InDesign

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 ......

I'm looking for a variable data printing (VDP) plug-in or software that works directly and seamlessly with Adobe InDesign. Can anyone here on this Community Support page point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

Bonjour, Dans le cadre du travail, je dois créer des "fiches projets" maquettées, avec textes (mis en forme en titres, paragraphes... avec des styles de paragraphe) et images. Les images ne sont pas censées bouger, en revanche les textes évoluent en fonction de l'avancée des projets concernés, sachant que ces fiches projets doivent être mises à jour par des opérationnels qui ne maîtrisent pas InDesign... J'ai fait des tests de mise à jour automatique du fichier, en important le texte depuis des fichiers excel ou word, mais je perds systématiquement la mise en forme du texte. Existe-t-il une possibilité d'avoir cette mise à jour automatique des textes de ces fichiers, sans perdre leur mise en forme ? Merci d'avance et bonne journée

After importing from Word, I often find myself with an unneeded style that InDesign thinks is in use somewhere. I try deleting it, and it asks what style to replace it with. But since I don't know where it's applied, I don't know what to replace it with. So I have to fire up Find/Change, select the styles menu, scan through my ~100 styles and select the one to search for. Why can't we have a right-click option to "Find this style" right from the Paragraph Styles pane? We can do that for colors, why not p-styles? Is there any way to use scripting to accomplish this task faster than manually searching the F/C dialog every time? Maybe a script to add to the right click menu, or another way to search that would be faster. I'm curious if anyone else has a better idea for how I can accomplish this. Thanks! 

Hello everyone, I need to generate a price list containing thousands of references each week. I would like to automate the process with an InDesign script. My current challenge is to generate a list of products for the same category in single record template and to start a new page for the next category. Ideally, I would like to have the category name at the top of each page. Is there a script available for this or another way to proceed? Here is an example on how my excel looks like: PAGE CATCODE ITEMDESCRIPTIONMOQUNITPRICEHERBSXITAV100CHILLED ITA  ESCAROLE SALAD - insalata scarola 3.5kg/CASE KG108HERBSXITAV099CHILLED ITA ENDIVE SALAD 3-3.5KG/CASE KG120LETTUCEXITAV102CHILLED ITA RED/GREEN GENTILINA SALAD  2KG/CASE KG100  Thank you for your help

Hi, I'm trying to make a book typeset and want these four different pictures flanking my page numbers.

Syncing but unable to sync!?

ID 16.0.2In find and replace, the ability to find within a 'story' or to the 'end of story' has disappeared - meaing you have to F&R the whole document - which isnt useful! Please can you resinstate it, and let me know why it was removed? Or is this just a glitch?

Hey all, Indesign keeps desyncing my fonts, and today, it won't even resync them for me.Farnham text is a brand font that I use daily, is there a way I can keep it from ever desyncing? Sometimes it even happens when I'm in the middle of editing a document.Thanks for the help! 

Working off an NAS server; 2 large files became damaged, no issues previously, about 1.5 weeks apart. Cannot locate "recovery" folder or any files in "#recycle" folder. Changed Data Recovery folder destination (Preferences > File Handling) by creating new folder, restarted ID, rec'd same message.Of note: both files update yearly (i.e.open previous file, “save as” then info deleted/updated/etc). Both files originally created at least 7-8 years ago, possibly longer than that. Could damage/corruption be from using an old file, as opposed to copying needed info from a “fresh” ID doc? Any insight appreciated.

I created a QR code in InDesign for a client using the Business Card template and slapped it on the project and sent a proof. I was then told that the iPhone couldn't recognize it and on Android it "looked all weird". I scanned it myself from the screen and got the same results. Has this InDesign feature become obsolete or something? My phones have the latest software updates so i don't see why it can't recognize a simple vcard.... this technology has been around for over a decade.
