InDesign

I don't want to see fonts in alphabets other than English. I don't want to see English fonts that I never use? How do I turn them off? 

WHY?  It's one of the most used tools in my arsenal!!!

Hi everyone, can anyone please help, I must have done something wrong, as my Page numbering has gone wrong it is going 3, then 2, instead of 2, then 3, for example. See attached. Kind regards Alex

I was using InDesign last night, with the most recent updates installed. This morning, the app is uninstalled on my laptop. When I open Creative Cloud, it says the app IS installed on my laptop but needs an update. When I try to update it gets stuck at 93% and won't go any further. Help? 

No knockout spaces, no scripting.How to dot automatically indent 4mm when on the first line (no characters before it). It's best to use canonical.Is it possible to realize?  

We are an IT company and at one Tenant with Adobe CC 2024 we are seeing intermittend crashing of Indesign 2024 (latest version as of now, 19.5.0.84).  It happens when the user opens or saves a document from an Azure SMB File Share.   The Error in the Application Eventlog: Faulting application name: InDesign.exe, version: 19.5.0.84, time stamp: 0x6685c284Faulting module name: dynamic-torqnative.dll, version: 7.4.2.0, time stamp: 0x65fc0bfd Exception code: 0xc0000005   I tried to install Adobe Indesign 2023, but 2023 crashes also.  Completely removing Adobe CC and reinstalling does not solve the issue. The tenant is using Azure Virtual Desktop (shared pooled desktop). They have 2 Hosts, both have the same issue. Issue started about 2 weeks ago.   Can anyone help me in troubleshooting this issue?   <Title renamed by MOD>  

Hello everyone!I've been having a rather annoying problem since I changed my PC. When I move a block (image, text, etc.), I get a display problem that completely hides the layer, preventing me from seeing or placing the block properly. I mostly work on templates that already have a grid layer on the page, which helps with positioning image and text blocks on the right place. This problem does not occur when I move the block in normal view, but when I display the ‘complete’ view, this annoying display bug appears. I have made a short video and a print screen to show the problem I am encountering :Adobe InDesign / Display glitchAny ideas? I am using InDesign 20.2 / Windows 10. Thanks

I am designing a book for Print on Demand at Ingramspark. The first hardcover proof with its premium paper arrived and all the images are too light. The paperback proof copy also arrived with light images - as well as light text. The resolution was fine.There are about 150 images What is the best way for me to maintain or increase the highest color saturation of each image while meeting the printer’s 240%TAC limit?Is there something to know about the type blackness? I have set the color for all text to be 100%K in InDesign.All images are Photoshop TIFFS already converted to CMYK at 300dpi.I am using InDesign to create the book.This is a book intended for young audiences. All the illustrations are by children and do run pretty "light" in color, but I am seeing total loss of certain areas of illustrations made in pencil, for example. Appreciate any advice. I am in touch with Ingramspark, but getting no real actionable advice, other than to refer to their file set up guide.  Hav

HelloHow can I export print booklet to pdf in indesign in mac?

Hi,I'd appreciate any help with the following. First, I'll describe the problem, to estabish context and also open the door for anyone who has a better suggestion than my proposed solution.The ProblemI produce a large range of product documents (user guides, product inserts etc) which use a consistent set of styles. The styles are maintained in their own InDesign document. Every time I edit a document, first thing I do is re-import all the styles, to make sure it's got the latest. This is cumbersome but I don't know of any other way to keep them all in sync. Several paragraph stylesheets (currently: 4) have numbering styles that contain text prefixes: Appendix, Chapter, Table, and Figure. (Each has its own list style.)Once the English version of a document is ready, it goes to our outsourced translation service. I give them a separate copy of the English 'source document' for each target language. We currently have 4 languages other than English but that will increase over time.Th

Hi team.I guess this is something to do with my colour set up.basically I am in the process of creating some simple one colour graphics in illustrator. And in illustrator they look just how I want nice and vibrant.However once I place them into indesign they look dull and lifeless. This would not bother me except when I export to PDF from indeisgn that dull lifeless image is carried to the PDF.If I PDF from illustrator it looks just how I want.Frustratingly in the links panel of indesign that same great colour is there but I cannot for the life of me work out why in the document it looks dull and int he PDF too, I really need help on this as its for a tender which needs to be in by the end of the weekend.To clarify I am not worried so much about absolute colour correction, i.e. calibrating screens etc, my problem is illustrator looks great, indesign looks dull.

