InDesign

Good evening, I am trying to solve an issue with an InDesign file that closed by itself and now won't open anymore. The message that appears when reopening the program is about file recovery, and regardless of the response, it opens the file but closes quickly after. I have already tried saving 3 copies using 'Save As,' but the same problem occurs.Additionally, I have cleared the InDesign cache and I don't have any plugins installed. I checked for fonts issues but didn't find any. I have already reported the problem and received the following report:{"app_name":"Adobe InDesign 2025","timestamp":"2025-01-09 17:58:59.00 -0300","app_version":"20.0.1.32","slice_uuid":"fb409b9d-73ed-3f7f-8f41-0d4322185132","build_version":"20010","platform":1,"bundleID":"com.adobe.InDesign","share_with_app_devs":0,"is_first_party":0,"bug_type":"309","os_version":"macOS 15.1.1 (24B91)","roots_installed":0,"name":"Adobe InDesign 2025","incident_id":"48356CCF-0E51-4C5C-982B-1D951FFD09CC"} Could someone as

Hi, I am working with object states in endsign for a fixed epub, where each object state has a text wrap. I am trying to figure out if there  is a way for one state that has a text wrap, ignore a text wrap from a different state? In otherwords, state 1 has a text wrap with object b and state 2 has a text wrap with object a and currently both states see each others wrap. Unfortunately, if I turn on "ignore wrap" for either of the state's text frames, it nullify's its own wrap. Is there a workaround?

I've created a book in InDesign that shows best in a 2 page view when converted to a PDF. The problem I'm having is how to get the file to default to a "2 page view" rather than a "single page view" when opened in Adobe Acrobat. I've googled this a handful of times and can't find a solution. Perhaps I'm overlooking it, but I just haven't found an answer. Thanks

I'm importing some images from Illustrator into an InDesign document, and no matter what I do, they end up being pixelated. I've looked online for some solutions, and here's a list of things I've tried that have helped but not solved the problem: Scaled up the vectors in Illustrator so that all of the images are at least twice the size I need them to be in InDesign (I need them to be about 1in by 1.5in in the file, and they're all at least 2in by 3in) Changed the Illustrator export to be 300ppi Changed the Display Setting in InDesign to be "High Quality Display" Changed the Compression settings in InDesign to be "Lossless" instead of "Lossy" Changed the export in InDesign to be 300ppi Can anyone advise on what may be going wrong here? What can I do to fix this issue? 

Tengo una carpeta con 300 tablas de excel, todas con su formato y estilo. Me gustaría saber si hay algún script o forma de pasar de manera automática cada una de las tablas a un documento de indesign (tal como están en los excel, es decir, respestando el mismo formato/estilo). Y  si además, al comienzo del documento, se pudiera generar un índice con los títulos de cada tabla vinculado a su página correspondiente, ya sería increíble. Gracias.

I updated an InDesign book file and the document files within the book. When opening a document from the book the starting page number of the document was changing to 1, SORT OF. I noticed the problem right away because the file immediately went to unsaved. "Automatically Update Page & Section Numbers" on the Book Page Numbering Options dialog was NOT checked. Opening the file separate from the book the page numbers didn't change. The funkiest part was that visually the page numbers updated on the page, but not in the page pallet and InDesign still "thought" all the numbers were what they should have been. So even though the first page showed "1" if you tried to go to page 1 (Ctrl+J in Windows) it would error saying there is no page 1 in the file. Re-creating the book fixed the problem. Has anyone else had similar trouble in 2025? [EDIT]After more fiddling it seems that this only occurs if the first page / section in the file is set to "Automatic

How can I set up a similar sizing for the number in InDesign? Thank you! 

This horrible greedy decision by Adobe & Pantone is turning out to be even worse than imagined. I'm being robbed, i mean i'm paying another monthly subscription fee, but this product does not work.  Every time we search for a color, click on the 3 dots to Add To Swatch, the color never shows up in my local Swatch Pallete.  Please advise on how colors are supposed to be added to my pallete. It does the same thing inside Illustrator.  Wish i could get rid of every pantone ink and adobe product at this point. 

The background keeps blinking. When I click on it, it stops. But then it starts again. I can't find any error messages. I am using InDesign 2025, version 20.0.1

HELLO,I have a rather big PDF 7 726KB, an architectural drawing, that I want to import to InDesgin so far without success. InDesign doesn't give me any error, but simply won't load it. I have tried to load other similar sized PDF with success however. Thanks!

Hi everyone.I have used the object style "myPic" for all my images.Can I make all images generate captions with one click? And then apply the object style "centCap” to all these captions.Thanks a lot.

If I place an image with cmd+D and then draw the frame manually with the mouse, the frame always has the same aspect ratio (3 to 4 landscape) and if I want to place an image in portrait format, the frame does not match the content. So far, this has always been the case without any extra setting or key combination. But now since a few days I can't achieve this again with any setting. ChatGPT advises me to select ‘Fit frame to content’ in the frame fitting options or in the presettings, but this is no longer available for selection. Has this been deliberately changed or is this a silly new bug? Has anyone experiences the same issue and is there a solution?Can I report this tho Adobe?

They appear in a grey box when I click on an object and move it. Never use them and find them highly annoying. Can I turn these off?

