Hi! The problem...I have an InDesign document which 100s of pages and different text stories. I can export or print a PDF document which looks just fine. However, the text in the PDF is not searchable. I am not sure why. Maybe it is down to embedding restrictions in the font or the way the PDF engine is handling stylistic alternates as I do not get this problem with other fonts. The font is a Unicode font, by the way. The issue...Although the text can be viewed as a PDF, it needs to be indexed by a 3rd-party without InDesign or the fonts. Ideally, they would be able to work from the PDF searching for words and phrases using the search feature and then noting the page number. A solution?For the purposes of creating an index what would be the best work around in lieu of a PDF? Exporting to rich text or plain text would be an option if the page numbers could be noted. But what would the procedure be for a script?  Possbile procedure in words...Export to text fileC

I have a script on every user account to call a script from a server, so every user has the same Version and doesnt need to install every updated script manually. I assume an Update of InDesign or Mac, after years of flawless working it stops telling me:"incompatible or not supported script language". Script: var myScript = new File ("Marketing:Scripting:CI:ci work.jsx"); if (myScript.exists) { app.doScript(myScript ,ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT) } 

Hi, I switched my account to English with Hebrew support and I still can't create text from right to left or have a cover that opens from the right. I would appreciate help, thanks

Hi! I’m working on a JSX script to replicate a specific object, and I’m having trouble understanding the dependencies between TextFrame and Oval objects.What I’m trying to achieve is something similar to creating shape-bound text in Illustrator: for example, putting text inside a circle or oval shape. In Illustrator, this is usually done by drawing the shape (e.g., a circle) and then using the text tool to add text inside it.I want to replicate this in code but I’m not sure how to handle the relationship between the TextFrame and the Oval objects. How can I achieve this effect in a JSX script?  Thanks!Best Regard,Amy

Hi everyone,I am facing a crash issue with Adobe InDesign 2025 using plug-ins on Windows. The first time I create a layout using Job Details/Export(plug-ins functionality), it works fine. But when I try to create a layout second time, the application crashes.This issue doesn’t happen with the Adobe InDesign 2024 plug-ins on Windows.I checked the crash report from Adobe, but it didn’t provide any useful details.Can anyone suggest how to fix this or let me know where I can find the logs for Adobe InDesign 2025?Thanks!

Hi I uploaded a photo to my InDesign document and put a frame around it. Now I want to download that photo complete with frame. Is that possible? I have googled to try to find an answer incl Adobe info, looked in File/Export etc. The only option I can find is to download the whole document as jpg which I don't want to do. Another question - where are the photos and graphics you upload into a document stored in InDesign? I know where the Uploads folder is in Adobe Express but can't find in Indesign. Lastly, if I unlink an image from one document - does it unlink it from all other documents? I am doing tutorials including Adobe's.

I'm running a Copilot+ PC with the Snapdragon X chipset and having issues with the latest Indesign v20.1 which is throwing an error (see screenshot). The publication indicates no errors itself though and has previously been exported without a problem.

I am getting ready to sell my printing, typesetting, layout and design company of 46 years and retire. I would like to get your opinion on how to you value the following into the selling price of the business:I have been using this software since day 1 of Aldus PageMaker 1.0. I have been storing all native files (.indd, .ai, .psd, etc), graphics, fonts, etc. . . . used for production for 40+ years (well over 1 terabyte in size).

Running an M3 Macbook and after upgrading to ID20 data merge has stopped working. I create the document, asign all the placeholders and when I attach the csv file everything looks fine when I preview through each. I then click "Create Merged Document" and nothing happens. Tried reinstalling ID, tried creating a fresh document. Nothing seems to work and there's no error prompts. I've had to import my documents back into a copy of ID19.5 to merge them. Anyone had this issue or know of a solution?

Hi, Where are the front cover, back cover, and spine placed in a book layout in InDesign? Sould it be its own file?  Thanks! 

