InDesign

Hello. Is it possible to save out layers to a PSD from InDesign? I saw a script that people used called IDtoPSV6  however, that was a long time ago. I am not sure where you are meant to put the files. And I am not sure if it will even work. In the new version of Indesign 2020. It would be really useful if you were able to export as, just like you can in Illustrator, without having to export every layer individually.    Thank you again

Hi I am trying to individually hyperlink text presented as a list of articles, each on a separate line (i.e. The text is the article name). Each line has a return after it but when I hyperlink the text (without highlighting the return), it keeps defaulting every line to the last hyperlink I linked to? This seems to be happening whehter I have 'shared hyperlink destination' selected or not? Can anyone help?

I place a multipage pdf to indesgin.  Now I want to edit it?  Is it possible to edit this document in indesign, or do I have to edit it somewhere else?  As you can see I have no Idea how to use indesign.  I am tasked with modifying our companies technical manual.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  thanks much! 

Hello,I'm having a problem numbering my pages in Indesign. I would like my two page numbers to appear only on my left page. But when I add an active page number + a next page number, the next page number remains the active page number. Like I can't number a page if it's the next page. You see on the attached document, I would like it to say "4/5" and not "4/4". Thanks for your answers. 

I have to create technical documents for my company. Originals come from Word, they're placed into InDesign 2024 and formatted for our branding. I Share for Review with editors through InDesign. Once approved, I export an interactive PDF (which gets posted in our online store for people to purchase). Because our technical standards have to be reviewed and revised by multiple people who only have Microsoft Word, I have to provide an archival version of the document in Word.  So, I open the PDF in Acrobat Pro and export to Microsoft Word. While the formatting "look" comes through (including page breaks), none of the original style names are there. The next time the Word files come back to me, I can't just flow it in and have it automatically format because the styles are no longer there to match what's in InDesign, I then have to apply styles again, which is double work. I can export RTF from InDesign then open the RTF in Word and the style names are there, but the layout

Hello, When I add new pages to my document, they are added as right-hand (recto) pages. Do you have any idea how I can get them to add normally on the left (verso)? It doesn't do this on all documents, and I created this one. So, I'm highly confused. I know I can drag the pages around, but it's getting annoying with so many pages to add. I'm attaching a screenshot showing my Pages panel options and how the pages are being added. Thank you.

Hello, I have multiple adobe pdf files that have layers. I am using InDesign to combine them into one INDD file to export it as one pdf. However, the layers of the adobe pdf files are not retained in the exported pdf file. Is there a way I can retain these adobe pdf file layers so that I can modify the layer values after I combine the pdfs into one file? also, is this possible using InDesign Server or any plugin/scripting?(I cannot modify the adobe pdf file layer values before combining) Thank you!

I have a damaged file that continues to crash in Indesign - cant figure out why. Typically I'd just redo the work but this a book with almost 200 pages - Anyone have suggestions     <Title renamed by MOD>

I've just finished a 300+ page book for printing on Amazon; process was very easy and book looks great. I want to publish this as a reflowable ebook, also on Amazon. So far the only way I've thought of is to export the InD files back into Word and upload them that way. I don't think this is a good solution. I exported to Epub and got mixed results, but anyway I want it reflowable. Am I missing something obvious? Any ideas? Thanks,Susan

I figured this out for the 2024 version of Adobe Indesign. Launch InDesign, and choose a Workspace.Go to Window --> Application Frame and make sure this is UNchecked.Go to the upper left corner (to the left of the home icon) and drag the Application Frame down from the top of the screen. The Control Strip should shift up in its place.Quit InDesign.Go to this folder: (This has changed, preferences are in an Adobe Indesign folder without the year) Volume > Users > username > Library > Preferences > Adobe InDesign (no year) > Version 19 > en_US > Workspaces There should be several .xml files in there. Look at the modification dates - the one most recently modified is the one you're using. Open that file with the Text Editor. (Right click on the file, open with --> Text Editor) Search for this text: app-container - and it should take you to a line that looks like this toward the bottom:<app-container-control-bar id="63" origin="346 612"

Hi All, hoping someone can help.So I have come back to finish editing my hubby's book after a hiatus of a few months, I think there has been at least one update in the intervening time. I had been making the corrections I had recently worked on then looked down and suddenly realised that the page numbers were all wrong. Attached is a screen shot to demonstrate. The Book panel and the styles panel show the correct number, which in this example is page 19, but the number on the actual document in question is "1". All the files before this are numbered correctly, but all the chapters after this start at "1" , and not the number given in the book panel. Any help would be much appreciated. I will contine in the meantime to follow up on a few discussions I've found here, but so far, everything suggested is about the updating of number in the book panel.  Thanks In Advance [I hit the "How to" Topic as none of the others seem to be applicable to my issue, unl

I work at a publishing company. One of the challenges is having a student edition version with teacher answers. A solution we've been using is creating teacher answers on a separate layer. However, alignment issues and spacing issues always appear. In the past, I worked with another publishing company that used conditional text. It's cleaner and easier to use. However, when I attempted to use this approach, I noticed it does not work with the plug-in, MathTools. Any conditional text that has MathTools styles applied either crashed the program when turning on/off the condition or reverted back to (Unconditional). Is there any way MathTools can be utilized with the Conditional Text feature in InDesign? Help, please!

