InDesign

Bonjour à tous, Je rencontre un problème depuis hier lors de l'ouverture de tous mes fichiers Adobe InDesign créés sous une version antérieure à la version 2026 (21.0), le message ci-dessous s'affiche : Lorsque je clique sur "Oui" pour la récupération de mes documents, cela coupe complètement InDesign. Et si j'essaie d'ouvrir mes fichiers sur l'ancienne version 2025, il me demande de convertir mon fichier car il n'est plus compatible (voir le message ci-dessous) :   Et lorsque j'effectue la conversion, je perds du contenu.  Si quelqu'un peut m'aider svp, merci beaucoup ! 

Bonjour,La boîte de dialogue "Appliquer un  gabarit aux pages..." du panneau Pages est extrêmement succincte, en particulier, le champ "Aux pages" ne possède comme choix préenregistré que "Toutes les pages". N'existe-t-il pas un moyen d'appliquer automatiquement un gabarit aux pages impaires (par exemple) sans devoir saisir manuellement la liste des pages 1,3,5,7,9, etc. ? Sur un document de 500 pages c'est un peu fastidieux !Merci d'avance pour toute aide utile 🙂

I have a very high contrast image, that looks great when I download it and look at it in preview, and even when placed in my CC libraries. However, whenever I place the image into InDesign, it loses the bright contrast that the original image contains. How do I fix this? I have looked over my specs and my display and color is set to RGB. Please help.  Attached is what it shows vs. what it SHOULD look like....

Following setup (all apps at most recent 2026 versions):indd with linked indd including vector ai files. when working cross platform (win and mac), the linked indd file needs to be opened and saved once in order for the vector files to export properly (otherwise they'll just export as white rectangles). once with the other platform again, the indd needs to be saved again for proper pdf export. 

I updated to InDesgin V20.0 on a Mac and no matter what tool I select, the cursor/mouse pointer arrow changes to a hand with index finger pointing (see image below). This is very confusing and hard to adapt to. I also can't tell what tool I'm using by looking at the pointer as it's always the hand icon. I'd like to switch it back to the former arrow pointer or the tool that's being used but can't figure out how. Anyone else having htis issue or figured out a workaround?    <Title renamed by MOD>

I'm trying to figure out how to get "clean" anchored objects when pasting - e.g. pasted a graphics frame & have it take up "paragraph space" just like a paragraph would.In the example below, on the left, I'm pasting into the default paragraph style, and centering it.However, when I paste into a box with text that has a Paragraph Style applied, the box no longer behaves as expected, and overlaps the content above rather than taking up the vertical space as it does on the left.So, I'm assuming it's a setting in the paragraph style that's causing this - any ideas?Back to experimenting...Thanks  

Buongiorno a tutti, vi chiedo aiuto perchè sto impazzendo!! lo scorso anno ho sviluppato un listino con InD 2020, diviso in 3 files. Ho creato circa 1000 pulsanti per rimandare a pagine diverse utilizzando la funzione "vai a destinazione" >> segnalibro.Quest'anno ho riaperto i 3 files con InD 2024 e tutti i collegamenti sono "saltati", se seleziono il pulsante mi da questo errore "Impossibile aprire il file "DBTmp1269-2007323006". È possibile che Adobe InDesign non supporti questo formato di file, che manchi un plug-in che lo supporti o che il file sia attualmente aperto in un'altra applicazione." Qualcuno può aiutarmi a ripristinare i collegamenti? Grazie

Hallo Leute,folgendes Problem: normalerweise benutze ich solche shortcuts wie Command + Shift + Ecke ziehen, um den Rahmen samt den Inhalt proportional zu verändern. Oder wenn ich ein Bild kopieren will, dann drücke ich immer option + Bild ziehen, um eine Kopie vom Bild zu haben. Allerdings funktioniert das bei mir nicht mehr. Wenn ich Bilder proportional skalieren will mit dem Mauszeiger, dann drück ich den Shortcut, aber das einzige was ich verändere ist der blaue Rahmen, als ob die Tasten keine funktion mehr hätten. Oder wenn ich Bild perfekt nach unten verschieben will, dann drück ich eig immer shift, und dann rastert das die Bilder eig immer ein, aber dauch das geht nicht. Kopieren funktioniert auch nicht, obwohl der doppelte Pfeil bei gedrückter option-taste angezeigt wird.  Natürlich kann ich auch anders skalieren, bewegen, kopieren wie auch immer... aber ich habe mir mit meinen Methoden das so angeeignet und arbeite so am schnellsten, das würde ich gerne beibehalten.&

