InDesign

Hi everybody,I would like to make a list in which my images appear with the sources. For example, I have the following figure caption ‘Fig. 7: Germany physical’. The source is ‘Botaurus-stellaris, CC BY-SA 3.0 Via Wikimedia Commons’. The figure number should automatically appear in the list next to the source. Should I create an Excel file where I enter the caption and the source? And then what? Any suggestion?Or will I have to complete it manually just before printing?By the way, this time also I have some good advice: my editor's graphic designer has sent me two screenshots made with ID Tasker for Indesign, must be a great tool as far as he tells me and I can understand (see pictures attached).Thanks in advance for your help!Marlene 

does anyone have a script/grep code/or asian dictionary I could import use in InDesign to ensure Asian characters dont break incorrectly within indesign? without using the CJK InDesign version?

I am creating a 1/2 fold brochure on 8.5x11 paper. I've attached a screenshot of the Properties panel. My document is a multiple of 4. 12 pages divided by 4 equals 3 sheets of paper. When I attempt to export the PostScript file, InDesign tells me that 2 blank pages have been added to create the booklet. All pages contain text and/or graphics.  I create booklets on 11x17 paper all the time and have never had this issue. What step have I missed in my document set up?

 is it possible to track  clicks on these adobe generated qr codes? if so how? if not I understand already created codes won't nessisarilty have the correct data in them.. whats the simplest way to use/ intrgrate  this into this service.. or should I look at another generator?or could the folks at Adobe look at making this an easy part of the generator.. I cant be the only person wanting to know how many folks have used a QR code --right?  

I have the feeling I've asked this before but I can't bring any answer to mind.   Is there any way to export a Unicode glyph-code directly to exported output (EPUB or HTML) without it being modified into text? I seem to recall some code, setting, override... something.   For example, if I put ࢐ in text and export it to EPUB, I get... "blah blah ࢐ blah blah" in the XHTML output. If I edit '&' to just '&' — boom, I get the left-arrow I wanted.   So is there any way to mark or flag that code for export without the modification? I feel as if I'm missing something, and that something may be "no, you can't do that." 🙂   I've discovered that if you cut and paste the actual glyph (from a symbols web page, for example) it may show a Dreaded Pink Box in InDesign, but seems to export exactly as desired. Looking for a better method, though.     ETA: I've also discovered there's a very peculiar little script in the Community

Hi Team, I am sorry for being so unspecific but I would not even know how to google it. Please see the screenshot, and the three red arrows. Showing the pages it suddenly shows these three columns (before that there was just one, I have no idea what changed. It happened while doing indesign tutorials) - and it does that now on EVERY indesign file I open. I already did a reset on all indesign presets, it did not help...Help would really be appreciated!!    Kind regards

Hello,I'm writing a text with a lot of inline math equations and references to variables. Inserting a MathML object works, where it automatically adjusts the offset from the baseline. However, if I edit the object again, the offset doesn't update according to the new elements. The same also happens if I copy an object (say a variable) to a different part of the text, the offset resets to zero. I have to go into edit MathML on the object I want to copy, copy the MathML, go to the part of the text I want, insert MathML. And it's really tedious. Is this just because the feature is in its infancy? Is it a bug? Or is there something I'm missing? Perhaps there's a hotkey to automatically adjust offset?

So.. 300 page project starts giving this error in some pages, tables still visible but no page, no photos. they are still there but I cant visualize them, when I export it just doesnt let me. I need urgent help, pls someone help me 😕😕  

Hola, en INDESIGN igual que en PHOTOSHOP necesito tener los mismos ESPACIO DE TRABJO persolalizado y ATAJO DE TECLADO en distintos equipos.Cómo puedo cansegirlo, dónde están los archivos del sistema que supuestamenbte tendría que copiar? GRACIAS

Hi Team, We are trying to fetch metadata of indd file from indesign server 2024 but we are  unable to extract font properties of text frames of some fonts version . ex : Helvetica Neue Lt COM. This font is having two versionsbeing used in indd file one is regular and another is bold. For regular version we are able to get all the properties successfully but for bold some trivial properties we are not getting like : postscriptname, specifically on windows virtual machine. The same issue is occuring for multiple fonts on VM only.For the same file we tried locally (by using indesign application) in both windows and mac and it is working fine.  Everybody Please help us !! It's critical for us. Thanks!!  

When I try to relink a missing library item I can't search for it.The top bar is greyed out.I can only search when I am not trying to relink.I have thousands of items and they are sorted alphabetical instead of in the groups I created.I tried telling the options panel to collapse groups but this never works in relinking mode, only when not relinking.

Based on a post from yet another terminally confused novice today, and too many over the years, I present trivial UI fixes for comment and possible action:   Confusing as hell to novices, not unknown to trip up more experienced users. Looks like the checkbox controls both keep options, leads to hours of rage when paragraph lines won't behave as expected:   5 minute fix that probably doesn't even require a full testing protocol, clearer if still not as perfectly clear as it could be:    10 minute fix, would likely require testing cycle but essentially eliminates the confusion by even a brand new user: (Maybe default to/limit lowest number of lines to 1 just for an added sparkle of clarity?)   Absolutely zero actual functionality/core code change required with either. All just UI layout and hooks.   Maybe a visiting Employee can pass this along, saving a tedious year of marinating in the Suggestions box.

