InDesign

Hi Is there a way to a launch a script to automatic change all the paragraph styles in a file from one font family to another. I'd like to: open a indesign file, open scripts, click a script, choose a font family i want to change to (or have one assigned), then done? I dont want to change the font (i.e. bold, regualr, semi, etc), i only want the family to change. I can do this manually style by style but its a long process. I found this is the default change when i try to use the find and replace formatting option in indesign. For example i have english files in one font (Inter) and we have translations made for me but they require to to be in (Noto Sans SC) for Chinese. Thanks

Hi everyone,I’m encountering an issue where I can’t export my design file to PDF. The process doesn’t show any error messages—it just doesn’t work. Has anyone faced a similar problem or knows how to resolve it?Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi All,  I have the following script for PC. Its working perfectly, except I need to set the "through cut" spot colour to overprint, and no matter what we (myself & Chat GPT) try, it just will not do it. I know this is possible as I have had it at a previous workplace, but I didn't create that script and so did not take it with me when I left. Any assistance is appreciated!  #target indesign// Function to create or get the "Cut" layerfunction createOrGetCutLayer() {var doc = app.activeDocument; // Get the active documentvar cutLayer = doc.layers.itemByName("cut");// If the layer doesn't exist, create itif (!cutLayer.isValid) {cutLayer = doc.layers.add({ name: "cut" });alert('Layer "cut" has been created.');} else {alert('Layer "cut" already exists.');}return cutLayer;}// Function to create or get the "Through Cut" spot colorfunction getOrCreateThroughCutSpotColor() {var doc = app.activeDocument;var spotColor;// Check if the spot color "Through Cut" already

Hi, I am working on my first book layout. Based on some research, I need to set up hyphenation and justification so that my body text feels balanced.Is there a recommended starting point for setting up justification or a standard that works well ?When applying justification, should I do it across my entire body text or create a new style and apply it only to areas that need improvement?Are there any suggested settings for hyphenation that are standard?4. Are there any other good practies or things to avoid?Thank you very much!

Hi All, hope you can helpWe have recently signed up to Creative Cloud and are now working on a large graphic project with a new catalog. When we try and export the indesign file to pdf we run into two problems. First problem is that we are not able to choose certain pages, where we normally write the pages wanted we get this value already set 'A4 L' and we cannot change this value to the pages we want.Another problem is the following warning:'The preset specifies source profiles that do not match the current color settings file. The profiles defined by the color settings file are used instead.' any idea how we can solve the above, thank you so much in advance

Hi!I am searching for a way to use pdfs in indesign and to rasterize them there. Now I am opening them before in photoshop to rasterize them. I only need the pdf-image rasterized not the whole page or the hole file, is there any way to do that faster in indesign only without a second program?

Whenever I open an InDesign document the view seems to be different. Sometimes it's 100% but the page is off centre, sometimes it fills the entire screen, but it's NEVER as I want it to be! I'd like my documents to open with the page at 100% and centered. I seem to remember that years and years ago InDesign would remember your last view or at least open a document with my prefered view but since a few years already I am getting odd random views. See the attached screenshots for two examples: the A4 is shown at 100% but off center, the A5 is shown in the center but filling the window at 141%... It's different every time! (BTW I saved both documents with a centered view of 100%.)  I was hoping the recent ID version would solve this problem but it didn't. There HAS to be a way to make a specific view default... right...?!

Hi, What is the best method to archive a larger spacing between word like this?  Thank you!

Hi.I have successfully completed a script for InDesign. Now I just want to output a final message with the (dynamic) file name. Some of these files contain German umlauts (Ä, Ü, Ö). These and the spaces (not %20) should be displayed correctly in the warning message. How can I achieve this?  Regards

Hola, tengo un grave problema con indesing y el PDF interactivo. Sucede que estoy trabajando con botones y estados de objeto, se supone que al hacer clic en cada boton debe "ir al estado siguiente" , cuando hago la previsualización EPUB todo bien, pero cuando lo exporte a pdf interactivo no FUNCIONA NINGUN BOTÓN, estoy desesperada. Tengo la versión INGESING 2020 y el ADOBE ACROBAT PRO DC. Les dejo un video para que vean el problema.https://youtu.be/y-CsgjPZbKM?si=uYjfDcXzdMGGOGaN

Does anyone know how to bring a page number inserted on a master page above any content on a page, such as an image?

Hi, I am working on my first book layout. For the body spacing, it seems that sometimes the spacing between words is larger in certain places. I imagine this is happening because the body text is set to justify with the last line aligned left.My question is: Is it acceptable to leave it like this? If not, what solutions are there to fix this?  Thank you very much! 

Because I was experimenting, I created way too many print presets in a document I want to print. How do I delete them so I can start over?

I'm looking to streamline my workflow a touch more and have my business artwork proof documents as a template preset in InDesign. These proofs contain artwork and text such as our logo, approval disclaimers, date and time scripts with electronic sigantures. We use these documents to place the artwork we produce for the customer to approve. I cannot find a solution to have these set-up as "presets" in the New Document window. Would be nice to have these on the app itself rather than going to my documents each time to pull it out and open. I can only find solutions that allow us to set up margins, columns, doc size etc. Does anyone have a solution for inserting these template files for our company in a preset that I can select from the new document window and the home page of indesign?Thanks in advance!

Hello,I'm having issues with the KDP previewer regarding a couple of chapter pages that have a background color (a solid color shape). My book is 6x9", and since there are these pages that have a background color that extends to the edges, the document is set to 6.125x9.25" with bleeds. The margins are correct and exceed the minimum requirements.When I remove the background color (delete the shape), the error goes away, but I want to keep the background color for design purposes.How can I resolve this issue? Did I do something wrong?I've attached screenshots of the document setup, the actual document, and the KDP preview.Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello - i've tried everything that has been posted in regards to guides that has been listed on this forum and nothing works. I am using a pre-exising document that i didn't create. When I go to drag over a new guide from the ruler, as soon as the guide hits the page, a grid appears that i did not set. These guides look different then the guides I am setting up as they don't extend beyond the page, but they also don't appear to be grids, because they only respond to the "Hide all guides" command. Any insight is appreciated.

I've got a routine that makes a list of headlines & sorts them, which ends up as bookmarks. When a headline contains an anchored object, the resulting text includes a glyph, a tiny dotted box with 'OBJ' in it, which looks bad in the final list of bookmarks. Using string.charAt(x) for the character returns 65532.I suppose I could write a function that loops through the sentence's characters & discards any 65532, but that seems like overkill if there's a regexp replace string. I already run string.replace(/\s+/g, " ") to replace non-space invisible ctrl characters w/space, but that pattern doesn't affect the object character. Does this ring a bell with anyone?Thanks.

While subscribing to adobe pro I accidently misspelled the gmail domain name <id>.gamil.com instead of  <id>gmail. I was subscribing from the app where I was not logged in to my acctual account.  I first thought since the account is invalid the subscription might not go through. Now my card is getting charged the earily subscription.
