Does InDesign CC have a scratch disk?I have searched all over and can’t find this answer.I know Photoshop and Illustrators does, but I don’t see one for InDesign.

I'm looking to create book like the old Ace Doubles Science Fiction paperbacks, where there are two front covers and each book is upside-down with pages in reverse order from the other. It's reversing the pages that's the problem. Can't do it automatically in Acrobat as they've removed the Reverse Pages optuion from their Action Wizard. Is there a way to do it in InDesign?

I have a handful of RGB TIFF images placed in my InDesign layout. I open them in PhotosShop, convert them to CYMK and save them.  Then I open the layout in InDesign and I get the prompt that the images have changed.  Whether I select "Update links" or update them individually in the links pallet, the images reposition and change scale.  This never happened before CC 2019.   I checked the File Handling preferences and confirmed that the "Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking" is checked.Please help!  I have a file with over a hundred images that I would like to update without having to fix each one manually.

I use the Ctrl + Shift + Alt + U keyboard shortcut but it does not work all the time.Like, once I'm in the New document dialog box, it won't work. At least with my Canadian Multilingual keyboard mapping in Windows. I always thought it would be "nice" to see the current units being displayed somewhere in the interface? I understand that I can, to some extent, "read" the current units out of the appearance of the Rufers but it's far from ideal.  Maybe a scipt that show the current units and give a choice of units to switch to in the form of a series of vertical radio buttons? Don't even need an OK button, to speed things up.    Any help is appreciated     <Title renamed by MOD>

When starting InDesign CC2020 under Windows (22H2), the dialog for licensing the application (operation of single application in virtualized environment; without Creative Cloud Desktop App) only appears with QR code, which leads to an error message. Until recently (approx. 3 weeks ago), an input field for the Adobe ID appeared. Have any of you also had this experience and what is your workaround?   Best regardsMatteo     <Title renamed by MOD>  

I've never had this issue before. I'm taking what I think is plain text with indented paragraphs as I have done before.  When I paste into InDesign with a specific paragraph style it sometimes includes an extra tab space in the indents and other times it maintains the style set for it.  Not sure why. I never had this issue before. Some paragraphs are indenting as they should while others seem to have a tab space in addition to the indent. Crazy making.Anyone else have this experience?  Is there some trick I am missing?Thanks for your help

I can't:select multiple items with my cursor - I have to selet each individually select text certain textcopy and paste things (they paste on random other pages). Any ideas? It's pretty disastrous for my current project. It's become unusable, I'm considering ways to export the whole thing. Shame as I'd just set up a document and the update to Hide Pages is actually a great help. If only the rest worked.   

Hi,   I have the 19.5 version of InDesign. I have a document that has a mix of English and Arabic. I took the file from someone else, who is Arabic. I had to add Adobe Arabic to my fonts. Since then, the numbers in my English text are in Arabic. I need them to be in English. When I highlight the number, it doesn't say Adobe Arabic, it says the English font that I used.   Please advise on how to make the switch,   Appreciate it,   Thanks!   <Title renamed by MOD>

Hello, I will attach an example image, where I would like to know if I have any option to merge the background of the images in my catalog, directly within InDesign without needing to use Photoshop. The idea is that the edges do not appear and the images background borders blend togheter.

I have an .indcc document saved to the Cloud which I was happily editing earlier today. Now when I try to open it, either in 20.0 or Beta 20.1 InDesign crashes. It is a particular file that won't open, other files are fine. "Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InDesign to recover work in any unsaved InDesign documents." How do I get the file back up and running please? I'd be happy to upload the file here if I could find a way to grab it     <TItle renamed by MOD>

1. Things were fine until I got started on chapter 2 of the book. I couldn't find a way to start over with endnote 1. If someone has a solution, I'd love to hear it.2. The main frustration is: when I insert a new endnote, say 47, on the endnote page it inserts the number in front of the data for endnote 46, and moves the data down. Endnote 46 is still there, but has no reference information. I can cut the info and paste it back where it belongs, but InDesign just does the same thing next time - endnote 48 moves down the data from endnote 47.It doesn't matter where I put the cursor. I've tried it after the endnote information, on the following line where the new endnote will go, and (as I grew more aggravated) at random spots on the page. It simply moves down the info from the previous endnote.I have to match the endnotes with a list in Word, and am copying from Word and pasting into InDesign. It worked fine for chapter 1. I'm only a little way into chapter 2, and there are 8 chapters.D

Adobe is messing with my flow. I do newspapers in Indesign. At the start of filling in content on a newspaper I grab a range of individual word docs in the OS and drop them onto the page, rapidly click them off in a horizontal row, select them all and then apply body style with a hot key. From there I figure out where I'm going to put them and the rest of the formatting. In ID2023 they've added the maddening "feature" of popping up the gray box with a "T" in it on the bottom of any story box where the contents are longer than the box draw on placement. It goes away if the user does any click/keystroke. Clicking on the box applies an Auto Style from the ether, and opens the Styles panes. So instead of being able to smoothly go through clicks that each result in a text frame placement, I'm now having to frequently double click every time I place a longer story jsut to make the Auto Styles box go away. I'm a high actions per minute guy, and it's driving me up the wall.&nbsp

