Dear Community I use the Generate QR-Code option in InDesign quiet often.But it always annoys me that InDesign automatically generates a blank frame around the QR-Code which makes it harder for me to aline with other objects.Is there a possibility to change the settings for the generator? Thank you.

Hi, is it possible to get text created using the "Type on a path" tool to export properly when creating a tagged PDF from an InDesign document? I've applied a paragraph style with the tag specified (H3 in this case) under Paragraph Style Options > Export Tagging > PDF. I've tried both directly adding said object to the articles panel and anchoring the type-on-a-path-object to a location within a text frame that's already in the articles panel as well as defining the content type as graphic, text, and unassigned. In the best case (text or graphic content type, separately added to articles panel), I get each glyph as a separate object within the H3 tag, ordered about how you'd expect (and NVDA reads each letter separately). If I define the content type as text and anchor it inside another text frame, I get each glyph as a separate object again BUT in a completely new article. If it's unassigned (or marked as a graphic and then anchored), the text isn't tagged at all. Hmm.  

Someone, please enlighten me on this Creative Cloud storage because so far, I have found it USELESS. I went to my Files folder and created a new folder for Archives. I can't seem to upload OR drag a WHOLE folder; it says one file at a time, and when I do upload an INDD file, it says it can't support that format. What am I missing!??? I have 1 TB of storage, and it would be nice to do a backup.   <Title renamed by MOD>  

I would like to know if there's a way to take the overflows text from a textframe and move it to another one ? I tried something like this by testing if my textFrames.overflows was true then slicing my textFrame in two by lines, and move the second part into another textFrame but i can't acces to overflows lines.

For reference, I am using an acer swift with an NVIDIA Geforce MX350 For the past few months, anytime I try to move an image on any of the adobe suite platforms (specifically Indesign, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and occasionally Photoshop) the bottom half of my screen proceeds to flicker, eventually flickering at such a rate that I am unable to see the object I am moving. This eventually increases to shut an extent that the entire screen fully blanks out. This glitch also occasionally happens when moving drawn objects (unsure of correct terminology, sorry. this includes squares, elipses and what not) I tried updating to the more recent version of indesign and that only made the problem worse Any help would be greatly appreciated!Best wishes!

We are creating an interactive brochure to be sent via email to employees. The brochure needs to be clickable, allowing recipients to navigate through it. How should I save and share this? I get an error message when I try to publish it online. 

I'm trying to bring tables, long tables, short tables, tables that span columns and more exciting InDesign tables ----- to bring them into Illustrator (!!!don't ask!!!)    Basically - exporting to EPS / PDF etc. breaks the table strokes into parts - and also breaks up the text and also some text is converting to outline opening in Illustrator.    My idea was to convert the indesign table to a drawn table where the table cells are objects, like paths.   But my scripting knowledge only brings me so far.    What I need to do is convert any table, whether the cells are merged or not - span columns etc.  That the table becomes strokes - continunous lines and not jointed (cos might need to resize a column or row)   So far I've got this - but it's very clean - basically make a table in indesign size the text frame to the table and run the script.   But it breaks if the cells are merged.    I just ned for the table to be generated as

Kan iemand mij vertellen hoe ik mijn regelpaneel, zie bijgaande foto, continu in beeld kan houden?Vaak is dit paneel 'verdwenen' en het is heel gedoe, zonder vaste stappen, om het paneel weer in beeld te krijgen. Dank Theo

Bonjour à tous, j'utilise la font Zapf Dingbag pour une puce et une étoile dans un document et il apparait comme un carré manquant surligné depuis que je suis passée sur Indesign 2024. La Font est bien activée et n'apparait pas en police manquante. J'utilise Connect Fonts pour mes polices. Elle apparait avec un carré surligné lié à un style de paragraphe avec un GREP dans une cellule de tableau. Avez-vous eu ce genre de problème

When i want to Export a PDF File my Window is moved outside of my screen. I cant move it down because the top part is cut of. Because of that i cant change the Export preset or the PDF Version. Is there a possibility to move the Window without having to touch the upper part of it? I am working on a Windows PC btw. Thx in advance 🙂

Hi, how can i set the columns in a text box to flow right to left for a right to left language?

Hi, My use case is to be able to take a table which is inside a text frame and "pasteInto" the same text frame, so that the table clipped to the text frame dimensions. Here's the code snippets I have got so far: // Create the tablevar myTable = textFrame.insertionPoints[-1].tables.add(...) // Generic code to check the text frame in which the table is locatedvar topTextFrame = undefinedfor (var i = 0; i < g.doc.textFrames.length; i++) {    var thisTextFrame = g.doc.textFrames[i];    // Check if the text frame's story contains the nestedTextFrame as an anchored object    if (thisTextFrame.textFrames.itemByID(textFrame.id).isValid) {        topTextFrame = thisTextFrame;        break;    }} // If we located the topTextFrame, "paste Into" the table back into the same topTextFrame if (topTextFrame) {    $.writeln("Top text frame found.");    app.select(textFram

