Hi, After opening the app and If I try working, it is getting closed. I've installed and using on my desktop windows 10. does anyone facing this issue? How to fix it?

I purchased a new iMac a few months ago and installed InDesign along with Illustrator and Photoshop.  When I added the Canto plug-in (Digital Asset Management), it now shows up displaying a weird unreadable font.  I've tried everything I can think of.  I uninstalled and reinstalled both InDesign and the Canto plugin several times.  My preferences in InDesign are set to the US Dictionary, Creative Cloud is set to download app in English (North America).  I deleted preferences.  This plug-in is completely unusable until I can figure it out.  BTW - my co-working is running the same app versions with the same Mac OS and does not have the same issue.  

I am creating a form in InDesign. I need to be able to add tracking to the text the user types into the Text Field in Acrobat, so the letters are spaced out to fit within the little tick marks. Is this possible within InDesign? I attempted to add a Paragraph Style to the Text Field, but that did not stick when I exported an Interactive Form. I have the previous version of their form where this is accomplished using a Univers Condensed font. The spacing between letters within the tick marks is super clean. I could not achieve this so cleanly in InDesign with tracking (about 1060), but I hope the solution exists there, and not something that needs to be done afterwards in Acrobat.

Hello! I have an .ai file of my logo that I've used for years, and as recently as 2 months ago. It is an all white logo with a transparent background. Just today, I copied (not placed) it into a new document in InDesign and then saved the file as a PDF. Next, I uploaded it to my website, then tested the download myself. The transparency in the logo displays correctly in the file on my PC, but when viewed online, the transparent part is all white. I've done this whole procedure tons of times and never had this problem. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help! BTW, I cleared my browsing history, logged out of  Wix, and tried everything again. Same problem. 

Hello everyone,First posting here, so I hope it works.I have drawn a square in InDesign, and want to select one of the corner points to distort it. I assumed the direct selection tool would do this, but it is completely unable to select any of the points. Does anyone know how to do this?Thanks

Hiya! I'm making a little booklet, magazine thing. I think I've generally set up the bleed OK, but on the double page spread, the image doesn't show on the inside bleed, and instead that bit appears on the bleed on the other page, which is a blank text page. I think I understand why it's happening, the bleeds are crossing over. But I'm not sure how to fix it.

Hello, Since last week I'm trying to install the 'translater PRO' plugin from the Creative Cloud. I've tried a couple of times but in remains in 'installing plugin'. Even over the weekend, no result. Error code is 1002 but credentials were given.  I've tried all the troubleshoot I could find; re-installing everything, rebooting, the lot. It is starting to drive me crazy, since my colleague on the same company sub installed it in no time.  I have a brand new HP z-book, which is well qualified, no, it's not ARM.  Can you please tell me what else to do? This is so frustrating. Thanks in advance!

Hi team, I'm getting the following error when I upload my epub file created in InDesign to Ingram Sparks platform for publishing. I have tried to re-make the Table of Contents / Navigation but it didn't fix my problem. Any ideas what the issue could be? Error while parsing file: element "a" missing required attribute "href

I need to get my document pages to go the opposit way.For example the first page has to be the last, and vice versahow can I do that??

A colleague was working on a calendar and when I checked I noticed something strange, the text was slowly wandering up a little by little with every column you go to the right. I created a new file to figure out what was wrong and te same thing happened. Anyone have an idea what is going on here, apparently you can only use whole points for vertically spacing text otherwise this happens?Tried different Indesign versions 19.x and 20.x and fonts. The only thing that fixes it, is either using whole points for all values or create outlines, then the alignement is fixed. I added an Indesign file with a generic font so you can replicate what happens.

Does anyone know if there any way to disable the default behavior in InDesign where it replaces an object you happen to unknowingly still have selected with whatever object you are trying to place? This is absolutely behavior I want InDesign to do NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER EVER! When I select 'Place', I want to place an object not replace an object. Always. Please, help.

Hi, I've been exporting my book design as PDFs from InDesign from time to time as I work on my book and they have been exporting fine. But I am suddenly getting the message below. Do I need to worry about this? The PDFs do still open ok and I can read them ok. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary with the design. This also happened with my last book that I had printed locally and it printed fine. But this new design is for Amazon so I can't afford for it to be a corrupt file.        <Title renamed by MOD>  

When looking for Searching via “Selection” or “Story” through GREP using a script — it expands into this convoluted rabbit hole, when you would imagine it would be much simpler .The short and sweet script, below, works but affects the entire document. I attempted placing “selection” in various places, and tried creating variables to point to various iterations of app.pageItem.selection , app.selection , etc . To no avail.I commented out the last line I attempted.As always any help is very much appreciated.Thank you.//reset GREP preferencesapp.findGrepPreferences=app.changeGrepPreferences=null;//app.findChangeGrepOptions = app.pageItem.selectionapp.findGrepPreferences.findWhat="\r";app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo=",\s";app.activeDocument.changeGrep();app.findGrepPreferences=app.changeGrepPreferences=null;Looking for the javascript syntax that affects Find/Change > GREP > Search > Stories (and/or selection)

Someone sent me a link to an InDesign project for me to continue to work on it. When I click on the link it brings me to the web version without any clear way to save or edit. Could someone help me with how to get this link opened in my app with the full ability to edit and save? Thank you so much! 

