InDesign

Congratulations to me if I can competently describe what I want to do, ha ha. I have a parent page with a frame to hold an image on the child pages. I copy an image to the clipboard, create a child page, Cmd + Shift + Click to select the frame from the parent, then right-click and Paste Into to paste my image into the frame. Works perfectly. I have  a transparent gif that I want to appear over that image on every child page. Is there some way to put that image into the frame in the parent page so that it appears in the frame on the child page above my pasted image? This is the overlay I want on my parent page:  Then I'm going to copy an image like this:  And paste it into my child page so that it shows up like this, under the overlay:  Is there a way to do this? I do want to retain the option of repositioning the frame (or making other changes) on the parent page and have it reposition on all the child pages. So I don't want to do

I've been banging my head against a wall.trying to figure out a tab order issue that I can't seem to figure out. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.  Bullets for Speed This is a fairly large InDesign file that is part of a book. ~300 pages total.When exporting a file individually, it follows the correct tab order.When exporting as part of the book, it follows the layer order. The Cause of The Problem? The reason why we cannot move layers around easily is because they're anchored within the text frame. And due to split column, some of the anchored form fields are being read in the wrong order when it comes to tab order.The wrong tab order is following the layer order, and the file does not allow for dragging the layers to reorder. (We think it's because it uses paragraph menu -> hamburger menu -> span columns, but not 100% sure if that's why.)We CAN reorder the layers with the Edit -> "Edit in Story Mode" with cut and paste, but the layout gets all messe

When adding files to a book, I occasionally get an error message telling me the file can't be added because it's in use or I don't have permission. Help, please.

It is posiible to isolate from a spelled list only those thar have the red underline?Thanks 

My CCLibraries between my home computer and my office computer are not syncing.  I am logged in to the same account for both.  What can I do to resolve this problem?     <Title renamed by MOD>

I must have accidentally hit something, because when I drag a ruler or grid line from the side of the page, the values indicating x or y position are so tiny I can't read them. No clue what I've done, but I can't work with them like this. Any help appreciated.

Hi Adobe Community!I've finsihed creating a document consisting of multiple pages and exported all of them in PNG format (72ppi, Maximum Quality) and I noticed that on one very specific page lines appeared below specific images...I have no clue what is causing this and I've tried exporting the page multipe times but nothing changes. Any Idea how I could resolve this issue?  Thanks in advance for your replies!      <Title renamed by MOD>

This book design begins each chapter with a 2-page spread, and never the last page of the preceding chapter occupying the left side. All the chapters are separate files, and each has a vestigal page 1, a single page before the actual opening spread. I did not know at the time, or now, how to have the document set up otherwise, though I tried (deleting the blank page 1, my spread would be then be split up, ruined for working on/considering  the spread as a whole, with the left page then becoming placed as page 1, a right page, and then the right page of the spread moving over to the left,  as a separate page).The book is now done, 47 chapters, and whenever assembling using the book function, all those empty page 1 blanks need to be deleted in the pdf. Again time consuming, doing it whether as a pdf or otherwise. How can this be done initially in ID, and now, when it must be outputted without the blank at the start of every chapter?Appreciative of assistance.

i want to make a book where it bond by the top and bottom rather than bound by the spine. Where do i go to make this edit? I would also like to view it vertical instead of horizontaly as existing.  

Is there a limit on how long the found GREP result can be??     For shorter blocks of text - it will select all lines:     If I start removing some words from the first block - it will select bigger part - more paragraph(s)??   Also, what should be the GREP query to find everything in between:   REFERENCES ... ... CHAPTER   but excluding those words - so the found result will be like on the 2nd screenshot.   Because, even something like this doesn't work??     Nor this:         <Title renamed by MOD>  

Recently I made an interactive food menu for a client, and it was all fine and it's interactive, however!when it's being used the tools such as draw and other tools are visible, how can I use the pdf without showing anything but the pdf, i don't want the overlays or anything to show when using the pdf.

Ever since InDesign updated from version 19.5 to version 20, the current page number marker on my master pages will not sync. Now, every document in my book just starts from page 1. So, in other words, every chapter starts over at page 1. Please help. I've included a screen grab of my problem. You'll see that the page numbers on the actual document don't match the page numbers indicated in the pages window or in the book window. I've redone the marker in the master pages and resynced, but no dice...     <Title renamed by MOD>

As shown in the above image I have an empty space between "Social - group interaction" and "Emotional - books, dramatic play". I am unable to select it. I have activated show hidden characters and I still cannot see or select the object (if there is one at all). When I backspace the emotional dot point it simply jumps over the blank space to the end of the previous line of text. I am wanting to remove this empty space so the dot points flow from one to the next with equal spacing. Kind Regards, Dave.

