InDesign

Ever since I bought it, the app have visual performance issues, making texts become invisible right aftes editing it, deforming fonts, having delays after copy and paste commands and many other issues that makes using the app really annoying. Anyone pls, knows whats the cause of such problem? Indesign is 21.1 and I have a RTX 5060, 16gb ram, i5 and the app runs from an SSD.Thanks in advance.

Using InDesign 21.1, I have a doc that is 8.5 in. x 10.5 in. Top and inside margins = 1.5 in; bottom and outside margins = 2 in. The pages reflect their parent pages accurately.I want use Adjust Layout to change the page size to 7 x 10.5 with top margin at 1.25 in and other 3 at 1 in.In Adjust Layout I set the width and height, unchecked Auto-adjust margins and entered the new margin values.Indd is not providing the margins I requested. In Document Setup the values are correct. When I reopen Adjust Layout the values are correct. But the page margins did not change on the parents or the body pages. (Page size changed accurately.)What am I missing?Thanks. 

Hi. Can anyone recommend a script that extracts individual pages from a multi-page document? I found some old ones but not sure if there's one for the current software. 

I am working on a book that has several chapters. I need to move Chapter 15 to 14. All the pages are linked by chapter. 1. Show me how to unlink a chapter.2. Show me how to then move the entire chapter so that it falls perfectly in sequence without distrubing the sequences of other chapters? If you can't do a video and upload here. send me simple steps with screen shots circling where to click.

I got a file at office which got corrupted (.ai file). I had to send its PDF into press printing at 300dpi. I tried setting up an indesign file and tried copy/pasting everything from illustrator to indesign. I wrote all the text but rest all graphics have now been copied/pasted from illustrator to indesign. Sometimes i got the message 'files will be copied as embedded EPS'. The resulting PDF from indesign turned out to be much lesser MB file size. The printer said that it might be a very low resolution file and bad for print. What could have caused this? To get my indesign file into a high resolution file what should i do now to fix it without having to redo all the work? Or should i redraw all images in photoshop and place file to indesign? I need help fast please

Hello, everyone.I have a problem with a file that I can't seem to figure out.Every time I try to update or recreate the summary, all the text on the following pages disappears.Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong without having to redo everything?I'M GOING CRAZY!!I'm attaching a video and the file, hoping that someone can tell me what's wrong.Video -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BK04cCqumMEF7NcdogPfJVdIj1CMKI8e/view?usp=sharing FIle -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fWGP856lcryqUHiVwaMk4YGBytseQw5X/view?usp=sharing 

I'm producing a document which has over 50 questions with multiple radio button answers set up in a table - Image attached. A button in the 'Your View' column and a button 'Our View' column can be active at the same time (so the green button in 'Your View' and a Green button in 'Our View' can both be active. However, when the 'N/A' Button at the end of the row is selected, it clears the buttons in that whole row. I do this in Acrobat by going into the settings of the 'N/A' radio button, and via 'Actions > On Focus> Reset Form > edit - and I select what other radio buttons I want switching off.   However, as there are soooo many questions and radio buttons in my document, I didn't know if there was a quicker way to do this? (maybe something I can set up in Indesign?) Rather than manually going into Acrobat after every PDF Save and editing each N/A button in every question row? (This is a document that might go through multiple version changes) also sorr

Hi, I desperately need advice. I am brand new to InDesign. I'm here to format my first book. So far I've created two documents in one book. Each document so far is about 8 pages long with one A parent. I have only created columns and page numbers so my files are tiny. I get damaged file, can't save, Error 0 every time I try to save. I can't get anywhere. Now when I launch InDesign I am getting a "Welcome to the InDesign Touch Workspace" page that I can't get past and and can't even open my files. I am totally lost and SOOOO frustrated!

Since I often work with different clients who have a specific color palette indicated in the Guideline, I created the COLOR Libraries for each one, implementing them over the years. So they can be used in the 3 Adobe programs: Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop (and wherever you can use it as it is very useful. Now I run into a big problem: InDesign doesn't treat the "gradient" swatch as normally as it does in Adobe Illustrator. In fact I would say that it has been doing it for some time: if you save the gradient it saves you a separate file with the gradient. Illustrator instead saves a Gradient sample. It's just not possible to make InDesign consistent with other programs. Because it works well in Illustrator while in Indesign it is decidedly more complex and not very useful. Thanks for listening.

