InDesign

Hi adobe brain trust, For years I've been using the "show import options" check box on the 'Place' command to insert all pages of a PDF, or just a few select pages into empty frames. When I select either "All" or "Range" the dialog accepts that option - and in the past I've been able to place all the pages in rapid succession, in frames that have already been set up. Recently I am only able to place the first page in that range and then the command aborts. The command DOES still work, if I click anyone outside a frame.  I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue, or it's just me? Either way, does anyone have insight?   Thanks!   

I'm having a problem re-activating my copy of Adobe Indesign CS3 following a move to another PC; getting the "no connection" message.I had an on-line chat with support who directed me to a link whereby I could get a new serial no. and a new download of InDesign CS3.I was told to uninstall my current copy, then reinstall using my new download and new serial no., after which I could activate.I did all this but when it came to installing, there was no option to use my new serial no. Instead, on launching, it went straight to the activation screen telling me I now have four days left to activate!The telephone option doesn't work any more but I checked there and noted my old serial no. is still there which seems to indicate it is permanently stored somewhere in the registry?Any advice on how I can get round this problem, please?

For more than a week, InDesign has been stuck on startup, either on “Calling Late Initializers” or, at other times, “Starting Panels.” I have to force quit every time. I'm on the latest version, 20.4.1, running on a MacBook M3 Pro with macOS Sequoia 15.5.I’ve tried everything I could find online:Resetting preferences at startupResetting all fonts, removing fonts, removing any Adobe fontClean installs, older installs, reinstalling Creative Cloud, even using Adobe Cleaner to remove everythingStarting up in root user, starting up in another Mac user account, startup in safe modeEmptying every cache I could think ofRunning First Aid via Disk UtilityTried talking to adobe support 'We look forward to helping you during our open hours.'How is it possible that software essential to so many graphic designers simply stops working?I run a graphic design business, this has a huge impact on client work. I have print and magazine files that I can’t even open, let alone edit or render out. At the ver

Seit heute habe ichein kurioses Problem: Farbige Schriften werden bei Export in PDF (egal welche Version) plötzlich schwarz. Das ist sowohl bei 19.5 als auch bei ID 20.4.Ich arbeite auf einem Macbook Pro (M2) auf Ventura.Das Problem besteht, seit dem ich ID von 19.4 auf 19.5 geupdatet habe.Hat jemand irgendeine Idee, woran es liegen kann?Lösen kann ich es, in dem ich die Schriften in Pfade umwandle, was aber bei einem 60-Seiter unpraktisch ist.Es ist auch egal, ob zur Probe eine Schrift auf A4 oder Auszug aus dem 60-Seiter.

'm working on a multi-page brochure in InDesign and keep seeing the red plus sign indicating text overflow. I’ve tried adjusting the text box size, but it’s not solving the issue efficiently. What’s the best way to handle overset text without compromising layout or reducing font size too much?

A publisher-provided MSWord manuscript used auto-lettered and numbered paragraphs, but after importing and applying paragraph styles in InDesign then exporting to EPUB, spacing is wonky in the paragraphs with roman numerals and letters. Below is InDesign page then the same Sigil page. I tried revising CSS but not sure I'm choosing the correct code to change.   

I'm encountering an issue with Arabic diacritics in Adobe InDesign. While working on Arabic text, I noticed that one of the diacritics is not positioned correctly in InDesign, though it appears perfectly in Microsoft Word. I've tried adjusting the font and settings, but the problem persists only in InDesign.Has anyone faced a similar issue or knows how to resolve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Como puedo convertir en InDesign el negro de cutricomia a tinta plana, pues la imprenta me dice que el Negro registro es una cuatricomia. 

Hallo zusammen, ich habe zum ertsen Mal ein merkwürdiges Phänomen entdeckt.Beim Export aus InDesign (20.4.1) in ein interaktives PDF wird unter einem Trennstrich ein Punkt dargestellt. Dieser ist aber nicht im Original. Kennt jemand diesen Fehler und wie ist er zu beheben?DankeCarsten

how can I get the 1/3 to appear as the 1/2 which was entered as a glyph?? 

Most of the time when trying to save an exisiting file, InDesign instead tries to Save As. The file name appears greyed out and can't be selected, and when trying to save the document with the same name the following error appears.  This only seems to happen when saving to a network shared drive, as I cannot replicate the issue when saving the machine. We have checked file permissions and cannot see any issue there, there is also the fact it will sometimes save the file without this issue. I have noticed a .idlk file appears in the folder when it prompts to save as. InDesign 2025, MacOS 15.5  

Hi, I'm currently using the below indesign script to export named JPGS of each page. To work the script requires a text box with the filename on each page all linked by a common paragraph style. The script works perfectly to export JPGS, however I've been unable scucessfully adapt it to export EPS. Can anyone help? - if (app.documents.length != 0){var myDoc = app.activeDocument;MakeJPEGfile();} else {alert("Please open a document and try again.");}function myPS() {try {return myDoc.selection[0].appliedParagraphStyle;} catch (e) {alert("Place cursor to text with paragraph style for filenames");exit();}}function MakeJPEGfile() {app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.high;app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 300;app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.exportRange;app.findGrepPreferences = null;app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = myPS();var f = myDoc.findGrep();for (var myCounter = 0; myCounter < f.length; myCou

