Can someone tell me how I supply a double page spread map to KDP please? When I worked in house we used to split the map with 3mm either side of the gutter so we didnt lose parts of the map when printing. I've done this but KDP is not happy with the file. Its the only double page spread in the book and it doesn't bleed off the outside edges. Thanks. 

Dear community or Adobe staff, after updating to Indesign 2025 yesterday, I've noticed the following with individual table modifications: If I create a table and would like to customize e.g. some of its horizontal lines, I therefore select the relevant areas in the table itself and then select the horizontal lines to be modified in the control bar (the grid-scheme in the upper horizontal control bar). Previously, I was able to edit modifications for a certain selected area again and again – Indesign remembered the area and I was able to change e.g. line thicknesses, colours etc. as required as often as I wanted.Now this grid scheme behaves quite strangely: Sometimes it activates all lines in a table , sometimes it activates the outer lines or other times it activates a vertical line … but never the part that I edited before and I that I want to change.As this is quite difficult to describe in words only, I have made a screencast. I hope this helps:https://www.loom.com/share/8d0f2935af3

I'm trying to post charts from one InDesign file to another.  The chart I'm trying to paste has hand-made fractions in them. The font is superscript and baseline shifted. When I paste it into a new document, the text loses all that formatting. It seems like a preferance thing, but I can't find it.

I'm currently storing all my design files on Zoho Workdrive, which is an online platform for file synchronization, storage, and collaboration. However, when I try to use "save as" in Indesign to rename a design, the program crashes. Saving a copy of the file works fine, though.I am using Indesign 2025.Any help would be appreciated     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hello everyone!I need a help. I need to duplicate a page X times. Does it means that I want to be able to choose how many times I want to duplicate the page.I found an interesting script that does it but it duplicate ALL the page of the document while I need to duplicate ONLY the active page. I have tried to modify the script but I couldn't.Can anyone help me?this is the script I found var n = prompt('Enter a number between 1 and 99.', '', 'Name of dialog');var reg = /^\d{2}$/;if (reg.test(n)){var doc = app.documents[0];var nbPage = doc.pages.length; // count doc pagesfor (i = 0; i < nbPage; i++) {var sourcePage = doc.pages.item(i + (i*n));for (j = 0; j < n; j++) {sourcePage.duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER, doc.pages.item(i + (i*n)));}}}else{alert('Error \r Must be a number between 1 to 99');} 

I had the TOC numbering and styling all worked out, but now my client wants the chapter numbers to right align. (Everything else is great.) I know this has been covered elsewhere in the discussions, but I've not found a solution. (I even tried formatting based on a kind expert's sample, but it didn't work for me.) How to achieve?   Screenshot of TOC attached. Happy to share whatever formatting may be useful. Thank you.   PS: Using Mac OS / Sonoma, InDesign V 20     <Title renamed by MOD>

Our magazine had a print issue and I am trying to figure out what went wrong--I was not involved in this issue and I want to prevent this problem from arising again.   The attached images show the background color of the page does not match when there are objects or text in front of it. The "background" of the text/objects should be transparent, so there should be no color difference.  Keep in mind, there is no highlight on the text, and the issue does not show up in the PDFs--only in print.   Can anyone help figure out what went wrong? What issue is this?     <Title renamed by MOD>

I'm having some trouble with a print error (The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem). I've trouble-shooted with some articles on here and gone through the steps in this post: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/error-print-engine-failed-print.html   I was able to print the document through the workaround of exporting to a PDF, but want to know the reason why it was getting that error. I've run into this issue with a few files before, but had no luck figuring out the reasoning. Usually, the files that have the error have been originally set up by someone else or are a copy of a file.    In addition to the suggestions in the post linked above, I've tried trouble-shooting by isolating out layers/objects, etc. and re-sending to print to try to find the direct issue. No luck with this either.    Any suggestions? I've seen articles going back years with this same issue, but no clear reasoning for why.     <Tit

For some unknown reason, I lost a custom font that I had used in an Indesign document. It was available for 2 years, but now it is missing!   I need to know 2 things: 1. What is the name of this custom font (see image below)?                                         2. What could cause it to go missing?       <Title renamed by MOD>

