Hello sir i am using indesign CS6. My file have 100 page. As you see in my Screenshot my master page and other page is not show in page panel. Plesae help he. 

Hello, I have a problem with my master text pages. Or with auto flow. I am a pretty experienced indesign user, I know how to make a really sweet book cover, knows my way around type and kerning and all that. But I am pretty new to working with really long documents. And I start to feel like I really don't understand wth I am doing wrong, and I really hate that. So I am working with this 300 page book, footnotes, ca 25 images and some nifty design details that I'm happy with. But right now it is so slow! It takes forever to recalculate auto-flow of text if I just do any little change that will impact auto-flow.  After my last mental breakdown last week I figured out how to use "master text pages." Or at least I think so. But there's something weird with it.I notice this thing in the Pages window, but I don't get what it means. Some pages have a faint dotted line around the text boxes, and some don't. It must mean something. Have I done something wrong when I placed t

I have started using review links to share my work amongst team members. However, I've noticed that these get randomnly pulled and show up as a Error 404. Are there plans to make these review links permanently online like published documents or will there be another iteration of review links with better functionality released? Many thanks,Andrew

Liebe Community,wenn ich in Adobe Indesign ein Bild aktualisiere und dazu im der Registergruppe "Verknüpfungen" das "Kettensymbol" klicke, öffnet sich das Fenster "Erneut verknüpfen:"Dieses vergrößere ich dann immer manuell in dem ich mit der Maus die rechte untere Ecke zum untereren Bildschirmrand ziehe, um mehr Bilder in dem gewünschten Ordner zu sehen.Das muss ich allerdings jedes mal tun wenn ich ein Bild aktualisiere. Wie kann ich es erreichen, daß sie InDesign meine manuell angepasste Fenstergröße merkt? (Adobe InDesign 20.5 x64, Win 11 Pro)

I'm creating labels for a product and need to print the expiration date on them. Is it possible to use Text Variables to automatically imput the date 180 days/6 months in the future?

I recently update creative cloud apps and now can't access a file recently worked on. The error messages states to work on the file in a newer version even when updated to latest version?Converting file doesn't work. Please help.

This is it. I am scrapping my subscriptions to all Adobe products very soon. As soon as I find any alternative to Adobe's garbage software. Why would you hide the horizontal scroll bar in Indesign 2025? What madness would compel Adobe to be so hateful toward its customers? I have given up on Indesign, it's awful. Can anyone help me find the scroll bar so I can complete this week's tasks and start the search for alternative software?

Hi everyone, I'm using the last version of inDesign 2020 on a Windows 10 machine and until recently I hadn't any problems, but in the last couple of weeks I'm experiencing huge lags using the Text Tool every time that more than a single document is opened. I searched the old posts and tried to delete the preferences folder with the software closed, but it doesn't solve the problem for me. Any suggestions?

For as along as I've used InDesign (and I was an early adopter back in the days), I was able to copy/paste vector elements from Illustrator to InDesign. Since I got my new computer last week (M2 MacBook Pro, Sonoma 14.1, newest version of all CC apps), when I copy/paste from Illustrator to InDesign, it pastes elements as 'pasted graphics' (meaning pixels, not vectors), instead of groups of vectors, as it's done up until this point. How can I change this? Is this a "feature" (and I mean that ironically) of the newest round of CC apps? Is the newest version of macOS the culprit? Either way, I need to get back to be able to copy/paste vectors/paths between Ai and ID. Help?

Updated to 20.2 from 20.1Jsx scripts (good old extendscript) that call Applescripts via app.doScript crash with error -2753.Anyone experiencing the same issue? 

I have an issue in exporting PDF. from Indesign I created a button with buttons and forms, but the area of the button is taller than button, how fix it?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi everyone!  I'm still learning InDesign and I'm sure I'm missing something here. I'm working on a document that is an image heavy graphic novel, but there are also sections of text. I have smaller objects/icons that I have anchored properly, but I'm having a problem with my full page comic spreads. Since these images take up whole pages and are surrounded by other full page images there is no "text" to anchor it to.  I tried a work around by creating small empty text boxes near the images and they successfully anchored in my InDesign file, but when exported to epub, all the full page images are showing up at the end of the book. The smaller images and icons are staying in place.  How can I anchor images on a page with no text when they take up a whole page and follow other pages that only include images?  I know how to fix the problem in the code but if I can figure it out before exporting it would be a lot less time consuming.      <Title rename

como posso ultrapassar isso??

