InDesign

I tried clicking the left mouse button repeatedly, but that didn’t seem to work.It seems that only double-clicking to select a word or triple-clicking to select an entire line works.However, when adjusting a specific column or page, it can also be useful to select the text in the current column or on the current page. 

I’ve designed two reflowable ePubs in the last 48 hours with same image alignment error. I design them all of the time, so it’s not me. Images are not center aligned though I’ve selected align center layout and even manually added object export custom alignment center to the image with same result of left alignment. Please advise. Thank you.

Hi everyone,I'm having trouble opening an InDesign document and keep getting the loading circle (‘the wheel of doom’) for an extended period, with the file never opening.So far, I have:Updated InDesign to the latest version (v21.5) Restarted my MacBook Tried re-opening the file directly from OneDrive Downloaded a fresh copy to my desktop Tried opening the backup files, but they are experiencing the same issueUnfortunately, none of these steps have resolved the problem 😣I'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions on what else I could try. The project deadline is at the end of this month, and I'm becoming increasingly worried that I may have lost months of work!!Thank you in advance for any help! 😊

InDesign was working fine last night. This morning, when I tried to export a PDF, it became unresponsive. I Forced Quit and tried again. After this second try, after it loads, I get only a grey screen and am unable to even access preferences. On top of that, it seems to be using significant energy. I tried uninstalling and installing other versions, to no avail. 

Hi everybody,I recently had an issue in InDesign that prevented me from exporting my document.Every time I tried to export it would come up with an error message saying '’Possible cause of failure is present on spread with page number 24’ We tried deleting the spread and then the same error message would pop up but with a different page number ''Possible cause of failure is present on spread with page number 9'’ and it kept moving. All the links were working, and we have used this template hundreds of times and never had any issues.My colleague seems to think it could be due to slow internet and the document was having trouble finding the files to export. Could this be the case?Any suggestions are appreciated as this caused us to miss a tender submission deadline and we really don't want it happening again.Thank you 

I have currently selected multiple images, and I want to use a script to generate captions. After generating static captions, automatically select the captions as the operating objects.In the future, I will make other adjustments to the captions.  

I was attempting to do some basic tasks with Flex Layout in InDesign PC. After about a half-dozen things were tried InDesign completely froze, the process had to be stopped and the program re-launched. This is 100% repeatable behavior, whether with an existing file open or with a new file open. Everything else with ID is fine, just whenever I try to use Flex.I can work around this by never using it (I never did before), but since there’s a risk of document corruption when I force-close I.D. I’m wondering what’s going on.

Dear friends,Indesign won't start on my Windows 10 machine with no error messages popping up.I tried installing versions 14 and 13 and tested them in Windows 8,7 and Vista compatibility modes. The result is the same: the program loading process initiates, checks modules etc, then it ends abruptly with no error message.What can I do? Many thanks.Here is the log from the Event Viewer:Faulting application name: InDesign.exe, version: 12.1.0.56, time stamp: 0x58c988ecFaulting module name: PlugPlugOwl.dll, version: 7.0.0.95, time stamp: 0x58b6f48bException code: 0xc0000005Fault offset: 0x0000000000019d63Faulting process id: 0x5364Faulting application start time: 0x01d4820975d398a0Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC 2017\InDesign.exeFaulting module path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC 2017\PlugPlugOwl.dllReport Id: 6d358c6a-ff4a-4b01-b103-9cf3e77fe681Faulting package full name:Faulting package-relative application ID:

I have been trying to generate styles using scripts for a long time.Suddenly realizing that this is a thankless task.Perhaps importing styles can be easily implemented. If my script is located at: ../scripts/myScript/aa.jsxMy style file can be found at: ./scripts/styles/myStyle.inddIs there a script that can import all style structures (including group names) with one click?One click import of all, no need to select.

I used InDesign professionally, every day of my life, from v.1 through 2014. I've gotten out of design and print production, but have kept an old copy for random use and access to my old files. Just last month I upgraded to an Apple Silicon Mac, and so got the latest Creative Cloud apps.    I'm finding the current InDesign SUPER annoying to use. When I try to grab certain elements, particularly picture boxes, it seems to be completely random if the cursor grabs the frame or the content. I'm always using the top arrow (item selection tool). This used to be enough to guarantee that I'd grab the whole item and not the enclosed image. But no longer.    Is there a setting that can restore the old (logical) behavior? Has Adobe's UX team, in its cruel efficiency at tormenting its users, added an arbitrary step here? Please help.    <Title renamed by moderator>

After the most recent update I had to create a document using assets from older indesign files that previously never gave any issues. Now the dropshadows from multiple (different objects) move all over the place (away from the object as if theres a fixed lightsource) when I move these objects. When I turn off the dropshadow of the object, move the object and then turn the shadow back on it will have the shadow in it's correct position. When I move the object around multiple times it will start glitching the entire page until I move my cursor over it again. When I change the path of the object the displaced shadow will snap back into it's correct position, making me think this is a graphical display issue.  In the example below you can see how the dropshadows moved. (left one moved up when moving the object down and to the left. Right one stayed closer to it's original position but offset, middle is the original position before copying and moving).  i'm working on a

InDesign will not work on my Macbook but works ok on my imac. Illustrator and Photoshop work fine. InDesign won't load. I've deleted the preferences.

