InDesign

I have a graphic in my document, with wrapping set to "jump object." The problem is that there's too much space between the bottom of the graphic and the next line of text. There's an adjustment in the properties panel for space below the wrapped item, but all it does is move a (new) red line away from the bottom boundary of the graphic. I don't know what that line is supposed to represent, but it has no effect on the wrapped text. If you move the bottom bound of the graphic itself, the text moves but of course the graphic is cropped. Anyone know what the deal is here? Screen grab: https://youtu.be/0RpUVM4o974

Hi everyone,From this old post, I've learned that it's possible to create a cross-reference to paragraph via script. My question now is: Is there a way to also define/edit it via script? - see screenshot below. For instance, I would like to remove the quotations marks and leave only <paraText /> when creating the cross-reference. @Peter Kahrel, any help will be greatly appreciated 🙂 Thanks! 

Hi, my client is having issues accessing an embedded video link that I have in an interactive PDF. The file is saved on my Google Drive folder and the link permits access to anyone with the link however the client says they're being prompted to download the video rather than watch directly from the web browser. All of my beta testing in our office comes back without any problems and everyone can view without problems. Any advice or is this a possible user error by my client? Thanks

Hi everyone, This has been bothering me for a while so trying to find a solution. I produce various reports in InDesign, these include text, tables, photos and often also graphs. I prepare the graphs in Excel, then save it to PDF (via File->Export->Create PDF/XPS) and then place (link) this PDF graph into my InDesign document. However, often the quality of the Axis texts is poor once I export the InDesign file into the final PDF (attaching a screenshot of zoomed Axis values). I have tried to play with the export settings but it does not have much difference. Also, I discovered, that the separate graph that I export from Excel to PDF already shows this rasterized texts, so it seems the issue happens prior to InDesign (as if Excel does not the graph in vectors). If anyone has any useful tips or ideas how to fix this, it would be very appreciated.

I have an indesign document that I have to insert a blank or Master page everyother page.  Any help is appreciated. Thank you!!

Bonjour, bien que j'utilise régulièrement et sans problèmes la fusion de données avec des textes en police latine,  je n'arrive pas à importer correctement du texte en arabe dans un document - en l'occurence des noms arabes dans une invitation bilingue anglais-arabe - les noms s'affichent sous forme de rectangles vides, impossible de les afficher en arabe correct. Mon champ cible est paramétré avec une police arabe et avec le compositeur de paragraphe universel Adobe est activé. Est-ce que d'autres utilisateurs ont rencontré le même problème ? Est-ce que vous avez une solution ?Merci par avance.

I am running InDesign CC v17.4.  Drop-down menus are NOT working. I can sometimes get them to work by both right and left clicking - but any menu item with a sub-menu (spell check for example) will not work. PLEASE HELP! This has been happening for some time and is unacceptable! Tried looking for .plist files to delete, but do not see any for InDesign. 

Over the past few days I've been looking into methods to either set up, generate or manage restaurant menus variably. One of my clients is a hospitality group that owns a few different restaurants, most of which I designed the menus for. However they often simultaneously update their menus and prices for all locations which results in quite a laborious proces that leaves a lot of room for human error. This because theres multiple variants of the same menu in use at different shapes and sizes. (For instance within the restaurant, outdoors on the wall, in front of the restaurant in a display, some have menu's behind the counters etc.) Which makes it quite easy to miss a value or some textual tweak. What I would ideally like to do is hand the restaurant managers an excel sheet that follows a specific format and based off of this generate the individual menus or change details where need be. (for instance containing: menu item, title, type, price, description, etc.) I've bee

I suffer from Adobe InDesign closing suddenly several times, whether when I use the writing features such as bolding the font or inserting text on the next page using the plus sign, or the page freezes and the program closes. Please fix this recurring problem, noting that I have contacted you several times.

