InDesign

I've updated to 2025 and since then everything is so slow. Especially when I work with text and documents with a lot of styles  - it's for a magazine, so you want al those styles. I work on a Mac Studio and Sonoma 14.7.Instead of working direct from a server, I copied my files to my desktop to see if that would be better, but it isn't. The fonts I use are all otf, so that also shouldn't be a problem.I can't go back to an older version since most of our customers also work with InDesign2025...

Just started using ID 2025 this morning and I'm noticing a LOT of lag time with pretty much any activity. I'm running a Mac Studio with an M2 Ultra, so it's not my computer. I've tried some simple troubleshooting but it is simply not responding like ID 2024. Help!

InDesign works slowly after installing 2025 upgrade. Any solution?   <Title renamed by MOD>

When I click on an open InDesign window, it disappears behind other program windows. I need to either reset my workspace or switch the Application Frame on or off. I’m now having to do this every 5-10 minutes, which is utterly ridiculous. I’ve been plagued with issues for a number of years now, and it’s an absolute hindrance which really affects my workflow. I’ve also tried binning the pref file on multiple occasions, which makes no difference whatsoever. Does anyone have a ‘permanent’ solution for this? You have no idea how appreciated it would be if you did. Thanks.

I’ve written in ExtendScript the include part like this:In the file ec_general_DEV.jsx, which is the file to be included:function general (g){    this.g = g;    this.remove_trailing_linefeeds = function (str){ // general_class        while (str.slice(-1).charCodeAt() == 10 || str.slice(-1).charCodeAt() == 13) str = str.slice(0, -1);        return str;    }... and in the file which is including the ec_general_DEV.jsx:#target indesign;#include '/Library/Scripts/Adobe Automation/ec_general_DEV.jsx';g = {}INST_gene = new general (g); // New instance// Example of usagegeneral_txt = INST_gene.remove_trailing_linefeeds (g.source_PI.rows[39].cells[1].contents) + '\r';And I'm trying to make it work in UXP environment.//@include '/Library/Scripts/Adobe Automation/ec_general_DEV.jsx'; Many thanks in advance!Cheers!Funtom 

Since the InDesign update to 21.0, exporting to interactive PDF (for a fillable form) has dramatically increased the height of checkboxes in the resulting PDF. This results in them overlapping each other (see image) and other odd behavior (for example: clicking the checkbox places the checkmark at the bottom of the box, which was its original location, but then after clicking out of the box, the checkmark moves up to be vertically centered within the now taller bounding box). Radio buttons are also affected in the same way, but not normal input fields. I've reverted InDesign to version 20.5, which fixed the issue for me.

Undo steps disappear automatically while working.Undo history resets to ~3 entries without any undo action being triggered.This happens reproducibly every ~10 seconds.Preflight is disabled.Reproducible in:- new documents- local files (no cloud documents)- fresh installs- multiple machinesWindows 11.Photoshop is not affected.  please help : (

I have been trying unsuccessfully to get the PPD to work with InDesign 2021. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or if it's not supported at all. My IT guy suggest I reach out to the community to see if anyone has any answers. I am running Mac OS 10.15.7 (Catalina). Thank you in advance!

Bonsoir, Bien que j’ai remarqué que ce forum soit majoritairement anglophone, je vais soutenir ma langue : le Français. Je suis auteur et je prépare des livres. Je travaille exclusivement sur Apple : Mac M4 avec 26.5.1 Je me suis abonné en ce début de mois. Et à ma grande surprise malgré mon paiement je ne dispose pas d’un logiciel performant, je suis donc mécontent ! J’ai notamment 2 soucis importants qui me créent bien des soucis : lors d’un import de photo, toutes les pages suivantes deviennent vierges, pourquoi ? > je pense que çà un lien avec le gabarit/ J’ai aussi de gros problèmes avec la génération d’un sommaire. bien que j’ai créé des styles il m’importe des illustrations, pourquoi ? De plus lorsque j’exporte pour un epub, il met met un message d’erreur à cause d’une ancienne ancre. Tout çà me parait complèxe à résoudre… Quelqu’un a t il une solution. Portez vous bien.

