InDesign

Our use case is to emboss Braille characters on a business card (hinting to a QR code for vcard download, as our blind colleague suggested).Using the Unicode code chart (Braille Patterns - Wikipedia), I searched in Windows' character map (thus making sure that the font actually contains Braille characters ... Myriad Pro seemed like a safe guess anyways).But the characters copied that way won't show in InDesign (neither in Illustrator). Any font is just displaying boxes.Cross-checking here from the clipboard: ⠟⠗Any suggestions?

Hallo zusammen, in inDesign habe ich ein Portfolio (44 Seiten, DIN A4) erstellt, welches ich selbst binden möchte (Ausschuss auf DIN A3 Druckbögen, je Heft 2 Druckbögen, doppelseitig bedruckt). Unter Mac OS gibt es zwar die Möglichkeit die Datei als Broschüre zu exportieren, allerdings kann ich diese dann mit der richtigen Reihenfolge für eine Bindung nicht als PDF speichern, um sie zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt auszudrucken. Wie erhalte ich die Datei als PDF in der richtigen Reihenfolge der Seiten?  english:Hello everyone,In inDesign I have created a portfolio (44 pages, DIN A4), which I would like to bind myself (export on DIN A3 printed sheets, 2 printed sheets per issue, printed on both sides).Under Mac OS there is the possibility to export the file as a brochure, but I can then not save it as a PDF with the correct order for a binding in order to print it out later.How do I get the file as a PDF in the correct order of the pages?

Bonjour à tous et à toutes,je viens de passer au Système MONTEREY.Hier une installation Adobe Acrobat m'a empêché d'éteindre mon MAC.J'ai donc attendu une vingtaine de minutes, puis j'ai vérifié que toutes mes applis étaient bien à jour (dont Acrobat) sur Creative Cloud (Ce qui était le cas).J'ai donc quitté l'installation et éteind mon MAC.À l'ouverture ce matin, et alors que tous mes liens sont bien présents, lorsque j'ouvre un fichier Indesign afin de générer un PDF, une boite de Dialogue m'indique “Ce document contient des liens vers des fichiers et des URL qui ne sont pas accessible”… ensuite s'ouvre la fenêtre suivante avec “1 problème (1 échec) a été détecté avec les tâches en arrière-plan” / “Impossible d'exporter le fichier PDF”.J'ai désinstallé toute la suite ADOBE ainsi que CREATIVE CLOUD en nettoyant tous les Cookies/Prefs et autres fichiers parasites… j'ai tout réinstallé et le même souci revient. Incompréhensible !Merci d'avance si quelqu'un peut me trouver une solution…B

Hi, I like to know what applicaitons I should use if I want to createa simple product catalgoue which is showcased either on touch screen displayor iPad at trade show. Am I able to use InDesign to do that? Some trade show exhibitors use iPad to display such product informaiton.If InDesign is able to do that to diplay, to browse and to play video, that will be good.Just wonder what file format will it be exported to be used on iPad. If I want that catalgoue to be used on a Touch screen display, will ID export a fileto interactive PDF? Thanks in advance.

I have an issue with a script I’m trying to develop. I’m using a third party app that allows the client to update tables, I import their changes into Indesign and then charts will get updated based on the updated tables. I have tried some event listeners to see what I would get. When I import the updates from the client an afterPlace is fired for each table that gets updated, also an afterImport would do the same. My issue is that I have no way of knowing when there are no more imports coming so I can begin the next part of the script, is there anything I can do?Thank youAlex

Hello,I have a document, in which footnote text is typed after the refrence text in curly braces like so:Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet {consectetur adipiscing elit}. Etiam condimentum purus nec lobortis hendrerit. Praesent vitae velit dictum, congue sapien et, vehicula velit. Aliquam a sapien {turpis}. Ut placerat nulla velit, sit amet dictum velit lobortis sed. Suspendisse efficitur finibus massa ut sagittis. Morbi ac mauris nunc. Vestibulum blandit eros ut fermentum dignissim. Aliquam viverra mattis orci. Aenean vehicula sollicitudin neque, quis feugiat odio sagittis in. Etiam tincidunt {sem nec orci ultricies semper}. Etiam consequat nulla non metus euismod, vel elementum turpis elementum. I want to extract the text inside curly braces and move the text to footnotes. Please suggest a solution.Thanks and regards.

