Questions

Hello,  This is my 2nd day this week posting a very frustrating bug on InDesign and I consider this one far worse. In trying to figure out a bug with workspaces on Monday, I exported my current settings, reset InDesign preferences, and imported my settings back in.  I did not check the settings. I should have. The generate AI Alt-text box had been rechecked, and I had NEVER manually done that. I have recreated this issue more than 5+ in a row by: Resetting my InDesign preferences to the default and restarting. Reopening InDesign, checking off both Generative AI boxes in preferences Export those settings, reset preferences back to default on reset, and reopen InDesign When you reopen InDesign and import your preferences (they should be default with both Gen-AI boxes UNCHECKED), the “Auto-generate Alt Text when placing images” WILL BE TURNED ON EVERY TIME WITHOUT FAIL.I have a screen recording of this process working and showing that the boxes WILL check themselves upon importing setting

MacBook Pro M2 Max Chip 64GB memory, Sonoma, INDD v20.4.1Packaging files stops. The status indicator keeps circling and packaging process does not seem to finish. This began yesterday and has happened when attempting to package different files. The “Saving the Document” status bar is at ~10%. When I look at the background tasks it indicates the exporting the file is at 90 or 95% and exporting the PDF is queued. When I go to “Force Quit” applications sometimes InDesign looks fine, other times it is “not responding. Cancelling doesn’t work. I get impatient after a few minutes and end up force quitting INDD.When I look to see where I put the packaged folder. It’s there and everything is in the folder with the exception of the IDML file, sometimes the PDF isn’t there either. I've tried many times in the last 18 hours.OK – so then I try packaging without the IDML file and INDD locks up. Package Document status bar at the ~20% – status indicator (blue circle thingy) not visible in tool bar.

Hi all - As noted, 100% black in ID turns into 91% in a PDF.This appears to be similar to this post - however, I haven’t found something that works, and am not sure what’s going on.Have there been any updates to the process here? Any troubleshooting tips?Maybe export to a different profile?[edit] Gray Gamma 2.2 seems to be ok - not sure why 100% black would be changing in other export profiles though… ?FWIW - we’re printing in black only. There’s an RGB image with an almost-black that’s converting properly. (I didn’t receive a profile...)thanks!

I have basic InDesign skills but nothing advanced. I'm creating a document and whenever I type an apostrophe (') InDesign displays it as a tiny greater than symbol. It does this no matter what font I'm using. I can type the same text in Illustrator and it looks fine. If I then paste it into InDesign it is correct. But if I type it directly into InDesign it never displays as an apostrophe. I've tried checking my character and paragraph settings and tried multiple fonts to no avail. Any guidance would be much appreciated!

When I publish online, the images in the document all turn dull in colour and contrast, even though the graphics remain the correct colour.All my images are sRGB, I’m publishing in JPEG format, I’ve tried adding a transparent rectangle on each page as someone suggested. Colour settings below.What else can I do to fix this?  

Hej. Jag har försökt under flera månader, eller enstaka tillfällen under några månader att installera programmet. Det går inte. Det öppnas flera sidor “du är inloggad, stäng detta fönstret” Brandväggen är av medans jag hämtar och installerar. 

I have set the default language in my Creative Cloud to English but my InDesign app interface keeps randomly changing the language to my native language. The only, incredibly tiresome solution is to uninstall and the re-install InDesign and HOPE that the interface in is english. Sometimes it is and stays that way maybe even months, but then one morning I open my InDesign and the interface is in my native language again. All other Adobe apps are in English and InDesign is the only app that keeps doing this at random intervals.This is such a waste of time!!!

Depuis la mise à jour d’indesign hier, lorsque je prend une couleur avec l’outil pipette dans un import Ai CMJN, l’outil me crée une valeur RVB dans le nuancier. Le fichier AI est bien en CMJN, l’export en PDFX se fait bien en CMJN. 

