InDesign

I also tried finding the missing files and placing but not sure what folder they go in exactly. 

Hello! Opening illustrator files from InDesign, working on them, saving them and going back to InDesign. The links are all updated, but sometimes it’s leaving anomolies, like double shadows of the figure in. Friends are having the same problem, one had the cursor x/y measurements from the illustrator file appear in InDesign - which wouldn’t even have saved into the file? Anyone else had this problem?Pictures - show the x/y (illustrator on the left - inDesign on the right) and the double calendar which is most definitely not there in the illustrator file! 

If I only knew:myStyleA=  app.documents[0].objectStyleGroups.itemByName(groupName).objectStyles.itemByName("A");Is it possible to directly obtain the same level 'B' path from myStyleALike this:myStyleB=myStyleA.parent.itemByname("B");Instead of rewriting it completely: myStyleB=app.documents[0].objectStyleGroups.itemByName(groupName).objectStyles.itemByName("B"); 

I'm running InDesign 2022 17.01 on a Macbook Pro 2019 OS Monterey V 12.1.  I use indesign on this computer every single day with no issues, but today, I am unable to save my projects or use undo/redo. I restarted indesign earlier to address the undo/redo problem and it worked for a while, but eventually was disabled again. At the time, I was able to save my files so I felt comfortable restarting the program. But now, both save and undo/redo are disabled. I was however able to succesfully export, which requires saving. Very strange.  other things that may or may not be related:- Text boxes in one of my projects are creating duplicate edges and I have to double click them for the text to readjust inside the new parameters. Usually the text adjusts while I drag the box. This is only happening on one of my projects open, while the other is normal. - Zooming with my fingers on my trackpad is randomly disabling and I have to relaunch the program to fix it. Zoom on tr

Hi, It would be extremely helpful if one could set a font not only to metric and optical settings but also to AI. An AI that optimally balances character spacing would be very helpful, for example, in logo lettering. Best,C

Hi everyone.​Is there no corresponding code for the Reset to Base option?There is no information in the script manual, and only I have asked about the relevant content in the forum.For example, the basic style is A, but after running, B is not completely based on AOriginally,  @m1b  wrote a function, but now I have found that the outer major items have been selected(inherited), but the internal values have not been inherited.Pay attention to the changes in the style of object B, which was originally based on "TrueNone".In fact, every time based on it, it needs to be reset to the bese. But the relevant code is missing for some unknown reason.var A = app.documents[0].objectStyles.itemByName('A');var B = app.documents[0].objectStyles.itemByName('B');B.basedOn = A;resetObjectStyle(B);function resetObjectStyle(style) { var baseStyle = style.basedOn; var oldName = style.name; if (!baseStyle.isValid) { return alert('Object style cannot be reset due to missing base style.');

When I go to update a review link in InDesign, I keep getting this error message "there was an error updating the artifact". After that, the link does not work for most people. I am signed in to Adobe. Everything is up-to-date.... But this issue still persists. Can Adobe please fix this issue? It's emarassing when I go to send the review link to my leaders and they just get an error message when they try opening it.   <Title renamed by moderator>

Any idea when the fix for the flyout boxes is going to be fixed? It has been months now and still not working.

Hi all. I am trying to export a PNG file that is only one line of text with an outer shadow effect. No other layers or elements. Just the text with an effect. When I first created the file I tried a drop shadow. But when I exported it, I realized it didn’t look good and I continued working on it. However now every export looks like the version with the drop shadow despite all the changes I’ve made in the software. This has never happened before.The design exports fine as any other file type (PDF looks fine). But it has to be PNG because I need a transparent background. When I add additional lines of text they show up in the PNG, but the drop shadow never goes away.I’ve restarted my computer (MAC), uninstalled InDesign, reset preferences, I’ve even recreated the entire design from scratch using a new file name and the same image shows up whenever I export a PNG. I am losing my mind, please help.  

