InDesign

Hello! I hope all is well. have tried all adobe articles on InDesign troubeshoots, crashed files, damages files. But I can't seems to open the InDesign file, and when I click on it is says "Cannot add data to "file name" the file "name" is damaged. (Error code: 6). I have tried to drag and drop the InDesign file here because I was able to save it to desktop. The damaged file started after I exported the InDesign file as a print pdf actually. I'm rarely on here so if you guys are able to help in any way to open and recover the file it would mean the world!<3 I will check back here when I can but my email is: (personal info removed by MOD) Is there an Adobe support email I can contact directly about this issue if they are able to help?     <Title renamed by moderator>   Thanks so much again!

I am using await app.open(file.nativePath) to open files in a for loop. Is there anyway to open a file without getting this prompt? Some sort of parameter or command?   

Is there a way to markup a document in InDesign with dimensions?Much like you can do in a drafting program, like AutoCAD.See sample screenshot below (made in AutoCAD). 

I have Windows 11 with the highest specs, and its up to date! Why is it not compatible? 

How do I buy InDesign without using Creative Cloud? And, what's the cost? Thanks.Frank

Hello, I created an interactive PDF on InDesign for WhatsApp, but its functionality is limited to certain devices.

I want to know what is causing the following issue in InDesign.  I apply a paragraph style (with no Minion Pro reference) to an article, text or complete document.As you can see in (image 1) i applied the paragraph style 'brood' and in the left top corner you can see that the selected text is 'TheSansB' font. When i put a blinking cursor at the end of a sentence and give a return for a blank line, then suddenly the deafault Minion Pro appears as the default font (image 2). As the cursor is blinking it still says that font is 'TheSans'. I checked all my styles, styles override etc.. but the Minion Pro is nowwhere to be found.Even when i have nothing selected dan my default font is 'TheSans'. When processing large text for a book or magazine its very annoying ans unthrustworthy. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Hi, when i publish indesign document, the button has this issue (pic). I tried to upload the button by copying directly from illustrator (ctrlc-ctrlv), then i tried uploading a png - still it does this. Can anyone help? It's driving me crazy. Yesterday more pictures had lines over them, all got fixed by reuploading. I'm afraid that at any given moment I will have to reupload everything again. 

One of our users is having issues exporting PDFs from InDesign. Apparently everyone else can export the PDF just fine but she is unable to, copying the PDF settings from another user who was working and trying it on hers still failed to export. I can export a few pages at once until it fails but the user doesn't want to delete any images because it's working on the other PCs. They are using Sharepoint and OneDrive sync to access the files and all the images. She has permission to all the folders that the other users has. The file path for each item I believe is different because it goes through C\Users\*user*\One Drive ...This did affect the links but even after removing the links that errored, it was still unable to export. I've uninstalled and re-installed InDesign but I don't use InDesign enough to have good troubleshooting skills. I can't even find any log files to see whats going wrong, it just fails with no useful errors. I created a blank document a

I've lost the ability to select colors in the swatch pallette. Is anyone else have the same problem? 

Can I place a file that I have saved in Cloud documents into Indesign?What is the benefits in saving in Cloud documents actually?

Working on a project in ID and have been asked if there is a way to have scrollable text on the final PDF file. From all I am seeing the answer is no but thought I would reach out and ask. Thanks!

Experincing an issue with InDesign crashing when trying to use the spellcheck feature. Computer is a MacBook Pro running MacOS 15.1 What we have already tried:  Removed Indesign plist preferences from the library removed adobefnt.lst filesuninstalled/reinstalled InDesign and Adobe CC applications.  It appears to crash at the same spot on the document. Looking for any other troubleshooting steps outside of the basic ones we have already tried. 

I've been having a few issues with exported PDFs from In Design in the last few weeks.The errors only occur when the recipient tries to open the file when sent over email. I switched email clients and even bought a new computer - thinking one of these factors was the issue but I was wrong. Issues:- When an exported InDesign document is exported to PDF emailed, the recipient gets an error that the file is corrupted. When i upload the file to We Transfer, it opens without issue.- When I email a PDF exported from Indesign to a client which contains images, on some occasions some of the images drop out/disappear. However, the photos appear as they should in the file i sent My InDesign and Adobe apps are both up to date. Google doesnt seem to have a solution, so i am seeking some help for this bug.

I needed a clean font and purchased a 1-license from font.com for the Monotype library. Then was prompted to include FontExplorer X Pro 6x. I cannot get my new fonts to load or replace in an InDesign document. Of course it's due at the printer. I keep coming across "clean out my font cache" but no idea how to do that. What is the best way to start with Font Explorer? I've checked the boxes to activate but not yet happened.

Hi People, Since InDesign 17.1, I've found that what I open up the colour panel under Appearance to change the colout of text, the top of the panel disappears off screen like below.As a result, I am unable to select the text fill icon to set a colour for the text.If I pull the InDesign window down, I can see the whole panel: I'm unable to drag the panel lower in the screen.I note that the same behaviour doesn't happen with rectangle or similar fills.Can this be fixed please as its downright annoying.Andrew 

Has anyone else had the experience of InDesign changing document sizes to match the default size on a home printer? It's taken me too long today to work out why my document size kept changing from A6 to A4 when I exported it to PDF, even when I exported it as a JPG file. Getting InDesign to forget my printer seems to have fixed this bug, but maybe it was just good 'ole magic. Any clues InDesign gurus?

when i open indesign it always keep loading like this... ive updted indesign. ive updated my mac, reinstalled indesgin. nothing works....

Hi all,I have exported my document, in the EPUB it looks fine and works well.  The buttons with the page titles are just to display interactivity and not go anywhere, however when looking at the PDF, there is constant flickering and not displaying with a block of white and black text on hover, then revert to normal off hover... any help would be great, not really sure how to fix (I know its janky). Very simple, with normal text is white, when rolled over the white box shows and changes the text to black. Thanks!

Hi there, My indesign file has just corrupted with error code 6 and now It will not open again.This assignment is due tomorrow and it is 50 hours of work. I have tried deleteing the recovery files in the cache but It hasn't worked. Can anyone let me know how to fix it or recover an older version of it I have uploaded the file to dropbox here https://www.dropbox.com/s/2a4vljm84ydb6ll/Manukau%20slides.indd?dl=0 Thank you -Ciaran

Hey! Just checking in to see if anyone else experiences this problem: When I go to create a new document in InDesign, the Dialog Box will reset itself after a few seconds as I'm trying to set parameters (page size, margins, units, etc...) It's not a bug that prevents me from using the software altogether, but it's pretty annoying starting to get everything set and then it all just reverts back to what it was. It happens everytime I try to create a new file, usually just once, but sometimes twice. I've experienced it through multiple updates now. I have a screen recording of it if it helps. Thanks!

Hey folks, When I export these files, they often have weird lines on them the first time I export them. The second time - they're fine. I can't put my finger on what is going on. Here are the images:Lines examples  No lines examples Here are my settings:Transparency blend mode: RGBQuality: Maximum or High (doesn't seem to make a difference)Resolution: 300 ppiColour space: RGBChecked: transparent backgroundChecked: Anti-alias (is it this??)  On Windows 10, Indesign v 15.1.2 (I'll update soon, but this has happened across multiple verisons). Let me know if you need any more info! Thanks
