Dear Team,We are working in InDesign CC 2017 on Mac OS-X, While deleting some box item in pages InDesign unexpectedly closes. We are trying to open the file, but InDesign shows "Document contains an invalid frame" alert message. We are not able to recover after selecting Yes/No option.Could you please suggest any option to recover the InDesign file.Regards,Suresh

Unable to contact Adobe developers directly, but it's pretty poor that the word 'Portrait' is misspelt in the InDesign document set-up drop-down menu...maybe it's an American thing? 

I'm trying to edit the bullet point distance from the first word of the Sentence.I tried the following:Opened Paragraph StylesClick the top right corner dropdown and chose Style OptionsClick on Bullets and NumberingI Chose Bullets from the List Type dropdownI changed the Tab Position to 5mm as a testThis worked, but..........When I clicked on ok to close the Style options, every sentence in the document became a bullet list.Every time I create a new sentence ina new Text box it is automatically converted to a bullet pointIf I go back in and undo the Style then I lose all Bullet lists.I am obviously doing the wrong thing.I simply want to change the distance between the Bullet point and the Sentence by half, so that if I create a bullet list it will be a shorter distance. Similar to the above list!Thanks

Seit dem neusten Update habe ich folgendes Phänomen: Ich möchte mit gedrückter Maustaste mehrere Objekte auswählen. Sobald ich die Taste drücke, verschwindet alles hinter einer weißen Fläche. So ist es unmöglich, mehrere Objekte durch ziehen auszuwählen! Extrem störend. Was kann ich tun?

In my InDesign document I have equations as images, in accessibility pdf it as tagged as <Figure> automatically, I need to tag it as <Formula>, how can I do it from InDesign through InDesign scripting

Hi, I'm trying to make a script where it will take highlighted text, make it into a hyperlink, format it with a character style and make the destination a page within the document, specifically the number that is the highlighted text. The usecase is an index - so I highlight 151, for example, and the script applies the character style "Hyperlink" and makes the text a hyperlink to page 151. Below is what I have so far but I'm tweaking a script I found elsewhere (source below) and I'm really struggling. I'm afraid this is not a particular strength of mine. If anyone fancies digging into it and seeing if they can make it work, I'd be very grateful! Thanks, Eubhal Script: Main();// If you want the script to be un-doable, comment out the line above, and remove the comment from the line below// app.doScript(Main, undefined, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT,”Run Script”);function Main() {//This takes the text that you have highlighted on the pagevar myHighlightedTex

My Direct Selection tool is not moving individual anchor points from objects that I draw with the Pen Tool. It should function the same as Illustrator and allow you to select an anchor point and move the individual point. Is there a setting that I am missing somewhere for this?

Hi everyone,I want to create a script that finds all block texts in bold style and changes the format of the first letter of every word found in bold.My script is not working, and I don't have enough knowledge to correct it.Please could you help me: if (app.documents.length === 0) {alert("Nenhum documento está aberto!");} else {var doc = app.activeDocument;if (doc.stories.length === 0) {alert("O documento não contém nenhuma história de texto!");} else {for (var i = 0; i < doc.stories.length; i++) {var story = doc.stories[i];for (var j = 0; j < story.paragraphs.length; j++) {var para = story.paragraphs[j];for (var k = 0; k < para.words.length; k++) {var word = para.words[k];if (word.characters.length > 0 && word.characters[0].appliedFont.fontStyleName.toLowerCase().includes("heavy")) {word.characters[0].pointSize = 18;}}}}alert("Texto no estilo Heavy encontrado e ajustado!");}}

HelloI live in Greenland and need to use InDesign. But why can't I pay InDesign from Greenland? Lisathe Møller

My InDesign has gone EXTREMELY slow since the update to 18.2.1. I'm working on a Windows 11 laptop. Placing images works fine, but editing a simple text box, typing a word, any formatting takes several seconds to materialise. Typing a word in a text box will make the word appear letter by letter and each letter takes a few seconds to appear. It is unworkable and simply unacceptable for a paid-for product. The laptop's resources are not at their limits. I still have spare processor capacity and spare RAM when InDesign decides to think about every little edit, so that's not it. It never used to be anywhere near this slow, but I can't keep on working like this. Any ideas?   <Title renamed by moderator>

Salut, Pourquoi "Kashida", "digit" et "sens du texte" ne figure pas dans le panneau des options? Merci 

When working within a book, you can have it automatically insert blank pages if a chapter doesn't start on the type of page you specify. But I can't find where you specify which master page to use for the inserted blank page. Where is this?

