InDesign

Cuando exporto a PDF interactivo, unos botones funcionan y otros no. Alguien sabe por qué pasa esto? Todos los botones los hago de la misma forma. La interactividad en EPUB funciona perfectamente. Los botones tienen marcadores y vinculan a destino.Lo he probado 30 veces y estoy desesperado. Alguien sabe por qué pasa esto?Gracias!!

I am currently using this GREP to select when there are certain words+Numbers or other characters in brackets.(\(|\[)(Bild|Fig|Pos|Item|Pic|Photo|Abb)\s*\.*\d*\+*\d*\.*\s*~e*(\)|\]) This expression isn't ideal because it won't work if there are numbers and plus symbols one after another multiple times (as seen in the screenshot below).Is there a GREP expression that finds open bracket + Word and then selects everything until it finds a closed bracket?

InDesign overloading CPU usage on basic tasks. Running the most recent version 20.0.1 and it has a major technical issue so don’t update until Adobe has a fix. Otherwise you wil be stuck waiting for files to open, save and do basic operations.  Any solutions welcome 🙂 

Hi, I have couple of headings starting from the new page.   I have created a "Heading" style and given before space of 32 points and after space of 16 points. Heading point size is 20 points and leading is 16 points. Both Heading and text are aligned to custom baseline using object style. I have also used inset values in object style.   Now the issue is when the heading is between the text, it works fine but the moment it starts in a new page, "Before space" does not work. I know that "Before space" will not work here BUT I need a 32 point space before Heading One and Heading Three. How do I achieve that without using a new Parent Page. I have made an alternative heading method also with Rule Above ON and keeping it in frame with offset but that does not work here.   Any suggestions? I have attached screenshot and idml file.   Thanks <Title renamed by MOD>

I know there's a work around for this but it's ridiculous that I still have to hold down certain keys for InDesign to open on my Macbook Pro. When I try to open, I see the logo but then nothing. We pay too much money to use this for it to not work.

Ciao a tutti, come posso rendere attivi dei pulsanti, che portano a delle pagine web specifiche, su un pdf interattivo visulaizzato su mobile iphone? Il punsalte creato è un qrcode e funziona su mac.grazie

Hi team. I wanted to share what I do with documents using endnotes that want to have the same endnote referenced, using the same number, multiple times (sometimes many times) throughout a document. I couldn't find a good conversation about this in the forum and would love to hear others' solutions or thoughts on this one.My team, among many other things, produce long documents in the health sector where various mentions of product benefits trigger inclusion of a disclaimer, for which we use endnotes.Often, a product benefit is mentioned multiple times, sometimes many times, throughout a document.To illustrate, we might have "wellness benefit" mentioned on page 2, with an automatic endnote linked to endnote #1. It's also mentioned on pages 3, 6, 9, and 16. Each time, the same #1 should appear. But then an edit comes in that adds a new endnote on page 1. "Wellness benefit" reference on page 2 would be updated automatically, but not the rest of them. Obviously this would cause headac

Hello good buddies, I have searched and looked for the right solution. However, I am looking for a solution for my own project description template. I am therefore looking for a way to insert data into a text box or table, for example, with ID#1 on page 1, which then automatically inserts the exact same value in the text box/table with ID#1 on page 2.I am aware that this can be done using Type > Text Variables > Define..., BUT this is not a viable solution for what I need. Is there a kind person who can explain how to solve this?Thanks in advance.Best regards,Carsten

Hello, I couldn't find out why the footnote numbers disappeared when exporting as ePub from indesign. Is there anyone who can help with this?

Hallo Ihr Lieben,ich brauche dringend Hilfe, da ich so mit InDesign nicht weiterarbeiten kann. Ich kann Objekte nicht mehr richtig mit der Maus verschieben (aber mit dem Cursor gehts) und Ebenen kann ich auch nicht mehr umsortieren. Wenn ich auf ein Objekt klicke und es verschieben möchte, kommt ein rotes Warnsymbol. Ich habe schon Neustart gemacht und eingestellt, dass die Voreinstellungen beim Beenden von InDesign gelöscht werden. Hilft nix. In Illustrator funktioniert alles. Was kann ich machen?Danke!!!

