Questions

Hi there,  novice here trying to get a book file out of indesign as an epub. But when validating the file I receive this message, can anyone help me get out of the weeds: Obfuscated resource must be a Font Core Media Type (was declared as "application/x-font-ttf" in "OEBPS/content.opf").Look at line 5 in this file: META-INF/encryption.xml

Hallo, ich habe noch CS6 auf meinem Rechner installiert und kein Adobe-Abo. Ich würde gern für einen kommerziellen Auftrag die Schrift Myriad Pro nutzen. Ist dies erlaubt? Meines Wissens war diese Schrift bei der Creative Suite 6 damals dabei. Oder muss ich dafür eine extra Lizenz kaufen? Vielen Dank vorab. 

Hi there,   I've been experiencing an issue for quite some time now, and with each update, I hope it gets resolved. It could be something on my end, but this problem always seems to occur unexpectedly, without any changes to my settings.   The issue mainly arises when I return to InDesign after working on something else on my laptop. When I revisit my designs, everything is greyed out, including other open files. Although I can still select individual items, that’s all I can do (I’ve attached a screenshot with everything selected). The only way to fix it is to save, close the file, and reopen it, which is quite frustrating as it disrupts my workflow.   Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone have a solution?Thanks so much!   <Title renamed by MOD>

Can anyone help me with a GREP for making dashes consistent? I want all dashes to be sixth space, Em dash, sixth space:  

I work in book publishing so changing the size of a document is rarely done, but applying a master page with a different margin is a given to almost every project.Is there a way to still perform the function of Enable Layout Adjustment or is that gone to the wayside? For example, I could apply a master to a page and the objects adjacent to the margins would automatically snap to the size of the master. Items that were not touching the margins like ornaments or other text boxes would remain in place.Using the new Layout Adjustment feature, it does too much work and adjusts every object on the page, so it seems more problematic than helpful. Moreover, applying a different master to a page no longer automatically adjusts the boxes sizes to my margins.

When the Drop Cap to a paragrah starts with the letter "A" how do i adjust the tracking so the bottom of the "A" is not touching the other word? Basicly i want more space between the Drop Cap "A" and other words. Thoughts? 

I'm an editor/publisher working on a historically significant architecture book with 240 mostly B&W images requiring art book-quality reproduction. Photo editing and pre-press for others' work isn't my usual role. I'm completing one critical project to high standards, getting a scatter proof soon (16 pages on one 900x640mm sheet) from our European offset printer, with which we can also validate our RGB soft proofing workflow using PSO Coated v3.How about an approach where once we receive the scatter proof, we adjust our monitors to match the scatter proof closely in order to use it as a baseline reference for the rest of the job's images? Why or why not? We're not concerned about other projects. This is intended as a job-specific solution/workflow. The logic: Rather than generic calibration standards, this creates a job-specific calibration based on actual printing conditions. If our soft proofing is systematically different from press output, adjusting our monitor to match could g

Dear Adobe-Community,I am having repeated issues when trying to import PDF files into InDesign.The error message I receive is: “Trim box is missing or empty.”I have tried to edit the PDF and redefine the page frame in Acrobat, but this was not possible and the error message still appeared. As a workaround, I imported the file into Photoshop and exported it as a TIFF, which worked, but this is not a proper solution.This problem has occurred several times already, especially with PDF files that I did not create myself. Could you please advise what is causing this and how I can resolve it properly?Thank you very much in advance for your support.Best regards,Silke 

We're asking if the following workflow and division of labor is advisable, as it's our most readily available option: Can we execute all needed image aesthetics editing in RGB (mostly B&W architectural images) under our careful eye with our retoucher first, then send the image files to a color corrections color space conversion expert (RGB to CMYK, manual conversions/separations) to manually convert and translate that work accurately to CMYK for high-end offset printing? This is as opposed to having one vendor do it all. We'd place the manual color space convertor's work back into our ID doc and export to pdf using the printer's Fogra 51 profile.Is this division of labor between two parties (a retoucher, and then a color correctionist/separator) before printing not advisable? Ask any clarifying questions.

Using a frame to fit the content seems to only shrink the bottom.I just ran into this problem again today.Double-clicking the box on the right will definitely work.

Hay alguna manera de cambiar las etiquetas de indesign para que no aparezca la etiqueta Blanca, anularla para que no la escoja?Es una etiqueta sin sentido porque no se ve, salvo que tengas un fondo oscuro Gracias

I only want to shrink the bottom frame without affecting the cropped section on the right. sel.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT); sel.fit(FitOptions.FILL_PROPORTIONALLY);Neither seems to work. Is there a better solution?  

