InDesign

I have a half-page postcard with small images embedding. I’m trying to save it to my CC files so I can share with a collaborator, but it either never saves or takes 20-30 minutes to save. Is that normal?

Hi everyone. I downloaded the latest North American English version to get the "Share for Text Editing" feature, but when I open a new file and click "SHARE," I only see "Share for Review or Comment." Does anyone know why I don't have the "Share for Text Editing" feature?Thanks everyone for your help!

When having a file open in InDesign 2024 on my Macbook Pro (Sonoma 14.2.1 OS), close the lid, plug into my LG UltraFine external monitor and wake the computer up, the InDesign window is still open and all the tool bars are visible and working, but the area where the artwork is becomes black/blank and I can't see the work. I can see the bounding boxes if I select all, but no image or text. The window is entirely blank. The same thing happens if I'm working on my LG monitor, unplug the display and then open the Macbook to work. I always have my Macbook closed when plugged into the LG display and use both an external keyboard and trackpad. The solution is to always save, quit InDesign and reopen. If I go through that it works again. Is it a bug with Apple? Is it a bug with Adobe? My LG firmware, OS and Adobe InDesign are all updated to the latest versions.

I am constantly having to call our IT Department to fix an issue with even opening InDesign up. They say without Adobe making a “Patch” to fix the problem, we will continue to have these issues. Please, Adobe, fix my InDesign issue once and for all. I use it all day, every day for my job.

HiEach time I import an image into Indesign, the image loads okay, but I get the blue swirling ‘loading’ icon that never stops. I can save my document, and the menus still work but I can’t work on the actual page, and the only way I can clear it it to Force quit Indesign using Task Manager. This started about 2 weeks ago, and was fine before and I haven’t made any changes to my PC. I thought maybe it started after an update of Indesign, so I tried reverting to an older version, but still had the same problem.I have tried re-installing Indesign. (version21.3)  I use Windows 11.I really hope you can help please?Thanks Chris

Indesign crashes when exporting to PDF interactive when it was working fine a few months ago. published direct to my computer, contains 2 hyperlinks. Indesign Version 21.5.1This is frustrating as I am trying to keep my team working on Indesign instead of using AI to do reports. And I am losing the battle when we cannot do a simple task as exporting a pdf (single page) : this is killing our productivity. I have an apple silicon M2 Max chipOS version 14.3.1 (23D60)I hope you /someone can help me sort this out.Much appreciated. 

Can anyone explain to me why every single time there is an update to InDesign or Bridge on my machine, i immediately get the Application error 0xc0000142 unable to start correctly? I know that simply repairing Visual C++ Redistributable will fix the issue, but in my instance, that is an admin task that we are not able to accomplish without getting our IT Helpdesk involved. So basically everytime I update, I am dead in the water until my helpdesk team can get on it. It is just silly.  And yes, we have uninstalled and reinstalled both the Adobe programs and the latest C++ packages. What is the deal and how to correct this?

I updated to InDesgin V20.0 on a Mac and no matter what tool I select, the cursor/mouse pointer arrow changes to a hand with index finger pointing (see image below). This is very confusing and hard to adapt to. I also can't tell what tool I'm using by looking at the pointer as it's always the hand icon. I'd like to switch it back to the former arrow pointer or the tool that's being used but can't figure out how. Anyone else having htis issue or figured out a workaround?    <Title renamed by MOD>

After a very, VERY long list of new bugs that appear in the Adobe suite like copy and paste not working, constant crashing and instability, indesign is coming to a new low. Since the last 2 updates I can't even seem to close Indesign without using force close in the Windows task manager?! How can I get this program to close without having to resort to bashing it with the Windows banhammer every single time.Running the latest version of CC and indesign, no background tasks active and  everything works except every single native option to close the program!And with a 14th gen i7, 16GB CPU and 64GB DDR5 it's not a performance issue.Strangly when using the free Affinity tools there are none of the horrible and inexcusable bugs that a billion dollar company can't seem to fix.

