InDesign

Not just InDesign but any Adobe product really. Shows me the option to free trial or purchase, and to add insult to injury it reminds me that I already have access to the app when I try to navigate through those options despite....not being able to access them. Only posting here because apparently Adobe support (phone and web) doesn't work weekends...so here's my last ditch effort on seeing if anyone else has the same issue.  

Hello, i made an Indesign plugin for MacOS using the C++ SDK. The plugin works on CC 2024 and CC 2025 but crashes on the newly released CC 2026. The crash happens before the Startup() method of my derived IStartupShutdownService class is called.I attached the MacOS crash report. Are there any API breaking changes that could explain this behavior?  

why are my columns going backwards with my hebrew text?I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling indesign with the option 'englis ( תוך עברית)' and it's still not workin!!

Hello, we updated to Indesign 2026 and are having problems with the Poster Frame of Videos not showing. Using Indesign 2025 it works just fine. Also copiing the link with a working poster frame in 2025 to 2026 it shows just like normal. Using the same video, importing it to 2026 and selecting the same settings it does not show the thumbnail.Tested it through many computers, from a mac studio over a macbook pro to a windows. All have the same problem. It seems that the selection From current frame is not working.   This is giving us problems because while exporting to pdf the thumbnail does not show.

Hoping there is a quick fix for this!I have a headshot anchored inside a text box at the top left corner. When I apply text wrap to the image, the paragraph below wraps but the heading stays put. If I hit return before the heading it wraps but that's obviously not what I'm after as it's now too low.What am I missing?Thanks legends.

Bonjour,Je fais face à un problème récurrent lors de l'intégration d'images au format JPG dans mes mises en page InDesign.Le problème : Lorsque j'essaie d'importer un fichier JPG (même fraîchement reçu par email, copié sur notre serveur, puis importé directement dans InDesign), un message d'erreur s'affiche. Ce message indique que l'importation est impossible car le fichier serait déjà utilisé par une autre application ou un autre utilisateur.Contexte technique :Système d'exploitation : macOS Sequoia.Logiciel : Adobe InDesign (le problème persistait sur la version 20.5 et est toujours présent après la mise à jour vers la version 21.0).Malgré la mise à jour d'InDesign, le dysfonctionnement persiste.Pourriez-vous m'apporter votre aide pour résoudre ce problème ?Cordialement,

I am installing to a new computer. Launching app says I have reached my limit of 2. I only have one other, so the second has to be a computer I no longer have. When I go to the Adobe web page to see activated computers it says I have none registered. How can I resolve this?

Hi im using the last version of indesign but when i run it doesnt work how can i fix it?

My daughter is in a fashion merchandising program at university. She was using InDesign online and just told me her files are gone. Adobe Support is offline (we're in the Pacific time zone). She is new to the software, so I'm hoping that the system (she was using the online software, logged in with her account) auto-saves or backs up her work. Can anyone offer any ideas about this?Thanks,Ray

All document links for publishing online and reviwing are not loading or giving error message. The same problem to generate publish/review links.

I am using indesing cs6. my 4 page matter is hidden. i am mark in red color. Please solve this problem as soon as possible. 

Hello, so I was wondering if it was possible to create a document in Indesign and export it in such a way that only the text inside can be modified or cancelled. I have a friend, who has limited computer knowledge (she is 52 years old) that asked me to create a menu for her bar, but I want to make it so that in the output file she can modify her products as she wants without touching the images or the overall structure of the menu. That way she can independently change up the content as she likes without having to ask me every time to do it for her. Is it possible to create it? If so, how? Thank you.

Hi again, another problem which just came up on version 21.0x64, is that when  i draw a new line, it has a shadow effect

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?
