InDesign

Hello!Once in a while, the Find/Change dialog finds text which it can't jump to. The search filter excludes master pages and everything that is locked or hidden. Preflight doesn't show that there is overset text. I have conditional text, but searching with all conditional text shown, it would still find that ominous overset text and I cannot figure out where it is.Any clues? TIA. 

Hallo zusammen Gestern wollte ich wie gewohnt einen PDF-Export aus InDesign starten. Leider kam dabei aber bei gewissen Seiten .pdf heraus sondern ein .202. Daher meine Frage: Was ist ein Adobe Acrobat Document (.202) und wieso wird es erstellt? Ich selbst habe leider ad-hoc keine Lösung dafür gefunden. Vielen Dank für jede Hilfe und Idee. Beste GrüsseChristian

Hello guys,I need your help. I use Indesign CC in german. My smart guides don't work, no matter what I try. They are activated but I don't see any guidelines when I hover over an object. I want to add an ancor point at the intersection of two paths but whenever I click the new ancor point isn't placed at the intersection. I don't see any smart guides at all

why is this spacing happening when bolding?see video 

Hi we utilize InDesign Server to generat PDFs for our InDesign / InCopy workflow system. When a user checkes a InDesign file back into the system it generates a PDF for a web version of our workflow system.We have historically installed our font mangament software (Extensis) on the server and activate all the fonts. There are many fonts and generally it works, but we do run into issues were fonts are not picked up. Our support team restarts InDesign Server and sometimes deativates/activates fonts to get it to work again.I've suggested in the past to just put all the fonts in the InDesign Server fonts folder, but getting push back as they only want to utilize Extensis Connect for licensing issues etc. What is the officially supported recomendation for fonts on IDSThanks

Hello everyone, I am creating a form in InDesign and exporting it as an interactive form, I'm needing to embed a link for the user to attach their own file to (so there is no file destination path), can someone please help me? Thanks in advance, Barbara

Please can someone help?  In InDesign... the cursor does not immediately select an item until the mouse is moved away from the object. I think this may be a 'GPU Performance' issue but I cannot change the setting under Indesign > Preferences > GPU Performance > as it says 'Compatible GPU and Monitor not detected'. The Mac Mini is only a few months old and was working fine until a couple of days ago. I'm using an Apple display and have tried on an older monitor but this doesn't fix the issue. I have reset my InDesign preferences but this did nothing. Can anyone help please as it's driving me mad! 

Table of Content with Page number first. I am trying to get the page number before the Section Name in a TOC. What I would like to do is have the page numbers right align to a tab, then a tab between them so the Section Name align to a left tab. I can't figure out how to set up the styles to get it to work.  The page number is a Character style.In the TOC style I have the Page number and a Tab between the page number and the section. 

Hi adobe brain trust, For years I've been using the "show import options" check box on the 'Place' command to insert all pages of a PDF, or just a few select pages into empty frames. When I select either "All" or "Range" the dialog accepts that option - and in the past I've been able to place all the pages in rapid succession, in frames that have already been set up. Recently I am only able to place the first page in that range and then the command aborts. The command DOES still work, if I click anyone outside a frame.  I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue, or it's just me? Either way, does anyone have insight?   Thanks!   

I'm having a problem re-activating my copy of Adobe Indesign CS3 following a move to another PC; getting the "no connection" message.I had an on-line chat with support who directed me to a link whereby I could get a new serial no. and a new download of InDesign CS3.I was told to uninstall my current copy, then reinstall using my new download and new serial no., after which I could activate.I did all this but when it came to installing, there was no option to use my new serial no. Instead, on launching, it went straight to the activation screen telling me I now have four days left to activate!The telephone option doesn't work any more but I checked there and noted my old serial no. is still there which seems to indicate it is permanently stored somewhere in the registry?Any advice on how I can get round this problem, please?

