InDesign

I’ve cleared preferences through library, and when starting indesign.It has several bugs randomly appearing. eg. Suddenly can’t undo, takes ages to quit, there’s a slight delay importing images...

It opened fine yesterday, I shut down the app. Then this morning, it just will not open,

I saved a document from my Adobe files to my computer, but whenever I try to open it, the application crashes with a fatal error. Does anyone have a solution?

II use the Turkish version of InDesign. Can I install the English and Arabic supported version on my computer?

I keep getting this when I try to open up indesign. I have updated to the most recent edition and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign. Please help I need to submit an assignment tomorrow.

Sometimes my table doesn’t quite fill the text box, so I have to manually adjust the row height, which takes several attempts and is quite a hassle.Is there a way to use a script to adjust the row height of the table body so that the text box is quickly aligned at the bottom?

Acrobat, Illustrator, and all other apps print without any issues.The HP M806 printer driver sends jobs correctly to the local IP address, the printer app is installed, and all required settings are available. However, when printing from InDesign, the pages come out completely blank—no toner on the paper—while all other applications work normally.Workaround:Select “HP Universal Printing PS” as the printer in InDesign. This reroutes the job and does produce correct output. It is slower than printing normally, but still faster than exporting to PDF and printing from Acrobat.

When open InDesign 2026 on a screen with very high resolution, some icons get double size in docke panel: This is only seen on a Mac with arm-processor. When open InDesign on the build-in (retina) screen, everything looks fine.I found the post “InDesign 2023: Big icon in docked panel”. But the solution described there, did not solve the problem.Any ideas how to solve this?

Hi everyone ~I have a question—I’m not sure if there’s a solution:I have multiple versions of Photoshop, but sometimes I only want to use the version located in a specific directory.For example, “C:\Ps2026\Photoshop.exe”.Is there a way to use a script in InDesign to open an image using the this specific path　Photoshop.exe ?You can copy the directory containing the installed Photoshop.exe to the C drive to test it.Thank you.

The Control panel menu (gear), hamburger, and lightning bolt icons are unresponsive. I particularly miss the link to "no break".) I'm using version 20.5 on Windows 11 Pro. I reset preferences and rebooted but that did not help. Thanks...

Since a week or two I often don’t see a document name when I try to save a document. So I open an older document and when I try to ‘Save as’ the document name spot is empty. See screenshot.  Behind ‘Bewaar als:’ there usually is the document name! There also is no document name when I try to save the document as a pdf. Not all documents have this problem: some do and some don’t.I wonder why there is no document name with some documents… and of course I also wonder how I can prevent this from happening. Is there a setting I accidentally enabled or disabled…?I am on macOS and use the latest version of everything. 

I’m having a major issue with moving and modifying any textboxes created and any images once placed. Additionally, if I open a new tools icon, I cannot move the icon or drag it to the toolbar. I have spent hours trying to reinstall previous versions, modify settings in InDesign, and modify settings on my Surface Book 2 laptop with no luck and it’s wasting valuable time. I’m in desperate need for some kind of guidance or help on possible solutions to fix this issue. Please help! 

I frequently create brochures, and at some point in the project without fail the share for review link stops allowing me to update content. The review links are an integral part of our workflow, and for my non-brochure work they are fine (although I have to update those less frequently), but with my brochure documents it will allow me to create a new link, but after that I can no longer publish any changes. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign, turned off and on countless times, ensured the document I’m updating is the only one open, packaged then opened the idml and re-saved the document to indd. It just doesn’t work, and it’s really frustrating to explain to our clients that their comments have gone because we had to make a new link (or they get confused, comment on an old link and we don’t make the updates). Any ideas?

