InDesign

I need to stop the annoying pop up that is asking from me to use adobe express. 

Has anyone else had to repeatedly uninstall the InDesign updates AFTER Version 21.1 x64…..From Version 21.2 onward I have had to remove it and revert back to the earlier version. This will be the 4th version that won’t work, because InDesigns keeps hanging after I import an image. The only way out of it is to force close InDesign and uninstall the offending version and reinstall the previous stable version. This is my 30th year with Adobe, and the last thing I expected was a monumental stuff up with a program that I use daily. I have been putting up with it, but now I am pretty much over it. Can anyone shed some light on the issue, please? I really would like to get my moneys worth from my long standing Creative Cloud subscription.Note the blue circle in the image, which continues to spin until I force close InDesign and uninstal this version and reinstall the previous version.

Já reportei este problema, mas com as atualizações do InDesign e do Windows, isso se resolveu; mas agora, novamente, as fontes estão aparecendo em negrito em partes do texto, mesmo o estilo correspondente não conter esta opção:Adobe, por favor me informe, quando o programa funcionará sem problemas após atualizações do Windows e do programa? Essa mudança de estilo muda todo o espaçamento do arquivo e desconfigura o documento que não pode seguir para a produção. 😔

I recently updated my InDesign to 21.4 and now it crashes every few minutes. There isn’t a consistent reason it crashes—it crashed when I highlighted a line of text to copy one time, when I tried to save the file another time, and in the middle of typing yet another time.I disabled generative AI (as seen on other suggestions), which didn’t change anything. When opening or saving my files, none have a corrupt warning, so I know it’s not that. My Macbook is also up to date. I’m at a standstill now for my workday because this is my main tool to use. Is there a known bug for this, or a known fix? Thanks!

I created a new plugin and posted a message with a link to Git to the community, but after that, I can no longer log in to the community with that account. I'm now trying to post using a different account.It seems Adobe Support cannot address community issues. I would like to know the reason why I can no longer log in with my original account and have it restored.

Hi,After installing the latest version of InDesign (v. 21.4), objects are not shown correctly (like before).When I make objects with a stroke (e.g. a square with a stroke), the stroke is not shown at all. And if I make an object with rounded corners, the corners are not shown correctly. See attached screenshot. When I try to set transparency in Effects (e.g. 50 %), that is also not showing, the box is shown 100 % white none the less.If I generate a PDF everything is shown correctly there.Display performance is set to high quality, so that should not be a problem.Does anyone have a clue about this problem? Please help me!

Undo is not available for anything like moving an object or changing color.

Since the version 20, InDesign has been struggling to deal with hyperlinks in the footnotes, which leads the app to crash. This topic is related here since the 2019 CC and it doesn’t get resolved.It's been challenging to get work done with these kinds of problems. I’ve already reinstaled InDesign, disabled Windows Updates and One Drive, deleted preferences, and none of that seems to work.Please, can someone give me a hint on how to deal with it?

I have an InDesign 2025 sdk project that I’m migrating to InDeisgn 2026 sdk   but I´m having problems with the K2Vector changes. I don´t know where to start, I already add the header and lib routes but Idon´t know if I´m missing something or all the error are related to code changes that I need to made.  this is the error that the compiler throw:Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:  "K2Internals::K2VectorBase<InterfacePtr<IPMUnknown>, K2Allocator<InterfacePtr<IPMUnknown>>>::DoCleanup()", referenced from:      std::__1::unique_ptr<K2Vector<InterfacePtr<IPMUnknown>, K2Allocator<InterfacePtr<IPMUnknown>>>, std::__1::default_delete<K2Vector<InterfacePtr<IPMUnknown>, K2Allocator<InterfacePtr<IPMUnknown>>>>>::~unique_ptr[abi:ne200100]() in TextWarpSuiteASB.o      std::__1::__shared_ptr_pointer<K2Vector<InterfacePtr<IPMUnknown>, K2Allocator<InterfacePtr<IPMUnknown>>>*, std::__1:

I have a 300 page document that is fairly complex, meaning that it has many text boxes. My client asked for a docx file of the text. If I export to a PDF and try to do it in Acrobat, Acrobat crashes. I know I can copy out of the story editor, but that would require dozens of manual copies because there are so many text boxes. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks!

