InDesign

I have created a photo book. It has a front cover, and two page spreads. The problem is auto-numbering starts on the front cover but I want it to start on the first page with content. Have speant an hour or so googling and reading threads here but not found a solution. Have tried adding a master with no styles to page #1 (front cover). Section doesn't start from it (context-click shows Start Section greyed out). I context-click page #2 and see: I start section but ID complains there is already a page number one.  I ignore it and click OK but then my pages are shuffled, and I end up with two single pages. I cannot rearrange pages: Any help much appreciated.

I recently upgraded to InDesign 2024 from an old version. Previously when you would select text by scrolling over the text, it would be smooth. Now it seems like the cursor snapps to each character and sometimes jumps one character that you didn't want to highlight. Also there is an icon that comes up in the text block.  Is there any way to revert to legacy on selecting text? Thanks

I've seen a couple posts about this error message, but none of the solutions worked for me. I'm getting this with error with all my files. All of the links will be linked, but it seems like InDesign is having an issue when it has to pull links from multiple folders within SharePoint. It's never had this issue before though. It also won't let me connect to my Creative Cloud library. I have already: - restarted my computer- uninstalled and reinstalled SharePoint and Indesign  Even my coprorate IT department is stumped. Please help! 

In the IGraphicsPort interface, there is a virtual function: virtual void setgradient(AGMGradient *agmGrad, const PMMatrix& grMatrix, const PMReal &xOrig, const PMReal &yOrig, const PMReal &len, const PMReal &ang, const PMReal &hiliteLen, const PMReal &hiliteAng) = 0; I couldn't find a precise definition of the first parameter, AGMGradient *agmGrad. I assume that this requires a pointer to some other object, but how should this object be created? What exactly needs to be passed in?

Necesito descargar una version mas antigua pero no se como hacerlo, muchas gracias

Please choose a valid file to proceed. UNQUOTE Many thanks in advance for your help. With kind regards, M.

Hello, as mentioned, I would like to be able to insert some data from a series of photographs (about 1000) automatically, within the Indesign captions.Currently I am able to recover some data from these (color profile, size, name of the picture etc.) via text variables, while I cannot recall others (some information on the lens used, shutter speed etc.) although present in the metadata of the photographs. Furthermore, I can't change the format of the Creation date, and I can't get the shooting time (also present in the info panel).Can someone help me? Many thanks!

I would like to remove a ton of linked files and their respective frames throughout my ID file. For example:i want to remove thes linked files and the graphic frames they reside in. Possible? 

Hello,This problem is very difficult to explain from words. Hence I'm attaching my files. I'm trying to get my number list as you see in the attached pdf. I tried hours. But I'm unable to make my styles to get numbers automatically like this. I have attached working indesign file too. So if someone can tell me how to fix this indesign styles to get numbe lists same as in the pdf file, I really appreciate it.Let me try to explain the problem shortly. 1st heading is the section heading (1 Brand principles). It should go to the whole section as #1. It will go to #2 in the 2nd section. 2nd heading is Section Sub Head (1.1Logo usage). Every page have different section sub head and it should be numbered 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc. Once section 2 started, Section Sub Head should be numbered 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 etc. Hope this is clear enough. Looking forward for help. Thank you soo much!!!Pradi

Is there a way within Adobe CC to create a QR code that generates a pre-written text message sending to a pre-determined number on the phone when scanned?

I've been searching these discussions for the workaround since ADPDF9.PPD doesn't work anymore, nor is there an Adobe PDF Printer option. I have my spreads set up and am using the Print Booklet command. But the options to set the output to 11x17 are grayed out. The Printer is a Postscript File, and the PPD is Device Independent. The resulting output is half the spread (8.5 x 11) as a Postscript file, which converts to PDF when clicked on but is useless.  I'm on a deadline to create 5 translated booklets! And I don't want to manually do the printer spreads. Any help is greatly appreciated. 

