InDesign

Hello,I have this issue and can't solve it, when I open my file on indesign 2023 or 2022, all my design are not displaying (preview mode) can not see my design, even the text, I right clicked on all the elements in the page and did the high quality display in display performance, but didn't solved my problem. I preview the file on cpu, nothing changed.if someons can help please, would appreciate it.

Variables cannot be changed with the text using a text box.Can't use brace alignment?In general, we will stretch the variable text box to stop the text content from being too long.But sometimes, I want to use the forced both alignment feature, and the auto brace feature. It's strange.The variable textboxes on the homepage don't use “Align at both ends”.Nor can you use the frame's “Height and Width Autochange”..It's not an unusual need. I get it all the time.For example, I want Pinyin to automatically scatter align the Chinese characters on the previous line 

Bonjour.Quelle est la version d'InDesign la plus récente compatible avec MasOS Big Sur 11.7.10. Merci.Good morning.What is the latest version of InDesign compatible with MacOS Big Sur 11.7.10 ? Thanks.

I have been using InDesign since it's beginning and, for the first time, I am stumped on this issue. When typing text in InDesign I have to hit the first letter twice before it shows. For example, if I was typing "How are you"? It would look like this "ow are you"? Unless I hit the "H" twice.This is a recent issue - last couple of months or so. I ran all updates through the cloud. This does not happen with a new file with no P or C styles. The problem is that this is affecting all of my document templates which contain extensive styles. When I create a new file then import all styles, it starts happening again.I thought I would ask around before having to create all new templates from scratch.Thanks

Although InDesign 20.0 ran under 14.7.1 Sequoia for a while, the program no longer wants to start. After the click, the image appears and everything seems to be normal. Then the window opens. But it remains gray (DarkMode) and there is nothing to see. Crashes!Of course, I did everything. Newly installed. Cleared caches. No extensions. Safety mode. All fonts disabled. Font program turned off.None of it helps.On my other iMac (same configuration, applications and system) it runs. The only difference is, ONEDRIVE!On the iMac with ONEDRIVE, InDesign suddenly does not run. Don't forget, the problem only happened when opening a file. Previously, the program was running. Since then, InDesign has not been running.

Bonsoir,Je ne parviens pas à sélectionner le caractère masquer # de fin d'un article et donc à le supprimer. Qui saurait m'aider ? Merci

Hi all, we work on many InDesign files with macOS Sonoma and Windows 10-11.  The images, the graphic elements, and ID files are stored on different NAS devices.  Editing ID files with different operating systems causes missing imported files during the opening.  Looking at the path for macOS, it is: file:///Volumes/NAS/Archive...and for Windows, it is:file:///Z:/Archive... Is the only solution to start working with the same kind of operating system? In complex or multi-system companies, this is a nightmare. Is there a solution? Thx

I’ve got a really strange issue with InDesign not letting me replace some. DM Sans is open and visable in the font list. But when I try to replace the fonts it doesn’t disappear from the list. All the documents open up and bring up this missing font list. If I ignore it then the documents do look ok. There’s no highlighted text and nothing appears to be “visually” missing. However, DM Sans does appear in the list with brackets around it – indicating it’s missing. Any ideas?

Sent out a docment to a team using Publish Online. Now it I'm getting a Document Not Found web page. I then went to check all my other Publish online documents and have the same error. HELP! Deadline to send this out is today.  

That's really bad. I do not have the time to check the preferences with the older version to look what preferences I had and the worse thing is, ALL defined colours are gone... Same is for formats and stuff, I have to do everything from the scratch, this is really really bad! So please let us use the preferences of the older version as it always worked that way before!   <Title renamed by moderator>

Hello! I'm trying to add a prologue by copying and pasting the text from my Word Document into my inDesign file. I can get the first few paragraphs to show up on the prologue page, but instead of the rest autoflowing to the page directly after, it skips and cuts into chapter 1, so it's not in order at all. It should flow like this:Page 1: Prologue openerPage 2-3ish: Rest of prologue Instead it's like this:Page 1: Prologue openerPage 2: Chapter 1 openerPage 3: Rest of prologue I'm so confused.

Due to new accessibility laws that have been introduced this month we have to make sure all images within any artwork we produce have alt text. I can do this no problem for PNG and JPEG files within Indesign but any vectors, EPS or ai files don't show the alt text once exported as a PDF. I have tried adding the alt text via object export options as well as add the alt text into the file info description and then creating an object style and selecting XMP description but nothing works - all I get when I hover over the image in Acrobat is a cursor with a outlined box (see image). I have tried adding the alt text in Acrobat too but this doesn't work on vectors either. Any advice on how to resolve this issue? Currently I am having to drop a transparent PNG over the top of any vectors within Indesign and adding the alt text to that - not an ideal work around.

Hello, I'm trying to generate a table of contents and it's not picking up the one paragraph style I've specified. Thus, my TOC is blank. Here's what I'm doing: 1) Open "Table of Contents" document and click Layout > Table of Contents2) Set the table of contents as per image below and click "OK"3) Result is shown in image belowAs you can see my "Table of Contents" document is my style source, and I synchronized just before trying to generate the TOC. There is no spelling discrepancy in the style name between documents. The paragraph style is in use in most of the documents, e.g. the image below:What am I doing wrong here? - Mike P.S. here is a link to the files if anyone wants to take a closer look:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kzk0knh3vlghpc3/AADllwOGMc6aOyZ4Be-A-i30a?dl=0