My design studio designed and formatted a book for a self-published author using InDesign and two fonts, one being an Adobe Font (Linux Libertine and Aaux Next). We provided the author with a print PDF in CMYK to upload. We have an active Adobe Cloud subscription for anyone using the files. We've designed and had dozens of books printed and never ran into this issue Amadon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) presented The author has spent the last several weeks going back and forth with KDP support about the proper file format they need and the Adobe Font used. KDP support told the author they couldn't print his book because KDP doesn't hold the license to the Adobe Font. 🙎 Amazon KDP support responses seem to contradict Adobe documentation on font licensing for printed books unless they're considered a print bureau. Even if they are that, we didn't provide packaged files so that wouldn't apply to this situation right? https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/using/font-licensin

I need to shift the position of my already established page numbering. Or in failing that, delete the current πage number fields and start over.The problem is, when I open my Master Pages, go to the Pages panel and select a page, then select either the Selection Tool or the Direct Selection Tool,I am unable to select the page number fields with either tool (or the Text tool). The page number fields remain grayed out. I've tried other things to no avail. I'm stuck. I cannot edit/adjust my page numbering position.Any help will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks.Kyle

I've looked up every tutorial I can find and they all say "save as ---> Save to the cloud" but saving to the cloud isn't an option."Save As" just brings me my computer system and the only options I have are to save to various files on my computer or to Apple's iCloud.😞

How do I get the text in an InDesign document with 44 endnotes, each of which has text with hyperlinks, into Word format such that the footnotes remain "smart" and the hyperlinks are still embedded?I have tried everything. Word, Google Docs, RTF, text only, INDD markup, INDD tagged text, etc. etc. Either I get the footnotes to be "smart" or the hyperlinks to remain embedded, but not both.

Hello, Viewing in Photoshop (100%):  Viewing in InDesign (300%, same screen size as PS):  Viewing at 100% in InDesign:  Why do fonts now appear jagged and irregular in Indesign? I've used other fonts — same problem.I’m using a previous version because the latest version has bugs — especially when using high-quality display.How can I fix this? I want to use anti-aliasing for fonts whenever possible. Adobe Indesign 20.0 x64Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.2.0 20241207.r.140 bc85906 x64Operating System: Windows 10 64-bitGPUName: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 

Hi,For some glyphs in Indesign, I get the message that Opentype properties are not applicable. I can open the Glyphs panel and double-click on the Glyph I want and have it written in the textbox. I can also easily select the glyph in Illustrator.Is there a setting that I do not know of? I am quite new to Illustrator.

I am experiencing visualization errors when scrolling/zooming my document (also happens when moving objects). Tried deactivating GPU in preferences, but no luck.Tried to uninstall and reinstall Indesign but still no luck.I work with a macbook pro with a Benq 32" external screen attached with HDMI, and the bug only seem to happen on the external screen. This never happened before and I didn't do any hardware change, so I'm at a loss.Any idea on how to resolve this? Indesign version is 17.0.1Mac Os Version: Monterey 12.1Mac details:Model Name: MacBook Pro  Model Identifier: MacBookPro16,1  Processor Name: 6-Core Intel Core i7  Processor Speed: 2.6 GHz  Number of Processors: 1  Total Number of Cores: 6  L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB  L3 Cache: 12 MB  Hyper-Threading Technology: Enabled  Memory: 16 GB  System Firmware Version: 1715.60.5.0.0 (iBridge: 19.16.10647.0.0,0)  OS Loader Version: 540.60.2~89Chipset Model: AMD Radeon Pr

otice in the example I gave thatWhen there is no table:The bottom of the left page is aligned.When the table is inserted, the bottom of the right page is not aligned.In the past I would adjust the line spacing before and after the table to roughly align, but with 100 tables I'm at a loss. And the client is always changing it around, making you go crazy a few firsts. I tried the first row baseline, but it is difficult to achieve automatic alignment because of the variable number of tables and rows per page. Finally I tried grid layout and the bottom automatically aligns.But another problem comes, the table is fixed in the grid, you can't move him, sometimes the table before and after spacing is not the same, it's hard to see.You can only adjust the row height, the space before and after the table. Do you guys have a good solution, can you share it.Thank you very much.

Hi everyone,I’m currently learning Adobe InDesign and have a basic understanding of  it like master pages, adding page numbers and using paragraph and character styles. I’m discussing a potential project to redesign a lengthy and detailed document (attached as a PDF) into a concise and visually appealing layout using InDesign. I would greatly appreciate suggestions on how to approach this redesign, particularly for organizing content effectively and creating a polished layout. Any tips on workflows, tools, or design techniques would be fantastic!I thought this would be a great place to seek guidance since the community here has such valuable expertise.Thank you in advance—I truly appreciate your help!

Using CS25 Indesign to produce a book exported to PDF.  There are about 20 chapters.  The same master is used for all pages: facing pages.  Page numbering is set up consistently and correct: odd pages start on right, etc.When exported to PDF as a spread.  Some of the chapter breaks work just fine.  But then, sometimes the last page of a chapter prints as a single page, and the first page of the next chapter prints as a single page.  And then it reverts correctly to a spread.  In the course of the 140 pages of the book, this odd behavior is repeated for about 10 of the 20 chapters.  I've checked everything I can think of: in pages panel "allow pages to shuffle" is checked.  Obviously I'm doing something inconsistently but I can't find out just what I'm doing to cause this sometimes OK and sometimes not OK performance.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