Im having a problem that all my settings are on high quality display performance, images are linked but only show up not glitchy when I zoom in and out on it. Using a Mac and the newest adobe update. Any Ideas? It's making it very dificult and ruining my work flow. Need help resolving this ASAP.  Thans!    <Title renamed by MOD>

InDesign is doing this semi freeze thing when I place or replace images. Random images and random formats. The background task hoop turns on and I can do somethings sometimes but not always. If I close everything then close the program there is a message but it's up for a half a second, disappears and then a new start window opens then refuses to do anything else. I have to "End Task" to get it to close. I've deleted tempfiles, uninstalled and reinstalled, turned off GPU, and did that Ctrl + Alt + Shift thing.

HiEach time I import an image into Indesign, the image loads okay, but I get the blue swirling ‘loading’ icon that never stops. I can save my document, and the menus still work but I can’t work on the actual page, and the only way I can clear it it to Force quit Indesign using Task Manager. This started about 2 weeks ago, and was fine before and I haven’t made any changes to my PC. I thought maybe it started after an update of Indesign, so I tried reverting to an older version, but still had the same problem.I have tried re-installing Indesign. (version21.3)  I use Windows 11.I really hope you can help please?Thanks Chris

For the past month or two, any time I try to Place a file or update a Placed file, InDesign usually freezes. The cursor turns into the spinning circle. I can close and save the files after this, but cannot close the InDesign app. I try various ways to place the files. File > Place or Ctrl D or copy and paste the placed file from another InDesign file. The files I use are typically on my Google Drive and I’ve installed the Drive app on my machine.This is REALLY getting annoying. Adobe used to be so good with bugs. Any ideas? I’ve read a few posts that say they thought version 21.3 fixed this issue but I’ve still got it.I’ve reset preferences, cleared old versions of InDesign, reinstalled InDesign. InDesign 21.3Core i9 processorWindows 11 home64 GB RAM500+ GB hard drive space Thanks in advance for any tips.

Hi there,I'm working in InDesign CC 13.1 and all of a sudden I'm unable to move my objects around my page. I can select them with the Selection Tool, can copy and paste, and can select and move object anchor points however I can't drag and move the objects/text frames.Is this a glitch and do I need to reinstall or have I accidentally pressed a keyboard shortcut that locks things from moving? I've closed down the application and tried other files too but it's the same across the board. Illustrator and Photoshop are fine...Any urgent help would be greatly appreciated! TIA.

Bonjour,Mes repères commentés sur Indesign ne fonctionnent plus. Ils sont pourtant bien cochés, mais grisés. “Command U” n’y fait rien.  J’ai également déjà désactivé le magnétismes des repères et magnétisme de la grille, puisque j’ai vu que ça pouvait être une solution sur d’autres forums. Mais rien n’y fait. J’ai mis à jour InDesign (v21.3), et même réinitialisé mes préférences. Evidemment j’ai redémarré mon ordinateur...Ce n’est pas un calque verrouillé ni des éléments de gabarit, juste la grille pour aligner mes éléments entre eux n’apparait pas lorsque je les manipule comme d’habitude. Au cas où je suis sous Mac Tahoe 26.3.1Merci d’avance 

Bonjour ! Je souhaiterai pouvoir accéder à des réglages avancés pour l'option "Equilibrer les lignes en drapeau". Cette option, certes pratique, laisse cependant des mots très court en fin de ligne.Y'a-t'il une façon de limiter cela, comme pour les options/paramètres de césure ?Merci beaucoup !

I’ve had this issue on Windows and Mac where the Links panel > Show/Hide Information doesn’t work. When I open an InDesign file, the panel shows the Link Info. However, if I need more space to see other panels, I click the Link Info ˅ to collapse the panel. That part works. What doesn’t work is trying to relaunch it. I click the Link Info and nothing happens. I have to close InDesign and open it back up. This happens from the time I install the Adobe apps, so I don’t see this as being a Preferences issue. It’s been a problem for many years. Anyone know of a workaround?   

The third digit in 3 digit page numbers drops the assigned tabular lining style. I’ve tried using several different fonts, and the problem remains. Ive never encountered this before. Is there a fix for this?
