InDesign

Hi everyone,I am experiencing a persistent issue where endnote hyperlinks do not work in the exported PDF, whereas all other standard hyperlinks in the document work perfectly. Inside InDesign, the endnote links appear normal and intact.Here are the details of my environment and what I have already tried: Versions Tested: I have tested this on both InDesign 2025 and InDesign 2026 versions, but the issue persists in both. Export Settings: Tried exporting as both Adobe PDF (Interactive) and Adobe PDF (Print) (making sure the "Hyperlinks" checkbox is checked in the General settings). Still, endnotes remain unclickable in the PDF. Troubleshooting Done: Updated and synced all links. Exported the document as an IDML file to clear any potential corruption, re-opened it, and re-exported to PDF. Copied the text/content into a brand-new InDesign document and tried exporting again. None of these steps resolved the issue. Since it occurs across both 2025 and 2026 versions, I susp

Need help to download an InDesign 2018 installer. I can't find it anywhere on the website. I have upgraded my old laptop (Dell Inspiron 14 N4050) to windows 10 and I can't find my CC installer anymore. Please please please

The Media window/panel out of the interactive group in InDesign disappears after each restart of InDesign from the workspace since the upgrade to version 21 (yes, since 21.0 but I’m now using it more often so it got annoying).  When I add the Media panel to any sidebar (as open or collapsed… any position or group, it doesn’t make a difference) it’s always gone again after an InDesign restart, even if I specifically save it to a workspace. I’m on Windows 11 if that matters. Has anyone else this issue or is it just me? Any solutions for it to stay included? Another related question - Now by default, if I add a video to a frame, the poster frame is empty by default and I have to change it to “From current frame” every single time. In the old version (20.x) I could change the default so it would always take the current frame as poster frame. I haven’t figured out how to do that with 21.x. Is it possible and how? Thanks for your help. 

I’m experiencing a very frustrating situation where i try to open an old 2004 .indd file in InDesign2026…Any idea opening this file would be welcome. Not convinced at all it is corrupt… just a generic message.opening the file through context menu “open with” Message from InDesign stating “InDesign has detected the file was corrupted. Would you like us to repair it? It will be temporarily processed on our servers. YES/NO” Pressing YES New message stating “Impossible to repair. You are not connected to CreativeCloud. Connect with your ID, restart and try again” Done, but I was already connected. Retried anyway, still the same messages and failure. Upon quitting Indesign a little bit dispaired, i get an exception message. Alas, resigning !!!  

Over the last week or so everytime I launch InDesign I am met with the attached dialog box. "You cannot reverse this change with the Edit > Undo command" It is persistent and getting worse. It will now launch randomly whilst I'm working. It is making InDesign almost unusable and destroying my worklfow and concentration. How on earth can I stop this occuring? I've tried Resetting Warning Dialogs to no avail. I've seen this posted elsewhere without any solution. Can someone at Adobe please respond – its driving me nuts.

The new context break feature in 21.4 has a bug. Being able to map a paragraph style to an <hr /> tag is terrific. It is a massive improvement for EPUB developers. That said, there is a bug. When an assembled image (like a series of grouped items, or similar) are set to rasterize as a context-break image, and the paragraph tag that it sits in is set to export as an <hr />, the image goes missing. As this is a very common in trade publishing, it would be useful to address this issue. 

Today Adobe InDesign (current version) won't find two of my installed fonts: Montserrat Bold and Montserrat Regular. These fonts are actively installed on my Windows 10 PC, and I even tried syncing them from Adobe Fonts, but nothing worked. It shows that the fonts are active in Adobe Creative Cloud and InDesign, yet it still appears missing and substitutes it with Minion Pro. Here are the steps I've tried:Restarting InDesignStarting a new document (the font is still missing in new documents as well)Reinstalling the font from Google Fonts (and installed it for all users)Syncing the font from Adobe Fonts (it says the font is active, but it is still missing)Signing out of Adobe on my PCRestarting my PCClearing my InDesign preferences and cache I've confirmed that the font appears and works in:Adobe IllustratorAdobe PhotoshopMicrosoft Word Any help would be appreciated. I've never encountered this error before in all my years of using InDesign. System:Windows 10 ProVers

I’ve cleared preferences through library, and when starting indesign.It has several bugs randomly appearing. eg. Suddenly can’t undo, takes ages to quit, there’s a slight delay importing images...