Well this is an annoying problem.  I'm working with a bunch of Arabic text copied from a Word doc and pasted into InDesign CC.  And while the text is flowing in the right direction, the periods insist on winding up on the right margin at the end of the text instead of after the last character in the sentence, at the end of the line to the left.I've set the character to Adobe Arabic Regular, the text to right justify, the Language under Character to Arabic, and the Paragraphs to Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer.In Googling for solutions, I see instructions to Select the paragraph direction from the Paragraph panel (not an option in my Paragraph panel), choose Character Direction from the Character panel (also not an option), From the Story panel (Window > Type & Tables > Story), click a story direction (not available).  I've also tried adding spacing and hard returns before and after the period character, changing that character to another font and re-placin

Hi guys,I have some issues (both in digital and offset printing) with a poster that includes: a black and white image + color graphics.– When I export my print .pdf file with a CMYK color profile, I get a deep black but I always end up with a color cast on the black and white image, as a result of the printing process (the color cast can be C, M or Y in different cases).– I can't export the whole print file with a grayscale color profile, because the poster includes not only the black and white image but also some color graphics.Also, even if the poster was only black and white: with a grayscale color profile there is no color cast on the black and white photo, but apparently I can't get a deep black, which is only achieved by adding C+M+Y (almost 70% of each color to reach a total black of 300%). Is this correct? Is there any difference if I import a grayscale .tif into my .indd file and then convert it to 300% black using the corresponding color swatch? I have tried several expo

Hi,I would like to set up something like this for my book layout. I know how to create a basic rectangle box, but I want to achieve having the text on top, where the line doesn’t go through the text. How can I achieve that in InDesign and also create a style so I can reuse it across my book Thank you! 

Suppose I "Place" page 3 out of a 44 pages PDF document and then, later, need to change to page 10.How is that ever possible without going through the Import procedure over?I must be missing something really ovbious. Also, I often import a given Artboard number out of an Adobe Illustrator document: how could I later change my mind and instead get another Artboard out of the same document WITHOUT going through the Import process over? I don't think it's possible at all... Have not seen how to do this... BTW, I'm currently running 19.5 on Windows: is the new "Open PDF" (natively) in this version or only in the Beta?

I recently upgraded to InDesign 2024. I use BetterSnapTool to arrange my app-windows in order to have a efficient and practical workflow. But InDesign 2024 does not work with BetterSnapTool (BST) or any other window-snapping apps due to this reason I received from the BST support:"Unfortunately all window manager apps on macOS are affected by this, Adobe has broken their window resizing behavior in their recent updates. Their products do not respond correctly to window resizing requests using the macOS Accessibility API anymore. As of now I don't think there is anything I can do to fix this. If possible please also report to Adobe, they would need to fix this in their apps." BST works with every other application. I have reset InDesign preferences, but it still does not work properly. Therefore I still use InDesign 2023, since BST works perfectly fine with that application. The problem is that when I for instance snap ID2024 to 2/3 of the screen and I put another application in 1/3 of

Hey team,  I want my bullets (in my paragraph stlye) to inherit the stying attributes (in this case colour) from the character style that I am using to colour the entire paragraph. This is appose to creating a new character style for the bullet.  So as an example, I have a P-style called body and 2 C-styles called blue and magenta. This lets me keep the paragraph style the same but alter the colour. However it seems overly labourious to create C-styles just for the bullets so they match.  Any ideas? 

I’m working on a multi-page document in InDesign and need to link text boxes across several pages so the text flows automatically as I add or edit content. Could someone explain the process for creating linked text frames and any tips for managing large amounts of text efficiently? Are there shortcuts or tools to streamline this workflow? Thanks in advance!

bonjour, j'ai suivi un tuto pour réaliser un document pdf interactif ( https://www.adobe.com/fr/learn/indesign/web/make-a-dynamic-presentation?locale=fr&learnIn=1) mais une fois exporté au format Adobe PDF(interactif), le document ne fonctionne pas. Les changements d'états ne se font lors du clic sur les boutons de navigation alors que c'est ok lors du test avec l'aperçu de l'interactivité EPUB. Y at'il une opération spécifique pour l'exportation au format PDF interactif ?

Hallo liebes Forum, ich arbeite mit der InDesign CC Version 18.3 und habe seit einigen Wochen das Problem, dass meine Indesign Dokumente nur noch "schreibgeschützt" öffnen. Das war bisher nicht so.Sobald ich die InDesign Dokumente nach dem Bearbeiten unter dem selben Namen speichen möchte, erscheint die Meldung      Allerdings sind die Dokumente nicht in anderen Anwendungen geöffnet (nur ich arbeite mit den Dateien) und liegen auf einem Server ab.Hat jemand eine Idee, wie man das Problem beheben kann?

We use CSV table imports for a bunch of text and logos, and the logos would not import under 19.x. We did the fix of deleting Enable_Posix_Path and it worked as expected. Unfortunately, now that is no longer a valid fix for 20.x.It would be unfeasable for us to fix how we do the paths in the CSV files we use (there are thousands, and we use OneDrive, so everyone's Mac has a different user folder, so you cannot update the path to work for everyone).  Is there any help available for this? Thanks!
