Hi all.I'm really having trouble doing something bvery, very simple for some reason it just won't work for me.The issue is that I cannot reset zero point to 0-0 on top left hand corner of ANY page.ID v19.4I've tried the standard :1. "double click" to reset.2. Drag to the point I wish 0 to be.But even when I do this an image still shows co-ordinates nto "0"See screen shots below.You'll see the image location asX = 106.5mm and Y = 0This is even after I've dragged the Zero point to the desired location. It just won't work for me.As a side note, I also noticed at the same time this issue arose that when I adjust an image/text box the size increases equally on the left and right hand side of the box itself rather than the default of just expanding out to the right hand side.I'm just a bot lost tbhThanksThank you   <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi, I'd like to print these business cards with Vista Print, and I'd like to put some extra room on the edges where the picture extends so that there is no white space.  I think this is called bleed marks.  The bleed marks look good in InDesign, but then when I PDF-print them -- no matter what settings I choose! -- they do not indicate where the bleed is.  I've attached pictures of how it looks in InDesign (which I think I can send to Vista Print for them to make, cutting off the extra picture) and what it PDF-prints like -- which makes it seem as if all the extra picture is part of what I want in the card!  I hope this makes sense.....  Thank you!  Katherine   <Title renamed by Moderator>

Is there a way of pulling the original Indesign file from a Adobe Portfolio upload?Like a dumbass, I deleted the original Indesign file, so I need to recreate it. Downloading the original Indesign file would be extremely helpful. I still have all the original logos / images, however.Thanks!Here's the file, for reference: Kanika Agarwal Portfolio (adobe.com)

Bonjour à toutes et tous.J'ai un soucis que je n'arrive pas à solutionner. Je travaille avec plusieurs fichiers Indesign pour de la fusion de données avec des photos.Afin de vous expliquer au mieux mon probléme, voici un peu plus de détails :- Fichier Indesign 1 fusionner avec des photos profil RVB Adobe 1998 issu d'un fichier Indesign A- Fichier Indesign 2 fusionner avec des photos profil sRGB IEC61966-2.1 issu d'un fichier Indesign BLorsque je modifie l'espace de travail afin qu'il corresponde au profil de couleur des photos dans les onglets EditionCouleurs…Attribuer des profils…Convertir en profils…Les modifications se répercutent sur l'ensemble de mes Indesign, ce qui est fortement problématique et je n'arrive pas à savoir où se situe le probléme.Je suis sur Indesign 19.5. Merci pour votre aide !

I am using Align option to set these numbers nicely with the text. I have run into several issues. I have a larger text box for the page that is the margins. Then I have these numbers dragged in from my library. They are created in Illustrator and saved to the cloud library. It seems I can get them edge justified to the margin of the page using align but otherwise it does not seem that I am able to get align to work for me.  I would like to lay them in a more pleasing position with the text and make sure they are all properly spaced the same. I am aware of Key objects but not sure how to use this properly for this task either since I have one large text box as the page. Image of my issue attached.    <Title renamed by moderator>  

On two of our PC's InDesign feels slow/sluggish when exporting a file to either PDF or JPEG. It takes over 2 minutes before InDesign can be used again. I've tried to pinpoint the cause of the issues. The time it takes to export the file is the same if I use a networkshare or the local SSD. Both PC's have the latest version of InDesign (19.5) installed. I've followed this post to try and solve the issue but unfortunately I was unable to solve it. https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/resolve-slow-performance-and-unexpected-behavior-of-indesign/m-p/11487287#M398705   Please let me know if you require further information.   <Title renamed by moderator>

I want to have a drop shadow from a photo that only shows up on select frames and not on the background, as shown in the example below. How do I do that?

Hi there, I'm using InDesign CC. Trying to hyperlink to my LinkedIn profile. I get a red light saying the URL is not available. The irony is that when I click on the red light it jumps to my LinkedIn profile. So the URL works and is available. I can't figure out why this won't work, and the last discussion related to something like this was two years ago and involved extended character escapes (which I've tried BTW).Help!

I'm trying to create a grep string that will subscript a symbol but only after specific words and not all instances of the symbol. In the example below I want the % subscripted when used after Melon and Apple but no other use of % should be subscripted.I cant figure out what I'm doing wrong?(?<=[Grape|Orange|Apple|Bananna|Avocado|Melon|Pineapple])% 

#InDesign #typography Some times type pops out of the text frame, what is this called? Is there a way to detect or automatically fix it. Does it matter? I have looked at the app.selection[0].lines[0].endHorizontalOffset, which seems to be clipped to the text frame. It was suggested that I look at the optical settings, but these did not change the appearance. If I export the frame the type is clipped. Is this a bug? *I have a motive this question, I have a plugin that can detect this effect. But, I would prefer a script. 