I'm using cross references in my productions since way back and it has always worked out with no problems. Now I seem to encountered a problem that I can't solve. Picture no 1. Here I've entered the page reference by hand (the blue figure 60). Picture no 2. Here I'm using cross reference tool and just applying it for the creating the page ref figure (the black figure 60). When using cross reference tool the figure jumps over to the next line. I have to decrease spacing to like -40 for the whole sentence to make it come back on the same line again. And that is not an option... Problem occours in both in 16.4 version (2021) and 17.2 (2022). Apple M1. Mac OS 12.3.1.Anyone got a clue?

I have built a paragraph style with a drop cap and a nested line style with 1 line of small caps. However, when I try to apply this style, it only works on one text box I've created. The other text boxes throughout the document are only appyling the drop cap, and not the small caps nested line style.   I have reset the style and started from scratch multiple times, and it continues to only work once. What variables could be causing this?   Attached are the paragraph and character style settings, and the two different results.      <Title renamed by MOD>

This is my first time using a Book file, and I'm creating a digital planner. I have inserted text frame hyperlinks for each week and date. However, when I move a page within the same document, the hyperlinks do not update automatically. From what I understand, when moving a page to a different position, the hyperlinks should automatically update, but this is not happening with the Book file.   For example, I have already inserted a text frame link to February 1 on "January.indd" file, and the destination is set to "February.indd" and page "Feb1."   However, when I go to the "February.indd" file and move the "Feb1" page to the last page of the document, on the "January.indd" file, the hyperlink destination doesn't update and links to the wrong page.         Is there any way to fix this? How can I rearrange pages within the document while keeping the hyperlinks intact?     <Title renamed by MOD>

I have an image of the state of Washington.  I want to export it to a PDF on a website.  I want to display alt text for each county on the map as the reader's cursor passes over it.  I have tried several options such as putting placeholder frames on a separate layer.  Also tried various print settings.searched web forums but all only refer to placing one alt text on one image.  Its hard to believe no one else has tried to do this.I'm using Adobe CC on a Win 10 PC.

I am having a very serious issue with InDesign, and I'm trying to reach tech support. I go to the chat option as my problem is very, very complicated.  I jump through all the hoops to get past the robot, and then I wait, and I wait for an agent to come online. Then the robot ENDS the conversation BEFORE an agent ever joins the chat. So I give them a one out of five star feedback, and then I have to start all over again, and it's later, rinse, repeat. No live agent EVER comes online, and the robot ends the chat.    I get it. Adobe doesn't care! However, this issue is a very big deal to me, becuasue until this issue is fixed I am out of business.   Again my problem is COMPLICTED. It requires a one-on-one session to fix. Reading an artile will not fix it. So what is going on with the chat?   Thank you for your rime.  Gayle M     What is going on here.My issue is COMPLICATED. Reading an article WILL NOT fix this issue. I need help from a LIVE tech su

In earlier versions of InDesign you could select and object and move it when the red bounding box appeared and you could see the little "move" icon.  Now, I have a difficult time moving anything around on my page.  The program wants me to relink to the image.  So, I hid that function but I'm still having trouble.  Sometimes, when you select an item to move, the blue bounding box appears.  I rarely use that box!  I just need to know what I need to do to move items easily again.  I spent about 5 minutes just trying to move a few images on the page and that's pretty frustrating!  Thanks, Chappy   <Title renamed by MOD>

Ok, this is lots of code for a task that should be simple but I didnt write the API :@This script copies every item on a src-page to a dst-page and doesnt care if one of them is a master-page. I had to write my own map for that and I'm just missing a tiny bit now: placement. If the original item is a link, I wanted to duplicate the original linked item and link that to the dupe instead. That works now, but the return of contentPlace() seems to be no item and in the API (https://www.indesignjs.de/) I dont find a return Type mentioned.Also, for some reasons that elude my, orig.remove() does not work and yields the error:Error Number 1Error string remove.WTF?    /* Ancient Adobe-version has no Map() -.- */ function Map() { this.keys = Array(); this.values = Array(); this.set = function(key, value) { idx = this.getKeyIdx(key, true); this.values[idx] = value; }; this.getKeyIdx = function(key, create) { for (var i = 0; i< this.keys.length; i++) { if (this

