InDesign

The latest update has caused the InDesign screen to expand below my laptop screen. I adjust it so I can see the bottom of my palettes, and then if I use preview mode, it converts back to the full screen, which is too large. I have to adjust the screen every 10 minutes.

 I'm working on an existing InDesign document in my company with a lot of text and text frames. I've seen this useful character that pushes text to the next text frame created, but I can't seem to figure out what it is or where I can find it. I've been just copying and pasting it as needed. 

Hello everyone. I created a script 2 years ago with INDD 2022 (I think).When I try this script with INDD 2025 and MacOS Sequoia, it no longer works.Basically, it creates QR codes from urls in an XLS file and export each QR codes as a JPG with a specific name.There are more than 400 JPGs to do. I've reduced the script as much as possible to find the error... and I don't understand.JPG export doesn't work (I don't have a JPG file) without any error;PDF export produces an error: Error in Adobe InDesign 2025: Unable to export PDF file (something like this… this is a translation of my french version)Any idea? Thanks a lot tell application "Finder"set myJPGfolder to "Macintosh HD:Users:olivier:Desktop:JPGs:" as aliasend tell tell application "Adobe InDesign 2025"activate tell active documentset myRectangle to make new rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:{5, 5, 25, 25}}set QRCodeURL to "https://www.apple.com"set JPG_Name to "945_0" Create Hyperl

When exporting to PDF using a PDF preset, the PDF no longer launches automatically in Acrobat. I checked settings and the "View PDF after export" is grayed out. I tried making new preset but the option remains unavailable. I've updated software and current OS. I deleted InDesign preferences files and created new. Nothing works. What happened? Anyone know? Running CC V14.01 on a PC Win7. Never had the problem before. Have searched the threads and nothing helps or references any recent issue like this.

Hello! I cannot figure out how to get the object (selected red) above the black rectangle in this image. I have created different layers, and the red one is my top (fourth) layer but it still pulls in, seemingly, behind my black rectangle (second) layer. I drew it with the pen tool and have tried drawing a new object but it still drops in behind the black rectangle when I place it in there.  I am new to InDesign and don't know what else to do to get this layer above the other one. Thanks in advance for any assistance! 

I want to create a data merge document that has multiple price inputs. Ideally, the price could be one data field but I don't know how to program it as one style. Example: $12.59I want the dollar sign ($) to be superscript, size changed and baseline shiftedThe one or two digit dollar amount has it's own character styleThe cents amount will need to be superscript and baseline shiftedIs there a way to take an entire data point <<price>> and have it read my character styles for each element. Some of the prices are in cents and will need a cent mark and no dollar sign. I thought there might be a way through GREP. I've attached a screenshot of how I want the price to look. Can anyone advise?

I have been asked by the publisher to create overlap on all four sides of facing image pages. When I make the PDF the image exceeds the image box and colonises space in the facing page. Is any able to help me stop this?

To reproduce this problem, follow these steps:In a new InDesign document, create a text frame. Make it large enough to be able to contain many lines of text without overflowing. I will call this the main frame.Place your text cursor in the main frame and make sure the paragraph uses automatic line spacing.Write a few letters in the paragraph, this will help visualize the problem.Create a second text frame.Write a couple lines of text in the new frame.Double click on the handle in the middle of the lower border of the new frame. I will call this operation "snap to size"Cut the new frame and paste it into the main frame, as an in-line anchored object.Delete or add some lines to the new/anchored frame.Snap to size the anchored frame and notice that the letters you typed in the main frame don't move: the height of the paragraph did not change.Is that the expected behaviour?In order to make the paragraph height change, I have to perform extra operations such as manually changing the dimensi

I want to find the no of WaxRun from selected text, I have ITextFocus interface which s retrieved from ITextModel interface.

This is me from the future (Not really) and I've only just learnt that I cannot upload my workspace file here. So here's what it is:From bottom-to-top, left-to-right:Closest to pasteboard: Layers & Notes, Links & Track Changes & Pages & Properties, Characters & Glyphs & Effects, History & Stroke, Character Styles & Paragraph Styles & CC LibrariesFurthest from pasteboard: Tool Hints & Preflight, Swatches & Gradient & Color It's also worth noting (for me, at least) that every time I import the workspace, my InDesign 2024 instantly crashes. In this workspace, if you switch from the Preflight to Tool Hints, the Tool Hints tab will not show hints, instead showing the Preflight as well (Or, as it did one time, showed a blank tab). But if you move the Preflight to another group—Let's say its own, just below Tool Hints—then:The Tool Hints tab will display the Preflight.The Preflight will work, but if you double-click it to minimise

When I try to run a Find/Change, nothing happens. No pop-up module. I tried reassigning the keyboard shortcut, but that still does nothing. Anyone have a fix for this? I've tried restarting the application as well as my Mac.

It's early Feb in 2025, I am on v20.1 (current according to Creative cloud) -  I experienced the same error with preflight advising missing links. In my case, I had moved the icons images to a new folder. The issue for me seemed to be in the Preflight relink process. It would not update when clicking on the appropriate file in the new location.  What did work for me was Step 5 that Abhishek has provided.  Open the Links Panel (not preflight) select a broken link Select the relink option on the panel navigate to the appropriate folder and select the appropriate file.In my case, the magic happened, with the new folder recognised, all of my missing links for Icons were found. My preflight is clean and I have successfully exported. In summary  Issue: I believe something weird is happening with relinking from the Preflight panel in version 20.1 that needs looking into. Workaround: In the meantime, the workaround above gets me through - I hope this helps.

