InDesign

When I use InDesign and other adobe programs I like it when I click on <Z> for zoom and just click and drag to zoom in/out. Sometimes when I am working in a program, it almost like the program forgets how this function work... It changes the mechanism, so that when I zoom I select an area, and it zooms in to fit the screen to that area. I don't really like this way of zooming. Is there any way to fix this when I am working in a project? why is this happening?Thanks

Can I use InDesign on both a Mac and a PC to open a document seamlessly? I'm the author of a very long, complex book (215 pages, full color, 625 MB when open). I've been a PC user all my life, but InDesign has never really behaved on any PC I've ever used, even a modern one (Ryzen-7, 128 GB, 4TB SSD). It crashes often, damages the file's contents in the process and so on. I would like to try using a Mac for production of this work, but having never used a Mac in my life other than opening my wife's Macbook Pro, I'm a bit hesitant. I'm of the impression that the document should open cleanly on either platform, but what about file hierarchies? My document is stored in Dropbox. Will Indesign be able to see the correct paths to the document on both a Mac's file system and the PC's? I want to be able to open it on either computer, depending on where I'm working, and have the document load without error and save without problems, then when I'm on the other computer (not at the same

Lately, when I open an InDesign document, some of the images either disappear or appear in scrambled form. I have to relink them. Sometimes they appear briefly then disappear. Most of them have been in this document with problems for years. Just yesterday, I Exported Book For Print, so all the images are in the Links Folder. What can I do?   <Title renamed by moderator>

I often edit books with variable formatting in InDesign, and I'm missing one feature that would be very useful: Story Style. Publishers typically want paragraph first lines indented by a variable amount, but they ask me not to indent the first paragraph of each section. Currently, I have to do this manually.Are the developers considering this feature for future updates?

On some pages running header current style not working and previous header name coming

I have created an interactive PDF of a brochure in InDesign with email links, links to YouTube videos and links to phone numbers.  They work when I open the PDF on my laptop. However, when I open them in my mobile, no links work. I have an IOS phone and my colleague has tried opening the same PDF on his Android phone and they don't work on that either.  We've also tried removing the links from InDesign creating links in Acrobat, but the same happens - they open on a laptop but not on a mobile.  This brochure we expect will be mostly used on mobile as it's for people in hospital, so it's essential to get the links working.  Please can you help! Many thanks

I've been having this issue with unwanted hyphens for at least a couple years.They appear when copy/pasting from Word, but not every time or even half the time.They appear even when hyphenation is turned off in InDesign.They appear where a hyphen would properly occur if the word were split.They don't correspond to any breaks in the Word document.If I paste text and the hyphens appear, I have to re-copy and re-paste the same text and to get rid of the hyphens.  

Is anyone else having trouble with the "Share for Review" function? I have been recieving edits on a file for over two months now, and every single time I "Update Content" on the review link, InDesign crashes. It does save my work and eventually, my file updates on the link, but it's super frustrating. My file is only 20mb, and I have tons of cloud storage left. Does anyone have a fix? 

I have a text document imported into InDesign in which one imported hyperlink remains red in the hyperlink panel, indicates "URL not available," and will not open the link. There are several other imported links that work properly. I can open Edit Hyperlink in the Hyperlink Panel and copy the link, paste it into my web browser, and it will open the link. I can also insert the link into a Word document and it will work. I have tried deleting the link from the Hperlink Panel and recreating it, both by typing it in and by copying and pasting the address from the web browser, when it opens the link. I have even tried inserting the link as the sole content of a Word document, then placing that word document into InDesign; that still only produces the "URL not available" message.From the other similar posts, my guess is that this is some sort of firewall or login requirement by the website I am trying to link to, but I am curious as to why only InDesign seems to encounter it? And I woul

I am using Creative Cloud 2025 on Windows 11. I do most of the graphic design, typesetting, and layout for print for my org. Once a book or project is published, I need to send a pdf/a to be archived.Is there an export to pdf setting from InDesign that will allow me to convert to PDF/A in Acrobat without first going into Standards and then using Preflight to finally convert to PDF/A?

Hi, everyone. This is the first time I've run into this. Basically, I have a client that is wanting to switch to a specific blue. When I went into our brand guide InDesign document and entered the new blue (45 /128 / 252), I get the Gamut Warning (fine, I've seen that before) but for some reason the the blue was being converted to this drab CMYK friendly color even though the RGB reflects correctly in the swatch.Here's the kicker though. There is another shape in the document that is reflecting the correct blue from that same swatch. So some of the pages the shape appears washed out (converted), the other pages the blue looks correct. I tried dragging the shape with the 'correct' blue to one of the pages with the converted blue and it converts itself! But they are using the same layout page. So, then, I tried duplicating the page that was reflecting the 'correct' blue and the shapes look fine. Absolutely no clue what is going on.

