InDesign

Hello, how do I get rid of this message? It has been appearing since 21.2.“Adobe InDesign 2026” wants to access data from other apps.Thank you for your help and feedback.

I have this little floating panel all of a sudden and can't figure out how to hide it. I'll try and describe it. On the far left is a home button, next to it says Adobe InDesign 2023, to the right has a light bulb symbol and a blue share button, then my workspace name. then an Adobe Stock search bar. Its getting annoying just floating around. Its a horizontal skinny panel.

var productFrame = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add(); productFrame.properties = { strokeWidth : 0, fillColor : "None", contents : "!", flexItemHeightMode: FlexWidthHeightMode.FLEX_FILL };I get the error that “FlexWidthHeightMode is not defined”What am I missing?https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#TextFrame.html 

I’d like to see Adobe propagate AI-generated Alt-text descriptions back to the original image files’ metadata This currently would be a good idea for a coder to generate a script (e.g., copying from Object Export Options and updating via Bridge/Photoshop).

Hello, after the last post with at last count about 46k views, this is a major issue with a thread that is now missing? Some have said it has resolved but I haven’t been able to get it resolved because Windows Update KB5078127 isn’t available for me after checking for updates (in AUS running 25H2).The problem is that for files saved on OneDrive, InDesign crashes upon open or when trying to save.What another helpful user has said:Discovered a workaround on this, thanks to the help of our support company Air IT Group. On opening the file, make a change in the document (e.g add a cyan square to pasteboard), rather than 'save', click 'save as' and save as over the existing file name > then close the file > reopen the file again and 'save' function should now work without falling over, erroring or crashing out. Each time you open it for the first time, you'll need to do the 'save as' each time over existing file name for it to work. It's a frustrating workaround but at least you'll be

Hello, is anyone able to use InDesign now ?  I am experiencing a severe issue with InDesign where files are reported as corrupted, and I am unable to save them under any circumstances. When opening an older file, InDesign initially reported that some image links were missing. I relinked and updated all the images. After updating the images,  the file suddenly started showing as corrupted. Attempts to repair the file failed, and I could not save the file. To troubleshoot, I tried creating a completely new document. Even in a brand new file, as soon as I add a colour block to the parent page, InDesign immediately reports that the file is corrupted and will not allow saving (while it's a brand new file ?!) I have tried multiple versions of InDesign, including 2025 and 2026/21.1, and also reinstalled the software and reset preferences, disabled GPU preferences, but the issue persists.  Every time I attempt to add a certain colour block, the file becomes unsavable. I tried t

Bonjour,Dans InDesign, il serait astucieux d’avoir dans les styles de caractères, dans l’onglet “Exportation du balisage”, la  possibilité d’exporter notre style avec le choix PDF : Artefact. Très utile pour l’accessibilité afin d’automatiser, par exemple, la mise en Artefact des puces. Cordialement

Ich habe ein Problem in einer Indesigndatei.Hier ein Beispiel:Das Wort Arriaga wird mit 2 unterschiedlichen Glyphen für das kleine "a" dargestellt.Ich hätte aber gerne nur die Version, die links offen ist.Ich verstehe nicht, warum Indesign das macht!Ich habe schon an allen möglichen mir sinnvoll erscheinenden Einstellungen rumgeschraubt, aber nada.Kann mir da jemand weiterhelfen, bitte?Walter

we are needing PDF files for process into a document storage software….  the Print shop uses a .VPC file for the Xerox Free Flow that is driving the printers.  

i have so many swatches, when selecting the option to delete all unused, it doesn't go!

