InDesign

InDesign can’t package my document because it says it cannot copy the linked files from my Synology NAS. All permissions appear correct, but InDesign keeps refusing to package. Saving the INDD locally, choosing a different destination, reinstalling, and reconnecting to the NAS as a registered user didn’t help. Has anyone experienced this issue or found a way to make InDesign successfully package from an SMB share? [Moved from the CC Desktop forum by moderator]   <Title renamed by MOD>

Disclaimer: I’m using the Italian version of InDesign, so I’m not sure if I translated the names of the commands and windows correctly. After updating to InDesign 21, I encountered two problems in how formulas are managed.When working with documents containing many formulas, I usually use an AppleScript that inserts MathML into the InDesign document using the create from mathML function. First issue (very serious).When inserting formulas via the AppleScript function, they appear correctly formatted according to the original mathematical notation in Word: variables in italics, numbers in regular type, etc.However, if I open the formula with Edit MathML, it is completely transformed according to the style selected in the drop-down menu of the Mathematical Expressions window, disrupting the original formatting.  In the image, you can see the properly formatted inserted formula at the top, and below it, the Edit MathML window showing the “updated” version that automatically scrambles the f

There are NO files open in ANY program on my computer, and Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop are hogging ALL of my RAM. Since the last update, my computer has been glitchy, so I had a little check this morning and see THIS. We pay entirely too much for this subscription to have it bring our computers to a halt this way. 

Boa tarde, uma amiga me pediu orientação para corrigir um erro de arquivo dela no InDesing. Tentamos de varias maneiras e não conseguimos. Podem verificar por favor."O InDesign detectou que o arquivo ... está danificado. Você gostaria que reparássemos o arquivo? O arquivo será processado temporariamente em nossos servidores." Ao tentar reparar, não funciona. Pode entrar em contato para que eu possa enviar o arquivo .indd obrigado

I am exporting an InDesign (ver. 21.0) layout to reflowable ePub and there is a strange problem with the endnotes (see attached). URLs in the endnotes have disappeared, replaced by a very short underline. If you click on the underline it takes you to the link, but why is the text of the link (https://, etc.) missing?

I have created a children's book that is more than 200 pages long. The document has multiple pop-ups on each page. Saving the document as an interactive PDF does not allow the pop-up functions to work when the PDF is opened. How can I save this document so that all the pop-ups will work when the document is opened. I want it to work for a large variety of users. Thank you!

Hi There,Please can someone help with a question about setting the Paragraph Shading colour within a Paragraph Style.I've tried a few things but as yet haven't managed to nail it.Here's the snippet I've been testing...allPars = app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles; for (var g = 1; g < allPars.length; g++) { allPars[g].paragraphShadingColor.name = "This Colour"; allPars[g].paragraphShadingColor.name = allPars.itemByName("This Colour"); } Neither of the two versions, shown above, work?Is this not possible via a script?Thanks.

Hi,in Illustrator I can convert a line with arrow  into a shape to add a outline:  How is this possible in Indesign?Thanks!mycc

Hi Adobe Team,I am facing serious issues after updating to the latest InDesign version 21.0.The software has become extremely slow, and the main problem is that the tool panels (Pages, Layers, Colours, Effects, etc.) are not responding on a single click. The application itself is running, but these icons become unresponsive or inaccessible, which is disrupting my entire workflow.Please look into this issue urgently. It’s affecting productivity and making the software very difficult to use.Thank you.Priyankar 

Bonjour,Je me permets de vous contacter sur le partage des maquettes InDesign.Savez-vous s'il serait possible à l'avenir de se partager les maquettes de la même manière qu'un Google Doc ? Merci d'avance, Emile

The InDesign version i have there's no option to install Arabic language. I bought the licence from Adobe from Italy. 

Hello,I've been seeing issues with feathers (and any kind of transparency related effects) that were working correctly in Indesign 2025, not showing/working in Indesign 2026.Below is an example with a Directional feather correctly in Indesign 2025, and not showing in 2026.Adobe, what's the work-around here: don't open old documents???  

I shut down my computer because Photoshop and Illustrator stopped responding. I was working with a pretty large file. After restarting, I've been unable to launch any creative cloud apps. I tried launching from the app directly, from a file, and from the creative cloud app (didn't work because it wouldn't open). Not too sure what to do here, any help would be greatly apprciated!

hello all - wondering if i can get some help with a script. script function - export all and only the selected objects on a page as individual JPGs.  issue - the JPGs keep exporting with extra padding at the top of the box IF there is text close to the top edge. nothing is exceeding the background (example text frame boxes etc) - everything is inside of the grouped background. it is also only happening if there is text next to a top edge - any other edge it does not add any extra padding, hopefully this screenshot will help explain the script: (function () {if (app.documents.length === 0) { alert("Open a document first."); return; }var doc = app.activeDocument;if (!doc.selection || doc.selection.length === 0) {alert("Select the items you want to export, then run the script.");return;}var items = [];for (var i = 0; i < doc.selection.length; i++) {var it = doc.selection[i];if (it.hasOwnProperty("geometricBounds")) items.push(it);}if (items.length === 0) { alert("Nothing exportable in

Hello, I'm very pleased with the new font browser in Illustrator. I'm hoping Adobe can include this update within InDesign. It would be a super helpful tool to have across all applications! Do you think Adobe will publish this update to other programs?

Building a calendar, and it would be helpful to have guides snap to the cells for the master page to help with the placement of holidays or other special dates. This is something I would think it would already do, but nah.

I recently downloaded Lucida Console from adobe fonts on my home computer, but when i downloaded the same font (still listed as just "Lucida Console") on my work computer,  it showed up in InDesign as "Lucida Console W1G". I understand this means it has broader language support,  but it's a problem, since the same font is now registered differently across devices, and I would have to replace it every time i open my document on a different device.  Does anyone know why this happens, or how to fix it?Thanks

I have most of my fonts set to Futura PT. However, every time I open documents at work, the fonts convert to Gotham and Myriad. So I change it back to Futura and save it. That said, when I open the document again, it changes the fonts again. It drives me crazy. How do I just keep it to the Futura font? I don't use Paragraph/Character styles since these documents have multiple different sizes and weights of Futura, so it doesn't really benefit me to use set sizes/weights in something like a Paragraph style. That said, I believe its related to what is causing this issue. Please advise!  

Hi. I'm working with InDesign 2026. I want to add a specific character at the end of every paragraph (see example). I don't know what is better: a nested style? A GREP style?

Short question - does InDesign now also have a dimensioning tool like Illustrator? 🙂

I have a script ready that pushes a report to the folder as a text file.    But want it to use the InDesign document name in the dialog - at the moment it shows Untitled.   It's not critical, but how do I get the filename into the output file automatically?    Any ideas?

can i install indesign on chromebook?
