When I try and export a High Quality PDF I get the error above. It doesn't seem to happen with a Press Quality export. What can I do to eliminate this error, as the High Quality and Press Quality PDFs have very obviously different colours on screen. They've not gone to the printers yet. I don't want to end up with several 100k leaflets with the wrong colours coming back from the printers.

Hi everyone,I'm working on a project in Adobe InDesign where I need to dynamically adjust the height of textFields (create from buttons and forms) using scripting. I've explored the scripting documentation but haven't found a straightforward way to achieve this. Could someone please guide me on how to modify the height of atextFields (create from buttons and forms) programmatically in InDesign? Any examples or pointers would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!

I have recently got my first job at a design and marketing company where most of their clients are builders, developers and architects. My work here as designer is designing property brochures.Now the company CEO to save the printing costs to the company has asked my senior to decide which of the pages in brochure can be printed at a lower DPI. Usually the pages that have smaller images and more text get printed at lower DPI.This surprised me initially, but upon asking my senior, he told me that printing pages at lower DPI means less ink usage and hence discounted printing for the company.Now, brochures are of a lot of different sizes like 11' x 17', 9' x 12', and 11' x 25' being the most common one at our company.So I have to calculate the dimensions for the each brochure pages in pixels based on the PPI and then design and export them at the correct DPI setting. Then I have to create batches of files based on the DPI and send them to our printing partner for printing.Calculating the

Hey all:I asked my question earlier in the general InDesign section of the forum, but a helpful user suggested I repost it here as it will take some scripting magic to accomplish:My work assignment of late has been developing an interactive PDF catalog of our products that my superior can distribute digitally and let potential customers browse without accessing the website.We have an Excel file that lists all the details of our products - name, description, title, image, category, etc. I have used Data Merge to create this 300 page document rather than hand-copy each product's information to a single page.Unfortunately I am now stuck - I have designed the catalog in such a way that I have an image that I want to make a button which, if the person wishes to purchase a product, will take them directly the the product page online where he or she can add it to the shopping cart. This is great, but I cannot seem to find a way to make the image button's link a variable as the rest of the pag

Hi all, I have looked through similar posts but none seem to cover this. I started a new file, but there is an odd frame on the master pages which cannot be selected, deleted, etc. See the attached screenshot; the blue frame is good, it's the pink frame I need to delete. I don't know how it got there, no clue why it's there, but I don't want to hand a client the file at the end with this messiness. Help please? Thanks in advance. 🙂

I can find the imperfections of INDEISGN every day.For example, on the left line, I set up 2mm at first. Later, I wanted to restore the initial default (not modified), but I found that I couldn't go back.Can I only build a new style?

The left page becomes the right page, is the problem of dislocation of the picture solved?The original object should be moved left or right for 3mm. 

Hey,  I am trying to space dots on the page 5mm apart.  My document units and increments are set to MM but when I go into Stroke > Stroke styles > New... to define this, the pattern length is set to Pica. How do I change the pattern length to be in MM instead of Pica?

I am trying to convert an RTF file into a reflowable ePub using InDesign.  I had formerly created a new ePub following Anne-Marie Concepcion's video tutorials and in that new file of mine I set a new Workspace, names it, and populated it with new paragraph and chracter styles and so on.  The workspace works beuatifully in that file.  But when I created a "new document" in Indesign, it has the name of my customized workspace (the one that I customized in the other file) at the very top of the workspace just as I expect to, as if it is working, but when I open the panels for paragraphs and characterstyles, it is as if I have never created a workspace at all.  It only shows blank_paragraphs as an option.  Can someone help, ...please? Thanks,  Rick Reiman

How do I turn off the horizontal lines that appear when an InDesign page is zoomed in above 100%? They do not go away when I hide/show guides, only when I zoom out to 100% or smaller. They make the page look like ruled loose leaf paper...super annoying. InDesign CC, Windows 10 .

Morning! I am unable to continue working on my project. I recieve this message when opening InDesign (Beta).Your InDesign (Beta) build has expired.I have reinstalled the app and I still received the same message then is closes itself down and won't let me continue.What does this mean and how do I resolve this? I can see there are a few past post on this issue. Why does this keep happening? Am I better off using the normal InDesign. We chose Beta so the team can collaborate more easily.

I'm designing a short book of poems (actually one long poem with 75 stanzas.) I've done an ePub before for a novel but I need to keep each stanza to its own page resembling the paperback version. I don't think Amazon allows for static ePubs so it has to be exported as reflowable. Is there a way to maintain the stanza breaks? And also the wide margins? Thanks!Jane

I tried opening my indesign indb file in version 19.1 and all of the links are linking to page 1 and not their correct page. This goes for the hyperlinked tabs on each page as well as the table of contents (TOC was created with the TOC menu in indesign). I saved all of the book files to idml, reopened them in verison 18.0 and put them into a book file and the links work.What is the issue with the newer indesign version not holding the links when you crate a pdf?

Hello everyone, I'm copying texts from Microsoft OneNote into Indesign.

Hi. Ive saved specific colors for my InDesign document. So whenever I mark some text etc I can see also that specific color marked in the color sample window. But not anymore. Whenever I mark some text color sample window says "no color". And also when I mark some text and then choose the specified color in the color sample window, the font gets super bold and not what it is supposed to be. What happened?

I imported a PDF File into InDesign in order to turn it into a Form Fillable document. After I got all of the fields in place (Over 300 Text fields, 100 Radio Buttons, etc.) I tried to export it to an interactive PDF. When I do the background image on the first page disappears. The second page is just fine, but the first is completely gone.  Is there any way to fix this without completely redoing it?

Beim Einsetzen von farbigen eps-Logos und bei Darstellung mit hoher Qualität werden Farben unterschiedlich dargestellt oder überhaupt nicht dargestellt. Diese Problem gibt es aber schon längere Zeit.

I appologize if this has already received plenty of coverage but I'm trying to do something which would seem trivial but is not working for me? You see, I'm updating my classroom notes in a multi-page InDesignm document. On page 12, I have a small section dedicated to "Bézier Curves". On page 35, I would like to insert a "Reference" to this "Bézier Curves" section such that the ideal text would read as the following:> See Page 12But I am trying to avoid "hard-coding" the number 12 in the text because, some day, I will likely add or delete pages BEFORE page 35 and then, the reference to the Bézier section will be meaningless. You see what I'm trying to do? The best I was able to do what to "Define" a new Text variable based on "Chapter Number" (suggested by ChatGPT) by navigating to Page 12, accessing the Numbering & section options in the Page menu, check the "Start chapter numbering" option and type "12" as shown in the following screen capture:Then, in the text on page 35

Hi,For years I've not been able to use the CMD + C and CMD + V shortcut keys to copy and paste anything in InDesign. I'm able to copy and paste via the menu but nothing else.The shortcut keys work fine on any other program on my Mac it's just InDesign which isn't working. When I paste using the shortcut keys the previous copied content is pasted indicating that the clipboard hasn't saved my most recent copy.It's not a massive issue but it does slow the fluidity of my workflow slightly. It's a strange issue that I can't seem to find a solution for online. Anyone have any idea?
