InDesign

Hello,I need help debugging a crash involving dialogues. I’ve built a plugin for CC 2026 using the C++ plugin SDK, which works fine. As a next step, I wanted to implement a dialogue box. Integrating the BasicDialog example worked well, but that wasn’t enough for me as I need tabs. So I tried to incorporate the BasicSelectableDialog example. Unfortunately, InDesign crashes on launch. The last call I can see in the crash log isCDialogObserver::AutoAttach() I’ve also tried copying all the pre-processor macros from the example project file, but that didn’t work either. Could someone please help me debug this?I’ve attached the crash report. Best regards 

This is an odd one, I double click on an indesign file, indesign and the file opens up but indesign goes to the background on my Mac, and the finder to the foreground then the Mac doc appears and stays there, I have to then click on the indesign layout to bring it to the front, the doc still stays until I click on something else on the doc then it disappears. This started when an agency sent me a brochure to work on and now it is happening with every file I open. I have searched and not found anyone with the same problem. So far I have deleted the Indesign preferences and that didn't fix it, then updated to the latest indesign and that didn't work either. Both illustrator and photoshop are working great. I would be grateful for any advice. Thank you. My set up is: Mac Studio 2023, 64GB ram, Sequoia 15.7.1, Indesign 2026.[Moved to InDesign by a moderator]

I’m preparing a museum grade gallery exhibition of several 16” x 22” framed images. The images have a 1-1/2” margin all around. My workflow is negative scans to Photoshop to InDesign then export to Acrobat PDF. I’ll be conferring with my printer who uses large commercial Canon printers (Pro 4000 and 6000) about the final settings, so I’m preparing for that interaction. I published a picture book last year with the settings used here and it came out perfect. But fine art photography is a different animal apparently.Paper: photo rag baryta paper 308 GSMGlazing: Tru Vue Museum Glass (non-reflective, UV protection)My photoshop files are saved as Embed Color Profile: Adobe RGB (1998).InDesign export format: Adobe PDF (Print).Current Preset, Compression, and Output settings: see images attached.Let me know if any further info is needed.. 

i had a window open, which apparently is a rectangle but is empty- cannot resize it, cannot click enter, cannot close aplication. and will not allow me to click anyhting else. i am on the latest version. any ideas?  

There are allOjcetStyles, but there is no 'allObject StyleGroups'.Is there any way to correct the following code so that it can recognize all situations of groups, including nested groups within groups.var creGroup = newGroup("myGroup", "objectStyleGroups");function newGroup(grn, sgc) { var d = app.activeDocument; for (var i = 0; i < d[sgc].length; i++) { if (d[sgc][i].name == grn) { return true break } } return d[sgc].add({ name: grn });} 

Hi there.I'm completely new to indesign.How do I make a folded greeting card?

Hi, I have a multilingual document created in InDesign that I need to export as an accessible PDF. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to successfully export language tags from InDesign? The content in Spanish is assigned unique paragraph styles, and I have defined those styles as Spanish under "Language" in character formats. However when I export the PDF from InDesign, Acrobat reads all of those as "English".  Am I missing anything or do I have to manually update the language categorization in Acrobat? Trying to avoid that since it's a lengthy document but guessing that's my only option. If so, I guess it's not necessary to create separate paragraph styles for content in Spanish?  Any other tips for exporting accessible multilingual PDF from ID would be great.  Tagging our accessibility champion @Bevi Chagnon - PubCom.com in case you might have an answer 🙂 Thanks so much

Desde la última actualización no puedo colocar imágenes en inDesign, cuando lo hago, la imagen se ve, pero el programa se cuelga y ni siquiera puedo cerrarlo Since the last update, I can't place images in InDesign. When I do, the image appears, but the program crashes and I can't even close it.

Hi everyone! I'm new to InDesign and MathML, and I’ve been trying to change the font family for equations but couldn’t figure out how to do it. Is there a way to customize the font?If not, does anyone know what the default font for MathML equations in InDesign is?Thanks in advance for any tips!

