I've looked through a number of fonts, and they all are doing the same thing...How do I fix?DoYouLikeHam_0-1765287653968.png 

Last month during a Sunday morning, with my friend Lukas Engqvist we were chatting and we collaborated on a script to be able to visualize information about a font/size.  So the script automatically generates colored overlays showing em-square, x-height, cap height, ascender, and descender measurements on your selected text, complete with customizable labels in multiple units.The Font Metrics Visualizer is free! 🎁Script UIResults

Hallo Community;kann es sein, wenn ich das Flex Layout nutze, z.B. die erste Vorlage DIN A6 (mit Pflichtext in 6 Punkt) auf DIN A1 bringe, die Schriftgröße im InDesign Fenster falsch dargestellt wird. In meinem A1 Plakat ist die Schrift angeblich 6 Punkt ... kann man das irgendwie ändern? Das stört dann auch bei der Darstellung des Dokumentes. Vielen Dank.

Bonjour!J'ai téléchargé la version d'Indesign 2026 récemment. Depuis que j'ai cette version, j'ai beaucoup de soucis de sauvegarde, surtout avec un document.J'ouvre le logiciel - je sélectionne le document qui a un titre - Indesign ouvre ce document et le renomme illico presto par un numéro (exemple : 610831~1.IND). Je sauvegarde sous avec le bon titre. Je dois le faire ailleurs parce qu'il disparait de mon assemblage. En plus, la plupart du temps je ne peux faire d'assemblage! Finalement, pour envoyer l'assemblage à mon client, je dois faire de la gymnastique, parfois même en recréant un nouveau document et en copiant page par page, en simplifiant le nom de mes images. Est-ce possible que le fait d'utiliser des images créées par l'IA de Freepick puisse corrompre mon document?J'en perds mon latin... Franchement, ça fait 20 ans que je fais ce métier. J'aimerais juste travailler en paix avec la version que vous voulez...

I've tried opening and saving/packaging it on several devices, it simply crashes or says there's a heavy problem. I can save it locally, but trying to open it crashes InDesign.It works fine from the project folder, saves changes, can even write a PDF. I tried it without the images, without the Adobe Fonts in the document, it crashes. It's an 8-page brochure and for my finals.

Goodmorning all,Is there someone who can help me out?I have an typesetted text in indesign. And in the text there is the name of the image between < >. On the position I want to replace the < > image name to inline image. Or maybe even better. The image as objectstyle next to the text.For example <000001> must be replaced by an illustrator image 000001.ai.When importing the .ai file, I only want to show/import the image part, not the whole media page. The image must be place on 100%Thanks in advance

Greetings. This is a best practices question, not a how-to.For scientific works (see inserted sample page below) with multipanel figures with scale bars, is it better to keep the bars in the .tif file, or add them on top of the image as vector lines in ID? The ABCs are added already as transparent little text boxes from library for consistency and sharper output.- Reasons for keeping them in .tif: Everything is bundled together, no possibllity of elements shifting (I know about grouping, use it for the ABCs and image). - Reasons against .tif: layered master figures of variable pixel dimension/resolution (could be standardized, but PITA), so line sizes are tricky to standardize.Reasons for vector elements in ID: standard line sizes easier to maintain. Vector graphics sharper than pixel lines in .tif file; effect most likely limited given that they are only horizontal and vertical lines.Reasons against vector elements in ID: More work (only about 300 figures to re-do), possible scre

I'm making a product catalog with modling profiles, and the profile shapes have thin gray strokes for measuring. The end of the strokes are all different, some shorter, some longer. My goal is to make them all the same so they are extened 0.25 inches from the shape. You'll see what I mean if you look at the attachment that shows a before and after comparison. What I've been doing is dragging the end point of each stroke to a guide. This is very time-consuming since there  are hundreds of these shapes that have these lines. Is there a way in InDesign (or Illustrator), or using AI somehow where I can get these lines to be 0.25 inches away from the shape instead of doing it manully by dragging each point of each line? Thank you,Chris, Graphic Designer

I'm working on a document to publish online (as a link). I'm trying to incorporate an image of a record player. The plan is that, when clicked, the image of the record player switches to a GIF with a spinning record. At the same time, it'll trigger the sound file I have on the page to play. Then, when the user clicks the GIF, the music pauses, and the GIF switches back to the record player PNG.So far, I've tried this method:1. Turn the record player PNG and GIF into buttons (PNG plays music, GIF pauses music).2. Align the elements and turn them into a multi-state object.This is where I'm stuck, as when I turn them into an MSO, they lose their interactivity. I can't turn the states into buttons or edit any button actions. Is there a way to achieve the effect I'm going for?

