How to start pagination on page 3 and not on page 1 of a book?

Hi All,I am using Indesign 2025 and 2026; I would like to enable the "Adjust Layout" option in my documents through the Indesign scripting by using "AdjustLayoutPreference" object properties as in InDesign ExtendScript API, but Indesign throwed error is "Eval Error (#55): "Object does not support the property or method 'adjustLayoutPreferences'". below is my code:var myDocument = app.activeDocument;try { myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.enableLayoutAdjustment=true;myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.allowGraphicsToResize=false;myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.allowRulerGuidesToMove=false;myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.ignoreObjectOrLayerLocks=true;myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.ignoreRulerGuideAlignments=true;myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.snapZone = 0;} catch (error) {myDocument.adjustLayoutPreferences.enableAutoAdjustMargins=true;myDocument.adjustLayoutPreferences.enableAdjustLayout=true;myDocument.adjustLayoutPreferences.allowLockedObjects

Hi Adobe Fans and Fanatics,I’m experiencing a persistent issue with text buttons and link selection in an Interactive PDF created in InDesign. Within InDesign, everything functions as expected. However, once I export the document to an Interactive PDF, the button behaviour becomes incorrect.Each text button is configured with the same actions and is intended to reveal a hidden button on rollover or click (as shown in Example 1 below).Ex_1.pngRecently, instead of triggering the correct hidden button, the rollover appears to activate a different link positioned below it (see Example 2 below).Ex_2.pngTo troubleshoot, I have:Reapplied all button actionsRecreated buttons from scratchRe-exported multiple times over several weeks Despite this, the issue persists. There are no overlapping text buttons or links in the layout, and the stacking order appears correct. Could someone please advise on what might be causing this behaviour, or whether this is a known issue with Interacti

HELP!Adobe, via CC, recently upgraaded my CC to 2026 and now, when i open an INDD doc (and I have have 100's) I cant select pages or master pages.  It allows me to click on a page but it wont allow me to chose another page or master from then.   It drives me nuts that an app gets updated and then doesnt work and you xcant call anyone to fix it! Please help somebody tony

It looks like the InDesign (and the rest of the CC apps) are finally certified as compatible with Mac OS 26 Tahoe. Does anyone have any real world experience running the latest version? https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/apps/system-requirements/apps-compatible-macos.html  

The chat experts will only send me a link to the 19.0 version and we need the 19.1 update for our plugin to work.

I’m trying to create an accessible PDF. The screen reader (voiceover on Mac) pauses after each line. Apparently this is caused by the document’s structure. The paragraph element contains separate tags for each line. How can I avoid this?This is what the tag structure looks like in Acrobat: Bildschirmfoto 2026-01-06 um 15.47.56.png

I am a long-time Adobe Creative Cloud subscriber and a digital publisher specializing in ancient history and mythology projects. I have a massive archive of interactive educational materials built over the years using ActionScript 2.0 (AS2) and InDesign-to-SWF workflows. Due to the recent hardware upgrade to an Apple Silicon (M3) Mac, I am struggling to maintain my workflow. As you know, modern versions of InDesign have removed the 'Export to Flash Player (SWF)' feature, and modern Animate versions no longer support AS2. To keep my historical archives alive and to continue my work on my journals (Kallistes Art and MythoAnarkhia), I urgently need official installer links for: InDesign CC 2019 (v14.0.3) - The last version supporting SWF Export. Flash Professional CS6 or CC 2014 - The last versions with stable AS2 support. I am a verified paid subscriber. Is there any 'ProDesignTools' official archive or a direct legacy installer link you can provide for macOS? These projects represent ye

Bonjour, Depuis que j'ai installé la nouvelle versions v 20.5.1 et v21.0.2, je n'arrive plus à sauvegarder mes fichiers. En effet, je peux ouvrir et travailler sur mes fichiers In Desing, mais lorsque je veux "enregistrer"ou "enregistrer sous", il y a une nouvelle fenêtre qui s'ouvre, toute noir et rien ne se passe.  Merci de votre retour. 

Buenos días,el día de ayer comenzamos a tener problemas con el texto en InDesign. El problema consta que mientras vamos escribiendo este texto desaparece, se parte o se tapa una parte. Esto parece ser como si se pusiese el texto invisible y a veces como una pastilla de color, pero recuerdo, que solamente se tocan las letras las cuales se deben poner en el documento. Si alguien sabe la solución o sabe cual es el problema nos gustaría saber cual es la manera de poder seguir usando estos programas, debido a que somos estudiantes y no tenemos otra opción. Muchas gracias.

