InDesign

I'm having this 'here we go again' feeling, I've just encountered a major problem for my web-app business with Publish Online which is great when it works, but upon opening one of my client's web-apps, I discovered to my horror that there's now a gap all the way round the app, effectively shrinking the highly optimised layout to the point of ruining it on a smaller smart phone.Also, again to my horror, links aren't functioning, as well as swiping being disabled!What's really odd is that the same publish online document already open in my mobile from yesterday works fine and links are all OK?

I've recently had an issue working in Indesign and exporting an interactive PDF where some colours in the document change/go missing. The document is in RGB and created for use as an interactive planner used in an annotation app.   In indesign the colours are great, once exported and opened in Acrobat, the colours are great but when uploaded into Goodnotes, or simply opening the PDF on my iPhone, the colours change...   Would appreciate any advice on this issue!

Every time I am trying to open indesign documents, use indesign and/or quit indesign the same message pops up " Cannot handle the request because a modal dialog or alert is active". I have no clue what to do and am very desperate ! please help

Hi to the whole community.I have a lot of very similar documents with fields that I have tried format with the Indesing "Find/Change List" script, however I do that in some cases work but other cases don't.I attach the InDesign document and FindChangeList file with some examples.I attached two files (InDesign with some text and the .txt files with the examples of grep find/appliedParagrpahStyle that work and those that don't work).In the .txt file you can see //It works very well and //But the others such as chapter, section and others do not work.Can anyone help me?I am very grateful for that.

hi, I don't understand why InDesign doesn't offer "target: blank" to open a new page in the "hyperlink / url" function? Can someone tell me why this simple little checkbox is not present (and it could make our lives easier)? Thanks!   <Title renamed by MOD>

Dear people i can't seem to find this issue anywhere else. Maybe I overlooked it but for an assignment I need this to be finished ASAP. I have this design here. and as you can tell i have the text form around the letters. but for some reasons there is like these bigger gaps inbetween and I can't seem to fix them. It's not done with tab, not too many space bar ticks either. it's just this weird gaps. Earlier it also had issue with moving text when i would make the text box smaller or bigger. to where it would cut out the copied text in general instead of just the few words that wouldn't fit. could someone help a student out here!??   <Title renamed by MOD>  

I need a serif font with a glyph for the Latin aa (shown above). I placed a Word doc into InDesign with the text in Times New Roman. The glyph displays when I view the source doc in Word but not when I place the text in InDesign. I tried entering the Unicode (U+A733) but still got the missing glyph. Searching the Glyphs Panel with the code doesn't find it either. Thanks in advance for any help!         <Titile renamed by MOD>

Hi, Im doing a script that ends up with images loaded in the place gun. Is there a way to only enable the "grid-tool" with the script, so you dont need to press cmd+shift when placing the images on the page?

Graphic Design teacher here (high school). One of my 29 students cannot create a new file or open any existing files saved to his InDesign account. All students are working with me step-by-step on the same version of InDesign (no updates) and same iMac computers and for some reason, just one student's is giving him this error message when he clicks "Create" on a new file, or tries to open an existing file:"No content collected. Collect page item(s) using the Content Collector tool, then place them using the Content Placer tool." We've never even touched the Content Collector tools as the students are just learning to use InDesign for the first time together.Their iMacs are running Sonoma 14.6.1, InDesign Version 19.5 via Creative Cloud for K12 schools.  Thanks!       <Title renamed by MOD>

Olá, Estou a criar um catálogo onde tenho de copiar e editar muitas tabelas para as formatar de novo. Nas linhas, tenho de selecionar e escrever manualmente o tamanho que pretendo. Há forma de criar um estilo ou regra e não ter de estar sempre a escrever a medida?   

My data file is importing perfectly (no errors), including images, however, when I try to Create a Merged Document, nothing happens. Any ideas?   <Title renamed by MOD>

I'm not sure what's going on but when opening Indesign 2024 now he top menu where you go File, Save has disappeared and I can't see how to get it back. Does anyone have a solution for this please?

