InDesign

A coworker and I are collaborating on the same document. When I open the doc after she's saved it, Gotham Book appears as bold to me but it looks like normal (regular) text on her computer. We've confirmed we are both using the same version of INDD (we've run all updates). I've made sure to install all the same fonts she's using. This only happens with Gotham Book. Any ideas why this is happening? Also, when I open the document, it tells me I’m missing fonts even though I have replaced them multiple times now and downloaded the fonts. Gotham TT is one that it repeatedly says is missing, which I cannot find an exact match for. Could the license have been pulled for it?

I need an installer for InDesign 2022 (v 17.4.2) to run some old third party plugins. CC app no longer supports this version so I reached out to Adobe support who came back with “To assist you further with obtaining the version links for InDesign 2022 (v17.4.2), please visit the Adobe Community at https://adobe.com/community/ . Once there, select your product, and you can post your questions. The Adobe community members and experts will be able to help you with the download links you need.”So here I am and I can’t find any links, could anyone help please

Modifier keys suddenly stop working in InDesign. Shift, space, control, option, command lose their functionality. For example, option-dragging an element moves it instead of copying it, despite the double arrow cursor being displayed.This issue appears exclusively in InDesign. All other programs (including Adope apps) are unaffected. Only a reboot temporarily fixes it. After a while, the issue reappears. I have no software that changes keyboard behaviour. No Webroot installed either. Downgrading to an older InDesign version does not solve it. The issue appears irrespective of what files are open.MacOS 26.7 InDesign 21.5.1Having to reboot multiple times a day just to keep InDesign working is incredibly frustrating. Is there a fix to this issue?

After I place photo in the file, I can’t save the file. This problem occurs regardless of the file format or path. 

HelloIn InDesign I am having issues with the cursor and tools menu not working.  I have updated to the latest version, I have tried restarting and clearing preferences and turned of ai generative options.With the cursor, it gets stuck on one thing.  ie if I was using the Direct Selection arrow, no matter what I select (ie if I changed to eyedropper tool) it remains as Direct Selection.  With the tool menu, where you have ones with more options such as the T for Type icon - usually I click and hold and the addition options appear.  Now clicking and holding and nothing happens.Are these known issues?!Thanks!

Windows 11 - My screen is going completely black from the bottom whenever I drag an object. I can still see my object, but from the object bottom to the taskbar at the bottom it turns completely black. The black adjusts according to where i drag the object. The laptop is a 17” HP Envy.

I'm working on a document with a very long table that flows through text boxes from one page to the next. I can clearly see that there's space at the bottom of the page, but I can't seem to increase the size of the cells or row any more. When I try to drag down with the arrow, nothing happens. When I try to adjust manually, I'm met with a window that says "The value must be between 0.0417 in and 8.3333 in." Can anyone help me increase the length of the cells so that there's not overset text, and the space at the bottom of the page is filled? Thanks!

Every time I open InDesign, I find the context bar in the center of the screen. Even when I use the 'unpin' command, I move the context bar where I want it, and "pin" it. However, the bar keeps returning to the center, and the 'pin context bar' command doesn't seem to work.Screenshot attached.

Okay, I don't know if anyone else has this problem; however, I keep having it, and it's really annoying and frustrating because for some reason the Contextual Task Bar in Illustrator or InDesign keeps acting up by only moving in one place up and down not all over the screen like it should be and I've tried to save all my stuff, exit out, and reopen as well as turning it off in the Window section of both applications and nothing and I have no idea how to fix this so if anyone knows a permant solution to this please tell me cause I'm lost and I would really appericate it so much! Thanks so much in advance!-vevegirl13

When having a file open in InDesign 2024 on my Macbook Pro (Sonoma 14.2.1 OS), close the lid, plug into my LG UltraFine external monitor and wake the computer up, the InDesign window is still open and all the tool bars are visible and working, but the area where the artwork is becomes black/blank and I can't see the work. I can see the bounding boxes if I select all, but no image or text. The window is entirely blank. The same thing happens if I'm working on my LG monitor, unplug the display and then open the Macbook to work. I always have my Macbook closed when plugged into the LG display and use both an external keyboard and trackpad. The solution is to always save, quit InDesign and reopen. If I go through that it works again. Is it a bug with Apple? Is it a bug with Adobe? My LG firmware, OS and Adobe InDesign are all updated to the latest versions.

Hello, I’ve already taken all tried the steps laid out on Adobe’s site to troubleshoot. Additionally I’ve tried the following:Swapped from ethernet to Wifi, then back againLogged out of Creative cloud then logged back inre-started creative cloudTried uploading from the same Adobe login using 2 different computers, and 2 different indesign files.Tried to update existing link, does not work. Tried to publish new link, also does not work. No i do not have proxies or vpn getting in the way. I ebven tried turning my VPN on to see if that would somehow do anything, nothing. Just keep getting error 18 or 33 across 2 macs, multiple indesign files. Two comepletly separate networks as well. The one consistent thing is my Adobe account, any advice?

