InDesign

Seit ich den neuen iMac24 M4 und den neuen Drucker OKI C 650 besitze, kann ich keine InDesign-Dokumente in guter Qualität drucken.Schriften und Farbflächen werden zu schwach und mit unscharfen Kanten dargestellt. Farbflächen mit 100% werden nur in 50 % dargestellt.Seltsam ist, dass die gleichen Features in Photoshop korrekt ausgegeben werden.Niemand kann mir seit Wochen helfen, ADOBE nicht, APPLE nicht und OKI schon gar nicht !!!

Hello, I would like to know if there is a quick way to reduce the size of a page's content, using either InDesign or Acrobat. It is an Indesign book of over 1,000 pages (composed of several documents).Each page consists of a frame and a block of text. Here is an example: on the left is what I currently have, and on the right is what I want:image01.pngThank you in advance for your help.

Um die Vereinszeitschrift zu versenden, müssen die Adressaten an speziellen Orten ausgegeben werden - mit ID Seriendruck wunderbar machbar - mit WORD eine Qual und nur in DIN-Formaten.Das Verwaltungsprogramm gibt die Daten standardmäßig im txt/csv+"-Format "xxx<CR>xxx<CR>";"yyy";"zzz";<CR> aus. Die erste Spalte können 2-6Zeilen sein. weiter hinten ist eine Spalte muit immer 13Zeilen - die einem spezielen Font zugewiesen sind, der das Zeichen " nicht kennt.InDesign kann nur eine Zeile lesen - aber wenn ich nur dieses spezielle Feld aufrufe funktionierts - wenn andere Felder dabei sind nicht.Mit Trennzeichen und " kann ich viel einstellen - damit geht Word vielleicht nicht mehr, aber anderes. Blos wie?Könnte man den Seriendruckblock aus einem andern System (z.b. .pdf) - ein Dolument, 1000 Adressblöcke auf 1000 Seiten importieren?Ich habe zwar eine Lösung - aber DHL macht exakte Positionierungsvorschriften, prüft und zertifiziert dies mit KI. Da bin ich noch nicht durch.

In der Regel kopiert man bei einem Hex-Farbcode das #-Zeichen mit. Auch bei Adobe Color wird der komplette Hex-Code inklusive # kopiert. Leider muss man in Programmen wie z. B. InDesign den Farbcode aber ohne # eingeben. Das ist oft supernervig! Warum kann man das Eingabefeld nicht so erweitern, dass es ein Zeichen mehr erlaubt und das „#“ einfach ignoriert?    Normally, when you copy a hex color code, you also copy the “#” symbol. Adobe Color also copies the full hex code including “#”. Unfortunately, in programs like InDesign you have to enter the color code without “#”. That’s often super annoying! Why can’t the input field be extended to allow one more character and simply ignore the “#”?

My footnotes are putting the footnotes' reference numbers at the end of the footnote line instead of at the beginning. For example,instead of: 1   First footnote. It is doing:First footnote. 1 How do I fix this? I've played everywhich way with the composer settings, I even downloaded and tried fixing it using the Hebrew/ME version of INDD...adjusting the right to left and left to right. Also looked at styles, footnotes options, even found a js that forced the doc to the proper composer. Nothing is fixing this annoying issue... so far.The reference number in the body text is good as is the reference in the footnote, but I can't help but thinking that I am missing something obvious.  Latest INDD version on a Windows 11 machineIdeas are appreciated. Meanwhile, will start a new doc to see if mine is simply corrupted. Should have probably tried that an hour ago. lolThanks,Rob

Indesign 2025 (21.1)Mac OS 13.7.8 I'm posting on behalf of a contact, so I can't share the source file. Problem:My contact has had issues where one of his credit lines on any given spread (the text that runs up parallel to the gutter in the screenshot) disappears when he overrides the item to update the text and later shuffles the pages to reorder his articles. There should be two on either side of the gutter. The credits remain on the parent pages, and the text still appears when he exports to PDF. Reapplying the parents to the pages in question doesn't resolve the issue. The information is still there, but how to prevent it is a mystery to me. I've figured out how to reset the credit after the fact (Pages Panel > Parent Pages > Remove All Local Overrides). My two main questions are what is happening here, and is there a way to adjust the InDesign file to prevent it?  Thank you!