Hi. I need help resolving a GREP issue. I need to apply superscript to reference numbers and the commas or endashes within, but NOT the commas separating the names. For example:Karen Smith4, Frank Jones2–5, Johnboy Walton12, Harry Bottom10,11.I have this\d[–, \d]*?And it recognises the name separating commas, but not the ones needed between the reference numbers (2–5 or 10,11).This is for a scientific application, and unfortunately, I must keep the style (commas and endashes), not switch them out for hyphens or semicolons. 

Is it possible to have All Spots to Process stick as part of a PDF export preset?

Opening a recent file opens a different one from the list.I've uninstalled and reinstalled. Still broken.

Bonjour, lorsque je fais une cible Hyperlien et que j'exporte mon pdf interactif il ne fonctionne pas. Je sais faire ce type de chose et là je ne comprends pas. Plus aucun bouton ne fonctionne dès qu'il s'agit d'aller à une autre page. merci pour votre aide.

 Je travail sur indd et AI en RVB, mes profils correspondent entre eux mais quand j'exporte pour l'impression en pdf les couleurs changent. Les couleurs ne changent pas sur toutes les pages, je ne sais pas comment y remédier  ici toujours dans le pdf d'impression, le vert est le bon 

In my design of a magazine, the main text uses baseline grid, but each article's author bio is a smaller font with no alignment to the grid. The author bio in its own frame, with Text Frame Options -> Align=Bottom. As long as I make sure the bottom of the bio frame is on one of the grid lines, I normally can get things to look nice, with the bottom of the bio aligned with the bottom of text in other columns. But this time it's acting weird, probably related to wrapping around an image. No matter where I put the bio frame, I can't get the text to align to the bottom of the frame. I think InDesign is using its own algorithm to try to make the appearance of the lines pleasing, but I want to prioritize the text alignment in the frame over "beauty". Can I do that? Or is this a bug? Here's a screenshot with context - the selected frame on the right side is the bio. If InDesign would make the text flush with the bottom of the text frame, it would align with "God's reality." on the lef

Hi,For years i am having this issue which drives me crazy. Not sure if this is a bug, or if I am doing it wrong, but it definitely feels like a bug.In my document i have a number of  titles which have a digit at the end, in superscript, referring to specific technical terms listed at the end of the document. This list is quite long. The setup is that, after exporting the document as an interactive PDF, you can click on the items in that list and that will take you to the page with the referral number.What i did is create hyperlinks to pages that i have entered manually in the hyperloink window under 'link to page'. So it's not based on anchor points. I just enetered the page number to link to manuallyHowever, after exporting, I keep having a few issues: 1. Not all links are exported (by the way, this also happens for some website links i have in the document), and if i redo the export, some do work but then others fail.2. Sometimes it links to a different page thgan to t

I export a 15x21 cm book to pdf in indesign, it makes it 16x22 pdf. When our graphic designer exports the exact same document on his own computer, it exports it as 15x21. We don't know if it is a bug in the current versions. Of course, this creates a lot of trouble for us for minor corrections.

My computer specs:CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3DGPU: Nvidia RTX 4080 SuperRAM: 64GB DDR5Issue summary:When I open InDesign (version 2025, 20.3.1), the application freezes as soon as I open the Pages panel. It happens regardless of whether I’m working with an existing document or creating a new one.In Windows Resource Monitor, InDesign shows as “Not Responding” (red highlight).Steps to reproduce:1. Launch InDesign.2. Open any document (even a new blank one).3. Open the Pages panel.4. The program freezes completely and becomes unresponsive.I’ve tried several things:-Restarting the computer-Reinstalling InDesign (including cleaning with CC Cleaner)-Installing older versions-Resetting preferences-Testing both the Korean and English versions of InDesign-Forcing the GPU (NVIDIA) to be used for InDesign in Windows Graphics Settings In the English version, InDesign works fine — no freezing at all.In the Korean version, opening the Pages panel consistently freezes the program.This suggests the i

Ok, I'm having CONSTANT slow drag with InDesign. The spinning beach ball appears while I"m doing almost ANYTHING, even after quitting/re-starting the program, and even re-starting the OS. I'm running High Sierra on Mac, with 40GB of memory, so that shouldn't be the issue, but almost anything I'm doing, I'm getting major lag. Any ideas? This is really ridiculous. Thanks!
