InDesign

It would be nice to have a panel, which can be opened with a shortcut, where I can manually add some frequently accessed directories.For example, I would like to have quick access to my local libraries when I need them. I don't want to keep the library file open at all times, which I think affects the speed of the software, especially since I don't use the CC cloud library.For example, I would like to have quick access to where the Grep, shortcuts are stored. I really wish Adobe had a faceplate for this.

Hi Team,  I changed my endnotes heading style to a numbered list. Previously there was the number followed by two non-breaking spaces (this is for an ebook) I want to Find: ^9^S^S   [later ^9^9] / Find Format: notehead Change to: [blank to delete the number and non breaking spaces] / Change Format: notehead-numlist   Indd is changing the style but not deleting the text number and spaces. What do I need to change? Thanks, Sid Driving: InDesign 19.5 x64 on Windows 11 Pro     <Title renamed by MOD>

Several paragraphs in the book I'm laying out will have a graphic placed between them. It will always be the same decorative graphic – I've made it into an object style, but don't see how to "insert it".  (I also may not have styled the object correctly... I want to place it with an established top and bottom margin.) Example of how it should look is attached. This should be pretty easy?– hoping you can help me out!

Hi!So what I'm trying to do is import text from Word (which has regular, bolded, and italic font styles) into InDesign without removing its formatting.I can do that first step just fine, the problem is, there are other elements of the all the text I would like to edit (size, indents, leading, tracking) which would be easiest to do by just having a preset paragraph style, however, you cannot set a paragraph style without also setting a font style which overrides the original formatting from word (converts all text to light, medium, bold, etc). Has anyone ran into a similar problem? I really don't want to manually set all the paragraph formatting everytime when there's just one thing I don't want to edit.

Hi everyone. I just discovered that I managed to not save my InDesign file after I exported it to PDF. Not even sure how this could happen, since it would seem I had to save it before exporting it. Is there any way I can retrieve or recreate the InDesign file from the exported PDF? I need the InDesign file for creating a Kindle version. Oh dear. Thanks for any advice/answers! ~Yana     <Title renamed by MOD>

We are experiencing a scary problem on some of our machines. We are using intel macs with 10.6.7.They were using InDesign CS5 (7.0.3) at the time of the problem. Both machines have been updated to 7.0.4 and have not had the problem since.However this has been a periodic error the whole time, so its not easy to replicate it...This problem is as follows.During working in InDesign it quits unexpectedly and we need to open it again.When we locate the file (on a windows server connected with smb) it has turned into a shortcut or alias witch points to nothing.The original file is nowhere to be found. Also, the file has been labeled with the red label from OSX...We managed to get the log from one of these incidents:27.05.11 13.00.11      [0x0-0x1f01f].com.adobe.InDesign[198]      Fri May 27 13:00:11 MACHINENAME Adobe InDesign CS5[198] <Error>: kCGErrorIllegalArgument: _CGSFindSharedWindow: WID 702327.05.11 13.00.11   &nbsp

The following function is supposed to copy the items on page src to page dst. That works on simple items.       function copyPageContent(src, dst) { itemsOnPage = src.pageItems; for (var e = 0; e < itemsOnPage.length; e++) { gb = itemsOnPage[e].geometricBounds; pos = [gb[1], gb[0]]; duped = itemsOnPage[e].duplicate(dst); duped.move(pos); } }       But if i have 2 Items on the page src that are linked (being src.Item-A the original and src.Item-B the link to src.Item-A), on the copied page, the newly copy dst.Item-B is still linked to the original src.Item-A on page src. I want it to be linked to the dst.Item-A on the page dst. Also, if the src.Item-B is rotated by 180° and put below the src-Item-A, its copy dst.Item-B is also rotated but put left of dst.Item-A. In other words: its right-down corner is put where its upper-left corner should be. How can I unlink dst.Item-B from src.Item-A, link it to dst.Item-A and how can I correctly position

I have used indesign for many years and never had this issue. I link pdf drawings / scans of images into my indesign document and crop to the information I want. Sometimes the information cropped out could be sensitive information we do not want to share.   Exporting the document appeared fine on my machine but when sent to an external party it appeared with the pdf images uncropped and showing additional information all over the pages.    This only happened with the pdf links.    Are there any settings that could have made this happen or what can I do to ensure it does not happen? As it appeared correct on my machine I had no idea that after export to pdf it retained the cropped information and just want to ensure I create flattened pages from now on.   Thanks!   <Title renmaed by MOD>

pessoal estou com um problema em uma página. O programa trava quando chego nela e fecha... alguém pode me ajudar

Bonjour, Je rencontre des soucis d'affichage sur indesign, quand je branche mon MacBook Pro sur mon écran en USBC ou sur une TV en HDMI tout est ok, mais quand je le débranche des écrans, mes fichiers ne sont plus visible sur mon MAcBook, j'ai un écran tout gris, malgré plusieur essais d'affichage, toujours pareil, je suis obligé de quitté Indesign et de réouvrir mon fichier.Avez vous déjà rencontré ce soucis et avez vous l'explication ou la solution ?Merci d'avance !! 