Hi! I wasnt really sure how to word or ask this question, so any attempts to google it proved unfruitful. I am trying to make a label layout, so I want to make a bunch of image frames that will change whenever I change like, the first original image frame? Like when I put a new design in the first box, all the other images change as well. Would this be with tiling somehow? Or does my wording make sense? I can provide some screenshots if that would help. Much appreciated if anyone could tell me how to do this!

Hello,I want to make a photobook and the supplier offers an Indesign template which customers can use for creating the cover and the innerwork. https://www.fotofabriek.nl/pdf-upload/view-specification/243f5ab3-f5c1-48cf-aee5-7ef1d2f1365e/I have downloaded the template for the innerwork and it's going to be an A4 book (landscape), so the size is 210x297 for a page, making it 216x303 for a single page, and 216x600 for a spread of 2 pages (not 606 because you only have 2 bleeds in stead of 4, if I'm correct).So in Photoshop I have created my first test-spread (2 pages) and I have set the image-size to 216x600 (300 dpi) and filled it for test purposes with pink.But when I place that image into the template it shows the image way too large for the template (see image). Why is that? indesign.jpg

Upon writing an interactive pdf from indesign will 21.1 under macOS 26.2 (25C56), that pdf will open in acrobat but not in preview. Preview informs me that “Apple could not verify “pdf Title” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy. Any idea why, and what to do about it?  Thanks!

I was making a 60 page book with 39 fonts and many of the graphics with feathered edges. What I've ried so far is to start a new book in 3 or segments. But now even opening InDesign for the START of the book, after doing well for much longer (half a day with hardly anything accomplished because I was listening to tutorials while the program sat open) It is frozen. I thought with the new book I'd fist go find some Adobe Fonts so that I'd be SURE there was no "missing font" messages.  I went looking for templates to choose from to possibly make my life easier, but so far haven't found them.I've watched many tutorials over these months to get answers on hw to do things, and am puzzled because everyone has a different way to do the same thing. I'm sure I do much better work with a limited pallet.

Heute in Indesin V 21.0.2. x64 einen neuen Indesign-integrierten Proportionaleditor gefunden.Z.B. 2 von 5 Spalten in Indesign 2 Spalten gefüllt mit Text und Bild soll auf 3-4 Spalten um ca. 20% erweitert werden, so das die Spaltenfüllungen, mit automatischem Umbruch erweitert werden. Mit etlichen Schriftarten/größen/Bildern in den Spalten z.Zt. sind bisher nur einzelne manuelle Änderungen aller Objekte, gößer/kleiner, um die Spalten im Inhalt zu erweitern.Jetzt gibt es einen neuen Indesign internen Editor zur proportionalen Erweiterung/Reduzierung einfach in % Schritten. Alle Objekte ändern Ihre Einstellungen proportional mit automatischem Umbruch in den Spalten.Bilder etc. Schriftgröße/Zeilenabstand und auch die Laufweite füllen jetzt die Spalten, größer/kleiner automatisch. Ein unglaubliches neues Erlebnis im Umbruch der Arbeit. Reinhard

when moving my images which i text wrap and detect edges, indesign always freezes.very annoying

I’m having a tough time with a "Share for Edit" (i.e., "InCopy for the web") document. It is sluggish to open from InDesign (MacOS, 21.1), and I see the "spinning beach ball" far too often, and for far too long even when trying to do simple things, like scroll. The document isn't particularly challenging—text only, no graphics, maybe 100 pages.  While I can "see” the document through the browser, opening it in InDesign seems to be a nonstarter. As if there is some sort of handshake or timeout problem with the server. Force Quit, try again. Repeat. Sometimes I can get the document to open, but thus far, after several dozen tries, no luck saving it locally (i.e., back as .INDD) so I can actually use the document. Adobe doesn't seem to give us any option for directly downloading the .INDDL. My editor spent a lot of time updating that document (despite all the hassles of "InCopy for the web"), and I would hate to lose all the changes she made. Does anyone have any other

I obtained the spread coordinates using the TransformInnerPointToSpread method. I want to convert these to page coordinates.

Hi All,I have to implement the functionality to modify/update paragraph style without text range selection.  Is there any other way to do this?  Thanks in advance.

