InDesign

Any idea when the fix for the flyout boxes is going to be fixed? It has been months now and still not working.

I have several images in the same folder that need to be relinked. When I relink a file, InDesign doesn't see all the other missing files in that folder, even though I have checked "Seach for missing links in this folder". Am I doing something wrong?

Ciao a tutti,sto lavorando su un documento creato a partire da uno esistente che mi è stato fornito.Il file originale conteneva dei collegamenti a immagini esterne che, nel mio documento finale, non devono essere presenti. Nonostante abbia rimosso le immagini dalla pagina, non riesco a eliminare definitivamente i relativi collegamenti.Di conseguenza, ad ogni apertura del file mi compare l’avviso “collegamenti a sorgenti mancanti” e nel pannello Collegamenti vedo ancora le anteprime con il punto interrogativo rosso, che vorrei eliminare completamente.Inoltre, se clicco su “Vai al collegamento” non mi porta a nessun punto del documento e non riesco a trovare un modo per eliminarlo definitivamente: l’unica opzione che sembra disponibile è quella di riassociarlo a un’altra immagine.Qualcuno sa indicarmi come rimuovere in modo definitivo questi collegamenti mancanti dal file?Grazie in anticipo!

I created a publication based on a previous one. It's in a new folder with the default [fonts] and [lins] subfolders. Preflight shows no linking errors. Since there are numerous unused graphics in the link folder (from the old version), I wish to create a new package before sending to production. I get the above error with no explanation. How do I do this without manually copying every link (70) and font (46)?This is CS3 on Vista Home Premium.

I'm having a really frustrating issue. I am trying to export an interactive .pdf, but when I do there is some color conversion going on. Normally I would mess with the color settings in the export dialog, but the interactive .pdf export dialogue box has no color conversion settings (presumably this means that there is no color conversion going on when exporting this type of .pdf), however when I open the .pdf several of my colors are very obviously and significantly changed. Many of the colors look like they are approximating the "out of gamut" CMYK color coversions of my RGB color swatches - but I don't know why it would bother doing this for an interactive .pdf (which is presumed to be for digital use). Any ideas? I found this thread that seemed to have a similar issue, but the proposed "correct answers" have yielded no results for me. Changing the color settings changes how they appear in the document to me, but the colors are still changing once exported. Here you can see

"Hi everyone,I recently switched to a new MacBook and I am trying to set up my workflow. I have several ongoing projects that were created using InDesign 2024 (version 19.x).To ensure the layout and formatting of these existing files remain perfectly intact, I do not want to convert them to the latest version of InDesign at this stage. I specifically need to install the 2024 version on my new machine to continue working on these files.However, when I check the 'Other Versions' section in the Creative Cloud Desktop app, the 2024 version is not listed or available for download. I have searched through various Adobe help pages but haven't found a direct download link or a way to make it appear in the app.Could someone please guide me on how to access and install InDesign 2024 on a new macOS system?Thank you in advance for your help!"

Indesign 21.3 / OS Tahoe 26.3.1 / Synology servermounting Synology server using SMB protocolLately, I & my teammates have been having an issue where Indesign is dropping its links to the server. Can’t save the file either. Close out of ID file and the server partitions are still mounted and I can navigate them. However, cannot work off the server. ID will open the file again, but links are missing. Closing the file does not remove the ID lock file either. Have to manually eject the partitions and remount the drive. Our IT team (outsourced) tends to be PC people and think that Adobe apps can be overly sensitive to network conditions. We’re on a very fast server & switch. They think moving back to AFP protocol may help. Anyone have experience with this issue? Please don’t say work locally. In 2026 that’s possibly the worst thing anyone can say. :D 

Fonts activated in Adobe Fonts are not visible in Adobe applications, in particular In In Design. At the same time, I have a subscription for fonts, but they don't even appear in the Cloud Desktop list so that I can sync them.How to overcome this problem?

Hi, I am working on my exam (due may 7th) when exporting to interactive pdf my buttons are working but none of my animations work ? Can anyone help me out ? I have attached my indesign file and the exported pdf. Thank you so much, Kristof

I can’t believe this is happening again. We really should get some sort of discount or refund for all the time we’re wasting lately with this issue.After being solved, this problem shows up again with the last update. I suddenly lose all UNDO steps, past the last four or five, just like what happened a few months ago.If the problem is related with the History panel, JUST DISABLE THE HISTORY PANEL. We didn’t have this issue before the panel, so I guess it has something to do with it. 

The latest version on InDesign was not working on our Windows 11 systems: it either wouldn’t launch or when using it, text will disappear in text boxes (even though it is still there) and the Undo action only performs one or two undos. Uninstalled and went back to InDesign version 20.5.1 which appeared to work fine until today: now I am having the same undo problem. Tested in a brand new document.It should be noted that coworkers with Macs are not having this issue.I saw a previous post that said this could be fixed by unchecking the GPU option in preferences, but that is NOT checked in mine (it is greyed out because it says it does not detect a compatible device).It is almost impossible to work knowing you only have one undo, please advise how to fix this!

