Hello everyone,Im currently working to convert the idml file into html and try to fix this via automation. And tried with some extendscript codeMain(); function Main() { // Check to see whether any InDesign documents are open. // If no documents are open, display an error message. if (app.documents.length > 0) { var myDoc = app.activeDocument; // Build the filename var myDocName = decodeURI(myDoc.fullName); var myDocBaseName = myDocName.substring(0, myDocName.lastIndexOf(".")); // Export the page to FXL HTML with (myDoc.htmlFXLExportPreferences) { // HTMLRangeFormat = PageRangeFormat.EXPORT_ALL_PAGES HTMLRangeFormat = PageRangeFormat.EXPORT_PAGE_RANGE // HTMLPageRange = "1-2"; } myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.HTMLFXL, new File(myDocBaseName + ".html"), true); } else { // No documents are open, so display an error message. alert("No InDesign documents are open. Please open a document and try again.") } }My requirement is to convert the idml file in
I accidentally deleted an endnote, no 67, in a book I'm working on. I have tried to reinsert it on the original page in the text and to get all the subsequent endnotes to reorder, but every time I do this it stubbornly goes right to the end of the endnotes, no 131, and also appears as 131 in the text. This is driving me mad, and I'm frightened of messing up all the endnotes in the book. If anyone can suggest how I resolve this I would be most grateful!Tom.
Hi,I have created an InDesign document with three columns. In column 1 are 4 regions, North, South, West and East. In column 2 are the corresponding suppliers of each region and in column 3 are the contact details of each supplier with hyperlinks.In column 1 and 2, all regions and text boxes are converted into buttons. These buttons have the property of making the other buttons visible or invisible.When opening the pdf, only column 1 is visible. For example, if you click on region North then the corresponding suppliers will be visible in column 2 and if you click on one of the suppliers then its contact information will be visible in column 3.If you then click on another region then the data in columns 2 and 3 should become invisible. That is where it goes wrong, in column 3 the contact data remains visible while it is set to invisible.I have already saved the document as .idml and reopened it but that does not help.Attached are some screenshots for clarification, the InDesign document
Has anyone ever written a script to merge all tables (multiple not just one) in a document and then export the completed table to excel? I need to extract the data from tables to then be used in excel format in a structure format in one single spreadsheet?
(I need to translate everything from Dutch to Englsih, so maybe some words are not translated right)Hello!I need to assign 100+ hyperlinks to different elements in my InDesign file, so I need keyboard shortcut to do it faster.

