InDesign

Hi. I have a question. Is it possible to create an interactive checklist in InDesign that adds a checkbox to a given task, which is then checked off and also checked off in the tracker on another page? The tracker will ultimately collect all tasks from the entire document.

I have a document in single page layout with threaded text from page to page based on a master layout and I separate chapters with single page chapter divider based on a different master (chapter divider pages have a background color that expants to page bleed). Each time I place a page break at the end of chapter I manualy insert a new page from master with a chapter divider and text is flowing at the next page. In case I add a new page break on the first page or is needed to add text (e.g. edits) is there a way that the chapter divider page could also follow the text flow automatically at the appropriate page position? Please see images for reference. Thanks

I can no longer Copy any comments in Review window (Share for Review). I should be able to copy the text from the comment directly into the window. But this function is disabled in this version of InDesign. Now I have to manually type text. It was a problem last years resolved by a new version, but in 21.1 InDesign, this problem still appen. What's going on Adobe !? Capture d’écran 2026-01-12 à 18.15.11.jpg

Hello, when we try to view our presentation (https://indd.adobe.com/view/xxxx), we only see the header. From the first part of 'interactivity', the page goed blank. When we use the 'Download PDF' function, the presentation is shown in full (but -of course- static).In 'webmaster tools' we see: "13b84ffa-5d50-4ba6-b9bc-a00c947d72ed:1 Refused to execute script from 'https://indd.adobe.com/newrelic_browser/newrelic.js' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled."Doen anyone have the same issue?

When I export my indesign files to pdf, colored lines appear where the images should be. I've unchecked the GPU, made sure the apps have full disc access and tried different acrobat presets.

Hello,I’m experiencing an issue with InDesign files created by my colleague. Whenever she creates a document using the Inter font and saves it, when I open the file on my computer, all the text that should be Bold, SemiBold, etc., appears in a strange Light version.I’ve tried:Installing the font locally on my computerChecking if Inter is installed as Adobe Fonts, which it isMass replacing the font in the document…but it only works for Regular.When I export, I see the wrong fontThe only current workaround is replacing each instance manually, which is impossible for a catalogue of over 50 pages. When I click on the text, I do see the font is Inter and  it's "bold", though doesn't appear as bold. When I click on "bold" again, then it appears as it should be.Could you please advise on how to resolve this?

Bonjour, J'ai réalisé un catalogue sur InDesign, lors de l'assemblage il manque certaines photos dans le dossier link alors qu'avant de faire l'assemblage l'ensemble des photos étaiten ok, je n'avais aucune erreur. Auriez-vous une solution car à chaque ouverture il manque de nouveau des photos ? Je précise que je l'ai bien importée et non copier/coller. Je vous remercie par avance

When I want to open Indesign, the icon appears for one second in my bar below, but then disappears again. Indesign doensn't want to open. I tried with different versions. See video attached.  I have this problem for some weeks already 

Hi there, hope someone can help me. I set my document Dictionary preferences to Dutch New Rules 2005, and chose Proximity for hyphenation. I also set my paragraph styles accordingly. Then I noticed that the hyphenation is not correct, and I check the Dictionary preferences. To my surprise it is now set to Dutch Old Rules, and hyphenation is set to Hunspell. So I change it back to what is should be, but after a short while it is set back to the wrong settings. The hyphenation itself stays incorrect, I have top manually adjust it.How is this possible? The settings keeps changing back, the hyphenations keeps being wrong. I have never had this problem. 

