Hello, I’ve already taken all tried the steps laid out on Adobe’s site to troubleshoot. Additionally I’ve tried the following:Swapped from ethernet to Wifi, then back againLogged out of Creative cloud then logged back inre-started creative cloudTried uploading from the same Adobe login using 2 different computers, and 2 different indesign files.Tried to update existing link, does not work. Tried to publish new link, also does not work. No i do not have proxies or vpn getting in the way. I ebven tried turning my VPN on to see if that would somehow do anything, nothing. Just keep getting error 18 or 33 across 2 macs, multiple indesign files. Two comepletly separate networks as well. The one consistent thing is my Adobe account, any advice?

Hi everyone, Can anyone help me? I'm trying to create an InDesign snippet that contains a table, but every time I place it on the page, it messes up the layout. Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to fix it? Apologies for my english, please see the photo for reference before and after of my snippet 

Just a bout forever I have been have to use the option  (or shift and option if I want to duplicate horizontally or vertically)  to duplicate an element and drag it to where I want it to be. It is not working anymore. When I click on an object the double arrow does appear, but as soon as I drag, it disappears...I use this all the time, what is the fix?

After the most recent update I had to create a document using assets from older indesign files that previously never gave any issues. Now the dropshadows from multiple (different objects) move all over the place (away from the object as if theres a fixed lightsource) when I move these objects. When I turn off the dropshadow of the object, move the object and then turn the shadow back on it will have the shadow in it's correct position. When I move the object around multiple times it will start glitching the entire page until I move my cursor over it again. When I change the path of the object the displaced shadow will snap back into it's correct position, making me think this is a graphical display issue.  In the example below you can see how the dropshadows moved. (left one moved up when moving the object down and to the left. Right one stayed closer to it's original position but offset, middle is the original position before copying and moving).  i'm working on a

InDesign decided to stop letting me add photos or drag any in?Anyone else have this problem, or how do I fix it?Attached snip of what it says when I try placing an image, but i have full permission and it isn't in use.When I drag one in, nothing happens.Strange thing is that it let me put in a .png logo, but not a .jpeg image...?

Dear Adobe!Please add "Convert fonts to outlines" function in Export/PDF/Advanced dialog box in InDesign.Thank you!

Hello, I need help in removing border that appears around my text frame. I've looked at all the Text Frame Options and have changed all the setting and nothing is working to remove the .25in border that appears all around the text frame.

I’m running the latest version on a MacBook Pro with Tahoe 26.2.So far I've noticed:Undo is unavailable (grayed out in the menu) Extreme lag time when importing large images Cursor gets stuck in the previous mode. (For example, if I switch to the magnifying glass to  enlarge the view then go back to the regular arrow, it stays in the magnifying glass. 

Trying to work with InDesign is such a pain. Not because the program is bad. Because it is severely disregarded and needs to be updated for integration with CC. The files are large and lengthy more often than not and Adobe is already killing my computer which seems to ONLY affect InDesign. Please give InDesign some attention. It needs your help and so do we 

I’ve noticed lately that InDesign no longer gives a warning about out-of-date cross references when I export to PDF. I’m using version 25.5.1. I really rely on that safeguard as I use cross references in most of my documents! Is there a fix?

Constantly at the bottom of the page, ‘did you know AI can do this and that’. How do I stop that, it totally grinds my gears? How about instead of that, you fix when I click to relink from CC libraries the panel removes all folders and slaps everything into one view. How about fixing that Adobe instead of AI?How about substantially improving the contents page dialogue with its tiny text, and congested space to work in?How about when I drag things from CC libraries it doesn't cause the page I am working in to nudge over?

InDesign 21.6 - Windows 11 - Local.When images are imported in Ai or PDF formats, the Alt Text does not appear as a tooltip on the accessible PDF while it is present for JPG imports.The control on Acrobat mentions the presence of the Alt Text for Ai or PDF imports but does not display the tooltip.Is it a technical constraint, a forgotten step or a lack to be corrected on the app? In the case of constraints, it seems tedious to me to have to transpose all the Ai or PDF imports into JPG.Thank you for your feedback.

Hi , our libraries are not available to us anymore. We work on virtual desktops under citrix. Has anyone a solution for us?Thanks! Frank

Many publications include the section number in their page-number formats. This appears to be impossible in InDesign in 2026.The result is that we must manually edit the TOC-entry styles in every document. And then, if we sync our book without remembering to disable TOC-style syncing, every TOC in the book is now wrong and we have to manually go through dozens of documents and fix every TOC style by hand.Has anyone devised a workaround? 

