Questions

Hello everyone,does anyone have a download file/package for InDesign and Photoshop from 2020/2021? Unfortunately, my PC can no longer be updated and is stuck on Windows 10 version 1909. The newer versions of InDesign are not compatible with this older operating system. Sadly, Adobe Support doesn’t have download files for the older versions anymore—only for the last three releases. They therefore advised me to ask here in the community, as someone here might be able to provide me with the download file.PS: I have an active subscription, so I really only need the download file, which I can then link again with my Creative Cloud account.I’m hoping someone might still have this old download somewhere on their PC and would be willing to share it with me.You would be my lifesaver.Best regards

Hi everyone,I’m looking for a way to save a copy of the active InDesign document using the UXP APIMy requirements are:Save a copy in the same folder as the active documentSave the copy without showing any dialog boxIs there a UXP method that supports this? 

I just finished creating an interactive pdf but the text boxes I created wont expand when the text box is full, it keeps going but wont to the next line (I dont know how to explain it). Is there a way to have an expandable interactive text box or would I need to use another app?

Started out of the blue yesterday - I cannot get my selection tool back to normal. It won’t select items in file due to this little box hanging out with is - see image. How do I get my standard selection tool back?

When working in InDesign, entire objects (text fields, color areas, linked images) disappear and are no longer displayed. Not even their frames. The layers cannot be selected by clicking on the location where the elements are located. Zooming into the document or changing the view mode doesnt change anything in the visability of the objects.  However, the objects are still there in the layers window. Similarly, when exporting a PDF, the invisible objects become visible again. I can make the objects visible again by copying and pasting them onto a new page or by saving an IDML and opening it. However, the objects keep disappearing when working in the file.Tested with GPU turned on and off.

Hi!Maybe the community can help me with this: When exporting a InDesign-document to Adobe PDF/X-4:2010 for prepress/print, I get a warning about color separation inconsistency. When checking this out, it points to the ”cutting-marks” and to the document-info of the PDF (this is all outside the printing-area). It also warns about the system font Helvetica.  I have never seen this warning before. And even more strange: When I do a preflight of the PDF in smaller chunks of pages, everything is ok. The PDF-document have 336 pages. Translation, screenshots:Registreringfärg = Special colourÖvertryck av/på = Overprint on/off I work in:Adobe Acrobat, version 2025.001.20841 (Creative Cloud Standard)Adobe InDesign, version 21.0.1 (Creative Cloud Standard)Mac Studio Sequoia 15.6.1 /Marta

We use Google's Material Symbols fonts for icons in our documents. This works fine in InDesign 2025, but if I open a file containing Material Symbols in InDesign 2026, it immediately crashes. The same goes for assigning the font to text within a document. Immediate crash.

Hi, Please assist me to understand that how the Text (Read Only!) is inserted in attached InDesign on Master page without using the Layer. Thanks,Santosh

hello, i am working on a book (currently in dissertation form) that has endnotes at the end of the entire book. right now, the endnotes are auto-populating on the very last page of the document. after i made enough endnotes to fill up that page, rather than stopping at the end of the page and starting a new endnote page, the footnotes are bleeding off of the page into the blank in-between space. i'd like for the endnotes to fill up multiple, continuous pages. i have tried a few things that have not worked, like copying some over to a new page, or attempting to figure out how to add a second endnote text box on the next page. thank you! 

There is a command to recompose all the stories. It is:Ctrl + Alt + / I want to invoke the same command using this method:app.menuActions.item("$ID/Show Rulers").invoke(); Instead of "Show Rulers" how do I write the above command. Thanks

Im on the brink of waving InDesign goodbye, when this happens ever egain. After Updating InDesign to 20.3.1 every window with a previous checked "preview"-checkbox gets reverted to unchecked – Every. Effin. Update. Is this really neccessary??  

Takes forever to switch from open file to open file!!!!!!! And also takes forever for placed image files to show high res. 

This my first posting here. I am an 86 year-old retired minister of the Uniting Church in Australia, formerly Methodist. I have a large number of sermons, orders of worship, articles etc saved on my computer, many of which are in InDesign format (from when I was a paying subscriber to (I think) CS6. My understanding was that I had purchased a lifetime subscription to InDesign, but I can no longer retrieve them. How do I now download these 'old' versions so that I and my family can enjoy recalling those old days? Russell_0502.

I have a text frame in Adobe InDesign with around 100 lines, each separated by a hard return (Enter). The font size is 12 px and I want the line height (leading) to also be 12 px.Manually adjusting each line is too slow. Is there a faster way to narrow the spacing for all lines at once, ideally without editing each paragraph individually?

