InDesign

Hi,I'm able to create the hyperlink to open external pdf file. But is there any chance to open this external pdf file on the specific page or location? I tried to assign the page via "Hyperlink Destination Options" but it doesn't work.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm a complete newbie in InDesign. I have a 144 page document with text and images which I need to translate from Spanish to Dutch about music instruments. I'm used to machine translating, then correcting it. In this case, I would prefer to machine translate it within the InDesign document as it would be very inefficient to extract all text boxes one for one, translate it in deepL, then place in the correct boxes again. I tried figuring this out via ChatGPT with no luck. It seems there might have been a machine translation feature which changed/ was removed with this newest version of InDesign? I work on IOS and am happy to purchase a plugin of some sort as long as it's not too expensive (up until 20euros it's fine) if it works. Any help is welcome. Thanks,Sofia

Hi All, I'm not satisfied by the zoom defined by InDesign and would like an "entire page" zoom when I jump on the target page after having clicked on the cross-ref. link! Something I missed?! Thanks in advance. 😉 (^/)  The Jedi

I have a book in English that all paragraph and charachter styles are already set, now I need to make a copy of english styles and change all at once to Spanish, is there any easy way in Indesign to change all at once without clicking on each paragraph style and change to spanish one by one?Remmeber I don't make style from scratch, only changing previous styles. I use Indesign CS6Has Adobe any script for that?

Both Illustrator and InDesign crash when I open them. This only happens on my desktop. They work fine on my laptop. A blue circle flashes continuously next to the cursor, and when I go to “File” in the top left corner of the toolbar, for example, nothing happens; I can't open that menu. Photoshop works fine. I've already updated Illustrator and InDesign, uninstalled and reinstalled the programs, but that doesn't help. Has anyone else experienced this?

This is a problem that existed in Indesign in the last years and I don't know how to overcome. I have a 150 page price list. Every product has an image and there are 2x7 cells on a page, totalling 740 cells. I have 21 layers, each layer representing different currencies and different languages.When exporting I turn on-off some layers to generate the correct PDF's. After the first export is finished, Indesign hangs (not responding) for a half minute. After consecutive exports are finished, the hang time is gradually increased, reaching several minutes. Therefore an export session is a painfully slow and annoying task.I am experiencing the same with all big documents (I am making product catalogues of 150+ pages).I think, Indesign has serious memory leaks and bugs related to export PDF. These "reset settings" and "save to idml" things aren't working. Should I send my indd files to Adobe to reproduce the trouble for the developers? If I foresee correctly, next year, when we will

Hi. Im translating several magazines from danish to english. I of course re-use all the layout, som when I paste the english text into the "old" danish textboxes, InDesign will of course still treat each textbox as if it was danish. So I must change each textbox into the correct language. Otherwise I will get problems with hyphenation and eventually spelling, when I in the end - when running spellcheck - realise - I still have a lot of textboxes I have forgot to change. (And I have hundreds and hundreds). My question is: Is there a way to make an overall change for the entire document, like "Change all textboxes to English" ? This have been an issue for years, and I still haven't been able to find the answer - So any help will be welcome. Thanks.

Is there a simple and effective way to export JSXbin files and a better encryption method?I've tried this, but it seems difficult to succeed.https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/how-can-i-save-export-a-javascript-jsx-file-as-an-encrypted-file-jsxbin-in-vs-code-on-mac-os/m-p/14630504 The jshaman(https://www.jshaman.com/) encryption tool doesn't seem to work.Thank you very much.

Sometimes, it is necessary to switch to the direct selection tool (white arrow) in order to recognize it.Sometimes, it is again necessary to use the selection tool (black arrow) to recognize it.For example:// open the paths in photoshopopenPathsInPhotoshop(paths);This requires the selection tool.If it is a direct selection tool, it will report an error. Is it possible to pass through?Because sometimes we don't need to distinguish between them. Thank you very much.

I have a Master (aka Parent) page that has an apparently demonic text box. No matter how many times I unlock it and delete it on the linked (aka Child) page in the document, the text box stays there. (I have tried doing it like 12 times in a row; the delete button is powerless.) I tried rebuilding the document page; the glitch remains. I tried rebuilding the Master page; the glitch remains. The lefthand pages that use the same facing-page Master pages are fine; the righthand pages have this vexing text box that will not go away or allow changes.  If I unlock that text box on the Child page and type a new word in, it seems to allow it, but apparently puts a second text box on top of the original, so there are two words illegibly on top of each other. (Screenshots: the word "Schedule" is in the demonic Master-page box; you can see in the second screenshot that I unlocked it and tried to replace the word "Schedule" with "Maps." The words just sit on top of each other, because the unl

Hello. I have a problem with indesign font autoactivation.When i insert a picture to document, all the fonts are deactivated.When i insert another picture in to the document, all the fonts are back.I use Connect Fonts for font activation.Indesign andConnect Fonts with latest updates.macOS Ventura 13.4.1 - latest updates. Please watch the enclosed video file.Can somebody help me with this bug? 

