We're experiencing an issue when attempting to relink missing assets stored on an SMB network share.EnvironmentAdobe InDesign (Latest Version)Files stored on an SMB network share.macOS (Fully up to date)The ProblemWhen a linked file is missing and we choose Relink in InDesign, searching for the filename returns no results, even though the file exists on the SMB share.However:Finder can locate the file immediately.Spotlight also finds the file without any issues.Screenshot 1 Attached – InDesign Relink search returns no resultsWhat We Have TriedWe found a script that can be run from within InDesign. When the script performs a search of the same SMB share, it successfully finds the missing files.This suggests that InDesign itself can access the share, but the built-in Relink search is behaving differently from the script.Script DetailsNetwork issue accessing images | CommunityScreenshot 2 Attached– Script successfully returns search resultsQuestionsHas anyone encountered this behaviour be

My team has reviewed the document and the comments are showing in review but none of their highlights or pins are showing. I've signed in and out, restarted my computer, etc and it has made no difference. It isn't showing on their end either when they open the review link. It's like they disappeared. Below is a screenshot.  

I am importing PSD files with multiple artboards. In IMPORT OPTIONS they appear as layers and I can turn them on/off (choose to import them or not) BUT regardless the image box is the entire size of all the artboards put together. I wonder if any one knows if you can import a single artboard from a PSD and have the image box in InDesign open to the proportion of that single artboard?Anyone?thanks Debbie 

For some reason my CC library palette is vibrating. The bottom of the palette with the clould icon and the lock icon are flickering, and the scrollbar 'thumb' is flickering too. The only reference I can find to this issue is at this link in UserVoice:CC Libraries palette vibrates nonstop  Anyone else have this issue? Is there anything that works to fix it? I'm on ID 20.5 on a 2023 Mac Studio running Sequoia 15.6.1. Thanks!Maurice

Hi everyone.I want to use a script to set the object style for the following image.I searched for some information and tried several times without success.The annotation section seems incorrect, while the rest is correct.reference material:https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#AnchoredObjectSetting.htmlThank you very much. imgObjStySet()；function imgObjStySet() {var imgObjSty= app.documents[0].objectStyles.itemByName('img') imgObjSty.setDimensionAttributeState(DimensionAttributes.WIDTH_ATTRIBUTE, true); imgObjSty.transformAttributeOptions.transformAttrWidth = '52mm'; imgObjSty.textWrapPreferences.textWrapOffset = ["2mm", "2mm", "5mm", "5mm"]; //imgObjSty.anchoredObjectSettings = { // anchorPoint: AnchorPoint.TOP_CENTER_ANCHOR, // horizontalReferencePoint: AnchoredRelativeTo.TEXT_FRAME, // verticalReferencePoint: VerticallyRelativeTo.LINE_BASELINE, // horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.CENTER_ALIGN, // verticalAlignmen

When I try to delete Indesign files from my desktop, even if the files are small - it can take up to 60 seconds for things to fully delete. Same when using box or google drive folders and copying to desktop. These are small files, and no other program’s files take the amount of time the Indesign files do. Sometimes even renaming takes up to 45 seconds. What’s up with this? Mac OS 15.7.7, Indesign 21.4.1. 

Hi everyone.If I select partial text, I will clear the preference for the selected text.If all text (the whole story) is selected, priority will be given to clearing all objects under the story.I found that I selected the entire story and only selected some of the text,The results of alert (app. selection [0]. constructor. name) are allText.How can I distinguish between these two states?thank you.

Why I can’t report a Bug in the Indesign Community?The names in the “open recent” menu are not readable. the are lay over by other letters.Indesign 21.4.1 on MacOS 26.5.1  

Hi all,I’m hoping someone has seen this before, because I’m running out of things to try.I’m using the latest version of InDesign on Windows 11 Pro. While working on presentations, InDesign initially behaves normally, but after several minutes it gradually starts to malfunction.The first symptom is usually that Ctrl+Z / Undo becomes unavailable. After that, other problems begin to appear:Images become difficult or impossible to resize or place Scrolling through the document becomes intermittent The spinning blue Windows cursor sometimes appears I can usually close and save the document, although occasionally saving also fails InDesign itself will not close normally I have to force-close the application through Task ManagerThere are no error messages and the application does not fully crash. It simply becomes increasingly unresponsive.The issue happens during normal work, including selecting objects, editing text, moving items and placing or resizing images. It does not appear to be lim

Le document final se compose de plusieurs chapitres, chacun possédant ses notes (notes de fin) dont la numérotation automatique est insérée dans le corps du chapitre après le mot concerné sous la forme d’un appel de note. Je souhaiterai en plus, en début de chaque note, insérer automatiquement le numéro de la page où se trouve cet appel de note.Est-ce possible et comment ?

I didn't understand this, what's the unique usage.I thought it could be set separately, but always with the last one unifying all four sides. tabSty.properties = {//topBorderStrokeWeight: '0.1mm',//leftBorderStrokeWeight: '0.2mm',//bottomBorderStrokeWeight: '0.5mm',rightBorderStrokeWeight: '0.5mm',} 

I’ve just updated to InDesign 21.4.1, although doing this through Creative Cloud I wasn't given the option of an ‘Update’ button, instead I had a ‘Download’ button, which seems like it is a completely new program? But once I downloaded the app, it appeared like an update by overwriting version 24.1.When I launched the new version, all of my preferences and workspace disappeared, I also wasn’t given the option to transfer them over either. So I have just wasted an hour of my time having to set them all up again, trying to remember all of my preferences. 