You just need to create a paragraph style and a list! Start with a custom paragraph style. Under "Bullets and Numbering" create a new list. Make sure "Continue Numbers across Stories" and "Continue Numbers from Previous Document in Book" are both selected. bsalisbu13_0-1764951354984.png Here are the settings I use for the numbering style but if you just want the number by itself you just need "^1": bsalisbu13_1-1764951433917.png Now on your Parent page you just insert a text box and set the paragraph style! For my use, I want the final to say "Page Count 1/42" where the 1 is the incrementing number and the 42 is whichever page limit I have for that document. So on each page that counts towards my custom page limit, I CTRL+SHIFT click on the text box to edit the Parent object and type in 42 (or whatever my page limit is) and the 1 updates automatically. Here's what it looks like in the text box: bsalisbu13_2-1764951863082.png If you only want the incrementing number, I believe you need

Hi there, I have received an InDesign document.  The document has some GREP STYLES set that instruct InDesign to Bold all instances of the word SHALL and all instances of SHALL NOT. Those GREP STYLES are present in most of the paragraph styles, and there are a lot. They look like that: Apply style: Universal Bold; To Text: \ssall\s. The document was translated into German, and I must instruct InDesign to Bold all instances of MUSS and MUSSEN. I opened PARAGRAPH - GREP STYLES, and I changed shall with muss and mussen. It didn't work. So, I selected the text and went to Paragraph Style. I opened the style used for that paragraph, and I opened the GREP style Tab, and I noticed that the definition was still in English. I changed "shall" with "muss" and it worked. However, as I mentioned, there are a lot of paragraph styles that use these GREP Styles. It is time-consuming to open each style and change "shall" with "muss". Is there a way to do that automati

I have a script that no longer works with the update and I have no clue on how to fix it.The script is supposed to open the first file in the book print (located in the C:\ folder mentioned), update the links, save and close the file and then open the next file in the book and repeat until all files are linked and saved. I would appreciate any help someone can give. //Set the user interaction level to NEVERapp.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT; //Perform open of a sample bookvar myBook = app.open("C:\\forms\\0210.files\\zprint.indb", false),    i, docPath, doc, j;  for (i = 0;i<myBook.bookContents.length;i++){    docPath = myBook.bookContents[i].fullName;    doc = app.open(File(docPath), false);    for (j = 0; j < doc.links.length; j++) {        doc.links.item(j).relink(File(doc.links.item(j).filePath));  &nb

Hallo, ich soll einen Werbeflyer gestalten und sitze seit Wochen an der Datensatzzusammenführung. Leider werden bei mir trotz TXT-Datei in UTF-8 Zeichensatz keine €-Zeichen angezeit. Er erkennt das Zeichen perdu nicht. Zudem kann ich auch bei neu erstellter Datei (ohne Copy-Paste) keine verschiedenen Daten auf einer Seite platzieren, da das Feld "Einzelner Datensatz" in dem Fenster "Datensatz zusammenführen" einfach nicht anwählbar sein möchte.. Mit der Vorschau werden immerhin die Daten sowie die Bilder angezeigt.  Ich hoffe, dass mir jemand helfen kann.. Ich würde mich sehr über jede Hilfe freuen! 

It would be great the possibility to select different words in the same text (I mean in different places), just to change them with a single action!

Was just upgraded recently to InDesign 2026. How do I get rid of the new start page?Because of this page I cannot make changes as you could previously by setting preferences before you open a new file. Also it does not even show letter paper as an option. I want to get rid of this annoying feature.

