Hello everyone.I want to obtain the paragraph style of the first paragraph of the selected text, and then obtain the leading (the original unchanged leading ) from the paragraph style.The premise is that the name and grouping of the paragraph style are uncertain. 

Hallo liebe Adobe-Community.Ich melde mich heute mit einem dringenden Anliegen bei euch:Wir benötigen schnellstmöglich einen Mac-Installer für InDesign 2023 v18 da wir mitten in einem Großprojekt stecken und einen neuen Arbeitsplatz zur Entlastung einrichten wollen. Wir benötigen eine v18-Version, da wir mit priint:Comet arbeiten und jegliche neuere Versionen die Automatisierungs-Optionen zerschießen würde. Wir arbeiten auch Mac Studios mit dem OS 26.Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe!Lieben GrußPatrick

Hello good people,I have a project in InDesign. The agency that created the documents worked quite professional. However, I am not impressed the way that created the styles for Headings level 2 to 6. They’ve created a heading style using Nested Styles. The heading continues with the text paragraph. Once I separate the heading from the main text using EM SPACE, the InDesign recognize the text before Em SPACE as being the header. See below. 1.4 Definition of requirements is the heading while the rest of the text is body text. Here is how they defined the style.  Well, my problem is when I generate the TOC. InDesign brings in the entire paragraph.So, I have to manually clean the TOC deleting the text between EM SPACE and dots. The dots have a character style named DOTS SPACING. The TOC should look like that.I tried to do that using FIND/CHANGE tool.FIND: tilda m (Em SPACE) + \w (any word character)However, how I set to stop to DOTS SPACING character style?Is there a way to do this automat

Not sure if it is Adobe or Apple, but when relinking file with long path and filename, it doesn't display full filename, which is often hard to find correct file in list.How do I display full path and file name on MacOS?  

When Application Frame in InDesign is off there's a small dark horizontal bar in the upper left corner of my screen. When I turn the Application Frame on then off the little black bar goes away but then comes right back on next launch. 

Text wrap is off; even a one px movement makes the text vanish entirely; text is not partially cut off; textbox is all the way to the front.This is happening for all text boxes. When they are moved at all right now, the text turns invisible.Version is In Design 2026.

공간이 충분한데 메뉴 항목이 모두 표시되지 않고 가려져잇어 스크롤하기 상당히 힘듭니다.특히 삼각형 아이콘을 클릭해야만 스크롤되는 UI가 너무나 비효율적입니다.마우스 휠로 스크롤 안되나요? 윈도우 디스플레이 배율 설정과의 호환성이 빨리 개선되었으면 좋겠네요.

A few weeks ago, my copy of InDesign’s tool features quit working with no clear indicator as to why. Proportional resizing of frames and text boxes no longer work, with or without touching the shortcut keys and their options. Holding option to duplicate objects no longer works, holding shift to draw straight and diagonal lines or gradients no longer works, as well as a couple other option/shift tool features I can’t think of at the current moment. I have tried resetting my preferences and deleting all of the files I can find on my Mac under Library and such, which did let this work for about a week. However, it is back to doing the same thing again.I’m running the latest MacOS and Adobe Creative Cloud software versions. 2023 iMac M3.

I am working on a complex layout in InDesign 2026 that contains a large number of images and tables. When I export the file to an EPUB, all the images and tables are being pushed to the very end of the chapter (or book) instead of remaining in their original layout positions.Manually cutting and pasting the HTML code for every single asset in the exported EPUB is too time-consuming.Is there a specific export setting, native feature (like Object Anchoring), or an existing script that can automatically force images and tables to retain their inline positioning relative to the surrounding text during EPUB export? Any workflow tips or automation solutions would be greatly appreciated!

This is quite a frequent bug I have lately. Whenever I am switching to other app while InDesign is idle (can still be seen on screen; not minimized), and when going back to Indesign, some weird bug happen in one combo. The cursor icon will stuck showing Move tool or Hand tool, regardless I am actually using Pen Tool, Type Tool or other tools. Actual tool is functioning normally, but showing a wrong tool icon is frustrating.In the same time, I cannot do any Undo. The history list stop recording any new changes or actions, even clicking on the previous History records do not change anything, stuck as well. Cannot do undo is a nightmare. When this occur, Indesign cannot be closed in normal way.. must be terminated through Activity Monitor. I am using Macbook Pro M1 Pro 32GB RAM. Latest current InDesign (21.5.1). Hopefuly any solution to this. 

Hello there, my graphic design teacher is curious if there is a solve to this problem. We all know the long way of importing a multi-page PDF file into InDesign using scripts.... But is there a simplier/shorter way to go about it? Especially including the newer updates to the program? 

