InDesign

I have some locally installed fonts which InDesign still keeps downloading and trying to install which I want to stop. Some of them then get the "can't install due to a conflict" but they still get downloaded and others get installed. I do have the "Auto add Adobe Fonts" in preferences->File Handling deactivated already. I narrowed down the issue but don't know how to fix it. The fonts this is happening to are the ones which I originally (intentionally) activated through Adobe fonts but later uninstalled and installed the font locally. If I open a document with that font in it and then go to 'Type -> Find/Replace Font' and then click on the font in question, I can see that under 'Path' it says 'Added from Adobe Fonts' despite it now being installed locally.  So, how can I make InDesign "forget" that it initially used the Adobe Fonts version and stop InDesign from downloading the font despite having a local version and 'Auto add' disabled? I suspect it might ha

Since the update, fonts are not managed correctly in Indesign 2025. Indesign doesn't recognize the fonts in my documents, and doesn't list the fonts that are already activated in Adobe fonts or elsewhere. The list that does exist is tiny with basic fonts. Is there a way to reintialise the font manager ? In the meantime I have to work in Indesign 2024 if I need to manipulate fonts! Thanks for any help or feedback 🙂

One minute it says it's not preceded by an object, the next it says it's not a function.Sometimes I really don't know what I'm getting, mostly guessing ......  function reLink() { link.reinitLink(encodeURI(lst[ppJ])); link.update(); app.activeDocument.links.everyItem().update(); } I have defined the Link, who is the subject of my update()?var link = selectedFrame.images[0].itemLink; 

I am trying to make Text Frame 2 resize base on the placement of Text Frame 1. Text Frame 1 is set to auto size downwards based on the text. Beneath it, I want Text Frame 2 to also shift downwards relatively based on the placement of Text Frame 1. So if Text Frame 1 needs to go down another line (which ends up being, say, 20 pixels) Text Frame 2 also shifts down another line (so another 20 pixels). Or perhaps another way of thinking about it is I want these text frames to always be relatively spaced from each other. This feels like a very simple problem, but I must be using the wrong terms to find the results I'm looking for, because the only info I can find is how to use auto size, which I think doesn't help me here.

Recently I've noticed that jpeg files I've been exporting from Indesign have been absolutely massive (over 8mbs). This is after I've chosen medium quality 150 ppi resolution. What's odd is that the same file a few months ago exported at 1 mb with the same settings. Has Indesign changed something?

Hi, I'm using Fogra 51 ICC profile in my Indesign, everything is correct while exporting but after a while, when I was possibly able to find where to find the info about ICC in PDF, I found only „DeviceCMYK“. Why I can't see PSO Coated over there, as it is done from INDD by export? („Barevny prostor“ means „color space“). Thank you for any possible explanation.

Is it permissible in ID for text anchors to overlap? For example, if I have a piece of text that reads Brown v. Board of Education, can "Brown" be a text anchor and "Brown v. Board of Education" be another, or will that mess ID up. Thanks.

Did it fix the epub code export problem? ... among other things?

 Bonjour,On vient de m'indiquer des problèmes de lecture de QR codes générés dans Indesign à partir de mobiles samsung tandis qu'il n'y a jamais de problème de lecture avec des Iphones.Je suis extrêmement surprise. Je me permets donc de soumettre cette remarque afin de m'assurer de sa véracité. Si tel est le cas, ce qui serait très étrange, y a t il un moyen de rendre le qr code parfaitement compatible ? d'avance merci pour vos réponses. Bien cordialementValérie

HI All, In my workflow we are using http cookie based mechanism for authentication like sending after successfull login browser set a JSESSIONID in set-cookie header and for subsequent request it send cookie header with JSESSIONID for authenticate.Now after updating version to InDesign 20.4 version the above mechanism stop to work and return 401 unauthorized error for subsequent request. we found that after update InDesign in built browser no longer send this cookie in request header.I also try to add following config param in my manifest but won't workPlease let me know how I could fix this issue.<CEFCommandLine><Parameter>--disable-features=SameSiteByDefaultCookies,CookiesWithoutSameSiteMustBeSecure,NetworkService</Parameter><Parameter>--disable-site-isolation-trials</Parameter><Parameter>--enable-nodejs</Parameter><Parameter>--mixed-context</Parameter></CEFCommandLine>

Hello!I use a lot of cross-refs which consist of a chapter number and some text, separated by a space and everything enclosed in quotation marks. Example: "1.1 This is an example"I made a GREP to find them:  (")(\d+.+?) (.+?)(")For some reason, using the placeholders for left and right double quotation marks doesn't work in my document, but in another, so I used the "any" placeholder. So far, this GREP finds all cross-refs. However, it's supposed to stop at the end, at the right double quotation mark that encloses the cross-ref.Some of the headlines the cross-refs are made from also contain their own quotation marks, so that some of the cross-refs turn out as: "1.1 This is "another" example" What happens when using the GREP? It would stop at the first right quotation mark. I have tried a lot, but I cannot find the correct extension for my GREP, to sort of skip both or all of the inner quotation marks.  Anyone has a solution, other than to replace the

Is it not possible to export a script with a JSXBIN extension if there is more than one engine in it?