For more than a week, InDesign has been stuck on startup, either on “Calling Late Initializers” or, at other times, “Starting Panels.” I have to force quit every time. I'm on the latest version, 20.4.1, running on a MacBook M3 Pro with macOS Sequoia 15.5.I’ve tried everything I could find online:Resetting preferences at startupResetting all fonts, removing fonts, removing any Adobe fontClean installs, older installs, reinstalling Creative Cloud, even using Adobe Cleaner to remove everythingStarting up in root user, starting up in another Mac user account, startup in safe modeEmptying every cache I could think ofRunning First Aid via Disk UtilityTried talking to adobe support 'We look forward to helping you during our open hours.'How is it possible that software essential to so many graphic designers simply stops working?I run a graphic design business, this has a huge impact on client work. I have print and magazine files that I can’t even open, let alone edit or render out. At the ver

Seit heute habe ichein kurioses Problem: Farbige Schriften werden bei Export in PDF (egal welche Version) plötzlich schwarz. Das ist sowohl bei 19.5 als auch bei ID 20.4.Ich arbeite auf einem Macbook Pro (M2) auf Ventura.Das Problem besteht, seit dem ich ID von 19.4 auf 19.5 geupdatet habe.Hat jemand irgendeine Idee, woran es liegen kann?Lösen kann ich es, in dem ich die Schriften in Pfade umwandle, was aber bei einem 60-Seiter unpraktisch ist.Es ist auch egal, ob zur Probe eine Schrift auf A4 oder Auszug aus dem 60-Seiter.

'm working on a multi-page brochure in InDesign and keep seeing the red plus sign indicating text overflow. I’ve tried adjusting the text box size, but it’s not solving the issue efficiently. What’s the best way to handle overset text without compromising layout or reducing font size too much?

A publisher-provided MSWord manuscript used auto-lettered and numbered paragraphs, but after importing and applying paragraph styles in InDesign then exporting to EPUB, spacing is wonky in the paragraphs with roman numerals and letters. Below is InDesign page then the same Sigil page. I tried revising CSS but not sure I'm choosing the correct code to change.   

I'm encountering an issue with Arabic diacritics in Adobe InDesign. While working on Arabic text, I noticed that one of the diacritics is not positioned correctly in InDesign, though it appears perfectly in Microsoft Word. I've tried adjusting the font and settings, but the problem persists only in InDesign.Has anyone faced a similar issue or knows how to resolve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Como puedo convertir en InDesign el negro de cutricomia a tinta plana, pues la imprenta me dice que el Negro registro es una cuatricomia.

how can I get the 1/3 to appear as the 1/2 which was entered as a glyph?? 

Most of the time when trying to save an exisiting file, InDesign instead tries to Save As. The file name appears greyed out and can't be selected, and when trying to save the document with the same name the following error appears.  This only seems to happen when saving to a network shared drive, as I cannot replicate the issue when saving the machine. We have checked file permissions and cannot see any issue there, there is also the fact it will sometimes save the file without this issue. I have noticed a .idlk file appears in the folder when it prompts to save as. InDesign 2025, MacOS 15.5  

Hi, I'm currently using the below indesign script to export named JPGS of each page. To work the script requires a text box with the filename on each page all linked by a common paragraph style. The script works perfectly to export JPGS, however I've been unable scucessfully adapt it to export EPS. Can anyone help? - if (app.documents.length != 0){var myDoc = app.activeDocument;MakeJPEGfile();} else {alert("Please open a document and try again.");}function myPS() {try {return myDoc.selection[0].appliedParagraphStyle;} catch (e) {alert("Place cursor to text with paragraph style for filenames");exit();}}function MakeJPEGfile() {app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.high;app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 300;app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.exportRange;app.findGrepPreferences = null;app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = myPS();var f = myDoc.findGrep();for (var myCounter = 0; myCounter < f.length; myCou

Hi all, I need to fetch an image file via network request and then insert that file into an inDesign document. I think I know how to do the insertion, but I'm having trouble establishing the file in the script. Due to the locked down nature of UXP file system access, I'm first opening (i.e. creating) a file and then attempting to write the image binary to it. It seems to complete without error, but the output file png is not opening an image and is considered an unsupported type by the operating system. Any tips would be appreciated! async function fetchJson(url) { return fetch(url) .then((response) => { return response; }); } var response = await fetchJson("http link to image src file"); const imageBlob = await response.blob() const fs = require("uxp").storage.localFileSystem; const fileToWrite = await fs.getFileForSaving("output.png"); fileToWrite.write(imageBlob.arrayBuffer());

Hello All, I need to anchor an object to a 2-column text frame so that the object appears to the left of the left column or to the right of the right column depending on which column the anchor is in? And if the anchor is moved to a different column when editing the text, the anchored object moves to the correct location. Is it possible to do this using a single object style? The image shows a sample layout that I want to get. Thanks!
