Questions

 I understand what they're there for, but Its really distracting when Im trying to layout a page. I know I can hide them when I hide my guides - but I need my guides to work with. Thank you.

I have cleared my font cache, I have restarted, i have reset my preferences, and yet still none of my glyphs for any fonts are applying to the characters in indesign. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,Getting an issue with indesign and not recognising the calibri system font installed. From what I can see, there’s a new version of calibri with a latest windows update. V6.26 > V6.27.   Myself and colleagues are effected, and this is spanning across a lot of our documents. Replacing the font does not fully solve the issue as any forms text fields will not update to the font box.  I’ve seen a similar post regarding this with the same issue on times new roman which is marked as resolved but it most certainly not.  FYI, installing calibri via adobe fonts does not work, we are getting a conflict likely due to it already being a system font. We also running the latest version of indesign. Any help on this?

I can’t find any way to show the content of a note. Anyone? 

There is a bug in InDesign 21.2 (and Windows 11 Enterprise): our latest files were corrupted and unavailable when we opened them this morning. (Error message and warning sign.).No actions were possible, screen freezesWe were all completely blocked, because the previous versions are unable to open our latest files.Thank’s   

I have an indesign document with a ton of different images, 1 on each page of the doc. I’ve updated a few of these links today and the newly linked updated images have this icon on the bottom left corner which I’ve never seen before. Any idea what this is or what it means? These are not text boxes, there are no primary text frames in this document and no threaded text.It is definitely attached to the linked image and nothing else, as it moves around with the image when I move the image.   

HelloI have received some CDs in an old Mac Version of QuarkXpress that I would like to bring into InDesign in Windows 11. I believe the files are 3.0 or earlier. No filename extensions as expected. I do not have any budget, This is for a history book for my local sailing club. So, MarkZware is unfortunately not an option. any suggestions, please?Thank you

What would be the fastest InDesign alt text workflow for over a thousand images in a document?  

Linking an image in InDesign 2026 and exporting it as a tagged PDF generates an unpleasant Tag structure.The structure now is:<Figure>--<Link>----OBJR--ContentTags inside of <Figure> will normally ignored by any assistive technology. So the Link will not be present to the end user.This is a change to InDesign 2025 and before, where the tagging was properly:< Link>--OBJR--<Figure>----Content This new behavior violates WCAG guidelines and makes the link tagging inaccessible to screen reader users.

I’m following up on an email I sent about a week ago regarding ongoing InDesign crashes.I’m having difficulty accessing the existing support threads you referenced previously. When I click any of the links in your emails, I’m redirected to a generic home page rather than the relevant discussion, which makes it impossible to review or continue the troubleshooting steps.Unfortunately, the core issue remains unresolved. InDesign is still crashing while editing text, even when using the latest pre-release versions. At this point the problem has caused me to miss a publishing deadline, which is extremely frustrating and has had a real impact on my work.I need this issue properly addressed as a matter of urgency. Could you please:Provide direct, working links to the relevant support threads, orEscalate this case so we can move toward a definitive fix rather than further testing cyclesI’m happy to provide logs, files, or any additional information required, but I do need a clear path forward.

In a book with multiple authors, the subtitle should appear to the left of each photo and the author's logo to the right.Is this possible with static labeling: ‘Option-Command-T’? 

Hey guys, I know this isn’t the Acrobat forum, but I know you and you know me so I figured I ask here as wellAcrobat X pro was running just fine until about 20 minutes ago. I downloaded, read, and cloed a PDF, and that was it. Next download wouldn’t open -- application failed to launch (or more likely quit before it finished loading).I uninstalled and reinstalled, and now I get about 30 seconds before it quits.Cross-posted at I suspect it’s trying to verify some license component -- InDesign did that a couple weeks ago -- but I can’t find anywhere to deal with it.Any ideas?

Every time I'm working in InDesign with a document with several pages (side-by-side), I use the quick key "space bar to show hand" to move about the page or to move over to the next page. When I release the space bar — the page keeps moving!! This is VERY annoying and I can't find any comments on how to stop this. There are times the page continues to several other pages and I have to do the "go-to" to get back where I was.Help please!!!!