I would think this would be easy to figure out, but apparently not.  I am trying to view my front and back covers as a single spread.  I have facing pages, but am unable to find a way to do this.Anyone know?  Thanks.

Hi, I'm having a problem with InDesign fonts currently and I can't seem to find a fix.FYI I have tried filling the Fonts folder in C:Program Files>Common Files>Adobe but to no avail, problem still persists. > Installed font is working and showing in the fonts menu> InDesign randomly says the font is missing after closing then reopening the file (even with 5mins apart and without having closed the software or rebooted my pc), which makes me fight with the font replacement tool to replace the missing fonts (sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't)> When exporting to PDF I get an error saying that a font is missing even though preflight is clear of errorsPreflight status: When I export: When I ignore the alert and export anyway, random textboxes get turned into a default system font, which is hard to spot in a document loaded with text and pages. Also, where I work we're using an InDesign/InCopy workflow, the same issue persists on InCopy also (but I tol

My basic paragraph has the Garamond 11 font.Suddenly the value has changed to 11(9.45)  in the window above and in the text, although both the paragraph style and the character style are still Garamond 11.What does this mean and how can I change it. All percentages seem to be 100%.I hope you can help me.MTIAMarlene 

My breif graphic design training taught me that you should not have single or double words at the end of paragraphs.  What is the "right" way to prevent these within a text box? If I have consistent text formatting throughout a document, I don't want to stretch the text boxes in inconsistent ways.  Hard return after the third last word in the sentence prior?Increase the kearning settings?Some other fancy indesign setting? Thanks!

Depuis un mois, mes fichiers téléchargés depuis le cloud ou la dropbox sont corrompus. Quand je les ouvre dans indesign, il ne reconnait plus les liens, je suis obligée de les réimporter un à un. Il m'indique : "Erreur de lecture du fichier Photoshop. Celui-ci est peut-être endommagé ou incompatible. Enregistrez le fichier avec des paramètres différents, puis réessayez. Tous les liens". Cf pj. Ma collègue n'a aucun soucis avec les mêmes fichiers. Auriez-vosu une idée.? Merci.

Hello,I need some advice. We recently set up InDesign Server CS6 (version 8.0), and the activation was successful during installation. However, we encountered an issue when trying to run instances of InDesign Server CS6, as an error message appears stating: "Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed."We have a perpetual license, which allows activation on two devices. The issue began after our server experienced a disk failure. We restored the server using a backup recovery file, maintaining the same IP and MAC address. However, after recovery, when we attempt to run the instance, it reports that it is not properly licensed.We attempted to re-serialize it using the command line, but it did not resolve the issue. adobe_prtk --tool=Serialize --leid=InDesignServer-CS6-Win-GM --serial=1122-0000-1687-0000-6120-0000 --adobeid=test@test.com.my  (with correct serial key n email) Is there anyone can advise me on how to fix this?Than you.

I'm not completely opposed to generative AI (won't get into my opinion on it personally), but Adobe really needs to stop shoving these half-baked features in our faces. Why on earth, while editing a text document on InDesign, would I need to see a pop-up suggesting "text-to-image" AI features? It's literally blocking what I'm working on and I have to close the dialogue.

Hello friends,Have you encountered the following problem? When I open a file created in Indesign 2024 in Indesign 2025, Indesign 2025 crashes, or offers me to recover the elements of my Indesign 2024 file, but then I lose all my data. Do you have any solution? Thank you very much.John

Our team is reporting problems with trying to perform a data merge with the latest version of InDesign. We have just one record in the .csv file. When we select "Create Merged Document" nothing seems to happen. This happens on both Mac and Windows systems. We've tried trashing preferences, but that is ineffective. Any workarounds? Advice? - Thanks!

There are a lot of scripts available online, but most of these scripts are only applicable to certain line-defined needs.I'm looking for a script that works for everyone and needs to be used regularly. Would you like to share your most appreciated scripts?I would love to hear from you.Thank you very much.