Hallo!Ich muss eine beschreibbare PDF erstellen, in der nicht nur verschiedene Textblöcke, sondern auch verschiedene Bilder ausgetauscht werden können.Im PDF Acrobat habe ich bereits versucht, Bilder rein zuladen - diese lassen sich aber z.B nicht gut skalieren wenn Sie nicht der Breite der Bildbox entsprechen und rutschen somit aus dem Layout.Gibt es die Möglichkeit, bei Indesign oder im PDF Acrobat Dokumente so aufzubauen, dass jemand die Bilder austauschen kann bzw. in die Vorlage reinladen kann? Hier geht es auch um Ebenen, Bilder liegen unter Text etc. - Das konnte ich bisher nicht finden. Danke!

Moin zusammen,ich habe auf meinem neuen MacBook Pro (32GB, M5) ein InDesign Problem, das ich vorher so nie hatte.Folgende Situation:Bisher habe ich immer ohne Probleme mit der Anzeigeleistung "Anzeige mit hoher Qualtät" gearbeitet. Nun erhalte ich die verschiedensten Meldungen, die ich vorher noch nie auf irgendeinem Gerät hatte Ich habe es deinstalliert und nochmal probiert, das schließen musste ich mehrfach erzwingen weil nichts anklickbar ist (siehe Bild 1)Das komischte ist, wenn ich die Anzeigeleistung "Normale Anzeige" wähle, tauchen die Bilder wieder auf - zwar pixelig aber sie sind immerhin dargestellt.Sobald ich mir eine Grafik aus Illustrator rüberkopiere, hängt er sich jedes Mal kurz auf und scheint Probleme zu haben. Bei normalen JPGs oder PNGs ebenfalls, allerdings nicht immer bei allen im generellen, manche zeigt er an, manche nicht (siehe Bild 2)Ich habe selbst schon etwas in den Voreinstellungen rum probiert, hat sich bisher aber nichts getan. Kennt jemand das Problem?Da

I have a 8.5 x 11 facing page document where some of the pages have a full page image which bleeds on (for example) the top, bottom and left if a left side page and I have a 1/8 set on top outer and bottom sides and 0” bleed on the inside. The image is aligned to the page edge on the inner gutter with no image bleeding to the right side. Verifying the alignment the right edge is at 8.5”. If I make a pdf there is a teeny sliver of the image showing up on the right hand inner margin of the facing page. I have one client that always flags this issue so I have to fix this by setting the image to 8.499”. This seems like a bug and once it is pointed out to me it really bothers me.  It only seems to do this for photos and not coloured boxes. Is there something I am doing wrong? I have attached screen shots from the pdf. First image shows a 2up display where you can see the teeeny slice. Image 2 shows the single page view where the slice is more obvious (not big but it is there and my client h

macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta…Find/Change doesn’t show up…I know I’m not supposed to be working with a beta OS, but here I am… I just thought it might be useful for some people to know…

Is it possible to delete a button's roll over state once it's created? I can hide it, but I want it gone or deactivated. Any way to do this?

I am using InDesign 21.3, working on a simple 2 page file, I go to place a logo and the blue thinking wheel pops up and doesn’t go away. I can click and move things around but none of it is being “saved”. I close the file and click to close the program and it just sits there still open. I then have to force quit the program. When I relaunch the file opens with the software and everything I did while the wheel was spinning was not saved.It’s done this several times since the update and there is no pattern to why. I’m finding it randomly acting up. It’s really frustrating, especially when I’m not working on anything complicated.

This is how my mac is showing images… I change to normal view rather than HQ performance and it returns to normal. Problem is I need to copy and paste some images out of it, and when I do, it gives me the image with the lines. Any ideas?Mac M1 MaxUpdated latest version. Mac OS 15.6.1 Sequoia  

A litle help here; today suddenly, I've placed several logos and icons created in Illustrator, and they are showing a white background instead of being transparent. I thought it was a redraw issue so I quit everything and sitll the issue. Then I restarted and I still see it. Have placed other logos and same issue. Worst, the PDF is exporting with this white background!!! • Display is set to high Quality Display• Fill for placed logo is set to none, both on bounding box and object• Other logos placed before today don't have the issue.• Made a new file, placed a different vector, same issue. What gives??? Any clues?   InDesign 19.3 (yes I know there's a new version but it was giving me the issue of not bveing able to save)Mac OSX Sonoma 14.5Appli M1 Max 32GB  

In the latest update of InDesign when I have multiple shapes and frames on the page selected, if my cursor is above something like a rectangle with content/picture inside it, I only move the picture that is below it at the time. Rather than the whole selection of objects as it used to. I tested before and after the update and it was something that only broke with 21.4. If I cursor over a solid shape object while still selecting the entire group (including the photo frame) that then moves the entire section but only if cursor above a placed fill object does it break. What could possibly be happening?

Unable to move the textual task bar over to my other screen.CheersNate

Mac Indesign 21.4.1 Undo/Redo does not work. Plus stability issues. Never had stability and lagging issues with Indesign until last couple updates. Very frustrating and complicates my workflow. Need to force quite often as well. Bad update. I am thinking about reinstalling earlier versions.

Reflowable EPUB exported from InDesign displays incorrectly in Kindle Previewer. A 74-page book becomes about 238 reading screens with short paragraphs isolated by large blank spaces. What InDesign EPUB setting could cause this?
