InDesign

Hello, Can someone help me with this problem?I have downloaded a package that my friend sent to me but I don't know why I'm seeign her images like that .   <Title renamed by MOD>        

Problem:     I was trying to match Linespacing via word or google docs of 1.15 to InDesign. I have googled the conversion between linespacing and Leading and contacted Adobe assistance. It seems the exact number should be 12.65 agreeably. However, if I print the copy on google on white paper and then from Indesign on transparencey  and overlay the two the leading is way off.  There are no over sized texts. The text was copied and pasted perfectly and the font, style, font size, and paragraph indicators are all the same and I ensured the leading would be 12.65 throughout. Target is to get exact print match Bookman oldstyle Regular 11pt font 12.65 LeadingBaseline grid is off Snap to grid is offAll text is the same (selcet all to check)The text is in a text boxText box object paremeters is aligned to topAuto sizing is off Solution:It was determined that by all indications the assumed number 12.65 provided on many platforms was inorrec

Is anyone having issues when pasting transparent vectors from illustrator into Indesign 17.2?Opacity seems to be removed altogether. This workflow has been successful with previous versions. 

Bonjour,J'ai un problème avec le chargement de la lettre U (en majuscule) de la Police Forma DJR Banner Medium (ça marche en thin, regular, bold, etc et en minuscule mais pas en medium MAJUSCULE) sur PC. Ceci n'est valable que sur PC, ça marche sur MAC. Comment contacter Adobe poru qu'ils arrangent cela. Merci pour votre aide 

I'm placing German text into InDesign. The text is coming from Word and has the German language setting applied to it. However, when placed I'm constantly running into the problem of the German close quote facing the wrong way. So for instance, instead of coming in as „Weltschmerz“ (where the close quote is the equivalent of an English open quote mark) it comes in as „Weltschmerz" (where the close quote is the same as an English close quote). I'm certain my German friends don't have to deal with this...they'd be jumping up and down. So what am I doing wrong?

We’ve added more than 1,500 new fonts to Adobe Fonts, including many of the most popular fonts of all time from Monotype. This is our largest font expansion in five years – and it comes at no extra cost.   https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2025/04/08/more-than-1500-new-fonts-including-all-time-favorites-come-to-adobe-fonts 

I'm creating a collection of PDFs from google docs and although copy and pasting from docs to indesign works pretty well, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the links to paste as well. Seems like a lot of work to go back into the indesign documents to select words and then create hyperlinks which is actually kind of a clunky process to begin with.

I have installed INDD CC2023 version 18.1.0.051The "Package" option is not availble.  It is grayed out.Running Catalina for the Mac OS.Any thoughts?

It seems like a lot of plugins, font packing scripts can't pack composite fonts.What's the best way to do it?

Hello,Thank you for this forum; I hope you can help me and thank you very much.I have a problem with the order of the pages referenced in a generated index.I have composed a 340 page book with many index marks; the index generation works correctly, but the pages are not in the order of the book.This is an example (the problem is the same in almost all of de 728 index entries) :It drives me crazy...Thank you very much in advance.Jonas.

With nested styles: is there any way to control the last character of an irregular paragraph. For example, the two paragraphs below are basically the same, except that the first paragraph has two extra sets of brackets.I now want to use only one paragraph style, nested control of the last "(Idealism)" and "(Best Memories)". Characterless styles are applied to the text before them. Is it possible? Or do I have to use regular? I feel that nested styles are rigid and inflexible.

This has never been an issue before. My document is in English: USA, this has never changed or been reset to something else. My brochure that I'm designing has content that has already been edited and peer-reviewed and contains zero spelling errors. InDesign has almost every single word underlined in red, and suggests spelling changes to what APPEARS to be French, but by no means can I speak French, so I'm not sure. I will say that this template in InDesign was provided to my company by our sister company in Germany. I've asked them what language it was created in and they claim it was created in English: USA. I think that this HAS to be related to the issue, but I'm not sure. Other documents do NOT have this problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi guys I have search the internet for a solution to converting an old PageMaker file, so i will be able to open it again. The answer seems to be Adobe InDesign CS6 - which i do not have. CS6 should be able to open PageMaker files and then save them as a indesign file. Thats is why im looking for a kind soul, who has CS6, and is willing to help me convert the file. Link to file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u5bY0H0U_um0eeAt1GT1iiaSCzFliuy6/view?usp=drive_link Kind regardsPeder 

InDesign will no longer package files even if they're saved locally and working locally. The package process starts but never completes. My files are small in size (13MB), I'm running the latest INDD using macOS Sonoma 14.3.