저는 중학생이고 학교에서 지원받은 노트북이 RAM 4GB 입니다.현재 인디자인 설치 최소사양은 RAM 8GB인데 설치가 되지않아 사용을 못하고있습니다.2024버전에는 4GB 사양으로도 사용가능하다고 하던데 구버전은 어디에서 다운로드 받을수 있을까요?링크나 설치파일 공유 좀 부탁드리겠습니다ㅠㅠ

When I select Paragraph or Text in InDesign file It will take time to select and then take time to deselect.Slow performance for each task why?

Depois que atualizei o INDD para a versão mais recente o desfazer parou de funcionar propriamenteSe voce fizer 10 ações ele some com as primeiras na aba historico e ficam só as 4 ultimas mais ou menos, só da para desfazer 4 açõesJa apaguei cache, remontei o cache, reinstalei e nada resolveuEu tenho 32 de ram, então não deve ser por causa de pouca memoria, mesmo porque até então funcionava muito bemAlguem tem alguma luz? Obrigado! 

Hi Adobe Team,As someone with years of experience using Photoshop and Illustrator, I find it frustrating that InDesign lacks certain standard mouse features found in these programs. This inconsistency creates unnecessary friction and makes the workflow less intuitive.Zooming with the Scroll Wheel: In InDesign, zooming requires holding the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) key while scrolling. This extra step is not required in other Adobe programs and adds an unnecessary layer to memorization and workflow. Direct zooming with the scroll wheel would align InDesign with industry standards and significantly improve usability.Middle Mouse Button for the Hand Tool: Many design programs allow users to pan by clicking and holding the middle mouse button (scroll wheel). In InDesign, this functionality is missing, forcing reliance on the Spacebar. Adding support for the middle mouse button to pan would make navigation faster and more intuitive.These features are essential for a seamless user experi

Suddenly I can’t Find and Replace in InDesign. Most of the Edit menu is greyed out. I’ve ensured that either a text box or a paragraph is selected and this makes no difference. I’ve never had this problem before and it’s just happened suddenly. I haven’t changed any settings.

For the past few months, I’ve been able to work around this issue, but it has now reached a point where I can’t. When exporting PNG files in Adobe InDesign, the drop shadows shift position during export. The shadows appear correctly within InDesign, but once the PNG is exported, the shadows are visibly displaced from their original placement. I am currently using Adobe InDesign version 21.3.Here’s a longer forum:This forum has been marked as “answered” but it is only suggested workarounds from the community.Here’s an example:Inside Indesign, the shadows are where they’re supposed to be.Flattened .png files placed as assets in Animate.  The shadows moved.I’ve gone back into InDesign multiple times to correct the shadow placement and re-export the files, but the shadows continue to export incorrectly, which has become a major issue in my workflow.I’ve been dealing with this bug daily for months, often having to resize assets in InDesign just to temporarily work around the problem. I’m ho

While working with images, InDesign displays a continuous blue spinning indicator. Image frames cannot be resized reliably, numeric dimension changes stop responding, and InDesign eventually freezes and must be closed through Task Manager.Troubleshooting completedRebuilt and fully updated Windows 11 -- Dell Precision 5570 running Windows 11Installed current Dell-supported drivers.Installed the Dell NVIDIA RTX A2000 8 GB driver.Reinstalled Creative Cloud, InDesign, and all required Adobe applications.Confirmed the issue persists after the rebuild and reinstall.Could I please confirm:Whether this is a current known InDesign issue. Which versions are affected. Whether a fix or supported workaround is available. Whether InDesign is expected to invoke cmd.exe. Which logs or diagnostic files should be collected.

Our 3 person graphics department is working on a updating a 15 section 350+ page catalog in InDesign CC2017. We've created a book file and are making changes to the different sections (opening them only through the book file) but are finding revisions that have been made were not saved when we re-open the sections later in the day or the following day. There are always multiple sections in the indb panel with yellow caution triangles saying the document was modified outside the book file which is odd since the sections are opened only through the indb file.The catalog is entirely product based and all the text has paragraph and character styles applied.

