How can I create custom shortcuts for different options for pathfinder? I searched for shortcuts in various commands inside the shortcut options by going to edit>keyboard shortcuts but couldn't find. 

Recently, I noticed a glitch where placed images would shrink back to the smaller size, with a dark striped background. I've changed previews but it doesnt solve the issue. Images to follow.    the box is the size of the labels when I placed and stretched the image to fit. Days later when I reopened the file, a lot of the images looked like this. I'm using a Mac in Indesign by the way. Thank you for any help.      <Title renamed by MOD>

Hello everybody, I have a quite annoing problem with my team. We work on a strategic content called "white paper" that we build on inDesign. When exporting the PDF to publish on the website we have visualization problems on some browser, mainly on Chrome that doesn't show some images that are inside the PDF. https://www.eng.it/content/dam/eng-portal/resources/documents/trend-radar/generative-ai/ENG24_TR-Gen-AI_IT.pdf    This is an example. At page 4 there's the rest of the image that is at page 3 that doesn't show up.   Same thing happes here at page 9: https://www.eng.it/content/dam/eng-portal/resources/documents/white-paper/portfolio/energy-utilities/ENG24_WP_Smart-Energy_IT.pdf   On page 26 it shows the image but doesn't have a yellow overlay that we placed on the mastro to make the image turn to yellow.   If you download the file and open it on Acrobat Reader everything show up correctly.   Does anybody know how we can fix this problem?Thanks, Dan

The second letter disappears when exporting to PDF when Drop cap is applied. Indesign 19.5 MEas you can see. One image in InDesign and the other from the PDF.The problem appears starting from version 19. The version with the most problems in the history of Adobe InDesign 

I need help! Please !!!!! Indesign is crashing after export to PDF.  I am running ID 19.5. Sequoia 15.0.1. This is so chronic that I can't get work done. I have rebuilt the file that I have used for the last first years and that has not worked either. Is it the operating system or the Indesign verion or both? Can anyone suggest what versions to install.  Thanks you in advance.    <Title renamed by MOD>  

Does anyone know if there is a way to export data from InDesign pages to use in Excel or anywhere else? I have a catalog and need to create an index from the pages including items from different text boxes and the pages they appear on. At least a way to extract data from these pages?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Every time I change the margin size in Indesign all text from page 129 to 541 disappears.  Any advice would be appreciated.     <Title renamed by MOD>

There must have been a crash months ago where these 4 files were open. Now everytime I load indesign it loads these same 4 files. Any idea how to stop this? There must be a crash cache somewhere that is stuck or some file I can just delete. It opens the actual files and shows them as "unsaved". An idlk file also shows up in that folder for each file (although maybe that is normal).       <Title renamed by MOD>  

Hi there,I was planning to finish my project in InDesign today, but unfortunately, I can no longer open the program. Have you encountered this issue before? Do you know what can be done to fix it?Best regards,Stefan

Hi all, I have two monitors. Main 28" Philips 288E2A, 4K 3840 × 2160 and second 24" Philips 243V7QJABF, Full HD 1920 × 1080. When I have windows on the main monitor everything is fine - all cursor sizes are the same and the desciption is visible as on this picture. When I have windows on the second monitor, the description is not visible and every cursor other than the arrow is bigger as on these pictures. Cursors are the same size even if I change their size to maximum in windows preferences. In that case the arrow is huge, but the other cursors are still the same size as in the described situation - so they are now small compared to the arrow.It only happens in Indesign, other Adobe programs don't have this problem.Main display has scale 175%, second 100%.If I set the main monitor to 100% scale, everything is fine on the second monitor as well. Cursors are all the same size and descriptions are displayed. But with 100% scaling of the main monitor I can´t work. Everythi

Hi! I have got an old version of InDesign (CS3), and should like to know: How can I get the Text Tool back again? It is "dimmed out" now! kk     <Title renamed by MOD>

I am in the middle of putting together an extremely important document. I've been working on it throughout this week, saving, opening, and closing it with no issue as my work developed. Today, I restarted my computer to do system updates, making sure to close all my documents before I did so. When my computer restarted, my indesign document was suddenly a version from a week ago, all of my work this week having disappeared.     Is there anything that I can do to recover my work? No auto-recovery menu popped up when I booted up Indesign - so the file was not closed improperly. My company's IT can't seem to find anything in the server where the file is located. The Recovery folder in my Cache shows some files listed with today's date - but it seems like there's nothing I can do to access whatever that stuff is.    Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to have to do so much rewriting     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hello, I am currently working on a program for a show. A problem I have ran into is that when the InDesign projects is exported, some of the pages will have bolder text than others, despite being the same font style, no stroke applied, etc. I have attached an example on 2 side-by-side pages in my exported PDF. Can anybody give me a pointer as to why this is happening? I am using InDesign 19.5.   <Title renamed by MOD>

