I recently updated to Indesign CC 20.0 from 19.0. I used to have this issue with CS2 but I can't remember how I fixed it. When switching to and from the text tool Indesign lags for 5-6 seconds each time. Double clicking on a text box gets the same result, as well as using ESC to exit the text box and return to the pointer tool. I'm using Windows 11. There are 13 fonts in this 26 page document, lots of links but I was not having this issue until just the other day when I updated. I have reset my preferences and that did not help.     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi,I would like to configure Adobe Indesign Server (service) so that the cache files are cleared every time Adobe InDesign Server starts up. Can this be set via a parameter? Thank you. 

I’m working with a InDesign template created in earlier versions, where the first page is an even-numbered page (page 2), with automatic page numbering. In version 21, when I place an object on page 3 (for example, an image), InDesign changes the numbering of the first page to 1 and makes it an odd-numbered page (and so on with the page numbering throughout the document); and if I try to manually reassign the number 2 to the first page, the application simply ignores it and keeps it as page 1. The only way I’ve found to keep the first page as an even number is to place it on the first page, select ‘Start page numbering at’ and assign it the number 2. But then, when I add the documents to a book, it forces me to change all the documents back to the ‘automatic numbering’ option, which slows everything down unnecessarily. Does anyone know of a way to avoid this and ensure that the pages retain the order of the template, as in previous versions?

Tengo un archivo en el que he estado trabajando, de repente se ha ido la luz y se me ha cerrado el programa en medio de un guardado, ahora me salta que el archivo esta corrupto con el siguiente mensaje: archivo.indd puede estar dañado. ¿Desea abrirlo de todas formas?. Despues de esto si le doy a OK se cierra el programa directamente, he intentado abrirlo como copia, moverlo al escritorio etc. Dejo el link a wetransfer o si no algun otro metodo.https://we.tl/t-sB3CBrUMWxgU70vN

Query: Containerizing Adobe InDesign Server on AWS EC2 Hello Team,I have a requirement related to deploying Adobe InDesign Server in a cloud environment and would appreciate guidance from the community.🔹are planning to run Adobe InDesign Server on an AWS EC2 Windows Server instance and are exploring whether it can be containerized for better deployment consistency and scalability.🔹 Key Questions Is it officially supported or recommended to install and run Adobe InDesign Server inside a container (e.g., Docker / Windows containers) on an EC2 instance? If containerization is possible: What are the recommended steps or best practices to set up InDesign Server in a containerized environment? Are there any specific prerequisites or configurations required (e.g., fonts, plugins, licensing setup)? What are the known limitations or challenges when running InDesign Server in containers, specifically regarding: Licensing compliance Performance and scalability Runtime dependencies Are

InDesign users need a way to easily export documents as print spreads (imposed from reader spreads) from the “print booklet” option. Currently I can either print to my home printer or print to postscript, but not print to pdf. Distiller is no longer up to the task of handling complex postscipt files. Print designers need a way, when print shops request it, to send these types of files. As a layout program, this feature should have been baked in from the beginning. 

NOT THAT ANYONE CARES — I know Adobe is moving fast with AI, etc. but all the new changes to InDesign in particular are totally slowing my process. Text is suddenly highlighted that never was before, command + z doesn’t always work, etc. And worst of all, Pantone Connect is useless. I’m old school. Was nearly a first-user on Macs in the ‘80s — my first was that little beige box with a B&W screen! I spend tons of time trying to figure out what to call the new issues and then search for the answers! Same with Acrobat describing what images are so that I can’t read the client comments hidden under the pop-ups. Maddening!!! 

For example:Paragraph style A inherits only certain Grep settings from paragraph style B.Or, the “Paragraph Line” setting in A inherits from B, while other settings remain unrelated to B.Currently, I usually start by basing Style A on Style B, then modify it item by item.However, sometimes when Style A is based on Style B, many things change, and you have to start over from scratch. Sometimes, cell styles and object styles also require this functionality.This is different from importing styles from another document.