Hi,I have been trying to connect the InDesign Server to ExtendScript Tool Kit CC and Extendscript VS Code extension. But once I try to connect Extendscript Toolkit or VSCode Extendsctipt plugin to Indesign server, It does not connect and give me errors saying that Server is not running.I did not run VSCode plugin and ESTK simultaneously (since they use same bridgetalk message queue)Also I have no particular reason to use both tools, for my testing. Just need to connect IDS to either one of them; however I prefer VS Code since ESTK is somewhat discontinuing Steps I followed are stated hereI started IDServer from these commands (Both of these commands worked for me and started the server)indesignserver -port 8470InDesignServer.com -port 8470 Then I tested the server by using "sampleclient" and a script file that I created; used following command.sampleclient -host localhost:8470 C:\Users\<myusername>\Downloads\test.jsxtest.jsx content are  $.writeln("Hello"

Hi  I have to produce 500+ certificates that are all personalised, and then save them as individual PDFs with unique filenames that are not connected or sequential.  Adding the data to the Indesign pages is covered, as is the PDF 'ing – it's the filename thing that I'm struggling with (it doesn't appear in the artwork either). All I can think of is to 'cut n paste' the file name from the master.xls one by one. I'm hoping there is some kind of script? Any ideas welcomed on making this process more streamlined or efficient? thx

Hii Team, We are using adobe extendScript to get the json data by parsing indesign file. We are trying to implement some logic based on exact text coordinates, we tried several options using font size , line height , offsets , but we are unable to get exact starting point of the text for each line in a textframe .[P.S. - we are getting text frames coordinates, we need the coords for actual text inside].One more consideration is the text alignment , both vertically and horizontally. Currently this is what we have implemented yet, but it is not working as expected, (mostly for Y -coordinate) function getXCoordinateForText(paragraph, bounds) { var frameLeft = bounds[1]; // X position of the left edge of the frame var frameRight = bounds[3]; // X position of the right edge of the frame var frameCenter = (frameLeft + frameRight) / 2; // Center of the frame // Get text properties var startX = paragraph.horizontalOffset; var endX = paragraph.horizontalOffset; try { endX = para

Relink to folder doesn't work for filenames with accents (czech language in my case), it just doesn't find such files, even they are present. But relinking every single file separately (very annoying) works.I have reported this bug 6 years ago and it is still not fixed.I suspepect some issue with win and mac file names encoding that InD can't handle. But in case of relinking single file, there is no problem, so I'm not sure.Indesign just updated to InD 2026 on Win 11.

I am unsure if I am doing something wrong, but why is exporting a booklet to a printable PDF the hardest thing to figure out? The only way I am aware of is saving the file as post script for distiller and then going from there. 90% of the times, it doesnt get exported to distiller correctly, and its just a constant battle of getting the file exported correctly. Why is this not just a standard export at this point? We have the capability to print as a booklet, so why cant I just save it as a PDF with bleed and crop marks, and not go through distiller? If I am missing something please, let me know. Thanks!

Hi,since the flex layout is a brand new feature in InDesign, it is difficult for me to find anything about using scripts with it.This page states that "flex layout is scriptable", however it links to InDesign ExtendScript API documentation, where I could not find even a mention of this flex layout (I believe it is just a question of few weeks).Still - could any of you give me an advice, how to change content of a text frame, that is connected into a flex-layout object?I have got my script working with simple (normal) text frames, now the flex-layout frames are ignored. var tfs = page.textFrames; var i = tfs.length; while(i--) { if (tfs[i].contents == "search_string") { tfs[i].contents = "replace_string"; } }  Thank you very much for your hints.Honza

Anyone else having issue with InDesign review links not working today? I have sent out a few and reviewers are getting this message. Other programs seem to be working fine. 