Hello Adobe Community, My name is Giampaolo Vimercati and I’m reaching out for help regarding a license issue with Adobe InDesign CS6. I own a legitimate perpetual license for Adobe InDesign CS6 (version 8.0, International English for Windows). The software is currently installed and working perfectly on my PC Desktop. Until recently, it was also installed and activated on my Surface Book 2, but due to a technical issue, I had to perform a clean reinstallation of Windows 11 (version 25H2). After reinstalling the OS, I attempted to reinstall InDesign CS6 on the Surface Book, but I received the following error message:"The serial number you entered has been revoked. This product cannot be licensed. Please contact Customer Support." I contacted Adobe Italy support, but they informed me they are unable to assist with legacy product activations.I also tried emailing abuse@adobe.com and support@adobe.com, but received either an automated response or a delivery failure. I understand CS6 is a

Bonjour,  Problème avec Indesign, je ne comprend pas je n'arrive pas à ouvrir l'application. Dès que je clique dessus l'application s'ouvre et se ferme immédiatement. Je n'ai pas changer d'ordinateur. 

I'm sure to have already asked this but I cannot find it anywhere, nor on search engines. In a music-related text, I need to show the octave of a note with a subscript digit. So, the middle-C on the piano would be C3 with 3 being subscripted. I am trying this GREP but it's not working:(?<=[A-G])\d This should be positive lookbehind for uppercase letters A to G, then applying the character style to the single digit following it.  Any idea why this may not be working? Thank you!

Auf meinem alten Rechner hatte ich CS5 installiert. Nach Kauf eines neuen Rechner habe ich CS5 erneut installiert. Allerdings hatte ich vergessen vorher auf dem alten Rechner CS5 zu deaktivieren. Dies ist nun geschehen. Nur bekomme ich bei der Aktivierung eine Meldung: wegen Zeitüberschreitung kann die Aktivierung nicht erfolgen. Besteht die Möglichkeit die Serien-Nr wieder freizuschalten?

I have found that if I use try to use the eye dropper feature in the color picker in InDesign that InDesign freezes. It is as if there is a dialog box is open but is not visible on screen. My only option has been to force quit. I have repeated this on multiple documents. I just thought Adobe should know.I'm working in the lastest Mac OS on an Intel 16" MacBook Pro. 

I have a font issue that is only a problem when the file is printed to PDF. I have confirmed the fonts are correct in the InDesign file, however when the file is printed to PDF, the fonts do not display correctly. The font we are having an issue with is Helvetica Neue LT Com. The font issue is within some but not all .ai figures in a document. I have confirmed this is not a result of different PDF viewers. I have checked in multiple PDF viewers and the font appears incorrect in all PDF viewers.  Please let me know if you have any solutions or thoughts on what this issue could be.

Do you have experience with  InDesign freezes in last few weeks? Two steps, and I need to shut down InDesign through    task manager... 

Sometimes when I place an Illustrator artwork into InDesign, it arbitrarily ignores certain elements of the design.The only solution is to duplicate the artboard and hope it picks up that one. This can take 10-15 attempts.This bug slows the workflow down a lot — anyone got a solution?

I have a project with mixed fonts/symbols on the same line, and the distance the line "descends" is based on some font settings, I assume.In this example, you can see the differences in spacing above the Ws:When the word "Wish" is removed, the W of "When" is flush against the top of the text box (solid magenta line). When adding other fonts/symbols onto a line, as you see here, I'd like the W in When to remain at the top of the text box (and, in this case, the W in Wish would ascend above it).The only thing I found so far in googling for that space is "Line Height," but I don't think that's it.Is there a way to adjust this on a Character-Style level in InDesign?I'd rather avoid baseline-shifing my main body text.Any help appreciated! 

I am using the InDesign web version to create pages for the CANVAS course management system.  I have embedded videos, so I cannot convert this to a pdf or use InDesign's print version.  I need the following:1) to have the webpage load true to size as a default (one page, for instance, is 8.5" x 40", and it is loading tiny, so students have to enlarge it).2) to be able to label images for ADA compliance in the web version for a screen reader.3) to have the entire web document within InDesign ADA compliant for a screenreader How do I do this?  This looks like it is being rasterized for the web version of InDesign.  College students may need to use a screen reader, so this needs to be fixed.Please help!  :0) Best,MDR

No me deja abrir mi archivo idml, me aparece un error diciendo no se puede abrir el archivo. Adone indesign no reconoce el formato o falta un plugin, lo hice con el programa modelo 2021 y luego lo intente abrir con el modelo 2024 pero me aparece el mismo error. Necesito Ayuda 

Ho scaricato la prova gratuita di 7 giorni di Adobe InDesign sul mio portatile e stavo cercando di scaricarla anche sul mio fisso. Tuttavia, quando provo a scaricarla ricevo il messaggio che mi dice che ho già attivato la prova gratuita su un altro dispositivo.Trovo questa situazione frustrante! Considerando che sono già abbonata a Photoshop e al pacchetto fotografia su due dispositivi.Mi sembra poco coerente che la prova gratuita di un singolo prodotto venga limitata in questo modo, nonostante io abbia già accesso ad altri programmi nel mio account.Mi piacerebbe poter scaricare e provare InDesign su entrambi i dispositivi . C’è qualche possibilità di risolvere questo problema o di ottenere un’altra prova gratuita?

Why did my image turn grey all of the sudden??