I think I was almost scared to death.Today I seem to have caused another big trouble because of regularization.The reason is that a few days ago, when I was using regularization, I didn't pay attention to the search scope and replaced the entire document. I didn't know at the time, but now I have discovered it.The tragedy happened like this, luckily the book hasn't been printed yetI was scolded badly by my boss.I found that when storing regularization, I selected the scope of "article", but when I choose to use it again, if I don't pay attention, its scope will change to "document".Ah, I'm getting old and dizzy.Can we limit the search scope in a regular “myreg.xml” file?Let it be implemented, if not manually changed, the default scope is' article ' 

I’m trying to create my first cross reference (which I’ve never done before). Instructions for doing it through Type / Hyperlinks & Cross References say:Create a text anchor: open the Hyperlinks or Cross‑References panel menu → New Hyperlink Destination → choose Type: Text Anchor → name the anchor and click OK.But it won’t let me name the anchor. All the drop-down shows is [None]. I’ve also tried creating a name anchor through Windows / Interactive / Hyperlinks. I seem to have successfully created a name anchor there, but when I use Type / Hyperlinks & Cross References to create the link it doesn’t show up in the Text Anchor names. 

Hi there. Since updating to this version I’ve been having an accessibility issue and wondered if I should be rolling back to a prior version? It now adds unnecessary "span" tags to my PDF documents exported from InDesign, which is interfering with their accessibility and requires too much manual processing to correct.The steps I'm following are:1. Create a bullet list in inDesign using paragraph styles.2. Ensure the export tag for that paragraph style is set to "automatic".2. Export to PDF, selecting "Create a Tagged PDF".3. When opening the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro, the nesting order for bullet lists should be: List > List Item > Label and List Item Body.4. However, after the update it's now adding "span" tags under every "label" folder."Span" is an inline-level tag used for styling or formatting, it's not meant for structural elements like list labels. This is laborious to have to fix manually, even more so given I generally make a second, text only version of all my PDFs.Grate

On two of my documents, I can no longer overwrite them as I get error 33. I don’t have any proxies as suggested by the help. All I did was remove some text, so there is no reason for it to not like t he updated document. I have InDesign 21.4 x64. Running windows 11  

[English below]Bonjour,Je travaille actuellement sur un livre à double entrée : lisible dans les 2 sens. Sens 1 page x1 à x160, sens 2 (livre retourné pour être à nouveau de gauche à droite), page y1 à y160. Je rencontre des difficultés à faire cette mise en page. Actuellement j’ai 2 fichiers indesign, l’un pour le recto, l’autre pour le verso. L’idée serait donc de fusionner ces 2 fichiers, mais ça veut dire 1 fichier à l’endroit suivi de l’autre à l’envers, avec inversion du gabarit et numéros de pages par la fin. Je ne trouve pas de solution sur indesign pour faire cela, ni sur acrobat. Avez-vous des tips à me partager ?Merci !Sol Hello,I’m working currently on a double-entry book (not sure of the english term) : readable both way.

For now, I have 2 indesign files, one for the recto, the other one for the verso. The idea would be to merge these 2 files, b

Hello Adobe Support, We are setting up Adobe InDesign Server on an AWS EC2 instance using our FRL-Online license. We selected IP-address-based activation during license setup, and Adobe shared a range of IP addresses with us. Before configuring our AWS networking, we need clarification on how this IP range is used. We are torn between two interpretations: Approach 1 — Outbound (our IPs):The provided IPs belong to our infrastructure, and Adobe expects the activation request to come from one of them. We must assign one of these IPs to our EC2 (e.g., as an Elastic IP) so Adobe sees activation traffic originating from an approved IP. Approach 2 — Inbound (Adobe's IPs):The provided IPs belong to Adobe's licensing servers, and Adobe will initiate the activation request to our EC2. We should allow inbound traffic from these IPs and ensure our EC2 is reachable. Could you confirm: 1. Which approach is correct for FRL-Online activation?2. Does our EC2 need a public IP / Elastic IP attached direc

I am experiencing a serious issue with InDesign Share for Review and need assistance recovering review comments.I created an InDesign document and shared it using Share for Review. Around 10 collaborators participated and left more than 200 comments. More than a week later, I reopened the file to apply the feedback, and all comments were loading and working normally.While working on the document, my internet connection was temporarily interrupted for a few minutes. After the connection was restored, the review stopped working. The comments no longer appear in InDesign, the review seems to have disappeared from my account, and the original review link no longer works for any of the collaborators.As a result, more than 200 comments from approximately 10 reviewers have become inaccessible.Could you please investigate whether the review data can be recovered or restored from Adobe's servers? Since the comments were available and functioning normally before the connection issue, I believe t

