InDesign

I have tried many different things to solve this problem that I have found in threads in this community. I tired to go back to 2021 version but it still crashes on launch. Please help if possible. See below for the crash report.

Hey liebe Community, ich habe folgendes Problem auf die ich bis jetzt noch keine Lösung gefunden habe. Und zwar habe ich in meinem Projekt folgende doppelseitige Musterseite angelegt (siehe Screenshot): Das sind jeweils 2 Titelseiten einmal für die linke und einmal für die rechte Seite die in ganzen Dokument mehrmals vorkommen. Allerdings kommen diese Seiten nicht zusammen sondern nur einzeln vor. Der Gedanke hier war, dass ich egal ob die Titelseite links oder rechts ausfällt, für beide Varianten bereits die entsprechende Musterseite habe. Zusätzlich sollte diese Musterseite bei hinzufügen von weiteren Seiten sich entsprechend automatisch anpassen ohne dass ich diese nochmal neu zuweisen muss. Doch gibt es folgendes Problem:  Sobald ich eine der Musterseiten auf bspw. die rechte Seite anwenden will aber auf der linken Seite nicht, wird mir dies trotzdem getan (siehe Screenshot):Das sollte nicht so sein. Hier soll die Titelseite (Musterseite  A) nur rechts darg

Hello everyone,I'm working on a large catalog in Adobe InDesign that contains numerous tables, and I need to export all of these tables into optimized and formatted CSV file. Given the volume of tables, doing this manually is not feasible.I’m looking for a way to automate this process using a batch script. Ideally, the script should:Identify and export all tables in the InDesign document.Ensure the CSV files are well-formatted and optimized.Handle multiple tables efficiently within the same document.Has anyone tackled a similar task or could provide guidance or a sample script to achieve this? Any help or pointers to relevant resources would be greatly appreciated!Thank you in advance for your assistance!Best regards, 

I'm using InDesign for Windows v.19.01. I'm trying to copy and paste a button, but when I do, the new button doesn't retain the action settings from the original one. I found some info online that mentioned using ALT + drag, but that doesn't seem to work, either. I also searched the forums, but could only find results that suggested the same thing.

Hi all,I have two seperate plugins which is published by my company. What I simply need is to put our help links in the order ofHelp -> My company |-> Plugin 1 Name -> Everything related to Plugin 1                                       |-> Plugin 2 Name -> Everything related to Plugin 2We are currently doing all these menu operations using "iMenuManager" in the SDK with addMenuitem and removeMenuitem etc. But as the menu paths are suppose to be in a PMString like "Main:&Help:My company:Plugin 1 Name:Everything related to Plugin 1", both of our products make their own entries for "My Company" menu item. (As they come from seperate code bases and are seperate plugins) So my menu looks like the below example instead of the above illustration that I have mentionedHelp -> |-> My company -> Plugin 1 Name -> Everything related to Plugin 1    &

I updated to Adobe Indesign 2024 this morning and now cannot save over my Indesign files that were created with 2023 version. Every time I try to save over I get an error message that it is damaged. If I save under a new name it saves fine, but we rely on overwriting/updating files that are made in different departments across the company and it is a real drag on workflow to go in, delete the old file and then rename the newer file.  We have uninstalled and reinstalled several times as well as restarting the computers. Any suggestions would be very helpful. 

How to turn off the outline in current versions of id? In v18 there was no such problem at startup. Now every time it opens and the outline is set to 1 point.

Hallo, ich habe ein Darstellungsproblem in InDesign in der Überdruckenvorschau: Die HKS-Farben werden hier nicht richtig angezeigt. Hat jemand eine Idee, was ich machen kann, damit die Farben richtig (so wie in der Farbpalette) angzeigt werden? Bei deaktivierter Überdruckenvorschau werden sie richtig dargestellt. Unten ein Screenshot mit dem ausgewählten, falsch dargestellten Objekt und den Farbeinstellungen von InDesign:

Hi Community, Someone help me link the TOC numbers to the corresponding set page. Usually, in our process we will have a PDF with different set pages(like Set 1, 2, 3....) attached and also will have the TOC(set numbers) for the same sets, we manually link each set number in the Table of Contents (TOC). Since the set numbers in the TOC can appear on multiple pages, each occurrence must be linked individually. Numbers in the above TOC are set numbers, we will have the set pages in the same PDF, and we have to link each set number manually.I want any script that can link them automatically or any feature that helps to create the link.

