InDesign

[moved from Creative Cloud desktop forum]   I'm filing this bug here as I'm not sure if it's an InDesign bug or a Creative Cloud services bug.   How to reproduce:   -In Creative Cloud desktop app, locate an InDesign cloud document -Choose the Open in Web menu   In the resulting page of the file, the Timeline icon doesn't appear:     The user will need to go to the file list (by clicking Files, for example), click the file, and then the Timeline icon will appear as expected:      

Check this idea out...Turn on Presentation Mode and leave it up in a second monitor while you work.Thoughts? Or is there already a way to do that?

Hello, I'm having a problem with Adobe InDesign. In a new document, I can type text normally, as expected. However, when I import an external image into an open InDesign document, the text appears thicker. There's no visible problem with the imported images, but the text is distorted; it appears bold or thicker than intended. I've done some checking. My document isn't corrupted, and the problem occurs even when I create a new document from scratch. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but the problem persists. There's no problem with the font files, but the same thing happens with other fonts. Laptop specifications:NVIDIA graphics card: GTX 1050Processor: Intel i7RAM: 32 GB Is there a solution to this?

when i try to download indesign it writes me that it is impossible, because of rusiia restriction. But  I registreted in another country. What is possible to do in this case?

Has anyone been able to get InDesign to install on Windows on ARM?  It's not listed in the Creative Cloud app.  I can't install from the InDesign installer.  I'm surprised it won't let me test it in emulation.

Is InDesign a book publishing program?  Does it have all the capabilities that Pagemaker had? Is it advisable, producing a file for a reprint, to scan a book and apply the OCR software in Acrobat and then make the edits in InDesign?

Whenever I install new fonts from Adobe's font website, the fonts do not appear in the drop-down menu on InDesign. I have restarted my computer, forced sync, and ensured that InDesign is up to date. I have also installed all these fonts directly onto my computer through the Creative Cloud, and they still do not show up.  This has been a problem four times now as I need to install new fonts for typesetting and book cover design regularly. Eventually, they do show up after hours, but that is not conducive to my work as these things need to be finished quickly. Is this a bug? Or this is an issue that I could somehow fix on my end? Thank you.   <Title renamed by MOD>

InDesign is driving me insane.For work, our primary font is Interstate OTF (Regular, Bold, Black, Light, Italic). I work in a mac environment (iMac 27" 5k, macOS High Sierra, Adobe CC 2018), and have the font family installed in Font Book. The family works fine in Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects. However, InDesign is fussy. Sometimes I can use it fine with no issues. Other times, "Bold" just won't be in my list of usable fonts.So, I took others advice from this forum, and installed the fonts in the InDesign fonts folder. Same result. Please help!

How can I place text from word into indesign without losing the formatting?(all the bold/ italic/ paragraphs should still be there.

I've seen similar problems but the steps suggested don't seem to be working. Several of my pop-out panels are getting cut off at the top, rendering them unusable. The most recent issue is with the gradient tool. I can't use the sliders unless I position my cursor above the gradient bar in a very specific place and cannot adjust the center point, never mind change it from linear to radial. This is happening with another menu but I can't recall which right now. I am on Mac 15.6.1 Sequoia running INDD 20.5. No updates available. Have restarted INDD multiple times, please help. This is incredibly frustrating.

Good evenning! Can sombody advice me of the various subscription rates and forms on offer plus the respective services for each of the rates. Also share links.  Thanks, Jack

I'm using the latest version of InDesign, I'm trying to make a fixed layout EPUB of a book for a client.  It goes through the process like normal, but the first few pages are too big for the ebook window, and the fonts are all different weights. I made a fixed layout EPUB of the same book in May, and it was perfect. I have now tried the second book in the series, and again, the same result: the first few pages are too big, and the fonts are messed up. I have now tried a totally different book from a different publisher, and it's the same; the first page is too big, and the fonts (different from the other book) are also screwed.  It's getting really frustrating, everything I change in the settings, and it produces the same epub. Can anyone help?

“In design cannot complete the auto-style workflow:- “try again later” This message is driving me up the wall and I'm sure there must be a simple solution. Any help please!

Hi! Once I've closed Indesign and reopened my project, my new text addition had no hypenation, and then when I tried to set it up again, the whole thing never came back.  I'm using Spanish dictionary and Hypenation is set to 'on' in my paragraph (applied on the text) style. 

