InDesign

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?

Hello everyone, can you please advise on how to share InDesign Projects with clients please?I have 300 .indd files in one indesign master file.Each of the 300 .indd files contains images and text.I used Package using the master file and get a folder with Links that contains all the images and all the 300 .indd files.Everything is great until I open the archive on another computer,  in this case, all links are missing and even if I relink the 300 .indd files, the images inside these 300 .indd files are not relinked even if they are on the Links folder.How to handle this situation?Thanks!Adrian

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.

Bonjour, J'ai installé InDesign 2025 sur mon nouveau macbook pro récemment (l'installation s'est faite automatiquement entre mes macbook pro).Hors depuis, je n'arrive pas redimensionner proportionnellement l'image et le cadre avec le bloc, comme je le faisait avant (autrment dit: modifier mes images en gardant la meme forme tout en ayant l'image qui suit la modification).  J'utilisais le racourcis clavier Maj + Cmd (mac) mais cela ne marche pas... Pour y parvenir je dois maintenant cocher la case ajustement automatique et ajuster le cadre à l'image manuellement et individuellement par image, ça me prend double de mon temps... Y a-t-il des beugs ou réglages à modifier?J'ai un clavier FR sur mon macbook pro, peut être c'est part du problème? Merci par avance.

HelloI have a doubt about how may I control the space that, by default, Indesign apply to the frames when I am creating a new frame and I press the arrow keys to select multiple rows and columns, hence creating new frames.I don't know if I am explaining this well.Let's take it with an example.I create a frame with the frame tool... so I click with the mouse and start to drag the frameI DO NOT REMOVE THE FINGER FROM THE MOUSE...And I press the arrow keys... now you see Indesign is creating files (up and down keys) or columns (left and right keys).When those frames are created, you see Indesign apply a space among them, which by default, has a measure in inches or millimiters.Well, I want to control that quantity of space among frames.How may I control this?If I did not explain this well, please, let me know and I will try again with a picture.Cheers

Hallo, Ich habe folgendes Problem: Wenn ich ein Dokument, welches die Adobe Open Sans beinhaltet, in inDesign öffne, poppt das Schriften-ersetzen Fenster auf. Das ist okay, denn ich möchte die Google-Version der Schrift (die hat mehr Schnitte), welche ich intalliert habe und nicht die Open Sans von Adobe.Wenn ich aber die Schriften korrekt ersetze ("Open Sans (OTF) Regular"= Adobe, gegen "Open Sans (TTF) Regular"=Google) springt der gesamte Text in den Textfeldern ein paar Pixel nach unten, was in einem festen Magazin Layout natürlich fatal ist! Wenn der Text am Raster verankert ist dann springt er nicht. Ich kann aber nicht alles an das Raster ketten, da es nicht überall anwendbar ist.Weiß jemand, warum der Text springt?Hat jemand eine Lösung?

Ive got strange issue I've never encountered before. I had a TOC misbehaving (with regard to the bookmarks it made). So used the Book function to import the TOC style from a properly behaving document.   On the surface, the bookmarks structure is correct, but under the hood, the Level 1 bookmark now points to the wrong document (the one I imported the TOC style from). So when I export the PDF, that bookmark doesn't work, and it just takes the user to the first page in the document.   Is there a way to relink a bookmark within InDesign, as part of an automatically generated TOC?   Or does someone know where this information exists that I might be able to edit the destination with some sort of script?

Can someone tell me if these boxes are relevant, and need to be checked on. And what do they do exactly? See screenshot. Thakns in advance.

I have a number of shapes in a group as part of a design. I wish to adjust the position of several group elements as follows:1. Double click the group to open it2. SHIFT+click the desired objectsThis is OK for the first two objects, but when I SHIFT+click the third object, all selected objects are deselected, and the parent group becomes selected.I can unselect individual objects if 2+ are selected, using the same method.This happens with 100% consistency.The objects can be selected as normal by meatballing them in the Layers panel.Indesign 13.1 x64 on Windows 7 x64 ProIs this a known bug? Will file as usual anyway.ThanksRichard

As part of my workflow I am often changing the layer visibility options on some (but not all) instances of the same object. I was looking at the batch_layer_visibility script by crazypanda and it almost does what I need, but it can only change every instance without finer control. Does anyone know of another existing script where you could either select just the objects you want to change, or apply the change to a specific range of pages? Or know how to modify this one to do this/have tips on how I could do it? I have some baseline scripting knowledge but I haven't made anything for indesign before. here's a link to the one I'm using now. Thanks!

Ein Text in InDesign ist mit fünf Überschriftenebenen (A. I. 1. a) aa)) gegliedert. Die Überschrift im Text und im Inhaltsverzeichnis soll die eine Überschriftenebene mit der entsprechenden Ziffer (beispielsweise a)) enthalten. Darüber hinaus sollen Textverweise erstellt werden können, die auf den gesamten Ausdruck mit allen Überschriftenebenen (also z.B. A. I. 1. a)) verweisen. Wie kann man das bewerkstelligen?

Hi. I have a pricelist which is set up in Indesign with item no. In a separate Excel file, I have the prices which I wish to match up with the correct item no.The list of prices is not sortet chronologically so that it matches the layout of the indesign file.    Is there any way that I can do this automatically, or do I need to type in the prices manually?Thank you.   <Title renamed by MOD>

How can I link section titles to the Table of Contents in InDesign? I’ve set up multiple sections in my document using section markers, and I want each section title to appear automatically in the TOC. However, they’re not showing up when I generate it. Am I missing a style setting or specific step to include section markers or titles in the TOC? Any guidance on how to properly structure this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It seems pretty common to have a name for each section of a document, but I can't find any way to specify a variable whose value can change by section. How does one do this?
