InDesign

Hello ASC -  I find myself under pressure to create a few thousand COVID test results per day, with great urgency, using the excel output file of a molecular biology lab that does the work and needs to have it conveyed in a special PDF form to the government. I've solved all but the last steps of the process using DataMerge and the option to save as individual PDFs I can now generate the test bulletins. But for these tests to be distributed fast to hundreds of destinations and thousands of recipients, I need to be able to implement a naming protocol and this is where I got stuck. Each PDF should be named using a combination of specific fields from its content, such as test_result, pacient_name, test_date, test_place, etc I am relatively new to Indesign and have reached my competency limit with this one. I can probably crack it given enough time, but time is exactly what we lack. Can you help me please? 

The script is to fit the frame to the width of the column.Now there is a problem that it will fit the column to the width of the leftmost column.It should fit the width of the column in the upper left corner, and the Y coordinate should not change. Gods, who can help me revise it?Thank you very much.------------------------------var curDoc = app.activeDocument; var curSel = app.selection[0]; var gB = curSel.geometricBounds; // Masseinheiten, Ursprung und Nullpunkt speichern und bei Bedarf verändern hM = curDoc.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits; vM = curDoc.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits; rO = curDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin; zP = curDoc.zeroPoint; _setPref(); // Variablen initialisieren var pWidth = curDoc.documentPreferences.pageWidth; pWidth = Math.floor((pWidth * 1000) + 0.5) / 1000; var pHeight = curDoc.documentPreferences.pageHeight; pHeight = Math.floor((pHeight * 1000) + 0.5) / 1000; var curPage = app.activeWindo

Hi, InDesign doesn't start at all. It starts downloading plugins, but after half an hour it freezes and closes. I had to Install V. 19.5 to work at the moment. Did you have the same issue?     <Title renamed by MOD>

if you are organized, and use tagged folders for current projects -Doesn't drive you crazy when you *place* (Command+D),InDesign can't see the folders in 'Tags'?   If you have a solution - tell us, if not or in any case - ask Adobe to solve it here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/45588001-place-cmd-d-can-t-see-tagged-folders-on-mac   <Title renamed by moderator>

Ich möchte ein Inhaltsverzeichnis erstellen, welches doppelte Begriffe erkennt und dann nur bei den Seitenzahlen soll es alle Seiten anzeigen auf welcher der Begriff vorkommt? Wie geht das? 

Hi. I have a text box that has two paragraphs - one in english and one in hebrew: When the caret goes over the text* in English, it changes my keyboard input to English, and when I go to the text in Hebrew, it changes it to Hebrew. * to be more accurate, when I place the caret somewhere in the English/Hebrew paragraph, it doesn't change my input language. Only when I move the caret (with the arrow keys, for example) it will then change the input language. All these changes are a burden and make my work extremely slow, and I've never seen an app that changes your input language for you. I haven't found any info on this issue, so I wonder if it's a bug.I'm using Indesign 2022 on my Windows 11 laptop. Thanks!

I am using ID to lay out a long novel. The book is broken into 6 indd documents and stitched together with one indb document. I recently used the "Package Book for Print" tool to make a fresh copy of the book to enter editor's corrections in a fresh copy.  In the previous mode, when I opened the book, the 6 indd files AND the 1 indb file would show up in the Book panel. After creating the new folder with "Package Book for Print" only the 6 indd files show up in the Book panel. Not the indb file. Everything works fine, but when I close the document, the indb file doesn't recognise the old indb file and acts as if it is being saved for the first time and replaces it. Any idea what is going on?

In Excel you can select rows in the first column and see the number of rows selected at the base of the document window. Is there some way to get this info in an InDesign table?

Okay, don't come at me. Not looking for a lecture on bounding boxes, I understand their purpose. I  just don't like them very much. When I find myself in situations where they are more cumbersome than helpful, I would love to be able to turn them off. Is this possible?  Thanks in advance!

Boa tarde! Estou montando um catálogo de moda, e adicionei as legendas pelos nomes do arquivos, porém não estou conseguindo excluir todas as legendas em todas as páginas de uma vez só. Queria uma maneira de selcionar todas e excluir. Imagino que tenha alguma ferramenta que selecione todos os objetos de uma vez só. Outra opção, seria alterar o parágrafo de texto, mas não me entendi com essa função também.

I'm formatting lists in a 200-page reflowable epub. Numbered levels have subsidiary paragraphs that need to indent with no space above. A diagram is attached. The InDesign paragraph styles are correct but, of course, it doesn't export like that. Not only that, but I'm getting random corruptions each time I export the file from InDesign. In xhtml I'm getting spacing between the <li>s and the paragraphs that follow since they aren't part of the <ol>. Before I spend any more time trying to sort out the 14 list tags in CSS, can anyone tell me if this is even possible? Thanks. InDesign 19.5 x64 on Windows 11 Pro

Can I get some guidance, please?   In the attached video you can see and hear the problem I am having with the text.   It shows a text box with left alignment, but when I want to send the word from the lower left corner to the upper right corner, it does not go up, even though there is plenty of space in the text box.   Why does this happen, do I have some configuration that prevents it?   The invisible characters show only the space between one word and another... there doesn't seem to be any special character that forces the word not to go up to the top line...   Thanks!         <Title renamed by MOD>

Page Inspector not showing all spreads so I cannot add button interactivity using Go-To Page. It says I have only 204 pages when in fact I have 234? What could be the issue?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hello, I made a button in InDesign and exported it as an interactive PDF. When I opened it on my computer, it worked, but it did not work on my iPad or Goodnotes.   <Title renamed by MOD>

I've nearly completed a 272-page coffee-table photo book. Two weeks ago after doing some final edits, I saved the file to both my Mac desktop and to an external hard drive. The file is 122gb. I tried to revisit the file a couple of days later and can no longer open it in InDesign. Whenever I try to open any file for the book, even older version files, it starts to load with the blue bar indicator slowly advancing from left to right. When it reaches about halfway (and after about 5 minutes), the bar and text saying it is loading simply dissappears. I have the files backed up to print-quality pdfs, but the print house designer won't be able to make any adjustments. I've sent the innd file to the print house graphic designer for them to start readying it for print, and they cannot open it either. HELP!      <Title renamed by MOD>
