InDesign

When I open an InDesign file, it is locked into just one monitor and will not allow me to move it to another screen like my other Adobe programs. Does anyone know why it does this?     <Title renamed by MOD>

I have just exported an indesign document to a pdf and it is 60MB. I would like it to be around 30MB if that is possible. Will I be able to reduce it down from indesign without drastically reducing the quality or is there a way to do iy after it becomes a pdf?***** Title renamed by Moderator "VS" *****

Hey everyone! I purchased a font that uses bitmap images instead of vectors. I'm having trouble getting it work on my Windows 10 machine. It works fine on my Mac. Basically the characters show up blank (see attached). Any ideas what causes this? I reached out to the seller and they don't know why this is happening. I've tried on different PCs, same results.      <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi,   I debut on InDesign and bit confused about printing pdf. Let me explain : I export normally (default settings) of my book in pdf. Now I open it in iPAD, so in VERTICAL I see one page, but in HORIZONTAL i should see 2 pages in spread, is that correct ? Because in HORIZONTAL with the iPAD I still see only one page.      <Title renamed by MOD>

After Publishing my InDesign document and making it password protected, the file looks corrupted (Just showing some polygons and shapes) when viewing it online.When I remove password protection, it is completely fixed. I am using the same link every time. I cant change the link because it is corporate.   <Title renamed by MOD>

habe seit einiger Zeit das Problem, dass ich beim Anlegen eines neuen Dokuments das 2. Feld für "Höhe" nicht mehr ausfüllen kann. Nach dem Eintragen eines Werts im 1. Feld für "Breite" hängt das "Höhe"-Feld und ein Übertippen ist nicht möglich.Auch wenn man es schafft, den darin enthaltenen ausgegrauten Wert zu löschen, bekommt man ein leeres Feld, in welches dann aber nichts getippt werden kann. U.U. kommt dann eine "ungültiger Wert"– Warnmeldung, und erst danach lässt sich die Höhe eintragen. Sehr lästig!

Hi everyone! we have thousands of INDD files on our servers and mostly export PDF from these INDD files to a hotfolder on a shared network drive. So if you hit cmd+E for export, the hotfolder path is the selected output folder, since it was last exported there. In the near future we will stop using this hotfolder and we rather want to export the PDF to the folder where the INDD file is saved at. Since we are using a multiple layer directory tree on our server it takes up a lot of time to change the output path to this folder manually - especially if it has to be done for every file. Does anybody have an idea how we can speed up the process or change the saved export location? Some keyboard shortcuts (macOS) may also help, but i dont know of any to jump to the folder where the INDD file is saved at (besides cmd+shift+G), because the INDD files are all in different file locations, the path you'd have to enter will always vary. 

The new AI "Text to Image" tool is great but isnt useful if I cannot have control of the images. I need to ensure specific color profiles are used for print and am unable to create print files if links are "missing." Will this option be fixed?

I made a file 1 month ago in ID 2024, now I want to copy a textbox from it to a new document, made in ID 2025. I cannot do it, it becomes a pixel image. I tried to copy only the text, than it appears in the new file like normal text, it looses al the settings and fonts.  It is a big problem.     <Title renamed by MOD>

My coworkers all use 350dpi jpg. They find jpg convenient because the client's files are jpg. And I'm used to using 350dpi tif, I think tif is safe and the fine print is richer. They all suggest me to use jpg format now.

it works when copy paste a text box within the same page, but when i paste the text box to other pages, it becomes an image inside a image box.anyone know why?

Hello — I don't normally use Anchored Objects, but decided to try them out on a current project, and ran into a strange issue. When I select a text box or image in my layout and then go to the Object menu, my Anchored Object panel is grayed out. I've attached an image to show what I mean (AnchoredObjectMenu.png). Also, when I click on a text box or on an image in InDesign (in any document I've created) the text box and image frame seem to be missing certain features. Again, I've attached images that hopefully show what I mean: The attached images "MyTextBox.png" and "MyImageBox.png" show how my frames look. In the attached images "ExampleTextBox.png" and "ExampleImageBox.png", I've circled in red the features that are missing for me when I create a text box or image frame. I'm guessing that these missing features are related to my Anchored Object menu being grayed out. Does anyone know what's going on here or how I can fix it? FYI: I'm using InDesign 17.4.

For years now I've used this script to create photo albums, but lately have been having problems with it on two of my three computers. Here's how it works.  Run the script - point it to a directory and it will create a csv file with a list of images in that directory. But the images are out of order in the csv file, so I open it in Open office, sort the rows A-Z, save and close. Then go to the data merge menu in ID, select that csv file as the data source, and ID will create a page for each image, giving me a photo album that I then save as a PDF or ebook.  Problem is, I'm starting to get this error, and can't figure it out. The Data Merge stops, and I get an error sayiing "data missing or some rows are empty". But on one computer it still works. No idea why that one works and the others don't. But I need to find a solution.  Does anyone else use this? Any ideas on what's causing that error? ID 2024 and ID 2025 give the same error. 

I am a habitual user of the Quick Apply feature and think it's one of the most powerful efficiency features in InDesign. I use Quick Apply for only paragraph styles, character styles, and scripts, so I disable all of the other options available in the Quick Apply panel preferences to reduce clutter: I am also subject to a workflow and tools which regularly require me to enable/disable InDesign plugins. I have found that modifying the plugin folders in any way or clearing caches/saved state settings, etc. resets those Quick Apply panel preferences. Maybe a minor gripe, but having to check/uncheck those options over and over again takes away so much of the quickness of the Quick Apply! Does anybody know of any way to quickly reapply the Quick Apply prefrence settings? Possibly a script? I've seen no method for targeting Quick Apply via script, but maybe I just don't know what to look for. Or even a method to make my prefences stick more permanently? I would have thoug

I would start by saying I am very new to the Adobe ecosystem and I'm not sure where to be asking this question.  My 14 year old daughter has a little tshirt business.  We have built a website & have doens of categories that each have 50-100 different graphics.  We have 7 colours of garments & 5 different garments.We are looking to take the graphic & apply it to the 35 different combinations of colours & garments and then repeat that process across 4,000 graphics.   Kind of something like this.  We are trying to figure out if there is a way to automate this & are struggling with it.  Hoping for some advice/direction.     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hello,Can anyone help me with the following questions.1) I have a file made in InDesign and want to save as PDF. I choose one of the presettings (PDF/X-1a:2001) but it won't process. It gets stuck at 4% and will not progress.  2) I can export the InDesign file to a (interactive) PDF file, but the PDF created can not be printed. I checked if i could print the InDesign file, that works fine. So I think the problem is caused by converting to any form of PDF file.. Anyone familiar with this? Thaks for your help in advance.Greets Chantal      <Title renamed by MOD>

Hello!Every time I go to make an edit a text box in Indesign a little panel pops up attached to my cursor to give me options like "Caps, superscript, etc". I dont need it and becuase it wont go away I have to input twice to add my text and get it to disappear. I have to keep doing it with every text box.Is there a way of turning off this selection? Thanks

By flat, I mean :Vector content is rasterized to pixelsAll layers on the page are flattened to oneAnything outside the visible canvas is cropped off (This essentially amounts to binding a bunch of JPGs into a book and telling it where the covers/spreads are.)We can do this pretty easily when exporting mixed content to PDF from PS, but every export option I tried in ID results in the text being selectable. It should be pixels like the artwork (for this version). Thanks!