  Hello, after InDesign's latest update, I can't use shortcuts like alignment and object docking without selecting and grouping objects. What is causing this and how can I fix it? It's very difficult to work without shortcuts. I checked the preferences section and everything seems normal.

I have a paragraph style with an OTF Stylistic Set enabled.When creating a character style, there is no option to disable this Stylistic Set — or to specify that no Stylistic Set should be used at all.The font I’m using already uses all 20 Stylistic Sets, so selecting a different, unused set is not an option.Can anyone help, please?

Last month, I finalized an InDesign file that features a lot of precisely-sized text fields and tables. It was all perfect, good-to-go for this month’s deadline. I went into the file a few days ago to make a minor edit, and suddenly the Open Sans font was behaving very strangely - InDesign made it look like the Bold instance was missing altogether, and any time I added or deleted text anywhere in a field or table that used Open Sans, the field or table reacted as if I were inserting a font of a larger size, and the carefully designed field and table bounds were exceeded, creating hundreds of overflow errors across the document.I have tried: Re-installing Open Sans on my computer (and restarting), both trying the variable variety and the static variety of the four instances (regular, bold, italic, bold italic) the document uses. I restarted between each attempt. Following the advice of our office's most experienced InDesign user, I installed the Open Sans family through Adobe Creative

I saved my Indesign Book doc to a new folder on my computer. Adobe moved it to the cloud instead which I never to. I always choose to my computer. How do I get it back? The instructions I have found are as follows: Locating Your InDesign File in the CloudTo retrieve your InDesign file that may have been saved to the cloud, follow these steps:    1    Log into Adobe Account: Go to the Adobe Creative Cloud website or open the Creative Cloud app.    2    Check Cloud Storage: Look for your saved files in the cloud storage section. Your InDesign document should be listed there if it was saved as a Cloud Document.I logged in but cannot find the ACC website nor open the CC app and I don’t want it. I do not want to purchase anything else. I also find the web sites very sparse of direction or information. How do I get my doc back, since I created a new folder for it and it is not here? Thanks

Every so often, since working on my current iMac (2017), my Application Frame in InDesign gets stuck on my second 32" Benq monitor. The top bar area sits just behind the menu bar. Once it's there, it's there. The accessibility to reposition the frame is now not possible. Even switching the Application Bar, the background frame is still stuck and cannot be moved.Surely, there must be a limit from stopping the Application Frame from running off behind the menu and off the top of the screen, or at least allow an interactive method in a dropdown menu to reset the Application Frame back within the frame of the monitor.For the moment, the only way I have found to resolve this would be to 'Delete InDesign Preference file' (Shift+Control+Option+Command) on start-up and reapply my personal settings and workspaces.After resetting, this crucial part of the frame is now visible.I'm running MacOS Mojave Version 10.14.3, on an iMac 27-inch 4.2Ghz Intel Core i7 running a second 32" Benq screen.

I have downloaded Creative Cloud. Want to make a new Indeign file. Made 1 single page and want to save it...pop up : this file is dammaged..it’s a new file and nothing in it yet

I want to set some default regular expressions in a paragraph style, for example:Regular expression: (\d+)Quote style: myDataParagraph style: myStyle=app.documents[0]..itemByName(“AA”),myStyle.properties{}Thanks.

