificar as fontes, que já possuo, que foram baixas via adobe fonts. Qualquer outra fonte adquirida por outros fornacedores funcionam perfeitamente bem. Somente as fonts do adobe aperecem esse erro. Já tentei muitas coisas, mas nada concerta esse erro. Obs: São projetos que estou trabalahdno a dias e sempre que fecho e abro novamente aparece o mesmo erro.

Avoid hyphenation at the end of a line. And I tried disabling the no hyphenation option, but it doesn't look nice. Can you help me please?

where could this line have appeared from 

Hi there. I've used a few tasty GREP expressions that the good folk of this community have helped with over the years, but I must confess I've never grasped it well enough to improvise or create my own...I'm working through a long list of text and have a line of new prices for products in a specific style (let's call it NOW price). I'd like to insert the text 'Now only' at the start of all of these rows. Previously I've added that as bullet text which works a treat on it's own row, but as soon as I place this text onto a new line that will disappear so it needs to be the actual wording 'NOW ONLY' like below.Currently (prices all differ so just an example and there are other prices in the document so I'll apply it only to the style in question):£29.99Should be:NOW ONLY £29.99

Bonjour,  J'ai un petit souci d'objet ancré.À chaque fois que j'ancre un objet (exactement un groupe d'objets), je suis obligée d'aller dans ses parametres pour le placer comme je veux. Je voudrais donc que le paramètre que je veux devienne le paramètre par défaut, mais par moyen de trouver ce genre de préférence dans les paramètres d'Indesign.... Note : Dans ce cas de figure je ne peux pas utiliser les styles d'objets, ce qui limite mes possibilités. 

Hi guys, experts, fellows I've been enjoyed scripting for some time and faced erratic behavior regarding asynchronousExportFile(). The issue :asynchronousExportFile() works usually fine but 1/10th of the time (not sure about the real ratio. just a guess) exports doesn't go through and is stuck at 0% or 99% freezes ID, cursor is spinning constantly etc. Me wondering:Is there a way to "protect" / help / do something to increase the ratio of success? As you know, regular export does prevent us to use ID when exporting. I'm dealing with dozen of files a day, regular export is just not a viable solution.Force quitting ID is annoying, as you have to open it again/ recover the files /save /quit /open again and sometimes even set up again a few things (last shortcuts, Quick-Apply reset etc.) Any thoughts on the matter?Thanks for your personal insight

I will be incorporating photo pages in a nonfiction book (print & ebook) and wonder about best practices for inserting them - individually within a layout or ganged (grouped) into a single image of the layout? Is this the same method for both print and ebook?

Bonjour,Je cherche une solution ou un tuto, pour créer des liens depuis un bloc photo dans un document indesign vers la photo choisie stockée dans ma photothèque. Ce serait pour éviter de télécharger la photo, la ranger dans mon dossier de travail et ça pour chaque proposition photo.Merci !

I installed the new Indesign 2025 and it has been unsuable (I get the spinning beach ball everytime I try to scroll). So I have gone back to 2024 but now have issues with it crashing and I lost work. Anyone else having big issues with 2024 since the update of 2025? Or anyone know how to solve the 2025 issues so it is actually usable? (I am on a Mac, Apple M1 Max chip, 64 GB memory running Sequoia 15.0.1). Thank you!      <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi. Can you please bring back previous Magnifying glass' behaviour? Or give us an option to choose new or old one? I definitely prefer to mark an area to zoom in and I assume I'm not the only one.   <Title renamed by MOD>

This is for FrameMaker, not InDesign, but it's basically a ScriptUI question. It's also somewhat related to: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/can-i-pass-arguments-to-include-script/td-p/15286930#M622092 Consider this simple code:ShowWindow1(); ShowWindow2(); function ShowWindow1(){ var w = new Window ("palette", "Window 1"); btn1 = w.add ("button", undefined, "OK"); ckbx1 = w.add("checkbox", undefined,"Check Box"); w.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel"); btn1.onClick=function(){ alert("You clicked OK on Window 1"); } w.show (); } function ShowWindow2(){ //w.close; var w = new Window ("palette", "Window 2"); btn1 = w.add ("button", undefined, "OK"); w.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel"); btn1.onClick=function(){ alert("You clicked OK on Window 2"); alert(ckbx1.value); } w.show (); }I'm having a hard time understanding the following issues:ckbx1 seems to be "global" - i