Hi, CS3(5.0.2.640) Windows sp2 I've written about this before, thought it was solved, but it isn't. I inserted grouped images into a numbered list, and anchored them according to instructions; first making place for the group by adding a few plain lines under the numbered item where I wanted the group, then inserting the group, then cutting it, placing the insertion point in the place I wanted the group to appear, pasting the group back, and voila...lovely anchored group. However, I've come to the conclusion that if I do that, I'd better realize it's FOREVER, because I can't seem to extricate parts of the group in case I want to change their order. InDesign Help says to go to Object > Anchored Object > Release but my 'release' is GREYED OUT! Why? and nothing else that I've tried, works. Could it be, that there is a frame around the entire page? I tried to delete that frame but when I try to, everything on the page isdeleted, and when I try to move that frame away, everything

Problem:In the MathType application, we are facing font rendering issues with the division symbol (÷). Please refer to the attached screenshot for reference.We have investigated this issue in Adobe InDesign 2026 using the current MathType version 7.1.We observed that when the division symbol is used with the Euclid symbol font, it does not render correctly in certain cases. The symbol appears broken, misaligned, or inconsistent in the output PDF generated from InDesign.However, the same issue is not consistently seen when the division symbol is used along with other mathematical operators or functions such as plus (+), minus (−), or integral (∫). In those cases, the rendering appears correct within the same document.This indicates that the issue is specifically related to the Euclid symbol font handling for the division character in certain contexts within MathType EPS output when processed in InDesign. Please refer the below screenshot

Can I recover my old forum account under the name David W Goodrich? Over the decades I've contributed useful information on various technical issues -- CJK, footnotes, metadata -- but now my attempts to login usually get ignored; occasionally I see a message saying the account was deleted or banned.  To my knowledge neither is true, and even if they were I believe Adobe was supposed to send an e-mail explanation, which I have not received.  After long discussion on-line Adobe's general help told me to create a new Community account with a different e-mail to log in and ask the Community -- and I cannot use my old name.  Can someone help me?David W.

I’ve seen this problem mentioned in the InDesign Community a few times in the past, but has anyone recently had problems with Share for Review comments unmapping from their pins? 

I’ve been having major issues with InDesign locking up ever since this update. It doesn’t crash so it doesn’t send a report either. At least two times every day, I need to either force quit the app or restart. It is very frustrating!

Hi everyone.I posted a thread on the Photoshop forum about the discrepancy between displayed dimensions and actual dimensions.I always thought that the print dimensions in Photoshop were the actual dimensions, but that’s not the case.I’ve found that Illustrator (ID) has the same issue.For example, in the image below, the ruler in ID shows a width of 100 mm. When I set the zoom to “Actual Size,” the bottom-left corner shows 100% zoom, but when I measure the screen with a ruler, I find that the corresponding width on my physical ruler is 11.5 mm. When I set the zoom level in the bottom-left corner to 88%, the image measures 100 mm in width on the screen. This might be significant. For example, could actual size have an impact on “perceived design”? I suspect this has to do with my monitor’s resolution.So, is there a way to make the width on the computer match the actual physical width? 

I obtained the caret (text cursor) position inside a text frame using ITextCaret::GetCaretBounds(). According to the documentation, this position is based on the pasteboard coordinate system.How can I convert this pasteboard coordinate to a screen coordinate?

Since this post seems to be marked as resolved after the Adobe Community update and it isn’t resolved, I’m creating a new post and linking to the old one. All the relevant information can be found here (at least all of the information that survived the Adobe Community update -- there are several missing posts). Long story short -- when you install Windows Security updates, some system fonts -- Times New Roman for me -- throw a missing font error in InDesign. This error only goes away if you uninstall the Windows Security update. More detailed info can be found in the linked post.This issue has been going on for literally months, since last November, and we’ve got bupkis to show for it -- less than bupkis now that some of the original posts have been nerfed with the Adobe Community update and the original thread appears dead. Adobe. Please. Help. This is beyond frustrating now... 

When using the Data Merge feature in InDesign, I am encountering an issue where the content from my second document (B), which I am trying to data merge into my main document (A), gets repeated multiple times. Specifically, the merged data appears like 'aaaaaaaaab1aaaaaaaaab2' and continues in this pattern for all records of document B. This results in an excessive number of pages—up to 1000 pages. How can I resolve this issue so that the data merges correctly, without unnecessary repetition, and I can achieve the intended layout?

I’m having two issues using Peter Kahrel’s sidenote script:The sidenote_reference style is not being applied to the superscript footnote numbers in the text The sidenotes are retaining overrides. I can remove these randomly, but can’t figure out how to avoid having any overrides.Both issues are visible in this screenshot: Note that the superscript footnote marker has successfully been replaced by the Sidenote anchor+number, but the style has not been applied. The sidenote itself is showing the blue ‘Style Overrde Highlighter,’ showing that an override has been applied The text is imported from an rtf file, and the footnotes appear to import correctly. My Footnote Options are set to the most basic defaults. Has anyone else encountered this? How can I fix this, without manually applying the style to every reference?Indesign 2025, running on a Mac, using latest version of sidenotes.

I wrote a newspaper column using Pagemaker for several years. I cannot access the ones written before 1996. I am hoping to convert the columns into a blog but can’t access the text.I have tried using Indesign but the files are not recognized. I tried opening with Word, but each column (roughly 1000 words each) is roughly 400 pages long as it is filled with formatting detritis.Any suggestions?

I have a bunch of images I’m placing, and doing so by entering file names.When I search, InDesign ignores my OS settings (Mac) and searches my whole drive.Not a huge deal because I’m working from a files that are found easily, but is there a way to limit the search to the last folder from which something was places, perhaps unless otherwise navigated?thanks