Hi, I have this weird box applied to my text frame. I don’t know why it’s there or how to remove it. When I am in preview mode, it disappears. How can i remove it? 

I'm an author and use ID 19. My designer uses ID 20 and I can'l load the files he sends back because they tell me I don't have Adobe's Advanced Vector extension.Surely some mistake.

I have a doc full of text without spaces after colons, e.g. "Next Step:Organize Tools."I want to add a space after the colon.Terms like "Next Step" appear regularly throughout, and are easy to find; additionally, there are URLs in which I don't want to add space after a colon.- - -So, I can search for "Step:\S" which finds the colons, but it also selects the next letter, e.g. "Next Step:Organize Tools."- - -How do we tell GREP to NOT select the next character, and simply add a space after the colon?FWIW I have the GREP in InDesign book, but don't know what this function is called & couldn't find it... Thanks!  

I'm exporting a Google Doc to Word, then importing it.There are bookmarks in the Google Doc, and appear as shown here. (The symbol that looks like a colon.) I'd like to eliminate them.However, I can't do a find/replace for them... I can delete them individually, though.Copying and pasting to Find doesn't show any results. Any idea how to do this? Thanks

HiI have a complicated textframe scenario.I know there is a way to do angular text in Indesign. I have done simple versions. I forgot the method. It was something to do with direct selection tool and skewing. How can I achieve this layout. For some reason it is not working for me.I have marked the required textframe output with red color.Thanks

When relinking missing files, if I select a folder, I have an option to match filenames and it can search and restore all the images automatically. But if I select a CC library, then I have to manually select the cloud asset even though it is there with the same name. Dozens of files to select... Is there no easy solution? Or any script solution? 

Hi:I'm wondering if anyone knows how to write a script (or another way to do it) that will create a button in which the URL is the link to that linked file's path. So, once I export an Interactive PDF, if I click on that button on the page where I'm looking at a linked file (PDF file, for instance), the button will take me to that file using the path of that linked file. There is a Text Variable that already can display the linked file's path, but I can't figure out how to get that Path into the URL of a button. Any ideas? Thanks!Ryan

I installed the Middle Eastern version of Adobe InDesign on my machine, I created a new document in InDesign with A4 page size, landscape page orientation. The document is totally empty execpt for a small grey rectangle shape on the only page.   When I select the option "Export to Adobe Express", I get the below message Although no text whatsoever is found on this newly created document for testing purposes, it is obvious that any document out of InDesign ME cannot be converted to Express project.   Let me know if this finding is true, and whether a solution is possible.

I have recently encountered an issue where InDesign eats the first keystroke after pasting text. The text may be pasted from another application, or just copy-pasted from within the same InDesign document. Please see attached video file which demonstrates the problem.This may be related to the issue reported here: First keystroke sometimes missing in Indesign...to wit:when I select some text and start typing...the first keystroke does nothing. I always have to press a key 2 times before indesign replaces the selected text.This happens almost every time. First thought it was a problem with the keyboard, but it only happens in Indesign, not in other programs.I too was going to blame my keyboard, but I found that turning off "Show Paste Options" (in Preferences » Clipboard Handling... » Show Paste Options; see attached picture) eliminates it. I also wanted to blame Auto Style, and I still find the UI widget gets in my way, but I think the problem is really in the Paste Options.I'm not sur

Hello, We have made a small change to the text of a document for a customer. After we had exported the document as an interactive PDF and sent it to the customer, we received a complaint: Why are flags missing on some pages. This document contains flags on several pages. The flags are all contained in a single .ai file on different artboards, which are then linked in InDesign. Everything looks good in InDesign: The links are all up to date and the preview is displayed correctly: no warnings, no errors during export. After the export to PDF, (not all only) some flags are missing. Re-linking the flag file did not help. Only when we duplicated the flag file unchanged in Explorer and linked this copy of the flag file again did it work again. The only difference to the last revision is an InDesign update to 20.1. On another computer with Indesign 19 all flags are exported. The consequence: I pay a lot of money for professional software and still stand in front of my

Hallo, ich habe ein Problem mit der Darstellung des "CC Libraries" Reiters in Adobe InDesign (19.5.2 und vorherige Versionen) festgestellt. Bei geöffnetem "CC Libraries" Reiter "zappelt" der Reiter und scheint permanent seine Größe zu verändern. Da sich das Problem schwer beschreiben lässt habe ich das Problem in einem Video dokumentiert, das Sie im Anhang finden. Das Problem tritt unter folgenden Bedingungen auf:•Betriebssystem: macOS, augenblicklich Sequoia 15.3, trat aber auch vorher schon auf)•Arbeitsbereich: Typografie, Erweitert, Grundlagen... es passiert immer wenn die "CC Libraries" in einem Reiter links ausklappen.•Wiederholbarkeit: Das Problem tritt immer auf und ist reproduzierbar. Könnten Sie mir mitteilen, ob dieses Problem bekannt ist und ob es eine Lösung oder einen Workaround gibt? Vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung!
