I'm looking for a way to automate not just importing PDFs, but importing 2 pdfs per page while also rotating them. Example image below:The red boxes show the two different PDF pages put 2-up on Indesign page. Notice they are also rotated 90 degrees. To accomplish this the rectangle frame for each pdf needs to be set and positioned on each page, then the actual PDF needs to be positioned in that frame so everything can be read. I've done it by hand before, but there's about 160 PDF pages, so automation would be amazing.

I'm setting up a book with special divider pages (carstock instead of standard paper, protruding tabs). How do I set up those special pages? Do I submit them in a separate document?\   <Title renamed by MOD>

I am using the PlaceMultiplePagePDF script in InDesign, and it places the pages wonderfully. However, it places those pages outside of the document pages: With "facing pages" unchecked in the doc setup, with a page size of 8.5 x 11", it places each page from the 8 x 10" PDF half on / half off the page, and the placed images are 17 x 10". Why does it do this? If it's not adjustable, how can I resize all the placements at once and center them on their pages? 

I have 100's of Interactive text fields and I'd like to bypass the man hours put into naming each one individually. Is there a script for only the naming of the fields?

Hi all!   I placed a Word document into InDesign and it is not showing up on the actual document besides the first few pages. It is visible in Story Editor. I've tried creating a new document several times and it seems to be a recurring issue. Any ideas? Thank you!    <Title renamed by MOD>

I find that InDesign's EPUB export engine ignores Tabular Lining setting (for Opentype Gotham in this case). It seems that EPUB only supports one default setting as custom fonts with only tabular default, preserve this in EPUB.Any ideas on how I would preserve the tabular setting in EPUB for Gotham?Changing font is not an option.Tabular Lining is used on numbers in correctly constructed tables.   Thank you    <Title renamed by MOD>

Hello,    Mac Book Pro, Apple M1, InDesign Version 19.5(latest), no further plugins installed   I try to set a .docx or .rtf Document by CMD + D. The window to choose the document opens. I can choose it and press open. Nothing happens, I don't get the small text symbol to place the text.   I've tried it with several documents, .rtf and .docx. I've tried it with »show import options« on and off. I've already restarted my MacBoox, cleared cache, reinstalled InDesign, searched the whole Internet for solutions, nothing works.   I hope you can help mee     <Title renamed by MOD>

Banging my head on the keyboard over here. I've got a multipage PDF exported from an illustrator file with multiple artboards. Each artboard's dimensions match the InDesign document's page size, yet when I place the PDF it comes in at a tiny thubnail size and super pixelated as well despite Display Performance settings. I'm thinking it's a glitch with the multiple artboards? Any suggestions are much appreciated. 

Bonjour,Je n'arrive pas à ajuster le bloc de texte au contenu avec la police "PT sans" alors qu'il n'y pas de problème avec les autres polices. J'ai réinstallé la police sans succès.Merci de votre aide  

Hi all,   I've got an issue I'm trying to look for a fix for. I've created a file with a ToC that consists of the following hierarchy: H1 > H2 >> H3 I've set the ToC to 'Create PDF Bookmarks'.   In a few instances of the file I've got some headings as follows: H1 >> H3 >> H3>> H3 etc.   When I export the file to PDF, Acrobat takes the first H3 and makes it a H2, so it ends up like this: H1 > H2 >> H3>> H3 etc.   Without changing all the H3s to H2s where this occurs, and without having to adjust the bookmarks manually in Acrobat, is there an easy fix I'm missing such that I can make the change once in the file and have it correctly export?   Many thanks, Glynn     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hallo!Seit dem letzten Update kann ich keine Dateien mehr auf meinen externen Platten speichern, die per Kabel direkt mit meinem iMac Pro verbunden ist (LaCie 2big Dock Thunderbolt 3, 36 TB Festplatten, USB 3). Ich kann die Dateien öffnen, einmal speichern und ab dann meldet das System eine beschädigte Datei oder die Datei sei in einem anderem Programm geöffnet. Ich kann meine Dateien derzeit überhaupt nicht speichern, was ein großes Problem darstellt. Das Problem besteht nur mit InDesign 2022. Alle anderen Dateien aus den weiteren Creative Cloud Applikationen kann ich problemlos speichern. Ich bereits InDesign 22 und die Cloud deinstalliert und neu installiert. Das Problem besteht weiterhin. Gibt es hierzu irgendeine Lösung? Das wäre sehr hilfreich. Vielen Dank vorab. 

