InDesign

 I cannot click anything. I have tried rebooting and opening an INDD file directly. Adobe, why.

Hi,I have a numbered list with indented step details in two places. After the indented step details, I want the numbers to continue. In my case, the continued number starts at the number 2.  Can you tell me why this is happening?  See the example attached. Thank you, Julianna  

Greetings!  In the Layers panel of Photoshop you can see what sort of adjustments, filters, etc. have been applied to each layer.  The descriptions are indented below each layer.  Is there something similar in InDesign? Thanx,Jay

Hey!In my book layout (print), I have a couple of QR codes. I was wondering what the best format is to import them into ID. Also, are there any things I should look out for to ensure they print successfully and work correctly? Thank you!

Not long after compiling 47 chapters into one file, I noticed the following unwanted behavior after going back and inserting an additional page spread in the middle:1. A few items newly placed on the pasteboard in subsequent chapters  are now one spread off in sequence. 2. Running chapter footers (intended to appear after the initial spread of each ch., so I simply cover them with a white box on the first spread of each ch.) are also now visible, perhaps due to this sort of recollating. 3. On the page spread just before the newly inserted one, a pic with a bounding box set to 1 cm text wrap now pushes or covers the footer when moved close to it . Items with text wrap do not do this to running footers anywhere else in the doc.It may already be clear what's happening but this also might be related: on the pages panel, there's a new blue line or box showing up on the spread preceding the newly added spread:Thank you

After inserting row , those having differnt than exsisting format.if i fill colour the strokes are getting changed. 

Is there a way to double-check if all text frames are in the same position without having to go through 200 pages? My first thought was to use the Preflight tool, but I can't seem to find an option for that. Am I missing something, or is there another way?Thank you!

I'm unable to launch InDesign 2025 on new iMac running on Sequoia 15.1. I have to Force Quit it and Photoshop 2025. Illustrator, Bridge and Acrobat. It was running very slow on previous iMac but it did run.

hi! so i’m currently editing a book in design with incopy assignments within it. i want to create a copy of the file to then share with my client via drop box. the issue i’m facing is that i would preferably want one copy on drop box and another locally on my laptop, and to do so seems to be problematic because of the icml links. i have exported all the content in the indesign doc as icml files so i can easily add them to assignments when needed, but now to create a copy, that copy is still linked to those original icml files. im wondering if it’s possible to “re-export” the content in the copy as icml files, or duplicate those icml files so they are almost like a separate set only used for the copy? if more context is needed let me know! 

Not so much jumping into the deep end but going swimming with cement flippers with UXP, I try to create an alert in InDesign .injs:  alert("hello!");  I get an alert of sorts...But not quite as friendly as I'd hoped.  I can get around it by writing a bespoke alert function as mentioned in this recipe here. However... it says here that Since UXP v7.4, `alert()` can only be invoked in `plugin` via the featureFlags `enableAlerts`. Update your Manifest v5 with the following: so I've updated  the manifest: { "id": "myUniqueId", "name": "Hello Worldplugin", "version": "0.0.1", "description": "Description goes here", "summary": "Summary goes here", "host": { "app": "XD", "minVersion": "13.0" }, "uiEntryPoints": [ { "type": "menu", "label": "Create Rectangle", "commandId": "createRectangle" } ], "featureFlags": { "enableAlerts": true } } based on the Developer Starter pr

I am setting up a book in Indesign using paragraph styles. My 'body text' paragraph style is set to Minion Variable Concept, Font Style Regular, Font size 12. However, whenever I apply 'body text' to a paragraph, it changes the style from 'Regular' to 'Semibold' or doesn't change anything. Below you can see the text selected shows up as 'body text' for the normal paragraph and the semi-bold paragraph. However, the 'clear formatting' option doesn't seem to be available. Highlighting manual overrides suggests that semibold is the set paragraph style, but the 'body text' style clearly shows it to be Regular text (not Semibold). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, im trying to get a text frame placed through a script inDesign (multiple text frames)However when it places, it cant find the font family, and it wont change pt size, and is always overset... I have used chatgpt to help me but im hitting a wall now and pulling my hair out...Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? (apart from using chatgpt...)I have run a script to identify the font, but no matter what combination of words, tabs, spaces it just cant locate it.Thanks in advanced! // Extract parts of the document name var docName = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, ""); // Remove file extension var parts = docName.split("_"); // Ensure we have enough parts var firstPart = parts[0] || ""; var secondPart = parts[1] || ""; // Function to add text frames in InDesign function addTextFrame(contents, xPos, yPos) { var page = app.activeDocument.pages[0]; // Use the first page var textFrame = page.textFrames.add(); textFrame.contents = contents; //

Windows 11, last version of Indesign.I have set the image description style as follows: before text insert Abb. ^# - , continue from the number before. See picture. The prompt is recognized, but the numbering does not work (see picture), with 2024 it did :-((((Any idea? 

