Bonsoir, Bien que j’ai remarqué que ce forum soit majoritairement anglophone, je vais soutenir ma langue : le Français. Je suis auteur et je prépare des livres. Je travaille exclusivement sur Apple : Mac M4 avec 26.5.1 Je me suis abonné en ce début de mois. Et à ma grande surprise malgré mon paiement je ne dispose pas d’un logiciel performant, je suis donc mécontent ! J’ai notamment 2 soucis importants qui me créent bien des soucis : lors d’un import de photo, toutes les pages suivantes deviennent vierges, pourquoi ? > je pense que çà un lien avec le gabarit/ J’ai aussi de gros problèmes avec la génération d’un sommaire. bien que j’ai créé des styles il m’importe des illustrations, pourquoi ? De plus lorsque j’exporte pour un epub, il met met un message d’erreur à cause d’une ancienne ancre. Tout çà me parait complèxe à résoudre… Quelqu’un a t il une solution. Portez vous bien.
Pretty simple and unusual bug. I haven’t noticed a pattern yet, but I have set a custom workspace at least 5+ times in the past 2 weeks and CC Libraries and Style Packs keep getting added. I have never added those and manually removed them multiple times (and then saved that workspace.)I have deleted the workspace and made a new one, overridden it, seemingly tried everything. This is such a small thing that is driving me crazy. InDesign 21.3 on Mac Tahoe 26.2. Before telling me to update to 21.4, I will not because of the bugs breaking simple layout and selection things :)
Congratulations to the development team! You actually managed to do it: The copy-paste bug that has been actively ignored in Illustrator for months has now officially arrived in InDesign. An absolute masterpiece of breaking fundamental operating system functions across the entire suite.Current state of the software: Copy-Paste Failure: Elements cannot be pasted, or doing so crashes the application instantly. Instant Freeze: Upon launch, InDesign freezes completely after about 2 clicks every second time it is opened (infinite spinning wheel). Preferences Reset: The preferences now literally delete themselves on every single restart. Please save yourself the generic "delete your preferences" or "reinstall the app" copy-paste answers. This is a deep-seated code issue within your shared components, not a user error.Just out of curiosity: Which elementary core features are you planning to ruin next and ignore for the foreseeable future?System Specifications: Software: InDesign (Latest 2
I've noticed that Indesign Publish Online now uses GA4. I've got a client that wants to historic data on their documant. Is there any way of retreiving this information? When did it change to GA4?
i cant do golden ratio in indesign and no curve and curve pen for that im going to illustrator i feel like why indesign is there ? can u guys explain
I've followed all the suggestions made by the virtual assistant and other AI, but my InDesign still freezes whenever I place an image. Any image, large or small, png or jpeg. I have reset all preferences and checked RAM and CPU - all good.

We’re trying to integrate the Beta version of InCopy into a process. As we test it out with different users, we noticed that some of the users are unable to open the files while others have no issues opening them. Everyone is using Chrome and there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why it doesn’t work. Any tips on getting files open for all users?
I’m doing the typesetting for a book that needs custom shapes behind some words (think the angled rectangles of National Geographic Kids or a watercolor brushed color). The shapes need to scale in size according to the text (like paragraph shading or borders.example of custom shapeAny advice would be most welcome!
Usually, if I got a fill or stroke color set (left in the toolbar) and draw a shape like a square, this fill and stroke (if any is set) will used to create this shape. Now - all of a sudden and who knows since when - it just ignores it?I have a color fill set, I draw the shape = the shape stays unfilled and without any stroke + the preset color and stroke just vanishes to nothing and I have to re-fill or add a stroke while the blank shape is selected….InDesign Version 21.4
Randomly, the cursor changes to thread text when clicking anywhere on a text box.It happens sometimes when trying to select a key object for alignment, when double-clicking on a text box to edit its content, when a text box is selected and I click outside of it (trying to deselect the text box). It doesn’t matter where in the text box I click (meaning, it’s not that I’m clicking on the out port by mistake).I already updated to the latest version, restarted my laptop, quit and restarted InDesign just in case… It’s been happening for days.InDesign version: 21.4.1macOs version: Tahoe 26.5.1
Hi everyone,I'm experiencing a very strange issue with Adobe InDesign 21.4.1 on macOS 26.5.1 (25F80).Whenever I simply click an object with the Selection Tool (black arrow), the object immediately moves a few pixels up and to the left. I'm not dragging it—a single click alone changes the object's position.To rule out document corruption, I created a brand-new blank document, drew a simple rectangle, and the exact same thing happens. Every click moves the rectangle slightly farther up and to the left.I've attached a short screen recording demonstrating the issue.What I've already tried:Created a brand-new document. Tested with a simple rectangle only (no images or text). Disabled Snap to Guides, Snap to Document Grid, and Smart Guides. Performed a completely clean installation of macOS. Installed InDesign from scratch on the fresh system (so this is effectively beyond resetting preferences). The issue persists even after the clean OS and application installation.System InformationInDesi
Hi All,I am on macOS 26.5.1 and testing on InDesign 2025. I notice that getFiles function is behaving strangely. If I do something like the following, I get 0Folder("/Users/manan/Documents").getFiles("").lengthThe same happens with other folders in this folder as well. Now, my script tries to use unPackageUCF and that too fails with these paths as input. I have noticed one thing, when the folders are created on the same day the code works fine. However, once the folders are older than a day the API starts failing. It does not make any sense to me. Any insights?