Recently, InDesign allowed two users to access and edit the same file located on the network drive. User A was actively working on a file, while User B was able to open and work on it. User A was subsequently kicked off the file, all edits and changes were overwritten, and the software crashed. According to User B, the file did not generate a lock file, which usually prevents other users from accessing the file and making changes. We store our working folders and InDesign files on a network drive. It is unclear if both users were using the same InDesign version. User A may have been using InDesign 2026, while User B was likely using the latest version of InDesign 2025. The issue occurred twice in two separate InDesign files and has not happened again.

Hi gang, I am very impressed with Print Bleed Generative AI in Adobe Illustrator 2026. Is that new feature also in InDesign?

Why in the new InDesign 2026 does the file you open up, not dock in the upper left corner anymore? It now opens UNDERNEATH your tools and pallets. THIS IS EXTREMLY ANNOYING! You have to physically move it each time you open a new file. But it's partially offscreen, so this make it hard to do. And when you save it, close it, and reopen... it's still DOES NOT DOCK. It STILL opens under your tools and pallets. I do not use the application frame and will not use it. I have to be able to access folders quickly on my desktop, so I need to see my part of my desktop. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS ADOBE. 

TL;DR: Clients can no longer highlight text in Share for Review (browser view). Only pin/shape options remain, making text amends invisible. Bug or feature removal?   Hi all, I’ve just come back from holiday and run into a nightmare with Share for Review in InDesign.   I shared a chapter of a book with a client using the built-in Share function. They did what they always do in the browser: highlight passages of text, add amends, pin comments, etc.   But this time the highlight tool is gone. The only options available are Place a Pin or Draw a Shape. As a result, all of my client’s highlighted amends are invisible to them... although the Review panel inside InDesign still recognises the highlights.   This makes it impossible for them to follow my replies or know which text I’m addressing.   Has the highlight feature been removed? I’ve noticed a UI change, so perhaps this is intentional? If so, why would such a critical function for book and text-heavy projects

Hello, I'm having some issues using this new feature, when I try to open a PDF, I'm greeted with the below message.I believe my company is blocking the Adobe server, anyone knows which URL Indesign is using? I can ask IT to whitelist that. Thanks 

   Could someone help me with this - I want to export the Indesign document as a Booklet (with pagination for printing) as I have to email as PDF to the printer.  The issue: no option dropdown to select PDF 

Hello there. Does someone know if it is possible to extract a text on a given page that is using specific XML Tag? Let's say that I have a business cards with name, phone number and an e-mail address. All of those elements may or may not be inside the same text box, but they are all tagged [with the colored brackets] with unique tag and are on a same page. The InDesign file may have multiple pages and I would like to target individual pages separately. Is it possible to extract the text itself if I know the name of the tag? The purpose of this is that I can create a template for data merge and generate qr-codes after the merge with a custom script that would use the tagged details to create a vCard.  Thanks for your time, David

After moving from Apple Intel to Apple Silicon InDesign now only exports one PDF at the time while all other exports are just "Queued". I am exporting many heavy files and on Intel Macs it handles four exports simultainously. On M1 it takes forever to export using one single CPU core while all the other CPU cores are idle. This is horrible. However: if i force InDesign to run in Rosetta it exports four PDFs at once againg, using ≈ 450% CPU as it should. But then again ...  I don't want to run everything in Rosetta. Same on Indesign v17 ("2022") and v18 ("2023").

Hello! I'm having trouble saving a file in InDesign. Only a black window opens and stays there. Do you know what could be happening?

Hi!  Peter Kehrel's script works fine but if I have a lots of sidenotes on the page they just overlap. Stack script doesn't work because there is too many of them. I want them to flow on the next page or any other solution that could work fine. Can anybody help with this issue?