Hello, Sorry if it's not the right place to report what I found to be an issue.I'm working to create a book from a 212 pages PDF PowerPoint presentation. The import work flawlessy. However, not a single image boundy box has the Blue Square to anchor the image in a text. Here in attachment are 4 objects. I've collated 4 screen captures to demonstrate the issue. The bottom one is the one coming from the PDF import. See its bounding box !?!  The there others are tests I made to try understanding the situation.   If I group two PDF imported images together, the grouping becomes normal again. As a work around, I have to "reveal in Finder" the image object I want to anchor in a text, delete it an drop it again into my project. Then all is normal.Any help, advice ?Best regards,Thierry

Hello everyone. I installed InDesign v. 20.3.1 on macOS Sequoia 15.5, and until recently I also had version ID 19.5.4 installed. Ever since I uninstalled the older version (ID 19.5.4), macOS Quick Look with the spacebar stopped working. I tried reinstalling ID v. 20.3.1, but it didn’t fix the issue. Only after reinstalling version ID 19.5.4 did Quick Look start working again. Maybe this can be helpful to someone.P.S. It wasn’t easy to figure out.       <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi -- I am having a problem with adding pages to a document which has vertical running heads, in the outside margin of a spread. I've set this up in Master Pages, as a facing page spread. When I add a page, SOMETIMES the spread behaves and keeps the running head on the outside of the new configuration. Other times it puts the running head in the gutter, and I have to go through the whole book and correct it. I'm wondering if this has something to do with whether I've changed an element (i.e. unlocked it) that was on the original master spread, and once that was done, the element somehow disconnects from the master spread? And is there a way of telling the master spread that I want this element to still behave properly? Or maybe that's not the problem and there is another reason that it's happening.  Thanks so much for any insight into this! 

In Keyboard Shortcuts Settings > Object Editing:Ctrl+Alt+arrow keys (↑↓←→): The system defaults to “Snap to Edge(Pin to edge?),” but pressing them yields no response.How do I use this?

How can I change an existing document that is set up with right binding to left binding? My CC is set for english with left binding, but I have an indd file sent from a translation service bureau that was set for right binding and that's how it opens. The language does not read right to left so I need to fix this for press. I am not creating a new document, but need to change this document to print correctly. It's 72 pages and I really don't want to copy and paste into a new 

When I go to package a file I get the error "InDesign could not package the document... Cannot copy necessary linked file(s)". When I go across the hall and use a Mac on Sequoia 15.7, no error. I went into System Settings and gave InDesign and Adobe Full Disk Access and Files and Folders access but it didn't change anything. Is there a fix or workaround or maybe an update coming to address the issue?

Hello! I hope someone here can help me with my font issue.I’ve been having ongoing problems with various Adobe Fonts in InDesign.Several fonts no longer load, even though they have been marked as “active” or “added” in the Adobe Fonts program for ages, and had been working perfectly until recently.With some fonts, individual font styles are even missing and no longer displayed.In some cases, I was able to work around the issue by additionally installing the fonts via the Adobe Fonts app.However, even then I encountered the same issue: certain fonts within a font family couldn’t be loaded. They were missing both in the Fonts app and in InDesign.By repeatedly quitting InDesign and Adobe Creative Cloud, I was sometimes able to get a font to activate again.Another issue is that activated fonts hang forever in the background window saying "Loading fonts", and nothing happens.Under these circumstances, I can't generate a PDF either, since InDesign tries to load the missing fonts in the backg

I have 51 images. I want to create a book (to publish) where the image prints only on the right side and the left facing side is blank. This means a total of 102 pages (not counting cover).I want to include a text box below each photo.I want the same layout for each of the 50 pages.I want to create one centerfold image - the image printed across both left and right side pages.  How do I create a template to place 51 images only on the right side?How can I create a centerfold that breaks with this pattern? Thank you. (P.S. Spent 2 days searching for this answer.)

Issue has been going on for several months now, I've worked with IT at my company to exclude any other potential problems. It seems to have started with ID 20.1; I've never had any problems in the past.  Any files saved on a server cause indesign to run incredibly slow, and very laggy. Link size isn't the issue, as it happens with any file, regardless of if it even has any links. This also only seems to be in ID, I haven't noticed any problems with illustrator or photoshop.  All our working files are saved on this server, and we need to keep it that way because we work collaboratively, and others may need to access the files at any time.  This could be an issue with our servers, but I wanted to post/report in case there's an issue with indesign not getting along with network servers.
