InDesign

Hello, I have been facing issues with the exported image in InDesign while making the Epub. The image needs to start from a new page. The image needs to flow with the content.    I have used paragraph style (inline image) and ticked the split document. But, when I view my file in Kindle Previewer (image attached) for the first time (opening) my document is coming correct. But when I close it, reopen it again. The image is stretched taking up the whole space.    I have browsed a lot of youtube videos but it is not working. Kindly help me lot.    <Title renamed by MOD>    

I am working on several similar InDesign files, each in 7 languages. The same content is in each one, including a couple hyperlinks. All of the Spanish, French, Portuguese and Russian files output correct Link tags, with the Link and Link-OBJR. The Arabic and Chinese do not output with any Link tags, only Link-OBJRs. I cannot even create a Link tag. It creates a P tag instead. I've tried on a Mac and Windows. Like I said, the Spanish, French, Portuguese and Russian files are OK. They output correctly but I can create a Link tag in them, even though I don't need to. I cannot figure out why the other files won't allow me to create a Link tag. It creates it and changes into a P tag in Acrobat. I have tried recreating the links in InDesign. I have tried removing and readding them in the PDF. I have tried looking for unmarked links. Nothing is working.

Hi,I'm trying to create an Event Listener to use in Adobe InDesign, to alert me if the document contains RGB images. I tried this, but this is not working. Can you please correct the code for me. Also I want the same listener for Illustrator as well.//DESCRIPTION: Event Listener to check if the document contains any RGB images #targetengine "save" app.addEventListener("beforeSave", function () { var doc = app.documents[0]; for (var i = 0; i < doc.allGraphics.length; i++) { try { var img = doc.allGraphics[i]; // Only check raster images (e.g., JPEG, PNG, TIFF) if (img.constructor.name === "Image") { if (img.imageColorSpace === ColorSpace.RGB) { alert("Document contains RGB image(s). Please convert them to CMYK!"); break; } } } catch (e) { // Handle errors silently } } }); 

Hi, i'm trying to use indesign beta to create pdf to indd format, but unfortunately the original pdf was created on mac and my indesign on pc doesn't open it. Is there any chance to solve this? Thanks!   <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi, I'm starting a new document, and for some reason every time I go to a different window other than inDesign, when I return to the InDesign window, my cursor has changed to the pencil symbol, with a circle with a slash through the middle. I can't edit or change anything in the document, or change the cursor back. Every time I restart, I get the regular pointer and edit options back, but the second I click on anything or switch windows, it goes back to the error pencil. I've restarted my computer three times, nothing is changing. This hasn't happened before, and I had been using the program all morning without issue. Please tell me what is happening and how I can fix this, I'm in a class and can't follow along with the instructor.

When using any Hebrew font in InDesign, the diacritics (nikuds) are displayed in their correct location. This location is set within the fonts by using OpenType features such as ccmp (for glyph substitution) and mark (for glyph positioning). InDesign recognizes and applies these features.The resulting text looks like that:I put two guides to the right to indicate the end of text.When this font is used as part of a Composite font in InDesign, the result is quite different. It seems like the ccmp feature is honored but the mark feature is not. (The first [last for non-Israelis] character on the first line is controlled with a ccmp feature to combine two characters.)Here is how the composite font looks:Notice how the diacritics shift and the length of the text increases. Some of this fluctuation can be mitigated by Diacritics Position feature in InDesign however this feature only works on a paragraph level and applies the correction to ALL

Hello, After updating the 'Test Frame Options - Gutter' in InDesign and saving the changes, InCopy fails to receive the update automatically. Additionally, InCopy does not provide a notification for us to manually synchronize the changes. We have checked the InDesign and InCopy version is align and updated. How can this issue occur, and what steps can we take to resolve it? Many Thanks       <Title renamed by MOD>    

All of a sudden, my Adobe InDesign hangs on App startup. I had been running InDesign fine on my Mac M2 Max Studio for months now, and today, it decided that it's had enough. I am on Mac OS Sonoma 14.5 (latest version). I've tried the following today, but after launching InDesign, It repeatedly hangs at "starting up panels."  -- Removed the App preferences by Cmnd-Opt-Control-Shift launching -- Deleted existing InDesign app using the CC app -- Ran Cocktail 17.5 to run all the latest clean cache scripts -- Reinstalled the latest version of InDesign (19.5.0.84) from the CC App Still no joy.

I am working on a document which requires translating from English to Japanese. Can I do this in InDesign to include the Japanese characters. If so , how?

Hello there!I'm working on a document that needs to be accessible, and we have a long table that flows across multiple pages. On other shorter tables (2 pages), I just include a simple row at the end of the first part of the table that says "Continues on the next page" and use a hyperlink destination to link it, nothing too complex.But on this longer table, I was wondering if I could use a footer instead (so it will automatically place this extra row at the end of each page), and have it hyperlink automatically to the next page where the table continues? Is that somehow possible? I know how to set the table footer, I'm just curious about the automatic/dynamic hyperlink part.Thank you in advance!