I am using InDesign 21.3, working on a simple 2 page file, I go to place a logo and the blue thinking wheel pops up and doesn’t go away. I can click and move things around but none of it is being “saved”. I close the file and click to close the program and it just sits there still open. I then have to force quit the program. When I relaunch the file opens with the software and everything I did while the wheel was spinning was not saved.It’s done this several times since the update and there is no pattern to why. I’m finding it randomly acting up. It’s really frustrating, especially when I’m not working on anything complicated.

For example, I select multiple objects, and then call functions that are suitable for the content of the framework.There are two ways, which one is more efficient (more scientific)?var d = app.activeDocument;var item = d.selection[0]; var items = d.selection; var sel = items;// 00001 outer loopfor (var i = 0; i < sel.length; i++) { frameFitToContent(sel[i])}function frameFitToContent(s) { s.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);}// 00002 internal circulation----frameFitToContent(items);function frameFitToContent(sel) { for (var i = 0; i < sel.length; i++) { sel[i].fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT); }} 

I was working on a document in Adobe InDesign 2026, and suddenly, black boxes and other organic shapes started to appear on the screen. They seem to be embedded in the creative - meaning, they move with the screen, like a normal object would, but there's no trace of the editable object on the live page nor on the master. I can't remove it, and I don't know where it came from.

 How can i cancel paid plan? and also my Visa card is unavailable, because I couldn’t cancel the plan, so I decided to close the card account. I tried many times to cancel…what i can do right now to cancel?Also tried to contact the support!!!

(Usually, I double click on that small square to shrink it.Now I want to implement it with code.)The framework is suitable for the content (sel [i]. fit (FitOptions. FAME-TO-CONNECT); ）It seems to have no effect on width.I guess this involves two steps:Firstly, set the text frame to automatically adjust to: height and width, without line breaks.Secondly, set the text frame to automatically adjust to 'none'.I don't know, is this safe?or , Is there still a better idea? 

Hi everyone. I am looking for a way to make a keyboard shortcut to “Break link to paragraph style”. I have tried to do it the usual way, but when I use the new shortcut, it changes (its not kept as it is). Does anyone have a solution for this? 

 Hi ​@m1b Long time no see, I miss you very much.The original post cannot be replied toToday I came across several strange pictures, some of which had their captions changed to 'Default' after using this script.Some of them are errors below the prompt. I guess they are not recognizing the image, or the image is outside the layout, or there are locked or hidden images?Also, can we avoid grouping images and captions together? Because this feature is actually not practical.  Here is the code (unchanged)/** * @discussion https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/is-there-a-way-to-apply-generic-static-caption-to-all-graphic-containers/m-p/13367937#M503941 */function main() { var doc = app.activeDocument, graphics = doc.allGraphics; // add caption to each graphic in document for (var i = 0; i < graphics.length; i++) { var contents = ( // try to get the graphic's xmp "description" getXMPProperty(graphics[i], 'description') /

Hi everyone,I'm formatting a document in InDesign and I'm trying to create a hanging indent for numbered sections.For example, I have this section:17. Amalgamation or transfer of assets and liabilities or division of multi-State co-operative societiesAt the moment, when the text wraps, I get:17. Amalgamation or transfer of assets and liabilities or division of multi-State co-operative societiesWhat I want is for the “o” in “operative” to start directly underneath the “A” in “Amalgamation”, like this:17. Amalgamation or transfer of assets and liabilities or division of multi-State co-      operative societiesMy current Paragraph settings are:Left Indent: 3p0 First Line Indent: 0p0I have also attached a screenshot showing my Paragraph panel.Could someone please explain what setting I need to change to make the wrapped line start exactly at exactly below of “Amalgamation”?I'm not trying to change the font or spacing between the words — I only want the wrapped line to align with the first