Hi gang, Do you happen to know if InDesign 2025 supports certain PDF element tags? Have they improved/added on the following tags? Part  Code  Formula   Annot  BibEntry  Quote  BlockQuote (If this question sounds familiar, yes, I have asked this question every couple of years.) Last time I tested, the above tags were not directly supported in InDesign. Has that improved with the release of the InDesign 2025 version?

Dear Adobe Team,While using the "Business Card" option in your QR code generation interface, we noticed an area where improvements could significantly enhance the user experience.Currently, the interface consists of fixed fields, and it is not possible to add multiple phone numbers, email addresses, or other custom fields. However, many professionals today use more than one mobile or business phone number, alternate email addresses, or additional contact information. Therefore, having a more flexible and customizable form structure would be highly beneficial.We believe the following improvements would greatly enhance usability:Ability to add additional fields as needed (e.g., a “Add Phone Number” button)Option to remove unnecessary fieldsCustomizable field labels defined by the userSuch flexibility would allow both individual and corporate users to create much more comprehensive and functional business card QR codes.Thank you in advance for taking the time to consider our suggestion.

Hi, I cannot install InDesign in my Lenovo laptop (Snapdragon). Creative Cloud says it is not compatible. Then I try to install it on my former laptop, which I used to work on InDesign in the past, and I cannot install it neither because it has 4Go RAM only (but I did have InDesign on this laptop). Can anyone help me to find:- A compatible version for a Lenovo with Snapdragon- AND/OR a compatible version for 4Go RAM (CS6 or other) I am paying for it so I need to use it. Thank you in advance!

I have an unexplainable text gap and I've tried everything I can think of to fix it. When I back space from "Hellier" it just adds that word to the "before" section and retains the gap, so there don't seem to be any stray characters. I have text wrap on around an image above this, but the two sentences above seem to have no problem. I've been unable to detect the existence of any phantom blocks or objects. Help, please, this is driving me nuts and it's a short drive. 

Having a new issue adding fonts:I "add family" to activate fonts on the Adobe fonts website. Then I go to the Creative Cloud Fonts app, and the added fonts pane is blank. When I go back to the fonts website, it says the fonts are activated. The fonts don't show up in the fonts pane in Indesign. I tried turning off auto-activation and adding them when I open a doc, I've signed in and out of my account, I re-installed Creative Cloud. Nothing works. This started happening after updating my mac to Sequoia 15.7. Using Indesign 2025. Hard to work when you don't have the fonts you need. 

Am using CJK InDesign via Ken Lunde method -- have all the settings, but I can't figure out how to literally add the ruby characters to character. (Maybe hidden since I still have English UI?) Have looked in Character palette, story editor, under menus, but I'm stumped. Can import text that has Ruby included, but need to edit. Any help appreciated.  

I've figured out how to add lines directly underneath text by editing paragraph styles...but I'm trying to get a horizontal line to sit in the middle of two lines of text. Is there any way to do this or do I have to add each line manually?

I have an issue with InDesign 2025.I have a pdf with a dashed line in my document, it is being displayed it properly all along, but when I export the whole document as pdf (both interactive and print), the spacing between the dashes randomly changes. What can be done about this? Thank you!

Hello! Since updating to InDesign 2025 (v20.5), the behavior of scaling objects proportionally with the Shift key has changed. In previous versions, holding Shift while dragging a corner handle would keep the proportions. Now, proportions are kept by default, and pressing Shift breaks them. I don’t use any antivirus or custom keyboard layout. I’ve read that this issue can sometimes be related to third-party software such as antivirus tools, but that’s not the case here.Do you know if there’s a solution? Thanks!

Using the Selection Tool and Direct Selection ToolHow do I obtain the path of an image pasted inside?I tried using .parent, but it didn't work. var image = app.selection[0].parent; var imagePath = image.itemLink.filePath; The test file is here：https://musetransfer.com/s/hlryv6cor   try { //alert(app.selection[0].constructor.name); if (app.selection[0].constructor.name == "Image") { //alert("here"); var image = app.selection[0].parent; var imagePath = image.itemLink.filePath; //alert(imagePath); } else { var image = app.selection[0].images[0]; var imagePath = image.itemLink.filePath; //alert(imagePath); } } catch (e) { return }

I want to make it so that InterfacePtr and similar terms appear in Visual Studio's autocomplete suggestions.Does anyone know how?