I am unable to update to InDesign 20.0.I click on the "Update" button, and nothing happens. The Creative Cloud window has a box checked that says, "Works with this device". Any suggestions?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Please help! I have exported my InDesign file as a pdf document and I am trying to tag with accessibility tags... I have automatically added tags and now in the process of fixing the tagging - but every time I save it, it will either revert back to old, removes tags, moves them around or makes them blank! This is a client project and I am in big strife if I cannot get this to work. When looking at the reading order, it is also all out of wack and I cannot get it to match the tag list order... which may be part of the issue... help!  I keep fixing it and it keeps changing.    <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi Team Indesign has updated itself over the weekend to 19.0. I am running Windows 10 Enterprise Version 22H2. Since then the  Control Z  keyboard short cut will not work. When I go to Edit > Undo from the top menu it is grayed out. Also the when resizing a text box the content will not flow to the new size or shape of the box until I click inside the text box. Is there an update or work around for these issues / bugs It was all working fine on friday before the update. Thanks Rod

I know there are dozens of threads on this, I've read them all, and I still am having this extremely frustrating issue with Acrobat consistently washing out my colors. Even if the colors are CMYK compatible, it's desaturating them. I'm putting PSDs into InDesign. Transparency Blend Mode set to RGB to preview correctly. Exporting as a PDF to view in Acrobat. Setting an RGB destination profile does nothing to retain my colors. Everything looks fine in Mac 'Preview' application, but Acrobat can't seem to retain any of the proper colors. This is turning a simple 5 minute task into hours of tweaking at least once a month. I'd love if any one can offer a sureproof solution.

Hi Everyone, I need your support in adding a vertical scrollbar to my custom palette for InDesign. The current palette is growing as I add a new button to it. so I want two vertical scroll bars, one for the 'Custom Checks' and the other for the 'Custom Fixes'. Here's my code:If easily doable, can we also reduce the margins between the buttons. Thanks, in advance,M #targetengine 'customChecksAndFixes' // Create the panel window var myWindow = new Window('palette', "Checks & Fixes - InDesign, v5.0", undefined, { resizeable: true }); // Add here a message "Please Save Your File Before Running a Script!" var messageText = myWindow.add('statictext', undefined, "Save Your File Before Clicking a Button..."); messageText.alignment = 'center'; // Add buttons to the panel myWindow.alignChildren = 'column'; myWindow.alignChildren = 'left'; // ************************************************ CUSTOM CHECKS – B U T T O N S var checkFonts = myWindow.add('button', undefined, '

I have a template file that contains 5 pages. There are text frames on each page. The first page - the first text frame is for the TITLE. The rest of the text frames I would call them NOTATION text frames that are linked.My problem is as follows: I need a script when I type with my font in NOTATION text frames - so that the script makes new text frames under the NOTATION text frames.  I'm going to call this group of new text frames LYRICS text frames.  The problem is that I want the syllables in the text frames LYRICS to be exactly below each character that will be in the text frames NOTATION And to be centered under each character to which they belong from text frames NOTATION For now, I'm doing this job manually and that job consumes so much time. I tried already with ChatGPT but without solution. 2 I had the idea that when I write in first row signs for notation, the script will make for each sign a separate text frame so later the script can make new t

I work with the latest CC (you might find all details in the crash report). I have an InDesign file with an InCopy story. When I try to update the files within the story InDesign crashes. No matter if I do it with only one or all files within the story. I tried to de-link all files and export again for InCopy. But the result is the same.The InDesign and InCopy files are saved on our office server which I access from home via VPN.Please find the crash report attached.I  had the same problems, too with another file some weeks ago. Luckily we were at the very end of the project and I could just de-link the InCopy files and we've made the last small edits directly in InDesign.But this time the project is in full run and I see no chance to get around this issue. And we need to get this done very soon. Crash report<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE AdobeCrashReport SYSTEM "AdobeCrashReporter.dtd"> <crashreport serviceVersion="4.7.0" clientVersion="4.7.0" applicationNa

Almost everytime I use InDesign, my shortcuts will stop working. Whether it's V, or my option + drag to duplicate, or resizing with shift.  I've looked at numerous posts and haven't found a resolution.  Any suggestions?

Hallo Community, ich habe plötzlich alle Bilder in meinem Inhaltsverzeichnis, welche nicht dort sein sollten.Die Bilder sind mit einem Text (Absatzformat Abbildung) gruppiert. Dieses Absatzformat ist jedoch nicht im Inhaltsverzeichnis hinterlegt. Wie kann das sein und hat jemand eine Lösung?Liebe Grüße!

Hello in the screenshots I added to this post I'm trying to put a picture into the different frames and to do that I inserted everything into a compound path but when I'm trying to release the compound path to move the frames it removes everything except one frame as I showed in my image examples. Does anybody know how to do what I'm trying to do

Isn't there a way to convert, per example in my case, Adobe CC files into IDML for my CS6 softwares ? I even have a IDML file done on another account so I could open it in my CS6 account wich I cannot open at all even if its an IDML. And I can open this exact IDML on an cc account.It's really not helpful and really badly done to face these issues. It really is an handicap.[moderator changed Adobe to Indesign in the title]