Hey everyone,  I have been diving into data merging with Indesign and absolutely loving it. Here is a catalog I created for the company I work for. I also have started to utilize separate .indd files to place pages from an indesign file into another indesign document. This has made my documents more editable in a helpful way.   I ran into some difficulty using data merge and placed documents. So, I am curious how some of you might approach this task with inDesign.    In one .indd, I have laid out a hang tag for retail products. Image below   In another, I "placed" the hang tag on a 13x19 sheet for print.   I like this approach because when I edit the hang tag, it automatically updates all instances of it in my hang tag layout. However, I am not able to Data Merge to a placed document, AFAIK. And we have close to 500 product variants to create hang tags for, so Data Merge is absolutely necessary.    I'm thinking I need to bite the bullet and simply r

I have an interactive form set up in Indesign CS6 and have muliple check boxes, I have them set to only appear when clicked, however our client would like it so that when one is clicked it won't let you click the others, so bascially is there are 10 check boxes, only allow you to click 1.Kind regardsMark

I have 2 documents, both with hyperlinks at certain points in the text.

I found something extremely intersting - Adobe products don't work with Apple's SF PRO font.    As soon as I put SF PRO font into my Indesign file or Aftereffect file - the files becomes unusably slow. It feels like the softwares are rejecting Apple's SF PRO font by design.   does anyone else see this problem??  and why does Adobe do this??      <Title renamed by MOD>

I think I know the answer to this question. Just in case I am missing something very obvious. I don't need such a feature to the point that I wouldn't be able to copy/paste the shape to Illustrator, outline it there and copy it back as a "surface".  To me this feature will never be found in InDesign... but I have to ask... Maybe through the help of a "script"?   Thank you for your patience and kind help.     <Title renamed by MOD>

Como se puede conseguir una versión de Indesing que funcione en un Mac mini de 4Gb de RAM

La mise à jour Indesign 2025 tourne très mal sur mon Mac Studio et il plante régulièrement ! idem pour Acrobate. Je suis le seul ?

Hi to all, what are the most important components for indesign to run as fast as possible? I have 32 gb of ram ( think that is good enough) Would the ram mHz speed improve the performance?   Thanks   {Renamed by MOD}

If I apply a character style to just a few words within a paragraph-style text in a InDesign CC document, after selecting File/Adobe PDF Presets/PDF/X and saving, on opening the PDF all the document's formatting and text attributes are reflected with the exception of the words to which the chararacter style has been applied. Am I missing something? PS: I've never used character styles before in a PDF but presume Acrobat can support them.     <Title renamed by MOD>        

Hi. I just got Adobe InDesign CS5. I have been a very long user of QuarkXpress. What I would like to do is a linear blend ofcolours in an object to a design I am doing. Then I would like to change the opacity of the SELECTED OBJECT only. But for some reason when I select the object and change the opacity, it changes it to the picture that is underneath the object to a different colour blue than what was originally in the picture I created? The picture was created in Photoimpact 11, with Pantone Blue as the colour.First, I created a new document and inserted a PNG picture that fits on the entire document as the background, that has a very bright blue background. I want to put a rectangular text box at the top with blended colours. When I create a new object, using the rectangle tool, and then put it on top of the picture, I select the rectangular box, I right click and go to Effects and then Transparency. I select the "Select for" prompt to "Fill". Then on the right side where it says "

I have a document that has conditional text (I-P and SI units). I have set up styles for each unit's equations (initial and continuation). Each unit's equations must have their own sequence (1,2, 3, 4, etc.) So, when the SI or I-P conditional text is turned off or on, the equations show the proper sequential numbering.Currently, if the I-P equations are all in order, the numbering is ok. But, our usual set up is to put each unit's equation one after the other (I-P eq. 1, SI eq. 1, I-P eq. 2, SI eq. 2, etc.If each unit is paired, the next equation starts numbering from the last equation instead of the previous sequence (see attached visual).I brought up the conditional text only in case there is something I can do using that to help keep the I-P and SI unit equations separate so that each unit's equations number sequentially.Thank you!