When I add new content to a document and then attempt to update the Table of Contents as normal (layout > Update Table of Contents), the title remains but all the entries disappear. After a good long while trying to figure this new unwelcome development out, I've discovered the Table of Contents menu isn't saving the entries for the "included paragraph styles" and their related entry style. I have to add them back in every single time I want to update the TOC. After so many years using INDD, this is a real PITA.  Using INDD 19.5 Windows 10 x64.   <Title renamed by MOD>

Hello!There is an issue I am experiencing where when a page is deleted that used to have structure somehow has one piece of the structure thinking there's still a document element attached to it.Does anyone have advice on how to detect these items? I think maybe they all have "XMLStory" as the page-element parent at the top of it all, just thinking. I would like to create a method that can be fed an XML element, and it needs to find its XML parents all the way to the top, and return true if the parent of the xmlContent is an instance of XMLStory.Apparently the ones which do not have a representation in the pages are called "XMLStory", which under it has some kind of all valid elements even if they are not on the document pages.I found some issue which may be a bug, where indeed I was getting a false positive with the parentTextFrame technique for one item and sure enough, when I visited it in the XML Structure panel, it had a "Go to Item" menu option available.However, clicking this o

In the menu bar there are different tabs, like File, Edit, Layout, etc. When I click on File, I see the options of File - but when I want to click on one of those options, the screen automatically jumps to the tab on the left. So when I click in the menu of Layout, I go to the menu of Edit. And because of this, I can't select any options from the menus of 'Window' and 'Help'.Does anyone know what's wrong and how I can change this? Thanks!

I would like to increase the size of the quotes only using Nested Styles.This is the output I would like. It may contain more than 1 sentence.“This is a test of nested styles. Also there are multiple sentences.”I tried but it is not working. Screenshot attached.I want just the quotes to be in bigger size. I have achieved this with GREP style but client wants Nested Style.  

Ich bräuchte Hilfe. Wenn ich im Indesign Text schreiben möchte, kann ich die Leertaste für ein einfaches Leerzeichen nicht nutzen. Hier brauche ich dann immer die Hochstelltaste um ein Leerzeichen machen zu können. Das zurückstellen der Voreinstellungen hat auch nichts genutzt. So kann ich keine Texte schreiben! Kann mir bitte jemand helfen, wie ich das beheben kann? 

In Indesign, when I click on a letter, the cursor goes to the left of that letter instead of the right. This happens even if I click at the right most side of that letter. Usually, if you click on the left side of the letter, the cursor goes before it and if you click on the right side, the cursor goes after the letter. This was the case since I have been using indesign, but after update to CC2019, this problem has started.

I am trying to paste a line in arabic from a word document into indesign. In the word document it is aligned correctly right to left. When I paste it into indesign it changes the order of characters to back to front and sticks to it even when i change the character direction to right to left. All it does is that it aligns it to the left or right. But the order of digits is still back to front. I have installed the arabic version of Indesign. What else can i do? This is the example. The explamation mark should be in the begining. حقوق المرأة هي حقوق الإنسان!

Hallo Community Wir haben ein merkwürdiges Problem mit Querverweisen im InDesign. Genauer gesagt, wollen wir auf Überschriften und Bildbezeichnungen verweisen, bei denen eine Grafik im Text der Überschrift platziert ist. Es handelt sich um Bedienschritte auf einer Benutzeroberfläche bei denen auf der Tastatur einige F-Tasten gedrückt werden müssen.Wir haben für jede F-Taste ein kleines PNG-Bild erstellt, so dass die F-Tasten nicht durch Text, sondern durch ein Bild der jeweiligen Taste dargestellt werden.Dies funktioniert in den meisten Fällen ohne Probleme. Aber ..... Bei einigen Referenzen werden die Grafiken im Verweis nicht angezeigt, sondern durch Leerzeichen an der Position der Grafik ersetzt, während die meisten korrekt angezeigt werden. Alle Formate sind jedoch identisch (d.h. Absatz-, Objekt- und Grafikformate). Es gibt zudem das Problem, dass einige Verweise nicht aktualisiert werden können. Streng genommen können sie aktualisiert werden und erhalten

Is there a VS Code Extension for UXP scripting for InDesign?

I am looking for a solution for when you paste content from other documents, to allow the duplicate color swatches to not transfer over creating a messy swatch panel. It seems that even though I have the color in the document, it will add a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. version of the same color. I would like to just paste information without having all of the duplicate colors copying over. Is this possible? Thanks!

Currently the only InDesign version available for Windows on Arm devices is the Beta version 19.5. I've been using it just fine for a few weeks but I am now getting the "Your InDesign (Beta) build has expired" message and am unable to continue my work.   I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling inDesign, and also restarted my computer with no success.   How can I continue to use this product?   Device info: Microsoft Surface Pro 11 with snapdragon X Elite     <Title renamed by MOD>

Tried everything - nothing is working. Even this forum doesn't seem to work properly.To put it simple - bought and paid for a subscription but out of the blue the software locked me out with a "Cannot Connect to Creative Cloud" error. Uninstalled everything Adobe related after trying everything in troubleshooting sections. Upon reinstalling CC, managed to install InDesign, but still getting that 109 error. Error 109 and "Contact Service Support"macOS Catalina 10.15.5