Hello,I am a professional graphic designer and I use Adobe InDesign all day, every day, for client work.Immediately after installing the macOS 27 Golden Gate Public Beta, InDesign became almost unusable.The problem is intermittent. InDesign can work normally for a while, then suddenly freeze. It seems to happen most often when I am editing text or changing fonts, although I cannot reproduce it consistently.When this happens:Save becomes disabled (greyed out). Save As becomes disabled. Close becomes disabled. I cannot save my work. I cannot close the document. The only solution is to Force Quit InDesign, which causes me to lose hours of work.This happens with multiple InDesign documents, not just one file.I have already:Updated InDesign to the latest version. Tested a previous version of InDesign. Restarted my Mac many times.The issue started immediately after installing the macOS 27 Golden Gate Public Beta.Has anyone else experienced this issue?Can Adobe confirm whether this is a known

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

Since updating to the 2026 version, InDesign has been working slower and slower for me, primarily on my iMac. Launching the app takes almost two minutes, the spinning wheel appears roughly every 30 seconds and lasts for up to a minute, and it’s become impossible to. I’ve restarted, updated, and cleared my iMac, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and nothing seems to help. Is there something I’m missing?

I’ve been experimenting with the Beta version, and just found that I can’t copy a Column Break symbol from the release version and paste into the Beta version. I don’t know if other break symbols (or other symbols/markers) are affected.Also, I had to enable what’s shown below to allow styles to remain present from the release version into the Beta: Any thoughts?thanks

Bonjour à vous tous, J’ai crée un document indesign qui s’apparente à un CV Français (selon moi “indesign” le plus adapté pour le balisage) en séparant les contenus, texte (j’ai ouvert les fenêtres autant de fois que nécessaire, afin d’éviter les espaces blanc qui perturbent l’ats)/ Photo d’identité / et logo puces avec plusieurs calques afin de créer une lisibilité et une cohérence, surtout éviter les bug de lecture ATS dû à la photo les éléments décoratifs logo puce.Ma question est la suivante dois-je obligatoirement utiliser les styles de paragraphe comme indiqué sur les tutos google pour le balisage (il me semble que l’ATS se fiche du style de texte non o.0 pourvu qu’on détermine un ordre de lecture, avec article et qu’on met en berne photo/puces/ bloc d’éléments décoratifs non??) j’ai pu observer plusieurs fonctionnalités fenêtres - structure - balise et évidement le panneau article pour inscrire une cohérence ?? Quelle la méthode de balisage la plus “friendly” pour les ATS ?? Je

One of the affected spreads. The blank column does not appear when images are pasted over it. I need to know how to remove this. I created an idml version - no difference.

Bonjour Adobe,Je souhaite signaler un problème que nous avons rencontré avec InDesign 25 concernant la Fusion de données.Depuis la mise à jour, il est impossible de charger une source de données (.txt). Dès la sélection du fichier, InDesign affiche le message :« La source de données sélectionnée contient un ou plusieurs noms de champs vides. »Après de nombreux tests, nous pouvons confirmer que le problème ne vient pas des fichiers de données :test avec plusieurs fichiers .txt, y compris un fichier minimal (nom / Test) ; test avec plusieurs documents InDesign ; réinitialisation des préférences ; réinstallation complète d'InDesign.Nous avons également comparé plusieurs configurations :InDesign 25 : le problème est reproductible. Version précédente d'InDesign : les mêmes fichiers fonctionnent immédiatement. Tests réalisés sur Windows et macOS, avec le même constat.La seule solution que nous avons trouvée est de revenir à la version précédente d'InDesign.Pouvez-vous vérifier s'il s'agit d'

When I set narrow bullet indents, the second line always goes wonky and pushed far out. When I set it to higher values, they align nicely.Font is Georgia 6pts, with 7.2pt leading. When I choose any larger font size than 6, it also works. I have:No paragraph styles activated No cell styles activated No tab styles activatedI’d appreciate any advice on how to fix this. Thanks for your time.__________________________________ *I realized first line indent is not what I want either, so as you can see below, even with small tab position, the 2nd line gets pushed out:
