InDesign

All my tools, except Text tool, are locked (greyed out) - what have I done?I've uninstalled and reinstalled without luck... 

I have a work related InDesign document that is required to save all comments and responses made. My method of recieving these comments is done by creating a shareable link and having my shareholders place their comments through creative cloud. This is the method that I need to be using but I can't find any way to save and archive these comments. Attached is a photo of the review thread that I would like to save. Any suggestions?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi everyone,    Any idea why the document footnotes, with a given set of rules and using the same Text Frame Options across all pages, are so wildly different on each page?        <Title renamed by MOD>  

Does anyone know if Adobe InDesign will ever get a Dimensioning Tool like the one Illustrator has?Thanks,   Ben   <Title renamed by MOD>

I've always wished InDesign included native scaling and measuring like Corel Draw does. Here's an example:In Corel Draw its easy to change your scale using this drawing scale window. That then allows you to measure things within your document according to the scale. The measure tool actually places measurements as well. Its a really handy feature that I've never seen in InDesign, or any Adobe publishing / vector graphics editing program. I'm wondering if something like this will ever be available in an Adobe product?

Ola.Existe algum lugar onde comprar licença oficial para o Indesign CC 2019, já que a Adobe não vende mais?Não tenho interesse em planos de assinatura da Adobe. Desde já agradeço.

Hi,   I have a file that fails to export to pdf. It says an error on page 14 made it fail, I export up to page 13 fine. I then delete page 14 and try to export only for it to fail again on the new blank page 14. I then delete that page and suddenly page 13 (which was fine before) is not what causes it to fail?     <Title renamed by MOD>

How do I import just one Photoshop artboard into Indesign? ... whenever I import, they all come and I have to manually adjust them

Hello.   I am attempting to generate an interactive PDF in InDesign that would have drop down menus with three (3) values; 1, 2 and 3. The numbers would each have an assigned color to them, ie 1 = yellow, 2 = orange and 3 = red. So when the user selected the number two from the drop down menu, it would display yellow but it a number 3 was selected, it would display as red. Is this possible?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hey, everybody!I'm preparing a booklet for printing. The booklet has a photo of a girl in PSD format with transparent background. I have added this image as a link in the layout on top of a brown coloured frame, I want the girl's hand to be on top of the frame. But when I export the PDF for printing (PDF/X-1a:2001), the part of the frame that is covered by the girl's hand becomes white. I'm using the latest version of InDesign. Why is this happening? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance     <Title renamed by MOD>

Como faço para importar somente um artboard do photoshop no indesign?... sempre que importo vem todos e tenho que ficar ajustando manualmente

Had to erase my hard disk and reinstall Creative Cloud. I need to InDesign CC 2018 because that's what my team is still using, but when I looked for older versions of InDesign to install, all I see are 2017 and 2015 versions. Is there a link to Indesign CC 2018?

Seit dem Update auf InDesign 20.0 kann ich keine Tabulatoren mehr einstellen.Hat jemand eine Hilfe?

I am using a macbook air (m3) with mac OS 14.6 and InDesign 2025.    I have laid out a long novel as a ID 'book'. It has 6 separate .indd files for the six sections of the book and one .indb file that stiches them all together as a book. The book has been edited and now I want to make a clean copy of the whole thing to a new folder and do the editorial corrections in that new version. That way, I will have the original pre-edit book and a new seperate edited book.   I tried just copying all seven files to a new folder, and giving them all new file names, but found that when I double-clicked the new .indb file, the book panel showed all the old names and any correction I made, were being made to the old files in the old folder.   How can I make a clean copy of the whole book, so I can keep the pre-edit and post-edit versions separate?     <Title renamed by MOD>

I'm not pleased with EPUBs created by exporting from InDesign. My justified text comes out ragged right. And when I switch from Roman to italic or boldface type the type gets scrunched.   I haven't taken a coding class in over 20-25 years and I haven't done any coding work in that time as print book design has kept me occupied. So my question is: Is there a book--I much prefer book tutorials than videos--that provides in depth, step-by-step instruction on how to refine these EPUBs to maintain much more of the polished look of the InDesign files?   Thank you.   Steve Tiano     <Title renamed by MOD>

Italic type and boldface type gets scrunched (especially when there is punctuation) when I export to EPUB from InDesign. Any fixes that don't involve going under the hood into CSS and coding?   Thank you.   <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi. I don't know if this is possible, but I need to design 100x individual wedding bingo cards. I've been given 45 phrases and my customer wants me to randomise the phrases across the 100 cards so that they are all different. They've asked for a specific design for the background of the bingo cards, with some text and colours specific to their wedding. I have an Indesign template ready to input the text but I don't really want to do this 100 times. Does anyone know if this is possible, even if it's not in Indesign but another programme? Thanks 

I can't install the trial because my computer doesn't meet requirements. I can't start the trial, so can I use the trial later after I upgrade my computer or is this it? Is there a way to cancel the trial so I can actually use it later?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Ich arbeite sehr gerne mit einem transluzenten Look, wie beispielsweise der Milchglasoptik. Aktuell nutze ich dafür Photoshop, würde mir jedoch wünschen, dass eine Weichzeichnungsoption direkt in InDesign verfügbar wäre. Dies würde es erleichtern, bei bestimmten Designs auf Schlagschatten oder äußere Schein-Effekte zu verzichten und stattdessen weichgezeichnete Flächen zu verwenden, was neue gestalterische Möglichkeiten eröffnen würde. Eine solche Funktion könnte den Workflow vereinfachen und die Kreativität direkt in InDesign unterstützen.I really like working with a translucent look, such as the frosted glass look. I currently use Photoshop for this, but I would like to see a blur option available directly in InDesign. This would make it easier to avoid the use of drop shadows or external glow effects in certain designs and instead use blurred areas, which would open up new creative possibilities. Such a function could simplify the workflow and support creativity directly in InDesign

I've made sure that text wrapping is off, I've looked at the ojbect styles and made sure that's alright, I've looked at character and paragraph styles, and I am absolutely flabbergasted at why I continue to see that thick, black box around my endnotes and why the start of each endnote is blue (including, per the screenshot, a continuation of an endnote from one page to the next).  I've looked around these forums to no avail (that's why I knew to try some of the things mentioned above). I didn't have this problem with my endnotes until recently. This is part of a series of booklets, so I usually copy/paste the old indesign file into the new booklet's folder and then start formatting on the copied file, so the settings haven't changed, so this is a new thing in my files. I'm on Indesign 19.5, in the US (if that matters), and I don't know a whole ton about this being self-taught and Google Search taught. I'll take any help I can get. I'm dying here. Please and thank you.

Amigos,A minha pergunta é relacionada com Sumários e Índices nos livros.Além do «Sumário» [barra de menu layout - sumario, etc.], em muitas obras que pagino preciso fazer um «Índice Remissivo», ou Onomástico, etc., e tento usar a ferramenta [Janela - Tipo e Tabelas - Indice], mas não entendo como funciona. Para mim foi sempre um problema no INDD a questão dos Índices: as entradas do índice são fornecidas pelo editor/autor (num documento .doc), depois insiro um marcador nesse termo/nome que corresponde à entrada de índice, mas o número de página a que corresponde essa entrada não aparece quando se executa «gerar índice». E também não consigo importar os tópicos para dentro do documento.Quem conseguir ajudar, por favor, publique o que souber.Muito grataMargarida Diogo  

There has been a low-level technical change in the way InDesign v20 (2025) exports images in reflowable EPUB. If this change was documented, I didn't see it (and, unfortunately, it would be an exception; Adobe has not documented any of the changes to EPUB export in the last several releases).   The change affects only those who use CSS re/styling on reflowable EPUB. Images are no longer exported as div model (e.g. an Object Style of PICTURE has heretofore been exported with style code under div.PICTURE), but under figure (figure.PICTURE). So if you have any existing projects that use the div style reference, you'll need to review the default CSS component of the EPUB and adjust your custom styles to match.   AFAICT, nothing else has changed, just the technical grouping of these style definitions. The most obvious result will be that any existing code that modifies images in your EPUB project will stop working, even if you update the style elements... unless you remap it to fi
