InDesign

Hi there,  The SHARE button in InDesign has a history of not working for me. I am running it on a MacBook Pro with macOS Ventura 13.4.1. I'm on Adobe Creative Cloud 5.11.0.522.1. The usual issues I have after clicking on the share button include the wheel spinning and the window never loading, or after clicking the update link button, the wheel spins continuously with no advance. Usually, after a restart or 2, I can get the window back up and running properly. This week, however, when I click the share button - I get a completely black window. Today, after a restart, I am getting a window with "Share for review" at the top and a continuously spinning wheel. The Share for Review feature is an awesome addition to the app. But, I'm not sure what the purpose of this feature is - if I can't depend on it to work every time I try to use it. Just looking for some consistency, and not having to hold my breathe everytime I click the Share button! HELP!

After updating to 21.0 I seem to not be able to upload a large catalog file that previously I was able to. I have done all of the following:Completely logged out of Creative CloudLogged off of InDesignRebooted my computer (3 times)Tried uploading much smaller documents (they uploaded) The file I'm trying to upload is 69.6 MB and approximately 157 pages long.When I try to upload a file, I use the process for uploading, choose all of my preferences and when I hit "Publish", nothing happens. No upload window. Nothing.Computer:Mac Studio (running parallels)OS Sequoia 15.6.1Windows (parallels) 11

v.21.0, Windows 11 x64After restarting Indesign, all custom toolbars disappear, and instead a long toolbar with all tools/windows appears. I tried to create a new workspace preset, but it's not helped. 

I used the place and link tool to make frames for the sections in the master I manually changed each frame's paragraph style and had to set the text frame options to align centered vertically. When I update the link, those edits are lost. I have these link options checked but it doesn't seem to preserve them.  How can I make it so that only new text would be inherited but the formatting remains the same? Thanks!

A puzzle. My type is printing as outline and I am unable to fix

Been experiencing this weird glitch/lag ever since I installed the new indesign update. Everything works fine and smoothly its just annoying this keeps happening. I just zoom in and out to make the page go back to normal before it happens again. Anyone know how to fix this?

Have other people experienced excessive slowness when opening and saving Indesign documents with Mac OS THOE? (My configuration: MAC STUDIO M2, 32 GB RAM)Even when exporting documents to PDF, the ‘wheel’ spins for a long time.Do you have any solutions?

Hi everyone, I’ve been working with my personal Adobe account, which was linked to my school’s education plan. I saved all my projects on Creative Cloud, assuming they would stay linked to my personal account. Recently, my personal account was removed from the school’s plan since I’m no longer a student, and now all my projects have disappeared from Creative Cloud. Is there any way to recover them? Were the projects tied to the school’s plan, or are they permanently lost? Thanks in advance for any help!

Bonjour, mon pc s'éteint quand j'utilise une fonctionnalité, est ce que quelqu'un peut m'aider ? 

I'm trying to create Interactive PDF using InDesign, but I'm running into couple of issues.When I'm exporting this design  file as Interactive PDF, I'm not able to see this table in the exported PDF. I checked the layers panel and everything looks okay (even asked perplexity for help). I've attached all relevant screenshots. Can someone please help me understand what I'm doing wrong?   

Why is it so difficult in this day and age for two or more people to be working on the same file at the same time? Even when I tell my coworker that I am done working on a file that is stored in the Cloud, when they open the file, they will start working on it and suddenly get this message:  Changes were made on another device. Save the document as s new file to retain your changes. Accepting remote changes may override your changes.  I had saved and closed my file 2-3 minutes prior and then notified them I was out. They were working on it for several minutes when they got that notice. That is a design flaw if you ask me.  We've also experienced issues where the file we save out there can't be opened because it has become corrupted. This happens with INDDL files in particular, but has happened with regular INDDC files.  

ia there a way to turn the tool bar back to the white and grey interface, its hard to see the blue tools in the bar.Thanks!   <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi everyone, Has anyone else the same problem on Windows app? The Ctrl+Alt+C command which was previously adjusting the text block to its contents, doesn't work anymore. Instead of it the app opens a video recording? But when I do click right on the text block and find "Adjustment" option, I still see the same Ctrl+Alt+C command on it? 

This happens every single time... Why can't you open the document centered or place the document to the top left.Is there a setting to NOT have your document open WAY to the right everyone time you open one?