Hi all! My goal is to have text update across pages and maintain the paragraph style on the page.  As you can see in the above example, when I change the text (story) on page one (black text color) then try to update the link to page two (red text color) I get the message 'Edits have been made in linked story "<Page 1>".  You will lose these edits by updating. Update anyway?'  Which is telling me that my edits (paragraph style/red color) on page two will be lost when I update the link.  That's what I don't want!  I want to maintain the edits when updating the link so that the text on page 2 stays red (or sized differently etc) even when the text (story) changes.  I tried using the 'Link Options: Story and Objects' (pictured below) panel by selecting both links in the links panel, right clicking and selecting 'link options' which gives me the checkboxes for Appear under 'Preserve Local Edits while Updating Object Links'  This seems like

Latest version of  Indesign (20.2)   is removing  bold fonts  on some of the pages.    I reverted back to  20.0  and working ok 

I have a 38-page document created in InDesign 20.3 x64 (Windows 11) for print. I need to publish the document online. I created a menu on the master page with a pancake to get the menu to appear. In the menu, I created a separate button for each of the publication's sections. I then set the GO TO PAGE to each of the respective pages. When I publish the document online the menu does what I want it to do, but when I click on the section buttons, the links go to the wrong page. It looks like the links are all off by 2 pages. I've tried doing the links as hyperlinks, which does not work.The community has been so helpful to me in the past, and I appreciate everyone's help. Hope you all can help again.

Good day -I'm trying to work on a design document, but since updating InDesign 2025, when I'm scrolling pages in the document, I get the spinning beachball.Currently I'm working on a MacBook Pro - Apple M2, and using Sonoma 14..7.5 Does this mean I need to look into upgrading to the Sequoia MacOS? Or is there another work-around? I've forced InDesign to quit, and restarted my computer a couple of times. And rather than doing the recovery thing again, I said no to that when reopening InDesign (didn't do anything the first couple of times I did say yes to that)Thanks in advance!

I have been using Calibre to create and design reflowable ePubs from PDFs. My process has been to convert the PDF into an ePub file and then reformatting the ePub for widespread use across various devices. I have heard that some ebook designers use Indesign to create and design their ebooks. However, a quick Google search tells me that they only use Indesign for fixed-format ePubs, not for reflowable ePubs. Is all of this true? Should I invest in an Indesign subscription or stick with Calibre? What are some things Indesign can do that 1) Calibre cannot do and 2) would be helpful to me as an ebook designer?

I'm replacing data in a table in a multi-page catalog document. In the past, I've been able to copy a column (or multiple columns) from Excel, highlight the corresponding columns in InDesign and then paste them. And it's worked as expected--the data in InDesign is updated with the proper data. But, for the last year, when I try to copy and paste from Excel into an InDesign table, InDesign creates extra rows and columns of empty data.  In the second part of this short video, I highlight the cells in InDesign that shouldn't be there.    

What does this icon mean in the links panel?

I may be expecting InDesign to do something it isn't designed to do but, as with Illustrator & Photoshop, I expect to be able to see a checkerboard where there is transparency & I can't figure out how to show that.   Is that an option?

Hello, I have had Indesign 2023 , and just formatted my computer. When reinstalling from the creative cloud I have now the latest version which is nothing like the 2023. I really don't like this new version and find it is not user friendly. I tried installing an earlier version but the earliest was 19.0 and it was exactly the same. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

My client wants to use the Adobe Cloud commenting features to review and make edits for a report im working on. After creating the Share for Review Link with my "Company X"contact and an external group that reviews as well, I would like to now disable the external group's ability to comment. Everyone was told a "Pens down" date for no additional comments for this round so we can make edits and prepare the next draft, but there are people that continue to make comments on it - which is proving complicated to keep trac of now.The only way I see is to UNSHARE the document - but that unshares it with my "CompanyX" contact who needs to see all those comments and make sure I have implimented them. Im sure Im missing something simple because if I cant keep people from commenting this is going to turn into a nightmare.

I'd need to create numbered headers that dynamicly link to a footers or running header at the base of the  Page (see attched visual).  

Hello,I am creating some word search puzzles using Tables. I have all the letters centered vertically and horizontally in the cells using styles. Everthing looks perfect in indesign but once exported to PDF the last 1-2 rows of every table are shifted to the left/right side. I used a monospaced font to make sure everything looks even but these last rows are not cooperating. Please see photo below:     Photo below this is the same as above but with strokes around the cells so it's easier to see. Top row everything is centered. As it moves down it moves more and more to the side. Again, this is only how it looks AFTER exporting. In Indesign every is aligned perfectly.I tried adding diagonal strokes to the cells just to see what happens when exported and then everything was magically aligned... See pic below: So... then I tried keeping the diagonals in the cells but setting the stoke weight to 0pt aaaand everything is misaligned again. I found a super cr

There have been a series of changes in the past two years or so around how InDesign exports EPUB, specifically around accessibility improvements. If you'd like to know more about the how and why of those changes, I encourage you to attend this webinar where we'll go over what's changed, what will be updated soon, and what's left to fix up.  Link to the signup page.
