InDesign

Hi all. Surely someone has an answer?? I am always scrolling vertically through multi-page documents using my Mac trackpad. But I only have to touch my trackpad wrongly for the pages to slide off to the edge left or right. Working in Word or equivalent, pages just scroll neatly vertically Same when working on a page, I can have the page happily centred on the screen and working and then oops it shoots across the screen and I have to recentre. a. Can I lock a page in place centred on the screen so it does not move?b. Can I lock all the pages centred so that they will only scroll vertically Thanks & Cheers Robert

Hi, in the Adobe Indesign business card template screenshot attached. Please how did they make the shiny effect on the text? It’s awesome. Also, I am trying to edit the colour of the text and background in this template inside InDesign. But it won’t make the changes that I’m making and okaying; that have worked fine for me in all other documents today and previously. Screenshots below. First is what the original template looks like then my next steps and what shows on screen.. 

Hi, I recently completed a book that I now need to send to the printer. This is my first book I have worked on and I wanted to ask what I should look out for when submitting it. I’ve read through their documentation, but I was wondering if there’s anything else that might be obvious to someone experienced but not to me. I know this is a broad question, but maybe there are standard or things from own experience.  Thank you very much!

How do I make a scallop frame edge so I can drop in an image and it have a scalloped edge. Like the attached but the blue would be the image. 

I can't find the answer to this anywhere. I have a graphic in my indesign document. I applied a hyperlink to it. Now I want to remove the hyperlink without removing the graphic. How can I do that? The only thing I can find on removing hyperlinks is from 2011 and it's a script. 

I am getting the following error when trying to validate a reflowable epub that I exported from InDesign: ERROR(RSC-012): epub/OEBPS/toc.xhtml(63,94): Fragment identifier is not defined. Nothing I try is getting rid of the error. I've tried rebuilding the TOC in multiple ways. But it is not fixing the issue. 

Hey everyone, I'm really struggling here. Working on a document in indesign, in which i've imported jpegs (created in photoshop). Everything was going well, then I modified and saved a new Jpeg. Updated the link in InDesign, and now the pdf exports are pink. (primarily in the white areas of the black and white images). I know that this often has to do with color profiles, but I cant seem to find the problem.  Using InDesign 2025Photoshop file is in CMYK mode. InDesign document is in Print mode. Transparency Blend space set to CMYK (though also tried RGB) I've tried exporting to pdf using all the preset options. I've tried modifying output settings to "no color conversion" as well as "convert to destination" Any suggestions?(PDF attached. The original images have a pure grayscale background, no warmth or pink)  

For some reason, the new windows snapping fuction in Mac Sequoia doesn't work for me in Indesign. It how ever does work for Photoshop and Illustrator. 

About a year ago, files that I have long printed as booklets without any issues began to print misaligned. It doesn't matter which printer: from the home office Xerox Work Center 6515 to the Cannon V7, ALL Indesign files print misaligned back to front. I have to go in and manually set the odd pages to an off set by trial and error. It's frustrating, especially because this was not an issue in the past. I've printed the same file hundreds of times with no problems. The only way, it seems, to defeat this problem is to pay to have my book printed by an outside printer, effectively killing my home business. It costs $8 per book for a book that sells at $10. The printer charges a set up fee per title. I suspect they're using the Jobmaster program. No misalignment issues were reported to me, however I'm told it's a pain to set the books up for printing. What has changed and how di I fix this costly issue?   <Title renamed by MOD>

Since updating, crashing when moving text boxes, or scrolling quickly.When rebooting, I'm told files are damaged and then repaired. Upon opening the repaired file, pages are missing all content in text box on last-viewed page.

Hello!I am using the Google font Karla in my indd document, however all of the font variables are converting to Italic for some reason. For example, I am trying to use Karla Light for my body text, but indd is converting it to Karla Italic. I have tried creating a Paragraph Style with Karla Light, making sure Character Style is on "None", removed and reinstalled the font from my desktop, removed and reinstalled the font from the Document Fonts folder, etc. I do not have this issue with the font on Illustrator or Photoshop, so I believe it might be an InDesign issue. Here is what I see on my screen: The font variables are showing up in the Character panel but are converted to Italic in the Type tab. This issue is unique to the current document I am working on right now. I tested this font on another document and all the font variables are displaying correctly. I appreciate any ideas on what could be causing this!!