Hi everyone.My function only accepts “objects.” So I first need to convert the selection state into “objects,” ideally in array form.My model is structured as follows:Some parts are incorrect; please point them out.Regardless of the cursor's state, the final `sel` should be an array object with a "length" property.Thank you. Currently, I cannot determine the three states of the cursor when it selects an image (including white arrow, black arrow, and pasted inside).Additionally, the cursor's position within and outside the table must be considered. var doc = app.activeDocument; // item represents the specific state of the cursor var item = doc.selection[0]; // items holds multiple selected objects, e.g., multiple images or text boxes selected simultaneously. var items; // sel is my target for operations and must be an array object (containing text boxes, images, geometric shapes) var sel; // Example: When cursor is in a text frame (not within a table) var textFrames = []; v

Hola, alguno pordia ayudarme, estoy buscando al version 19.5.4 de indd, ya que es soporte no me pudieron solucionar, me gustaria saber si alguien aca tiene la oppcion de esta version. Gracias!!

Hey all, I was in the middle of formatting a document and ran into an issue with the command + shift function. It acts like you're just clicking command and dragging. The bounding box gets bigger, but the image inside does not. I tried using com + shift + option to see if that function worked, and it doesn't either. What the heck happened?? I tried quitting and reopening, the shift+cont+opt+command when opening trick, the resetting default settings in the general preferences—nothing. Just a completely random event that started happening mid-edit.  Does anyone know what's happening and what I need to do? Delete the application entirely and redownload maybe? I read that didn't help other people years ago with similar issues... so I want to avoid that if possible if it's not going to work.

Hi sirI was trying to insert a rectangle frame tool inside a text frame using this code const selectedTextFrame = doc.selection[0];const page = selectedTextFrame.parentPage;const rect = page.rectangles.add({geometricBounds: [0, 0, 100, 100],});This code creates the rectangle, but it does not place it inside the text frame

I have CC and my InDesign file size is big but not unusually so (25 MB) as it is about 80 pages of high-rez (linked) images. I am using PDF for print when exporting, something I have done many times before but suddenly, it is taking 30-40 minutes and the PDF file size 216 MB! The last similar project had more images and made a PDF that was about 50 MB. I have not changed any settings, that I am aware of. Anyone have any ideas for me? The PDF is so huge that it crashes before I can review the whole thing.Thanks!

Good morning, everyone. In the new InDesign update, I’ve found a few issues: 1) the panels for menus reduced to icons no longer open; 2) if I ungroup elements from a group, they get deselected. Do you know if these problems will be fixed with an update?

As far as I can see, you haven't been able to fix the problem yet.I managed to get InDesign working with a little trick. I renamed my files:gl_ES.dic; gl_ES.aff and hyph_gl_ES.dic aspt_BR.dic; pt_BR.aff and hyph_pt_BR.dicThen I replaced the original Adobe files located in the pt_BR (Brazilian Portuguese) folder with the renamed mine. I'm never going to edit texts in Brazilian Portuguese, so I won't have any difficulty. That way I don't have to change the Info.plist file either. For InDesign I'm working in Brazilian Portuguese, when in reality I'm doing it in Galician. Since I have the OS in Spanish, I tried changing the files "DisplayLanguageNames.es.txt" and "DisplayLanguageNames.es_ES.txt" by changing the string "$$$/Lilo/DisplayLanguageName/pt_BR=galego" but it still appears everywhere "Portuguese (Brazil)".Would there be a way to change this? 

Hallo,Ich habe ein Dokument, das mit zwei Datensätzen pro Seite zusammengeführt werden soll.Wenn ich die Optionen zum Zusammenführen von Daten öffne und die Vorschau für mehrere Datensätze aktiviere, sieht das Ergebnis so aus, wie ich es erwartet habe.Wenn ich die Daten zusammenführe, scheinen die Informationen nach dem Zufallsprinzip durcheinander zu kommen, oder ein einzelner Datensatz wiederholt sich wiederholt.Ich habe den Datensatz bereits reduziert, die Optionen geändert, das Programm neu gestartet, aber das Verhalten bleibt dasselbe ...Kennt jemand Ratschläge?{Renamed by MOD}

For digital illustrations with transparent backgrounds. Is it better to flatten with white backgrounds before coverting to grayscale and placing in InDesign or leaving the backgrounds transparent? Transparency is not needed in InDesign (no overlapping elements). And transparency is causing unexpected results converting to Black Ink CMYK profile. I was lead to believe that white rectangles could create artifacts during printing. Is that not true?
