InDesign

Hello, I'm experiening what I think is a dead pixel on my screen between macbook and apple display when using InDesign. It doesn't happen all the time. It's not a "having too many files open" or a memory thing (I believe. All apps are updated, etc. My apple display in June 2025 new and macbook is 2023.  

I´m the secretary in a non-profit association. We have since 2010 been using Indesign CS5 for making a christian gratis magazine. We bought it as a compact disc. We have been using the application on two computers. Recently one of us, myself, bought a new Lap Top. Before I decided to buy the Lap Top, I had two Lap Tops for trial. In both those Lap Tops I installed our CS5 and also in the one which I finally bought.    Unfortunately I didn´t inactivate the CS5 in both of those Lap Tops I had for trial. That´s why we can´t activate our CS5 in our new Lap Top. When I print the serial number the application answers that ”this serial number has already been activated on two computers”.    The mistake we did was that we forgot to inactivate the application in both of the Lap Tops I had for trial. The applications were uninstalled but not inactivated on both of the computers. I went to the  compter store and together with the salesperson we could instal

I've got a number of scripts in my C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 20.0\en_GB\Scripts\Scripts Panel  folder. Yup, using Windows.  These can be accessed within InDesign from theScripts menu. So far so good. However, it doesn't seem to show files that start with an underscore like  _Gwen_Stefani.jsx Whatcha got against Gwen, huh Adobe? Or is this another overlooked feature?  

Bonjour,Je réalise un rapport annuel et j'aimerais que les chiffres soient non seulement alignés sur le point (p.ex. 4 358.12) mais également par rapport aux centaines, milliers, millions (en fait que l'espace entre centaines et milliers soit toujours aligné, pour toutes les lignes et qu'il facilite la lecture, p.ex. les millions sont clairement dans leur colonne).Merci d'avance de vos réponses

Problem DescriptionI've discovered that InDesign GREP behaves differently from standard regex engines when using the OR operator (|) combined with anchors (^ and $). This seems to be an undocumented behavior that differs significantly from what most regex documentation would suggest.Test CasesTest Case 1: ^ab|cText: ab ac bc Expected (standard regex): Matches "ab" at line start AND "c" anywhere Actual InDesign result: Only matches "ab" at line startTest Case 2: ^a|bcText: ab ac bc Expected (standard regex): Matches "a" at line start AND "bc" anywhere Actual InDesign result: Only matches "a" at line startTest Case 3: (^a)|bcText: ab ac bc Expected (standard regex): Matches "a" at line start AND "bc" anywhere Actual InDesign result: Still only matches "a" at line startTest Case 4: (a$)|bcText: ab ac bca Expected (standard regex): Matches "a" at line end AND "bc" anywhere Actual InDesign result: Only matches "bc" (ignores the anchor completely)ObservationsInDesign GREP appears to interpre

Hello community,since my laptop was updated to Windows 11 by our IT department, I’ve noticed two annoying changes in Adobe InDesign: Display Performance is now always set to High Quality when I open any document. Previously, it used to default to Typical (or Normal), which worked better for my not-so-powerful laptop. I have to manually switch it back every time. The View > GPU Performance setting always reverts to CPU. That’s understandable, since my GPU can’t handle it well—but again, I have to set it manually each time. Is there a way to set Display Performance to Typical and force CPU Preview as the default for all documents? Thanks in advance!

Ciao a tutti!Sto riscontrando un problema con InDesign che prima non avevo. Quando impaginavo un libro, mi bastava incollare un testo lungo in un box, e automaticamente InDesign creava da solo le pagine successive, facendo apparire tutto il testo nel documento.Ora questa funzione sembra non essere più attiva: incollando un testo lungo, il programma non crea più automaticamente le nuove pagine e il testo resta tronco.Qualcuno sa dirmi se c'è un'impostazione da riattivare o se è cambiato qualcosa con gli ultimi aggiornamenti?Grazie in anticipo!

We have downloaded Indesign to two Desktops. The second was for a colleague under his email address who has left the company. How do I access those files? I pay the monthly account. Help anybody!

I want to find these overflow text boxes, and then keep the width of the text box constant, increase the height and expand the text. A small amount here means cases where the overflow is only a few lines (ex: 6 lines).Expand only on current page.Ignore those cases where you need to increase the page to expand them. Thank you very much.Found this written by jb_alvarado:Can it be modified to only expand on the current page? var storyTitle = "Hello I'm a title!" var myDocument = app.documents.item(0); var myDoc = app.activeDocument; var myFrames = app.selection[0].parent; var myIndexStart = app.selection[0].parentTextFrames[0].index; while (myFrames.overflows === true) { var myNewPage = myDoc.pages.add(); myNewPage.appliedMaster = myDoc.masterSpreads.item("A-Text"); // add Page header myTitleFrame = myNewPage.textFrames.add(); myTitleFrame.contents = storyTitle; myTitleFrame.geometricBounds = ["0mm", "0mm", "4.98mm", "148mm"];  Perhaps,

Hallo zusammen, ist es korrekt, dass ältere Versionen von InDesign nicht mehr als Download verfügbar sind? Ich habe ältere Dokumente, die mit PostScript-Schriften erstellt sind. Dazu bräuchte ich meines Wissens InDesign 2022 oder älter, doch wo bekomme ich die her?