Working in Indesign 2026 v 21.4. The drop shadow exported incorrectly from the settings for it. Onscreen it looked as it should, but once exported it shifted it dramatically. I tried adding in and changing the distance in the drop shadow settings but it always showed up the same, incorrectly. Anybody else experiencing something like that?This image is the onscreen, correct view, it is only supposed to add a slight shadow so it is set to 0 distance.This image is of the exported png file with the clearly incorrect rendering of the drop shadow where it is clearly offset and at a distance

Hello,I am using InDesign on Windows (latest version, 21.0) for the first time, and the app remains stuck indefinitely on the startup screen at the "Starting Panels" stage, never reaching the interface. I have let it run for up to 10 minutes with no result.In Task Manager, the InDesign.exe process consumes around 47% CPU across 25 active threads throughout the hang, so it does not appear to be frozen but rather stuck in a process that never completes.I also installed and tested an earlier version (20.0) from Creative Cloud, and the exact same issue occurs there as well, so this does not appear to be version specific.Here is everything I have already tried without success:- Resetting preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift at launch)- Fully deleting the InDesign Preferences and Cache folders (AppData Roaming and Local)- Deleting the Recovery folder- Deleting the AdobeFnt*.lst font cache files in the Caches folder- Temporarily disabling antivirus (Avast, file shield)- Adding an antivirus exception f

I have just updated to the 2023 InDesign, and now suddently my documents are read-only and I cannot save the file, but have to make a save as version and give the document a new name everytime I have to save my work.Do you know why this is happening? And how to avoid this?

We use File > Place… to add text (.docx) to InDesign documents.Words in the .docx file are missing in the StoryEditor version and the InDesign file (see screenshot).What tool in InDesign can be used to link/import unformatted word documents without altering the original? 

Buongiorno.Voglio modificare un testo con In Design, ma quando clicco sulla parola da correggere non succede nulla. Che cosa devo fare?

Refer to attached screenshots.Screenshot 01: the numbering of Header, Sub-header, and Sub-sub-header is fine on this page.Screenshot 02: however, on the next page (and onward) all of the sub-sub-header numbers stay stuck at 3.2.1.Screenshot 03: shows settings fro the numbers at Level 3.I cannot figure out what Level 1 and 2 work but Level 3 does not. 

Hello, I am having an issue with InDesign. When I import text into a file, apply paragraph and character styles, and then copy and paste the text into another file with the same imported styles, the text loses its font and becomes Minion Pro. Does anyone know why this happens?I use windows 11 and the indd is 20.5.2Thanks! V

Screenshot attached. The text is threading into a small point in the middle of the page instead of the full text box. Anyone have any clue why this is happening or how to fix it? Thanks in advance! 

When I select the text to create a new destination, it doesn’t show anything but the previous text in the name box in the pop-up, but the selected text does show up on the Hyperlink panel after I press OK. However, it doesn’t show up (and therefore I can’t select it) on the Cross-Reference drop-down when I try to add the cross-reference. 

I am using the latest version of Indesign 21.4.I have created a graphic frame and have linked an SVG graphic within it.Normally, double clicking allows me to resize the content (brown grabbers show)This is no longer working properly and it’s driving me nuts because I work with a lot of SVG logos.I’ve tried rolling back to older version 21.3 and it did not fix.I tried resetting preferences and it did not fix.What gives? I need to be able to do this for my job.

Hello everyone.I want to group scattered attributes together.Can I only write like this:textWrapPreferences.textWrapOffset = [2, 2, 5, 5];But can't it be like this? The one below seems invalid:myObjStyle.textWrapPreferences.properties = {textWrapMode: TextWrapModes.BOUNDING_BOX_TEXT_WRAP,textWrapOffset: [2, 2, 5, 5],} 

In Indesign I open Index, I highlight a word in my document that I want in the index (I don't want topics). I have "reference" selected. I choose New Page Reference, Add All and Done. I have Current Page selected. Then my entry ends up as a topic. It happens over and over again. What to do?

Right now, I can only write it like this:var objPath = app.documents[0].objectStyleGroups.itemByName(ObjStyleGroup).objectStyles.itemByName(myObjStyle);objPath.textFramePreferences.insetSpacing = [2.5 * 2.834645, 0, 0, 0]But I want to write it in the `properties` section, like this:objPath.properties = {textFramePreferences.insetSpacing:[2.5 * 2.834645, 0, 0, 0]}But that seems to be wrong.What should I do?

When I open an InDesign file…it comes up snd fills my screen..,I have no control. What’s going on? Is this a fixable problem?
