InDesign

I cannot install Indesign Adobe in my new laptob "Microsoft Surface 11".

Hi All, I'm have a frustrating issue that has been vexing me for some time. It's seemingly cropping up at random. I can't predict when it's going to happen, but when it does there seems to be nothing I can do to solve it. I'm hoping someone has encountered this an know a way to solve this. Sometimes when I'm making epubs the paragraph spacing will just be ignored in the exported ePub file. I've just created two ebooks back-to-back. One where the spacing is there and working and one where the spacing isn't. The spacing between the paragraphs of the body copy is working in both but just not the headings or images.  I used the same process for both. My process is:From the final print file, I go through and convert all complex fonts (i.e. the title page fonts) to graphics (create outlines) to avoid the fonts getting rejected. I also check any images are a compatible file type and are added in the text flow with the correct epub settings so they sit right in the file. They also have their o

Hi, I've replaced the chapter headings with pdfs of the font in order to retain the font for the ebook but is there a way I can create a toc if there is no type? I tried making the chapter headings invisible but when it converts to epub it shows again. Thanks.

how can i create a stroke only on top and bottom in indesign?

how can i get text at the TOP part of an anchored objectsee below it only wants to be at the BOTTOM 

Hi everyone,I’m working in Adobe InDesign on a print café drink menu with many items, categories, and prices. The main challenge is keeping the layout consistent when the menu changes frequently, such as new drinks, seasonal items, or price updates.Right now, even small edits can cause text reflow issues, misaligned prices, or spacing inconsistencies across columns and sections.From an InDesign workflow perspective:What’s the best way to structure long menus so updates don’t break the layout?Are paragraph styles, nested styles, or anchored objects the right approach for this kind of document?I’m looking for a stable, production-friendly method suitable for real-world café menus.Thanks in advance.

Hi!I have just finished designing a book with pages in spreads. However i have encountered a problem. Many objects extend over the whole spread which would be fine for a normal print, but i need to perform a very specific binding and therefore shuffle the pages so they can join correctly again after the book is bound. If i want to move a page in the spread, the objects that extend over left side of the spread to the right and vice versa, do not divide in half and stick to the half of the spread they are meant to be on. Is there any way to quickly split all of the extending objects in half along the spine and move the pages freely?

Hello I am Niven, I was hoping to get some help regarding a script which malfunctions in my situation. I use InDesign Mail Merge on a regular basis for my work with like 600 to 800+ Pages per Document which has multiple languages and emojis and the script I got from Peter Kahrel to Manage Multiple Missing Glyphs at one time is not working as it probably worked for other people on some YouTube Tutorials. As I run the script and select a replacement font (Noto Emoji Regular) for the Missing Glyphs the script runs at first but after 2 - 3 Minutes InDesign stops responding. No error message is shown. Manually replacing the missing glyphs with ‘Noto Color Emoji’ works correctly, which suggests the issue may be related to the script or my PC. Also I would like to add that the people using the script flawlessly were using it on a macOS and I am on a Windows PC.I use Adobe InDesign 2025 version with all updates installed. I came to know about the script from Adobe Community

I have some publications that are very nicely formatted in InDesign to produce great PDF ebooks. However, I'd like to also use the same .indd files to produce some very basic HTML versions, with no fancy fonts or formatting: something suitable for viewing on a cellphone, for example: responsive and with the graphics thumbnailed. After playing around with this just a bit, by using the Export > HTML5 and Export > HTML (legacy) I'm thinking:a) I probably need to export not as HTML5 but as "legacy"b) I probably need to create a CSS file that assigns the many paragraph styles in the InDesign document to some basic HTML formatting.c) I would like professional advice from someone who has tried this before so that I may learn from the mistakes of others rather than repeating them myself.Any advice?