I have an InDesign (2025 version) and the document Export setting are in Spanish. However, when I export it  to PDF, the links tags and the document root tag are in English, but the Document Properties is in Spanish.  See scerenshots attached.To me, this looks there is a glitch with Adobe. I also tested with a French InDesign, and when exported to Adobe the links and the rood tag is also in English. So, this looks a common probelm with all langauges when exporting the PDF. For some reason adobne adds ENGLISH to the document root tag and links.Does anyone have seen this issue? Is there any workaround? Thanks!

Seit einigen Tagen kann ich übliche Short-Cuts nicht mehr verwenden, wie z. B. ein Objekt mit dem Auswahlwerkzeug markieren, mit der Maus halten und mit SHIFT vertikal / horizontal zu verschieben.Oder mit ALT + SHIFT das markierte Objekt zu kopieren, um es dann mit der Maus auf einer geraden Linie zu verschieben. Und das freie Verschieben von Objekten klappt nur noch mit der Tastatur und per Maus so gar nicht mehr. So kann man nicht mehr vernünftig arbeiten. Hat das auch etwas mit den allgemeinen Windows-Update-Problemem zu tun? Ist ein Patch in Sicht, da ich leider nicht auf eine ältere Version zurückwechseln kann. Ich nutze die neueste Version von Win 11 und die neuste Version von InDesign (20.1.).Vielen Dank für Eure Hilfe.

Hi, I opened an EPUB with the Books app on Mac. All of a sudden, I see a black border in Endnote. I haven't seen it before. How can I resolve the issue? Hosun  

Indesign crashes every 10 minutes. It doesn't matter what I am working on, what commands and short cuts I use, it seems like any time I try to do anything in this program, it crashes.  It's not just the latest update, it is categorically the buggiest adobe product and I don't think we should be paying for such a subpar application. Please fix this issue asap becuase it's becomming unusable.

On about one-third of the images I place, when I scale them to fit where I want, they'll show up with a chunk of them outside the frame. The frame fitting menu is set to 0" on all but when I check the frame fitting on the image after it's been placed, it does show other numbers. There's no object style applied, and it doesn't happen when I just place, only when I scale the image to fit where I want it.

When I create a text frame on a master page in order to later use the Snap Margins to Text Frame script to create margins, something goes wrong. It used to work perfectly before, and the margins were exactly the same size as the text frame. Now it creates something like what you can see in the photo. I reinstalled the script and reset InDesign, but it didn’t help.Sorry for my English.

Hello, I am trying to export an interactive pdf and the text boxes I have created have colour and writing in them (for the end user to use or change). The trouble is when I export the interactive pdf, the text and colour that I've put in the text boxes has disappeared. How do I export the interactive pdf and keep the text and colour in my text boxes.  

Hi all. I have a legal document that needs bullet points at numerous levels with some up to five levels deep. The best way to describe what I require is to provide a screenshot of something that I have created manually as seen here:  As you can see, there are a few levels, and to add to the complexity there are paragraphs of text that arern't bullets. The document is 100+ pages long and I'd love for it to be automated because if a new sub-section or sub-sub bullet is added in the middle of content, then I'd like the following bullets to automatically update. How can I do this in InDesign?

Bonjour,pour les besoins d'un livre, je cherche une méthode qui me permettrait d'avoir la première ligne de chaque paragraphe alignée à gauche puis les suivantes alignées à droite et ce de façon automatique (sinon c'est trop facile).Une idée ?Merci par avance !

I am looking to build a template that has variations upon the layout for different displays/uses. The copy would be the same.  Think Digital ad packages, that may be the most relevant example. You have a half dozen variants of the same content/design. In use, you would edit the CTA and it would change across all variants. You drop in a new image, it is swapped out for all linked image boxes. In each case, the individual frames would keep their style settings. I want to link boxes so if one is edited, they are ALL edited.  Is this currently possible in InDesign? 

Where is Shift+F1 hiding? The system display doesn't set this shortcut either.  But when I set Shift+F1, it doesn't work the way I want it to, and when I press it a second time, I get a popup that says “Search complete”.When I cancel Shift+F1, it still pops up “Search Complete”. Thank you.

these programs cant even have same primary commands or keys to scale, move or edit. Im not able to scale one picture in indesign, every time i got picture in it and  I minimize it. it randomly just cuts off, this is annoying. Make sense between tehse programs. illustrator, photoshop, indesign, thx   [abuse removed by moderator]