I was curious if there was a way to "unlink" certain elements in the table of contents. For example, I am using the TOC to set up my table of contents and have the elements I want linked shown up in a highlighted yellow, and the ones that are not linked are in white without pages numbers. (The ones in white are hidden text on a page)   When I export to a PDF, they are all linked. Is there a way to turn off for a specific paragraph style or somewhere in the TOC to tell it to NOT link for those not hightlighted?    My client wants the table of contents to include all these standards in order, with the ones in yellow going to her specific document as an interactive PDF. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!       <Title renamed by MOD>

How is it that this feature isn't available?? <Title renamed by MOD>

Ich kann in Indesign keine Linien zeichnen, es entstehen immer geschlossene Objekte. Wie kann ich das ändern?

Hi,   Does anyone know if there is a way to restart footnotes on every page? I have a client who wants to use astericks, but I don't want to have them number for the whole book, but rather only for each page. I don't like the look of having multiple astericks on one footnote (********* as an example). There are max 2-3 on each page, so I'd rather they be labelled *, **, ***.  Hopefully this makes sense! Thanks in advance.     <Title renamed by MOD>

HelloI need to generate an index on 600 pages with 6000 entries... They have been imported from a word file. The index cannot be generated because of “incorrect characters”. But I don't know which ones? Can you help me? Many thanks   <Title renamed by MOD>

In der Seitenpalette wird immer eine Seite übergangen, wenn mit Shift und Pfeiltaste auf die nächste Seite getippt wird.

Hello all,I open an older version indesign document in 2019, and try to convert text to outlines, and it deforms, changes the adjustments of the text, changes the text frame width, leaving the outlined text with kerning errors. I have checked the fonts for any error, they seem to be fine. Anyone having the same problem?[Here is the list of all Adobe forums... https://forums.adobe.com/welcome][Moved from generic Cloud/Setup forum to the specific Program forum... Mod]

Hello everyone,I have a stupid question: until some time ago we were still working with Indesign 2023 on several computers because it went well.A few weeks ago, we loaded the update to ID 2024. This is also going so far, only one thing is annoying: with ID 2023 and also with all versions before, you could scale the screen view with "Command-Spacebar" and then a rubber band appeared, which covered the scaling range. With ID 2024, the rubber band is no longer present at "Command-Spacebar", but the screen scales immediately. For the rubber band, you now have to add the shift key to get this function. That's annoying!Is it possible to change this somewhere?Thank you, mac.friend   <Title renamed by MOD>

Hallo zusammen,InDesign aus der Creative Cloud läuft auf MacMini problemlos, jedoch seit heute nicht mehr auf dem PC. Dort zieht das Wartezeichen ewige Runden und blockiert das Programm selbst, aber auch andere Programme auf dem Rechner. Egal, ob man InDesign aus einem Dokument startet oder aus der CC. Was tun?

Hi everyone Is it possible to replace all incidents of a swatch, eg. C40 M40 Y80 K0 (or Pantone for that matter) to another, eg.C25 M35 Y65 K5 when exporting a PDF without doing the change in the actual document?   Would love to hear your experiences, thanks     <Title renamed by MOD>

I have a document that includes long lists of names, many of which are followed by words in parentheses that need to have a certain character style applied (but the parentheses remain unstyled). Several years ago I asked if there is a GREP search that can accomplish this, and I received an answer from Nigel Chapman that worked: Because you want to exclude the brackets from the matched string, you need to use look-behind and look-ahead. It isn't pretty. Search for(?<=\()[^)]+(?=\))Set the replacement to$0and set the Change Format to your character style. It doesn't seem to be working now. Should this still accomplish what I need, or is there a change to the Find or Change To strings I need to make? Mac OS 12.4InDesign 17.3 Thanks

I've read thru the threads, tried File>New then Place>file and I get this error message.  Suggestions?     <Title renamed by MOD>

I am creating an interactive pdf. On one page I would like a reader to be able to use a slider (or a good alternative) to view and move between 4 images of a single building. The building looks new and the gradually becomes older and more overgrown.  I simply have 4 photoshopped images which show the building looking more and more overgrown. So I would like the reader to be able to move the slider backwards and forwards and watch the building change in age. Is this interactivity possible using Indesign? Thanks for any help.
