Some scripts can be undone with a single click before execution.But for others, you have to roll back step by step.Some scripts perform multiple operations, making it cumbersome to revert to the state before execution.Is there a way to undo these multi-step scripts with one click, returning them to their origina

I cant seem to text over my image. I create a text box. choose my color and began to type. I "arrange" the text to "send forward and send to front but it CONINUES TO SHOW BLANK ON THE IMAGE.

I have an opportunity to bid on a project which involves a re-design of an environmental-type guide and map utilizing InDesign and Illustrator. The only criteria in which I have very little experience is that a Spanish version will also be required. Basically, I’d like to answer “yes” to the question “Can the bidder produce desired products in both English and Spanish?” Any advice/suggestions will be very much appreciated.

The last line which has a footnote number ending in it is squashed.I noticed that this happens when i apply the World Ready Paragraph Composer.When i apply the normal Adobe Parapgraph Composer it goes back to normal.I need the World Ready Paragraph Composer as there are many paragraphs with Arabic in it.Does anyone know why this happens and the solution?  World Ready Paragraph ComposerAdobe Paragraph Composer​​​​​​ 

I'm currently using version 20.4, which has the feature,and I thought that simply dragging a PDF would activate the feature,but nothing happens when I drag it. Do I need to activate it separately? Could it be that it doesn't work because it's the Korean version? 

Hello,I’m experiencing a blocking issue with the Package function in InDesign 2025 on macOS Tahoe 26.On macOS Sonoma 14.7, the Package function works perfectly with the same document.On macOS Tahoe 26, I tested on two different Macs and the issue occurs every time.When trying File > Package…, InDesign returns the error:InDesign could not package the document. Cannot copy the necessary linked files.  Details:All links are valid (no missing or modified files).Fonts are activated and not missing.The issue happens whether I try to package to the Desktop, to a folder in Documents, or to an external volume.Tried with “include fonts” checked/unchecked → same issue.Tried saving as IDML before packaging → still fails.This looks like a compatibility issue between InDesign and macOS Tahoe 26, possibly related to new file system permissions. Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround or an upcoming patch?Thanks in advance for your help

When I select a text box, both of the following are correct:var sel = app.documents[0].selection; alert(sel); // [object TextFrame] alert(sel.length) // 1​When my cursor is inside the text, I tried the code below and found both are [object TextFrame], but sel.length is invalid..It should be noted that sel is undefined. item = app.activeDocument.selection[0]; if (item.parent.textFrames[0].constructor.name == "TextFrame") { var sel = item.parent.textFrames[0]; } alert(sel);//[object TextFrame] alert(sel.length)//undefined?????

...or a Mac script? Rather than open up every file and Export as........? Affinity 3 is out and free.

Indesign crashes everytime when opening a document in the cloud (.inddl).Shared for Live Copy editing (beta). Can't  open or access my file any longer. Can I download this file local somehow? Thanks

I have imported several word documents (sort of like individual chapters) into InDesign, so they appear as separate stories. The files have endnotes and footnotes, each of which appears correctly (yay!) aside from my having selected “Load the Place Cursor” and the endnotes appearing on the second page of the placed material (maybe that’s user error? I’m pretty new. I’ve been placing with shift + click). But that’s besides the point.It seems that by default, the endnotes always appear in their own text frame (whether you are importing or you add an endnote using InDesign’s menu). Cutting and pasting seems to break the link between the reference and the text (the numbers change to <?> and you can’t go back and forth between the reference and the text by right clicking). Is there a way to move the dynamic endnotes into the story’s main frame? I mostly just don’t want to have to mess with the endnote text boxes if we end up moving the text around while we are fitting it, but we have

Based on advice from Adobe, we upgraded our Surface Pro machines last year. All are ARM machines. While we were OK to use a Beta temporarily, there have been two outages and a current ongoing outage and it is become very disruptive. We upgraded on the promise that a native app with compatibility for newer ARM machines was being developed. My question is two fold: 1- when will Adobe release a native app? 2 - Current 21.3 Beta Build Issues:I have been dealing with Adobe support for the last four days and have been getting the same suggestions and none work. I have updated, uninstalled, restarted to get this application to work and it is just getting worse. I need help. I am at the point where I will need to cancel our subscription and throw away 15 years experience using InDesign and learn another product. I can’t keep waiting for Adobe to get their act together and provide some real support. The first error I had was Beta Build has expired. The second error after Adobe support and troub

Hello,Illustrator 2026 is causing a huge number of problems with the simple manipulation of text boxes.When I move them, it changes the text alignment inside the box. When I try to fit the box to the content, it doesn’t adjust to the text but to the bug. When I move a box, it marks the content as “overset text.” In short, nothing works — it’s impossible to align anything properly.Stop adding useless AI features when the most basic tools no longer work. All of this while increasing the price by more than €200 per year. Don’t be surprised that everyone is looking for alternatives to your solutions.I’ve been using your ecosystem for 20 years, and you’ve finally managed to make me sick of it.

Liebe ID-User: Wer kennt dieses Problem auch bzw. hat eine Lösung? MacOS Sequoia 15.5 Creative Cloud 6.7.0.278 InDesign 20.4   Fehler trat plötzlich auf. Deinstallieren/Installieren, Neustart etc. half nicht.  

