InDesign

Hello, i n my C++ InDesign Plug-in i use EVEMultilineTextEditBoxWidget in a dialog.If i set the text in the dialog’s controller in InitializeDialogFields(), the text initially becomes unreadable. I have to click into the text field to make it readable:  This seems not to be the text-selection, selected texts look like this: EVEMultilineTextEditBoxWidget( kFileConfirmationDialogEditTextWidgetID, // Widget ID kSysEditBoxPMRsrcId, // RsrcID kBindNone, // Binding Frame(0,0,400,200) kTrue, kTrue, // Visible, Enabled 0, // widget id of nudge button 1, // small nudge amount 10, // large nudge amount 0, // max num chars(0 = no limit) kTrue, // is read only kFalse, // should notify each key stroke (NEW) kFalse, // range checking enabled kTrue, // blank entry allowed 0, 0, // upper/lower limit "", // initial text kEVEAlignCenter | kEVEJumboSpaceAfter,), void FileConfirmationDialogController::InitializeDia

Usind latest ID version on Sequoia on two different silicon Macs (Mac Mini M4, Macbook Pro M4 Pro) – neither recognizes the GPU in Indesign (greyed out in ID Setting menu). Performance is kind of choppy as a result (I guess). Other Adobe apps, Photoshop, Illustrator, work flawlessly and recognize the GPU. Is this a known issue?   <Title renamed by MOD>

How do I set up an A5 novel? So I have my Word doc but can't seem to get the InDesign to set up properly; I can't seem to get any templates of what I need either. It's just an A5 fiction novel, about 300 pages in a Word doc. Can someone help or even make a simple template or anything...? Thanks

i created an image in 1600x2400px @150ppi and relink to a 1600x2400 web document with 50px margin, but somehow the effective ppi went down to 75 ppi. Actual ppi still remain 150. This is driving me crazy, Please help.

I have preflight set to flag images that are below 300dpi.  it works great except for one vector Illustrator file that it keeps flagging.  It’s vector, so it has no resolution?  this is the only vector image file it flags.  here are screenshots of the images, the preflight panel, and the preflight settings.  Why is it flagging this vector file as low res?

Environment: Adobe InDesign 2026, Book file with multiple documents and cross-references between separate INDD files.Has anyone successfully renamed Book documents while preserving cross-reference destinations, or is there a recommended workflow for this scenario?

Hi,Is it possible for You to make the same align tool as You did in Illustrator, the tool called Horizontal & Vertical Align Center - I just love it and I save a lot of extra “clicking”! 😆Best regardsFrode

Boa noite a todos!Toda vez que insiro imagens dentro do meu InDesign o mouse trava no ícone de carregando mesmo que eu ainda consiga mexer e selecionar coisas dentro do programa, mas quando tento inserir texto não aparece nada, ai preciso salvar meu arquivo e fechar, fechar o programa com o gerenciador de tarefas e abrir novamente para que volte ao normal. Segue um vídeo em anexo mostrando como o programa está reagindo após inserir 6 imagens em uma página qualquer. Poderiam me ajudar? Obrigado.

Is there a way without using scripting, to simply take, say 10 single indesign files (all just single 3.5x2 business card layouts) and export them to a pre-defined PDF preset resulting in 10 single PDF's? (other than one at a time?)I tried a few things from Acrobat 9 pro, one of them being File/export/export multiple files/  thinking that must be the ticket, but1) I can't find my pre-defined PDF preset in the "export to dropdown list" (but thats secondary, probably can add that in somehow, right?) and2) even when I just pick PDF/a or PDF/x it starts the process, then tries to open each indd doc but a message comes up saying it can't open the INDD  file(s) and nothing was processed.Can someone help me with this?Thank you.

Hi, one of our customers is facing this error since a few days, when they try to start adobe indesign 2026.See the attachment for the error Adobe indesign 2026 won't start on Windows. Things we did to possible fix this: Re-install of windows visual C++ latest versionRun SFC scan and DISMRe-install of Adobe indesign 2026checkdisk Adobe indesign 2025 is still running on the system without errors Configuration of the laptopHP ZBook 17 G6CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9850H CPU @ 2.60GHz32GB memoryWindows 11 build 24H2 

Suddenly, my InDesign is giving me 110 Pre-Flight errors, all saying that my Segoe UI font is missing.  It appears in the document OK but how do I get rid of the error messages and assuage the software?  Do I somehow reinstall the font? 

I am working on a complex book with an index. This book has several conditions. When I make the index, InDesign still includes the index markers of the hidden conditional text. How can I make it only include the index markers of the visible conditional text?For example, the two highlighted items relating to C-Zone switching are in hidden conditional text and should not be included in the index.  

