InDesign

I need an official installer for InDesign 2024 because of a plugin compatibility.

The "Copy Link(s) To" function in the Links window was broken in one of the recent updates. Now when you copy links, it *breaks* the existing links in your document, and redirects the paths to the location that you copied to. This pretty much makes the feature unusable. Was this an intentional change? Any workarounds or fixes for this? 

I'm not the best scripter but finding bits and cobbling them together seems to be working for me so far.I was using InDesign 2023 (moved to 2024/2025), but as newer files started coming in I had to install 2025 as well.   Opening a newer file in 2023 triggers the online conversion, but it regularly gets stuck at 33%, so I ended up having to open the file directly in 2025 (and soon, probably 2026). It worked, but it was a bit cumbersome.   So I cobbled together a small script that I now run from InDesign 2023. It asks for the file location, launches 2025, saves an IDML in the same folder, and that’s it — no fuss.   I did try to: automatically close 2025 afterwards (gave up on that), and open the resulting IDML automatically (I’ve associated IDMLs with 2023 at OS level), but I couldn’t get that working either.   Still, with a bit of BridgeTalk experimentation and some trial-and-error, this is where I landed, and I’m about 99% happy with it.   First things first:Run this small script

HiI am have some real issues when trying to save documents.  Error messages like "unable to save this file, but it appears to be damaged" to "error code 2". I'd tried:Saving to IDML files - with some success but not an ideal solutionCopying/Pasting content onto a new document (no success)Uninstalling Indesign and re-installing a previous version (no success) This is happening across multiple files so I am reluctant to think it is just one file gone corrupt.  Any any advice? Considering uninstalling the whole CC suite and starting again. Thanks

Ich versuche mit einer Excel-Tabelle einen Katalog mittels Datenzusammenführung zu erstellen.Beim Importieren der Tabelle (egal ob als .txt oder .xls) erkennt Indesign nicht, dass eine Spalte der Tabelle Pfade zu Bildern enthält. Es steht immer das (Text-)T vor der erkannten Spalte im Feld Datenzusammenführung. Auch das Umbenennen der Spalte in `@Fotos hat nicht geholfen.Was mache ich falsch? Die Bilder liegen alle im selben Ordner ab wie die Excel-Tabelle und auch die Pfade sind richtig eingetragen.

HiI'm using InDesign ver.  21 on Windows 11 laptopWe copy paste text from MS Word, which is formatted with 'Times New Roman'In Indesign file, we use 'Adobe Garamond Pro' for bodycopy.On rare intances, the single quote shows up as missing.We normally go for Find and Replace Any solutions for this, why it happens ?Thanks 

This is an odd one, I double click on an indesign file, indesign and the file opens up but indesign goes to the background on my Mac, and the finder to the foreground then the Mac doc appears and stays there, I have to then click on the indesign layout to bring it to the front, the doc still stays until I click on something else on the doc then it disappears. This started when an agency sent me a brochure to work on and now it is happening with every file I open. I have searched and not found anyone with the same problem. So far I have deleted the Indesign preferences and that didn't fix it, then updated to the latest indesign and that didn't work either. Both illustrator and photoshop are working great. I would be grateful for any advice. Thank you. My set up is: Mac Studio 2023, 64GB ram, Sequoia 15.7.1, Indesign 2026.

Comprei notebook snapdragon e fiquei sabendo que não é compatível com Adobe, tem algo alguma adaptação pra fazer ou já era?

Any news about when Indesign will be available for Copilot+ PC with the Snapdragon X chipset?Suddenly, I have trouble saving my files.

Hi everyone,I am facing a critical issue with a corrupted InDesign file that I cannot open.File details:Size: 1,712 KB (So data seems to be present).Issue: The file crashes InDesign immediately upon opening or hangs indefinitely.Troubleshooting steps I have already tried (without success):Resetting InDesign Preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift / Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+Shift).Trying to place the file into a new document.Running a "Blind Open" script to export to IDML (script fails or crashes).Changing the extension to .indt.Renaming the Links folder to force missing links.Since the file is not 0kb, I am hoping the internal database can still be salvaged.Could someone with Markzware tools or advanced recovery skills please take a look? I would be incredibly grateful if you could try to convert it to IDML for me.Here is the link to the file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NGUaocn1pbInkaMmvQzRksmjWTPFKBOt/viewThank you very much for your help!

I experienced this alert and crash of Indesign during the last days and I can't work with thos files again.I tried to open them in another computer with another Indesign version - but faced the same result: "unhide spread" followed Indesign crash

why is this exorting with a transparancy (pic 1) if in the doc (pic 2) it doesn't have any of it!? 

I am reporting a regression in InDesign 2025–2026.When pasting even very simple vector artwork from Adobe Illustrator, InDesign displays the warning:“This command would create a large number of page items and would severely degrade performance. Data will be placed as embedded EPS.”After confirming the warning, the pasted object becomes non-editable:- Ungroup is unavailable- Fill and stroke cannot be edited- The object cannot be used as an image frameThis workflow worked correctly in earlier InDesign versions and appears to be a regression.I have filed a detailed bug report with reproduction steps and screenshots on InDesign UserVoice:👉 [PASTE YOUR USERVOICE LINK HERE]If this behavior is intentional, please advise on a supported workflow to convert Illustrator vectors into native editable InDesign paths.

Hi everyone,I'm currently using InDesign (Beta) on my Windows PC because my SnapDragon X Plus processor isn’t compatible with the standard version of InDesign. However, since this morning, the application won’t launch anymore. I immediately get the following error message:"Your InDesign (Beta) build has expired."The strange thing is that I already have the latest available version installed, which is 20.6.Do you know when it will be possible to use InDesign (Beta) again?Will a new build be released soon so we can continue working with it?Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi. I am experiencing disappearing text blocks. I import text into my InDesign document via the Place command. When I try to edit the document, and insert the cursor, either all or a portion of the entire text block disappears. I Control Z to recover and make my correction, save, and move on. When I spot another correction I repeat the process and the text block again disappears, not every time, but sporadically. The worst part is that the correction I had made previously also disappears, even though I have been Saving after every single correction/addition. This began in late Deccember. I have uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign. I have swapped out mouses. Same issue.

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

 This has been happening the last 24 hours after an uninstall and reinstall.I'm losing hours of work, what is going on?  

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!