When I have a multi-page Parent page, I will want to adjust the size of 1 single page. I click on a page but it will select all three instead of 1. It only does this sometimes. At times I can click to the desktop and then back on the desired page a few times and it will work properly. Sometimes not. Any opinions?

Quand j’importe une image, tout se bloque et indesign tourne en permanence pour vérification.

Hello again.I’m working on getting back to the other questions I’ve started, but meanwhile I’m also trying to get this ebook out on Draft 2 Digital.The ebook cover looked fine when I uploaded it to Amazon, but now that I’ve got it on Draft 2 Digtial it is scaled wrong.  Google says the original image is 600 x1004 pixels and that that is the problem. Is there a way to upscale it using InDesign? I’ve adjusted the layout to be 1600 x2560 which is the dimensions I want, but when I place the image and fit it to the frame it appears I’m stretching it instead of upscaling it. Is there a way to fix this? 

Hi! I’m designing a document with many tables, and I can’t figure out how to get InDesign to automatically split cell content across page breaks; instead, it’s creating unwanted empty space at the bottom of the pages. Is there a way to solve this problem?

It appears to be Publish Online except that it creates an HTML5 'package' that you can upload to a web server. I am a huge fan of the In5 plugin, and I'm wondering if this comes a little closer to that standard. I'll be updating ID and comparing the two. I'm a firm believer in the possibilities of custom designed websites that are  static--meaning not templated or output from a database. If Adobe is planning to put development effort to supporting this feature, I'm looking forward to a lot more creativity and less cookie-cutter interactive design.   Here's my wish list: Improved animation tools The ability to create variables for things like keeping score in a quiz HTML5 tricks like parallax scrolling and draggable elements   <Title renamed by MOD>

I set up a document with DATE>TAB>HOLIDAY and when I copied it into a new document it became HOLIDAY>TAB>DATE.  Is there a setting to prevent this from happening?

502 Bad Gateway For all of my Published Online documents! Even one-pagers. Just updated InDesign (v. 21.6, Windows software) and tried again with one page, also gives Bad Gateway. All of my client products are in InDesign Publish Online..

I have Creative Suite Pro. For some reason I purchased a license for InDesign as well, which I obviously don’t need since it’s part of the suite. If I drop the InDesign license, is it going to mess with the projects we have in progress? Before I remove it, I want to make sure otherwise my designer will end me.

Please use the direct selection tool to select the innermost image.The code is invalid for the blue image in the middle. Effective on the right side.The reason for this may be that I held down "Ctrl+Shift+left mouse button" and dragged the innermost "image".var d = app.activeDocument;var item = d.selection[0];//alert(item.constructor.name);//alert(item.parent.parent.constructor.name);// direct selection toolif (item.constructor.name == "Image") { //alert('000') contentFitToFrame(item.parent.parent)}function contentFitToFrame(s) { //alert('001') s.frameFittingOptions.fittingAlignment = AnchorPoint.TOP_LEFT_ANCHOR; s.fit(FitOptions.FILL_PROPORTIONALLY);} 

We're seeing an intermittent crash when quitting InDesign 2026 (v21.5.1.73, macOS 26.5.2, Apple Silicon) while our C++ SDK plugin is loaded. The crash occurs on the VulcanMsgRecv thread, inside a dynamic_cast in VulcanMessage5.dylib, apparently operating on a freed/invalid object (KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS, guard-pattern address). Two independent crash reports, captured on different days, show byte-identical offsets into VulcanMessage5.dylib (only the ASLR base differs), indicating this is a single deterministic code path rather than a generic timing race: Crash 1 (2026-08-11): base 0x1028cc000Crash 2 (2026-08-10): base 0x107784000Both crashes, same relative offsets:0 libc++abi.dylib __cxxabiv1::...dyn_cast_get_derived_info + 81 libc++abi.dylib __dynamic_cast + 562 VulcanMessage5.dylib +1018963 VulcanMessage5.dylib +1003924 VulcanMessage5.dylib +1016405 VulcanMessage5.dylib +1003446 VulcanMessage5.dylib +1059487 VulcanMessage5.dylib +1049008 VulcanMessage5.dylib +1047289 VulcanMessage5.dyli
