InDesign

I'm debugging a document and removing everything that's not required, and when I check, using the "Find/Replace Font" window, the fonts used in the document appear to be 6, but when packaging, in the "Fonts" section, it says there are 18! When I select one of the ones I don't recognize and request its location in the document, it doesn't appear in the "Find/Replace Font" window, and if it doesn't appear, it can't show me where it "supposedly" is located in the document.   The only font I think I could possibly add to the registered ones would be the "Basic Paragraph" font, Minion Pro, but other than that... 18 fonts....    What could be happening, and how can I sort the Fonts window, the "Packaging" window, and the "Find/Replace Font" window so that their information matches? Thanks.   

Hace quizá una semana que ID se cierra cuando, entre otras acciones, cierro un archivo. ¿Qué le puede estar causando este problema y qué podría hacer para solucionarlo? Gracias. 

Hi all! What is this object? It looks like a graphic, but as you can see, when the object is selected it does not show up in the LINKS panel. I can change the colour as you can see, it's a mottled colour, but still can be changed. When I export, it does not show up in the links folder. Any ideas?

Hello Adobe InDesign Community,I’m facing an issue with the index generation in Adobe InDesign, specifically with Turkish character sorting. I’m hoping someone can help me identify what I might be doing wrong or if this is a known bug.Problem Description: I’m working on a book project in InDesign, and I need to generate a 3-column hierarchical index with proper Turkish alphabetical sorting. I’ve set the sorting language to Turkish in the Index panel, and the index entries appear correctly sorted in the panel (e.g., "Ç" entries are listed under a separate "Ç" section, as they should be in the Turkish alphabet). However, when I generate the index using the "Generate Index" dialog, the "Ç" section heading disappears, and all entries starting with "Ç" are incorrectly listed under the "C" section, mixed with "C" entries. Steps I’ve Taken:1-In the Index panel (Window > Utilities > Index), I opened the hamburger menu and went to "Sort Options."2-In the "Sort Options" dialog, I chan

The blue link badges have disappered from my graphics boxes. NOT the panel, but each individual box. How can I restore them please?

Hi,I have multiple textframes threaded. Page as been setup properly as I wanted. I want to put a soft return at the end of line. If there is a new paragraph change, it will ignore that. I have marked it with red circles, the places where I want soft-returns. How to do this with a script. I want to target a particular para style.

Hi! I'm having a hard time understanding what this means and how to fix it:"On some pages, the data is composed of CMYK, mainly barcodes or photos. For the books, a 1+1 (b/w) print is planned. The EAN should be in 100% K, as well as the images." How do I change this? Does this also apply to vector graphics?This is for a book project for print. Thank you!

Hi! Could you please share the link for Adobe InDesign? When I downloaded InDesign on my end, I couldn’t find the “MANUAL PRESET UNINET.indd” file that’s needed to generate the order. If possible, could you also provide a quick video on how to download it? I’d really appreciate it since I need this to work ASAP. Thanks!

Greetings, please, how do I reactivate the option to edit my photos in InDesign, with Photoshop. after deleting an old Beta version of InDesign the only option now offered is using InDesign. Thanks

Hi guys, I just created a document with inDesign. I also entered information in the File Info section. However, when I export the document in JPEG format, the XMP information doesn't get exported with it. I've gone through the Preferences and can't find anyting to do with the inclusion/exclusion of metadata.  Could you please give me an indication of how I may be able to do this? Many thanks in advance. Regards,Ess

For a couple of years now, even with updated versions and OS, InDesign has had a bug that makes my document invisible. That is, all elements can be selected (see screenshot), and you can make it visible again by enabling “Overprint Preview.” But very frustrating to close and then open the files again to make it visible.Does anyone have a solution to this? 

I need to explore writing plug-ins or import mechanisms for InDesign. Where can I find the latest SDK and docs?

Hello. I'm getting back to work after over a year on a large book with many images, and several images will need to be edited. Is there a quick way to locate the image on disk that is linked in InDesign? I don't see anything like "image properties" or "linked image" when right clicking on the image in the project. I see relink image, but it doesn't take me to the location or the currently linked image. 

I am trying to package an InDesign file and am receiving an error message. "This document contains links to files/URL(s) that are not accessible. Please check your network connectivity or the original source of content." There are no errors in preflight. Placed graphics are linked. URLs in the document are correct. I am on Mac OS 13.4 and InDesign 2023 (just upgraded.)

I am the licensed owner of InDesign CS5. The previous two computers I had loaded this on crashed, and I can't deactivate it, and I therefore can't load it on my new computer. Is there a workaround?

Is there a way I can change the thickness of the lines in the layout grid? I'm exporting a PDF with the layout grid included (so that I can then use it as a guide in After Effects). But the lines show up as quite faint when I import into AE

Hallo, in Indesign wird Text in Textrahmen nicht mehr angezeigt. Es betrifft aber nicht alle Textkästen mit gleichem Absatzformat. Beim Bewegen der Kästen mit dem Fehler stürzt Indesign ab. Wir können den Fehler etwas einschränken: Manchmal hilft es, das Objektformat der fehlerhaften Kästen auf "ohne" zu stellen. Zudem hilft es, die automatische Größenanpassung der Rahmen zu deaktivieren. Als Workaround geht das. Bei ca. 500 solcher Textkästen mit Objektformaten ist das aber sehr aufwändig und fehleranfällig. Kennt jemand das Problem und hat eine Idee für eine Lösung?Indesgin 2025 auf Mac M4, Adobe-SchriftDanke und viele Grüße! Matthias

One small tweak that would significantly improve efficiency:When clicking into an input field in the toolbar, the entire value should be automatically selected.Right now, clicking into a field just places the cursor at the end of the number. This means we have to either:Manually delete the existing value before typing a new one.Double-click to select the whole field, then type the new value.Instead, the default behavior should be that a single click highlights the entire field, so we can immediately type in a new value and press Enter.This would eliminate unnecessary clicks and make input adjustments much faster.It should also be an easy fix in the code!

I can purposefully type a misspelled word in InDesign and the Spell Check doesn't catch it. In fact it doesn't seem to work at all.

I have selected an image that has the words "Sample text replace with your text".  How do I go about removing the text so I can use the image?  I am using a 7 day trial of InDesign, but it is NOT for beginners and I am having trouble figuring out how to manipulate the image.

The spreads in the pages window aren't centered and I want to center them. There also isn't an icon for the A Parent page.    When searching for a fix I found a link regarding this: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-pages-window-misalignment-glitch/td-p/8834099. However, with the Indesign Creative Cloud version, I don't know how to trash these preferences. The ctrl+alt+shift method didn't work.    So I guess I have two questions: (1) How do I reset/trash my preferences in creative cloud indesign besides using the ctrl+alt+shift method?  (2) Is there another way to fix this problem besides reset/trash preferences? 

Indesign files open as [Read-Only] and the only way you can save the file is to save it somewhere else or save it with a different name and then delete the old file? There seems to be a workaround for windows https://www.reddit.com/r/indesign/comments/13lti2e/files_opening_as_readonly/ but is there a workaround for Mac?

I have a group consisting of some text frames, a shape, and some photos. When I try to resize the group, the shapes resize proportionally fine, but the text resizes the frame. Still, it doesn't change the size of the text itself and the image is just moved out of focus in the frame (as can be seen in the attached image, the space between the original pic and the frame.How can I get all elements of the group to scale correctlyThank you, and have a good day!Susan Flamingo