This behavior appears to be new in InDesign 21.0.2. In earlier versions, when InDesign was open with a document and you opened another document, the application window did not resize; the new document opened in a new tab within the same window. In InDesign 21.0.2, if you have a window open with a document you are working on and then open another document, the window’s width suddenly expands to accommodate the new document. If your InDesign window is sized just wide enough for the current document and positioned on the right side of the screen so you can work with other applications simultaneously, the window now stretches far beyond the right edge of the screen. As a result, you may only see the left edge of the newly opened document. If the window size remained unchanged, the new document would be visible centered within the existing window. Users size their windows to meet their needs. InDesign shouldn't override that and think it knows a better window size.

Having problems in last month with pins unmapping between SRL and Indd. Anyone else experiencing this? Commonalities: mac user mixed with HP users, human error of design boxes being moved or deleted. Inconsistent occurrence.

Indesign Drag bar-issues.jpg Good morning, this has been driving me crazy. So i decided to map it out. I am not really sure what to call the very top Bar, but the areas in green I can click and hold and move the App around, the non-green areas does not move the app. Is this just me? It's so annoyingAny fixes?

Any ideas why InDesign keeps crashing when I save?   <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE AdobeCrashReport SYSTEM "AdobeCrashReporter.dtd"> <crashreport serviceVersion="29.2.0.202509230431_9a64297" clientVersion="29.2.0.202509230431_9a64297" applicationName="InDesign" applicationVersion="21.1.0" build="21.1.0.56" source="Windows-Client" crashType="n/a"> <time year="2026" month="1" day="15" hour="10" minute="6" second="11" timeoffset="-360" timezone="Central Standard Time" crsessionduration="4845"/> <user guid="7005b42c-7b74-410c-9a5c-fa5aecea7c67"/> <system platform="Windows 11 Enterprise" osversion="11.0" osbuild="26200" applicationlanguage="en-us" userlanguage="en-US" oslanguage="en-US" ram="16064" machine="13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1360P" model="Intel64 Family 6 Model 186 Stepping 2" cpuCount="16" cpuType="8664" cpuFreq="2611 MHz" processorArchitecture="9"/> <gpu> <gpuinfo availability="Off Line" adapterCompatibility="NVIDIA" adapterR

I have numerous InDesign files with a lot of text, and hyperlinks interspersed throughout that text. Is there a way to put the hyperlinks on a separate layer so that when I export the file to an Adobe PDF, I can turn the hyperlinks on/off in the layers panel of the PDF? 

Hello to the community,I am using the current last versions of InDesign (21.1) and Illustrator (30.1) on Windows, French versions.I can no longer save InDesign files after having imported an Illustrator artwork. The InDesign file is systematically corrupted. Worse, once imported, even if I remove the artwork, I cannot still save my file. I have already worked from scratch, by saving Illustrator artwork with latest version, creating a new InDesign file: nothing works. I have also deleted all software parameters (from C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Adobe). Nothing helps.Thank you for your help: I attach below one of the files I want to import, but I have the same problems with other simpler images.To be complete, I did not encounter any problem with previous versions, and with the same files.Regards,Pascal Garin

HiWhen I import an MWWord doc containing links, it seems that InDesign sometimes applies my 'Hyperlink' character style to the links, sometimes not. The only way I know that the Hyperlink style is applied to all links is if i select the text, go to the Hyperlinks window, click on one of the list of selected hyperlinks and then sent the style to "Hyperlink".  But does anyone know what's going on? I"d really like some automated process to unfailingly apply the Hyperlink style to all hyperlinks. Any clues? Thanks!best,Kurt

Need to add "$" to multiple cells in many tables. I'm hoping to automatically, like find and replace. Would there be a GREP for this? It's for French figures, so the "$" is at the end of the cell, i.e., "345 $".Screenshot 2026-01-15 at 11.03.44 AM.png

I'm going crazy. I must be. I hate the animated zoom. I am target-zooming and don't want some smooth glide in. I've never selected this option and suddenly it's ON. I've literally read through evey single selection in Preferences. WHERE. IS. IT. 

Looking for a script to make multiple files into PDF but also have the ability to add a password to it from Indesign. To save me keep going into the properties section. Would be a added bonus to if i could change the name of the file to.

why are my options off my screen??hendy_5450_0-1767783745184.png 

why is the spacing not budging when changing it around!?see video