I applied for the InDesign debug version a year ago, but even after a year, it is still in this state, and the button has always been in this state, and I cannot reapply. What could be the reason?

I am hoping this can get done through a paragraph style.I want to set up a style so that the first paragraph is not indented, but every paragraph that follows it will have the first line indented.Is this even possible to set up in a paragraph style?If so can someone point me in the right direction.

Hello everyone!I used the Ken Lunde Tutorial to change my InDesign with japanese functionality. I speak Spanish, but I had to change all my iOS UI in english (and my InDesign) in order to avoid any trouble with compatibility. I got to say it works perfect this way.With this tweak, I found a whole new world to discover and understand. In CJK everything works so differently than in Western style that sometimes it bring me new challenges. Because of this, I'm experiencing problems when I need to create paragraphs in Latin text and here is the thing:When I compose a paragraph, the auto-leading in japanese is way different than the auto-leading in western paragraphs.For example:In Japanese Text: Myriad Pro Regular 12 pt. has 21 pt. of leading (way bigger!)In Latin Text: Myriad Pro Regular 12 pt. has 14,4 pt. of leading. I wish I found something to change the default setting, but I can't. I just can change this manually, but every time I change the font size I got to change the leading

InDesign suddenly stopped printing in RGB; instead the entire document is printing in a strange greenish grey ; now it is grey scale. I have selected RGB output. This started soon after I tried multiple times to print a double sided document; the color was fine but the position was not. Then it turned into monochrome. I saved it as a PDF and printed from Acrobat; it prints grey. Photoshop prints correctly.

Hello, recently I bought brand new Asus ProArt laptop and when I tried to use Indesign app it was unusable. the scrolling speed with trackpad is EXTREAMELY FAST both horizontally and vertically. in the same amount of movementwith trackpad on other Adobe apps i move so slightly, while on indesign i skip FULL PAGES.Even when I tried to use external mouse it was too sensitive compared to sensitivity on Illustrator, both on 100% view ; not in the same insane speed while using the trackpad, but still brutally fastIn the Now, before you suggest me for a solution let me tell you what I already did:- I tried closing the app and reopen it- I tried restarting my computer- I checked for updates for my Indesign app; I have the last version- I checked for updates for my Windows version and mouse drivers- I tried reinstalling Indesign- I tried to downgrade all the available versions of Indesign on creative cloud app In the attached video I demonstrate the problem, and compare the scro

I understand how to turn off hyphenation in my InDesign document and I have it turned off everywhere that I know of, and hyphenation is no longer anywhere in used or placed in my document.However, when I place (Ctrl+D) a word document into my InDesign file it places it in there with hyphenation on. This is very annoying.Is there a way to make it so that when placing a word document into InDesign it will go into it with hyphenation turned off?As of right now it is always placed with hyphenation on and I have to manually highlight at the text once I import it and turn off hyphenation.

I'm creating a TOC for a 100+ page booklet. Everything looks great when I populated the TOC with the styles I have applied, however there is a random 2 between each entry, and after a while that changes from 2 to 3 between each entry. Help?   

PSD links in IND file are coming in blurry. The links are clean, and display performance is high. Some PSD files have no issue and others are blurry. What else could be causing this?  

Hi! My team and I are facing an issue with the quality of images when exporting a document from InDesign or Illustrator. Despite the images being high resolution when added to the working file, their quality decreases when converting the file to a PDF. We have tried exporting the file in high resolution, but nothing seems to fix the problem. Before: After: Before:   After:  

Imac Retina, 2017OS: Ventura 13.7.1Indesign 20.1 (2025) Recently, Indesign has been crashing every few minutes, usually after one of several normal actions, such as coping an object (shortcut = Option+Shift), dragging a page to the Create New Page icon, or simply moving a page. It seems extremeley volitile, so I'm having to save after every action. I realise I'm not on the latest OS as the 2017 Imac doesnt support it, but I'd hope that the latest Indesign would still be supported by Ventura, in case that was the issue. Would be grateful for any ideas. 

Hi,I'm experiencing lately that Indesign is very slow even though I'm working on a very simple design. Backdrop 4m x 2,5 mts with a couple a png's and some vector illustations. Also with importing AI vecor files (complex but only 700 kb) Indesign is slow.I work on a iMac 2021 M1 16 Gb computer. So that can't be the problem. Who is having the same problem?Is this something between Adobe and MacOS Monterey?

After updating InDesign 2025 on February 3rd I have notived that when I try to duplicate an element by using the option click command the app just crashes and closes.What can I do to fix it?Thank you.