Hi everyone, Can anyone help me? I'm trying to create an InDesign snippet that contains a table, but every time I place it on the page, it messes up the layout. Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to fix it? Apologies for my english, please see the photo for reference before and after of my snippet 

Just a bout forever I have been have to use the option  (or shift and option if I want to duplicate horizontally or vertically)  to duplicate an element and drag it to where I want it to be. It is not working anymore. When I click on an object the double arrow does appear, but as soon as I drag, it disappears...I use this all the time, what is the fix?

After the most recent update I had to create a document using assets from older indesign files that previously never gave any issues. Now the dropshadows from multiple (different objects) move all over the place (away from the object as if theres a fixed lightsource) when I move these objects. When I turn off the dropshadow of the object, move the object and then turn the shadow back on it will have the shadow in it's correct position. When I move the object around multiple times it will start glitching the entire page until I move my cursor over it again. When I change the path of the object the displaced shadow will snap back into it's correct position, making me think this is a graphical display issue.  In the example below you can see how the dropshadows moved. (left one moved up when moving the object down and to the left. Right one stayed closer to it's original position but offset, middle is the original position before copying and moving).  i'm working on a

Ever since the last updated, drop shadows aren't displaying properly when exporting PNGs from Indesign. There are a couple of threads, but no solutions, It's becoming annoying, as the workaround is to close the app completely and reopen the file. Totally messes the workflow.

I have a suggestion regarding InDesign (version 20.5.3.x64).Currently, the feature for overset text displays the character count and percentage. However, it would be much more helpful to also have a word count option. Many vernacular languages, including Kannada (which I use for a newspaper publication), rely primarily on word count rather than character count.Would it be possible to add a word count indicator for overset text in a future update?Thank you for your time and consideration.Best regards,SIDDALINGAYYA B.

InDesign decided to stop letting me add photos or drag any in?Anyone else have this problem, or how do I fix it?Attached snip of what it says when I try placing an image, but i have full permission and it isn't in use.When I drag one in, nothing happens.Strange thing is that it let me put in a .png logo, but not a .jpeg image...?

Dear Adobe!Please add "Convert fonts to outlines" function in Export/PDF/Advanced dialog box in InDesign.Thank you!

Hello, I need help in removing border that appears around my text frame. I've looked at all the Text Frame Options and have changed all the setting and nothing is working to remove the .25in border that appears all around the text frame. Can someone please advise on how to fix this.  LaRhonda   [Moving from generic Start/Help forum to the specific Program forum...

I’m running the latest version on a MacBook Pro with Tahoe 26.2.So far I've noticed:Undo is unavailable (grayed out in the menu) Extreme lag time when importing large images Cursor gets stuck in the previous mode. (For example, if I switch to the magnifying glass to  enlarge the view then go back to the regular arrow, it stays in the magnifying glass. 

"Hi everyone,I recently switched to a new MacBook and I am trying to set up my workflow. I have several ongoing projects that were created using InDesign 2024 (version 19.x).To ensure the layout and formatting of these existing files remain perfectly intact, I do not want to convert them to the latest version of InDesign at this stage. I specifically need to install the 2024 version on my new machine to continue working on these files.However, when I check the 'Other Versions' section in the Creative Cloud Desktop app, the 2024 version is not listed or available for download. I have searched through various Adobe help pages but haven't found a direct download link or a way to make it appear in the app.Could someone please guide me on how to access and install InDesign 2024 on a new macOS system?Thank you in advance for your help!"

Trying to work with InDesign is such a pain. Not because the program is bad. Because it is severely disregarded and needs to be updated for integration with CC. The files are large and lengthy more often than not and Adobe is already killing my computer which seems to ONLY affect InDesign. Please give InDesign some attention. It needs your help and so do we 

I’ve noticed lately that InDesign no longer gives a warning about out-of-date cross references when I export to PDF. I’m using version 25.5.1. I really rely on that safeguard as I use cross references in most of my documents! Is there a fix?

Constantly at the bottom of the page, ‘did you know AI can do this and that’. How do I stop that, it totally grinds my gears? How about instead of that, you fix when I click to relink from CC libraries the panel removes all folders and slaps everything into one view. How about fixing that Adobe instead of AI?How about substantially improving the contents page dialogue with its tiny text, and congested space to work in?How about when I drag things from CC libraries it doesn't cause the page I am working in to nudge over?
