InDesign

So this is a brand new MacBook Pro 15.1.1 (24B2091) with newly installed CC. I have multiple vector files placed that, upon export, come out really pixelated as if the links are missing (they're not). When I place them, this dialog box comes up as if I'm placing a pdf instead of an illustrator file. I tried resaving the vector files with "create pdf compatible file" unchecked, which had even worse results–no placed file that even displays in InDesign and just a message about how I should have saved it with the box checked. I've been using these programs a lot of years and haven't run into this before. I know the files are simple vector files and not raster, and all images are linked.

Bonjour,  Quand j'essaie d'ouvrir indesign l'interface apparait une fraction de seconde et disparait, impossible d'ouvrir le logiciel. J'ai tout essayé, réinstaller une version antérieure, mise à jour, dernière version,... Mais rien n'y fait, hors les autres applications fonctionnent parfaitement  Pourriez-vous m'aider ? 

I've laid out a book in InDesign (CC v 16.4) on a Mac (Montery v 12.1). The entire book is in one document but each chapter is a separate story. When I export to reflowable ePub, I can't get the chapters to start on a new page.  They all flow from the chapter before with just the space I've assigned in the "chapter #" paragraph style I created. How do I get the chapter to start on a new page?

Hi AllI am investigating an issue with Indesign installed from creative cloud that won't open once initially closed. It is on a Mac iMac19,2 macOS version 13.2.1 6-Core Intel Core i7Adobe InDesign 2025 20.0.1.32 When ever I close the application and go to reopen it, it opens for a second then closes itself. I have to either uninstall it and reinstall it to open it again or delete the folder called Version 20.0 in ~/Library/caches/adobe indesign I have tried:Reinstalling it and removing all the personal data and settingsReinstalled all of the adobe estate within creative cloudDeleted older versions of each appDeleted all the cache / cookies / preferences within indesign in the ~/libraryTried installing an older versionupdated the whole estate including creative cloudDeleted the 2024 version that was also installed It is also running illustrator / photoshop / acrobat which all seem to be working normally, but had updated them all as part

Is there any possibility in indesign to export layers to photoshop layers?I'm using the ExportLayersToPSv6.jsx script, but it doesn't work properly.I would welcome this feature in Indesign, but so would other corporate colleagues. Thanks for the tip on a serious script.The best option would be if Indesign could do it natively, in default settings. thanx

Hello,I am an experienced front-end web developer trying to make reflowable epubs  from indesign (beeing a very inexperienced indesign user). I am trying to make an object style that contain several text paragraps. I want it to result in the following html-code:<div class="blaRundeHjorner">  <p>some text…</p>  <p>some more text…</p></div>I made an object style, put two text paragraphs inside it and updated the Edit all export tags like this:The problem is that neither the html div tag nor its corresponding css from the object style is in the html-file in the epub. The paragrapt styles is however there. How can I get the object style as an html-tag in the epub html?

I wrote a code as follows, but I found that it was not executed well.

Bonjour, je cherche à remplacer automatiquement un glyphe par un autre en important un fichier word dans InDesign.Je m'explique : la typographie utilisée dans InDesign dispose de plusieurs jeux. J'applique une feuille de style de paragraphe avec le jeu par défaut, cela me convient, juste pour un caractère en particulier que j'aimeras remplacer par un autre proposé dans un autre jeu.  Ma question est donc de savoir comment automatiquement remplacer ce caractère (et uniquement ce caractère) par un glyphe qui se trouve dans un autre jeu ? Merci davance pour vos réponses !

I had problems with editing text in InDesign today - I can't change text colour or font or apply any paragraph styles. This happens in any document I open or if I open a new document. I have unistalled the app and updated to the latest Mac OS Sequoia 15.1.1 and installed the latest version of InDesign (20.0.1) and the issue persists.When I go to change the font colour I get a 'pop' sound like there is a popup or a confilct in the operation. However no error messages appear. There are no layers or paragraph styles in use.I have also tried going back to InDesign 19.5.1 but have the same issue.Has anyone had similar issue?

In InDesign plugin development, I want to perform color conversions, such as converting colors from RGB, HSB, and other color spaces to the CMYK color space. I found that the SDK provides the IColorConverter interface that can accomplish this functionality, but I haven’t figured out how to use it or how to obtain a pointer to the interface object. However, the SDK documentation and sample code do not provide any guidance or examples on this topic. Does anyone have sample code related to this?

Wenn ihr Darstellungsfehler in InDesign (v20.0.1.) habt,wie beispielsweise das Verrücken von Objekten beim Anklicken, oder wenn man keine Farben mehr anwenden kann, kann folgendes helfen: Wer die "Magnet"-App, sollte die Einstellung "Grünes Button-Menü anzeigen“ deaktivieren. Anschließend InDesign neu installieren.Zu diesem Zeitpunkt habe ich MacOs Sequoia v15 und InDesign v20.0.1Viel Erfog!

Hi all, since updating to 2025 edition I've noticed a bit of oddness when outputting sequences from a doc featuring multiple layouts. When selecting the 'Range' (e.g. X/'Twitter social media variant'), although there's multiple pages within that range, it's only letting me output one of the pages from it. Getting around it by outputting the entire document, then deleting the jpegs I don't need. Pretty sure I'm not doing anything doofy in the settings. Anyone else had this? 

