InDesign

HiSince a couple of weeks, InDesign is behaving strange. Sometimes starting InDesign takes minutes, saving a small document also. Opening a document from Bridge can take a while too. My Windows 11 Pro system is new and powerful (it's eating the system requirements for breakfast) and all the apps are up to date. All other apps are working smoothly (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects). I reseted the preferences many times, deleted the preset folder etc.  I searched for solutions but the most recommended procedure is reseting the preferences.Is anybody experience the same issues? I am greatful for any advice beyond the "resest preferences".Kind Regards, OliverPS: Here are some specs:Intel Core i7 12700K, 3.6 - 5.0 GHz, 12 Cores / 20 Thread64 GB RAMNVIDIA GeForce RTX3050

Do I embed the fonts into the document and then password protect the editing?

Hi,I'm looking for a way to create a presentation / deck featuring one continuous audio track playing seamlessly across all pages.I currently have a 10-page PDF designed in InDesign, and I want the audio to play continuously without stopping or restarting as viewers navigate between pages.I've managed to add the mp3 file into Indesign and publish online, but it stops after the viewer clicks to the next page. My goal is to publish this presentation online, but I'm also open to other solutions, perhaps Epub. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!Thanks so much! 

Hi, I am trying to place a word document in indesign. Everything is ok except for the text wrapping.is there a way to carry the text wrapping properties in word to indesign?thanks

In Indesign, unable to to change "Number of Recent Items to Display" from 0. The option is grayed out and up to date on Indesign version. Any suggestions to remove the gray out option and to be able to show recent options? 

Hello, I am working on a document that I've edited numerous times. I drop in a new png or jpeg of a QR code (tried both). The files is crystal clear in indesign, but when exporting to PDF, the QR code (no other images) is fuzzy or has a small grey outline round it. I tried creating a brand new document and using the same QR code and it exported fine. I assumed then that the document was corrupt, rebuilt it and started again, but to the same issue. Is it a size thing? As it's a QR code? Surely not, .id can handle tiny, intricate graphics. I've set the QR at over 1cm, the recommended minimum size for QRs. I'm completely stumped!ThanksKim

I'm trying to download InDesign but it says I have to update my sistem. I'm running a Windows 11 Version 23H2, and the website says the latest version of InDesign requires Windows 11 Versions 21H2 or 22H2. Is that the issue?All other requirements are being met.

Hello everyone! Since yesterday, I noticed a serious problem about Id. My last job is a 800pages Physics book. There are some things that keep happening every day and i am 100% sure that I solved them the day beforea) I keep change the font style to specific paragraph styles, from medium to bold EVERY DAY! Why they arent be saved? b) When I open a previous file, ALWAYS the pictures are moved in some other positions. All the pictures are in Anchor and suddenly the anchor is lostc) THE MOST TERRIBLE... After the previous update, many files, at the opening, I received the pop up message " The file is damaged", without any advice of recovery. So, I just "lost" 80 pages?  Whta is happening... 😒😒😒

Hi everyone,This is my first post here, and I’d appreciate your help with automating my workflow.I work on promotion catalogs and need a way to streamline updates—especially for pricing—so that any changes are automatically reflected in the file. Additionally, since our team works remotely from different countries, the solution should support online collaboration.What would be the best plugin or tool for InDesign to achieve this? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance.

I've been using Indesign for a long time and have never had these problems before. Suddenly when I export a pdf, they are all exporting to very large sizes. I just went into an old file and updated 2 photos (replaced them with slightly different ones). This should have produced a file that was pretty much the same size as the previous version, once I exported to pdf. The older version file size was 972 KB. This latest one that I just saved was 198 MB. None of my files seem to be embedded... I'm not seeing the embedded file icon next to any of them.What could be causing this? I'm having weird troubles with all of my Adobe Programs right now and this one seemed to crop up at the same time. People have been suggesting that maybe I need a new graphics card. Could this sort of issue be related?Thanks for you your help!- Sarah

Hello!Can someone please modify this script for me, because my document have to be split with double pages, but with this script they are separated into individual pages... Thank you very much! /* CreateIndividualPages.jsx Makes new INDD files of each page of a document, named as the page number */ var doc = app.activeDocument; var pages = doc.pages.everyItem().getElements(); var docName = doc.name.replace(".indd", ""); var filePath = doc.filePath; // set this value to the number of pages each document should have. var delta = 3; for (var p = 0; p < pages.length; p = p + 50) { var keyPage = pages[p]; var nextKeyPage = p + 50; var newDoc = app.documents.add(); newDoc.name = docName + "_" + (p + 1) + ".indd"; // copy key page to new document keyPage.duplicate(LocationOptions.BEFORE, newDoc.pages[0]); // remove staring page of new document newDoc.pages[1].remove(); // for each page after the keyPage and up to the nextKeyPage, (skip first page)

Die Einstellung der Grundlinienrasters sollte über ein extra Fenster erfolgen, bei dem mittels Live Preview das Raster zu sehen ist. Außerdem sollte die erste Zeile des Grunlinienrasters auf die Versalhöhe des Grundtextes einstellbar sein. Die bisherige Einstellung über das Voreinstellungsfenster ist sehr mühsam.