Should be simple, right? Please let it be simple. I am neurodivergent and the extra presets (I made while learning) are driving me insane. Maybe I'm being too much. Please help.Do you know what I'm talking about? Screenshot attached. Thanks,David

Hello everyone,I wanted to share my recent experience improving interactivity in exported files and how this journey has helped me refine my skills in both information and media literacy.When I started, I accessed various resources, including Adobe Community Discussions, video tutorials, and articles, to gain insights into creating interactive features like buttons and hyperlinks. Reading critically for comprehension and verifying the data shared by experts were vital in understanding the nuances of these tools.One thing I learned was the importance of connecting multiple sources of information. For example, community insights often provided practical tips, while tutorials gave a step-by-step breakdown of processes. Combining these resources enabled me to enhance interactivity in my projects effectively. Throughout this process, I critically analyzed the underlying meaning of responses to ensure their relevance and reliability. Selecting appropriate digital tools and applying thes

A simple InDesign file and for those who need instruction, the steps used to export your SHortcut Set as a text file and how to apply this InDesign style are on GitHub.(Since this forum refuses to upload any flies except PNG for me, oh Adobe, why's it's always like this with you these days!)https://github.com/aleith/indesign-keyboard-shortcuts

Guten morgen,  mir fällt immer wieder auf, dass sich weiße Linien auf der Oberfläche darstellen. Bei rein- und rauszoomen verschwinden sie. Ist das ein Darstellungsfehler? Ich habe ein neues MBP und es war sogar schon auf dem davor. Ich habe auch eine neue Datei geöffnet und trotzdem kommen diese Linien. Über eine Aufklärung würde ich mich sehr freuen!

I have been working on a book design in Indesign and suddenly while working in modifying the text the file frooze and Indesign frooze as well it was not responding at all. I tried all the recommended actions I saw in many places but nothing helped. Lately I contacted support and they went with me step by step until they tried to open the file but nothing. They promised to ask the backend guys but they did not get back to me. Any help is appreciated in this matter.

Bonjour, de façon imprévisible certaines options de différentes fenêtres disparaissent tout ou partiellement. Parfois, ils reviennent en relnaçant l'application, mais pas toujours. Puis ils reviennent toujours aussi mystérieusement...Quelqu'un a-t-il expérimenté cela et trouvé une solution ?Merci

Hi everyone,I really like the Alternate Layout functionality of ID CC, but find it tedious when I have to export each layout to a separate pdf. Is there an existing way to do this in a batch, or a script that would do this for me, allowing me to choose a PDF Preset also?Specs:ID CC 2017Win10Thanks in advance for any and all replies!-Andy

Hi,I'm doing an interactive pdf with InDesign,there is a question with one correct answer between multiple answers.when the user click the checkbox of the correct answer it shows the tick mark and can also be unchecked, and if the user click on the wrong answer's checkbox nothing happens.here is an example gif: I couldn't figure out how to do all that.I tried using object state & go to state, but when I open the pdf, all the checkboxes are checked.I tried a different way, when I click on the wrong answer's checkbox nothing happens which is ok but if I then click on another answer, then that wrong one shows the tick even though I've deleted it from [Normal On].   <Title renamed by MOD>

Bonjour, Je travaille sur un document que j'ai composé en livre pour plusieurs raisons :• chaque chapitre est volumineux• chacun des chapitres comporte un nombre énorme de notes (plus de 400…), regroupées en fin de chapitre Je dois réaliser un index global et ne trouve aucun tuto à ce sujet ! Je précise que par défaut, chaque chapitre génère son propre index qui se retrouve à la fin de celui-ci, comme les notes et ce n'est pas ce que je souhaite. Les notes doivent se trouver en fin de chapitre et l'index en fin d'ouvrage.  Béni sera celui qui m'aide ! Merci d'avance. 

Select all footnotes on all pages or Select all footnotes on the current page.It seems like you can only pick one at a time, or use a lookup.

I have a big issue, and it is one that is totally my fault, and I cannot get used to remembering this.I am hoping that someone can help me find a way to make this more prominent so that I don’t keep doing it. Or find a way so I can’t do it. I sometimes use Word documents that I place into InDesign.My issue is that when I am inside my InDesign document, I forget that I have placed a Word document into it, and I start making edits in InDesign to that Word document (inside of InDesign).Then my Word document does not match my InDesign document. Is there a way to make it more prominent or make my placed document stand out more inside of my InDesign document so that I will realize it is a placed document?Or is there a way that I can set up InDesign so that it will not let me make edits to placed documents inside of InDesign?I hope what I am trying to convey is making sense.