I have images in frames, and the images are MUCH larger than the frames. I’d like to be able to zoom in/out of the image, numerically (e.g. via typing in a %), but have the part of the image centered in the frame remain in the center of the frame.Is that possible?thanks!

The same problem that began to occur with Illustrator and Photoshop several years back is now occuring in InDesign (main palette window moves behind other active windows when you attempt to move the window).  Not interested in work arounds and desktop viewing segmentations etc.  I want to work the old standard way. Adobe and Apple please resolve this issue!!!

Hello,I need to find tracking for each paragraph. I change tracking size inbetween paragraph it shows null(empty) in indesign but in script even the tracking value mixed, it shows 0. I need the validation through script to find which page and which paragraph tracking is mixed. then i tried textStyleRanges, through stories and texts it wont work. 

Hello, I use the INDESIGN program with the ARIAL narrow font. I cannot find the lowercase ʊ symbol to insert in the glyph list. I am also looking for a font for the ʊ symbol.

Hello, can anyone please tell me how to install  InDesign 2024 version 19.3 .My creative cloud app is not offering the option to install older versions like how they show in tutorials when i searched a solution for this issue.

So, Adobe quietly stopped supporting the stand-alone distiller app I’ve relied on for 20 years to prepare printer spreads (vs. reader spreads.) This is something I do on a daily basis but distiller continually errors out with the latest rounds of Adobe updates. I have no way to easily convert my postscript files to pdf any more within the Adobe ecosystem. This is a GREATLY OVERLOOKED issue. What is everyone using as a workaround? Are you sending your files to the printer as single pages or reader spreads and letting them deal with? Is there a script you use to impose page layout within InDesign or are you finding ways to distill .ps files outside of Adobe? Thanks for your help!

I am currently facing a compatibility issue with Adobe InDesign 2023 on my device.In order to resolve the problem, I kindly request a direct download link for the official Adobe InDesign 2023 installer, or guidance on how to properly obtain it through my Adobe account.  

It's not in The Creative Cloud anymore and I need that particular version for a Xerox plugin (VIDesign Express 18.1.0).I tried to install the latest VIDesign (18.1.3) on InDesign 2025, but it freezes on installation.

I just updated to InDesign 2026 and I'm struggling with the change to resizing split windows. When I'm in the 2-up vertical view (which I use all the time to compare documents), I used to be able to click on the space where the tabs of the windows met at the top and just drag left and right to resize.It looks like I can't do that anymore—I have to click down at the bottom of the windows and hit just the right place in order to resize them (and then it does some automatic resizing first, which is incredibly annoying). Does anyone know if it's possible to get the previous resizing ability back? The new way takes longer and is much clumsier, especially as I am constantly resizing back and forth.

I’m working on a book, 288 pages. Plenty of images, all .eps files as I’m working with spot colours for risograph printing. I’ve been working with this set up for years and I never had this issue. When I try to export the file, the app crashes, and as it took some 30 seconds before the crash I thought that the file was too heavy for my machine (Apple Silicon M1, 2021, 16BG running Tahoe 26.2 with >1TB memory available). So I started splitting the export in smaller parts. It all went ok for pages 1-49 and pages 50-99, but when I went to export pages 100-149 the app crashes, sometimes immediately, sometimes after some 10-20 seconds of exporting. I found it consistent with the first export attempts of the whole file, which occurred after some 30 seconds—maybe some file is corrupted around mid book and if I skip that batch and proceed to export pages 150-199 I might be able to isolate the error and keep exporting the book. But the same occurs to this new export attempt. Sometimes, after

It opened fine yesterday, I shut down the app. Then this morning, it just will not open,

I want to set Indesign keyboard shortcuts to conform to macOS conventions. alt-arrow : move by words  shift-alt-arrow : select by words alt-delete : remove words backwards command-arrow : move to the line extremitiesThose shortcuts are set but I can’t find a way to set the deletion to the end or the beginning of the line. Do you know where it’s located in the shortcuts table ?

I can’t figure out if it’s possible to recreate this text style. Specifically the rounded corners. I tried the Underline hack. It will highlight the text but only with a square shape. I can also create a pill shape. I would like to use a square with rounded corners.Any ideas?
