InDesign

Hi, Please assist me to understand that how the Text (Read Only!) is inserted in attached InDesign on Master page without using the Layer. Thanks,Santosh

hello, i am working on a book (currently in dissertation form) that has endnotes at the end of the entire book. right now, the endnotes are auto-populating on the very last page of the document. after i made enough endnotes to fill up that page, rather than stopping at the end of the page and starting a new endnote page, the footnotes are bleeding off of the page into the blank in-between space. i'd like for the endnotes to fill up multiple, continuous pages. i have tried a few things that have not worked, like copying some over to a new page, or attempting to figure out how to add a second endnote text box on the next page. thank you! 

There is a command to recompose all the stories. It is:Ctrl + Alt + / I want to invoke the same command using this method:app.menuActions.item("$ID/Show Rulers").invoke(); Instead of "Show Rulers" how do I write the above command. Thanks

Im on the brink of waving InDesign goodbye, when this happens ever egain. After Updating InDesign to 20.3.1 every window with a previous checked "preview"-checkbox gets reverted to unchecked – Every. Effin. Update. Is this really neccessary??  

Takes forever to switch from open file to open file!!!!!!! And also takes forever for placed image files to show high res. 

This my first posting here. I am an 86 year-old retired minister of the Uniting Church in Australia, formerly Methodist. I have a large number of sermons, orders of worship, articles etc saved on my computer, many of which are in InDesign format (from when I was a paying subscriber to (I think) CS6. My understanding was that I had purchased a lifetime subscription to InDesign, but I can no longer retrieve them. How do I now download these 'old' versions so that I and my family can enjoy recalling those old days? Russell_0502.

I have a text frame in Adobe InDesign with around 100 lines, each separated by a hard return (Enter). The font size is 12 px and I want the line height (leading) to also be 12 px.Manually adjusting each line is too slow. Is there a faster way to narrow the spacing for all lines at once, ideally without editing each paragraph individually?

My Adobe fonts not activating in Indesign. This has just started in the past week or so. I have tried using both indesign 2025 & 2026 i am on a mac sequoiz 15.6. Please help!!!

when i use the pen tool i can't see the guide i've tried every thing but i couldn't fix it 

I KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!I checked that keep options are set to "anywhere"Now that I got that out of the way, Whenever I press do a return, or a soft return, the text on the right of my cursor just dissapeares, no matter how much room there is in the text square. The red '+' sign appeares indicating overflow. Does anyone recognises or know how to solve this problem? Things I tried: Paragraph styles reset. Preferences reset Updated InDesign. Make text room bigger Ask ChatGPT

I have a file that has 2 pages and currently I have a data merge .csv attached to the file that allows me to create individual PDFs for each of the 54 companies. Problem is that I must create each of these one-at-a-time which is incredibly time consuming. I'm curious to know if there's a way to automate the merge to individal PDFs that is accurately named to each company? Is this possible and how do I do that; berring in mind I have no idea how to write a script. or make it run successfully. Thanks for any help I can get. Kim

I found this thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/auto-close-alert-message/td-p/9398258Images here: https://github.com/Marshall-Brooks/Sandbox/issues/2 See also:https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/simulate-button-press-in-script-ui/m-p/7460138 I'm somewhat spoiled by the Enhanced Message Box add-on for Microsoft Access which shows a standard Msgbox with a countdown of seconds until the box closes. I used @Peter Kahrel's Scipt UI guide to modify the first linked script as follows:function AutocloseAlert(message, delaySeconds, title){ title = title || 'Alert'; var alertWindow = new Window('palette', title); // var control_text = alertWindow.add('edittext', [0, 0, 500, 200], message, {multiline: true}); // var control_text = alertWindow.add('edittext', , message, {multiline: true}); var control_text = alertWindow.add('edittext', undefined, message, {multline:true}) // if(delaySeconds === 0)

Hello,For almost 2 years, we have been testing and debugging our PLNs in their release versions, as we could not get the debug versions to build/link, and it was still possible to run in the VS2019 debugger with breakpoints etc...Now, we have some quiet time, and I deceided to try to get the debug version of the PLN to build and finally managed to et the debug version of my PLN to build and link.But, when I try to use the "normal" version of InDesign to load my debug PLN, nothing happens.Do I need to also install the DEBUG version of InDesign (yuk!) ?Very best regards,Olivier