Hi everyone,I am using InDesign 19.01.64 bit and when I try to apply my Auto Style Pack, I am getting this error message "could not perform this workflow". Please try again later. CloseAnyone idea how I can cure this error?ThanksNeil

First let me say sorry for long post and THANKS ALL. Hello all, I need some help please. I do variable mailings. In doing so we have a QC process where we change all the variable type from 100K to 100 magenta so clients can see the variables easier. I am looking for a script where I can call out a swatch color name (VARIABLES 100K) and change the current swatch CMYK values without changing the name, adding another swatch or changing any other swatch CMYK values. I have the script below that does change the color of all process colors. For some jobs this will work because there is only one-color swatch being used. var doc = app.activeDocument;var swatches = doc.swatches; for (var i = 0; i < swatches.length; i++) {  var swatch = swatches[i];  if (swatch.isValid && swatch.name != "[none]" && swatch.name != "[Black]" && swatch.name != "[Registration]" && swatch.name != "[Paper]") {      swatch.properties =

Is [[:punct:]] the only representation of punctuation proper?Is there a simpler one? 

Hi!  I'm very new to GREP styles but created one so that all numbers in this paragraph style are bolded.  In many cases, some numbers are superscripted. I do NOT want superscripted numbers to be bold. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance 🙂   

1. Do it in Inkscape2. save as svg3. Import into InDesignDo you guys use your software or are you just selling it?

I'm having issues (again!) with certain settings in InDesign panels not working. For example, when trying to change the font in the Character panel, it shows a preview of the font as I scroll through them but when I click on the one I want it switches back to the previous font. I'm having the same issue with the stroke weight. The only way to change these parameters is in the Control Panel at the top of the window. I've had this issue before and then it simply went away, presumably thanks to an update, but now it's back again. There's a similar issue with the Tint in the Swatches panel. When I try to use the slider to adjust the tint it closes the panel immediately. The only way to adjust it is to enter the number manually. We really need a fix for this! I'm using InDesign version 18.5 on a Mac Studio with M1 Max processor and macOS 13.5.2.

I added several Adobe fonts from the family AgencyFB, and then used three of them (Bold, BoldWide, and BlackWide) in an InDesign document. A day or so later, InDesign started claiming that the Bold version is missing, but it's definitely not. I removed and re-added it on the Adobe Fonts page, but there was no change in InDesign. I can still choose that font variation in the pulldown, and InDesign will render it properly and even embed it in exported PDFs, while continuing to claim it's missing! I did notice that in the list of embedded fonts in the PDF, Bold is rumored to be TrueType while BoldWide and BlackWide are Type 1 Open Type - it seems unlikely that different fonts in the same family would be different types, so that got my attention. In InDesign's Find/Replace Font dialog, the More Info area says the font is supposed to be OpenType CFF, not TrueType, so that's definitely odd. What should I do to try and fix this? Here are three screenshots to support what I just wrote: (1

~k is a discretionary Line Break, I've tried it but I don't know what it's used for. \K is something I learned last year, what is it called, backwards? I've read a couple of postings, maybe it's a language difference, and haven't been able to understand the same yet.I've just been depressed as to why (? <=\d). works, but (? <=\d+). can't be realized.\K is used to solve the problem of  "(? <=\d+)."? Thanks 

Set up CC Libraries for a client a couple of years ago now. Assest uncluded logos and icons created in Adobe Illustrator. Previously, when the images were placed into InDesign the images retained transparent backgrounds. Now when I import directly into InDesign from CC Libraries, the images do not retain their transparent backgrounds. These are vector images of logos and icons that are now showing up with white backgrounds even when I export to print or PDF, still there. I can manually place the images (Ai eps files) into InDesign with no issue. Tried to edit the files and save them into the latest format of Ai but to no avail. Older InDesign files utilizing the CC Library assets still work but not new documents.
