InDesign

Estimados en in desing me aparecen líneas horizontales al ajustar la transparencia de objetos, estas líneas se traspasan incluso al pdf y en las impresiones también, alguién ha tenido el mismo problema 

Newbie question:I have thousands of photos. When I use a photo, I label it to keep track of which photos have been used. From Bridge, how can I reveal where that image has been placed in the Indesign document? thank you, Misty

Hi there! I designed some templates on a baseline grid for a client and now he opened it and the totally of the file is incorrect. The text is all too large and moved up and all of a sudden the blocks are larger and sticks out? The client shared the screenshot, I honestly have no idea what happened as well to solve it.Does anybody know?  

Hi. (This may be a duplicate post, but it was lumped in to another post where it will get lost, so here we go again...  Please, Adobe, leave it as a separate query - it really is!!)I need to be able to make just the first number within the parentheses bold, but not any others. In this sample, I have the solution:(1) Surname Initial et al. Journal 2000;10:2XX–2XX; (2) Surname Initial et al. Journal 2000;10:2XX–2XX;(3) Surname Initial et al. Journal 2000;10:2XX–2XX; (4) Surname Initial et al. Journal 2000;10:2XX–2XX;(5) Surname Initial et al. Journal 2000;10:2XX–2XX; (6) Surname Initial et al. Journal 2000;10:2XX–2XX;(7) Surname Initial et al. Journal 2000;10:2XX–2XX. (?<=\()\d+.*?(?=\)) works well, but there are times when there is another number buried within each reference that can be in brackets, like this:(1) Surname Initial et al. Journal 2000;10(23):2XX–2XX; (2) Surname Initial et al. Journal 2000;10(23):2XX–2XX;What do I need to add to my GREP to only choose the firs

Hello all,I am trying to import Word documents based on the Word Import Preset documents.Here's an example smp document <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <Sangam-Import-Preset reader-type="Word/RTF">     <!--Style mappings take the form of key-value pairs consisting of: style-name: Source document's style name, for example RTF style name. This attribute is mandatory and the value cannot be an empty string. mapped-to: Target InDesign document's style name.

Hello Everyone,I need to edit a document with 2 different languages,on the left column of the page is foreign language & on the right it is regional language.since the document is a of 2000+ pages,please help me with a solution how to make 2 auto flow text boxes without getting bumped into each other.Thanks in advance

Typing letter "r" applies a style sheet instead of actually showing letter "r". Can't type any "r" in the document. Can type uppercase "R" with shift key. But not with caps lock. I removed all innocent paragraph styles and attached a resulting InDesing file and a PDF. Thank you.

Thanks to the help I got yesterday, I have now knitted a book. I'm going to have some cross-references from one chapter to another. Within a single document, I know how to do that. I create a text anchor and then hyperlink to it from another place in the document.Today I created a new text anchor in one chapter. When I went to the other chapter to create the hyperlink, the text-anchor box did not show any text anchors. (That chapter had no internal links.)So I think my question is how I get the indb file to "know" the text anchors in each chapter. Is there a way to import them?

Cuando intento editar un texto siempre desaparece, en algunos no sucede pero en otros si, quisiera saber a que se debe y como puedo solucionarlo, adjunto video de lo que me aparece.

I've searched the XML file for a long time, but I can't find the option I set for "document" or "article" scope.Looks like I'm wrong again. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <Query> <Header> <Version major="5" minor="1"> </Version> <Application value="Adobe InDesign"> </Application> <QueryType value="Grep" qid="1"> </QueryType> </Header> <Description> <FindExpression value="(?<=m|M)(2|3)(?!\d)"> </FindExpression> <ReplaceExpression value=""> </ReplaceExpression> <FindChangeOptions> <IncludeLockedLayers value="0"> </IncludeLockedLayers> <IncludeLockedStories value="0"> </IncludeLockedStories> <IncludeMasterPages value="0"> </IncludeMasterPages> <IncludeHiddenLayers value="0"> </IncludeHiddenLayers> <IncludeFootnotes value="1"> </IncludeFootnotes> <KanaSensitive value="1"> </KanaSensitive>

I am new to scripting and have no idea what I am doing... I seek help with developing a script to do the following (if it is possible): Activate a particular layer. (e.g. "Black")Deactivate a particular layer. (e.g. "CMYK")Find/replace all instances of a swatch used as a fill in tables (e.g. Find "Yellow" change to "Grey")Export book to PDF (so the dialogue box is shown and I can choose the appropriate options). Some background on the project...I have an ID book that contains 40 chapters. Each chapter is one INDD file. Each chapter has a layer named "CMYK" and another "Black". The respective layers contain different versions of artwork as well as background designs that are used in the colour version and the black and white version of the PDF.. Rather than manually activating and deactivating layers on 40 different INDD files, and then running a find/replace colour operation, I would like to be able to streamline the process and run a script where all the changes are mad

Hi, I have spent two days trying to set up a cover and spine for Amazon KDP and have to admit defeat, so I’m hoping you can help. I have watched 10 videos, read all the online content I can find and am working to Amazon KDP’s cover calculator. My book is 152.4 x 228.6 mm (6 x 9 inch) with 150 pages. I created a new print document with three pages. Document setup (screenshot at end of this message): facing pages unticked, margins: 3.17 and bleed 3.17 (top, bottom, left and right). Then I selected all three pages in the pages panel and unticked allow document pages to shuffle, and unticked allow selected spread to shuffle.   Under liquid page rule, I selected scale, then used the page selection tool to select the spine. I then went to Layout/Margins and Columns and set all to 0. Then I went to the control panel and changed the width of the spine to 8.58mm (as per KDP calculator for my books size and page number). This created a space between the spine and the front cover (

I need to put a closed quotation mark at the beginning of a sentence to indicate something special. I believe there is a way to do this, but can't find it. ‘bhūvann āṅgubhartarāḥ The opening mark has to be closed, not open.