Bonjour, J’essaie, en vain, d’exporter en PDF, un fichier de 137 pages, constitués essentiellement de liens InDesign. Lorsque je tente d’exporter l’ensemble du document, le processus n’aboutit pas en m’indiquant à chaque tentative un problème sur telle ou telle page (le document ne contient aucune erreur, les liens indesign non plus).Lorsque je tente d’exporter le document bouts par bouts, j’arrive à avoir des PDF mais les images sont mal imprimées : Avez-vous une idée d’où peut venir le (ou les) problème(s) ?Merci beaucoup pour votre aide ! 

I have been doing some searching over the past few days and finally discovered that the text wrap on my objects are all set to a defaut of “jump object.” I would like all text wrap options to be turned off unless otherwise specified. How do I ensure that text wrap is turned off as a default? For existing elements, is there anyway to globally turn this setting off throughout my document?Object with the “jump object” setting specified​​​​​​Thanks! 

I can see the entries when I click on the index, but when I generate the index I get nothing that I can use.

Hi, I am wrestling with the world’s most frustrating InDesign file. Whenever I drag an image near text, or rearrange text boxes on the page, the text disappears. Text over graphics (no styles applied).. it acts like I have all these words in the box that it does not have room for but when I extend the box the words are small and don’t have any spaces here is an example of what a current page looks like. I am trying to place the keymap next to the text in the subsequent image  here you can see that the word “source” disappears when I tried to drag the group of objects next to it In addition, whenever I start over and create a new file in attempts to clear any weird paragraph or object styles, the text box starts aligned to the bottom even though the text frame options are aligned to the top… what the heck is going on here?   

InDesign 21.5 — Data Merge corrupts accented characters when running InlineMerge.jsxbinAfter updating to InDesign 21.5, Data Merge no longer handles accented characters correctly when I run my InlineMerge JSXBIN script.For example:Sección becomes Secci—nDescripción_ES becomes Descripci—n_ESThe problem affects both the Data Merge field names and the merged text.Steps to reproduce:Create a new InDesign document. Load a tab-delimited TXT file as a Data Merge source. The field names containing accented characters display correctly. Run the attached/linked inlineMerge.jsxbin script. Accented characters are replaced by incorrect characters, e.g. ó becomes —.Important: The exact same TXT file and the exact same script work correctly in the previous version of InDesign.I rolled back to the previous version and the problem immediately disappeared.This appears to be a regression in InDesign 21.5 affecting Data Merge and/or the scripting API used by the script.OS: macOSInDesign: 21.5Data source: 

When i open InDesign the app crashes. I’m unable to even open the app. I have re-installed the app, which didn’t solve the issue. I also tried installing other update versions, which also didn’t solve the issue. All my other Creative Cloud apps are up to date. What to do now?

Bonjour, j’ai l’impression d’avoir tout essayé, ceci est mon ultime recours pour comprendre ce qui se passe et peut-être à l’avenir éviter ce problème de façon plus optimisée.Mais pour l’instant, je suis censé rendre ce document demain pour l’imprimeur.Je travaille depuis environ 2 mois sur un document d’environ 800 pages, et aujourd’hui, sans rien changer à ma façon de travailler ou même les documents que je reçois, Indesign n’importe pas correctement le texte que j’importe, il supprime certains (pas tous) sauts de ligne qu’il y a initialement dans le texte.Ils ont beau être supprimés de manière aléatoire, il ne semble pas que ça soit réellement le cas car ce sont toujours les mêmes sauts de lignes qui sont supprimés peu importe à quel point je reproduis la manip.Ma façon de travailler est simple : Je reçois des nouveaux textes régulièrement (sous format Pages sur Mac), je fais un copier-coller depuis celui-ci (car impossible d’importer un format page avec cmd+d, il est grisé.

My Table of Contents generated in Indesign is not being read in the Read Out Loud function in Acrobat. The tagging structure within Acrobat all looks fine (<TOC>, <TOCI> etc.) and works when I disable the new Acrobat feature. This issue also applies to PDFs created previously, which again worked fine on the old version of Acrobat.I have also noticed other elements not being read also, as in alt text applied to inline figures and interactive forms.Any information at all would be helpful as I know my client will raise this issue.

