InDesign

This isn't a sudden thought—it's been bothering me for a long time.Sometimes calling :"myObj.clearObjectStyleOverrides();"has no effect.Pressing Alt doesn't help either.But clicking “Clear Undefined Style Properties” works.What is the code for “Clear Undefined Style Properties”?

Hi All,  We are an architect company in UK and 2 of our colleagues in the office have updated their 2020 iMac's to OS Tahoe and although their hardware is more than capable of running InDesign & Vectorworks at the same time, since updating, they can't run these 2 programmes at the same time. After doing some reading and Chat GPT, it seems Adobe are having problems with compatibility with Tahoe? Vectorworks (even 2024) seems to be ok with the update. Are there any plans for better compatibility with Tahoe soon? Or any tips in the meantime would be most appreciated. Thanks Roger 

I'm not sure if my assessment is completely accurate, but I've found that my PDFs aren't exporting colours accurately. For whatever reason, whenever I export a PDF/X-1a:2003 file, my blacks are completely crushed and it seems as if things have been exported in the wrong colour profile.  I have a CMYK image with a colour profile of Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004) (as per my printer's request).I import this image into InDesign with a working space profile of Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004) (the same as the image).I then go to export a PDF/X-1a:2003 (as per my printer's request - settings in screenshot below).For whatever reason, the colours reproduced in the PDF are quite different to the source image and to what I see in InDesign. Is there something I'm missing? As far as I can tell, everything is in the correct format. Please see the screenshots below for more info (apologies if they're a bit out of order - struggling to get them in the correct order).&nbsp

Our group recently started working on the Cloud in Box. When I place a tif or psd file and save it as a new file name, add an adjustment layer and relink to that new file it shifts placement in InDesign. I'm on CC 2019. When the file was packaged to my desk this happened again. This doesn't happen with jpegs or new files created on my desktop using the same images. No one else in my group is having the same issue. Anyone else see this happening? Thanks for any thoughts on this -Karen

I'm having two issues with Object Styles in Applescript. First, there's creating the object style... set mystyle to make new object style of mydoctell mystyleset name to "3rd Party"set fill color to "Paper"set stroke color to "Black"set stroke weight to 0.5set stroke type to "Solid"set properties of text frame preferences to {ignore wrap:true, inset spacing:{"1p0", "1p0", "1p0", "1p0"}, auto sizing type:off}end tell It does everything except the text frame preferences. I've phrased it every way I can think of but none of the text frame preference settings work. Second, I can't get it to apply the object style to a text frame.  tell myframeset applied object style to object style mystyleend tell Again, I've tried multiple phrasing options and nothing happens.  Any clues out there?

For the past couple of years (can't remember exactly what version of InDesign or Windows it started) I've had constant issues with InDesign not displaying objects properly after doing an edit or scrolling. Sections of the screen will have all the artwork offset by a pixel or two so lines don't match up, or the selection boxes of objects are slightly offset from the objects themselves. If I toggle preview off and then back on again (with W) it fixes it up, it all snaps back into place. But this happens CONSTANTLY. I'll fix it up and a few edits later it's back again. I thought it might have just been my work laptop configuration (HP Zbook Studio, Windows 11) however I worked on my home laptop (Asus ROG Zephyrus 15) and it did the same thing so I can't blame that. Happens on any file I have so it's not the file itself.  I've always had an issue with vector graphics just going "blank" until you do the ol' WW trick so maybe it's a continuation of that? I feel like the poor c

I have had an ongoing issue for over a month. When I go to convert my InDesign files to pdf, it does not do anything. It is just sitting there doing nothing. Then when I try to close the file, it tells me it can not close because of a background task, etc. I have had to continuously go to task manager to shut down InDesign. This is really a problem for me. I am using Adobe InDesign 2025

I don't know what its English name is.So I often can't find it.Perhaps it should be called TextFrameOptions. https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#ObjectStyle.htmlIn the English version ID, is what I see on the interface the same as the name in ExtendScript? Perhaps it's here? But I'm not sure which one.https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#ChangeObjectPreference.html 

Hello,I've been creating files in Adobe InDesign but when I save as a pdf, some of the text get's jumbled for others that I send the file out to but on my end, everything looks fine. Not sure if it's a coding issue or something else. I've been asking around my department but to no avail.

Hi everyone,I'm from Germany and thus have the German CC version.Have massive performance problems on all our PC/Win devices with InDesign.Of course I've already searched for a solution by myself and have already done the standard tasks - without any positive effect. That's why I write here, fervently hoping for a good and sensible answer instead of just standard copy & paste answers...1st I started with the preferences - and found nothing. The official Adobe post says:https://helpx.adobe.com/de/indesign/using/gpu_performance.html^^But although it's title is general it's written Mac specific. I actually have NO "GPU Performance" entry in the preferences list in InDesign (while in Illustrator and Photoshop I have that for years).I also have NO animated zoom as described in the article and it's all dead slow, so I'm sure I'm in CPU mode. Why does GPU work in the complete graphics and video apps but NOT in InDesign?Have a NVIDIA RTX Studio certified notebook with a RTX 3050 Mobile and

I need to cover up specific content in a document with a blank box, and then export the PDF without being able to see the content under the box. Right now I can open the PDF in Acrobat and delete the blank box and the content is still there underneath. This even happens when I export with the Acrobat 4 with PDF/X-1a:2001 settings.  Is there any way to do that?  I know can put the content on a layer and delete the layer before exporting, but that's a very impractical solution. I would prefer to just export what is visible in the document.  