Hi there, Essentially my epub interactivity preview window, media palette, and publish online window freeze/show up only gray/unresponsive. I've seen others have the same issue some outlined here here and here. I tried to follow some of the steps in the replies to previous posts, specifically deleting/renaming some folders but those folders do not exist within my Library > Adobe folders (images below). The only fix that ~sometimes~ works (not always) is a complete restart - it has to be done multiple times. Deleting preferences helps short term, but the issue always arises again after a few previews. I also have uninstalled Indesign more times than I can count and again, eventually the issue comes back. It's not the file, because it has happened with different projects and some of my work colleagues have had the same issue as well and as stated, others within this forum have had the same problem. It's so frustrating and I don't know what else to do.  I'

I have a database hosted on google workspace. I was hoping to use teh data there to generate PDFs for me - basically catalogs. I looked around and was shocked at how little support there is for google drive from indesign and almost every plugin available. Only solution i found was easy catalog which I'm trying now. However, my database has thumbnail images and easy catalog can not interact with them. Since I have a pretty structured image filenaming, I figured I could use an indesign script to just populate the catalog with teh full size images.I think I ahve it mostly sorted, however the script is hitting a roadblock at partial matching. I've tried a million different approaches and none seem to work. function findImageFile(folderPath, titlePart) { var folder = new Folder(folderPath); if (!folder.exists) { alert("Folder does not exist: " + folderPath); return null; } var files = folder.getFiles(); alert("Number of files in folder: " + files.len

I often need to apply a Master Page on several pages among some other pages. I know I can Alt-Click the Master to apply it on selected layers quickly. I would like it to work the other way around too – clicking the Page to apply the selected Master. Is that possible?   {Renamed by MOD}  

I have several instances in a complex document that is published in both PDF and print format, where there is a reference to a drawing on a different page. "See closeup on Page 44" being a typical example, appearing on P. 43 or elsewhere. I have created a text anchor within the closeup, and the hyperlink to the text box works OK, but I would like to be able to zoom in directly to the entire closeup rather than the whole page.I mean it's functional the way it is, but ideally I'd like the PDF viewer to increase the zoom level to show the entire frame of the closeup rather than the whole page.   <TItle renamed by moderator>

Hi all, I'm using a template for a document that's A3 into DL and where it says this way facing up and the arrow is down, do I design that part of the doc upside down? Also if someone could explain how this would be folded that would be very helpful 🙂 Pic attached for reference. I'm very new to indesign and I would really appreciate the help!! I know it's a very silly question...

Hello, there.I'm performing a GREP find in a document and want to collect the contents and parentPage.name of each found text. But, some of them are in text frames placed in pasteboard. And, of course, the script is stopping with an error. Then I put it inside a try/catch and running from InDesign, it's OK. But running from ESTK the error is stopping the script. (Since when ESTK stops to respect try/catch?)Is ther any other way to validate this other than try/catch? app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING; app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+"; app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = ps; var f = doc.findGrep(); app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING; for (var k=0; k<f.length; k++) { try { collection.push([f[k].contents , f[k].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.name]); } catch(e) {} }

 I was previously using InDesign in split monitor mode to type out some copy, and ever since then, no matter how much I resize the window, when I exit from presentation mode, the window automatically goes back to the split monitor resolution. Technically, it's not causing any problems, it's just really annoying, so if anyone can help, that be great. I'm running on CC 2024 and macOS Sonoma 14.5.

Hello Everyone.When I updated InDesign a few months ago, my ID icons went white. This has happened before and I could always figure out a solution, but nothing worked this time. (uninstalling/reinstalling, changing the default app) I figured it wasn't that big a deal as I was getting a new computer soon. Today I got it. There were no Adobe Apps on it when IT gave it to me. The icons are still white. Help. I've completely uninstalled ID again, tried installing an older version. Nothing is working. Everything still opens. But it is just so very annoying.Thanks for any advice.

When i start opening the app (i tried with Indesign and Photoshop), it starts to load, but then freezes and after some short time the whole screen turns black. Everything on the screen turns black. I had to force restart the computer, or it would just not open the app. I updated the drivers, and its still the same. The only app that didnt crash when i started it was photoshop v22.2. Did someone had something similar happening?*note: i cant open the app at all.I use windows 11, have the latest updates of apps and drivers.   <Title renamed by moderator>

For the god sake, can i just re-asign the zoom in Indesign ? Because every normal people and software in the world uses ctrl+scroll instead of alt+scroll for dynamic zoom. Thanks.