Hi, I want to develop a website that uses Adobe Indesign to sync data in real time. I don't know where I should begin. What should I study? How do I connect my website to Adobe InDesign? please advise me 

I am trying to make a script to list all the glyphs by their names or IDs and their counts in a document. The glyphs should be listed by their names or IDs (not by Unicode) as each Unicode character has several alternate shapes and I want to get result for each and every alternate shape. I have tried but in vain. Here is my script that I am working on. // Get the active document var doc = app.activeDocument; // Define an object to store the glyph name counts var glyphCounts = {}; // Define the output file path var outputFile = File("~/Desktop/GlyphCount.txt"); outputFile.open("w"); // Write the initial line to the file outputFile.writeln("Glyph Counts for the font: Arabic Font 1"); // Function to process characters and count glyphs function countGlyphs(character) { try { // Check if the character has glyphs if (character.hasOwnProperty('glyphs') && character.glyphs.length > 0) { var glyph = character.glyphs[0]; // Get the first glyph

Oi, pessoal! Estou com um problema ao exportar meu arquivo no InDesign. Estou visualizando as páginas como páginas duplas, e as sangrias estão configuradas corretamente. Porém, ao exportar o PDF com páginas separadas, parte da sangria da página esquerda aparece na direita (e vice-versa), fazendo com que o conteúdo da sangria "ultrapasse" o meio das páginas.Alguém sabe como configurar corretamente a sangria para evitar essa sobreposição e exportar as páginas separadamente sem esse problema? Qual seria a maneira correta de configurar e fechar o arquivo para evitar essa confusão na sangria entre páginas opostas emandar pra grafica sem erros?

Hello!   I am trying to create a 20 page booklet with over 1,000 addresses to merge onto the back. Each booklet needs to be a separate record. When I go to merge, it tells me there's overset text and only shows me one record. How do I fix this issue?   Thank you!   <Title renamed by MOD>

Hello everyone I am an IT tech and I changed one of the students Indesign to Spanish by going into the file and chaning the language on the Workspaces and Shortcuts folder. A while later after the student was working he is unable to click on anything in InDesign but can click fine on any other program. Students are on MACs. Any suggestions I would greatly appreciate. <Title renamed by MOD>

Good morning, I recently switched to macOS with a MacBook M3 Pro, and I'm experiencing terrible performance when certain fonts are used in my documents, like this one: https://www.dafont.com/hey-october.font. I understand it's not a simple font and is likely resource-intensive, but I never had any issues on my less powerful Windows PC. So, I'm wondering what my options are. Is there a setting I can change in InDesign to fix the issue? (I've tried the most common solutions.) Or is there a tool that could make the font less heavy? I installed the trial version of Fontalb, which has an option to simplify or clean the font, but it hasn't helped. Unfortunately, I can't change the font because it's used throughout the entire document. Thank you very much for your help.     <Title renamed by MOD>  

Hi,   I'm working with a student on layouting a scholarly journal and we keep running in the same issue: when importaing a word document and applying a paragraph style, the endnotes retain the original font choice from Word and don't get updated with the font set in the pargraph style. When I clear overrides, we get the paragraph style font but also lose italics, so that's not a feasible option. This appears to only be an issue in endnotes. It also happens when endnotes are imported as static text.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hallo zusammen   in InDesign habe ich ein Portfolio (DIN A4, 34 Druckbögen) erstellt. Die Inhalte sind unifarbene Füllflächen, Textelemente, Planzeichnungen (PDF) und Bildmaterial (JPG). Wenn ich dieses ohne weitere Einstellungen als PDF exportiere erhalte ich ein Dokument mit 130 MB. Mit den Feineinstellungen, wie bikubische Neuberechnung der Inhalte oder generelle dpi-Dichte kenne ich mich nicht sehr gut aus.   So bin ich auf der Suche nach Tipps zur generellen Einstellung im PDF-export, welche helfen, die Dateigröße etwas geringer zu halten, die Qualität der Inhalte des Portfolios allerdings nicht gänzlich leiden lassen.   english: Hello everyone In InDesign I have created a portfolio (DIN A4, 34 sheets).

Thanks to everyone who posts here.  I've found a wealth of information.  Thanks to NitroPress for the step-by-step tutorial and helpful book. After reading these threads and much experimentation, I was able to get a full-screen image to acceptably display in the Kindle Previewer for the phone, tablet, and Kindle on portrait view.  HOWEVER, when I change to landscape view, the image gets cropped rather than resized.   There must be a way to do this since InDesign exports the cover page correctly, i.e. it shows the image as big as it can given the current screen orientation.  Anyone know the setting or exact CSS code I need to change to have the image resize for landscape mode.  See screenshots.

Hi there, First of all, apologies if this has already been asked (checked but couldn't find anything similar). I am trying to export an Ingram cover template in INDD to png, pdf or jpg with all the blue and pink areas marked as Indesign displays them on Normal view. I can only get it to export the Preview version, that is, the white with the crop marks and little else. I have checked the export options to see if I could change the view I want exported, but I cannot find it. I have previously worked with Ingram templates in PNG because they are more PS-friendly to do heavy work on images, so I guess that means there must be a way to get Indesign to export the Normal view. Any idea? Thanks!   <Title renamed by MOD>

I'm making a lot of personalisation to invitations. Few days ago I updated Indesign to 2019 version and it started a big problem with data merge. I'm creating data in excel and it was saved as a tab-delimited txt file. When I do the data merge on pages with comma it only shows part of text before comma... I tried saving with quotation marks and it didn't change anything.How can I solve this problem?for example:data looks like this:saved to tab-delimited txt file and after data mege I go file like this:

Hi,    I've exported my PDF from Indesign and sent it by email  When i look at the preview in the email, some pictures and icons have been replaced by a white box or have been shown in a black backgroud   But when i download the PDF and open it, all the pictures/icons look normal.    What's wrong with the preview please ?    I saw that for the 3 that are problematic, they all have the brown box in Indesign but all the others don't...     <Title renamed by MOD>