I have an illustrator logo file that is just black and I am placing it in InDesign as an art file. I have set the ink color in Illustrator to 100% K with no C, M, or Y ink because there are fine lines and details that should not be produced with a 4-color black. The problem is that when I place the file in InDesign and produce a print-ready PDF, the file becomes a 4-color black and I can't figure out how stop it from changing to 4-color. The file gets flagged when I do a preflight check because of the fine lines with 4 colors. Does anyone have any insight on how to fix this? I never had this issue in the past so I'm assuming it's some kind of setting or new feature that changed during a recent update.

I want to create new style with some settings like color. if (!app.documents[0].characterStyles.item(columnAchaStn).isValid) { app.documents[0].characterStyles.add({ name: columnAchaStn }); } 

I'm having trouble opening Adobe InDesign 2022. When the program stops opening at this window "Starting up Service Registry..." and doesn't continue,

I want to replace it with another format under the original path.Can these three be combined into a drop down list, for dialog boxes I always find it not so easy.var selectedFrame = app.selection[0]; var link = selectedFrame.images[0].itemLink; var linkPsd = link.linkResourceURI.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '.PSD'); var linkTif = link.linkResourceURI.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '.TIF'); var linkJpg = link.linkResourceURI.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '.JPG'); link.reinitLink(linkURI); 

I have an INDB file im trying to make with about 100-INDD files, WHen i open any one INDD file its all fine and everything looks good. WHen i go to make the INDB file for this book the INDB file end up shifting elements everywhere and messes-up the layout and formatting for the whole book. Elements from the right pages are on left side and vice-versa. THe book is in order in groups of 4 so i know its not a numbering issue.   

I am importing PSD files with multiple artboards. In IMPORT OPTIONS they appear as layers and I can turn them on/off (choose to import them or not) BUT regardless the image box is the entire size of all the artboards put together. I wonder if any one knows if you can import a single artboard from a PSD and have the image box in InDesign open to the proportion of that single artboard?Anyone?thanks Debbie 

Hi @rob day The panel is still a bit difficult for me to really figure out.I want to select my target character style from a dropdown list,and I don't know how to build the panel and get the selected character style.Thank you very much.app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item(mySeleChaStyle); 

What is the method to search for a certain character style (such as Character Style AAA), identify its A, B, or C columns in two (or three) columns, and then apply Character Style A, Character Style B, and Character Style C respectively The manual workload is too heavy, help~ please Thank you. 

I'm working with an InDesign document containing links to text anchors within the same document. The links look fine in the InDesign Hyperlinks panel, with correct sources connecting to correct destinations. When exported to EPUB, the links translated into HTML all work fine. But when exported to PDF, they almost all fail, even though Acrobat seems to recognize them as legitimate links. A colleague and I have been tying ourselves in knots over this for a week. We are both experienced InDesign users whose livelihoods depend on working links! 

For example, my script name has two cases:Rename Links with Caption behind 【@】 characters.jsxRename Links with Caption behind 【】characters.jsx The key character of the first one is @, the second one is emptyNow I want to get the characters between【】.If there is content in 【】, get it, if  it is empty, get empty(""). Thank you very much.

But I just want to modify the content after @, @ and its previous numbers remain unchanged.For example, this is the end:P040-001@Great Village Mango BaseThank you very much ~ /* Links Rename Selected Copyright 2023 William Campbell All Rights Reserved https://www.marspremedia.com/contact Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted.

I am absolutely furious with Adobe support for misleading me. I have recently retired after using Adobe products and paying for them outright and then through subscription for decades (back to Pagemaker in 1989). When I chatted with TWO support people about my subscription and needing to cancel it (INDD, PS, AI, ACROBAT), they both assured me.... and I asked multiple times.... that I would still be able to open and work with my old files if the companies that I sold my company to at retirement needed my help with anything. Here I am today, trying to open a file using INDD that still resides on my hard drive, and every time I try to open it, I get the window saying I need to pay for a plan. When I close that window, the file window that I just tried to open, closes down. I sold my design firm to two other firms based on location (northern US clients went to one company, southern clients to another) with the understanding that I could troubleshoot any issues they might have with fil