Hi all   I am looking for a working method or script that will disable hyphenation in all the paragraph styles in an existing document in one go in Indesign Windows 11. I can do it manually, paragraph style by paragraph style but its a long process in large documents.   ThanksJohn

I am working with a numbered list that includes an a couple indented numbered list. Like this:1. Sentence.2. Sentence.3. Sentence.     a. Sentence     b. Sentence     c. Sentence4. Sentencen     a. Sentence     b. Sentence     c. Sentence4. This number should be five but it defaults to 4. If I deleted the a,bc, list, the second No. 4 turns to 5.  Any ideas on how to correct this?

hey! Every time I open my indesign to start writing a text, it automatically places two double angle brackets at the beginning of each sentence. How do I get rid of those? Thank you so much!Screenshot 2026-01-14 at 11.45.49.png

HiI need a paragraph style for the photo captions on my project that has a rule below that is exactly 2p wide, regardless of the width of the text box. If the photos were all the same size, i could make a "rule below" and have the 'Right Indent' be whatever it needs to be so that the rule is only 2p. But I have photos of various sizes, so this doesn't always work without some fiddling. I was wondering if there was some way to do this?Thanks,Kurt  Screenshot 2026-01-13 at 1.23.12 PM.png

I need to make a change to the running head of a chapter of a book I'm formatting, but when I highlight one or even all of the pages in that section and right-click for the Numbering & Section Options panel, the section information is missing. Other chapters show the correct information. Is this a bug, or am I missing something? Just want to know before recreating that section. Thanks in advance for any help.  

I just started creating e-books in InDesign and I am running into issues with background graphics. My background image keeps showing up on a separte page. Do you have a suggestion how to fix it? I tried different layers, anchoring before the mountain icon, anchoring in the text box on the page before, grouping the images etc. Screenshot 2025-12-17 at 1.59.32 PM.pngScreenshot 2025-12-17 at 2.00.07 PM.png

Hi, had a bit of an odd one lately, a document I was working on seemed to auto-generate alt-text for one of the images in the publication, which then showed up on a hover-over in Acrobat after output, but none of the other images within the document. I checked the image file for any sort of existing tagging or metadata, but couldn't identify anything. Any ideas why this would happen? None of the other images within the file were tagged. Thanks

Bonjour à tous!J'ai un soucis avec 2 manuels qui contiennent des hyperliens/boutons tel que des retour au début du manuel et vers des pages spécifiques. Le manuel contient plusieurs fichiers, les liens sont fait via des boutons (accéder à la page).La problèmatique a débuté lors de la version 20, j'ai choisi de rester avec 19. En Juin 2025, j'ai retenté avec la version 20, toujours le bogue. On clique sur le bouton et rien ne se passe ou l'exportation vers un PDF intéractif plantait. Une collègue a tenté avec la version 21 (décembre 2025) avec un autre manuel mais elle a du retourner à la version 19, elle aussi.J'ai fais les mises à jour en janvier 2026 pour la version 19 que j'utilise encore pour ces manuels où il y a énomément de bouton vers des cibles dans plusieurs documents du manuel. Surprise, quand tout fonctionnait en décembre, là mes boutons ne sont plus fonctionnels. Rien ne se passeC'est la première fois que je travaille dans mon manuel depuis la mise à jour et je réalise que

I'm having an issue with placing objects. When I press 'Cnrl+D' to place an object and use the search bar in the file explorer nothing happens and I can't file any files I'm looking for unless trawling through manually.  - I'm on windows- It's not an issue of typos- Searching for a file outside of InDesign works perfectly fine and locates files as it should

how can i get my parent page elements be ON TOP  of elements on each pg?

Bonjour, Depuis la dernière mise à jour d'InDesign nous avons plusieurs bugs sur l'application (5 postes de travail dans notre agence) : les blocs de texte deviennent blancs lorsqu'on rédige, il n'est pas possible de revenir en arrière (ctrl + z) plus de 5 fois, l'application se ferme quand l'ordinateur se met en veille, latence des déplacements entre les pages...Nous avons mis à jour le logiciel > pas d'améliorationPuis réinstallé > pas d'amélioration Est-ce que ces bugs ont été identifiés et est-ce des solutions ont été trouvées? Je vous remercie par avance ! Bonne journée!     

I’m experiencing frequent hyphenation issues when using justified text in Adobe InDesign. Words are breaking too often, which makes paragraphs look uneven and hard to read. I’ve tried adjusting basic hyphenation settings, but the problem persists. What advanced settings, paragraph style options, or best practices can help reduce excessive hyphenation while keeping text properly justified?