Hey all, wondering how to better use the eye dropper tool in InDesign for color selection. In Illustrator/Photoshop you can just hover over the colors and make as many color selections as you want until you find the exact color you're looking for. However, it seems that in InDesign, you can only eye-drop one color before the tool freezes. I have to click off my object and then re-click it to activate the eye dropper to make a second selection. It adds so many clicks and is frustrating when trying to find exact colors. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Fellow Adobe users and hopefully developers,I've already asked the Apple community about how to remove all the additional foreign fonts on our Adobe software but it seems I'm caught in a in-between state of Apple/Adobe alluding it is the responsibility of the other party to remove the additional foreign fonts. I understand the concept of the Mac OS needing many options of fonts, I've just run into the very big problem of InDesign crashing upon launch (Day 3 of this... very bad for productivity), which drove me to research what to do when I stumbled upon a post that said to try clearing the Font cache on my MacBook Pro. I did, it seems to help launch InDesign more consistently but it still crashed a few times until this moment (knock on wood). If I needed to clear my font cache on my Mac OS yet still see multiple pages of foreign fonts on my Adobe software (bracing to see what havoc the next launch of InDesign will bring) this still leaves the problem of which company will resolve the m

So I have some customers that are still on InDesign 18.3 and 18.5 and they cannot update to a later version because they are using third-party software that is locked to these versions. After purchasing some new hardware, they are unable to download or install InDesign 18/2023 via the CC app. I reached out to Adobe support, but all they would give me is a link for an 18.0 installer. The installer works, but there is no longer any way for the CC app to update it to 18.3/4/5. I have asked them repeatedly and the same answer every time-this is the only installer we have OR update to 2024 or 2025 which is not an option. The only thing that has sorta worked is copying the InDesign app itself from a working machine and copying over the 18.0 version that got installed with the installer. This is a less than ideal solution-anyone have any ideas or access to 18.3/4/5 updates, directly?

I’m using InDesign Version 20.0.1 on macOS Sonoma Version 14.7.1. The screen turns white when dragging an object with the Selection Tool. The screen also flashes white when selecting inside a text frame with the Type Tool, and the blinking cursor doesn’t appear in the frame. I tried hiding rulers but that didn’t help. The option for GPU Performance in InDesign Preferences is grayed out: 

How to differentiate between full and half-colon double quotes.Trying to look for  " in InDesign and ended up finding  “ as well.how do I differentiate between them in Grep? Already checked the full half-corner option below, but it doesn't seem to be working. 

Indesign often records screen and audio for a few seconds even if it doesn't have active permission. How is this possible? And for what reason? The screenshot is to show that no app has permission to record.   <Title renamed by MOD>

Bonjour à tous et toutes, j'utilise la suite Adobe sur plusieurs PC sans souci d'habitude.Mais sur l'un d'entre eux (Windows 11 PC récent) Indesign ne veut plus s'ouvrir (ça affiche le pop-up de lancement mais il disparait directement).  Après enquête, le souci arrive à la version 19.4 et suivante, si je réinstalle la 19.3 (ou inférieure) tout fonctionne bien.Aucun souci sur les autres PC quelle que soit la version. J'ai fait toutes les actions de trouble shooting proposées par Adobe (réinstaller en supprimant tout etc.., supprimer le cache, vérifier les droits, les DLL etc...) Rien en change, dès que je suis en version 19.4 ou plus ça ne démarre plus. Quelqu'un a une idée SVP ?

 

I'm working on a long manuscript.  I was having certain problems yesterday with this document crashing InD, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the program and recreated the document (luckily I wasn't very deep into it at that point).  All was well until today when I needed to make frequent use of the Find/Replace box.  Now, a different problem has sprung up. As I'm typing in the search phrase, my cursor jumps back to the beginning of the field, and my search phrase ends up garbled.  For example, I searched for the phrase, "inseparable from laptop use," but because the cursor jumped around, the phrase ended up as "laptop use inseparable from."  I first thought it was user error and tried to type it again, but the same thing happened again with various results -- none of it matching what I was trying to type.  I finally had to type very, very slowly and pause between each keystroke before I could get the phrase correctly entered into the field. Has a

Hey there.I'm working on a large book consisting of several chapters. Off course the first InDesign document contains a table of contents and it does correctly display all chapters from the other documents. However, when exporting the bookmarks / hyperlinks in the TOC are all broken for any link that is not within that InDesign document. I.e.:<doc 1> TOC; TOF; TOC; Chapter 0;<doc 2> Chapter 1; C1.1; C1.2; C1.2.1; C1.2.2;<doc x> .... <Table of contents displays>TOC <OK> TOF <OK> TOC <OK> C0 <OK> Chapter 1 <LINK BROKEN> C1.1 <LINK BROKEN> C1.2 <LINK BROKEN> C1.2.1 <LINK BROKEN> C1.2.2 <LINK BROKEN> Chapter 2 <LINK BROKEN> .... <LINK BROKEN>This happens on the Table of Contents as well as my Table of Figures and Table of Tables. So I assume it is more structural. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this?&nb

The screen turns white when I try to select multiple objects. Flickering also appears when I try to move an object

Since last week, pdfs exported from InDesign as Interactive are unexpectedly large – like 12.5 MB instead of 2-3 MB. I tried using the smallest resolution too, but previously I used the default Interactive specs and resolution size of 144 PPI and still had small files.  When I open and re-save them as “reduce file size” or “optimize" in Acrobat, the pdfs don’t get smaller. That has been my workaround in the past, but these pdfs can't be reduced in size more than 1MB. This is happening across multiple InDesign projects, but I have one template I have used for years and been able to always save it out to a small size. There is nothing unusual or new with the content of the files that I can discern. The template file which I'm troubleshooting doesn't even have transparency and the placed images are either small vector files or compressed jpgs. What I tried: I tried exporting from three InDesign versions.I installed the Adobe PPD and made the pdf the old-fashioned