Hi,nach meinem Problem mit Photoshop/ Adobe Stock, spinnt jetzt auch indesign rum.Die Schrift ist nach wie vor noch aktiviert (siehe Screenshot), wird aber innerhalb des Dokuments nicht mehr erkannt (siehe ebenfalls Screenshot).Ich bin echt ratlos und kann so auch nicht arbeiten. Vielleicht kann mir ja jemand weiterhelfen. Vielen Dank und viele GrüßeFenja

The new version of InDesign has a terrible bug: when importing a CSV with data merge, it doesn’t import the fields correctly (duplicates images, shifts rows and columns, copies the same cells across entire pages). Every day there’s a new issue with a program we pay a lot of money for, unbelievable...

i am wondering if there is way to increase the font size preview for adding bullet icons. currently, it is so small it's hardly recognizable. using the side scroll is also jumpy and finger scrolling in this panel isn't recognized.

Regular expressions stored in the ID Finder Panel are stored in “Find-Change Queries\GREP” by default.However, occasionally it will be stored in the "Find-Change Queries\Text" directory, under what circumstances will the result be different.It would be great if regular can call "folder shortcut".As far as I know, the script window supports folder shortcuts.

Why when using a paragrph style and I click on the space bar, does it go to the next line instead of just spacing??

Voy a imprimir unas tarjetas de presentación por ambas caras y son 3 cambios, es decir, tarjetas para 3 personas impresas frente y vuelta. ¿Cómo debo de configurar el archivo ( tanto al diseñarlo como al exportarlo ) para que al exportarlo se creen 3 pdf separados, cada uno con frente y vuelta de cada tarjeta? Actualmente el archivo está como muestran estas imágenes: Gracias.   

There is a default spacing between the top of the text box (blue line) and the start of the text. How do I set my preferences so the top of the first line of text touches the blue line? This is super maddening when try to center text vertically. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How can I get my type on path options be part of the paragraph or character style?

This has been happening for about 6 months now. In the CC Libraries pane, when I try to drag anything into the bin icon at the bottom, the whole inside area of the pane moves/shuffles around (like dragging the scroll bars on a web page that isn't responsive, for example).    This results in me not being able to drag and drop anything into the bin, as the bin icon will always shuffle away from the mouse cursor.   It's bin annoying.                                        <Title renamed by MOD>      

Hi everyone, Hoping someone can help out. I have a document with about 200 references (footnotes). I need to swap the position of the full stop (or period) so that it appear after the footnote. For example, the current layout is:Sentence.Footnote(Or with numbers: Sentence.12)And I need:SentenceFootnote.(Sentence12.) Is there a way to use find and replace to swap these around? I can easily find the instances by using .^Fbut I don't know enough to code the swap. I don't fancy manually searching through 200 references to fix them all! Any help would be very much appreciated.ThanksAndy

I've created a multi-section 350-page book in InDesign. One section has mutliple sub-sections in it, and the running header (set up as a text variable on a parent page) is giving me problems on one single page. I use the section heading paragraph style to populate the text of the running header, and I've set up a character style called running header so that I can choose how much of the section heading text to include in the running header. My problem is that in this one subsection, "Resumes", page one's running header simply says "Resume", but all other pages correctly have the running header of "Resumes". I've checked that all letters of "Resumes" are correctly styled. I'm baffled. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Hi, Dear Friends! I think this question has been addressed before, but I don't recall the final verdict. Is there a way to have a certain PAR style cause the first word of that paragraph to have a certain character style? Or as a workaround to cause ID to format the first word of all, or some, paragraphs with a certain character style. Thank you, and have a good day!Susan Flamingo

I am hoping someone can help me with a lost InDesign file. I shared a design file for review, but I have since lost the original file when my computer and backup drives were stolen. The link for review only points to the shared version of the file, which is stored in the cloud. Is there a way to recover that file in inDesign or at least download a pdf version of it?

Hi all, I need to start my book so page 1 isn't the first single page but the second page. Please can someone explain how this is done? Or is there a way of just deleting the first single page and starting with a spread? Thank you!