Hi Abhishek, thanks for asking for a screenshot of all the problems we found only from December.The following one is related to my previous post: "If I open an INDD document, I find the palettes in the positions where I stored them in my Workspace. However, if I open a Book, more than half of the palettes are missing! Even when I try to reload the positions stored in my Workspace."In the screenshot, I put the two situations: The full palette stored in my workspace, and one of the random situations when some (almost all) of the palettes disappear.   <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi,   I recently had to upgrade my Indesign to v21.   There seems to be a problem with workspaces. When I open or create a new document or maximise Indesign from a minimised state, randomly the palettes I have docked to the right of the screen do not open when I click the named tile/docked palette. They acknowledge my click but dont expand.    My colleague upgraded a while ago and I remember him getting stressed about this exact same issue so I dont know if this is version specific or Windows 11 specific but it is a problem. The work around seems to be having mulitple saved workspaces and when this occurs, switch to another one.   If you have experienced this, on Windows 11, please let know if you found a solution. Thanks.     <Title renamed by MOD>

I cant open a new document, and home page looks organised like a code script.Also its says my GPU is not detected I have a GTX1650 

I need to install an older version of InDesign, maybe from 2023 or 2024. Isn’t that possible? My computer, Mac Pro 5.1 from 2012, is too old for the current version. I try to copy an folder with InDesign from a external drive, but that doesn’t work either. Besides, this system with renting the apps for a lot of money per month isn’t good. Much better before when you bought them on DVD, registered your name and got a product key. Why does everything need to be online? Some illness of present time.

Hello all, I'm trying to use GREP styles to accomplish a few things. I'd like to (1) style the Project Name, and (2) add a tab before Service ID and Start/End. Any idea of how to do that? I'm proid to say that I have figured out how to style the bolded characters.  

Hi, Dear Friends!I used to know how to handle this, but my medication has zappppped my memory....:( I re-use texts across multiple ID docs. But as I work, i edit the text in a given ID doc and want the source story updated. I saw a while ago the best way to handle this is by having the source doc in an InCopy file. I then place it on a child doc. I check out id editing is required. If i add any important edits to the story, i can update the source by "checking in" to Incopy. The above can be repeated across many ID docs, and when I place the story again, it will reflect all the edits I have made until then. Is this the complete way to do this? Thank you, and have a good day!Susan Flamingo

Seit ich den neuen iMac24 M4 und den neuen Drucker OKI C 650 besitze, kann ich keine InDesign-Dokumente in guter Qualität drucken.Schriften und Farbflächen werden zu schwach und mit unscharfen Kanten dargestellt. Farbflächen mit 100% werden nur in 50 % dargestellt.Seltsam ist, dass die gleichen Features in Photoshop korrekt ausgegeben werden.Niemand kann mir seit Wochen helfen, ADOBE nicht, APPLE nicht und OKI schon gar nicht !!!

Hello, I would like to know if there is a quick way to reduce the size of a page's content, using either InDesign or Acrobat. It is an Indesign book of over 1,000 pages (composed of several documents).Each page consists of a frame and a block of text. Here is an example: on the left is what I currently have, and on the right is what I want:Thank you in advance for your help.

Um die Vereinszeitschrift zu versenden, müssen die Adressaten an speziellen Orten ausgegeben werden - mit ID Seriendruck wunderbar machbar - mit WORD eine Qual und nur in DIN-Formaten.Das Verwaltungsprogramm gibt die Daten standardmäßig im txt/csv+"-Format "xxx<CR>xxx<CR>";"yyy";"zzz";<CR> aus. Die erste Spalte können 2-6Zeilen sein. weiter hinten ist eine Spalte muit immer 13Zeilen - die einem spezielen Font zugewiesen sind, der das Zeichen " nicht kennt.InDesign kann nur eine Zeile lesen - aber wenn ich nur dieses spezielle Feld aufrufe funktionierts - wenn andere Felder dabei sind nicht.Mit Trennzeichen und " kann ich viel einstellen - damit geht Word vielleicht nicht mehr, aber anderes. Blos wie?Könnte man den Seriendruckblock aus einem andern System (z.b. .pdf) - ein Dolument, 1000 Adressblöcke auf 1000 Seiten importieren?Ich habe zwar eine Lösung - aber DHL macht exakte Positionierungsvorschriften, prüft und zertifiziert dies mit KI. Da bin ich noch nicht durch.