Every new file I create in indesign 2026 is corruptI can work in the file, but can't save or export it.I took an hour on an Adobe support chat, they told me it was a known issue, a conflict with MS updates and they were in progress of patching it, meanwhile I should reset preferences (nope) and uninstall all MS updates (yep).So MS updates re-installed themselves - obviously - and I’m back where I was. My main business tool is unusable. Any ideas or solutions, or a timescale for the patch please?

I installed the latest update to version 21, and InDesign won't launch. It doesn't give any errors, but it won't start. It doesn't do anything at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. Version 20 works perfectly, even the beta version 20.6. I tried reinstalling it by deleting the preferences, but that didn't work. I tried reinstalling the Creative app and reinstalling InDesign, but that didn't work.Bridge does the same thing, but it gives me error OXC0000142. InDesign, on the other hand, doesn't have any errors. Old Bridge works, but the beta version doesn't I have windows 11 last updatedWhat can I do?Thanks a lotNicola

Hi everyone,After updating my MacBook M3 Pro to macOS Tahoe, Adobe InDesign has become completely unusable.I’ve tried both the newest InDesign update and an older version, but the issue persists with both.Documents open extremely slowly, most times if it’s a bigger file it doesn’t open at all, but once opened the file lags so much that I can’t work at all, typing, selecting objects, or moving anything is delayed or frozen. The whole program feels unresponsive.Before updating to macOS Tahoe, everything worked perfectly fine on the same machine.Has anyone else experienced this after updating to Tahoe? Is this a compatibility issue, or is there a known fix?I rely on InDesign for work, so this is quite urgent. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

I have just updated to the 2023 InDesign, and now suddently my documents are read-only and I cannot save the file, but have to make a save as version and give the document a new name everytime I have to save my work.Do you know why this is happening? And how to avoid this?

Does anyone know how to hide the "Application Bar" in InDesign CC 2020? It is useless to me and uses screen real estate. (This is not the Application Frame, which I have turned off. Nor is it the Control bar, which I have turned on.)

When I go to update a review link in InDesign, I keep getting this error message "there was an error updating the artifact". After that, the link does not work for most people. I am signed in to Adobe. Everything is up-to-date.... But this issue still persists. Can Adobe please fix this issue? It's emarassing when I go to send the review link to my leaders and they just get an error message when they try opening it.   <Title renamed by moderator>

Every reference I can find says you disconnect text frames by double-clicking one of their I/O ports.This produces baffling behavior.In my whole document, I have only two pages that are connected. If I double-click the connecting port on either page, content moves around but then the frames are reconnected. I have no idea what this thing is doing: 

I frequently create brochures, and at some point in the project without fail the share for review link stops allowing me to update content. The review links are an integral part of our workflow, and for my non-brochure work they are fine (although I have to update those less frequently), but with my brochure documents it will allow me to create a new link, but after that I can no longer publish any changes. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign, turned off and on countless times, ensured the document I’m updating is the only one open, packaged then opened the idml and re-saved the document to indd. It just doesn’t work, and it’s really frustrating to explain to our clients that their comments have gone because we had to make a new link (or they get confused, comment on an old link and we don’t make the updates). Any ideas?

I have a top of the line machine. i9-14900k, Radeon 9070XT, 64gb DDR5 RAM, and a fast NVME drive.InDesign lags more than any adobe program, because of the AI Generated Alt Text, which is enabled by default and I cannot disable it, as I have a pro plan.Every time I drag an image onto a file, it lags for a good 5 seconds while the AI generated text does its thing. I want to disable this feature fully. I do not use any AI in InDesign.Please recommend a way to permanently disable this feature, as it nearly doubles my working time on any document, lagging with every adjustment. If I have to edit something in the registry to do so, or block something on a firewall, so be it. Please release me from this torture

I need desperate (and fast) help. I have received templates for an agency, for use in production of our packaging material. It's a paper banderole. The back and front is the same size on all product, but the gusset (top and bottom) vary a great deal in size. So the agency have put all parts of the design on separate pages, so I will only have to change the page with the gusset on to the correct size before data merging inn all the info. But when exporting to PDF spread (5 parts, 5 pages), the InDesign pasteboard become a white part of the exported document, and the banderole is the wrong size. Can I exclude this in any way?The pink part here is the real pages, the white part is the pasteboard on the exported PDF.