Hi, I wrote a function that deletes empty table rows, but for some reason it works very slowly. When 180 rows have to be deleted, it takes 21 seconds to do so. Considering I have two such tables and many data merged documents, it rather adds up. I was wondering if someone knows why it is this slow. We thought that perhaps we could make it faster by deleting a range of rows at once rather than deleting rows one by one, but I don't know how to delete multiple rows at once. Here is the code: function delRows(doc){ // If the tables' rows' contents are 0 in length (i.e. empty), delete the rows var myRowsApp1 = doc.textFrames.itemByName("Appendix1").tables[0].rows.everyItem().getElements(); for(var i = myRowsApp1.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { var rowContent = myRowsApp1[i].contents; rowContent.shift(); if(rowContent.toString().replace(/,/g,"").replace(/\uFEFF/g,"").length != 0){ myRowsApp1[i].

bonjour j'utilise Indesing sous Windows. j'ai essayé plusieurs combinasion de réglage écran, mais j'obtiens un rendu à l'écran de très mauvaise qualité. j'ai essayé sur des écrans différents et l'affichage reste de très mauvaise qualité. La seule solution est d'utiliser 'affichage standart" au lieu de "affichage de qualité supérieure" (qui fonctionnait très bien il y a encore qq semaines). Je rencontre le problème quelque soit le poids du fichier Indesign. J'ajoute une copie d'écran pour illustrer ce soucis.Je travaille sous DELL Intel COREi7

Ich möchte nicht die festgelegte Minion, wie im Bild, als Ersatzschrift, sondern Messina. Wo kann ich das in den Einstellungen einmalig festlegen? Danke euch. 

Hello,  I am working on some accessible PDFs, and have already implemented Paragraph styles and a Reading order. However, when I export the PDF to Acrobat and test out the Screen Reader I find that it reads the document much to quickly, and in most instances cause it all too run on together.  I've tried searching with no luck. Can anyone tell me how to add a delay between my components (H1, H2, P, etc), so that the screen reader reads the document at a normal pace, and doesn't cause it all to run on together and become incoherent?  Thanks! 

When I went to an ADOBE bootcamp a decade ago the instructor said Illistrator tends to worked better then photoshop when dealing with graphics inside inDesign, so I primarly do everthing in illistrator. I just recently started to save things to the cloud and now I find I am running into an issue. Why when I use a InDesign file saved to the cloud and I try to import graphics also on the cloud it doesn't see any of my illustrator files at all.? It sees only InDesign, Photoshop, and Firefly files, it dosn't matter if it is in the project folder or just in my files. I only have this issue when it is a adobe cloud saved file. I have 32 files but it sees none, I then have to save to my computer to import them into my indesign file into a library.

HiI lost my Find/Change shortcut and option in indesign.I can not Find and Change text very annoying.Anybody knows what is going on? Thank you Bas

I’m having trouble getting OpenType font features to appear in Adobe InDesign. Even though I'm using an OpenType font, options like stylistic sets, ligatures, and alternate characters seem to be missing or grayed out in the Character panel. I’ve checked my text settings, but nothing seems to fix it. Is there something else I need to enable, or could this be a font-specific issue?   

I have a very large book and it has a lot of styles in it. They are labelled and grouped and organised as much as possible but it's something I'm working on over a very long period and sometimes the client takes a 6 month break and when I come back it's a bit much to remember where everything is. A search bar in the panel would be SO useful. I have the most used ones already set up with shortcuts but the less used ones, a search bar to find them in the list and click to apply would be so helpful, as opposed to having to open and close all the groups and scroll up and down the list looking. I can't be the only person that would find this useful?

I spent hours working on an InDesign file. Everything was smooth, the project was completed, and the PDF exported without issues. The client requested a small text change, so I reopened the file. InDesign froze, crashed, and the file was corrupted beyond recovery.I restarted InDesign and opened a backup. Same story: the app got stuck again (this time with an annoying “projects” popup), froze, and after a forced close, that backup file was destroyed as well.I have now lost five hours of work.This is the typical Adobe upgrade experience when the new yearly versions roll out on Windows. Half baked, unstable, and dangerous. And now my files are gone. Dev team, please take note.Everyone else, please no suggestions about resetting preferences. We go through this every year. I’m downgrading to the previous version and waiting until Adobe ships something that doesn’t destroy user data.
