Re: Old Script doesn't work with InDesign 2026.

If it USED to work, what version did it work with? Within the Scripts panel, you can make subfolders and park an older script in that subfolder. Name the subfolder this way: A 2025 script goes in a folder named Version 20.0 Scripts. A 2024 script goes in a folder named Version 19.0 Scripts. A 2023 script goes in a folder named Version 18.0 Scripts. A 2022 script goes in Version 17.0 Scripts. A 2021 script goes in Version 16.0 Scripts. And so on back to: a CS script goes in Version 3.0 Scripts. Put your older script in one of these custom folders, and probably it will work again.

C'est vraiment très gentil de votre part, Jean-Claude et Lukas. Merci !

Jimmy, Are you sure you are on the correct pane in the left side of the Home Screen? Notice that their are 5 other panes you might be clicked into, changing the Home Screen a lot. Letter Size Page is the very first thing shown. Here is a screenshot:

If, by Screen Reader, you mean Acrobat Pro, then go to Preferences > Reading > Read Out Loud Options > Words per minute

Nikole, To my knowledge, InDesign cannot publish an animated GIF. Have you experimented with an mp4 file for video motion?

Does anything happen if you log out of your CC App and then log back in and then start InDesign?

Mike Witherell · ‎Dec 04, 2025

During the 2025 version, I had a similar trouble with it constantly resetting to the Essentials workspace. I reset it 3 times, where one of the resets was the cache-delete technique that I call "Reset Method 3". https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/reset-indesign-preferences-and-other-troubleshooting/td-p/11990234 It started working stably for me again.

By way of comparison, are they able to make comments from the desktop access? IOW, is it broken in both device uses, or just smartphones?

Mike Witherell · ‎Dec 04, 2025

Hi BAS, You might experiment with a reset of InDesign. There are up to 4 ways to approach a reset, starting with the reset button in Preferences > General followed by a restart of InDesign. There are also other deeper ways to reset. Read about it in this compendium of troubleshooting.

Mike Witherell · ‎Dec 04, 2025

Teressa, A better answer about the same matter is here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-v21-not-starting-after-update-win-11/m-p/15564509 You do not have to go back to a previous version of InDesign. Don't uninstall the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables. Instead, repair them.

Although large-format printers will operate 4-8 ink cartridges (starting with CMYK, at least), their computer brain RIP is designed to receive and process RGB color information. It decides how to translate it to its physical cartridges of ink. So, if you feed it CMYK numbers, it likely will convert it to RGB numbers, and then RIP it to operate the CMYK cartridges. That is introducing a double-conversion that is effectively limiting the fullness of the color that could be.

Hi Alison, I set both InDesign and Bridge to "Run as Administrator" and I am still able to drag from Bridge to directly place into InDesign. I wonder why yours will not? I tested on Windows 11 including the latest patch as of 2025/12/04

Long, Sometimes NAS systems have subtle limitations compared to a dedicated server system. I think it is possible that your NAS server is the problem. Can you tell more about the specific NAS server system you are using?

Mike Witherell · ‎Dec 04, 2025

I don't know, but it is often the case, that interface problems are related to a need to reset the cache files of InDesign. Again, that is discussed here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/reset-indesign-preferences-and-other-troubleshooting/td-p/11990234

Mike Witherell · ‎Dec 04, 2025

Since it is a large-format inkjet printer, you should build RGB in InDesign, placing RGB images into InDesign, and export to an RGB PDF. It should be possible to download the same printer driver they use for production and tune all your color management to that printer driver icc profile.

Hey Ken, Are both monitors the same pixel-count size and set to the same multiplier number for scaling? Are you in Win11?

Mike Witherell · ‎Dec 02, 2025

If you are testing this in Acrobat Pro on the desktop, what are your Preferences > Security (Enhanced) settings?

Mike Witherell · ‎Dec 02, 2025

Hi Long, What version of InDesign? What OS version? Tell us more about your network system?

Mike Witherell · ‎Dec 02, 2025

Did patching to 21.0.2 help or change anything?

Mike Witherell · ‎Dec 02, 2025

Rose, Try checking on Preferences > Type > Smart Text Reflow turned ON; Limit to Primary Text Frames turned OFF Also, is the current page size different (smaller) than the page size defined in File > Document Setup?

Making and using a Character Style is the correct way to go, and faster in the long run. If using the Eyedropper tool, be aware of a couple of things: 1. If a graphic is overlapping the text, the Eyedropper tool may sense the proxy colors in the graphic. 2. Learn a bit more about what the Eyedropper tool can sample by double-clicking on it right in the toolbox. Stuff you don't need it to sample can be switched off according to your needs.

CC Libraries panel menu button > View Deleted Items... will take you to https://www.adobe.com/files/deleted relative to your login name

Katie, Have you tried resetting InDesign preferences (in up to 4 different ways)? Deleting 400 past online publications is not likely the way to a solution. Explore a thorough reset of InDesign with this compendium of troubleshooting.

Mike Witherell · ‎Dec 02, 2025

Based on your replies, it still seems possible that your file has a corrupt page or page element within the file. Here is a link to a compendium of troubleshooting, which includes strategies for how to find the page the corruption is on.

Mike Witherell · ‎Dec 02, 2025

It seems like there is a problem in a page of your document, then? Have you tried exporting to IDML and re-opening a new InDesign document from it so that you can test further?

Mike Witherell · ‎Dec 02, 2025

How many pages are you uploading for review? The bigger the file, the slower it will respond. Or is it erroring on a corrupt object within the pages?

Mike Witherell · ‎Nov 30, 2025

Try turning off rounded corners and it will begin to function again. If you wish to have the rounded offset of textwrap, make that as a separate object to get back to your design which shows a rounded push-off of textwrap.

Mike Witherell · ‎Nov 29, 2025

El Grecco, I'm glad that helped. I wish we didn't have to troubleshoot these programs as much as we do. For what its worth, I think Adobe Bridge is really useful at times. I wish they would continue to add industrial-strength file-renaming capabilities in it.

Mike Witherell · ‎Nov 29, 2025

Do you turn on "Show Import Options" while File > Placing the word docx. It might be turned off inside that seldom-seen dialog box.

Mike Witherell · ‎Nov 29, 2025

What version of InDesign are you running? What OS version? Problems with dialog boxes and interfaces within InDesign often suggests a suspicion on corrupt cache files. They can be reset. Read about the methods to reset, including a focus on cache files, in this compendium of reset advice.