Hi, I am looking to develop a list of common reason why InDesign might crash when exporting to EPUB.Looking in the community I see that endnotes and hyperlinks might be a problem. Any other common things to look out for? I appreciate this may seem an open-ended question and some crashes may be to do with processing power and file corruption, but I am just asking for common problems outside these areas as I am not able to share the file. Here is a scenario: I am working on a lenghty ID document (600+ page plus) with images, tables, multiple fonts, bi-directional text, etc. The export to EPUB consistently crashes, even with basic export settings, seemingly after just the first few images are exported. However, previous versions of the document (backups before finalising) do not crash when exporting to EPUB. So, my hunch is that there is some small type of formatting that occurred in the last phase of the project which is causing the crash (nothing fundamenta

Is it possible to select (or delete) several objects on multiple pages or spreads at once in InDesign? And I would like to do this via the UI. I can only select objects on a given spread at most.This thread for CS3 indicates that it is not possible: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/selecting-text-frames-on-multiple-pages/m-p/1126364?page=1#M367607 My question is for CS4.Thanks.

I am using the paragraph rule to highlight the numbers in a multilevel numbered list.is there a way to ensure the numbers appear exactly in the middle of the highlight?In the screenshot you can see some numbers are off centre, some too low etc.I thought tabular lining would solve it but it didn't. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.                            

Hello folks,Why this post?I'm interested in knowing some of your experience about layout automation. Obviously the good ideas, but also the bad ones (like don't go this way, it's a waste of time) and some possible new areas to be explored.  Let's be honest, I'm not a pro at scripting, by far, but I'm eager to learn. That's a start I guess.I understand that a good scripter should not only know the coding part, but also apply the best strategy to get to his goal. I believe it's rather easy to write "some" code that works (oversimplified, I know) it's another story to "know what to write" and understand what are the best tools and the structure that should be put in place.That's why I'm asking you.  For pieces of advice, respectfully. What is my project about?I'd like to build routines and scripts to give me a hand at making layouts of books of hundreds of pages.The end game is not to have something 100% automated, but rather a tool box and a routine that can help spee

Hallo! Habe eben CC installiert und InDesign 2021 (16.4.) geladen. Ich sehe keine Arbeitsfläche, Werkzeuge oder Dokumente obwohl offensichtlich ein neues Dokument angelegt wurde. Denn beim Schließen fragt er, ob das Dokument gsichert werden soll. MacBook Pro OS 10.14.5 Mojave Wer hat eine Idee, was es sein könnte? 

I have a couple of section markers that have long titles, how do I display them on multiple lines?I've made the text box ample size and the marker text insists on squashing itself on one line.Any ideas or fixes would be appreciated.

Hello I need to paragraph sort an Indesign document with headwords written in Cree Syllabics (UTF-8). I am wondering whether there is a scripting solution? Any suggestions or help would be useful. The font in question is BJCree UNI and I have the character order I would like the program to use. For any professionals who see this - I would be happy to pay for assistance, so if you want to contact me with a quote please don't hesitate. Thanks, John

Hi,I have an issue with a fixed layout epub, my team reported back to me this error when trying to upload it. This is a first time that it has popped up and I don't know what it means. Has anyone ever had this and how can I fix it?  " PKG-026: Obfuscated resource must be a Font Core Media Type (was declared as "application/x-font-ttf" in "OEBPS/content.opf").META-INF/encryption.xml L5 META-INF/encryption.xml L23 " screenshot here : 

Hi, I'm trying to install new fonts into InDesign. It used to be an extremely simple operation, but now I can't find any button to download. Typekit or Adobe Fonts or whatever its is now only gives me an option to save fonts into libraries. The library I created for this does not show anywhere. I have managed to go into the CC desktop app to install a few of the previously saved ones but many others are nowhere to be found. I'd appreciate some help with this issue which is so frustrating given that it has certainly degraded the user experience.