When using InDesign over the last few days, I keep getting an error message that "InDesign is unable to save this file. We tried but it appears to be damaged." This has happened on multiple files all day long and I've lost work most times. Sometimes InDesign will crash and send an error report (and then sometimes my files will be restored) other times there's nothing I can do but close the file without saving my work. It's probably happened 15 different times today on several different documents both new and old and it's getting VERY frustrating. I've had this issue before more than a year ago and it miraculously got better when there was some kind of update. I really can't work in InDesign if this continues because these files are not damaged, InDesign just has some kind of issue. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE!! Also...for the record, Adobe Rush crashes ALL the time too. Please fix your programs! 

This annoying Problem is back ! Sequoia 15.0. indesign V19.5   <Title renamed by MOD>  

InDesign does not allow you to set up a custom page size and export the PostScript unless a printer is installed. The custom size option under File > Print Booklet > Print Settings > Setup > Paper Size is greyed out. The old solution of using a specific link no longer works, as the file (ADPDF9.PPD) is no longer available for download.   https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/add-acrobat-ppd.html   Thank you,     <Title renamed by MOD>

I'm trying to resize a page (dst) to the dimensions of a master page (src), this is what finally works:       function copyPageMetrics(src, dst) { var bounds = src.bounds; dst.resize(BoundingBoxLimits.GEOMETRIC_PATH_BOUNDS, AnchorPoint.TOP_LEFT_ANCHOR, ResizeMethods.REPLACING_CURRENT_DIMENSIONS_WITH, [bounds[3]*2.8346, bounds[2]*2.8346]); }       I have the correct coordinates in bounds[3],bounds[2] (checked that with an alert()), but they didnt gave me the correct resize. To get the correct rresize, I had to multiply them with 2.8346, which is the factor of points in a mm.Why? Why dont they use the same coordinate system? Is this always the case or do I have to get a page-specific translation-factor from somewhere?<Title renamed by MOD>

Hello everyone, So I've been facing an issue for a while now with the latest version of InDesign (19.0), every time I try to export to PDF an error box saying: possible cause of failure present on spread with page number "23" ", shows up and won't allow me to export to PDF. Anyone might have a solution for this, it's really annoying. I tried so many things including deleting the page itself but the error for the same page nb. keeps appearing!! so I know It has nothing to do with the content on the specific page mentioned.HELP PLEASE!!! this is affecting my work, and thank you!   <Title renamed by MOD>

Buonasera, scrivo per sapere se sarà mai possibile l'tilizzo, la modifica e il salvataggio in contemporanea da più persone del team dello stesso file indd. Senza conflitti del programma. Sarebbe una svolta nel flusso di lavoro per collaborare attivamente ai progetti.

I found a handy javascript online for Indesign that changes the page label color to green – which is great. I often color code my pages with green or red labels to keep track of client selects and as a script I can map these commands to keyboard shortcuts. Does anyone know how to ammend the script to reset the color label to the default label color of none?: app.activeWindow.activePage.pageColor = UIColors.GREEN; 

Since the last ID upgrade, when I switch back and forth between ID and other apps, sometimes when I return to ID all my docs are blank. I've tried resizing, switching views, and assorted other jiggling. Eventually something randomely works. Just got a new Mac Studio with 64GB of RAM, so I would think this is enough to run ID.   Any ideas how to fix? Thanks, Laura   <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi,I think I'm probably missing something really obvious here but I have a PSD file set up at 900x450px at 300dpi and I have an indesign document set up 'for web' at 900x450px but when I place the photoshop file in indesign it is much smaller than the indesign document. Please can someone explain to me why? Ultimately and cancreate the whole file in Photoshop so it doesn't matter but it would be nice to understand what I am missing!Thanks

Hello,I have created a document with 2 kind of objects.1. Text2. SVGBoth are supposed to be in the same black. However,the although the SVG are in the desired black, the text is not.The SVG inherits the Black from the File and the text is set to Black (C = 0, M=0, Y=0, K=100)It looks like this... What is the Problem here and how to solve this?And why is INdesign handling the blacks differently?   <Title renamed by MOD>  

indesign, I use hyperlinks to link to other pages of the original file, but how can I pin the page to the top when I click on it?     <Title renamed by MOD>

I am creating a catalog for a retail chain. I need help with inserting photos (for photos, I have a code under which I search for images on Google Drive, download them and put them in indesign), how to speed them up so that I don't have to insert them individually. I insert the text by connecting each frame and insert excel into indesign, connect each column, copy and paste. Is it possible to achieve something like that with pictures? Thanks in advance     <Title renamed by MOD>

Kann ich irgendwo definieren, welches Zeichen eine Schrift für die Silbentrennung verwendet? Ich habe eine Schrift geladen, die den Gedanken- statt des Bindestrichs verwendet, das gibt ein unschönes Bild. Weiss jemand Rat?derecha - auf der Suche

I am unable to figure out what is happening with some of my dialog boxes that are pinned. Specifially gradient, paragraph and character boxes. They are all empty whether anything is selected or not. I have tried removing and re-pinning and that does not work either. Force quitting and restarting the app also does not work.   Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a solution? It seems to stick even with updates.   Image attached.     <Title renamed by MOD>

I know it doesn't detract from the end result.It's just uncomfortable to look at.   How do I get these lines to not show up?I need to upgrade my display card?     <Title renamed by MOD>