I use InDesign for lots of different things, but the main thing I use it for now is being the author/editor/typsetter/graphic designer of an ~900 page textbook. It has been very painful, and required lots of advice from the experts in this forum, but I have finally got it working. While the process for naming, backup and versioning that I have adopted is specific to this unusual use case, there might be elements of it that others think worth adopting, which is why I'm posting it; your mileage may vary. I will be very interested to see the replies and the good suggestions in them for different use cases. Naming: See the above screenshot. My filenames consist of several parts. They are designed to make my life easier when I'm looking at a Windows File Explorer or equivalent file display. (I use Directory Opus instead of Windows File Explorer, it's a lovely replacement for File Explorer. The screenshot above is Directory Opus.) The parts are:Textbook Name: the textbook's title is App

I'm using WIN 11 and have just downloaded InDesign to format a book.My cursor, which works everywhere else, does NOT appear while editing, etc.If I press the CTRL button, it does indicate where the curser is located, but it is basically unusable since I can't see it to choose items.I can drop it down to the bottom tool bar and see it, but when I moving it back into the program (not just the workspace) it disappears.I am not aware of setting any particular preferences (at least yet).I could use a little help here. Allen                                      

What is the devil? After moving the vertical text box multiple times, the text box text overflowsThe version is 19.5Sometimes it happens that left-aligned becomes right-aligned.Because I'm using the grid? 

Hi everyone,Does anyone know how to prevent InDesign from splitting names that are separated by commas at the end of a line? I’ve tried a few GREP expressions, but they haven’t been entirely effective. Any suggestions?

I have picture captions which I want to format with a full stop in a paragraph style (I would prefer it to just be in the style, not actually typing it, as it is not to be used in e.g. the ToC).Can this be done? In the GREP maybe (in that case how)?

Hi all -- I have an indesign document published online because it has gifs in it. However when viewing the published link, the toolbar at the bottom of the browser window shows the page count as you change slides. Is there a way to hide the page count from that toolbar? When I am sharing the document through a zoom meeting I don't want people to know how many pages the document is total.   Alternatively, is there another way to save my document so I can present it with gifs but not published online?   Thanks!   <Title renamed by moderator>

which size is exactly same as demy size? a3?? 

I'm am working on a book cover and it's turned into a nightmare. Short story long, my former book distributer provided book cover templates created in Adobe InDesign which included crop marks and bleeds on the template. That way I knew EXACTLY where to place my title, images, and so forth because I could see where the cut off lines were. Now I work with a different distributer, and, unfortunately, their book cover template is not compatible with Adobe InDesign. So, I took the measurements from the template to create an InDesign document. The spine width is perfect, and I'm able to add the bleeds with InDesign, but NOT the crop marks. Just got my proof copy from Amazon. The title, at the top of the page, is nearly cut off. Yikes! Not having the crop marks visible on my document is a serious problem. It's my visual cue for knowing exactly where the top of my page will be will be cut off. Yeah, I get it that I can add the crop marks when I export my file. However, I need to see the printe

Is there a way to make my chapter numbers automatic when I apply the master page? For the chapter start page I have a separate master page and my Chapter number text box also inside that master page. Tried everything. But its not working. Someone please help. 

Somehow, changes have occurred in the latest versions as to how text wrap affects objects on separate layers. I used to be able to create a photo collage on a bottom layer, and then create a top layer with text wrapping around graphics only on that layer. Now it seems that text wraps around everything from top to bottom.  I understand that I can "ignore text wrap" for specific text objects, but that doesn't solve my problem. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.   <Title renamed by MOD>

I have a simple proof-of-concept document attached in which adding a footnote to the first line adds extra space below the second line if the third line is set to split columns.    Weird, huh?   Will someone take a look and tell me if this is really a bug, or if I'm hallucinating?   Thanks in advance!   <Title renamed by moderator>

I want to apply a GREP style to all occurences of "Times" where it occurs after "the" (or "The") and begins with a capital letter.As I am still new to GREP and learning (and have not come very far in this yet 😊) I would appreciate your help in formulating this.

In my linked word document I have a number of styles which also exist with the identical names in InDesign. When placing the text (and thus creating the link) I select as follows: My problem is that if I have placd the Paragraph Styles in groups, the styles are recreated as doubles when I update the word document. Does this mean it is not possible to group text styles if I want them to work with a linked word document?

I bought a HP Printer which works fine with many applications, but with InDesign, it prints just blank pages, not the document
