InDesign

Hello,    My Indesign won't open up at all. It won't go past the opening dialogue. It goes to 'Completing Initialisation' and then the wheel of doom starts spinning. I've tried deleting it and reinstalling and I've tried the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool but nothing seems to help! Any help would be much appreciated.    I'm using: macOS Sequoia 15.1 Indesign (20.0)     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hello Adobe Gurus! I need some help. I work in a student newspaper setting and recently two computers (or maybe accounts?) started doing this weird thing where pages designed on one computer by one designer look fine on that computer and most the others in the office, but whenever I try to open them on my computer, or when I am signed in on another machine, they are missing all the content such as images and text. (we use saved graphic textboxes that have filler text, and the filler text remains in them) It seems to be a problem between our adobe accounts because it's just between us. This designer often can't open my pages either.The attached images are what his page looks like completed, and how it looks when I try to open it.We have deleted both of our preference files on both computers and that has not worked. The problem seems to slowly be spreading to other user accounts as well because other people are sometimes not able to open his pages either, could it be something about how

How do I stop indesign spinning out every 5 seconds, I literally cannot use anything in it anymore.... even with a new document, no links, nothing....

I am currently trying to convert a 58 page PDF into a fully editable InDesign document and found this article from 10/17/24 showing that the InDesign (Beta) version can do just that. However, after installing and opening the beta version I am met with a window that states "Your InDesign (Beta) build has expired." and the app closes... anyone have any insights on this? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you

I am working on a project that my company puts out twice a year. The last time I used InDesign was maybe 3 months ago. In that time, all of my existing settings seem to have disappeared, along with my bottom scroll bar (and the presaved color swatches and the arrangement of how all the different panels are on the screen -- that's less of an issue and not something I'm worried about). It's as if the entire app window is too long to view on my screen. All of my panels have also been rearranged into different areas as well, completely different from the way I've had it set up for the last 3.5 years.The only way I can scroll downward is my pinching my touch screen (to resize the workspace) and using the hand tool (I'm using an HP Surface Pro laptop). It lags horribly as I do this and it doesn't jump from page to page this way either. Things I've tried:- Maximize and minimize the app in window- I've tried switching the viewing option in the upper right hand corner. - I've moved my

hello, I have a book with several documents, on each page of the documents there is a title describing a drawing, the drawing is valid for several contexts. I want to create an index listing the drawings of each context, with the corresponding page number. So a drawing will appear several times in the index. How do I set up the index?

So I made multiple indesign document for school use. But a year passed and I had to buy the licentie again. When I downloaded Indesign again all my InDesign files where gone. No sign of them anywhere.  And I don't have my files saved on my laptop because I had issues and the laptop had to be repaired in the meantime. I do have all my Illustrator files on my creative cloud and in Illustrator app. Just not the InDesign files. How do I get them back or how did this happen? 

How can I export a page layout from Indesign 25 to HTML so it can become an email signature while keeping the hyperlinks active?   <Title renamed by MOD >

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on a book project in Adobe InDesign that consists of 250 pages. I have two separate INDD files: one containing all the text and the other containing all the images. My goal is to combine these two files so that each page has the corresponding text overlaid on the images, but I’m finding it quite tedious to do this manually page by page. Is there a way to automate this process? I’m considering using scripts but I’m not very experienced in that area. Any guidance on how to efficiently merge the text and images, or any scripts that could help with this task, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your assistance!

I'm having issues with colours in Indesign and Photoshop. When I open a jpeg in photoshop or place it in Indesign the colours become really saturated even when exporting the PDF. How can I get the colours I see when I open the jpeg in preview? When I export the document as an Epub the colours are fine.  Thanks,Lucy

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.

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.

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>