Hi all, I have an issue in a class I teach. I often find that students seem to be "pasting" images into InDesign's layout, and I find it troublesome for a few reasons:1. I can't seem to figure out if it's distorted OR if it's the proper resolution for printing because no information comes up in the "info" or the "links" panel. Nothing.2. If it's not a link, then that seems to defeat the purpose of placing a linked image in  - in the sense that if you paste an image into the document, there's no way of updating it the way one can update a PSD that is "placed" into the document. I'm wondering if I'm way off base here in my distaste for what seems to be copying an image from the web and pasting it into the layout. Or, am I missing a window that does in fact show effective ppi for pasted images?I've attached a .ind that shows a photo pasted into the indesign layout. I just find it odd that info doesn't give me any info.

hi, I'm Patrizia and I'm new here and in Indesign practice. I can't find an useful updated info on importing multipages Pdf file in Indesign...Please help me.Thank youPatrizia

"Ghost text" remains on the screen after being adjusted or moved, and the screen only refreshes if I scroll until the text is not visible and then back again. (See screenshots 1 of "the ghost text".) Often new and old text are placed on top of each other as well.  I had this problem on my old Macbook Pro too, but I thought it would disappear on my new Macbook Pro 2024 (M4) with Indesign 2025 (v. 20.0) and OS 15.1.1 Sequoia. But the problem is still there! It occurs on my Macbook Pro screen as well as my external Samsung 4K screen. 1. I have deleted old preference and cache files, but it didn't help.2. I have tried setting Mac performance and energy usage to High Performance, but it didn't help.3. I have read that some people recommend turning off the GPU in Indesign, but I see no good reason why it should be necessary on a brand new Macbook Pro. It didn't solve the problem either. (See screenshot 2.)4. I don't have an app called Magnet, which some people thought cou

I remade a new document from one that got corrupted.All the index markers are, of course, in the text.But the index also contains a lot of  'see' and 'see also' cross references (192 in all). These are evidently not stored in the text, but somewhere in the original document.Is there any way to get these references into the new document? Importing topics from the original document doesn't do the trick: it imports the topic, but not the references, of course. So the cross-reference 'Absence see Judgment (default)' comes in as 'Absence' only, because that is the topic, the rest is the reference.Can anyone suggest a solution other than having to insert them one by one?

I am not a frequent user of Indesing but I manage.A couple of nights ago I've worked on this file, replaced some text, all good, smooth sailing.Last night I updated Indesing as per Creative Cloud suggesiton , I think I have now 15.0.2 and it's a lemon.I can't edit my text field without haing to wait several seconds. A simple selection of text takes 4-5 seconds if not more. Delete a single character and it takes ages.I've restarted my PC, Windows 10, without any success, closed everything all other applications, no improvement.There's a bunch of "Adobe CEP HTML Engine" in the Task Manager.Memory load is less than  1Gb. ( on Indesign )Processor is jumping occasionally to 20% or so.I've reduced the display quality to fast, changed the UI size, still no luck.No clue what's going on.Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone,I’m having a serious issue with a file that I was working on. While editing, the file closed unexpectedly, and since then, I haven’t been able to open it. Every time I try, I get an error message stating there’s a critical issue and prompting me to restart the program.I’ve tried everything I can think of:Checking for autosave or recovery options.Opening the file on a different device.Uninstalling and reinstalling the application.Nothing works. It seems like the file is completely inaccessible.Has anyone else experienced something similar? Are there any solutions to recover the file or fix the program? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the screen off message that appears when I try to open that file:Automatic recovery of Adobe InDesign program data failed. Would you like to try to recover "katalog schemat.indd" again?Press "Yes" to start recovery.Press "No" to skip data recovery.Press "Cancel" to postpone recovering all documents until later. Can anyon

Hi, I'm Patrizia and I'm new here and in Indesign 😊I can't believe... How to go back before latest changes done?... I can't find the little arrow going back...

Is there a flowchart plugin (similar to VISO) available for InDesign?

Hi All, I have 2 documents called "A" and "G" and 4 hyperlinks in "A". The 2 first hyperlinks named "_A 2 [1]" and "_A 2 [2]" are internal hyperlinks (their destination are in "A"). The 2 other hyperlinks namd "_G 2 (1)" and  "_G 2 (2)" are external hyperlinks (their destination are in "G").  Can someone explain me why we have a "grouping" for the 2 first (based on the "_A 2" Destination-Anchor name and not the 2 others?Could it be fixed to have these last hyperlinks visualized inside a "_G 2" grouping? Best,(^/)  The Jedi

Hi All,Currently I am upgrading my plugin from adobe 18.3 to 20.0.1.while compiling with new 2025 SDK , getting below error: error C2660: 'FileUtils::IDFileToPMString': function does not take 3 arguments while trying to match the argument list '(const IDFile, PMString, const bool16)'.In 2023 SDK, this method of "IDFileToPMString" was having 3 parms but now with 2 only. Its causing compilation failure. Is there any alternate for this issue?If I remove additional(last) argument while compiling the code, the code is getting compiled successfully but it that proper way of doing it ?Does it cause any issues while using my plugin with indesign ?Below attached the references from both SDKs. 

How would I iterate through every page in an Indesign document and build a list of the tables in each page, using the Indesign C++ SDK? 

I was trying to avoid starting with three consecutive spaces.I stumbled upon this expression not working.That is, I was trying to avoid the “what” line.Is my regularity wrong?
