macOS 15.2, InDesign 20.0.1   Problem: Metadata inside an image not being recognized by InDesign 2025.   Details: Multiple images from different sources containing metadata that InDesign doesn't recognize Presence of metadata in XMP Description field verified in Bridge and via InDesign's Links panel XMP File Info command. Generating a Live Caption or Static Caption when using the Description field returns "<No data from link>". Setting Object Export Options > Alt Text Source to From XMP: Description results in "metadata property is not present on some selected content". When a PDF is generated using the images in question, the metadata is not passed through to the PDF, resulting in missing alt text accessibility errors. Manually writing (or copying and pasting) the metadata to the Alt Text Source as Custom works, but as does manually creating a caption, but automation is the point.  

Hello community,I'm a relatively new user. I'm formatting a novel. InD is doing something I don't like and I haven't been able to fix it yet. I have looked at all available settings and I feel it is one of those things that isn't a setting. I have "placed" the text from a MS Word file. I have cleaned up the word file. I have so far as to clear all formatting in the Word file. I am quite frustrated as I could never in a million years release a book that had this error in it. Please help me. I am lost.

Hello. I was running the most up-to-date version of InDesign on my Mac (using MacOS Sequoia 15.2—the latest) when I suddenly was not able to highlight any text. I also couldn't even make a new text box. Is anyone else having this issue? I did call support who guided me through trashing my system preferences for InDesign and then had me install an earlier version, but that also didn't work. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I need assistance : I created a qr code that lead to the website for my wedding (host on portfolio)  in august but the qr code doesn't work anymore and it's very problematic because it is on my "wedding invitation" that are printed et already sent... is there a way to reactivate the qr code ? What can i do to fix the problem ? Thanks you for your answers !

I know a lot of other people are experiencing the same problem but I'm hoping if there are enough comments about it, Adobe might consider addressing the issue. Indesign 2025 is so slow it is unusable. I tried a number of the workarounds that I've seen online and none of them are working. I tried going back to 2024 and the projects that I started in 2025 are apparently not compatible with 2024 and the 2024 version is now just as slow, if not slower and it crashes constantly. I'm working with Indesign version 20.0.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.2. Please advise a workaround other than going back to 2024, removing the document fonts folder, disabling the contextual task bar, closing the magnet application, and uninstalling and reinstalling the application as none of these have worked for me.

Hi all,I have a problem that's been driving me crazy for years and just hit again today. My InDesign publication contains hundreds of Illustrator-generated PDF images that are resized as needed in InDesign and then descriptive text added on top. Day to day it's a good solution, but occasionally I'll find that I might need to do something to the Illustrator-generated PDF graphic. It might be as simple as adding a thicker stroke or moving a couple of handles to improve the look of a curve, etc. All very, very minor tweaks at this poing. The problem occurs when I update the image within InDesign. If I change something in the middle of a drawing it's usually not a problem, but if I tweak a line or add a stroke (or remove a stroke) at the perhiphery of the drawing then when I update in InDesign the drawing will move, or worse, the scale will change ever-so-slightly. If it was a simple illustration that wouldn't be a problem, but with sometimes over 100 small text boxes on a page it bec

I'm using the latest version of InDesign 2025 (20.0.1 x64) For the second time this week, on two different files, I've had my CMYK profiles disappear. I'll go to export my project as a PDF, and get a warning saying:"The present specifies a profile that is not available."Looking at the Output>Destination dropdown, there is only the CMYK Working profile. All of my CMYK profiles are gone. The profiles are gone globally, so if I open another project, they are also missing. The only way I've found to bring the profiles back is to open Illustrator and try Saving As a PDF (using any Illustrator project). That seems to bring back to the profiles. Then I can reopen InDesign and export as normal.Anyone else seeing this issue? 

