Is it possible to write a script so that when run on a selected frame, it resizes the width only (keeping the left of the frame where it is) to the right edge of the column the frame is currently in?  If it's not possible I would still be interested on the same thing where there's only a single column in the doc.  Thanks.     

Hello,  I have this script which a user can select and image in Indesign and it will via Photoshop convert that image to PSD and save it to a particular output. When I run it it works, however I am not a scripter so any feedback or if you think that there are problems which could corrupt images etc please can you let me know. I am bit parnoid becuase an easlier verion resulted in class not registerd. The older version was using a windows batch code snippet to move files  - it was to overcome any permissions issues which on an inital script had encounted.  The result was very bad  - if I had tested an image all other files in that location when in file explorer hitting open would prompt the below error.   The reason why there was origionally windows bat code was that a temp out file was made and moved to the wanted to location. This was becuase I used to get windows permission errors when photoshop itself was outputting the file. Which I

Hi, I intended to fit the table to the pages in the InDesign document. In spite of this, it exceeds that particular page. I have attached the same document and the script I used to fit the table.   https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/166t-M93Jjm4Dpmp3IWo8Zc6u1kKDiXPN?usp=sharing

Hi everyone, I’m having trouble with InDesign crashing every time I try to export a file to PDF. The document isn’t too large, and I’ve already tried restarting the app and my computer, but it still crashes. Are there any specific settings or troubleshooting steps I should check? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have one large ebook with sections (chapters). I would like to extract these sections (chapters) as separate ebooks. I want the pages in such a partial ebook to be automatically numbered starting from 1.What is the simplest way to do this? I was considering making a copy of the file and deleting all the pages that are not part of the current chapter, but maybe there is a better way? I need this Complex file to be a source of truth, as I plan to introduce changes to it and re-generate these separate one-unit ebooks from it. Sub ebooks don't need to have Table of contents. I could almost use exporting specific pages to PDF, but I have automatic numbering that should start from 1 in every sub-ebook.

Apologies for a question that has been asked and answered thousands of times, but I've spent 40 minutes trying to find the answer without success. I'm afraid I've always found ID's text flow procedure incredibly unintuitive. I use InDesign to do book covers. I almost never use it for its main purpose, paging books or magazines. Whenever I do, I invariably end up either a) flowing text only into the verso pages of the spreads, or b) flowing it (after the first page or two), not into the master page text frame, but into the "primary text frame" that's made out of the page margins.Relevant screen grabs:The document doesn't have "Primary Text Frame" checked.The master page, both verso and recto, is set up with text boxes that make a primary text flow.I start with one recto page. I place text, holding the shift key to add necessary pages for the text. Pages are added, but they flow only into the left side.I start again, this time (cannily) with three pages.I place text only into the text bo

I'm so frustrated with this new Hide/Show spreads settings, but I can work around that. But, I work on a laptop so I keep my palettes small. But now I can't delete a page because the data in the bottom bar covers up the Trash icon. Does anyone know how to change this?  Here's a screen grab... 

(I moved this out of the Acrobat over here to InDesign, where this sort of thing is relevant) It appears that Acrobat > Preferences > Advanced Security (I meant to write "Security Enhanced") conflicts with synchronizing Color Management, or in other words the CSF color settings file coming from Photoshop/Bridge. What is the trick to getting security but allowing synchronized color management?

Hi there, A user of a PDF I exported from InDesign has reported issues with not being able to search (in Acrobat) for certain text strings. Looking at the PDF, I can reproduce the issue. It turns out there are extra whitespace characters in the PDF that aren't visible but prevent text searches from working. Cut & paste from the PDF into a text editor reveals these extra characters. Here's a screenshot of a minimal test case I created. This shows:The PDF open in Acrobat.A (non case sensitive) search for "shield" only showing one result, where two instances of the word are clearly visible in the PDF.The result of cutting & pasting the complete PDF text into a text editor. Note the extra newline in the first instance of "Shield". It seems this is what prevents search from finding that instance of the word.  It seems the issue is somehow related to the font. Alverata with OpenType All Small Caps seems to cause the issue in this case. (I have seen similar is

Hello, hope someone can help me.I have to "clean up" an old document that was converted many years ago from QuarkXpress to Indesign.Multiple people have worked in it, also through Incopy and also copy pasted from Word.

Hello:How can I make an invisible table of content?

I would like to ask for advice regarding the phenomenon in which the thumbnail of the two images below appears broken. If you click the Query button and then click the mouse on the document or panel before all thumbnails are displayed, the thumbnail image will be broken. How to solve this? 

in the old indesign cs, footnotes normally stick to the bottom of the tex frame despite a text wrapped object around it. in the current indesign, footnotes are affected by text wraps. is there any setting to have the footnotes ignore any text wrap and remain at the bottom of the text box?