I wrote the below code to get username + hostname within Indesign. Works on windows but doesnt work on mac. It justs brings back username@null. I assume its not possible to get hostname through Indesign. But can someone offer a solution or direct me to the right place. My goal is to limit the scripts I wrote to a specific computer with a unique identifier. If I can only do it with username than I guess that would have to do.Any suggestion would be very helpful. Thank youvar userName = $.getenv("USERNAME") || $.getenv("USER"); // For Windows/macOSvar computerName = $.getenv("COMPUTERNAME") || $.getenv("HOSTNAME");var uid = userName + "@" + computerName;alert("Detected UID:\n" + uid);

Below are my own notes that I made in Swedish while investigating a problem where InDesign documents, as well as exported PDFs and IDML versions of the same document, were 15 MB too large.I have had it automatically translated into English to help as many people as possible: Sometimes you encounter InDesign documents that, upon export, result in enormous PDF files, without any obvious explanation. A page with just a few lines of text can result in a 15 MB PDF file, even with the [Smallest file size] option selected.The explanation may lie in the document's metadata. Perhaps you received the document from an advertising agency that used IgniteTech's Xinet, and the document, for some reason, went through their software.This was the cause in my case. It was components (programs) from XINET that had written a large number of JPEG image files in the form of base64-encoded sections in the XMP data; even with export and countless attempts to resave the file in different formats, the XMP

Wondering if someone can assist with this problem. Our workplace has installed InDesign for me on a Windows based computer. The QR code generator works well for others in the office (Mac users). For me, it is producing thick lines and I cannot see how to adjust them. The QR code still works but it looks wonky ... more like a blob. How can I fix this?Me: vs. colleague 

This problem has been going on forever, but as I'm doing more and more work at the office and at home each week, this has become unbarable. Problem: If I use InDesign (current latest version) on my laptop, and then plug in my external screen, all content becomes "hidden", and the only way to get it back is to quit InDesign and start it again, opening up all files manually. The same then happens, when I remove my external display. So this happens twice per day. Any suggestions for how to solve this problem? 

Liebe CommunityWir haben aktuell ein wiederkehrendes Problem mit Adobe InDesign Version 20.2 auf macOS 15.4 (Swquia):Sobald wir in bestehenden Dokumenten Text in Textrahmen oder Tabellen bearbeiten (auch ohne jegliche Formatierung), springt der Text in der vertikalen Position.

Hi all,  I am creating an interactive pdf that needs to  contain a table that is currently formatted for a landscape A4 print. The interactive pdf is being formatted to be predominantly used on Mobile devices, and the landscape format of the table does not work well with a portrait layout. Trying to turn the phone landscape doesn't work unless the user turns on the orientation lock - which will never happen.The table is a parts list for various size scaffolding structures. Columns 1,2&3 are the part number, part description and unit weight - all of which have to be kept. Columns 4-25 are the columns that show the relevant qty of parts required for 21 different heights of tower that can be made. Only one of these columns is really needed at any one time.I have been trying to find a way of incorporating horizontal scrolling and/or horizontal accordions to be able to view the whole table. The other thought I had was to use buttons/combo boxes that let you pick the corre

Please help, I have been trying to sort this myself but have drawn a blank so far.  I have created a list in InDesign and every item is bullet pointed. Some of the items start with Lato Light others use Lato Black. However, I cannot seem to control the weight of the font for the bullet piont itself, which means I have inconsistency across the document. How do I control this? 

Bonjour,J'aurais besoin d'aide, car je tente depuis plusieurs jours de résoudre un problème assez gênant, car je pensais que c'était la police de caractères qui posait problème, mais ce n'est pas du tout le cas.Donc le problème est le suivant, je crée un titre vertical grâce aux options disponibles avec le texte curviligne, mais au moment où je règle l'espace entre les caractères pour enlever le chevauchement des lettres lorsque je sélectionne "marche d'escalier", au moment où je trouve le bon espacement, et bien la dernière lettre est toujours décalée, j'ai tenté d'autres polices, et d'autres lettres, rien n'y fait, la dernière lettre reste toujours décalée. Est-ce que quelqu'un aurait une solution ? (J'ai la dernière version de InDesign, et je n'ai jamais eu ce problème auparavant, je mets également une capture d'écran du problème)En remerciant tout ceux qui pourront m'aider. Belle journée à tous.

Indexing newbie, second question for the day I am using Adobe ME because I work in English and Hebrew. My cross references ("see", "see also") are coming up in Hebrew instead of English. It's not just the style as it's actually translated the word for "see". How can I change this so that it indexes in English?