I have a long list of cases (some 1200) cited incorrectly across multiple volumes. I've set up a text file for the FindChangeByList.jsx to find the incorrect citations and replace them with the correct ones.But I want to retain the index markers in cases where the marker is inside the citation. My solution was to demarcate each case with « and » at the beginning and end of the citation, and then to find index markes between « and » and place them before «. For this I searched for the citations and replaced them with the found text with « and » around it: «$0» In the Find/Change dialog this worked, and the index markers were retained. However, when I did it via FindChangeByList.jsx, the marker itself disappeared, but a remnant remained, something like a blue colon. See below. If I copy and paste the blue colon into a find/change dialog box, it is pasted as ~I, i.e. index marker. But if I search for it, it's not found.Any ideas on how I can go about moving the index markers out

I am using InDesign CC 2017 on a Mac using OS 10.12.4. I can only see the frames when I click on the text with the pointer tool.   I want the option to leave the frames on, and have always been able to do this until now. I have the screen view set on normal at the bottom of the toolbox. Using View, Extras, Show frame edges doesn't work. Please advise.

Since the new latest version document which are sent for revies makes my InDesign extremly slow......EXTREMELY Slow for each adjustment....?Any other having the same problem? /Anders 

Hi, I've been working on a project for two months in InDesign, which was recently updated to InDesign 2025. As it has updated, it has created blank slides, but all my old files work normally. The file shows the thumbnail of my work to suggest that it is still there, however, it just opens 5 blank slides instead of a 40 page document with 28 slides filled in.  I have uninstalled the 2024 version and tried turning off the GPU, but it isn't available on my version of InDesign. I have even exported and saved it to IDML and re-opened it as an IDML file. I then tried looking at version history and it says the original date that I created it but it says there is no other version of my work. Is there anything else I can do as I feel as though I have done most things. Any help would be much appreciated as I have had to restart my work from scratch.

I don't know what is happening. I was able to pull photos in a data merge in the past without issues. But now it's not working correctly.   When it goes to pull the photo location to place the pictures, it keeps popping up that it can't find them because of the source file. It brings up this error:   The first half of that location is where the .csv file is saved. /Volumes/New Artwork/Artwork to Print/ARTWORK/Dealers/Dealer#4600-4699/4649 Interstate Ford/Holiday Cards/Drew Schendel/List/   and the second half is where the picture is saved.  S:\Calendar Cropped Photos\4649\0558856_0558856-R1-019-10.jpg   I don't know why it keeps thinking that they need to be together. I've checked the original Excel File and the CSV file to make sure they were written correctly and they are.   I've even made brand new files and put all the information in brand new. And this is still happening. We work on a really big server and different things are saved in different are

My company has a custom library of icons to use on various materials. To make this easily accessible across our marketing team, we built an Adobe Library so users can simply drag assets into their layouts. We intentionally included an un-filled, un-stroked square in each icon to help with visual alignment and consistent scaling. This works perfectly in Illustrator. However, InDesign ignores that square entirely, meaning just the icon itself appears.   This is a big problem for us. It will make it harder to spot inconsistent sizing and to properly visually align the icons. Adobe Library assets need to be treated consistently across Adobe products.   Is there a solution to prevent this issue? If not, I'd like to request this change be made (or at least a toggle be put in place in a library's options).   <Title renamed by MOD>  

Won't open at all. This is bull!

I recently had to erase and reformat my mac. I lost all my Adobe products in that process. Unfortunately, after reinstalling Creative Cloud, I discovered that InDesign 18.5.4 is not available for download. I need version 18.5.4 to work with plugin that pulls in company data. Is there any possibility of getting version 18.5.4???

I am using multi-state objects in a published online InDesign document. Everything is working, except that the multi-state objects are not printing. I have the buttons used for navigation and to control the states set to not print, which works. However, the multi-state objects should just print as the first state. What am I missing? I am trying to convince stakeholders that this is a viable solution. But if I can't get the images to print, this project is dead in the water. I appreciate any help you can provide!   The document can be found here:  https://indd.adobe.com/view/e3d2d249-4ada-46cc-859f-1410d4ad11f2     <Title renamed by MOD>

Good morning I would like to download Indesing 2023 (v18) but it has been removed from the creative cloud where can I find it? Thank you 

Hi everyone!I'm familiar with combining data from Excel into InDesign, but I'm having trouble figuring out if it's possible to place it all into the same text box.The fields should look something like this:"Name""Address""City"And then, the next person, like in a phone book or directory.So, the options I’m considering are:1. Creating a single box with three columns, where each set of data (Name, Address, City) appears one after the other.2. Keeping each text box separate, but finding a way to ensure the distance between each box remains consistent, even when the boxes contain different amounts of information. Thank you!!

I have a poetry group dead set on using the Electra font for their book I'm creating in inDesign. Is has been discontinued by Adobe since January 2023 as it is a type 1 font. If they were to purchase it for me, would i still be able to use it? Wouldnt it still be a type 1 font which Adobe says can no longer be used in inDesign? I dont know what to tell them. Does anyone know?     <Title renamed by MOD>
