Hi   Is there any way with GREP to  search the first and last characters of a line (not paragraph) as it flows in InDesign? Please see example attached.   I'm trying to locate all lines that begin with a hyphen, or terminate with "I" etc so I can reflow them for stylistic purposes, but I'm not sure if GREP can interact with the text flow in this way, and there don't seem to be any hidden characters at automatic line breaks that GREP could locate.   Again this is not about the first character in a paragraph, so '^' isn't any use here I don't think.I'm currently polishing a 400 page book whose author is a bit hyphen/en-dash crazy so having a way to automate this search woud be a lot faster and less error prone.   Is this possible?Many thanksRichard     <TIle renamed by MOD>

As you can see, the superscript (Alef) must be over the (lam), also the (damma) must be over the (tah), in both places. I get to manage that in the paste by wrong ways, but this is not the correct way. Any help?

Hello,  I have a script which can convert images to PSD from InDesign via Photoshop. Photoshop however is not able to read the image which indesign is trying to send to photoshop.  It must be something to do with the next work.  I also am not convinced that the script is able to access the output folder properly too...  To be honest I have no idea what is going on - script works fine on local but on a network the script just fails at passing the image to photoshop. It is not a privilage problem as everything the script is doing I can do by hand i.e.  read and write to the following locations.  The script funtions fine it just cannot get the file in question  Any help would be good,  Many thanks,  Smyth     function openInPhotoshopAndConvertToPSD() { // Check if Photoshop is running if (BridgeTalk.getStatus("photoshop") !== "IDLE") { alert("Photoshop is

I have a question about making a total file using Indesign and Excel. We make offers in Indesign in combination with an excelsheet. In the excelsheet is the information which we needed in Indeisgn including a link to the picture we want to include in the indesign file. Since a few months we can't combine including the pictures. Does someone know if there is a problem with Indesign, maybe an update? That it doesn't work anymore?  The problem is only with the pictures, the text we get without any problems vissable in Indesign.  I hope there is someone here who can help me.   <Title renamed by MOD>  

Noticing that the asset cloud link has the ability to redline and comment, but that the redlines do not come over in InDesign as they do when you import Adobe comments/redlines. This feature would be hugeeee for our industry.    <Title renamed by MOD>

When I insert text inside an object like a solid square block by selecting it with the Type Tool, I used to be able to double click the handles on the box to remove unwanted space. That doesn't seem to be working any more. And I'm not sure if this is related but when I go to the Object menu and select Content from the dropdown — Graphic, Text and Unassigned are all grey out. At least one of those three would be selectable at all times. I've tried resetting prefs but as usual this never seems to fix anything!   Can anyone help or has this been a intended (but very unuseful) change in InDesign.   I am using version 19.5.   <Title renamed by MOD>

I am publishing an interactive project online for a client, but also want them to be able to download it as a PDF. When I am publishing it, I select "Allow viewers to download the document as a PDF." But when I or anyone else tries to download it, it opens a page that simply says "Not Found" I've tried selecting different PDF presents in the Advanced section to see if that helps, but it doesn't. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a way to resolve it? Thanks!

Hello everyone!I have an interactive button (Button A) that appears/disappears with the click of a separate button (Button B). Button A is made up of several rectangles that are grouped and then made into a button. The document will be updated several times, so I would like to be able to add rectangles to Button A without having to redo the "button-ing" process, but I haven't figured out how to do it. Is it possible?Thank you!/Kaj

How do I make InDesign zoom action focus on the spread or page instead of focusing on the selected object? Having to deselect everything, zoom, then select again It's extremely counter-productive, knowing that zooming in/out might be the one of the most swiftly utilized functions.<Title renamed by MOD>

I need to clean up my InDesign book filen and one think I would like to do is to delete all unused styles (object, paragraph and text) in all open documents (I will ensure the document which I use as a style master will be closed, then I will synchronise all documents)?This is my idea how to clean up and also deal with figuring out which of the document still use styles which have not been grouped and I will then address these styles using the replace function.I assume it is possible to write a script doing this, but am new to scripte in InDesign (use actions and scrips more frequently in Photoshop), so would be super happy if I can get som guidance in this.

Hi,   CC 2018 Mac and Win has stopped working for. I haven't used 2018 for probably a year. I wanted to test a PlugIn in this version, it just does not want to work. InDesign > 2018 all work.   When I launch 2018 I am invited to sign in ( I am already signed in, I can use 2019 ). When I do sigin again, 2018 behaves like a trial version.   Anyone else seeing this?    Thank you.   P.   <Title renamed by MOD>

I am trying to package an InDesign file on my Macbook and move it to a Mac desktop linked to my university's printers. When I package the InDesign file, two of the fonts are protected. I have managed to evade this by outlining the fonts- however, I am unsure why this happens. I am opening this packaged file on the same Adobe account (which has an enterprise subscription and all the same activated fonts), so I am unsure why the fonts are not coming across.  Any ideas?

Trying to get the correct colors on exported PDFs both for print and for web (interactive). Once exported the colors are saturated. I've tried these solutions but nothing has changed the output:- High Quality Print, Press Quality templates- Set your Transparency Blend Space to Document RGB- Use PDF/X-4- Check Color Settings- Making a new document and adding the images after checking settings above- Uninstall and reinstall After messing around a little, I found that the exported colors come out the same as if my Color Settings > Settings was set to Emulate Adobe InDesign 2.0 CMS Off, but it is set to North America General Purpose 2.  On the screenshot: left is InDesign view + correct JPG colors, right is the exported PDF colors.

Hi all!I've recently noticed that in creating an accessible pdf, the Articles panel is giving me a little trouble. It seems that the order of objects on the Articles panel is not determining the Reading Order in PDF. All of the required checkboxes are checked, including one that used to say "Use for Reading Order in Tagged PDF" but now says "Use for Tab Order in Tagged PDF." Does the Articles tab no longer control the reading order in PDF? Is this a bug or just a feature that is no longer supported?
