InDesign

Sometimes when I place an Illustrator artwork into InDesign, it arbitrarily ignores certain elements of the design.The only solution is to duplicate the artboard and hope it picks up that one. This can take 10-15 attempts.This bug slows the workflow down a lot — anyone got a solution?

I have a project with mixed fonts/symbols on the same line, and the distance the line "descends" is based on some font settings, I assume.In this example, you can see the differences in spacing above the Ws:When the word "Wish" is removed, the W of "When" is flush against the top of the text box (solid magenta line). When adding other fonts/symbols onto a line, as you see here, I'd like the W in When to remain at the top of the text box (and, in this case, the W in Wish would ascend above it).The only thing I found so far in googling for that space is "Line Height," but I don't think that's it.Is there a way to adjust this on a Character-Style level in InDesign?I'd rather avoid baseline-shifing my main body text.Any help appreciated! 

Hi There So my layout contains several titels, which all have the same character style and paragraph style, on one page. Now i want all these titels as running headers on the top of each page. Indesign variable now limits me to only chose the first or last "running header". But in my case i have like 4 headers per page. Do any of you know how to solve this or know any scripts for this problem? I am searching the web now for quite some time. greatings 

I am using the InDesign web version to create pages for the CANVAS course management system.  I have embedded videos, so I cannot convert this to a pdf or use InDesign's print version.  I need the following:1) to have the webpage load true to size as a default (one page, for instance, is 8.5" x 40", and it is loading tiny, so students have to enlarge it).2) to be able to label images for ADA compliance in the web version for a screen reader.3) to have the entire web document within InDesign ADA compliant for a screenreader How do I do this?  This looks like it is being rasterized for the web version of InDesign.  College students may need to use a screen reader, so this needs to be fixed.Please help!  :0) Best,MDR

No me deja abrir mi archivo idml, me aparece un error diciendo no se puede abrir el archivo. Adone indesign no reconoce el formato o falta un plugin, lo hice con el programa modelo 2021 y luego lo intente abrir con el modelo 2024 pero me aparece el mismo error. Necesito Ayuda 

Ho scaricato la prova gratuita di 7 giorni di Adobe InDesign sul mio portatile e stavo cercando di scaricarla anche sul mio fisso. Tuttavia, quando provo a scaricarla ricevo il messaggio che mi dice che ho già attivato la prova gratuita su un altro dispositivo.Trovo questa situazione frustrante! Considerando che sono già abbonata a Photoshop e al pacchetto fotografia su due dispositivi.Mi sembra poco coerente che la prova gratuita di un singolo prodotto venga limitata in questo modo, nonostante io abbia già accesso ad altri programmi nel mio account.Mi piacerebbe poter scaricare e provare InDesign su entrambi i dispositivi . C’è qualche possibilità di risolvere questo problema o di ottenere un’altra prova gratuita?

Why did my image turn grey all of the sudden?? 

The "Break Text Threads" script that ships with InDesign is no longer working for me at all. After executing it, nothing happens. I tried a brand new document and resetting preferences—no changes. Anyone else having this issue? InDesign 20.5

Just today, on 2 seperate computers, both with the latest version of Indesign installed, have when I edit a file in anyway, gives me a message as follows:"Indesign is unable to save this file. We tried, but it appears to be damaged"The programme thengives me a message as follows when I try to close the file:"Could not complete your request becuase of a database error. The file "Indesign Defaults" is damaged (Error code:1).I have sent all the error reports to Adobe but that doesn't help me get my work done in the meantime.So, I thought I'd uninstalled Indesign and reinstalled it, but I still get the same messages on every indesign file I have, which is nuts!! I have tried with files on the computer's own hard drive, files stored in the cloud, files on a USB stick, and it makes absolutely no difference.I can open files and save them using 'save as' provided I haven't made any changes, but as soon as I make any changes, even to replacing a single letter, I get the above messages!I ha

Hi All, I have an InDesign document that contains multiple languages (English and Hebrew). However, when converting the InDesign file to ePub, the Hebrew content appears in reverse order in the exported ePub file.I’ve attached both the InDesign document and the ePub file for your reference.Could anyone please guide me on how to achieve the correct output in the exported ePub file.