I am always excited when a new release of InDesign comes out. I have no pressing deadlines so I can explore to my heart's content. The first thing I noticed Is that the icons for InDesign on my Windows 11 Taskbar and desktop were blank. I threw them in the Recycle Bin. and then dragged the InDesign 2026/21.0 icon from the Start Menu to the desktop. I then renamed the desktop icon from "Adobe InDesign 2026" which is more information than I need to "InDesign" as I have done with many different versions when updated. Then, I started InDesign and noted that the Taskbar icon, though it showed InDesign as the program when I hovered the mouse over it, it was entirely blank: a blank area on my Taskbar. It worked to start InDesign, so I thought I would go with the flow and leave it that way. I then spent a considerable amount of time to get my Windows 11 TaskBar Jumplist for InDesign configured the way I like it for easy access to my ongoing big project: InDesign > File > Open &

I have been data merging images and text for over two years at my job for a deliverable that we do a few times a year with no issues. Our Adobe logins recently changed where we no longer have Adobe Enterprise and got our licenses through TechSoup as we are a nonprofit. I used the same login (email) and use a different profile to access my Adobe license for all programs. My colleagues have done the same. When I try to data merge now, it does not work, whereas it did before. It only merges the text, and not images. It gives me the message that says: "The data source references one or more missing images. The missing images cannot be previewed or merged. At the time you create a merged document, you can choose to generate a list of all missing images." I am on Mac and have checked the platform style path and am using the right file path/source (for my computer username and links). No matter what I do it does not work for merging images when it worked over a month ago on the old

Last night it was working fine, and this morning it keeps crashing. It has been updated to the latest version, and I am working on on Tahoe. I really need a workaround as I have to deliver a file to a client today. Anyone can help?

I'm new to InDesign, and I've been using it for the past few months to just copy and paste info into our weekly church bulletin that was created several years ago.  Is there a way to transform the bulletin that I work with so that I can merge data weekly from some type of form like a Google doc? I want to import things like hymn numbers, sermon titles, scriptures, names, etc, without continually copying and pasting into a new document each week.  I only know the basics of InDesign and want to keep the look of what we already have on hand. It's stylized with our branding (fonts, logo, etc), and I don't want to change the actual format of it. I'm attaching our current bulletin so you can see what I'm referencing.   Thanks in advance. 

I have all the settings turned on to generate CSS, and even provided specific class names for a bunch of styles in my document. In the files generated by HTML export, they aren't defined. They're not in idGeneratedStyles.css. The names only appear in the HTML files themselves, as:<p class="Step-A ParaOverride-1"><p class="Step-1 ParaOverride-1"> I see no definition of attributes anywhere, any of the stuff you see in the Export Tagging dialog. And heaven forbid this text even be selectable in the dialog. What gives? 

I noticed that after downloading the InDesign 2026 app, it removed the extensions section out of the Window panel. Has this been moved? It is critical for my company to have access to this panel. This extension isn't available on Exchange. 

I'm writing a UXP plug-in to export styles. But several routines don't work, because comparisons with published values for various options in the API never match. I don't know why. If you look at the valid values for numbering style documented here: https://developer.adobe.com/indesign/dom/api/n/NumberingStyle/ I'm wondering why the following code always falls through (even when a call to toString on the value in question shows that it does indeed match a numbered style). This takes a paragraph style and then returns my own value to use for later CSS generation: function paragraphListStyle(paraStyle){// All the return values here must match the strings in writeStylesheetTop().const listType = paraStyle.bulletsAndNumberingListType;switch(listType){case myInDesign.ListType.BULLET_LIST:return ListStyles.BULLET;case myInDesign.ListType.NUMBERED_LIST:if (paraStyle.numberingFormat === myInDesign.NumberingStyle.UPPER_LETTERS){return ListStyles.UPPER_ALPHA;}else if (paraStyle.nu

I have a paragraph style applied to a line which has zero leading and 0.1 points (see image below where there is a pink highlight). But it is still pushing the next paragraph down by one baseline.I don't want it to push the next line down.  

What's the point of designing text fields in ID when the exported text fields made into form elelments in Acrobat have no relation to the type size created in ID? The type is often suddenly too big for Acrobat and the fields or type sizes have to be completely redesigned  . . . WTF!

What could be causing the drink name to not wrap to the anchored object?You can see in the screen shot that the text wrap should be effecting it.
