There appears to be several methods available in order to create QR Codes within the Scripting API. What we need is a way to find each QR Code and examine/edit the URL. There apprears to be nothing listed for this within the API documentation. Is there any way to step through the Graphics in each doucment, determine whether or not they are QR Codes, and if they are, to then check/edit the URL?

See https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/selection-tool-not-working-on-external-monitors/m-p/15124621 _________________   I just got new monitors - every time I use Indesign now this is how my selection tool looks, and I can't move objects. I've already reset my preferences, restarted my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled my indesign. It works fine on my laptop screen. It sometimes creates a "snippet" on my desktop when I try to move an object. I can still move things with my arrow keys. This is what it looks like.

The tool Align does not work on my Indesign 18.1I have tried several document, - but the Align tool does not work at all?Can anybody help me?

Wie entferne ich diesen Index bzw. diese Überschriften inkl. Balken?

Hi, vielleicht kennt jemand das Problem. Wenn ich an meinem Mac in Indesign arbeite und nur den zweiten externen Monitor anschließe, wird auf dem Monitor Indesign grau (wie eingefroren ohne Anzeige der Seiten) angezeigt und man kann nichts machen. Bei den anderen Adobe Programmen wie PS oder AI ist das nicht so, da kann man einfach weiter arbeiten. Erst wenn ich Indesign beende und neu starte, funktioniert es. Was kann ist tun? Danke, Nina

Hi, my data merge is not working.I create a csv file in excel. I upload it to indesign 20.1 but the images won't load. If I process the same file in version 19.0 everything goes without a problem.The CSV file is not specially formatted. I also tried tab delimited text (from excel) but that doesn't work either.

Want to send to adobe staff to check out... I have opened this file before (with much larger links) and worked on it no problem. in the past few hours it has become unresponsive and slow to open or use to the point i can't open the file without having to force quit indesing every time! it only seems to be the case with this specific file. ive tried reinstalling and resetting indesing.

Buenas, me preguntaba si en indesign se pueden hacer tablas con el trazo inferior (o inferior y superior) solamente, sin trazos a la derecha/izquierda, de esta manera:

Hi, I'm really new to the xml import part for indesign, but i'm going to need it extensively. How do I format the xml to be able to import images from a local path or a url path from my server? I can do everything with text but it doesn't work for image files. I tried the <image href="localimagepath"></image> but this doesn't work, it says there is an error in my code when importing.This is on osx and the path is from my terminal.

I have been attempting to add a 360° image or panorama to an InDesign file and export it as an interactive PDF. While it works with media content, I am looking for solutions to effectively incorporate 360° images into presentations.Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi I need to create a fixed layout EPUB from a previously written book I have in a PDF format. The book is picture heavy so I only found fixed layout EPUB to work. The ebook distributor in question (Draft2Digital) only allows EPUB, which is why I'm going through all this (although I know how crazy it is to transform a PDF into an EPub, so please kindly don't judge me, as I'm doing it because I'm being forced to.). Although I was able to get a fixed layout EPUB format already, my EPUB file does not have an EPUB table of contents. So if I open it on Kindle Previewer or any other epub preview, the TOC has all "untitled" spreads under it. Question: Since this is a PDF import and I do not have text paragraphs or headings in the inDesign document, how can I create a table of contents for it? I created sections with marker sections for each of the chapters, so I was hoping to generate a TOC from that. However I was not able to figure this out, if that is even an option. Th

I am attempting to compose a document (non-facing pages) containing poetry in different languages with line numbers (every x lines). In my latest attempt, I have 4 columns representing the text and line numbers in each of the two languages. My first attempt, using a multi-column text frame (primary and non-primary) failed because, for the life of me, I could find a way of getting the text to flow 'column first' (i.e. fill the first column until all text was entered on multiple pages before advancing to the  next column). My latest attempt seemed more promising but still failed. I can fill the first column with text across multiple pages, but if I attempt to enter text (line numbers every 10 lines) in the second column, when I reach the end of the first page, InDesign inserts a new page between the first and previously second page with no text in the first column of the new second page.I am now completely stumped, and I have not got to the third and fourth columns yet.&nb

Hi,Is there a way to use the Mac's built-in text replacements in InDesign?I have several shortcuts that I would like to use. For example, I set one up to write "InDesign" when I type "ind "or "illu" for "Illustrator." I also have one for my website, phone number, or mail address. It is really handy.Is there a way to use that in InDesign?

Hallo, ich habe ein unangenehmes Problem: Wenn ich mit dem Zeigewerkzeug in einen Textrahmen klicke, um Text zu editieren (das praktiziere ich so seit Jahren), dann verschiebt sich der Textrahmen seit heute um einen halben Milimeter nach links. Hat das jemand von euch auch schon einmal gehabt?Grüße iPunkt

Hello, I need to finish somework and I can not because InDesign seems to crash every 5 to 10 minutes.I'm on a Mac Studio, I have the 2025 version. What can I do now??

That's the whole question 🙂I'm looking into trying a few things with a single-cell table, but it's missing most of the controls needed.Thx.

Hi,I would like to crop an image based on its shape. In InDesign everything is cropped, but when I save the file as a PDF and print it, it prints the image in its original shape. What am I doing wrong?

I've moved text around in a long document (~200pp) and messed up the threading...i've tried everything I can think of to fix and read through posts here.including-running scripts to break and then rethread, which produce a number of error messages-creating a new document but the text seems to paste in with its old order in its mind - which is really frustrating: whatever I do the old "ghost" text order flows in-manually trying to remake in text editorall so far to no availplease help anyone. many thanks

Hi, I recently updated both OSX and Indesign and now I can no longer see recent folders when relinking or placing files.Is this because of a change in Indesign or in the OS? I hope somebody gets what I mean:I used to see recent folders suggested when relinking files, which was great for the workflow as you often save files somewhere with a different software and then open InDesign to place or relink these files.

I'm running Indesign 20.1 on a Mac mini running OS 15.1 (24B83).  When I create a new document I do not have a Master page. All is see is a A-Parent page and another titled "[None]".  I have tried deleting prefs, tried going back a view versions and no luck. I also can't move spreads around at all.  I have tried an Adobe chat session and let the tech take over my computer and he still couldn't figure it out. Anybody have the same issue?Thanks!
