InDesign

Hice un boceto en Ilustrador, y al realizar el archvio para ID, la "supuesta" misma familia tipográfica me aparece con algunos estilos "iguales" y otros no aparecen, por lo que no puedo igualar el archivo de impresión al del boceto... ¿Por qué puede estar sucediendo esto? 

Hi Everyone I created a daily diary for the last financial year in InDesign (excerpt attached). Now, I need to update it for the current financial year. Does anyone know a quick and easy way to update all the dates without manually changing each one? Would love to hear any tips or tricks - thanks in advance! Jas  

When entering proper names from the text to an ID Index, they enter usually as the 'John Smith' format.After changing all manually to 'Smith, John' style needed, can the Index then be re-alphabetised?

How long do I have to keep paying for InDesign that has not been working properly since the latest OS update? Crashes often upon closing a file.

I tried fixing a paragraph style from one version to another within the same document and InDesign crashes each time I get to the same point (ex. Chapter 11). I do not have this issue with any other document in InDesign but this one. Any ideas why this happening and any solutions? Thank you! 🙂 

Hello, I am using iMac, and just upgraded to the latest OS-Sequoia 15.3.2. Each time I work on an InDesign document, it just works well while working, but as soon as I save the file and close the file, InDesign gives a serious warning and and just forces me to quit. Although once I reopen InDesign and open the same file, it opens up and is just fine as I had saved it, so no corruption or damage to the file, but it's just frustrating to have to keep reopening after each file I work on.I am attaching a screen shot of the pop up warning, hope that helps.Would highly appreciate if someone can please help?!

Hello,  Every time we open up Indesign it crashes Teams. We have tried uninstalling each creative cloud program individually and we have narrowed it down to it just being indesign that crashes Microsoft teams. I am hoping there a update coming soon to fix  this, or if there already is, any insight would be helpful. 

I have a BIG indesign file in which CO2 is mentioned a bunch of times. The problem is that the 2 needs to be in subscript. When I use the text search function i can opt to selecte every word that is written as CO2, the only problem is that I can't change the 2 to a subscript 2, because the typing window doesn't seem to support it. Any advice on how to go about this problem? 

Dear community, I encounter huge problems with the review process. I can't update review links. As soon as I've created the link, it's working. I am working on the document. Then, as soon as I open the window to update the links and work on the comments, the window is empty again and asks me to create a (new) review link. And to make matters worse: comments from my colleagues are deleted. Anybody encountering the same issue?I would very much appreciate help. Thank you!---Some notes about my system:Adobe CC InDesign v20.2Win 10

Hey there, I was wondering if anyone knows how to localize bookmarks.I am currently using a translation management platform to localize idml files which works great. Scripts allow me to re-sort any content in a semi-automated fashion.However I have not found a way to localize bookmarks of the Indesign file in a semi-automated way.Is there any solution for this instead of manually renaming all bookmarks?

INDD 20.2 Windows 11/64I shut this project down and went to eat supper. When I got back, this is how I found one of my pages. I suppose I caught and dragged something witha stylus or mouse and then saved it, having had no idea what I did.My questions are: How do I undo it (if I can)? and what did I do, so I won't do it again.Thanks to those who know more than me,Joe 

I'm running Sequoia 15.3.1 and installed Indesign 2025 a few weeks ago. It is not opening files. The computer right next to me is able to open them and is using the same OS but is beefed up with an M1 chip. The files are on the cloud. All font are available. Our tech said my computer is fine. I could possibly open them in Indesign 2024 but don't really want to change the files too much. I have read a few people are struggling with 2025. Any ideas or is it a wait and see.

Hi, I have a plugin developed for InDesign (C++). I have noted a strange behaviour in scripting, when the plugin is placed. When accessed from the script, it returns RIGHT for the return value of Justification.RIGHT_ALIGN where it should be RIGHT_ALIGN. This happens only in InDesign 2025.  When I compile the same pluing (same c++ code) for InDesign 2023 or InDesign 2024 and try to access it, it returns the correct value.  Does someone has an idea what could be going wrong in my c++ code? Just the precense of the C++ plugin modifies the return value.  

Hi I'm trying to find book cover templates - with front & back covers & spine. Not dust jacket. I've looked in Adobe Stock which I subscribe to, searched a lot online and looked at printers' free templates. But I can find almost nothing. Are there a few websites you would recommend with free templates?

Hi, I am trying to run a script that resets image fitting. I am having issues with the cropping. I don't understand the hirarchy of the geormetricbounds vs cropping vs fitting of an image in a rectangle.  I want to be able to swap image within a rectangle in a clean predicatble way witout crop values of the original image in the rectangle. I want to reset the crop to be 0 on all 4 sides like i can in the interface. set the image rectangle to be fill proportionally, autofit and be able to set an align from. When I run my script I get back and image with a crop factor on it instead of crop being [0,0,0,0] Here is a code snippet from what I have so far: targetObject.frameFittingOptions.autoFit = frameFittingOptions.autoFit;// fittingtargetObject.frameFittingOptions.fittingOnEmptyFrame = convertFromString(frameFittingOptionsFittingDefinition, frameFittingOptions.fitting);// alignmenttargetObject.frameFittingOptions.fittingAlignment = convertFromString(frameFittingO

I use keystroke commands a lot to navigate around.  Every now and then I press something by accident in InDesign and have no clue as to how to get out of it. This time, advancing through a long doc a page at a time by keystrokes suddenly stopped working as the result of a faulty keystroke command on my part.  (Ctrl-PgDown) I can click on the scroll bar at the right, and the mouse will scroll, too, but both are clunky and slow. I wondered if I'd depressed the NumLock key by accident, but whether it's locked or unlocked, the pages won't advance page by page with a keystroke command. I also looked in Edit\Preferences, but there are so many sub-menus to look at that I gave up trying to find something. So I ran a couple tests: I opened a different InDesign doc to see if the lack of scrolling is specific to the document I was working on, or to all of them.  All docs are affected. As I had a .pdf open, I used the number keys to scroll page by

Hi everyone,I'm trying to automate the "Print Booklet" feature in InDesign, specifically using the Saddle Stitch (2-up) option. My goal is to:1️⃣ Split a document into multiple PDFs, each containing 20 pages.2️⃣ Ensure that each PDF is imposed correctly for saddle stitch binding.3️⃣ Automate the process using JavaScript (ExtendScript) so I don’t have to manually use "Print Booklet" for each section.I have successfully created a script that exports the document in chunks of 20 pages, but I can't find a way to apply Print Booklet (Saddle Stitch) through scripting.🔹 Problem:InDesign doesn’t seem to expose "Print Booklet" to ExtendScript.Trying to use doc.printBooklet(PrintPreset.PDF, exportPDF); gives an error.Manually opening "Print Booklet" works, but I need automation.Has anyone managed to automate Print Booklet in InDesign?Thanks in advance! 🚀