I have no idea the technical terms for this, but I'll start with the example that's easiest to type out.When I double click on a paragraph style to open the settings, the window appears behind the program. In order to see it, I have to use one of my hot corners (I'm on a Macbook Pro) to show mission control and then select InDesign and then the window will be visable. This happens for all dialog boxes like that in just InDesign, all other Adobe programs are working fine. Does anyone else have this problem? It's hugely inconvenient to have to swipe up every time I want to adjust a paragraph style or color or export something, etc.

Hola, tengo un problema con Indesign y es que estaba funcionando bien, de pronto no quiso abrir no se porqué sólo queda cargando. Ya lo desinstalé y lo instalé reiniciando la máquina y nada. Ya probé también con otras versiones y sigue igual y ya no sé que hacer...

(DE) Ich habe in InDesign das Problem, dass sich beim Einstellen des Kerning-Abstands nicht nur der Abstand zwischen den gewünschten Zeichen verändert, sondern auch andere Abstände beeinflusst werden. Das Problem tritt bei allen getesteten Schriften auf und betrifft sowohl den optischen als auch den metrischen Kerning-Modus.  Danke (EN) I have an issue in InDesign where adjusting the kerning not only changes the spacing between the selected characters but also affects various other spacings. This problem occurs with all tested fonts and in both optical and metric kerning modes. Thanks      

Hi All, I opened a document I have been working on and noticed that, all of a sudden, all my tabs and returns have disappeared. All text in frames runs together. The fonts seem correct and color and font style formatting seems to be intact, but there are no returns and tabs anymore. WTH? Please help if you can!

Hello! Is there a way i can batch render to remove all existing hyperlinks in multiple in design files? 

I'm trying to export an InDesign file I have previously worked on other versions, but this error prompts: "Failed to export the PDF file.""Possible cause of failure is present on spread with page number "5"." I have deleted the spread mentioned in the error, removed all hyperlinks, verified that the document has no errors, and tried to export the file in batches, but nothing is working. For reference: I'm using macOS Monterey.  

Bonjour la communauté, J'a créé un document type au format A3 que je souhaiterais transformer en page double A4 afin de pouvoir l'imprimer en livret. Lorsque j'utilise la fonction variante de mise en page j'arrive bien à créer une version A4 mais en page simple. Quelqu'un aurait la solution pour créer un gabarit double A4 ?Merci à vous Aurore 

On creating new document, Adobe lists a set of preset templates in all its applications, which are free and one does not need to purchase these from Adobe stock. For example in Indesign, one can see a host of templates under each of Print, Web and Mobile along with the blank templates, which are all available for viewing and download. Suddenly I am not able to see these! I can only see the blank ones under each category and the ones that I have downloaded up until now. I have tried re-installing creative cloud suit, accessing CC through a new account on my Mac and anything that I left out, Adobe support has tried to solve it through remote access. Haven't come across anything like this anywhere online. Any ideas about what is happening and how to resolve this?

So far I've managed to use a single InDesign document for both print and ebook versions of the same book. The differences are so far only in the frontmatter section and some parent page elements like page numbers, so I hide/show a "Print only" layer and "Ebook only" layer for those elements. Has worked great so far. But now I discovered that my "clever" approach to a divider between scenes (sometimes called a dinkus) wasn't so clever after all. Avoiding graphics for the ebook (they look terrible in sepia or dark mode), the author (my husband) and I decided to use a simple line. Paragraph rules are ignored in epub, and I was afraid that "___" (a series of underscore characters) might have a slight gap between the characters in some fonts used in e-readers and apps, so I used ten spaces styled as underlined, which looks like this:But apparently the epub export ignores paragraphs with only spaces, so my nice line disappeared! So my first question is: Do you think underscore char

Hi Everyone, My co-workers and I are looking at doing some training with some of the creative cloud apps (Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator etc.) I am having a really difficult time navigating the website that the team member provided me in the customer support chat. Does adobe even offer these type of trainings online?  Thanks!  

Hello! I designed a book in Indesign, saving it in Cloud Document with no problems. Im currently backing up all the files on a local server but i cant download the main Indesign document, the downloading wheel keeps spinning until it says that couldnt be downloaded. The file itself is still working fine on Cloud Documents. Also tired saving it with the Save As feature but after doing that Indesign crashes and wont let me open the file that it saved. I need to locally back up the file. This is the error that displays when i try to open the file saved with the Save As feature:

Hi. Is anyone experiencing long delays when either moving or copying InDesign files on the Mac desktop? I'm running Ventura now but was seeing the same behaviour with Monterey which is a shame as I was hoping the OS upgrade might fix things. I'm running the latest InDesign v.18.0.It's kind of weird as it's not every ID file, it's quite random and happens with files I've opened directly from their folders, and with files that have been sent to me by an editor which I haven't yet worked on.I've tried all of the usual procedures for fixing finder issues - delete p.list, start up in safe mode and so on - but nothing makes this go away. A restart will sometimes improve things briefly but the issue always returns after a few files have been moved between directories.Any ideas out there? I can't find any references to this issue elsewhere.