Hi, I have nearly finished designing my first book and have had so much help in this community, I am very grateful. I am so close to getting this to the printers, which is very exciting. I would really appreciate if you could help me with what I think are my last steps to be sure it prints correctly.    Firstly, could you please confirm I have set the cover width correctly. (I googled how to, so hopefully I have got it right). It has 40 inside pages and I plan to use 80gsm and a 250 to 300 gsm cover. Based on google, I have calculated 4mm width for the spine but would really appreciate your real life experience.    Also, I am wondering if you can tell from looking at the screenshot below if I have set bleed up correctly. I set bleed to 3mm all round in the settings, as per what the printer asked for. But I did some dragging in the document itself.    I want the whole document to have the green background but I’ve changed the colour of the back cover on lef

I'm using InDesign 2025 on a PC. I'm trying to create a photo book in one of the Blurb templates. I've done several of these, and every one uses the same master pages. I've created a grey background that I use throughout the Blurb book.I googled how to copy the master pages from a source document to a new one, and every time I go into Layout-Pages, the ability to Load Pages is either grayed out, or not showing up at all. I have done this before but forgot how to do it. The more I google, the more confused I am getting. Can anyone give me simple instructions as to how to do it, please? I must be highlighting something incorrectly. Thank you. 

Hi All, Trying to format a very large list of company names, addresses and phone numbers into my ID doc. Other than setting up Character Styles and formatting each company separately is there a quicker way?

Hello! I'm making a book for my final design collection and printing it through B&N. I made it originally in .AI then placed the artboards into InDesign. I have the .125 bleed set and the .5 and .75 margins as B&N asks but when ever I go to upload the file it keeps saying the documnt (11x8.5) is too big (11.25x8.75). I uploaded it once correctly but my bleed was not properly extending, so I know the size is correct and I believe it is something to do with the bleed? I also read another thread on her that said to not choose any of the printers marks when exporting as .pdf to save and I have been clicking "use documents bleed settings" which are also set to .125.This is my first time doing this so any help is appreciated. Screenshots to show

Whenever I type a lot of texts in a cell of the table, the cell moves to the next page from where the cell was. Is there the way to let the cell flows between pages?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hello!When I export an Indesign CC interactive PDF with multiple pop-up throughout the document, I can only activiate the pop-up feature by clicking on the first instance of the pop up. example. I click on pg 30 with a pop-up feature, it does not work. I have to go page to the first page that has a pop-up feature and click on that pop-up. Once I click on the first instance of the pop-up feature, all the pop up will work fine.Anyone else have this issue? not sure if it is an Indesign issue or Acrobat issue.Thanks,Colleen

I've got a perfect ecxport from INDD to Epub except for the fact that two pages, the first page of chapter 31 and the first page of chapter 59 have been duplicated and inserted at the end of the EPUB. There is nothing different about these pages concerning layout or paragraph style from all the other chapters. There are no blank pages in the document. Has anyone run into this problem before and HOW do I fix it?! I have done all the things I know to do and nothing is helping.   <Title renamed by MOD>  

Hi everyone, I am working on a book cover for print. For some reason, the first quotation mark appears to be outside of the text box. Why is this happening, and is there a way to fix it? 

Hallo Community, um ein weiters Tool (Easy Catalogue) mit deren Lizenz nutzen zu können und die kompatibilität mit den Macs der Kollegen zu haben, brauche ich die Version 17.4 von Adobe InDesign 2022. Allerdings kann diese nicht mehr über die Creative Cloud heruntergeladen werden.Gibt es da noch eine Möglichkeit? Wir sind gerade in einer dringenden Phase zur Abgabe unseres KAtalogs. Eine Aktualisierung der Adobe Version auf Neu ist aktuell nicht möglich.Hier meine Mac Version, falls relevant: 

Hi All,I regularly compile a Senior's newsletter and whenever I use 'Text Wrap' the text on the page becomes pixelated (jagged). The issue appears to be with Transparency Blend Space., specifically when this is set to CMYK. The newsletter is printed and I would assume the Blend Space needs to be CMYK. You can see the imperfect text when the document is exported to PDF for printing and then printed. The attached image shows two pages. The same [regular] font is used on both pages. It occurs regardless of what font I use. Has anyone else had this issue and overcome it?