Congratulations to the development team! You actually managed to do it: The copy-paste bug that has been actively ignored in Illustrator for months has now officially arrived in InDesign. An absolute masterpiece of breaking fundamental operating system functions across the entire suite.Current state of the software: Copy-Paste Failure: Elements cannot be pasted, or doing so crashes the application instantly. Instant Freeze: Upon launch, InDesign freezes completely after about 2 clicks every second time it is opened (infinite spinning wheel). Preferences Reset: The preferences now literally delete themselves on every single restart. Please save yourself the generic "delete your preferences" or "reinstall the app" copy-paste answers. This is a deep-seated code issue within your shared components, not a user error.Just out of curiosity: Which elementary core features are you planning to ruin next and ignore for the foreseeable future?System Specifications: Software: InDesign (Latest 2

I've noticed that Indesign Publish Online now uses GA4. I've got a client that wants to historic data on their documant. Is there any way of retreiving this information? When did it change to GA4?

We’re trying to integrate the Beta version of InCopy into a process. As we test it out with different users, we noticed that some of the users are unable to open the files while others have no issues opening them. Everyone is using Chrome and there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why it doesn’t work. Any tips on getting files open for all users?

I’m doing the typesetting for a book that needs custom shapes behind some words (think the angled rectangles of National Geographic Kids or a watercolor brushed color). The shapes need to scale in size according to the text (like paragraph shading or borders.example of custom shapeAny advice would be most welcome!

Usually, if I got a fill or stroke color set (left in the toolbar) and draw a shape like a square, this fill and stroke (if any is set) will used to create this shape. Now - all of a sudden and who knows since when - it just ignores it?I have a color fill set, I draw the shape = the shape stays unfilled and without any stroke + the preset color and stroke just vanishes to nothing and I have to re-fill or add a stroke while the blank shape is selected….InDesign Version 21.4

Randomly, the cursor changes to thread text when clicking anywhere on a text box.It happens sometimes when trying to select a key object for alignment, when double-clicking on a text box to edit its content, when a text box is selected and I click outside of it (trying to deselect the text box). It doesn’t matter where in the text box I click (meaning, it’s not that I’m clicking on the out port by mistake).I already updated to the latest version, restarted my laptop, quit and restarted InDesign just in case… It’s been happening for days.InDesign version: 21.4.1macOs version: Tahoe 26.5.1

Hi everyone,I'm experiencing a very strange issue with Adobe InDesign 21.4.1 on macOS 26.5.1 (25F80).Whenever I simply click an object with the Selection Tool (black arrow), the object immediately moves a few pixels up and to the left. I'm not dragging it—a single click alone changes the object's position.To rule out document corruption, I created a brand-new blank document, drew a simple rectangle, and the exact same thing happens. Every click moves the rectangle slightly farther up and to the left.I've attached a short screen recording demonstrating the issue.What I've already tried:Created a brand-new document. Tested with a simple rectangle only (no images or text). Disabled Snap to Guides, Snap to Document Grid, and Smart Guides. Performed a completely clean installation of macOS. Installed InDesign from scratch on the fresh system (so this is effectively beyond resetting preferences). The issue persists even after the clean OS and application installation.System InformationInDesi

Hi All,I am on macOS 26.5.1 and testing on InDesign 2025. I notice that getFiles function is behaving strangely. If I do something like the following, I get 0Folder("/Users/manan/Documents").getFiles("").lengthThe same happens with other folders in this folder as well. Now, my script tries to use unPackageUCF and that too fails with these paths as input. I have noticed one thing, when the folders are created on the same day the code works fine. However, once the folders are older than a day the API starts failing. It does not make any sense to me. Any insights?

I’m working on a file with ~350 pages all linking to individual TIFF files, which is typical for my work and I’ve done this before. I worked on the file last night and it opened just fine. Today I opened the file and right after I chose update links the file crashed and closed InDesign immediately. If I choose not to update links, I get the same outcome. I thought this file might be corrupted so I opened some other much smaller files, some that don’t even have any links, and they all crashed before they were able to open. Same thing happens with IDML files. Even if I choose to create an entirely new document, InDesign loads for a moment and then crashes. There is no error message when it crashes, it just closes, but when I reopen ID it asks if I want to recover the previous files (if I say yes the crash happens again). I’m loading these files locally, not from Adobe cloud. I’m on a deadline and have no clue what to do about this. As far as I’m aware nothing with my PC has changed since

I’m building a doc page by page. When I need to add another page, I find that InDesign will randomly add it to the end of the document or insert it in between the last and next-to-last pages… even though no page is selected in the Pages panel. When InDesign decides to insert rather than append a page, I can almost always Undo and then repeat the operation… and it’ll be appended as expected. But right now, InDesign refuses to append a page to the end of the document.  

Is there a way how to change default filter in Open file dialog just to INDD files and not All readable? I would like to see only INDD files and not PDF and many others when opening files.