I'm new to ID and am working on proposals. I need to place hundreds of pages of Word text that have embedded graphics and tables in them. The graphics and tables that are the width of the text (6.5" width) seem to place well and are anchored within the text, which is what I want, but I'm having trouble with graphics and tables that are smaller and need text wrapping. What's the best way to be able to have text wrap around them in ID but also have them anchored to the text they are relevant to. Once placed, when I select them and click on "Wrap around bounding box" in the Text Wrap window, nothing happens. If I can, I'd like to avoid stripping those graphics and tables out of the Word doc, saving them, and then placing them into ID. On a related note, graphics that are 11x17 seem to break the autotext flow; is there a better solution to that than removing the graphic via the Story Editor? Thanks so much!
Deseo saber si en InDesign existe una función igual o similar a la que hay en Ilustrador para adaptar una mesa de trabajo a la obra de arte, como se muestra en la ligadura adjunta; esto, con el fin de evitar o disminuir en InDesign, la serie de pasos que se requieren para adaptar las dimensiones de una hoja a las dimensiones de un marco de texto. Gracias. https://app.screencast.com/yk4CqH1plSoXb
Bonjour,Je vais essayer d'expliquer clairement mon problème.Je travaille avec un deuxième écran, résolution différente de l'écran principal. Jusqu'à aujourd'hui, je n'avais aucun problème.Aujourd'hui sur InDesign, lorsque je travaille sur cet écran secondaire, j'ai un problème étrange d'affichage. Au moment où je saisi un objet avec le pointeur pour le déplacer, cet objet se retrouve subitement décalé de plusieurs mm en X et en Y par rapport à sa position initiale.Tout le reste de l'interface fonctionne bien, tous les menus, les boutons, les outils dans les différentes fenêtres. Au moment de créer les objets, aucun souci. C'est seulement au moment de déplacer par "cliquer-glisser" que ça bug.Je mets une capture d'écran pour l'exemple. J'ai créé ce carré rouge. Au moment où je clique dessus pour le déplacer, il apparait bien plus en haut à gauche (on voit son contour d'objet), alors que le pointeur de la souris est bien au niveau du carré rouge.Le bug survient sur tous les fichiers indd
I am reaching out to request assistance with a persistent issue I am experiencing with hyphenation in InDesign, particularly when working with both Cyrillic and Latin scripts in the Serbian language. Despite ensuring that dictionaries are correctly installed and configured, the hyphenation function fails to operate as expected. This issue is not limited to Serbian; I have also encountered problems with English hyphenation. However, when I adjust the settings to use the Proximity method, English hyphenation resumes normal function, an adjustment that, regrettably, does not resolve the issue for Serbian.This problem is not unique to my experience, suggesting a broader issue that affects multiple InDesign users on MacOS. The lack of functional hyphenation severely impacts the professionalism and efficiency of our work, creating significant annoying inconvenience.I kindly request your guidance or a solution to address this malfunction. Any suggestions, updates, or workarounds that could al
I am in the process of folding a large publication (over 250 pages) and making an accessible version of it. The publication has a lot of numbered footnotes. I tested how the screen reader reads the footnotes and it reads the reference number in the text, but not what is written in the reference information. This publication also contains links as references, but also explanations and the names of the source publication. What would be the best way to solve this so that the reading experience is smooth for the screen reader? It is a terrible job to make links to numbers manually. How have you solved such issues? The publication has been folded in InDesign and the footnotes have been transferred from the client's Word document to the fold. The footnote numbers have their own style, just like the footnotes for the texts. I have also defined the footnotes in the Document footnote options. As far as I understand, they have been made correctly, but there is no link between the number and
How do I change the position of bullets in indesign?
I have a complex InDesign document that has several images. Starting this morning, I can no longer move anything in the document using the mouse. The only way I can move anything is by using the arrow keys. Any ideas?
I have a multi page document with ~80 pages. each page has some MSOs with show/hide states and some with 10-20 state options. I am looking to link from one page to another and trigger a specific MSO state for the new page load. think of the use case as a map of roads. The map is spread out accross multiple pages. some roads will end at the edge of one page and continue on another. I have buttons where the road ends, and another on the second page where they continue. I want the buttons to load the continuing page, and then trigger the MSO I have that highlights the corresponding connection point. This may be confusing, but essentially I want a specific button/hyperlink to trigger a specific MSO state on a new page. As object IDs for mostpage items are number generated, I am only able to identify specific MSOs by their class= using their Object Style, and the name= by naming the MSO and Object State.
Sometimes tables are not aligned to the bottom of the typearea, and need to be adjusted manually, and I find that the default step is 1mm.This is not practical.I need to try 2-5 times to determine the value of the row height. Can't this be set in the software?Thank you.

Hello everyone, I lost a whole day trying to figure out what is happening here. I am trying to use the data merge function and it keeps behaving the wrong way.This is my CSV (there is more fields but I cropped to give you an idea on a few items)Instead of reading each line as a project it reads each cell one by one and apply them in order in the indesign layout. This is a test file to show you, so here are the fieldsThen when I preview it looks okBut then when I clock to preview each page it keeps reading the data from the first line of the CSV as a continuous stream of dataAnd this keeps ongoing until all the data from the first line has been read it moves on to the second line of the CSV and so onThis is driving me insane I have tried everything, different export options, different import options, it seems to be coming from how indesign wants to read the CSV as the CSV file looks fine. Any ideas? Please someone help me!

Bonjour, j'ai un problème car je ne peux plus déplacer image et texte sur iN DESIGN. Un rond rouge barré me signale que l'action est impossible. Rien n'est vérouillé. J'ai désinstallé l'application, et l'ai réinstallé, même problème. Idem avec un nouveau document. Je ne peux que déplacer les images et textes avec des flêches, ce qui est très long. Pourriez-vous m'aider svp? Merci.
Hi, I set up a table in InDesign, but for some reason, my text doesn't align with the baseline grid. I double-checked all of the settings, and it doesn't seem like anything is wrong. Why is this happening, and how might I be able to fix it? Thank you!
Hello, I have a document with many tables with the same Table Style.All the tables have two columns.I have managed to make a java script (jsx) that can change the width of the two columns and applied this automatically to all the tables in the document. Now, I would like to swap the two columns in every table in the document, so that the leftmost column becomes the rightmost one. If anyone has a few lines of code to accomplish this, it would be great. With best regards from, Geir Braathen
As the subject says, how long until I get a human response from the email "idfile@adobe.com"? I sent an email today with a file attached to it, as I had issues just trying to open it.The file I sent is a school project that's due by the end of the semester. It was able to open just find the past few weeks working on it, but today it just refused to open. Both the main copy and the back up copy refused to open, and I didn't know why. I'm hoping that by sending the file to the Adobe team, they'll be able to figure out why it won't open.I guess in the end, I'm just anxious on getting the file back as soon as possible so I can get back to working on my project without having to start over from scratch.