I’m experiencing problems when importing images (TIFF, PNG) and then reducing their size. Despite using the reduced display quality, InDesign crashes several times in a row. There are also frequent slowdowns, and I’m working directly from the computer’s internal hard drive.

InDesign will not work on my Macbook but works ok on my imac. Illustrator and Photoshop work fine. InDesign won't load. I've deleted the preferences.

I'm experiencing what appears to be a bug in InDesign for Windows (InDesign 21.4.1).After updating to InDesign 21.x, I can no longer drag selected text to another position.Here's what I've confirmed: Object frames can be dragged normally. Only text drag-and-drop is affected. This happens in multiple documents, including newly created ones. Resetting Preferences did not fix the issue. The most interesting part is that, on Master Pages, drag-and-drop works on the right-hand page, but does not work on the left-hand page. Another Japanese user reported exactly the same issue on the Adobe Community forum several months ago, and the discussion remains unresolved. Is this a known bug? Can anyone reproduce this issue on Windows?The issue started after updating to InDesign 21.x. After downgrading to InDesign 19.x, text drag-and-drop works normally again.I also contacted Adobe Support by phone, but the issue could not be resolved. *Here's the Japanese thread describing the same issue. 

Bonjour Adobe,Je souhaite signaler un problème que nous avons rencontré avec InDesign 25 concernant la Fusion de données.Depuis la mise à jour, il est impossible de charger une source de données (.txt). Dès la sélection du fichier, InDesign affiche le message :« La source de données sélectionnée contient un ou plusieurs noms de champs vides. »Après de nombreux tests, nous pouvons confirmer que le problème ne vient pas des fichiers de données :test avec plusieurs fichiers .txt, y compris un fichier minimal (nom / Test) ; test avec plusieurs documents InDesign ; réinitialisation des préférences ; réinstallation complète d'InDesign.Nous avons également comparé plusieurs configurations :InDesign 25 : le problème est reproductible. Version précédente d'InDesign : les mêmes fichiers fonctionnent immédiatement. Tests réalisés sur Windows et macOS, avec le même constat.La seule solution que nous avons trouvée est de revenir à la version précédente d'InDesign.Pouvez-vous vérifier s'il s'agit d'

Bonjour impossible de faire lam ise à jour, Echec a chaque essai…. avez vous le meme porbleme ou une solution? 

Hola, tengo un problema a ver si alguien me puede ayudar. Estoy haciendo un libro de matemáticas, utilizo el editor de fórmulas de indd. Cuando empaqueto las fórmulas quedan como .svg, como es para impresión, debería poder obtener un .tif, o un .eps...  cuando exporto a pdf, aunque incruste perfil CMYK, la fórmula se exporta en RGB, por lo que el pdf sale con error. He intentado cambiar la extensión... no sé cómo solucionarlo y no encuentro en foros una solución. ¿alguien sabe cómo hacerlo? 

Question: Since the spacing of the last line has not changed, special handling is needed. Do I feel a bit clumsy in my current way of thinking?Do you have a simpler science?Target: Current text box.Status: cursor in line (not selected)Original Leading: 20.8 points.Operation result: Set the line spacing in the current text box to 19.35;Exception: The last line spacing is still 20.8 (special handling required)/** @Function Add a line and apply new line spacing**/var d = app.activeDocument;var item = d.selection[0];//Insert point to select the entire text boxif (item.constructor.name == "InsertionPoint" && item.parent.constructor.name == "Story") { item.parentTextFrames[0].texts[0].select();}//Setting line spacing: An extra line has not been selected at this timenewItem = d.selection[0];var oLinesNum = newItem.lines.length;for (i = 0; i < oLinesNum; i++) { newItem.lines[i].leading = 19.35}Later, I added this paragraph and was able to handle the last line, but I always