Hello,I am trying to find an easy way to add revision bars (or change bars) to InDesign documents. Typically, in aircraft manufacturer documents, a thin revision bar appears in the margins to indicate that there has been a technical change since the previous version of that document. InDesign does not currently have a feature that will create these automatically. It does have a very limited Track Changes feature, but it is only usable in Story Editor. There are a couple plug ins (Kerniff Publishing Edit Marks and CtrlSoftware's CtrlChanges) out there, but I am not confident in these as a solution due to the high cost for singular licenses. I am also not sure that they would be any more efficient than doing it manually (drawing a vertical line and applying an object style that would place it in the margins with the desired attributes). The problem with this is the chance of user error is high, especially if a document goes through multiple iterations, complex revisions involving im

I'm trying to make a table with cross references to notes for accessibility so I've created text anchors at the beginning of the paragraph for the 4 notes under the table that begin with numbers. Then I created a cross referent for the first note after "Uncut" in the 3rd row of the 2nd column. After that when I try to make another cross reference by moving my cursor after "PC" in the 3rd row of the 3rd column, as soon as I make a new cross reference its changing the first one to match the new one as well.   Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong to cause making a second cross reference to change the first?

I updated to InDesign 2021 (16), but have left 2020 intact. Now I cannot change the default program in Windows 10. The program does not show up in the "Default apps", and even if I right click and choose the correct file, it does not register. I have to open 2021 and then use the "open file" option. There is no way to click on an InDesign file and have it default to 2021.

I am having difficulty downloading two different versions of Indesign. I need to have Indesign 19.1 and 19.5. Everytime I install Indesign 19.1 it replaces Indesign 19.5 and vice versa. The files I have only allow to be open on Indesign 19.1.      <Title renamed by MOD>

Hallo, nach einem Windows-Update ist meine gespeicherte Bilbliothek (Creative cloud Librarie) nicht mehr zu finden. Die ganzen hinterlegten Daten sind weg und ich müsste sie nun wieder langwierig anlegen.Weiß jemand wo ich meine Bibliothek wiederfinde bzw. wie ich sie wieder aktivieren kann?  

Indesign-Dateien sind schreibgeschützt beim Öffnen (Server). Die temporäre Datei bildet sich kurz und verschwindet dann wieder. Ab diesem Moment ist die Datei schreibgeschützt.  2 Kollegen von mir haben das Problem, ich jedoch nicht.Hat jemand eine Lösung?

Hello.   I have a macbook pro 36 g memory OS sonoma 14,4   Across the board I am having problems with adobe and strange problems. However in Indesign I cannot zoom in I have always used Command + ( I have read it is command =, which will bring me to 100 % but no further) I can zoom out without problem command- but continually need to select the magnifying glass to zoom in. It is extremely annoying. I have seen other threads but the solutions have not worked for me.   <Title renamed by MOD>

I have a piece of text in the font Futura PT, but it seems that it can't handle punctuation marks? When I type a diaeresis or an accent aigu or any other, there comes a little colored box instead off ë or é or û. Does anyone knows what's the problem?     <Title renamed by MOD>

I just started getting the following error message below when trying to export and interactive pdf.I am running version 18.1 x 64.I am not sure when this started because I have not exported from this document for about a month. I reset my InDesign preferences and I still get the error message.I can get past the message by clicking on “OK” and export the pdf.However, I would like to resolve the issue. It seems to be with just this one document. The reason I say this is because I have another interactive document that I can export to pdf within out getting this error message.Has anyone else had this or know how to resolve it. Here is the error message.This document contains links to files/url(s) that are not accessible.Please check your network connectivity of the original source of content.

After updating my Indesign to 2022 I have been having a nagging issue opening certain files and also packaging the file and PDF's. When I try to save a PDF or package a file that has no "errors", I am prompted with "This document contains links to files/URL(s) that are not accessible. Please check your network connectivity or the original source of content." When I go through the document, the images saved locally show up as grey boxes. See images attached For context everything is stored locally on my laptop, none of the Indesign files or images are stored on a cloud or on a server. Up until today I was running MacOS Big Sur, but updated to the latest OS Monterey 12.3.1
