InDesign

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? 

A few times a week I experience instability with Indesign. For example, I just had to close the program because when I clicked File>New>Document the new doc window that opens would not allow me to select any options and would not create a new doc when I clicked the button. I couldn't select 'CLOSE' either. Indesign became complete locked up because the 'New Document' window stayed open and I couldn't close it without a force quit.This occurs randonly and not just when creating a new document. I could be working on a job I've had opened all day and it will become unresponsive. There are times where I get odd color blocks showing up in my layout but its just on screen. This only happens when I work in Indesign.I want to go back to a more stable version but I've already created so much in version 20.2 and sometimes I get reverse-compatability issues. Anyone else have issues with an unresponsive UI?   

I'm having trouble with paragraph styles in InDesign not updating across the entire document when I make changes. I've modified a style, but only some text reflects the update, while others remain unchanged even though they're supposedly using the same style. Is there a reason why this happens, and how can I ensure all instances update properly? I'm using InDesign 2024 on Windows. Any help is appreciated!

Is there a way to edit publish online files/links in the team. I only see the possibility for me alone but not my whole adobe team?

Hi all, I've got a new macbook book and updated all my adobe apps, but the colour books aren't showing pantone swatches. Thanks for any help! .

Color settings are displayed as synchronized. Working color spaces RGB: eciRGV v2, CMYK: PSO Coated v3 are defined in the setting. However, Indesign 2025 loses these “global” settings. Instead, newly created documents use other working color spaces...     <Title renamed by MOD>

I'm working on a large document (200+ pages) and want to use GREP styles to automate formatting, such as applying character styles to dates, numbers, or specific patterns. However, I'm concerned about potential performance issues or unintended formatting. Are there any tips or best practices for setting up GREP styles efficiently in long documents? Should I limit their use, or are there specific patterns that are known to cause slowdowns?

Hi allHope you can help with the below.  I am working with EasyCatalog plugin for InDesign and am trying to extract certain data from a cell with a function in a Custom Field Options. This is the usual data in the cell:  <p>Yarn: 100% New Zealand Thin Wool or Tencel</p> <p>– Primary backing: 100% Polyester</p> <p>– Backing: 100% Polyester</p> <p>– Pile Height: 16mm</p> I need to extract "Pile Height: (and the numbers) ". I spend the last 2 days reading about REGEX expressions etc. and I can't manage to do that no matter how I try. Could someone have any ideas? Many thanks!Miro.

Say I have a 10 page InDesign document. Each page is fairly small. When I go to print out those proofs, can I print all 10 pages on one sheet of paper? Or do I have to copy each layout separately onto a new document to group them? Just to save paper really.ID CS3

Pursuant to my recent posting: The fonts are activated and installed, yet they don't appear as avaialble in the document. They appear twice in the replace fonts menu. Are they cancelling themselves out? How do I stop this? I've deleted the preferences repeatedly. I guess I'll try deleting and reinstalling the program.Auto actiate doesn't work.

Hi This is driving me crazy!!!So I have made over 200 datasheets within InDesign which use MontSerrat Bold & Montserrat Regular fonts.All has been going great but I open up one of the files today and I get a message stating that I have missing fonts?? But the warning box states Montserrat (OTF) Bold: & Montserrat (OTF) Regular: couldn't be found.I do not understand where the "(OTF) came from? I don't have any fonts that are written like that ????Help Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.Working on Windows 10 and I have updated InDesign.

It doesn't matter if I select rows in the table, or just have the insertion point in it. "Redefine style" is always greyed out in the Table panel. 

I can find no way to show this thing after it (inexplicably) disappears, making it impossible to manage styles among the files in your book. I've even tried re-opening the indb file; that does absolutely nothing... even if you close all open files. In addition to that problem: Is there a way to have styles sync across a book automatically, instead of having to continually select every file in the book and re-sync? 

I have a text box that sits under a custom shape so it makes it looks like the copy underneath sits within the shape (AB-123). Is there a way in InDesign to have a custom shape and have it editible and expand to the right as the copy grows? And is it possible to keep it within this main text box?

After several hours of work, my file no longer opens. It says, "Unable to complete your request due to database error." Are you able to help me?