In the recent InDesign versions Adobe has introduced HarfBuzz as the default text shaping engine but the Justification alternates feature is now not working in OpenType fonts at all, we have confirmed it by testing Arabic fonts. For Adobe text rendering engine this feature still works seamlessly but for Harfbuzz this fails silently. Is there some compatibility issue of Harfbuzz with Adobe paragraph model or we are missing something as we have tested several fonts with same result?It has disturbed all our past documents as the users use this feature in the whole documents to beautifully justify the paragraphs using justification alternates.

Hello,I need help debugging a crash involving dialogues. I’ve built a plugin for CC 2026 using the C++ plugin SDK, which works fine. As a next step, I wanted to implement a dialogue box. Integrating the BasicDialog example worked well, but that wasn’t enough for me as I need tabs. So I tried to incorporate the BasicSelectableDialog example. Unfortunately, InDesign crashes on launch. The last call I can see in the crash log isCDialogObserver::AutoAttach() I’ve also tried copying all the pre-processor macros from the example project file, but that didn’t work either. Could someone please help me debug this?I’ve attached the crash report. Best regards 

This is an odd one, I double click on an indesign file, indesign and the file opens up but indesign goes to the background on my Mac, and the finder to the foreground then the Mac doc appears and stays there, I have to then click on the indesign layout to bring it to the front, the doc still stays until I click on something else on the doc then it disappears. This started when an agency sent me a brochure to work on and now it is happening with every file I open. I have searched and not found anyone with the same problem. So far I have deleted the Indesign preferences and that didn't fix it, then updated to the latest indesign and that didn't work either. Both illustrator and photoshop are working great. I would be grateful for any advice. Thank you. My set up is: Mac Studio 2023, 64GB ram, Sequoia 15.7.1, Indesign 2026.[Moved to InDesign by a moderator]

I’m preparing a museum grade gallery exhibition of several 16” x 22” framed images. The images have a 1-1/2” margin all around. My workflow is negative scans to Photoshop to InDesign then export to Acrobat PDF. I’ll be conferring with my printer who uses large commercial Canon printers (Pro 4000 and 6000) about the final settings, so I’m preparing for that interaction. I published a picture book last year with the settings used here and it came out perfect. But fine art photography is a different animal apparently.Paper: photo rag baryta paper 308 GSMGlazing: Tru Vue Museum Glass (non-reflective, UV protection)My photoshop files are saved as Embed Color Profile: Adobe RGB (1998).InDesign export format: Adobe PDF (Print).Current Preset, Compression, and Output settings: see images attached.Let me know if any further info is needed.. 

i had a window open, which apparently is a rectangle but is empty- cannot resize it, cannot click enter, cannot close aplication. and will not allow me to click anyhting else. i am on the latest version. any ideas?  

There are allOjcetStyles, but there is no 'allObject StyleGroups'.Is there any way to correct the following code so that it can recognize all situations of groups, including nested groups within groups.var creGroup = newGroup("myGroup", "objectStyleGroups");function newGroup(grn, sgc) { var d = app.activeDocument; for (var i = 0; i < d[sgc].length; i++) { if (d[sgc][i].name == grn) { return true break } } return d[sgc].add({ name: grn });} 

Hi there.I'm completely new to indesign.How do I make a folded greeting card?

Hi, I have a multilingual document created in InDesign that I need to export as an accessible PDF. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to successfully export language tags from InDesign? The content in Spanish is assigned unique paragraph styles, and I have defined those styles as Spanish under "Language" in character formats. However when I export the PDF from InDesign, Acrobat reads all of those as "English".  Am I missing anything or do I have to manually update the language categorization in Acrobat? Trying to avoid that since it's a lengthy document but guessing that's my only option. If so, I guess it's not necessary to create separate paragraph styles for content in Spanish?  Any other tips for exporting accessible multilingual PDF from ID would be great.  Tagging our accessibility champion @Bevi Chagnon - PubCom.com in case you might have an answer 🙂 Thanks so much