To be precise, they look like they are cycling from "RGB Color Preview" to "CMYK Color Preview", about once per second, as if to indicate that some colors will fall outside the print gamut. But I cannot find any documentation of this "feature"? It is enormously distracting — in fact, it would problaby cause problems for epilepsy patients.Holding down the cursor over the image makes it pause. But as soon as the cursor moves off the page, it starts flashing again. InDesign 20.3.1Mac Studio M2MacOS Sequoia 15.5

Hi I am trying to put photos into my EPUB and have several times got ¾ the way through placing and anchoring the photos. But when I make small changes in one part of the document, most of the photos throughout the document misalign. It’s a 140 page book and I’m on my third attempt from scratch of getting ¾ the way through. Tomorrow will be day 4. Here’s what I’m doing if you can help me figure out where I am going wrong. I apply a paragraph style to the paragraph before the photo, with 0.7 in space after the para.  Then I press enter after the final word in that para then file place the photo. I drag the photo to the size I want then select jump object. I anchor the photo to the last word of the para before.Then under the photo I type a caption and apply my caption style, which has 0.5 in space before and 0.5 in space after. But here's an example of what’s happening. The photos are sitting between two pages.  

Hi! I'm wondering if anyone can help with what I imagine is a "settings" type issue. I am trying to print really basic stuff. Like, basic fonts and vector images in black and white. When I try to print from Illustrator and InDesign, the images and text appear as tiny printed black dots (or, with thicker type, just super jagged edges). Like, it prints like a crappy rendering of the fonts and images. Zooming in on the computer screen, it's all crisp, even when something the size of a 12-pt period, zoomed in to the size of my head. So, I do know what a vector is and that it's not a poor resultion image that can't be blown up. The same fonts print beautifully from Microsoft Word, etc. I'm attaching an image of a photo of a couple sentences that I printed in black and white (sorry I have whack lighting; it's just black toner on white paper). The sentences on the computer screen look normal. I'm using a super basic printer--a Brother black and white laser printe

Numbering was no problem for my 350-page book but then I tried adding Roman Numerals to the opening pages. What I ended up with are no RNs appearing on the opening pages but they do appear as numbers in Pages. But none of the RNs appear on the actual pages, only in Pages. Here's a screenshot Now that the sequencing is all out of whack, can't return to reassign Page 1 to what has become Page XV. How can I manage this mess? 

When I go to open my Indesign or After Effects the application just bounces on my screen and does nothing, unresponsive. I have installed and reinstalled while also deleting the previous preferences. I have also ran my Disk Utility to look for issues and can't find a solution. 

Dear community,  In InDesign 20.4.1 on Sequoia 15.5, installed plugins (Creative Cloud tells they are installed) don't show up in the Plugins Panel. That panel only says Get started by installing … Discover Plugins. What am I missing here? Thanks!

I have setup page numbering to be lowercase Roman numerals, but are being displayed capitalized:How might I get the lower case dispay? 

For example, there are multiple lines.Like this, Can I only hit a space to center it?alert("         Note that \n         ●●●\n you have chosen nothing").Thank you very much. 

Got a weird one. Suddenly inDesign (and inCopy) are splitting a font that I've used regularly in the past into pieces, rendering them unusable. Minion Variable Concept, which originally just had Regular, Italic, etc. options. now has a slew of "Text-9.500" etc. options, each relating to a different font size. See attached—screenshots are from inCopy, but inDesign shows the same thing. So now when I open a file that uses these, all these "Text-10.000" etc. fonts are missing.  My designer is using the same version of inDesign and the same fonts (he re-sent me the font files, just to confirm) and has no issues. Weirder, if I open an old .indd from a project three months ago, which worked perfectly at the time, I get the same font errors. Even worse: This seems to be making both inDesign and inCopy crash.  I've reinstalled both inCopy and inDesign multiple times, reinstalled the font, tried multiple different files, etc. No luck. macOS 15.5, tried it in inDesign 20.4.1

since the update to 19.2, items in the cc libraries are being shown as just a grey box and are marked as missing

InDesign has always had a fraught relationship with metadata, whether for the active document or for its linked documents. File Info can help, but it can be challenging to inspect or modify properties from namespaces outside of what FileInfo already knows. What if there was a better way?   Enter the free Custom Metadata Panel, which is like nitro fuel for metadata. It is available for Bridge, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Photoshop (Intel or Rosetta2), and now... InDesign.      The Custom Metadata Panel provides Enterprises and individuals with a way to focus their attention on critical metadata in one panel. The panel is completely customizable and helps users tune their metadata view for maximum accuracy and efficiency. With many form field types and available metadata presets, it expands the metadata capabilities of Creative Cloud Desktop applications without using XML or special coding.   It includes tabs for many common metadata schemas, such as IPTC, PLUS,

Hi everyone,I'm using InDesign 2025 and trying to embed audio in an interactive PDF. I’ve followed the standard steps:Added MP3 files to the Media panel, following Adobe’s guidelines.Created a button, set the action to "Sound", and linked it to the appropriate MP3 file.Exported the document as an Adobe PDF (Interactive) with "Include all forms and media" checked.The result:The button appears as expected in the PDF (the cursor changes to a hand on hover), but nothing happens when I click it—the audio doesn't play. There’s no error message, just no response.Has anyone run into this issue or have tips on how to troubleshoot it?https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:EU:556d3070-641a-4a89-949c-75ab46b9837f Thanks in advance!

I saw a script here.https://github.com/gsingelmann/indd_autocolumn/tree/master  The author (Gerald Singelmann) seems to have set "en" "de" "it" three languages, is it possible to automatically choose to display the appropriate language interface according to different windows systems.I tried to add cn and nothing seems to change anything.var sAutoColumn = { en: "AutoColumn2...", de: "AutoSpalte2...", it: "AutoColumn2..."} if (app.selection.length) { app.doScript(autoSpalte, undefined, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, localize(sAutoColumn)); }