Hi, I need your help.  I save my InDesign files to my desktop computer. When I open the files, all the photos start to disappear and I get colored lines in place of the photos. I keep all of the linked photos in the same folder that InDsign file is saved. Can you help me understand why this is happening?   I do not want to drop the photos back into the layout as there are too many to drop back into the entire mulit-paged layout. Thank you so much! Cheers, Matt

Hi All, I have taken over a document from an ex colleague. It is set-up to iPad Pro (12.9in).He had massive images in small picture boxes that, when exported to an epub file, is approaching 1.4gb. I am in the process of streamlining and organising this document to see if I can drastically bring the exported file size right down. I have set-up a grid of picture boxes at 624px wide by 334px high. These will contain thumbnail images and, when converted to buttons, will take you to another page. To populate these picture boxes, I have set-up a Photoshop document at the same size as the picture boxes of 624px wide by 334px high and at 300ppi. The PSD has 32 layers, so I have used the Export Layers to Files option, but the images pulled-in to the picture boxes don’t not appear at the sizes the images have been exported to. They are all 624px wide by 334px high at 300 ppi but come in at 149.76px wide by 80.16px high but with the actual and effective ppi being 300. Am I missing something? Shou

 Hi, I'm trying to open some files I created in an older version of InDesign in the current version. All of the photos are appearing with this black box and coloured lines. The links to the photos are not broken. Does anyone know what the problem is?  Cheers,Elise 

I have big issues to export my Indesignfile to PDF. I really need help. I have tried all that I can find in Adobe Helpcenter. Restarted my Mac etc.  The error message I get is 'This document contains links to files/URLs that are not accessible.' Check your network connection or the original content source. And this: '2 issues (1 error) found with background data. Could not export PDF file.' 

I am sitting within an enterprise environment and have just discovered that I am unable to convert PDFs into InDesign. This was a problem before but was resolved by adding me to an enterprise group. All the settings from that group are still in place but I’m back to getting the error below. I successfully imported the same PDF into Illustrator, but when I tried to open the Illustrator file from InDesign, got the same error.Ideas?

I'm trying to edit a reference in the index, and it's not bringing up the option to edit the page range

Is it possible to round the corners of a table in InDesign?

How can I deactivate an installation I don’t have and can’t get to?

I make a biannual magazine that features academic articles from several different writers. I have spent time each magazine to try and figure out a way to make my footnotes start and end on specific pages and i can't seem to figure out a good system. I can get them to start over each spread, but the articles are different lengths so this only works if the article only spans across 1 spread. Is there a way to better customize the starting and ending pages for footnotes? I usually end up just highlighting the wrong number, making it transparent, typing the right number and formatting it like a footnote. I feel like theres gotta be a better way  

When I try to put a text box over a photo the text disappears but the text box shows. How do I get the text to show

I understand that this is a feature, not a bug. However, how do I make InDesign change existing text to match the edits to the style? It must be automatic -- I’m working in a 550 page document. I need to change the spacing above and below. I did a search & replace from the style to the same style, but that didn’t do it. I can tell that the changes haven’t been applied because when I’m in the text, the style name shows up with a + next to it.

I don’t know when this started or what caused it.When I open my document the blue wheel at the top keeps spinning constantly.After I click on the blue wheel another box opens titled Background Tasks and displays Adding Font and a blue line going back and forth to the right of the font name Times New Roman Regular.It does the constantly. What is this and how do I get it to stop.I have attached and image to show what I am talkign about.

This happens to me quite often, where there will be inconsistent spacing in normal lines, but often in the footnotes section. When I highlight the lines, they all have the same settings, and yet the spacing is clearly different. I’ve tried going in manually to just change the line spacing on just the lines that are different and the number on the dial goes down but nothing budges on the actual document. 

Constrain proportions for width and height in InDesign 2025 (20.0) is broken. In previous versions of InDesign the constrain-status would stay the way you selected always, now you have to link it every time you scale something, it's quite annoying and adds an extra step to workflow.   <Title renamed by MOD>  

Hey gang,Help me get this straight, please, as I experiment with newer things:An INDD file is operated within the InDesign application on desktop. OK, I know that.An INDDC file is an InDesign file converted to be stored in the Adobe Cloud. Is that the same as what you put into a Project folder? For sharing?But what about Share for Text Editing? Is there now a 3rd InDesign filetype? What is an INDDL file? Only for collaboration with the awkwardly-named “InCopy on the web (beta)? Are there 2 cloud-based versions of the InDesign document?How does anyone accomplish any version control with this arrangement?
