Hello,i need the InDesign Version 19.5, as a client has a content management system that's only compatible with InDesign version 19.5. What can i do?Many thanks and greetingsmichael

I've been using Command + drag to resize files placed on my InDesign pages for years, and suddenly, for no reason, I can no longer do that. Holding Command and dragging the mouse only resizes the frame, not the content inside the frame with it. I'm now having to go back to clicking between the Selection tool and Direct Selection tool to resize things accordingly. Why did this feature suddenly stop working? I've restarted InDesign twice, tried holding Command+Option+Shift+Control when relaunching it, and tried to change settings but nothing has worked. I haven't changed anything. No updates to the computer or the program, so there's no reason this should just suddenly stop being functional.

I'm having a new problem with the latest version of InDesign 21.0.2 x64.When I scroll with the mouse wheel, sometimes the page becomes unreadable, with a "comet effect" that prevents the page from being displayed correctly.Attached are two screenshots of the "normal" and "comet effect" pages.

I have an InDesign file that the pages are messed up on pages 50-142. The Headers and Subheaders aren't in order and I've tried several ways to fix it, but can't figure it out. The text thread jumps from page 49 to page 87 and I need the pages to be continous with the header and subheader numberings. 

Hi,In my code, I use AttributeBossList::IntersectionContainsDifferences() to locate runs of text of a particular set of attributes. But this function sometimes "fails" when looking for specific font sizes, such as 14.2pt or 18.53pt, for example. I am assuming that, internally, it is looking for an exact match in fixed units, and the conversion used by the SDK seems to differ ever so slightly, depending if one's UI is in points or millimeters, for example.Short of re-writing my own version of AttributeBossList::IntersectionContainsDifferences(), to be able to handle borderline cases, does anyone have any suggestion as to how to loosen the matching criteria used by the SDK ?Or should I use AttributeBossList::ConvertAttributeList() on both sets of attributes, and then do the comparison myself ?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Very best regards,Olivier

As stated in the title, placing a black rectangle set at 80% opacity over a section of an image brightens the entire image. The black translucent rectangle is being used to make text on the image more legible without completely blocking out the image in that area.  The issue is still there if I move the translucent shape onto another layer, the only way I've found to make the image return to normal is to delete the translucent shape. Nothing is grouped, the image opacity is still set to 100, and I'm working in Europe General Purpose 3 for the colour settings, and it stays when the document is exported to a PDF.If any other details are helpful to diagnose this issue, please let me know.  Is this a known bug or is it affecting the properties of the page somehow? 

Since version 2026 of Indesign, it exports multiple files simultaneously to pdf. I want have to export the same file as a high-res and a low-res.And i don't want it to do it simultaneously, because sometimes images dissapear during export. Is there a way to turn it off? 

Hi everyone,I’ve been working with Adobe Creative Cloud for over 10 years, and I’ve noticed a persistent input lag and UI delay on Windows affecting InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and After Effects.Even on high-end PCs, i'm on laptop proart p16 (2025) and strong desktop. Typing letter by letter, clicking text boxes, or interacting with objects shows a noticeable delay. On Mac, the same workflows are instant, proving this is a Windows. I hope Adobe can acknowledge this and prioritize a fix.Thanks.

I created a document in InDesign, shared it for text editing with InCopy on the web (beta). It has been edited as INDDL. How do I save the edited file back to my computer as INDD?

I installed InDesign 2026. I customize the workspace layout the way I want, but when I close the file and reopen it, everything resets to default. I have to rearrange the workspace every time. I didn’t have this issue in InDesign 2025 — it started after installing 2026.

I am trying to edit my book, and every time I click in the text box, the paragraph or whole page disappears. The content is still there. It just isn't viewable. If I zoom in or out, it reappears. Similarly, when I scroll through the pages, the text display gets jagged within lines or offset in the middle of the paragraph. Again, if I zoom in or out, the display corrects itself. I am having to zoom in/out for every correction. This is very irritating and is severely hampering productivity. The following list of issues do not apply in my case:I do not have overset text.I do not have formatting conflicts caused by "Break text" or "Keep" options.The text does not wrap any objects.I am using Cambria font, which I have used for my last four books and never had a problem with. There are no hidden characters on master pages.I have broken the book into chapters, with each chapter being a separate document. The chapters are less than twenty pages each, so I am not dealing with documents of

Hi everyone,I am using Adobe InDesign to create design materials such as brochures, ebooks, and PDF files for marketing. I would like to understand how other users use InDesign files with CRM platforms.My usual process is to design in InDesign and export the files as PDFs. These PDFs are then uploaded into a CRM system and used in landing pages or email campaigns. This helps maintain good design quality while still using marketing automation.I would appreciate any advice from the community. For example, are there recommended PDF export settings for online use? How do you organize InDesign files for easy updates? Any workflow tips for designers and marketers working together would be helpful.Thank you for your time.

Hi:My work group has had this problem periodically for over 15 years, I still do not have a good solution to it. Our designers create an Indesign layout, and assign the various stories as an Incopy assignment. The editors edit the .icml files to fit the pages. When the designers open up the Indesign layout and update the content of the icml files, they do not wrap/hyphenate properly the way the editors have them in Incopy. The text can have different line breaks in the paragraph, causing the icml files to be either short or long as to where they should end on the page. This is not an update problem of the Incopy assignment or individual icml files. I have noticed one thing: sometimes when there is an illustration with an irregular text wrap around it, the text wrap is different in Indesign than it is in Incopy. But that is not always the issue, sometimes it happens when there is a regular horizontal or square wrap, and sometimes where there is no text wrap at all.&n

I can not open my InDesign files all of a sudden. When I go to open them, InDesign completely shuts down. I've tried all of the chatbot's suggestions to no avail. Any ideas? 

Its really frustrating that one of the core feature of Indesign review link is not working . When ever I update the existing link it throws up failing error of artificate. It doesn't makes sense to suffer with such issue when we pay a premium to adobe. Dear adobe team please fix this as I have to mert deadlines.

Indesign Table of Content is not showing Section Text I put on Parent page to show on every page. Since it's not showing up on Table of Content, I have to place the Section Text on every sheet which is doubling my work.Is there a way to fix this issue?

I am considering writing a non fiction book. It's to be about cultural history and in A5. I would like to take a shortcut to the layout  part and have been looking for good InDesign templates for non fiction/text book, but have had very little luck. I have tried Adobe Stock and a couple of other sites but so far not really found anything. Does anybody have some recommendations?

Welche Einstellungen muss ich beim Farbmanagement vornehmen, wenn ich ein InDesign-Dokument auf einem Epson XP 7100 auf Normalpapier bzw. auf Epson Premium Glossy farbgetreu ausdrucken will?

I’m having a critical issue with an InDesign Cloud Document that is completely stuck.What happens:- Opening the cloud document crashes InDesign immediately.- Downloading the file from the web stays at 0% indefinitely.- Duplicating the file works, but the duplicate also cannot be downloaded.- “Open in Desktop” always causes InDesign to crash.What I already tried (successfully and cleanly):- Fully reset CoreSync and Creative Cloud user cache.- Cleared all Adobe caches and InDesign preferences.- Verified Adobe Desktop Service (ADS) is installed and running correctly.- InDesign opens normally when offline, without crashing.- System was restored back to its original state afterward (no broken services).Result:- The issue persists across browser download, duplicate, and desktop open.- This strongly indicates a server-side cloud document lock or corrupted cloud state.I am now blocked as an end user.What I need:- A server-side reset of the cloud lock for this documentOR- A server-side export o