  I wanted to kindly ask. I need to create a photo book that reproduces book pages (text only) (scanned)and since they are scanned manually they all have a different inclination from each other, there is a system on indesign that allows you to do this automatically for all the pages of the book that I need to create. Thanks I just switched to indesign cs 5 today and can't find anything. Thank you<Title renamed by MOD><Personal Information removed by MOD>

Hi everyone,I’m having trouble scaling with Shift since the last update and couldn’t find any information about it. I don’t have any plugins installed.When I press Shift to scale, it works as expected, except when it encounters a guide or another element with smart guides enabled. In that case, it snaps non-proportionally to where my mouse is, instead of maintaining proportionality and snapping vertically or horizontally to the guide/element where I have the mouse.Disabling snapping and smart guides solves the issue, but it’s not a real solution because, aside from the hassle of constantly turning them on and off, I often need to scale an image proportionally while snapping one of its sides to a guide.Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is this the expected behavior, or is it a bug? Maybe it’s a new feature. In that case, is there an option to return to the previous behavior? Thanks,Martín   <Title renamed by MOD>

Quiero descargar la versión 2022 de indesign que se me ha borrado con la nueva actualización y no encuentro dónde, solo encuentro hasta la versión 19. Alguien sabe donde la puedo descragar?

Hi, On InDesign, I create two documents, A and B.On document A, I’m using the “app.activeDocument.pages[0].rectangles.add()” to create a new rectangle on the first page.In document B, I create the same rectangle using the tool (manually).I export both documents as an IDML and extract the XML files for the same spread, comparing their contents. In the IDML of document A ItemTransform of the rectangle is “1 0 0 1 5 -391” while in document B ItemTransform is “1 0 0 1 0 0”. Also in document A most of the properties like GradientFillStart, GradientStrokeStart, PathPointType, etc values for X and Y are sifted by 5 and -391.The problem is that when I’m trying to create a GradientFeather using a script providing the proper values for gradientStart, angle, length, etc the result is never correct on Document A but always ok on document B.I search by printing out all the properties for the two documents, spreads, pages, and rectangles and everything returns the same values for all the proper

Hi all I need to enter Document Titles for accessibility.It was viewing just fine on my first few documents, but is now partially hidden (it's moved upwards somehow) as per screenshot. I've reset preferences with no effect. Any clues? Thanks!

Please tell me i'm wrong, but I've looked through the "What's New" page, and watched the presentation about InDesign from Max, and for the life of me, I can't find a reason worth upgrading.  The new features seem like they're only useful for pretty niche workflows, or features that already exist in other apps more suited to those features.  It feels kind of like how Seth Meyer's describes the set up for his "Surprise Inspection" segment, the developers just pulled things from other apps to fulfill the assignment.  I can't find any info about "stability" or "performance" improvements, but so far, that would really be the only reason I can imagine upgrading for, and those improvements would have to be significant for it to be worth it.     Right now, I'm dealing with documents that crash every few mintes, and the best advice I've been given from Adobe Support is to save an IDML and/or start from scratch.  IDML doesn't help more than a little bit, and startin

Hi, Since the upgrade to V20 i'm having major issues with styles. "edit style" and "duplicate style" cause the application to hang requiring "end task" to get out. create new style seems to work ok.   This has only happened since the recent update, though i'm uncertain if i have used those commands since the update.   I have tested this on several documents in different locations and the result is the same. I'm using remote desktop with a VPN.   Is this a known issue? i havent seen it posted.   Help appreciated     <Title renamed by MOD>

I too am having link trouble after updating to InDesign Version 20 (InDesign 2025) last Tuesday or the Tuesday before that.I have tried:-relinking-Adjusting link files and relinking-Re-placing linked file (ctrl+d)-Uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign 2025-Uninstalling InDesign 2025 for version 19.5 (2024)-Making a new File in the 2025 version and copy/pasting the old assets to the new file.-Making the design from scratch with the same images (links)-Converting the file back to the 19.5 version of InDesign and relinking, re-placing, copy/pasting. None of this works.Adobe!! Please fix your software!! We have deadlines...

Hello, I'm interested to create an account with Adobe. Which specific software do you suggest for creating T-shirt designs that is user/beginner-friendly too? Also, can I sell my designs to selling platforms like Etsy, Amazon etc? And my buyers/ customers to use my designs for their physical products business like printing them on T-shirts, mugs etc (for commercial purposes)?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Newbie creating a book with InDesign, thanks for your help and patience.   The book offers 365 tips, one for each day of the year, broken down into 12 chapters. How can I get InDesign to automatically add the right tip number to the page using running headers of something? I've added page numbers, but the tip number is different as there wont be a tip number for a page that has a chapter title on it.   The book is set up with two parent pages, one double spread which has a tip on each page, and the other single spread with the chapter title.   Thanks in advance   <Title renamed by MOD>

    Hello,I need help because something is either wrong with Indesign or my settings. I can only use the Type tool and notes. I tried closing the program and reopening it. I also tried opening a new document. Please help!

Almost every move I make in Indesign 20.0, this video thing pops up and partially covers my artboard and panels. I can click "Got It," but it just keeps popping up again and again as I'm doing WORK. PLEASE tell me how to make it go away for good. Thank you.   Indesign 20.0 iMac 3.6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9 / AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB / Sonoma 14.7     <Title renamed by MOD>
