Hallo zusammen,ich versuche über ein csv Datei und die Dateizusammenführung die Produktbereiche eines Kataloges (Produktbild, Produktname, Artikelnummer, VP, ...) zu "füttern". Alles funktioniert so weit gut bis auf die Bilder. Ich habe noch keinen Weg gefunden wie ich mit einer csv Datei 900 Fotos in den dazugehörigen Bereich setzen kann. Es wird in allen Bereichen (Bildrahmen) immer das gerade in der Datenzusammführung gewählte Bild angezeigt. Kann man sowas über IDs steuern? Habe dazu noch nichts im Netz gefunden. Wie macht ihr das mit den Bildern in einem Katalaog, ich bin doch nicht erste, der so etwas macht 🙂 ? Danke für jeden TippLjubomir 

Holle! m1b everyoneThis script opens the image in Ps, but the image in the ID is not updated after the changes are saved.　It's a bit of a workload to update hundreds of images manually.Is there any way to solve it?Thank you very much.I came across this posting and it's a bit too long to read.another post/** * Open Selected Links In Photoshop.js * * Opens the selected linked file(s) in Photoshop. * * m1b * 2025-03-08 * @discussion https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/how-to-open-images-with-different-default-applications-in-indesign-and-resource-manager-windows/m-p/15197180 */ (function () { if (0 === app.documents.length) return alert('Please open a document and try again.'); var doc = app.activeDocument, items = doc.selection; if (0 === items.length) return alert('Please select a linked graphic frame and try again.'); // collect paths for each selected item var paths = []; for (var i = 0; i < items.lengt

Hello gang! Im trying to get cells which have lots of long paragraphs in them to split across multiple pages. Currently it takes the entire row across and is making lots of large gaps in my document. For the life of me I cannot find a 'split row across page tick box' in the propeties panel or anything similar, here is a Sample. Im really grateful for any help.. 

I wish Adobe would launch a HEX color window under the fill and stroke icons, so I wouldn't have to enter every color, copy the hex code, exit, and continue... Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator - every one of them!

I wonder, after all these years, why InDesign still loses his knowledge weather if a dialog had its preview switched on or not, reverting everything to no-preview after a (minor) update. Maybe too much to ask...

For example, the following code:mynewLink=decodeURI(lst[p]); alert(mynewLink);The output is:file:C:/Users/dublove/Desktop/PDF/6688.PSDHow does this determine if 6688.PSD really exists?if(mynewLink.exists){ .... }This doesn't seem right.Thank you.   

Is there a GREP etc way to find quickly all pages in a doc in which the text boxes have been manually shortened

I need to save a PDF with pages laid out for booklet printing, so that it's ready to be printed. Unfortunately, the "Print Booklet" option doesn't allow me to save directly as a PDF, and when I try saving it as a PostScript file, I can't choose the orientation or other settings properly, and the result comes out misaligned.Is there a way to do this directly from InDesign? Thank you!

Hi I am creating my first Kindle e-book. I can’t for the life of me get a page break after the editor name on my title page. You'll see it sitting on the second page below instead of at the end of the first page.  I have created styles. For the editor name, I ticked split document. That didn’t work. So I created a style on the line under the editor name and  ticked split document . That didn’t work.  I don’t just want to insert a page break as I believe that’s not good practice for EPUB? Any idea of what's going wrong? Thanks in advance.      

Hi,We're extension developers and our extension is running on older InDesign versions without problems. The panel opens an website from an server, the site is made with Vaadin - and with CC 2021 I get an "Cookies disabled" message from our site. My CEFCommandLine is: <CEFCommandLine> <Parameter>--disable-features=SameSiteByDefaultCookies,CookiesWithoutSameSiteMustBeSecure,NetworkService</Parameter> <Parameter>--disable-site-isolation-trials</Parameter> <Parameter>--allow-file-access</Parameter> <Parameter>--allow-file-access-from-files</Parameter> <Parameter>--enable-nodejs</Parameter> <Parameter>--mixed-context</Parameter> </CEFCommandLine>Anybody here with a similar problem? Is there a way to access the settings in the Chromium engine?ThanksKlaus

Is it possible to create a downloadable, interactive multimedia PDF?What's the best way to include features such as GIFs and audio? Plus, I would like the user to answer questions by inputting text into multiple (9) chapter pages, then for all of those answers to be automatically populated into a 2-page PDF form in the conclusion. I would like users to be able to use the free version of Acrobat to edit the PDF. Is it better to use HTML5 export with InDesign 2025 or something like In5? https://ajarproductions.com/pages/products/in5/  Thanks 

Mac OS Sequoia, InDesign 2024 19.5.4 Every week or so, I find that when I go to create a new document, my default settings have changed. I am and have always been a US user, but regularly and without warning, new documents will be created as A4 with rulers set to millimeters, the dictionary set to UK: English, and paragraph composer set to World Ready Paragraph Composer.  I've trashed preferences using the keyboard shortcut.I've trashed the entire /Users/[me]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign. The problem still comes back. I've found that trashing only the /Users/[me]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 19.0/en_US/InDesign Defaults is enough to return to the correct US defaults.  The problem still comes back. Anybody ever seen anything like this? Any idea what might be changing my defaults? I'm on a company-managed computer, so it may be some management thing they're running. But then again, none of my coworkers have had the sam

I specified "igonore text-wrap". But I cannot delete the spread of the last two pages. It creates garbage on previous pages.

Hi,I want to get interested in Scripting, and I read on the docs that I should use UXP Developer Tools, but I cannot even open it. When I click the link in the CreativeCloud app, it shows an EACCESS error in a popup.So I don't know what to do. I'm on mac 12.6.3.(for now I guess I will use extend scripting) 

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