In der Regel kopiert man bei einem Hex-Farbcode das #-Zeichen mit. Auch bei Adobe Color wird der komplette Hex-Code inklusive # kopiert. Leider muss man in Programmen wie z. B. InDesign den Farbcode aber ohne # eingeben. Das ist oft supernervig! Warum kann man das Eingabefeld nicht so erweitern, dass es ein Zeichen mehr erlaubt und das „#“ einfach ignoriert?    Normally, when you copy a hex color code, you also copy the “#” symbol. Adobe Color also copies the full hex code including “#”. Unfortunately, in programs like InDesign you have to enter the color code without “#”. That’s often super annoying! Why can’t the input field be extended to allow one more character and simply ignore the “#”?

My footnotes are putting the footnotes' reference numbers at the end of the footnote line instead of at the beginning. For example,instead of: 1   First footnote. It is doing:First footnote. 1 How do I fix this? I've played everywhich way with the composer settings, I even downloaded and tried fixing it using the Hebrew/ME version of INDD...adjusting the right to left and left to right. Also looked at styles, footnotes options, even found a js that forced the doc to the proper composer. Nothing is fixing this annoying issue... so far.The reference number in the body text is good as is the reference in the footnote, but I can't help but thinking that I am missing something obvious.  Latest INDD version on a Windows 11 machineIdeas are appreciated. Meanwhile, will start a new doc to see if mine is simply corrupted. Should have probably tried that an hour ago. lolThanks,Rob

Indesign 2025 (21.1)Mac OS 13.7.8 I'm posting on behalf of a contact, so I can't share the source file. Problem:My contact has had issues where one of his credit lines on any given spread (the text that runs up parallel to the gutter in the screenshot) disappears when he overrides the item to update the text and later shuffles the pages to reorder his articles. There should be two on either side of the gutter. The credits remain on the parent pages, and the text still appears when he exports to PDF. Reapplying the parents to the pages in question doesn't resolve the issue. The information is still there, but how to prevent it is a mystery to me. I've figured out how to reset the credit after the fact (Pages Panel > Parent Pages > Remove All Local Overrides). My two main questions are what is happening here, and is there a way to adjust the InDesign file to prevent it?  Thank you!

Hi! I wasnt really sure how to word or ask this question, so any attempts to google it proved unfruitful. I am trying to make a label layout, so I want to make a bunch of image frames that will change whenever I change like, the first original image frame? Like when I put a new design in the first box, all the other images change as well. Would this be with tiling somehow? Or does my wording make sense? I can provide some screenshots if that would help. Much appreciated if anyone could tell me how to do this!

Hello,I want to make a photobook and the supplier offers an Indesign template which customers can use for creating the cover and the innerwork. https://www.fotofabriek.nl/pdf-upload/view-specification/243f5ab3-f5c1-48cf-aee5-7ef1d2f1365e/I have downloaded the template for the innerwork and it's going to be an A4 book (landscape), so the size is 210x297 for a page, making it 216x303 for a single page, and 216x600 for a spread of 2 pages (not 606 because you only have 2 bleeds in stead of 4, if I'm correct).So in Photoshop I have created my first test-spread (2 pages) and I have set the image-size to 216x600 (300 dpi) and filled it for test purposes with pink.But when I place that image into the template it shows the image way too large for the template (see image). Why is that? 

Upon writing an interactive pdf from indesign will 21.1 under macOS 26.2 (25C56), that pdf will open in acrobat but not in preview. Preview informs me that “Apple could not verify “pdf Title” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy. Any idea why, and what to do about it?  Thanks!

I was making a 60 page book with 39 fonts and many of the graphics with feathered edges. What I've ried so far is to start a new book in 3 or segments. But now even opening InDesign for the START of the book, after doing well for much longer (half a day with hardly anything accomplished because I was listening to tutorials while the program sat open) It is frozen. I thought with the new book I'd fist go find some Adobe Fonts so that I'd be SURE there was no "missing font" messages.  I went looking for templates to choose from to possibly make my life easier, but so far haven't found them.I've watched many tutorials over these months to get answers on hw to do things, and am puzzled because everyone has a different way to do the same thing. I'm sure I do much better work with a limited pallet.