I’ve been running into extreme frustration with InDesign and Adobe lately.I’m trying to embed images after a Data Merge, and despite multiple troubleshooting attempts, I can’t get it to work.Here’s what I’ve tried:Column headers in Excel prefixed with @imagesBoth relative and absolute pathsCSV UTF-8, comma-delimited sourcesTab-delimited text filesInDesign does recognize the image field (shows the image icon), but when I create the merged document, it cannot find the image. It seems to ignore the path I specify and constructs its own incorrect path.Example:InDesign looks for:G:\OneDrive\Excels\Python-Image-Download-Rename\Filename.jpgCorrect path in my datasource:G:\OneDrive\Excels\Python-Image-Download-Rename\downloaded_images\Filename.jpgFor some reason, it keeps omitting the \downloaded_images\ folder.Getting Data Merge to work in InDesign is already tricky, but this issue with images is extremely frustrating. Over the past few weeks, I’ve encountered more and more problems, especial

I have created a Table Style which includes all the relevant Cell styles for Header and Body and Paragraph styles for each. When I create a new table the cell styles are completely ignored and the cell style is [none]+ any help here would be great, I just want to create a table that uses my styles, thank you

Hello, while working on an InDesign template, I noticed that the reading orderin Acrobat generates some empty fields/boxes. Here is the picture: DavidSmerda_0-1766070714889.pngHere is how it looks in the reading panel: DavidSmerda_1-1766070762250.pngIs it possible to prevent the creation of these within InDesign? Here is how the story looks inside InDesign: DavidSmerda_2-1766070903269.pngThe :: at the end of the line are from DataMerge unused placeholder and while it generates an entry in Tags panel, it do not bother me so much as opposed to the empty fields with no values:DavidSmerda_3-1766071100402.pngDavidSmerda_4-1766071141286.pngPlease, let me know if the generation of these empty values can be prevented.Best regards, David

I've been using InDesign for like a decade. In all that time "Dynamic Spelling" function has always been terrible for Turkish language. It underlines some words which are correct in every way bu then again skips some words which are totally wrong. Besides, it makes horrible suggestions for underlined words. Take a look at the screenshot, for example. The word "kuruyemiş" is a combined word which is written without a space. However, it not only underlines the word but also suggest a list of variations which are ALL WRONG. It seems like all the misspelled versions of this word has been entered into the dictionary as "correct" at some point in the past, and InDesign has been using the same dictionary for years. I am tired of copying everything into Word, make a proper spellcheck, and then again insert the text into Indesign.  Don't you think it's about time someone update the dictionary in Turkish? If anyone from Adobe is reading this post, please consider this me

A scripting question. If I select any anchored object, I can get their position using this: function main() { var myAnchoredObject = app.selection[0]; if (!myAnchoredObject.hasOwnProperty("anchoredObjectSettings")) { alert("The selected item does not support anchored object settings."); return; } var posType = getAnchoredPositionType(myAnchoredObject.anchoredObjectSettings.anchoredPosition); alert("Anchored Position: " + posType); } function getAnchoredPositionType(anchoredPosition) { switch (anchoredPosition) { case AnchorPosition.INLINE_POSITION: return "INLINE"; case AnchorPosition.ABOVE_LINE: return "ABOVE_LINE"; case AnchorPosition.ANCHORED: return "CUSTOM"; default: return "UNKNOWN (" + anchoredPosition.toString() + ")"; } } app.doScript(main); But if the anchored object is a Flex Object, I always get this:The selected item does not support anchored object settings. So, is it possible to get the Anchored Object Setting of a FlexObject? Or Adobe forget to give access to this i

Captions..How to increase or decrease photo and caption that is inset into text (or if not.. same problem either way) and ensure caption stays the same size (have set a paragraph style already). Have tried combinations of shift and command, have tried paragraph style with a style after. Have tried object styles.Captions are static generated with metadata inserted in Bridge.Can't be live captions as some captions are two lined. Thanks.Screenshot 2025-12-27 at 9.31.47 AM.png 

I’ve created a book layout for a novel (A5) approx. 200 pages with 31 chapters. They are single pages not facing pages. I’ve done the page numbers and also have the book title at the top of each page (created on the A master page) but I want to put the title of each chapter at the top of each odd numbered page. Do I need 31 parent pages? Any suggestions as to how to do this whilst keeping the page numbering running correctly? Thanks!

The File menu offers "Print booklet," but this refers to the currently-focused document only. How do you print your whole book that way?

Jag har jobbat i Indesign 2022. Nu har jag uppdaterat till senaste versionen och hittar då inte mina filer från den äldre versionen. Hur kan jag öppna gamla filer i den nya versionen? / Jenny