I do a monthly newsletter, very similar format and procedure every month. Using “High Quality Print” preset, my documents have always produced a PDF between 3.7 and 3.9MB in size. Suddenly, using same # of pages, roughly same # of photos, “saved as” layout reused month after month, the document is creating a 17-25MB PDF. Even more interesting, when I open old InDesign newsletters that originally created a 3.7MB PDF, and without changing anything turn them into a new PDF, they are now 5X bigger. (See screenshots - I made absolutely no changes to this layout, just opened it a few months later and saved it to a new PDF that turns out to be 5x bigger) Did something happen with InDesign 26 (which I did not voluntarily switch to?)  

I’m exporting an InDesign document to EPUB (reflowable), but the paragraph formatting (like spacing, alignment, and indents) isn’t showing correctly in the final file. I’ve applied paragraph styles consistently. Is there a setting I’m missing or a better way to preserve formatting during EPUB export?

Hello!I am having an issue where I have set a paragraph style font to Gibson Book. However, when I apply that style, the text is converted to Arno Pro Regular and it reads as this in the font panel. When I go into the Paragraph Style panel, the basic character tab still says it is Gibson Book. I have tried making the paragraph style from scratch, and I have also tried highlighting text already formatted how I want and creating the paragraph style from that. Either way it keeps changing it back to Arno Pro.The only other thing is that this is a file someone else set up and worked in, so maybe there is some setting they put in here, but I dont know what that would be. 

I have placed a PDF into the file and cropped it. When I export my file to PDF, the way the PDF is displayed changes.

A coworker and I are collaborating on the same document. When I open the doc after she's saved it, Gotham Book appears as bold to me but it looks like normal (regular) text on her computer. We've confirmed we are both using the same version of INDD (we've run all updates). I've made sure to install all the same fonts she's using. This only happens with Gotham Book. Any ideas why this is happening? Also, when I open the document, it tells me I’m missing fonts even though I have replaced them multiple times now and downloaded the fonts. Gotham TT is one that it repeatedly says is missing, which I cannot find an exact match for. Could the license have been pulled for it?

I need an installer for InDesign 2022 (v 17.4.2) to run some old third party plugins. CC app no longer supports this version so I reached out to Adobe support who came back with “To assist you further with obtaining the version links for InDesign 2022 (v17.4.2), please visit the Adobe Community at https://adobe.com/community/ . Once there, select your product, and you can post your questions. The Adobe community members and experts will be able to help you with the download links you need.”So here I am and I can’t find any links, could anyone help please

Modifier keys suddenly stop working in InDesign. Shift, space, control, option, command lose their functionality. For example, option-dragging an element moves it instead of copying it, despite the double arrow cursor being displayed.This issue appears exclusively in InDesign. All other programs (including Adope apps) are unaffected. Only a reboot temporarily fixes it. After a while, the issue reappears. I have no software that changes keyboard behaviour. No Webroot installed either. Downgrading to an older InDesign version does not solve it. The issue appears irrespective of what files are open.MacOS 26.7 InDesign 21.5.1Having to reboot multiple times a day just to keep InDesign working is incredibly frustrating. Is there a fix to this issue?

After I place photo in the file, I can’t save the file. This problem occurs regardless of the file format or path. 

HelloIn InDesign I am having issues with the cursor and tools menu not working.  I have updated to the latest version, I have tried restarting and clearing preferences and turned of ai generative options.With the cursor, it gets stuck on one thing.  ie if I was using the Direct Selection arrow, no matter what I select (ie if I changed to eyedropper tool) it remains as Direct Selection.  With the tool menu, where you have ones with more options such as the T for Type icon - usually I click and hold and the addition options appear.  Now clicking and holding and nothing happens.Are these known issues?!Thanks!

Windows 11 - My screen is going completely black from the bottom whenever I drag an object. I can still see my object, but from the object bottom to the taskbar at the bottom it turns completely black. The black adjusts according to where i drag the object. The laptop is a 17” HP Envy.

I'm working on a document with a very long table that flows through text boxes from one page to the next. I can clearly see that there's space at the bottom of the page, but I can't seem to increase the size of the cells or row any more. When I try to drag down with the arrow, nothing happens. When I try to adjust manually, I'm met with a window that says "The value must be between 0.0417 in and 8.3333 in." Can anyone help me increase the length of the cells so that there's not overset text, and the space at the bottom of the page is filled? Thanks!

Every time I open InDesign, I find the context bar in the center of the screen. Even when I use the 'unpin' command, I move the context bar where I want it, and "pin" it. However, the bar keeps returning to the center, and the 'pin context bar' command doesn't seem to work.Screenshot attached.

Okay, I don't know if anyone else has this problem; however, I keep having it, and it's really annoying and frustrating because for some reason the Contextual Task Bar in Illustrator or InDesign keeps acting up by only moving in one place up and down not all over the screen like it should be and I've tried to save all my stuff, exit out, and reopen as well as turning it off in the Window section of both applications and nothing and I have no idea how to fix this so if anyone knows a permant solution to this please tell me cause I'm lost and I would really appericate it so much! Thanks so much in advance!-vevegirl13
