InDesign

I was trying to change my document size to a smaller page size and it had no effect even with preview button checked on. No matter what preset size I selected or custom size I created had no effect.I saved the document and recreated a new document from scratch and then it worked.  Not sure if this is a software glitch known to anyone using the latest InDesign. P.S. never seen this glitch before.??

I am getting this notification whenever I drag and drop image into InDesign. This has started coming up ever since I updated to version 21.3. It is very annoying. When I close it and drag and drop another image, it comes again. I have turned off this feature but this popup appears the moment I bring any image in any document. What should I do to permanently disable it? 

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 want the image to fit within the page margins, with any excess areas cropped from the top and right sides.When the image is on the left page, there’s no problem.When the image is on the right page, after running the script, only the frame fits the page layout, but the image itself disappears.I’ve been trying to figure this out for a while and suspect it might be because the image extends too far to the right.Am I using FitOptions incorrectly?Or is there something wrong with the move command?Thanks.var doc = app.activeDocument;var item = doc.selection[0]; var items = doc.selection; var s = item;s.geometricBounds = [40, 30, 247, 190];s.fit(FitOptions.PROPORTIONALLY);s.fit(FitOptions.FILL_PROPORTIONALLY);alert('This part is still correct.');var img = s.images[0];var mcy = s.geometricBounds[2] - img.geometricBounds[2]var mcx = s.geometricBounds[3] - img.geometricBounds[3]img.move([0, 0], [-mcx, +mcy]); 

I’m having a major issue with moving and modifying any textboxes created and any images once placed. Additionally, if I open a new tools icon, I cannot move the icon or drag it to the toolbar. I have spent hours trying to reinstall previous versions, modify settings in InDesign, and modify settings on my Surface Book 2 laptop with no luck and it’s wasting valuable time. I’m in desperate need for some kind of guidance or help on possible solutions to fix this issue. Please help! 

I have added a new Mac device to my CC plan. None of the Adobe fonts are sycing (I’ve tried toggling fonts on and off in the CC app) and all my Indesign files look like the attached (grayed out) Ive done right-click and open with and it is still not recognizing the file type. Any suggestions? 

the original text field is fine, but the copied version always blends out due to being overset. is there a fix/bug or something i need to consider copying text fields?i’m using indesign for 8 years now, primarily on typgraphic products so normally i’m a confident user.

I ran into a problem yesterday with placed images in my document not showing up properly when I exported the file to PDF. It was only some of the pictures, not all of them. At first I thought that there was something wrong with the original image files, so I re-saved them and even went so far as to delete the placed images and place them again. I reset the preferences. Nothing worked.Until now. I’m posting this in case anyone else runs into this problem. It turns out that the fill color of the rectangle behind the placed images had been accidentally set to spot color. Deleting that swatch and replacing it with a regular color swatch fixed everything. Hope this helps. 

Just clean installed on a new Mac. I used to be able to use my Microsoft bluetooth numpad keyboard to bind shortcuts to paragraph/character styles, but InDesign doesn't want that anymore. The field will stay blank, but the shortcut still works… 

Need help in Finding the syntax for separation preview….. In the InDesign We are automating the flow through extendtool kit using Javascript where we are facing the problem finding the Proper Syntax for accessing the Separation previews in the Windows panel …. InDesing App » windows » separation previews.. also the shortcut for that is “Shift+F6”. Kindly provide me the Syntax.

Hello everyone. I have an InDesign document with a rectangular frame that is populated from an "@image" field in a CSV file data merge. The images all have slightly different aspect ratios.After selecting "Fill frame proportionally" in the frame fitting options, the image fills the frame correctly, without leaving whitespace in the rectangle. But then when navigating between records in the data merge, this setting is reset and the scale of the image changes back to default. How can I apply this setting so that it stays for all records in the data merge? Thank you for your help!

See above description. This only happens when I want to set up a new book. A document opens with the present window, as it should. Anyone have any ideas, before I uninstall and reinstall it? Thanks!

My InDesign files are book covers for publishing and when I send the publisher the X-1a high resolution PDF, they flatten the PDF in photoshop and frequently there ends up being a very faint rule, like a box, around some of the type. There is no box actually there in the InDesign file, and it’s not even where the edge of the text box is -- what is causing this and how do I get rid of it?

Ich habe meine InDesign 2024 ausversehen gelöscht und kann jetzt in der Cloud nur noch bis Version 20.0 installieren. Wo finde ich ältere Versionen? Ich benötige die 2024er Version.Vielen Dank vorab. 

Suddenly, my InDesign is giving me 110 Pre-Flight errors, all saying that my Segoe UI font is missing.  It appears in the document OK but how do I get rid of the error messages and assuage the software?  Do I somehow reinstall the font? 

The same problem that began to occur with Illustrator and Photoshop several years back is now occuring in InDesign (main palette window moves behind other active windows when you attempt to move the window).  Not interested in work arounds and desktop viewing segmentations etc.  I want to work the old standard way. Adobe and Apple please resolve this issue!!!

I am running Creative Suite 2026 on a new Mac Book and am having problems with InDesign features being grayed out. Like the undo and redo functions are greyed out, as is paste in place. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also the ‘group’ and ‘ungroup’ features are greyed out. I can’t figure out how to do a screen grab of a drop down menu.Thank you. Alison Kennedy

Before the 18th, my InDesign program was working fine. My subscription is fine, computer didn't have an update, no one else uses my computer, but on the 18th, it suddenly popped up with these errors: "Cannot load the PATH TYPE.RPLN plug-in. It is dependent on the GENERIC PAGE ITEM.RPLN plug-in, which failed to load. Please check documentation for the GENERIC PAGE ITEM.RPLN plug-in." "Cannot load the PATH TYPE UI.RPLN plug-in. It is dependent on the GENERIC PAGE ITEM.RPLN plug-in, which failed to load. Please check documentation for the GENERIC PAGE ITEM.RPLN plug-in." I tried uninstalling & reinstalling, I tried checking if my pc needed an update and updated that. I tried searching for the same results to see if others had the same issue, but I could not find anything. Please, if anyone has any answers, I would love to try it! I've got several projects that I need to start/finish. 😞   {Renamed by MOD}

Normally I can make a rectangle, round the corners then select a corner anchor to move and change the shape while keeping the integrity and editablilty of rounded corners. I haven't changed anything, but all of the sudden clicking on any corner anchor causes the shape to automatically expand, meaning each corner now has 2 rounded anchors. It's as if I'm clicking the Expand button, but I'm not. Any ideas what's happening here?

I'm running InDesign 2022 17.01 on a Macbook Pro 2019 OS Monterey V 12.1.  I use indesign on this computer every single day with no issues, but today, I am unable to save my projects or use undo/redo. I restarted indesign earlier to address the undo/redo problem and it worked for a while, but eventually was disabled again. At the time, I was able to save my files so I felt comfortable restarting the program. But now, both save and undo/redo are disabled. I was however able to succesfully export, which requires saving. Very strange.  other things that may or may not be related:- Text boxes in one of my projects are creating duplicate edges and I have to double click them for the text to readjust inside the new parameters. Usually the text adjusts while I drag the box. This is only happening on one of my projects open, while the other is normal. - Zooming with my fingers on my trackpad is randomly disabling and I have to relaunch the program to fix it. Zoom on tr

When I go to update a review link in InDesign, I keep getting this error message "there was an error updating the artifact". After that, the link does not work for most people. I am signed in to Adobe. Everything is up-to-date.... But this issue still persists. Can Adobe please fix this issue? It's emarassing when I go to send the review link to my leaders and they just get an error message when they try opening it.   <Title renamed by moderator>