Mac, OS Tahoe 26.3.1 (a)In the past I have had this problem with Illustrator and Photoshop. Now it sometimes appears with InDesign as well. If I try to drag the active window to another place on my screen, by dragging from the top of the window, it disappears behind all other apps currently open. Oddly, any free floating palettes stay on top. If I can still see a part of the window, I can click on it to bring it back to the front. If not, I have to go to the dock to bring it forward. Nothing is lost so this is an annoyance rather than a real problem, but why does it happen and why is it now happening with ID as well as the others?
Ever since the last updated, drop shadows aren't displaying properly when exporting PNGs from Indesign. There are a couple of threads, but no solutions, It's becoming annoying, as the workaround is to close the app completely and reopen the file. Totally messes the workflow.
I’m working on a file with ~350 pages all linking to individual TIFF files, which is typical for my work and I’ve done this before. I worked on the file last night and it opened just fine. Today I opened the file and right after I chose update links the file crashed and closed InDesign immediately. If I choose not to update links, I get the same outcome. I thought this file might be corrupted so I opened some other much smaller files, some that don’t even have any links, and they all crashed before they were able to open. Same thing happens with IDML files. Even if I choose to create an entirely new document, InDesign loads for a moment and then crashes. There is no error message when it crashes, it just closes, but when I reopen ID it asks if I want to recover the previous files (if I say yes the crash happens again). I’m loading these files locally, not from Adobe cloud. I’m on a deadline and have no clue what to do about this. As far as I’m aware nothing with my PC has changed since
After the most recent update I had to create a document using assets from older indesign files that previously never gave any issues. Now the dropshadows from multiple (different objects) move all over the place (away from the object as if theres a fixed lightsource) when I move these objects. When I turn off the dropshadow of the object, move the object and then turn the shadow back on it will have the shadow in it's correct position. When I move the object around multiple times it will start glitching the entire page until I move my cursor over it again. When I change the path of the object the displaced shadow will snap back into it's correct position, making me think this is a graphical display issue. In the example below you can see how the dropshadows moved. (left one moved up when moving the object down and to the left. Right one stayed closer to it's original position but offset, middle is the original position before copying and moving). i'm working on a
I'm placing 300dpi cmyk jpgs. They look fine when placed.The problem happens when I re-open the file. Nothing has changed, but the images are striping.What's happening?Would a re-install of inDesign fix this issue?
I’m building a doc page by page. When I need to add another page, I find that InDesign will randomly add it to the end of the document or insert it in between the last and next-to-last pages… even though no page is selected in the Pages panel. When InDesign decides to insert rather than append a page, I can almost always Undo and then repeat the operation… and it’ll be appended as expected. But right now, InDesign refuses to append a page to the end of the document.
When I try to overwrite/update an existing document with Publish Online, I eventually get the following error: "An error occurred while uploading the document. Please try again. Error #33". Normally, I first see a progress bar regarding the preparation of the document, followed by a progress bar regarding the uploading of the document. The only thing being shown is the second progress bar: the uploading of the document. This happens faster than normal, after which you receive this error message: "An error occurred while uploading the document. Please try again. Error #33". Can anyone help me with this?
Is there a way how to change default filter in Open file dialog just to INDD files and not All readable? I would like to see only INDD files and not PDF and many others when opening files.
My InDesign document looks normal but when I export to ebook it has introduced random full stops, paragraph breaks and hyphens. How do I get it to look like the InDesign document? There are no hidden characters in there. I've tried a search but it can’t find anything. The author has said that it's been to a few different editors but I’m at a loss as to how to get it to look normal. I’ve tried exporting to pdf from the InDesign and then exporting to word and the word doc looks normal but then the same things appear when putting it back into InDesign and then exporting to ebook. If I export to rtf then you can see the ebook issues. So word and InDesign look normal but rtf and ebook don't. Any suggestions?
