InDesign

Hi, Getting a problem with adobe publish online where uploaded documents are appearing like this where you only have a small box rendering.  This is how the document should look (screenshot from indesign) What we’ve tried:Save as idml > open idml > save back as indd Uploaded as a previous link Uploaded as a new link Get other designers to try and upload the document on there computers Changed the settings in the advanced panel to different valuesFYI indesign, chrome and the windows are updated to the latest versions.Anyone else come across this issue? Any other information I can provide to help please let me know.Many thanks,Tom

Currently, I have selected an image and a text frame. I want only the image to remain selected after the function executes.Here is the code:I want only the selected image to remain after executing “exit();”.Thank you very much.var doc = app.activeDocument;var item = doc.selection[0]; var items = doc.selection; if (items.length > 1) { var sel = items; tx = 0 for (i = 0; i < sel.length; i++) { if ('TextFrame' == sel[i].constructor.name) { tx = sel[i]; } if ('TextFrame' != sel[i].constructor.name) { ob = sel[i] } } if (tx != 0) { getA(); exit(); } }function getA() { var a = 2 + 3;} 

Due to repeated code and cross-references, I want to use a separate file, but I can’t completely separate the code.For example, I have a main file,A.jsx (this name may be renamed frequently)://@include ‘B.jsx’;        var doc = app.activeDocument;        var item = doc.selection[0];         var items = doc.selection; b();function a{...}Subfile B.jsx (this name is fixed)://@include ‘../pub/A.jsx’;        var doc = app.activeDocument;        var item = doc.selection[0];         var items = doc.selection; function b() {...    a(); // Here, I need to call `a()` from the main file A.jsx...}Now here’s the problem:The path between A.jsx and B.jsx is a relative path, and this will not change.However, A.jsx might be renamed frequently in the future.Is there a way to determine its name in reverse?Thank you. 

I’ve selected some rows, but they don’t start from the first row.I want to use a script to set a minimum row height for the currently selected rows.Like this:  

Hi, I created a presentation with many links to many folders. However, many of the folders and links therein were not used in the presentation. To expedite the bibliography process, I was wondering if I could package the project and maintain the folder structure in which each asset is stored, to come up with a list of all the folders/sources actually used. Thanks for any suggestions/ideas.

I am trying to move the vertices of a polygon:I thought I found a solution but this shows exactly the issue I am trying to avoid. Thanks.

Hi Team,I need your assistance with an issue related to using the MinionPro font in MathType.Please see the attached PDF. The document was processed in InDesign and includes MathType equations that use the MinionPro font. When working with this file, InDesign becomes very slow and difficult to use. For example export the PDF or update the mathtype images. However, when we replace MinionPro with another font, such as STIX Math, the performance returns to normal.Could you please advise if there are any known issues with using MinionPro in this setup?Thank you for your help.https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/l06aot95fpwif2chfr49w/04_9781032658872c03_B4_p1-97.pdf?rlkey=zqyphls7g9o0z6idzwxsbuf8o&st=383m15ak&dl=0https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7o5w0tvtvuuw1h5itdejb/fontList.png?rlkey=clcvd6rgeeeg6faf0n77cki1m&st=x4kgj1rw&dl=0

Since updating to 2021 over a month ago, my workspace keeps resetting.  When I open a file, sometimes it opens with my default, chosen workspace.  Sometimes, however, it opens with no toolbars showing and I have to manually go to Window --> Workspace --> Default.  (Default is the name of the workspace I created with my workspace set as I want it.)  How do I set it so that my chosen workspace is the workspace that always opens?  It's so frustrating to have to open it up nearly every time I open a file because it's not defaulting to that workspace!

I have been using a font – Prenton RP Pro – for a numbers of years for a regular publication. I installed it from Adobe via Creative Cloud. It comes in 10 weights/versions.Last week i started getting errors for missing fonts. Indesign has changed the name of the font from “Prenton RP Pro” to “Prenton RP Pro (OTF)” and has split it into two groups: one with Black and Black Italic weights, and one with the other 8 weights in it (Light, Regular, Italic etc). I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the font family, checked Font Book for conflicting installations (none), have tried restarting machine and Creative Cloud in various orders, all to no avail. My colleague has no problem with his font (showing as a group of 10 weights of Prenton RP Pro - without the (OTF)). The problem is that if he opens a file I have worked on, it shows font errors and vice versa. We can no longer work on the same documents, which is proving impossible. I don’t know where to go from here. Advice appreciated