Hello,I'd like to know how to quickly switch from one document to another (from one tab to another) and if there is a keyboard shortcut in the interface of the latest version of indesign. Thank you 

This is making me crazy.   It did it on the previous version as well.     I create a document, add mail merge fields then save and merge.  No problem.  The second time I open the document and mail merge, ID crashes.   I am using Win 11, ID 2024, Tab separated values in a .txt file.     I merge to a PDF file. Any suggestions?   I do a monthly newsletter and it drives me crazy that I have to recreate the basic template each time I want to merge. 

I'm getting a print job done in China. It's white on black on one side of a plastic bag. The other side (front) is white only on the clear plastic. If outputting as PDF what should I do so the printer doesn't just see a blank page? It's text and a vector logo. Should I export the whole file as EPS?   <Title renamed by MOD>

I'm selecting a text box in the Parent page view but the option is greyed out for some reason. What gives? This page parent is linked to several pages.InDesign version 19.5. Thanks

I'm trying to export a publication from InDesign with vertical A4 pages into a PDF file with facing pages. However, the output doesn't come out as A3 landscape with two adjacent pages; instead, it places the pages side-by-side on a vertical A4, cutting off half of each on the outside. How can I make the output consist of two whole A4 pages side-by-side on a horizontal A3 sheet?     <Title renamed by MOD>

InDesign has no way of artifacting leader dots. This can only be done in PDF. Leader dots are commonly used in tables of contents to guide the reader's eye from the end of the entry to the page number. Leader dots are voiced by access technologies such as screen readers and force users with disabilities to hear, "DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT ..." If they are not artifacted. This is a painstaking process that requires InDesign users to learn PDF Remediation, a highly specialized skillset that is typically outside the role of the average Graphic Designer. Currently, the process for artifacting leader dots is to ind the first leader dot in the Tags tree. Right click on it and choose Show in Content Panel. Expand the content containers until you find the first set of leader dots. Right click on them and choose “Create Artifact.” Ignore the options panel and click “OK” to set the artifact. Repeat with all other leader dots.

I'm using Indesign because I own it on window 7.  I've been using this setup for years.  I'm working on a document that is several pages long and each page has 2 columns.  All through out the document I have photos that I've placed in the text area that has text in it..  Then I create a text box under the photo and type in the caption.  Most of the time this works perfectly, then I "group" the picture and the caption and finally set the text wrap and adjust the margins around the picture and caption.   However,  I have a picture that I've placed in a text area,  and created the text box for the caption.  When I start to type the caption into the text box, as soon as the text goes over the main text box for that column the text for the caption disappears.    If I move the grouped picture and caption off to the white board then the captions appear.   I've tried deleting the picture and caption, and replacing the picture and addi

Can internal x-refs inside footnotes work in a reflowable epub? Currently, without any changes made in Sigil, they are going to the book cover. Thanks.   <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi, I have finished an A5 booklet. My printer requests that I package everything from Indesign and they also want all images in CMYK. I have read several discussions and watched videos but still cannot find a way to do this. All my images are RGB. I know I can export a PDF and use this export to change the images but I have been unable to find anything similar in the package function that will also change the images. I get a warning triangle that the images are RGB but no way of changing them.I have spoken to my printer who suggested using assign profiles but this seems to do nothing. Any help with this appreciated. k