Hii would like to run a script to highlight the text variables frame just so that when i am working in the file i can see what is a variable and share with the client on what variable text that have in the file.I know i can do it as a character style as below, (i have used orange to highlight the variable tex) but i really want to just highlight the box that the varible is within. Note not the text frame itself the actual variable frame that indesign adds pctured inside the text frame below. Please can anyone help with this  

Hola, tengo que maquetar un libro —el original en Word—que contiene muchas páginas, imágenes y notas y debido a su complejidad, es necesario dividirlo por capítulos y utilizar el formato libro de InDesign ya que en caso contrario InDesign se colapsa y se cierra constantemente. El problema es que cuando separo el contenido en varios archivos de InDesign y los traigo al libro, todas las notas (que son notas al final) se van generando en la última página de cada archivo, en vez de tenerlas todas en las páginas finales (en el último archivo) del libro. ¿hay algún modo para obtener todas las notas de un libro en un solo documento, al final?

Hello. Our marketing department is using the latest version of InDesign (20.5) and encountering an error that says "This file is already open by another use or another application." For some, this occurs as soon as the file opens, and for others, it occurs after the file has been opened for a while. The files that are encountering this issue are not ones that someone else would have open at the same time. Instead, they are files saved to a local drive and files that are opened from an INDT in CC library. So far, we have tried rolling back to ID 20.4.2 but are still encountering the issue.

I just upgrade to a new computer using same Indesign version (current 2024) . when I try to print, I'm unable to choose the transparency flatener option since it is desactivated... When I open the same file on my previous computer using the same version of indesign, I have access to that drop down menusee attached image      <Title renamed by MOD>  

I have 1600+ assets in my library that currently need rebranding, varying from facts sheets to long winded financial services application forms. Looking for the quickest solution to the problem. New fonts to be replacing old across all docs. Also, new cover and back pages needed throughout. Are there any scripts that can help batch update this? 

When creating a new object style, I want to simultaneously assign a shortcut key for it.However, I haven't found the corresponding properties. Please advise. I currently want to set the shortcut key to: Ctrl+Alt+Num2 https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#ObjectStyle.html  

Hello, everyone.This is frustrating.It's not here? Isn't it called lineHeight?https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/index.html#ParagraphStyle.html 

Hi,Hope this is the right place to post and I have tried to find similar thread - but they're all a little different. I cant get an Adobe Font family to load in Indesign. Ive restarted eveything, relogged into CreativeC loud. Its working in Illustrator but not Indesign. Its really frsutrating. Im not trying to load my own fonts but trying to use one of yours. I dont get it. I dont necessarily think its a software/upgrade based issue. This has happened in the past. Its why i prefer to set up douments in Illustrator. I dont have any fonts of the same name loaded so there shouldnt be any conflicts. MAC: iMac 2017OS: Mac Sequoia 15.6.1Indesign: 20.5 Thank you for your time!Font (in this instance): Akzidenz-Grotesk Next

Hello everyone.I'm trying to export my ebook into a reflowable epub format. However, I'm running into some problems with the position of anchored images and, despite searching online for a few days, I've been unable to fix it. I'm using images for my chapter headers since there is a graphic in the chapter titles. I anchored the image to the space right BEFORE the first letter of the first word of each chapter. When exporting the file, I make sure "preserve appearance from layout" is selected and that the CSS Size is set "relative to text flow" and "align center" for object settings. However, for two of my chapters, the chapter header appears randomly AFTER the first paragraph instead of before it The others do not do this. I tried restarting the program, deleting the images and replacing them--neither worked. I had it show hidden characters to make sure it's anchored in the correct place, and even went to text threading to make sure it was flowing properly. It all seems right

Bonjour à tous. est-il possible de créer un chemin de fer (gestion de pages) dans indesign ? ou existe t'il un plugin ? Merci pour vos reponse.

Hello,For a campaign the company is working for I had created a document in InDesign, after closing it I encountered the next day InDesign closing immediately upon opening with the message that a serious error was detected. Conceding to that the document was corrupted/damaged and making the assumption that it could have been due to me saving the document to a shared folder in my company's Google Drive, I started a manual recovery by recreating the file on my device itself. After recreating it and opening the document again today I ran into the same issue. All other InDesign files I have are completely fine. Anyone have some insights into this problem? I am on InDesign 20.5 (have installed previous versions and the current beta to see if that helped – it did not)I am on MacOS Sequoia 15.6.1 (on a company managed device with local admin rights)

Am I dreaming? I thought I'd come across a keyboard shortcut involving the F3 key that cycled through the "change case" function -- possibly in conjunction with another key (cntrl, alt, shift?), but today it's not working. Maybe this is a keyboard shortcut in some other software and I've just gotten myself confused? Does anyone know anything about this? If this cycle-through feature doesn't exist in InDesign, it should, and if no one knows about this particular shortcut -- maybe I am dreaming -- I'll go add it to the feature request page.

The way IndDesign works, increases the file size each saving time. File become unbearable and difficult to process, even in fast computers... It would be nice to have a chance to reduce the file size without recurring to the 'save as' method, that, sometimes doensn't work either.  

I am having an issue when trying to print a document from inDesign. The paper I use is unique (size and perforations) and I have it set up within the program but when I print, it comes out different. The margins look differnt and some of the text is cut off, even though it is all within the margins of the document in the program. Any suggestions to get it to print exactly as I see on my screen?