The attached screenshot shows the problem. The pink box is 4.25 inches by 6.25 inches, the blue-green box is 4 inches by 6 inches -- which is what I want for a 4 x 6 card. BUT when I export the file to a High Quality Print PDF, the bleed area outside the cut marks is gone -- so there is no bleed area. The office printing the card won't accept that.  I have an M3 MacBook Pro with Sequoia 15.5.  What do I do???

Graphic designer creates indd files for catalog - then I take them and turn them to pdfs for online -  never had a problem in the past with CS6.Now we have CC - so I am in Essentials mode (as usual), but when I open a section of pages, the numbering is different than gr. designer has numbered.  So her pages numbered 8 -12 in the Pages panel is numbered 1-5 on my computer - which makes it confusing to say the least.I am IN "Start page numbering at ...  " and it will say 8 or 12 or whatever it should be - but in the pages panel to the right, it has the pages as 1, 2, 3 etc.I've looked everywhere and can't see why this is happening - anyone know?

I'm reading Peter Kahrel's "GREP in InDesign 3rd Edition" and have a question about Unicode character input behavior. According to the book (page 7), when you enter <014B> in the Find What field, it should convert to the actual character, but if your screen font doesn't support it, it displays as an empty square □. However, when I test this with codes like <20000> or <2F800> on Windows, they remain as code format (e.g., <020000>) rather than converting to characters or showing empty squares. Has anyone experienced the "empty square" situation described in the book? I'm wondering if this behavior has changed in recent InDesign versions, or if I'm missing something. Any insights would be appreciated! Thanks.

Each of my chapters now begins with page 1. I have incorporated them in a book (indb). I want the book's page numbering to run sequentially, from 1 to 1,200 (Yes, that's right. Just be glad you're not the student who has to read all that.)  I do know how to do page numbering with sections in an individual file, but I don't know how to arrange it among files that I have incorporated in a book. For example, Chapter 1 runs from 1 to 109, with a verso page as 110 even though it will be blank. Chapter 2 should therefore begin with 111 (recto page). I can accomplish that "by hand," as it were, by specifying for each chapter the page number on which it is to begin, but is there a way to do that automatically? I ask because if I make changes in a chapter that either add or remove pages, I'd like not to have to hand-renumber the succeeding chapters.

I have a JavaScript script that opens a Letter size document containing one page, adds some text frames to the page, and then resizes them to fit their contents. Then I want to resize the page (or the document) down to the overall size of the text frames (approx. 5" wide and 3" high). I can accomplish what I want in InDesign by selecting the Page Tool, setting Liquid Page Rule to Off, and entering the width and height values. I cannot figure out how to do it in JavaScript. Help! Thanks!

First of all, thanks to all who replied to my initial post about whether I should make each question a separate thread. I have created a book and have imported to it the separate files for the front matter, preface, chapters, appendices, and index, in that order. The first thing I don't understand is whether those indd files now have two existences in some sense--one as separate files and one as related files in the book. For example, if I open Chapter 1 as a separate indd document and make some changes, will those changes be reflected in the book's Chapter 1 or do I have do delete and re-import it? Conversely, if I make changes in the book's Chapter 1, will the separate Chapter 1 file reflect them? Or is there only one copy of Chapter 1, and I can open it either separately or from the book? (I hope this makes some sense, but I wouldn't guarantee that.) 

Suddenly I realized that using auto line spacing works well when inserting formulas in a line.But sometimes I want the auto line spacing value to be the line spacing I want.It has a calculated relationship with the line spacing, can I change it? It would be great if I could change it.

@Peter Kahrel Aren't these the same scripts written by the same person?Not sure why they aren't merged into one.https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/grep_query_manager.htmlhttps://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/grep_editor. htmlThey each have their own advantages and disadvantages.It would be great if they could be merged. Also, the “Editor query in Grep editor” in “Grep query manager” seems to be disabled, and you can only right-click on it. You can only right-click on it, and you can't change the lookup box in the ID.It's a pity that the font can't be enlarged.Thank you very much.

why do most of my ID docs show as converted and images no longer appear

My parent pages are a two-page spread. I have one page, to which the appropriate parent page has been applied. When I insert a page break on that first page, InDesign inexplicably creates a three-page horizontal spread.  

Hi,I'm trying to find out why my HP Z4 G4 workstation (Inteli9-10980XE CPU @ 3.00GHz) with 64 GB RAM and m.2 SSD under Windows 11 Enterprise is once again and still so damn slow.To the group: how long does it take for you to start Indesign (latest version) for the first time and get started?For me 25 seconds ... I'd like to know in passing whether I'm at least in the lower midfield 😉 Thanks!mycc

This is a little complicated and I don't know what the client did exactly, but they gave me a word document with endnotes only, from several different chapters. I am assuming they cut the various chapter endnotes text (only) and pasted them into a new word doc. Thus the endnotes have been separated from the document text with note indicators. When I take this word file and import into indesign, the "import endnotes as static" option does not work. The note numbers cannot be selected, the space between the note number and note text cannot be selected. If I delete a carriage return between two notes, the note number after the carriage return will disappear. I am guessing there is nothing that can be done, but wanted to check before I manually renumber a thousand notes. BTW, the notes that were cut and paste, were edited after cutting them out. So, I can't reimport the original chapter files to get the endnotes as static, because they don't have the edits.
