Hello!I need to change all text set in non-black colours to 100% black. There are hundreds of pages, but not all text colours have been added to the swatches. Is there a way to do this, either through find-and-change or a script? Please help!

Hi,I’m currently working with an InDesign Asset Library file provided by a client, which contains a text frame with strokes on three sides (bottom, left, and right). I need to modify the individual side strokes—specifically, I want to add a stroke on the top while removing the stroke at the bottom. I’ve spent hours trying to figure out how to make this change and haven’t had any success. My team, who also received this file, is unfamiliar with the original settings as it was provided by the client.Has anyone encountered this issue or can guide me on how to modify the individual strokes effectively?  

Today, i saw a mail from adobe saying that my price for indesign will increase of 30% next month ! From 237€ to 314€ ! That is totally crasy and unacceptable.I will probable return to software less expensive but really efficient like product afinity publisher.Adobe, if you lose customer, it would be only your responsability. 

Hi everyone,unfortunately I have been experiencing some significant slowdown with a couple of Adobe fonts on InDesign, that lately (on InDesign 2025) are even causing the app to stuck with no chance to end working.The fonts involved are Canvas Inline and Crayonize. I have tried to disable any font preview already but with no luck. Any idea on how to solve?

Hi,I'd like to know if there's a way to resize shapes and text frames while maintaining a fixed centre point in InDesign? Illustrator allows you to resize in this way by holding down the Alt key while dragging the objects handles. Any tips on how to do something similar would be gratefully received.Many thanks,Tom

My indesign form has lots of checkboxes in a shape that I have selected in the library of different checkboxes. Now I want to change their appearance, but I don't want to remove and insert new boxes. I simply want to change the already existing check boxes to another look (also from the library). I don't understand how! In theory, I could just click on a different box selection. But no.Help, anyone?

Just a quick question about PDF articles. Am I missing something obvious here but when I export (interactive PDF) a document with articles from Indesign and then view it in Acrobat the Articles pane is empty?

I've tried changing the format of the paragraph, to no avail.2. Manually change them by putting the number in "caps". It looks the same. What has happened? Attached is a sample of "oddities". I'm really lost here.

I am preparing a book (InDesign Book) with multiple chapters (InDesign Documents) using endnotes.  At present the endnotes within each chapter are on a separate page at the end of the chapter.  The Endnote Positioning Options selected are - Scope: Document, Endnote Frame: On a New Page.  I would like the endnote numbering to be a single sequence throughout the book and all the endnotes from the whole book to be moved to a page after the last chapter of the book.  Can this be done?  If so, how?

Is there a way to open old Pagemaker files in any other program?  I'm using Windows 10 64 bit.  I cannot get PM6.5 to install even in compatability mode as admin.  Indesgn 2 says all my files are corrupt for some reason.  Is there a way to get Pagemaker to install on a 64bit system or something else that will open it?

I have design a one-page interactive PDF - it's a form for people to become members of a cultural association. So they fill out their details, it all looks nice and pretty. I have a button at the bottom that says "submit".  I want people to be able to click this button and for the whole form to be sent as a PDF to an email address. Is this possible within indesign?? Also, how come elements of my design show up in Acrobat but not in Preview for example? (logos, icons, submit button etc).  Thank you in advance. P.S. Please be nice. I've been a member of Adobe cloud since it started but this is my first community post. 

When I set the width and height for my Custom Page Size, then name it (1080 SOCIAL) and then select "Add" so that I can easily choose it again in the future... this happens:My custom name is cut off at the front, both in the list and on the newly made page. My name "1080 SOCIAL" became "80 SOCIAL" forevermore. If I try to modify it, it saves it again minus ANOTHER two first letters/numbers!!! So weird... I tried deleting it, adding a different name, rebooting, everything.Anyone else?
