Questions

Hi,For years I have been work with CS 5.5 - my laptop died and I tried to install but the verification servers won't let me re-install so I bought a Creative Cloud liscence. Now I can't open my old CS 5.5 InDesign Files. Is there a plugin that will allow me open them and save them as CC 2022 files?

Hi all! I'm sure there is a way to do this, but when I search, I'm not wording it right. Hopefully I can ask my question clearly. Take a look at the screenshot I'm attaching. I create pages and pages of these types of reports. It's not a table... it's text with tabs. Currently, I have Paragraph Styles to create the header, middle section and footer of each section. But... I'm wondering if there is a way to tell InDesign to automatically bold the first line and add a line above the last line. How would I go about doing this? I swear I saw it done in a tutorial years ago, but I can't figure it out. Thank you! 

Bonjour Depuis le passage à Indesign 2026, mon ordi ne reconnaît plus les .indd dans l'explorateur comme des fichiers Indesign. Je peux toujours les ouvrir depuis Indesign mais plus depuis l'explorateur où ils affichent une icône vierge. J'ai beau choisir Indesign comme appli par défaut (lors de la tentative d'ouverture ou dans les paramètres Windows) rien à faire. Ça ne veut pas ... Si je désinstalle Indesign 2026 et remet la version 2025 ça refonctionne normalement. Mais dès que je rebascule sur la version 2026, le problème réapparaît. Pour info, je n'ai pas ce problème avec les autres applis de la Creative Suite qui ont également basculé de 2025 à 2026. Pas de souci non plus avec Indeisgn ou tout autre appli sur mon ordi portable aussi connecté à ma Creative Suite. Ca donne plutôt l'impression d'une désinstallation d'Indesign 2025 mal faite sur cet ordi ...

I am planning to edit a Journal which will comprise about 40 professional articles from 40 different authors. I have seen intructions sent out which are basically MS Word focussed.But I know importing many articles from different authors into InDesign can be a nightmare.Paragraph and Character Styles will be lost, Footnotes are not in the same character style, Quoyes are not indented and so on.Therefore I plan to send them guidelines on working with MS Word. I suggest the following:I will create a MS Word template.I will remove all the styles.I will introduce custom styles like Heading, Sub Heading, Body, Quote, Author Name, Author Designation.The Authors should strictly follow these styles.Will this make sense?  

I would like to select text in several places at the same time ie:Text 1Text 2Text 3And on each of these lines I want to place the cursor to add some text at one time. Something like this exists in visual studio code. How to do it? Below is a video explaining what I mean.

Hallo zusammen,ich habe seit einiger Zeit ein wiederkehrendes Problem mit InDesign:Beim erneuten Öffnen meiner Dokumente werden diese regelmäßig nur schreibgeschützt geladen. Dadurch ist die Funktion „Speichern“ deaktiviert, und ich kann die Dateien nicht unter dem gleichen Namen sichern, sondern muss sie jedes Mal neu anlegen.Das ist besonders ärgerlich im Zusammenhang mit Review-Links, weil ich durch die ständigen neuen Dateinamen auch ständig neue Links erzeugen und verschicken muss. Eine fortlaufende Kommentarfunktion für die Kollegen ist dadurch nicht möglich.Rahmenbedingungen:Die Dateien liegen lokal auf meinem Rechner bzw. auf unserem Server.In den Dateieigenschaften ist kein Schreibschutz gesetzt.Ich bin alleinige Nutzerin und habe die Dateien nicht mehrfach geöffnet.InDesign CC – aktuellste Version (21.0 x64).Frage:Ist das Problem bereits bekannt? Gibt es eine Lösung oder ein bevorstehendes Update, das diesen Bug behebt?Danke vorab!

I have set up a masterpage for use in a long report containing hundreds of tables and diagrams. I have used fitting options to have the object ( diagram placed from a pdf) size proportionally at a click when placing the object. This workes fine, but the dotted frame (from the master) disappear. If I for some reason need to go back, I have no placeholder to reference my object. I cannot find how to make it reappear? If I try to reapply the masterpage again, the placed object disappear and I have to place it again from start (Ctrl+D). Is there an answer to this, or do I just have to adjust my "workflow" to overcome this problem? The aim is to place very many diagrams without having to manually adjust/size them all.Thanks 

Buenos días,Llevo varios días intentando averiguar a qué se debe pero no soy capaz de dar con la clave. El caso es que cuando abro cualquier archivo, incluso uno nuevo, en InDesign me aparecen todas las herramientas bloqueadas excepto Notas y Texto por lo que solo puedo realizar acciones con estas dos herramientas.He probado cambiando de espacio de trabajo y nada. No sé me ocurre qué hacer, si alguien puede darme una solución, se lo agradezco.Trabajo con InDesign CC 2017 en Windows 10 Pro.

Halloich möchte gerne PDF-Kommentare in InDesign importieren. Ich gehe über "Fenster - Kommentare - PDF Kommentare", dann erscheint das Feld "PDF-Kommentare importieren". Wenn ich die Datei auswähle kommt die Meldung " Die PDF-Datei wurde nicht aus InDesign erstellt. Wählen Sie eine andere PDF-Datei aus, um fortzufahren." Kann mir jemand helfen wie ich vorgehen muss, um die Kommentare in InDesign zu sehen?Danke

Buenos días,Desde que instalé la versión 21.0.1 de InDesign estoy teniendo problemas con la impresión de trazos cuando están hechos con puntos. Al hacer el PDF de impresión aparecen, pero cuando imprimo salen en blanco. ¿A alguien le ha ocurrido? ¿Sabéis cómo arreglarlo?Gracias.