Helló! Az online közzététel több órája nem működik. Nem tudom feltölteni az indesignból, hogy közzétegyem az olnine-t. #14 és #16 hibakód. Kérlek segítsetek, fontos! Ez a vállalkozásom alapja, és nem tudok anyagot készíteni! Köszönöm

Please refer to attached image.InDesign finds the next instance of 'Stages' but clicking the 'Change' button does not effect the change.I quit InDesign and restarted but to no effect. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Buen día, tengo un problema al pasar un documento de Word que contiene formulas elaboradas con la aplicación de word, (las formulas no fueron elaboradas con Mathtyp) al pasar a indesing pasa en blanco el espacio donde va la fórmula, cuando están hechas en Mathtyp pasan bien pero las que se hacen en directo de Word no, hay alguna forma de pasarlas sin que se pierdan? Feliz día 

A l'attention du forum de discussion Indesign, J'ai rencontré un problème similaire à un.e autre utilisateur.ice avec la police BBB Baskervvol et, bien qu'en ayant appliqué les conseils addressés, le bug persiste.Après la composition d'un mot possédant une ligature spécifique, le curseur est décalé d'un incrément en avant par rapport à la composition ; et en enchaînant plusieurs mots un symbôle de croix apparaît en bout de phrase, qui reste visible en mode aperçu. Connaissez-vous l'origine de ce problème et seriez-vous en mesure de trouver une solution ?Merci de votre aide,Bonne soirée.

Hello. I have a problem with InDesign. By importing a Word text (docx) and then applying a style, some problems arise: part of the text does not acquire the right font and the text is not adequately formatted (for example, the hyphenation indications are not applied). How is this possible? What should I do? Thank you!

Guten Tag und Happy 2025Ich habe einen Fotoatlas mit InDesing erstellt. Dieser wurde dann als PDF exportiert und durch andere als bearbeitet (Änderung Layout, Ergänzungen). Das nun bereitgestellte PDF wollte ich als Vorlage für einen zweiten Fotoatlas verwenden. Leider kann ich dieses PDF jedoch nicht mehr in InDesign öffnen. Es bräuchte da ein zusätzliche Modul. Ich finde jedoch kein solches Modul. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, dass ich dieses PDF als Vorlage wieder mit InDesign nutzen kann? Besten Dank im Voraus!

Hello all,I recently updated to Indesign CC 2019. I immediately noticed that the pointer (selection tool) is now a hand icon. I've searched and searched forums to no avail. So, is this a new feature? If so, can it be changed? Or is this a bug? I don't like it at all.I am running Mojave on a MBP Retina.Thanks.

Hi, I want my RGB images in InDesign to convert to CMYK using the Photoshop's 'Convert to Profile' method. I found this script on the net:http://kasyan.ho.ua/indesign/swatch_color/convert_rgb_grayscale_images_to_cmyk.html However, this script is using the Change Mode method, whereas I want the 'Convert to Profile' method to convert my images to CMYK along with an option to select the desired Colour Profile from the Dropdown list. Like we do in Photoshop > Convert to Profile > select destination profile. Any suggestions.

Hey guys, ich habe nun das Problem, dass wenn ich etwas anklicke in Indesign, also ein Objekt, dass es eine kleine Sekunde dauert, bis es angewählt ist und dann auch direkt ein kleines Bisschen verschoben wird. Also als wenn ich es mit der Maus anklicken und verschieben würde, aber ich klicke es nur an. Woran kann das liegen?

Hi, InDesign works fine. But when I want to save a file to the intern Mac HD the cursors loading animation appears for 15 seconds or so while InDesign freezes. After it unfreezes it didn't saved anything. Same occurs for exporting to and opening files from HD. I can save in the cloud and open files from the cloud though.InDesign and Mac OS have the latest versions.I really need help! At least a quick workaround because I have to finish comercial projects and put my files to the agencys server at the end.

Hi, In my book layout, I have a couple of places where there are runts. The main reason for the runts in the first place is to fix the overall balance of justification. I was under the impression that having runts wasn’t best practice; however, I realized that many famous books also have them.