Since the latest update InDesign has become very sluggish, especially when hyperlinks need to be modified. When trying to open the hyperlinks menu, it takes at least a minute to open, and any changes such as selecting a drop-down option, or placing a hyperlink, produces the same effect.Also, just loading new InDD docs takes longer.I'm running Win11 with 64 GB RAM, with plenty of drive space available.Before the latest update, InDD was somewhat slow, but not like it is now.This is very frustrating.

I have som of my dokuments in a indesign-book not being able to “share for review”.It started yesterday, while i started making several links for review to a client. Some om them are not being possible to generate, asking med to type a name of the link, because the service does not get the indesign documents name automatically.Additionally when checking the links online, alle text is in ukrainian. All my settings in CC and acrobat desktop (mac) is in english language. It seems så fare that this is only happening on parts of Acrobats services… Anyone that knows what is wrong? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,I am experiencing a persistent issue where endnote hyperlinks do not work in the exported PDF, whereas all other standard hyperlinks in the document work perfectly. Inside InDesign, the endnote links appear normal and intact.Here are the details of my environment and what I have already tried: Versions Tested: I have tested this on both InDesign 2025 and InDesign 2026 versions, but the issue persists in both. Export Settings: Tried exporting as both Adobe PDF (Interactive) and Adobe PDF (Print) (making sure the "Hyperlinks" checkbox is checked in the General settings). Still, endnotes remain unclickable in the PDF. Troubleshooting Done: Updated and synced all links. Exported the document as an IDML file to clear any potential corruption, re-opened it, and re-exported to PDF. Copied the text/content into a brand-new InDesign document and tried exporting again. None of these steps resolved the issue. Since it occurs across both 2025 and 2026 versions, I susp

Need help to download an InDesign 2018 installer. I can't find it anywhere on the website. I have upgraded my old laptop (Dell Inspiron 14 N4050) to windows 10 and I can't find my CC installer anymore. Please please please

The Media window/panel out of the interactive group in InDesign disappears after each restart of InDesign from the workspace since the upgrade to version 21 (yes, since 21.0 but I’m now using it more often so it got annoying).  When I add the Media panel to any sidebar (as open or collapsed… any position or group, it doesn’t make a difference) it’s always gone again after an InDesign restart, even if I specifically save it to a workspace. I’m on Windows 11 if that matters. Has anyone else this issue or is it just me? Any solutions for it to stay included? Another related question - Now by default, if I add a video to a frame, the poster frame is empty by default and I have to change it to “From current frame” every single time. In the old version (20.x) I could change the default so it would always take the current frame as poster frame. I haven’t figured out how to do that with 21.x. Is it possible and how? Thanks for your help. 

I’m experiencing a very frustrating situation where i try to open an old 2004 .indd file in InDesign2026…Any idea opening this file would be welcome. Not convinced at all it is corrupt… just a generic message.opening the file through context menu “open with” Message from InDesign stating “InDesign has detected the file was corrupted. Would you like us to repair it? It will be temporarily processed on our servers. YES/NO” Pressing YES New message stating “Impossible to repair. You are not connected to CreativeCloud. Connect with your ID, restart and try again” Done, but I was already connected. Retried anyway, still the same messages and failure. Upon quitting Indesign a little bit dispaired, i get an exception message. Alas, resigning !!!  

Over the last week or so everytime I launch InDesign I am met with the attached dialog box. "You cannot reverse this change with the Edit > Undo command" It is persistent and getting worse. It will now launch randomly whilst I'm working. It is making InDesign almost unusable and destroying my worklfow and concentration. How on earth can I stop this occuring? I've tried Resetting Warning Dialogs to no avail. I've seen this posted elsewhere without any solution. Can someone at Adobe please respond – its driving me nuts.

The new context break feature in 21.4 has a bug. Being able to map a paragraph style to an <hr /> tag is terrific. It is a massive improvement for EPUB developers. That said, there is a bug. When an assembled image (like a series of grouped items, or similar) are set to rasterize as a context-break image, and the paragraph tag that it sits in is set to export as an <hr />, the image goes missing. As this is a very common in trade publishing, it would be useful to address this issue.