I can't figure out why this is happening. Another user posted about it in 2016, and the post was moved to the "epub forum" and was never answered. I have known of the (theoretical) existance of this forum, but seems like something changed on the website and we can't actually search for anything in that "forum" or post anything directly to it—even if we add the epub subject tag. But trying anyway. The file is currently built in CC2018 and I have not really run into this before. The chapters are in a Book file. There is no overset text, nor extra returns or page breaks at the ends of the file. All text and objects are in a single thread in the documents. When previewing the epub in iBooks there seems to be anywhere for 5 to 16 or so added blanks. looking at the HTML in the unzipped files these are divs with a uniquely numbered image container and a class, within a Basic Text Fram class. Like so:<div class="_idGenObjectLayout-3"><div id="_idContainer287" class="Basic-Te

Good weekend, ladies and gentlemen. Always wanted to have a panel that opens up common InDesign locations.It could be like ID's own panel: hover, hide. It will be amazing.Customizable to add paths, remove paths.Including where scripts, grep, shortcuts are stored.You could even set the most recent working directory. 

Hi, I have been developing EPUBs using Indesign. But, recently I see, InDesign export using Section, figure tags instead div in certain places like images, footnotes. <section class="_idFootnotes" role="doc-endnotes"> These are not recognized by Sigil epub component and giving validation errors. I tried with both Indesign 2025 and 2024. Both are exporting the same. This is something new compared to last versions. Did anyone faced the same issue? Is it possible to export without these Section and figure classes? Best Regards,Eswari

I am New to Indesign. I am going to publish a catalog on issuu and want to,as I am a inexperienced designer,to use a template. However, How do I turn of facing pages as there are no Properties panel in the Norwegian Version?{Renamed by MOD}

Hi, Dear Friends!The default separator is a line between the text above and the FN below. Is there a way I can change this by adding text, etc, (like making the separator " - - NOTES --" ) and can I add a graphic?Not too much to ask for 🙂Thank you, and have a good day!Susan Flamingo

Bonjour,Je monte un document avec beaucoup de texte en arabe.Le problème c'est au niveau des ponctuations, les points notamment. Lorsqu'ils sont au milieu d'un paragraphe tout va bien, mais s'ils sont à la fin d'un paragraphe et que suit un passage à la ligne, le point va se décaler en fin de ligne et pas en fin de phrase. Un exemple ci-dessous plus clair :Le point devrait être à gauche, pas à droite. Il en va de même pour les parenthèses qui ne s'alignent pas correctement.Pour info, j'utilise la typo Adapter Arabic Text, et je suis en Compositeur de paragraphe universel Adobe.Une idée ?Merci d'avance.

Ich habe InDesign CS6 neu instalieren müssen weil der PC abgestürzt ist.Bei der Installation wird mir jetzt der Fehler angezeigt, dass InDesign bereits auf 2 Endgeräten instaliert wäre. Deaktivieren kann ich es leider nicht, da der alte PC abgestürzt ist und kein Zugriff mehr darauf besteht. Auf einem 2ten PC ist es nicht instaliert. Wie kann ich die Seriennummer wieder für meinen aktuellen PC freigeben?!

Why arent' the fonts adding when clicking on 'add' by the character dropdown?? 

I am working through the lessons in InDesign CC 2017 Classroom in a Book. In Lesson 3, we create a master page with a placeholder for a running header. Then, we replace the text that is on the master page with final document text. The instructions are (on page 78):--------------------------- Replacing placeholder text1 Select the Type tool (T).  Hold down Shift+Ctrl and then click within the placeholder text frame on page 2 that contains "Placeholder Text". Replace the placeholder text with Egrets and Herons .--------------------------I cannot get this to work no matter what I do. When I delete the placeholder text, the text frame is also deleted, and I cannot type in the replacement text. I have tried adding a new text frame, but cannot accomplish this. (The text frame is within another element on the master page, but I am not sure what the element is because the lesson had me place the placeholder element as a part of a much larger element with multiple parts.)When I hold down

Boa tarde,O executor do indesign não está abrindo no meu computador e não consigo instalar o app. O que posso fazer?

For years, we've been creating charts in Infogram, exporting as PDF, and importing them into our InDesign reports. The exporting the full report as an Interactive PDF. Just last month, when I export our final report, it has been changing the tracking in the source lines. The charts are perfect when viewed in Acrobat, they're perfect in the Indesign preview, and they're perfect when opened in Illustrator (not only that, but the fonts are OUTLINED(!). However, type is bunching up as though it was tracked too tight during the export.The font is Roboto, and it's active on my system.I am BAFFLED by this! Has anyone seen this?

When I place a photoshop doc to an indeisgn file the image is too small, way too small. The canvas sizes are identical so this shouldn't be an issue. I have used these two applications like this for years and never had this issue. I even tried screen sharing with Adobe techs and they couldn't figure it out.     <Title renamed by moderator>

I have already posted this in UserVoice, but cross-posting here so others can see my workaround. And who knows, maybe suggest a better workaround?I am creating flowcharts within InDesign as it seems to work better for me than in Illustrator. The Layers Panel allows me to do this. But I really, really wish I didn't have to do this workaround. These are my personal notes for future reference:Grouping for complex assemblages of objects: creating a new groupThis is needed because the Layers Panel won't allow you to group items deep in the Layers Panel, only if they're at the top level; you can't create a "Group within a Group."- Use Layers Panel- Keep two objects (doesn't matter what) off the page named "Dummy Object," select them with the mouse, then Menu > Object > Group- Rename this to what you want your group's name to be- Drag TWO OR MORE objects or groups into this group- Drag the two Dummy Objects to the top of the Layers panelto get them out of the group- Drag the new group t
