InDesign

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

Buenas, acabo de descargar creative cloud de escritorio, estoy probando InDesign versión 18.3, por 7 días, pero cuando quiero exportar en publish online me sale Error # 102.

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! 

I'm trying to export my work in indesign to a pdf and the colors of the images always change. The images were made in photshop and are linked to the file, the shape (that looks like a star) was made in illustrator and it didn't chage colors... The first picture below is part of the work in indesign and the second is part of the export pdf. When exported to jpg and epub the colors stay the same. I need my work on pdf, can anybody help me?

So I already have a script that selects all the images in a document and resizes them (see below) which I use all the time. Was wondering if there were some lines I could add to the script (or a seperate script) that would align all the images to the center (both horizontially and vertically) of their respective pages. I'm working with 300-page documents containing off-center images so an automated centering script would save me a lot of manual work. Current script for selecting/resizing all images:var myDoc = app.activeDocument; var graphlength = myDoc.allGraphics.length; for(a=0; a<graphlength; a++) { myDoc.allGraphics[a].absoluteHorizontalScale = 113; myDoc.allGraphics[a].absoluteVerticalScale = 113; } 

Using Data merge, you can merge a data source file (CSV or TXT) to create multiple versions of an InDesign document. It is possible that you encounter error messages in this process. See the table below for the common error messages associated with data merge and how to troubleshoot them.    Error Message  Reason  Solution  The data source cannot be opened.  When the source file (exported from Microsoft Excel as a CSV or TXT file) is still open in the application.   Close the Microsoft Excel document and try again.  The selected data source has one or more empty field names.  One or more field name in the header row is missing. These include blank columns as well which must have a field name.  Check the source file for missing field names.  Remove any blank columns.  The data source file you selected either has no record

Hi, I was given a manual to be updated but it is in PDF (They dont have the original file) So I wonder how can I import the content to Indesign and work from there.There are some plugins I can use but they charge 100 dollarsAny Ideas instead of paying  100 dollars-plugin?

Please see the attached video for a visual representation of what's happening. I've been using ID since the beta version way back in '99. But in one of the recent updates text wrap suddenly acting bizzare for me. Maybe I bumped a dumb setting somewhere? When I turn on text wrap for an image frame, it seems the wrap is applied to the content inside the image frame and not the actual frame - even when I specifically select the frame. That's fine, except when the content inside the frame doesn't entirely fill the frame (again, check the vid to see why this sux). My workaround is that I have to select the frame contents (SHIFT+ESC), cut it (CTRL+X), then set the text wrap settings to the empty frame... Then paste my image back into the box with "Paste into" (CTRL+ALT+V) so it's exactly where it was before I cut it. This doesn't seem normal. Just dumb and cumbersome (Dumbersome?). Is it a bug? Or a weird setting?

For aligning one or two points, the best way is probably to enter coordinate values, but can it be a bit slow sometimes.Wouldn't it be cool to have this feature in the alignment panel.

Does anyone have a script to override and remove master page items on the pasteboard?

Hi, I have a problem with InDesign for Kannada Unicode font. When we type words Like Busnalli (Means: In Bus) in Kannada as ಬಸ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ, it is correctly demonstrated in MS word, Browser and all over. but when i call it into InDesign it will add Busnalli as ಬಸ್ನಲ್ಲಿ. Just like Carnalli (Means: in car), ಕಾರ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ- ಕಾರ್ನಲ್ಲಿ., Fonts (ಫಾಂಟ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ- ಫಾಂಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ), Internet (ಇಂಟರ್‌ನೆಟ್‌- ಇಂಟರ್ನೆಟ್‌), etc.... The font developer saying it is the problem of InDesign.

I’m having an issue with adding gifs with rounded corners in InDesign.  I added it to the page and changed them to rounded corners, and it looks fine in InDesign, but when I upload the PDF to “Publish Online”, they’re all changed to sharp corners again. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

How would I remove a character symbol within a set of words?  The example below has "~" that needs to be removed from the description.Huggable Suit Hangers~ Black Pkg/10 Thanks in advance

I want to use the same Illustrator shape in two different colors in InDesign (the original, which will be used with Color blending mode to affect the background, and plain white as an icon). I can't just copy/paste the path and use fill color (however tempting that might be) because I want to retain the link to Illustrator so that if I change the path there, all instances in InDesign will change accordingly. I tried different blending modes and looked through the effects, but nothing seems to do it. I was originally trying to do this project (a set of scifi book covers) mainly in Photoshop, but it was extremely slow and cumbersome, and I realized that most of it could be done much more easily in InDesign, which is also the Adobe app I'm most proficient in by far. But this little thing was possible in Photoshop with a Black-and-White smart filter, whereas I can't figure it out in InDesign.Alternatively, if there is a way in Illustrator to have two paths that are somehow "parent and

Hello As a frequent user of InDesign, I've been finding the limited functionality and slowness to rename objects within a layer a pain. Compared to other Adobe products like Premiere Pro, where you can press the spacebar to easily rename layers, InDesign is slow and painful. I've reached out to the customer service support many times with no avail to help this issue. I was recently told that "For assistance with exact script, you should post your query on Adobe Support Community, an expert from Adobe Engineering Team should be able to help" so I'm looking for help here.  With some research, I found multiple forums that support the idea that a script can be created to overcome the renaming issue. The scripts allow a batch rename of layers or objects within a layer all at once, so it doesn't need to be done manually. Here are some links to those forums:https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/indd-script-for-renaming-within-layers/td-p/9649122https://community.ado

HI,Is there an easy way to modify this old script, linked below, so that it also creates character styles based on the color applied to the text? For example if the text is bold and red it creates the character style bold_red.https://creativepro.com/perfectpreptext-a-smart-way-to-style-local-formatting/Thanks 

Thanks to all of you, and special thanks to @m1b  @rob day But don't spray me, the scripts are definitely useful to a lot of people.I've asked before, but the thought process isn't very clear.I've made a few attempts, but it takes more than one script to accomplish it, and more than one sometimes messes it up, which is irritating. Two directions:A. Sometimes, for a new table, do the basic settings.      1. Apply table style:mytab and set the minimum row height to 7mm.      2. Set the table header while adding Continue rows.          (1) Select possible table header rows (e.g. row[0] row[1]).         (2) At the same time, in the table at the top of the increase in a blank line, set the exact line height of 5mm, merge and fill in "Continue", and the application of cell style "Continue".　         (3) conversion (1) and (2) to the header, and set up to skip the heade

In addition to entering coordinate values.When I move C down, how do I monitor “interval AC == interval AB”

I want to know if theres a way to paste mutuple images into a single image frame. I have a lot of product images that have transparent backgrounds in my creative cloud library that I use in my designs. I often layer them on top of one another and currently I make 2 seperate image frames stacked on top of one another. This gets difficult when I have a lot of stacked images on a page. Im wondering if theres a better way to place them, I want to be able to place more than one image into the same frame, like the way I do in illustrator with clipping masks.Is this possible or does anyone have a better solution?