My Adobe fonts not activating in Indesign. This has just started in the past week or so. I have tried using both indesign 2025 & 2026 i am on a mac sequoiz 15.6. Please help!!!

when i use the pen tool i can't see the guide i've tried every thing but i couldn't fix it 

I KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!I checked that keep options are set to "anywhere"Now that I got that out of the way, Whenever I press do a return, or a soft return, the text on the right of my cursor just dissapeares, no matter how much room there is in the text square. The red '+' sign appeares indicating overflow. Does anyone recognises or know how to solve this problem? Things I tried: Paragraph styles reset. Preferences reset Updated InDesign. Make text room bigger Ask ChatGPT

I have a file that has 2 pages and currently I have a data merge .csv attached to the file that allows me to create individual PDFs for each of the 54 companies. Problem is that I must create each of these one-at-a-time which is incredibly time consuming. I'm curious to know if there's a way to automate the merge to individal PDFs that is accurately named to each company? Is this possible and how do I do that; berring in mind I have no idea how to write a script. or make it run successfully. Thanks for any help I can get. Kim

I found this thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/auto-close-alert-message/td-p/9398258Images here: https://github.com/Marshall-Brooks/Sandbox/issues/2 See also:https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/simulate-button-press-in-script-ui/m-p/7460138 I'm somewhat spoiled by the Enhanced Message Box add-on for Microsoft Access which shows a standard Msgbox with a countdown of seconds until the box closes. I used @Peter Kahrel's Scipt UI guide to modify the first linked script as follows:function AutocloseAlert(message, delaySeconds, title){ title = title || 'Alert'; var alertWindow = new Window('palette', title); // var control_text = alertWindow.add('edittext', [0, 0, 500, 200], message, {multiline: true}); // var control_text = alertWindow.add('edittext', , message, {multiline: true}); var control_text = alertWindow.add('edittext', undefined, message, {multline:true}) // if(delaySeconds === 0)

Hello,For almost 2 years, we have been testing and debugging our PLNs in their release versions, as we could not get the debug versions to build/link, and it was still possible to run in the VS2019 debugger with breakpoints etc...Now, we have some quiet time, and I deceided to try to get the debug version of the PLN to build and finally managed to et the debug version of my PLN to build and link.But, when I try to use the "normal" version of InDesign to load my debug PLN, nothing happens.Do I need to also install the DEBUG version of InDesign (yuk!) ?Very best regards,Olivier

Hello, This is a script from a previous post in 2011. It works great! But I have the following request: How to apply it to a specific paragraph style like "Heading 1" instead of selecting the text?  //DESCRIPTION: Converts selected text to title case smartly  var ignoreWords = ["a", "an", "and", "the", "to", "with", "in", "on", "as", "of", "or", "at", "into", "that",         "by", "from", "their", "then", "for", "are", "not","cannot", "be", "is", "which", "can"];var intCaps = ["PineRidge","InDesign","NJ","UMC", "FCCLA", "SkillsUSA", "d’Oeuvres", "VAT", "VIES",]; // or by creating text files named ignoreWords.txt and intCaps.txt in the same folder as the script ignoreWords = getIgnoreFile(ignoreWords);intCaps = getIntCaps(intCaps); try {    myText = app.selection[0].texts[0].contents;} catch(e) {    exit();} theWordRanges = myText.split("/");for (var i = theWordRanges.lengt

I have an interactive PDF created in indesign. I have hyperlinks in my doc that open/connect to pdfs in a separate folder where the hyperlinked pdfs are stored.  I would like to have this interactive pdf placed on a website maintaining the separate file structure and its links. How do you accomplish this?

Hello, Updated to Adobe 2025 months ago, and it was working last week until I needed a Mac update. It was not working after it needed an update (crashes on load and shows "not responding"). I updated my Mac, and it still won't work. MacOS Sequoia 15.5. 2022 Mac Studio Apple M1 Max.I have deleted Cache, Preferences, cmd+shift+option+control on start, reinstall, etc., and nothing has worked. Old installs are not working. I've never had this problem with any Adobe app before. Any help?

I’m working on the design below, and when I press W, the layout changes back and forth—see screenshots below. The version on the left is how it should look, on the right, how it should not look. The issue disappears after I restart the application, but it returns soon after. This is a significant issue for professional designers, it means we can no longer rely on the accuracy of what your software displays. Setup: macOS Tahoe 26.1, InDesign 21.0.1. PS: The screenshot on the right seems to display a previous step in the process, for unknown reasons.PPS: I’m not talking about how ‘W’ hides/shows the bounding boxes, I’m talking about the design itself changing.