I am new to InDesign (& Illustrator); I am hoping there is just something basic I am not understanding. I am trying to follow the general advice to create my vector graphics in Illustrator and then place them in InDesign.  I am putting together my overall layout (graphics, text, page organization, etc.) in InDesign. To maintain a consistent visual style, I would like all of my strokes to be exactly the same width as each other.  This is easy to achieve for, e.g., borders on text frames or other simple objects I create directly in InDesign.  However, for more complicated graphics—which I created in Illustrator—I am having difficulty.   Specifically, the width of the stroke on the object I designed in Illustrator but then placed into InDesign seems to depend on the overall scale of the object in InDesign.  This leads to the strokes of different objects to appear (in InDesign) to be different in width than my other objects in InDesign, breaking the visual consistency I am aiming for.

Adobe is padding updates with AI and other “features” - your description, not mine. These are causing crashes and freezing and generally disrupting the users’ workflow, which is counter productive. Given the cost of Creative Cloud it is inexcusable that users are losing time and money trying to work this nonsense. Designers are quite capable of deciding what that want to do with their documents without Adobe forcing buggy options into our work. Kindly STOP this practice - or perhaps Adobe is prepared to pay us for lost time. If you’s like examples, simply read through the MANY posts detailing these issues.

I currently have these print settings and, as you can see, the print preview is showing it should print on 2 tabloid pages, however, it prints 6 pages.  I haven’t tried with 0 overlap, but I would like a little to line up on as we all know printers can shift 2mm.The canvas is configured as about 10 mm less than 11x34 with 4mm margins.  

Hello everyone!I was told by Adobe Review Team to try and post my question here. I’m not entirely sure If it is the right community, because in their email they refered to “Adobe Developer Support Forum” and provided link to this forum.Issue:I’ve developed a plugin which integrates spellchecking API into Indesign. However, the API is from a Russian app, and plugin only works with Russian language. For plugin review to be successfully completed, It must support English language. I had no problem translating UI into English, but since plugin works with non english API, errors which are sent by an API response are in Russian language and the whole text annotations are also in Russian. I don’t have an access to their server/code to translate every possible error. I didn’t ask devs about this, but let’s say It wouldn’t work… Is It possible to do something about this localization issue? May be there is an easy way to do it? Assuming that non english text errors (from API response) is part of

We recently installed the new 2026 update (20.0) and now on one of our computers we are unable to open any new files/documents and the window that contains suggested files sizes does not appear either. I've tried updating the Microsoft C++ but not having any luck with that fix. It is on a computer that is a little out of date (nothing crazy) but now when I reinstall 2025 it is doing the same error of not opening new files/documents. 

Still an issue in InDesign 2026Graphical elements on a masterpage labeled as aftefact are not checked in PAC 2024 and 2026.Solution in Adobe communityInDesign to Acrobat issues with links on master page | CommunityThey say, don’t place links on a masterpage but only in the document pages.This is strange. A link or a graphical element is a generic element for all the pages. When you have a document of about 100 pages, you should place 100 times a link on each page to get no failures in PAC 2026.I found two other posts in the InDesign community, but both are not the solution.They suggested: Override the masterpage itemshttps://community.adobe.com/questions-671/pdf-accessibility-master-page-items-artifact-by-default-how-to-change-901854?postid=3135202#post3135202Remediate in Adobe Acrobat Preflight is not a structure solution what should be done in InDesign and pdf export as a tagged pdf,https://community.adobe.com/questions-671/how-to-ensure-parent-page-items-are-properly-tagged-in-an-ad

I create very large catalogs, between 100 and 600 pages. I initially create them in Spanish and English, with short descriptions of the references. There are about 200 or 300 different references. Once my catalog is ready, we translate it into French and Italian. I’ve a library with the translated references, and I use Command+F to change the text. My question is, is there a faster process than doing it manually? I already have all the translated references; I just need to change them. Can anyone help me?

Lately, I’ve been working on the ‘share to review’ concept within my design team. One of the questions that came to mind was whether it’s possible to export the  comments posted in the indesign file in some way.Is there anyone here who knows a bit more about this?

Hi all! I’m working with InDesign files created using software that converts PDFs into InDesign files. I am having an issue that’s driving me crazy. Text is showing up lower than it should in the text boxes. I have made sure the Vertical Justification is set to “Top.” Baseline shift is 0. There is no inset spacing (all 0). The font is all the same size (I did “Command A” to be sure). What else would cause text to be lower than it should be in a text box? I’m out of ideas. Thank you! 

I am assembling a quarterly magazine and just place an article as a Word document. The article laid in OK except for the footnote separator lines which are inconsistently spaced throughout the article. See attacment. I've worked with InDesign since 2002 and this is the first time I've worked with footnotes so I do not have a clue as to how I might fix this spacing issue.Can anyone tell me how to adjust spacing around footnote separator lines?Thanks to those who know more than me?Joe

I have CS5.  I'm working on a multipage document in InDesign and I want to bring in a multipage PDF document into that InDesign document.  For some reason, when I do File>Place, it brings in the first page of the PDF (with perfect formatting) but the other pages do not come in.  Is there some other setting that I'm missing to capture all pages of the PDF to transfer into the same number of pages in my InDesign document?