Hi,We are having an issue with Adobe InDesign where files saved on a network drive are opening as read-only. What’s happening:Files open as read-only for multiple users Save option forces “Save As” On the server, files show as open by a user That user does not actually have the file openWhat I’ve checked:Users confirmed file is not open on their device Checked open sessions on the server > It shows as the file being open by the user eventhough it’s not Disabled Preview Pane in Windows Explorer Deleted .idlk lock files where found Copied files locally → works fine (not read-only) Checked permissions (all OK) Restarted machines Updated InDesign to latest versionThis is happening across multiple files and users, only on the network drive. Any ideas what could be causing this?Thanks

When I publish my document online half of the page content is missing? There is two different page sizes on the document, and it looks like the size of the smaller pages are what is showing on the larger pages. I have been using this document for years without issue.

I am Running InDesign 2026. I went: Type > Document Footnote Options > Layout. My understanding is that is where the maximum attributable area for footnotes on a page can be set. The option is not there. Where is it?

Wie ist es möglich die Application bar in Indesign auf Mac einzublenden. Ich habe diverse Screenshots gesehen, bei welchen ich dort oben die Möglichkeit habe, direkt z. B. Files nebeneinander zu platzieren.Gemeint is die Leiste ganz oben neben dem Home-Icon.How can I display the application bar in InDesign on a Mac? I’ve seen various screenshots where I can use the options at the top to place files side by side, for example.I mean the bar right at the top, next to the Home icon.  

I have just upgraded from CS4 to Creative Cloud, so I am still discovering things that are different . .This problem is that the dialog box for creating a New Cross Reference takes about 40 seconds to load. That doesn’t seem right, so what am I doing wrong?I place my cursor in the desired location. Open the Cross References window Click on Create New Cross Reference Wait 40 seconds (it seems even longer!)Thanks for your help.

I’ve recently changed my renderer on Cinema4D from Standard to Redshift and when the renders are put into an InDesign document and then exported (with the settings below) we’re getting some renders burning out. Document screenshot: Export screenshot: Export settings: 

There is absolutely no reason InDesign should retain an export page range on all documents after one is set on an unrelated document. The export dialog for each document should be tied only to that specific document and start initially from a default state.Too many times I’ve been bitten by sending a client a truncated PDF because a previously opened document was exported with a defined page range.In what world would a designer decide that all subsequent documents should only be a specific page range. Any documents export settings should reset to a default state and only retain settings for that specific document.That is faulty logic. 

The dark mode and light mode follow the system, just like in Creative Cloud and Acrobat client. The darkest and brightest shades are in line with the Windows settings.

Hi when I export my InDesign magazine, it says when I'm trying to save it that text is overset on two pages. But when I look at the design, it isn't. I even deleted the text frames and typed up the content again. Any reason why this is happening that you can think of?

I created a publication based on a previous one. It's in a new folder with the default [fonts] and [lins] subfolders. Preflight shows no linking errors. Since there are numerous unused graphics in the link folder (from the old version), I wish to create a new package before sending to production. I get the above error with no explanation. How do I do this without manually copying every link (70) and font (46)?This is CS3 on Vista Home Premium.

I am suddenly encountering several freezing problem with InDesign. I cannot use the “Place” feature to bring an image in. If I click “Place” it opens the last folder and freezes. When I open “Task Manager” on my computer, it then shows Adobe using 88+% of the memory on the computer and I have to force close it. I also can’t open a file within InDesign because it does the same thing where it stops responding and freezes. I have to navigate to the file on my desktop and open it.I had zero issues with this until maybe 2-3 days ago. I have tried uninstalling, reverting to a previous version of software, and updating several preferences that may be impacting it and nothing has worked. We are a non-profit with a design that needs to be finalized for Monday, so I am in panic mode at this stage that I can’t get this to work.Any advice/solutions welcomed!!

After converting some old .indd files to v20 from v15 I see that custom metadata is completely wrong. I’d assume that during conversion InDesign finds old metadata packets and set incorrect values Here is the cimpress:Id value we have before conversion which is correctBut after conversion to v20(v19 works correct) I got something like this:Is it possible to fix conversion process somehow, because it breaks a lot of flows and makes migration to the new InDesign versions impossible?

Share for Review link made - client made edits with specific instructions to select text first on screen then click button to leave the comment for feedback and the feedback is not showing on screen in the backend so there is no way to put a comment with what is on the page.  I checked it myself and it is not showing my edits on the page either… HELP!! 

My layout has only one column.However, the text boxes are split into two or three columns.I have currently selected only the image “imgA”; how can I retrieve the text box below it?I want to use a script to determine how many columns the text boxes are split into.Thank you.