Hi I am trying to work out how to set InDesign hyperlinks to open a new tab in a browser. It is not convenient for me to recreate or edit the links in Acrobat as we have alot of links within documents, so I am looking for an InDesign solution. Kind regardsDaniel

I published an online document using “Publish Online.” The initial upload worked perfectly — the link was created, the document name was applied, my preset settings were saved, and everything displayed correctly.However, after making edits to the same file and republishing to update the existing link, I started experiencing issues. Sometimes the link shows the updated version, and other times it still displays the old version of the file. This happens even when I check in an incognito/private browser window, so it doesn’t appear to be a cache issue on my side.Has anyone experienced this problem before or found a reliable solution?

For example:Search: (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) (F) (G) (H) (I) (J) (K) (L) (M) (N)Replace with: $1 ${12}That is: AL The actual result is as follows:A${12}It seems that ${12} is invalid 

Hello,I’m working with an InDesign Book file .indb, and although the Book feature is very useful, I’m finding some limitations during production.I would like to understand whether there is a better workflow, or whether these are current limitations of InDesign Books.My main issues are:Master Pages / Parent Pages sync Is there a way to automatically sync Parent Pages across all .indd documents in a Book? For example, if I edit a Parent Page in one document, I would like that change to update automatically in the other documents in the .indb. Styles sync I know the Book panel has synchronization options for styles, but the process feels too manual. Is there a way to make style synchronization more dynamic? For example, if I rename a paragraph style or change its properties in one document, can that update automatically across the whole Book? Endnotes across Book documents This is the most important issue for me: is there any way to keep endnotes in a separate .indd document within the Bo

   I am trying to export an InDesign file as a Reflowable EPUB file. When I attempt to do this, InDesign become unresponsive and I get the spinning beach ball on my Mac. I can export this file as a Fixed Layout EPUB file. This file is for my students who are using a variety of devices, which is why I want a Reflowable EPUB file and not a Fixed Layout EPUB.   My InDesign file was created from a 19-page Word file (docx). Cover is set to None. InDesign freezes when attempting to create either EPUB 2.0.1 and EPUB 3.0 files. I have tried rebuilding the InDesign preferences, but that does not help. Last week I did not have this problem.   I am working on a Mac running Big Sur 11.6.2. InDesign is version 17.0.1.Thanks,EV

I've updated to 2025 and since then everything is so slow. Especially when I work with text and documents with a lot of styles  - it's for a magazine, so you want al those styles. I work on a Mac Studio and Sonoma 14.7.Instead of working direct from a server, I copied my files to my desktop to see if that would be better, but it isn't. The fonts I use are all otf, so that also shouldn't be a problem.I can't go back to an older version since most of our customers also work with InDesign2025...

Just started using ID 2025 this morning and I'm noticing a LOT of lag time with pretty much any activity. I'm running a Mac Studio with an M2 Ultra, so it's not my computer. I've tried some simple troubleshooting but it is simply not responding like ID 2024. Help!

InDesign works slowly after installing 2025 upgrade. Any solution?   <Title renamed by MOD>

When I click on an open InDesign window, it disappears behind other program windows. I need to either reset my workspace or switch the Application Frame on or off. I’m now having to do this every 5-10 minutes, which is utterly ridiculous. I’ve been plagued with issues for a number of years now, and it’s an absolute hindrance which really affects my workflow. I’ve also tried binning the pref file on multiple occasions, which makes no difference whatsoever. Does anyone have a ‘permanent’ solution for this? You have no idea how appreciated it would be if you did. Thanks.

I’ve written in ExtendScript the include part like this:In the file ec_general_DEV.jsx, which is the file to be included:function general (g){    this.g = g;    this.remove_trailing_linefeeds = function (str){ // general_class        while (str.slice(-1).charCodeAt() == 10 || str.slice(-1).charCodeAt() == 13) str = str.slice(0, -1);        return str;    }... and in the file which is including the ec_general_DEV.jsx:#target indesign;#include '/Library/Scripts/Adobe Automation/ec_general_DEV.jsx';g = {}INST_gene = new general (g); // New instance// Example of usagegeneral_txt = INST_gene.remove_trailing_linefeeds (g.source_PI.rows[39].cells[1].contents) + '\r';And I'm trying to make it work in UXP environment.//@include '/Library/Scripts/Adobe Automation/ec_general_DEV.jsx'; Many thanks in advance!Cheers!Funtom 

Since the InDesign update to 21.0, exporting to interactive PDF (for a fillable form) has dramatically increased the height of checkboxes in the resulting PDF. This results in them overlapping each other (see image) and other odd behavior (for example: clicking the checkbox places the checkmark at the bottom of the box, which was its original location, but then after clicking out of the box, the checkmark moves up to be vertically centered within the now taller bounding box). Radio buttons are also affected in the same way, but not normal input fields. I've reverted InDesign to version 20.5, which fixed the issue for me.

Undo steps disappear automatically while working.Undo history resets to ~3 entries without any undo action being triggered.This happens reproducibly every ~10 seconds.Preflight is disabled.Reproducible in:- new documents- local files (no cloud documents)- fresh installs- multiple machinesWindows 11.Photoshop is not affected.  please help : (