I've used InDesign for at least 15 years and until a few years ago it was great. But over the past few years it has gotten worse and worse in regard to crashing and just doing odd things. This has been my experience, first when I got a top of the line 2020 iMac with an M1 chip, and now with a brand new Mac Studio with an M2 Max chip, 64GB memory and Apple Studio monitor. The main issue is that it crashes on an almost daily basis. Fortunately I haven't lost a file yet, but it's still annoying. I've been on the phone with Adobe tech support a number of times, but despite removing the preferences, updating the OS and app version, etc, etc, any improvement lasts maybe a week.   It also does weird things like defaults to a different workspace arrangement everytime I leave InDesign to momentarily work in another program. I've reset my preferred workspace (no docs open) numerous times.  Occasionally things like text color or edits don't view properly. I have to toggle

Hi Community,When I apply Justify with Last Line Aligned Left to my text, the content tends to stretch awkwardly toward the spine, creating unnecessary gaps (as shown in SS1). even after hypenation is allowed the letters are not splitting.What I’d like instead is for the text to have a clean left justification, but with a natural white space at the end of each line — more like what’s shown in SS2.How can I achieve this effect while still using Justify with Last Line Aligned Left justification?Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, I have a question about text frames in InDesign. It should probably be easily solvable, but for some reason, I can't seem to find the solution. I am working with a template that uses multiple columns and threading text. Now I want to split the columns into separate text frames, so I can change the height of each column individually. Is there an easy way to do this? I added a picture of how it looks now.

Ho sempre utilizzato quotidianamente la funzione Esporta in RTF o Word per i file di testo creati in Indesign, ma da ieri non compare più nell'elenco. Posso esportare file solo in PDF, EPS, Epub, JPG, PNG, XML, HTML, Markup, ma manca la funzione di esportazione in Word o di esportazione in RTF. Qualcuno sa dirmi cosa è successo e come recuperarlo?Grazie!

I have a magazine that I am working on which has several community ads on one page in InDesign. We have to send a proof of each ad to the advertisers. Is there a way to export only a part of one page to become a PDF or is there a way for me to crop the page temporarily before export. How I have been doing it is I have been exporting the whole page into Acrobat and then cropping it there which does not seem to be something that would take that much longer, but it is a tedious process. Thank you!

Dear community,I have Indesign 20.5 and read, that you can open pdf documents in this version now and edit them. Unfortunately every pdf I try to open is greyed out and I can't select the files and I don't know, where the problem is. I tested my own pdf files and they don't work as well. Drag and Drop just inserts the pdf into Indesign as usual. Is there anything in the preferences I need to change?Thank you for your help 🙂

Hi,Recently, I installed InDesign on my computer. The app won't open due to some broken splash screen that cannot be turned off (no buttons are there, it cannot be zoomed in or out to see if there's anything "outside" the screen). The app looks okay for a second or two after launching and then the resolution breaks and the splash screen (or what I assume is a splash screen) appears, you can see it on the screenshot belowI tried re-installing CC, InDesign, going back to a previous version of the app, tried clearing appdata and roaming folders, tried the CC Cleaner Tool, nothing worked. Photoshop and Illustrator work without issues, only InDesign has this problem. Any ideas what to do? 

HelloI have a text with personal informations and i will creat outlines. But how can i creat them?

hi. I'm just trying to find a script or plug-in(free or paid) for Acrobat or InDesign that will export let's say 35 InDesign files to individual PDFs. I thought this question would be an easy answer but I'm not sure what the best way to do it is. I'm on a Mac, using latest software. any help would be appreciated.

Why is text disapearing when there's tonz of space??

Bonjour,Impossible d'ouvrir mon In Design, ni même Adobe Cloud. J'ai le message d'erreur suivant. Une solution, svp ? Merci !

The 3 that I worked on are not showing a preview. The other images that my colleagues worked on, are showing a preview image. Does anyone know why? 

I am attempting to open a file created in May 2025 in Adobe InDesign 20.4. I now have 20.5 installed on my device, so I'm getting an error message. I try to "Convert File" and nothing happens. When I click "Update," nothing happens as I already have the latest version of InDesign.HELP!

When I create a table and go to table options for alternating pattern, I will select every other (or any other pattern) and it defaults back to none.It used to work just fine, but doesn't anymore.  Indesign CC 2017 - latest upate.Does anyone else have this problem?thanks!

Hello.  I am hoping someone hear has an answer for this. We have been converting our old Quark docs into Indesign using Markwarz Q to ID plug in.  Some of the Quark docs, someone used a standard non breaking space. When converted, we get a random character inserted where that space would be. It prints, so it's something we would like to remove faster than going page-by-page looking for it. I have found no way to search for that space. It doesn't copy, and any variation of searching I do, it comes up with nothing. Tried GREP even.  See attachment. Circled in red. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