I have a new laptop, but whenever i try to import user settings im having the error “Incompatible locale detected. Please choose a valid file to proceed”. both versions are updated to the latest : 21.4.1 x64 

I have just updated InDesign through CC to v13.0, before the update... if for example, I went:File --> Adobe PDF presets --> Smallest file sizeThe location for exporting the file was the same location as the InDesign file.However, since the update, it exports to the last location I used.So, if I export document A which is stored in folder X to folder X, then go to export document B, stored in Folder Z, it opens folder X as the destination for the export, and I then have to browse through the files to select the correct destination folder.Hopefully the above makes sense.I work with so many files and at a rapid pace, so this is a really big inconvenience.Any help would be appreciated.Thank you

I want to check if the 'myPar' paragraph style exists.When it is in the group, return trueBut when it is within a certain group, it is not recognized.Where is the problem?var ifStyEx = styleExist("myPar", "allParagraphStyles")//Check if the style existsfunction styleExist(stn, astc) { var d = app.activeDocument; for (var i = 0; i < d[astc].length; i++) { if (d[astc][i].name == stn) { //style = d[astc][i]; //break; return true; } else { return alert("No exist"); } }} 

Our team works on EdTech book design, and we are currently implementing accessibility for InDesign and PDF files.Most of our books contain a large number of MathType EPS equations and Illustrator AI graphs. Manually adding alt text and accessibility information to thousands of these objects is not scalable.We would like to implement accessibility primarily at the InDesign source level so it can be reused for future editions and outputs.Has anyone worked on similar math-heavy/STEM publishing projects? What tools, workflows, or automation solutions do you recommend for handling equations, graphs, alt text, MathML, and accessible PDF generation from InDesign?

I’ve encountered an issue where text underlines that were vectorized (pages having been exported to EPS) do not print correctly after being linked in another InDesign file and exported to PDF. Here’s the process below:Doc A pages exported as individual EPS files → EPS files linked into objects in Doc B → Doc B exported as a single PDF to be printed.The underlines appear in chunks of thicks and thins in both the PDF export and in print, but do not look this way in InDesign. This is not a local display issue that can be resolved by changes to preferences in Acrobat such as Smooth line art and Enhance thin lines, since it affects the printed document. The PDF export uses Standard: None and Compatibility: Acrobat 4 (PDF1.3). I’ve discovered that removing the Directional Feather effect on the containing object eliminates the “chunky” underline problem. However, that effect is sort of inherited from a previous volume and ideally would be kept.  Any insights as to why this effect is interacti

I realize this is a common issue for users but I cannot publish online, get an error 18 message every time. I am absolutely connected online, i have done everything i can to address the issue based on what I’ve read in the forum, and nothing is working. Why is it that there are no human beings to talk to about this with? Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.

Images inflating from 1800 x 2406 to 7200 x 9746 during Fixed Layout EPUB export for Apple Books. How do I stop InDesign from resampling placed JPEG images during export?

There are both Illustrator and Photoshop beta communities. Why isn’t there one for InDesign Beta?

Two of our colleagues are experiencing the same problem: when exporting a PDF from Indesign directly into Google Drive Desktop, the files for other colleagues are showing up as 0 bytes.  So when exporting to PDF, the PDF is always 'damaged' because it has 0 bytes, while the 'background tasks' in Indesign aren't showing any problems.  Next, when the owner duplicates the '0 byte file', it's working fine (🤯). The file get's synced and can be opened by all other users. It's only an issue with PDF files exported from Adobe Indesign directly on Google Drive Desktop.  When we export to .jpg, .png there is no trouble at all. When saving an indesign of illustrator file (not a PDF), it just works. Does any one else have or have had the same problem? Some info: Macbook Pro m1 2020 - Ventura OS 13.2 (22D49)Adobe Indesign CC 18.1Google Drive Desktop version 69.0.0.0Feedback I've received from Google: I was able to check our internal

Just a bout forever I have been have to use the option  (or shift and option if I want to duplicate horizontally or vertically)  to duplicate an element and drag it to where I want it to be. It is not working anymore. When I click on an object the double arrow does appear, but as soon as I drag, it disappears...I use this all the time, what is the fix?

I am moving text from Google Drive and Word to a text frame in InDesign. Part of the text won’t fill the frame. How do I make those two paragraphs touch the right edge?  Thank you!  

The 3 that I worked on are not showing a preview. The other images that my colleagues worked on, are showing a preview image. Does anyone know why?