Hello everyone,I'm working on a project using the InDesign SDK, and I need to programmatically get and set the alt text for hyperlinks. I found some interfaces like IHyperlinkCmdData and IHyperlinkTable, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to retrieve or modify the alt text for a specific hyperlink.Does anyone have an example snippet or guidance on how to achieve this?Here's what I've tried so far int32 hyperlinkCountint = hyperlinkTable->GetHyperlinkCount(); UID hyperlinkUID = hyperlinkTable->GetNthHyperlinkSource(n); // n = 1 TI_CHECKED_NEW_CMD(myNewCmd, kNewHyperlinkCmdBoss); // custom macro defintion below #define TI_CHECKED_NEW_CMD(theVar, theCmdBoss) \ InterfacePtr<ICommand> theVar(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(theCmdBoss));\ if (theVar == nil) {\ break;\ } TI_CHECKED_INTERFACE(IHyperlinkCmdData, myNewCmdData, myNewCmd, IID_IHYPERLINKCMDDATA); // custom macro defintion below #define TI_CHECKED_INTERFACE(theTypeSymbol, theVar, theBase, theI

My software recently updated to Adobe InDesign 2026 on Windows 11. Whenever I try opening an InDesign document now, I receive a dialog box with the error message "Adobe InDesign 2026 has encountered a problem and needs to close." The program then closes.   I've sent multiple reports. I've updated Windows 11 to the most recent version. I've tried running InDesign as an administrator. Nothing seems to work.   Has anyone else experienced this issue? What can be done here?     <Title renamed by MOD>

InDesign 2025 lässt sich nicht auf mehreren Monitoren anzeigen. Ich starte InDesign auf meinem Laptop kann es dann aber nicht auf den angeschlossenen Monitor verschieben. Mit Photoshop bspw. geht es. Woran kann das liegen?   InDesign 2025 cannot be displayed on multiple monitors. I start InDesign on my laptop but cannot move it to the connected monitor. It works with Photoshop, for example. What could be the reason for this?     <Title renamed by MOD>

I've been using InDesign for four years now and have never encountered this problem. After entering and exiting presentation mode with Shift + W, the entire InDesign window resizes to about half of my screensize. I've tried searching for similar questions from others and can't find anything exact. How can I fix this?

When the action windows are arranged on the side of the screen in the workspace, occasionally, in a completely random manner, clicking on them does not open the required action window. They can only be used if they float in window (which of course complicates the work). The problem is solved independently after a long time or by restarting the software. The POPUP-STICK WINDOW DON'T OPEN Only if I DETACH it.*The problem is intermittent. And that's a real problem. 

HelloI searched and couldn't found any solution about this. Seems like an old issue and still not solved. I have Table of Contents and it creates bookmarks in project file when I updated the ToC.I also have buttons in my master pages (or parent pages). So these buttons link to each other master pages to quickly switch between subjects. When I create the button I pick the target from the bookmark list that ToC created. It works well until I update the ToC!All button links are breaking and in the project file all buttons automatically select the first bookmark from the bookmark list. None of any button is working. The only way, I update ToC first and re-link all buttons and then export to pdf file.Do you have any idea or solution? Thanks 

Hello. I want to have a preeflight for indesign that only checks visible objects.We have alot of hidden objects due to we work with a plugin Easy Catalog and its able to change things (for example price bubble/market bubble) depending on different variables. I cant see you have that option when you set up an preeflight option.Would it be possible to write/program a specific one that meets this demand?Best regards Mattias

Hola, He instalado de nuevo el programa indesign debido a un problema que tuve con el ordenador. Y ahora cuando que intento retomar el trabajo en el mismo punto donde lo dejé , abro el documento indesign y cuando quiero editar el texto, tanto de una tabla como caja de texto, al escribir o hacer un espacio o cualquier cosa, todo el texto se desplaza hacia abajo, como pueden ver el el video que adjunto.Estoy usando exactamente la misma fuente que antes y el mismo estilo de carácter, todo exactamente igual, pero no se como evitar que haga esto y porque lo hace..., pero no puedo seguir trabajando si me hace esto.  ¿Alguna idea de que puede ser y como solucionarlo?¿Muchas gracias!

Since upgrading to the latest version of InDesign I am no longer able to add items to a library.  It wants me to migrate my libraries to Creative Cloud, but I would prefer these files live in the same Dropbox folder on my computer in which my .indd project files reside. I use this feature heavily for icons and symbols used in my publication and I'd like to find a solution for this.As you can see above, the add item and delete item icons are greyed out. Please and thank you.

Hello,I'm having trouble getting my endnotes accessible. I use PAC (PDF Accessibility Checker) to check the PDFs that result from my InDesign documents, and always receive these error messages for the endnotes: Failure error, for each hyperlinked endnote number in the Notes section:1)   'ID missing in "Note" structure element' Warning message:2)   '"Contents" entry on an annotaion exists, but is only comprised of white space'. This occurs for both the endnote number in the text and in the Notes section.3)   '"Note" element is not referenced by a "Link" element'. This only occurs for the endnote numbers in the Notes section.4)   '"Note" element does not contain a "Lbl" element'. This only occurs for the endnote numbers in the Notes section.5)   '"P" element contains "Note" element'. This only occurs for the endnote numbers in the Notes section.These errors are making my documents inaccessible, and accessibility is imp