Hi all, I need to fetch an image file via network request and then insert that file into an inDesign document. I think I know how to do the insertion, but I'm having trouble establishing the file in the script. Due to the locked down nature of UXP file system access, I'm first opening (i.e. creating) a file and then attempting to write the image binary to it. It seems to complete without error, but the output file png is not opening an image and is considered an unsupported type by the operating system. Any tips would be appreciated! async function fetchJson(url) { return fetch(url) .then((response) => { return response; }); } var response = await fetchJson("http link to image src file"); const imageBlob = await response.blob() const fs = require("uxp").storage.localFileSystem; const fileToWrite = await fs.getFileForSaving("output.png"); fileToWrite.write(imageBlob.arrayBuffer());

Hello All, I need to anchor an object to a 2-column text frame so that the object appears to the left of the left column or to the right of the right column depending on which column the anchor is in? And if the anchor is moved to a different column when editing the text, the anchored object moves to the correct location. Is it possible to do this using a single object style? The image shows a sample layout that I want to get. Thanks!

I would like to exclude the "target cell" from being an footerRow.Isn't this "parentRows" a table row?myTable.columns.item(i).cells.item(j).parentRows.rowType !== RowTypes.FOOTER_ROWError: parentRows does not support the rowType property or method. var cell = app.activeDocument.selection[0].parent; var myTable = cell.parent; var myFooterRow = myTable.rows[-1]; for (var i = 0; i < myTable.columns.length; i++) { for (var j = 0; j < myTable.columns.item(i).cells.length; j++) { if ((myTable.columns.item(i).cells.item(j).contents == "") && (myTable.columns.item(i).cells.item(j).parentRows.rowType !== RowTypes.FOOTER_ROW) 

Every time I quit ID (purposely) I get a popup saying it quit unexpectedly.I mean, it may have not been anticipating that I was closing it, but still.... 😉Any known reasons for this?

I'm using an InDesign template, running InDesign 2020. I'm adding a new text block to the project. Everything functions normally until I try to change the text to white. Then I get a blue background, like the highlighting function in Word. I can't find this under any of my text block panel settings. When I switch back to black text, it's transparent again. As you can see, it's not filling the whole block either.  I've searched other community questions and can't find anything about this particular issue. It's not a missing font, either. This is Minion Pro, and it's the same story for any other font I switch to. 

Apologies if this is already posted, couldn't find it but struggled to think of exact search terms that might work.I'm looking to create a striped text effect, like the title font for Netflix's Maniac (below).The best way I can think to achieve this is in Photoshop as an image/path but I'm really keen to keep it in an Indesign text box so that it's easy to edit. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm using InDesign CC 2015. I am having issues scaling tables.In previous versions of InDesign, I have scaled tables in two ways:The first and the one I use most often... I'd select the table (i.e. the text box which the table is inside) using the Selection Tool, hold Command + Shift keys while dragging the corner and the table will scale in proportion to the desired size I'd like.The second method... I'd select the table (i.e. the text box which the table is inside) using the Selection Tool, while still selected, change to the Scale Tool and double click the Scale Tool icon in the Tool palette to bring up the Scale palette... here I would input the percentage I'd like to scale the table and the table will scale in proportion to the desired size.When I do any of the above two methods using InDesign CC 2015, NO SCALING happens.I've found a work around by exporting the file to .idml opening the .idml in an older version of InDesign, scaling the table(s), saving the file, and opening the

How do I change the default fill and stroke color for newly created shapes with a script? That is to say, the colors that are applied when I draw a shape with the shape tool, not any existing shapes. Thanks!

Dear Adobe,I'm working on a book project, and need to insert pictures which flow with the text. You have Anchored Objects to facilitate this. But the functionality of Anchored Objects is horribly designed and poorly implemented and makes laying out books nearly impossible. This is unacceptable. I inserted many pictures in relation to the text. I add text wrap and corner rounding styles. I have to adjust some text or add a picture in the text preceding it, and the text flows around the subsequent images, making them now positioned in the wrong area of text. To address this problem I research online and find out about Anchored Objects. I can't right-click on my already placed pictures and create anchored objects out of them. NO that would be GOOD design! Why would you do THAT? I have to now create new Anchored Objects. So I select my picture and go to Object/Anchored Objects, and all options are greyed out. Why? I have to have nothing selected. So I deselect all objects, r

Is Intel Core i5-12450H compatible for InDesign?

inexplicable relationship.When you unmerge cells, the font of the rows suddenly gets bigger.When you add new rows, the font of the rows suddenly gets bigger too. I researched this for a long time and realized that the preference option appeared.These rows establish a relationship with the aa character style, and it's a bit creepy how they do it ......