Hello, This is a script from a previous post in 2011. It works great! But I have the following request: How to apply it to a specific paragraph style like "Heading 1" instead of selecting the text?  //DESCRIPTION: Converts selected text to title case smartly  var ignoreWords = ["a", "an", "and", "the", "to", "with", "in", "on", "as", "of", "or", "at", "into", "that",         "by", "from", "their", "then", "for", "are", "not","cannot", "be", "is", "which", "can"];var intCaps = ["PineRidge","InDesign","NJ","UMC", "FCCLA", "SkillsUSA", "d’Oeuvres", "VAT", "VIES",]; // or by creating text files named ignoreWords.txt and intCaps.txt in the same folder as the script ignoreWords = getIgnoreFile(ignoreWords);intCaps = getIntCaps(intCaps); try {    myText = app.selection[0].texts[0].contents;} catch(e) {    exit();} theWordRanges = myText.split("/");for (var i = theWordRanges.lengt

I have an interactive PDF created in indesign. I have hyperlinks in my doc that open/connect to pdfs in a separate folder where the hyperlinked pdfs are stored.  I would like to have this interactive pdf placed on a website maintaining the separate file structure and its links. How do you accomplish this?

Hello, Updated to Adobe 2025 months ago, and it was working last week until I needed a Mac update. It was not working after it needed an update (crashes on load and shows "not responding"). I updated my Mac, and it still won't work. MacOS Sequoia 15.5. 2022 Mac Studio Apple M1 Max.I have deleted Cache, Preferences, cmd+shift+option+control on start, reinstall, etc., and nothing has worked. Old installs are not working. I've never had this problem with any Adobe app before. Any help?

I’m working on the design below, and when I press W, the layout changes back and forth—see screenshots below. The version on the left is how it should look, on the right, how it should not look. The issue disappears after I restart the application, but it returns soon after. This is a significant issue for professional designers, it means we can no longer rely on the accuracy of what your software displays. Setup: macOS Tahoe 26.1, InDesign 21.0.1. PS: The screenshot on the right seems to display a previous step in the process, for unknown reasons.PPS: I’m not talking about how ‘W’ hides/shows the bounding boxes, I’m talking about the design itself changing. 

Hi.  I am creating an ebook and adds an audio file to some pages.  Is there a way that an audio scrubber or controller be available? I have tried placing the audio itself and expanding it, makes it visible on the page but the audio scrubber doesn't act properly on different versions of iPhones.  It only acts correctly on iPhone 17 but on other models, the scrubber shrinks or jumps around the page.  Not having the problem on Mac and iPad.   Please help.  Thank you.

Will not launch with Windows 11. Error 0xc0000142.Also, Indesign 2025 20.5.1 freezes when trying to edit paragraph style options.

Recently my CS6 InDesign had pink around all the text in my newsletter. The font choices Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic are in wrong order and have [brackets around them.]  Whole page is pink, but i can still read the black fonts. It prints out without the pink, and a PDF isn't affected, but it's tough to see through all that as I'm composing or cutting-and-pasting.  Hellllppp!!!!                                             Bill D. 

Hi 🙂The fractions in InDesign 2026 (bottom expression) are much greater in size than in InDesign 2025 (upper expression), even though I've both set at 8pt. Can I somehow set the 2026 fractions to the size of the 2025 ones? Thanks in advance.

Wenn ich im Verknüpfungsfenster Bilder mit Sonderzeichen im Dateinamen wo anders hinkopieren will aus dem Kontexmenü funktioniert das nicht. Es gibt eine Fehlermeldung. Wieso läßt Adobe in ihrer Adobe Stock Bibliothek zu, Bilder mit Sonderzeichen zu benennen? Könnt ihr das in Zukunft korigieren? 

Hi, I’m using version 21.0 on Mac. When I move (for example) a rectangle next to another rectangle, they appear to snap into contact. However, when I zoom in, I can see they aren’t perfectly adjacent, there’s a small gap between them, the width of which seems to depend on how zoomed in I was when I aligned the elements. A quick online search shows this is a known, ongoing issue that still hasn’t been fixed. Please look into it, it’s quite frustrating to work with. NOTE: My InDesign environment has Snap to Guides and Smart Guides active, and Snap to Document Grid not active.

Wir haben hier ein InDesign-Dokument in das eine Illustratordatei eingebunden worden ist an unterschiedlichen Positionen mit unterschiedlichen Beschnittrahmen.Beim PDF-Export werden auch die durch den Zuschnitt des Illustrator-Dokuments "unsichtbaren" Elemente mit exportiert. Sie sind zwar unsichtbar in der exportierten PDF, aber wenn ich die PDF-Datei mit z.B. Illustrator wieder öffne, kann ich die unsichtbaren Pfade sehen.Warum werden die unsichtbaren Pfade mit ausgegeben?Wenn ich das InDesign-Dokument als Postscriptdatei dem Distiller übergbebe, passiert das nicht.

I just closed my mac without turning it off, and when i opened it the next day, i could not do anything on my document. I can open new documents, but all menus are gray, like there is an opened window that does not exist. Also, i cannot quit indeisng, nor click on "about indesign".... I triesd to delete preferences, caches, et reinstall it, nothing has worked...