This is what I get for trying to be hip and cool, LOL. I shared a simple one page file with a team member to see if the online InCopy idea could work for our process. Not a great experience but that's another story. I opened the file in InDesign this morning to make some edits and I can't do any edits. I was trying to do a find/replace and it doesn't 'see" the copy. I read about check-in and check out but I can't solve it that way. No the text box is not locked.  

Hello,  Is there an alternative in adobe for Woodwing to work online with a small group? A publication overview per edition is important.  Greetings, Marco 

Hi, my version of Indesign has recently updated itself to allow for a touch-screen facility (absolutely pointless). Since then Indesign no longer works. Now I cannot use the arrow keys, the backspace key or the return key. Also control c, control s and control everything else no longer works. An excellent additional feature is when you double click on something, the whole page dissapears. Awesome update guys!!Has anyone else had this issue and if so - is there a way to resolve it?

Bonjour,Pour la mise en page d'un ouvrage scientifique, l'auteur demande une double numérotation des notes de bas de page.C'est à dire, une numérotation normale en chiffres arabes pour les notes de l'auteur et une deuxième numérotation en chiffres romains pour les notes du traducteur.Ceci est-il possible avec InDesign et si oui, comment procéder ?D'avance merci pour votre aide, bien cordialement,C. S.

Background:  I have used the ExportAllStories applescript, and variations of the ExportAllStories applescript, since InDesign 2017 with no surprises.  I have not had any problem with it until today when I used it inside InDesign 2026.  Context: I'm running Sequoia and InDesign 2026.  Does anyone know if Sequoia security somehow blocks the scripted export function of InDesign?  I know it's a long shot, but I cannot get any version of this ExportAllStories script to export an RTF or text file, and in addition, I cannot see why using scriptdebugger.... All its variables set up properly, I verified this, but the export function doesn't work. Has anyone else experience this fail to export problem? Thank you!

Hello everyone, I’m working with the InDesign C++ SDK and need to determine whether a given text frame is a caption created using InDesign’s Metadata / Live Caption feature. Specifically, given a UIDRef of a text frame, I want to programmatically check:whether the text frame is a caption (metadata/live caption).Are there any recommended or official APIs/bosses to reliably identify caption text frames?Any guidance, best practices, or SDK references would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am teaching students Indesign and was teaching basic graphic frames.Usually an image within a graphic frame has a circle in the center that allows you to select the image inside in the frame. One student did not have this circle in the centre of her image, and instead when she tried to resize the frame the image within it would also resize?Please advise!

Hello,This should be a simple thing, but I can't get it to work.I am trying to import Japanese text, vertical from right to left, into InDesign CS5J so I can edit the text.The text is in Word written vertically and from right to left.However, when imported it into InDesign CS5 it changes to horizontal.The format (書式) is set to vertical composition (縦組み) and the text tool is set to vertical (縦組み文字ツール).I know CS5J is old, but it is what I have and has worked fine until this.Any help in solving this will be greatly appreciated. Stay safe and enjoy!

I am working on my first InDesign book and I have created a TOC that works beautfifully, BUT when I export, it shows up at the back of the epub, not at the start. How can I fix this.I am learning InDesign on my own and everything is new.

Hi!I have looked around in the community and found a few topics, which I must admit I did not understand. (I am far from "code wizard"...)What I want to do is replace one or more characters etc, but keep others. I believe this can be done in GREP, but my attempts have been unsuccessful.Example:Search for "(any lowercase letter) (any uppercase letter)" - with a space in the middle.Change to "(the found lowercase letter)./r(the found uppercase letter)" - thus insert a full stop and a new paragraph instead of the space, but keeping the two letters surrounding it.a Rbecomesa.RGrateful for instructions. 🙏

When a swatch is added to or removed from the Swatches panel in the document workspace, I need to capture this event.Which protocol should I observe?In my observer implementation, I attached like this:InterfacePtr<ISubject> wsSubject(workspaceRef, IID_ISUBJECT); wsSubject->AttachObserver( ISubject::kBothAttachments, this, IID_ISWATCHLIST, IID_SELECTION_CHANGE_IOBSERVER );  However, in my Update() function:if (protocol == IID_ISWATCHLIST) { // never reached } I cannot receive any notifications at all.What is the correct way to observe swatch creation and deletion events in the workspace?

If you have indd files you are inserting those files into a new indd file and exporting that as a pdf - it fails. (meaning, several placed indd file, lose their images and text - but not all) the pdf is rendered useless. There have been enough of us trying to struggle with this.  WHEN WILL IT BE RESOLVED?Thank you.