When I plug my laptop into a second monitor and have the display extended (double connected screens), there is a gap between where my mouse is and were the text frame (for example) that I am moving is located. It seems to be directly related with my laptop. I hooked a different laptop up to the monitor and there was no issue. I hooked my laptop up to a separate monitor and still had the same issue. Any ideas why this is happening? It does not happen on illustrator and I have uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign as well as tried installing older versions of InDesign.

In Preflight Error dialog; What does this mean?Problem: Content generates Cyan, Magenta, or Yellow plate.What do I do to edit the source file and resolve the problem?

I'd like to reinstall ID and just import the fixed settings file and get to work, what a relief!Does the preferences file now contain these settings?Perhaps the preferences should include these settings.Also, now the script folder “Samples” under the folder shortcuts are supported, if the Grep also support it, so that each time you modify can be placed on the D disk, not worried about losing. Thanks.

I have an Indesign book consisting of several chapters (about 500 pages in total). One of these chapters is the index, a normal document in which I have created interactive buttons that open the other chapters (in the exported interactive Adobe PDF).The problem only occurs when I open the index chapter, and when I do, all the other chapters open at the same time, sometimes directly in the upper document bar, sometimes in background (I know because a dot appears next to the documents in the Books tab). I then usually try to close all the other documents except the index, but when I click on a button and then open the Buttons/Modules tab, the document linked to the button opens again.Now, how can I avoid this problem? This is very annoying as my PC freezes and takes forever to open all the documents. I'm currently using version 20.0.1 x64 on a Windows 11 OS.

Hello InDesign community, I posted my issues on InDesign community regarding the error in fonts after exporting from InDesign that blockes the public acessibility to my work in this post click  and acrobat community in this click Unfortunately, my issues are still unresolved and was badly neglected for almost a month. So I am posting my issues here again, hoping that the support team will take my case more seriously, at best I want to get it fixed  but at least I want to know that it's fixable and it's still worth using this app or not.  Thank you in advance. 

I am creating a multi-page table that has a lot of information in some of it's cells. If I expanded the rows to show everything the table would be very long. Not what I want. I would like a way to save it in a virtual format that when you clicked on the cell, the hidden text would show up in a popup. #1) Is that possible, and how? #2) If not, are there any applications I can export the indesign table to that I can do this? 

I have a two page cover (front and back of a wrap around) where I'd like to reproduce the front page on a separate page, actively linked back to the appropriate section of the two-page. The idea being if something is updated on the two-page cover it automatically updates on the single-page as well. I feel I've seen this before, but I'm not finding the right terms to search for. Or am I just dreaming something up? I could of course, do a separate file and then link it into the other. Yet, if possible I'd minimise the amount of files drifting around to reduce confusion. I'd appreciate any hints to do this or standard practices that flow into this way of working. Many thanks in advance!

Hi, I am working on a book layout. I set up a book file for my individual chapters; however, in one instance, some numbers were skipped between chapters. Why might this be happening, and how can I resolve it?  

Is there a shortcut to dragging a file into a frame on my page and have that image file fit to frame, instead of actual size and I have to got click on fit to frame?

Hi everyone!I have to layout a document and I usually receive .doc and .rtf files.But this time I received a folder with 2 files, one called styles.xml and the other called content.usx.I renamed the .usx file to .xml and imported it into a new Indesign document.Now I have the Structure panel and if I drag the content to the blank page all the text is placed without problems BUT it has no character styles or paragraph styles.How can I import the styles that appear in the styles.xml file so I can assign the Tags to those styles?Thank you very much for your help!!!!

InDesign CC 2025 V20.1Windows 11 ProRAM 16 GBHDD 800 GB Free spaceWhen I open InDesign, it gets stuck on "Executing startup services" indefinitely. I have to press Ctrl+Alt+Del to close the program, then sign out of my account and sign back into Adobe CC before I can reopen InDesign. However, if I close the program again, I have to repeat the sign-out and sign-in process every time—it doesn’t work permanently after just one fix. 

Infuriated with 2025, objects are simply not moving up or downHave all the updates and am paying £££ to watch nothing happen  

Hello! I am hoping someone can help me please with interactive buttons! I have created a map that has different layers for each service we have in that area  - all created in Indesign. The final aim is to have an interactive PDF.  I wanted the user to be able to click a button in a key to show a layer/ particular service and unclick it to turn it off if needed.  How do I do this? I have tried creating buttons but can't see an easy way to show layers as an action?
