Hi everyone, I am retrofitting a document. All the objects when selected show an annoying scaling percentage number. I would like to script through the whole document and reset all objects to 100%. I do not want to do this one object at a time. A contributor named vinny in 2017 offered this script solution: scaledElements = app.activeDocument.allPageItems; for (i = 0; i < scaledElements.length; i++) { scaledElements.redefineScaling(); } But it doesn't work in 2025. Can you help edit it?  

The question in the subject should say it all.  I want to turn off the text  [GPU Preview] which is added behind the name of the file in the tabs above. It takes up screen space for no reason.  I can't find any answers except to just turn off GPU.  Which so far I find has no difference.  2020 Macbook pro 13 with Monteray. 

I have a script that pushes the values of all paragraph style settings in an InDesign document to a CSV, but I can't get the numbered list format to export: case ListType.NUMBERED_LIST:arr.push("Numbered");switch (ps.NumberingFormat) {case NumberingStyle.ARABIC:arr.push("1, 2, 3, 4...");break;case NumberingStyle.SINGLE_LEADING_ZEROS:arr.push("01, 02, 03...");break;case NumberingStyle.UPPER_ROMAN:arr.push("I, II, III, IV...");break;case NumberingStyle.LOWER_ROMAN:arr.push("i, ii, iii, iv...");break;case NumberingStyle.UPPER_LETTERS:arr.push("A, B, C, D...");break;case NumberingStyle.LOWER_LETTERS:arr.push("a, b, c, d...");break;default:arr.push("Not found");} No matter the numbered list format chosen in the paragraph style, I get "Not found" populated in the CSV. I can't figure what I'm doing wrong. Example:Paragraph Style Options > Bullets and Numbering:List Type: NumbersFormat: A, B, C, D... What I'd expect in the CSV:List typeList TypeNumberedA, B, C, D...&nbsp

Since upgrading to 19.0 on Mac OS Ventura, if I work in Indesign, then leave it open in the background to work in another app, or let the computer go to sleep, I come back to find Indesign's application frame has moved. It moves downwards vertically, about half the screen height, so the base of the application frame is well below the bottom of the screen.One of those weird things that seems to happen every year when Adobe auto updates...

No matter what I do I cannot get Gujarati text to display correctly in InDesign. There are a certain group of ligatures that simply will not display when using Noto Sans Gujarati or Nirmala.    The correct characters appear in the Type > Glyphs panel, but when I insert the glyph the ligature is split incorrectly. For example, the character for the syllable "pra" પ્ર (0AAA + 0ACD + 0AB0) is being displayed as if the last two Unicode elements were flipped પર્ (0AAA, then 0AB0 + 0ACD).   Adobe World Ready Composer has been run (which does what it is supposed to do for 95% of the ligatures), the text has been set to Gujarati and I've run the indic preferences script. I have scrubbed preferences and reinstalled InDesign. I have deleted all the fonts and installed just one single font weight in case there was some kind of conflict. There are no fonts in the InDesign projects 'Fonts' folder.   This problem does not happen in Photoshop or Illustrator, which display

Hello Team, I am currently working on an Adobe InDesign plug-in designed to export PDFs to a specified location. Below are the details of my setup: InDesign SDK Version: plugin_sdk_19.3.0.58.zipmacOS Version: Sonoma 14.7.2InDesign Version: 19.5.1 The code functions as expected on Windows, successfully creating a PDF in the same directory as the InDesign file. However, on macOS, I encounter the error "Command processing failed," and no PDF is generated.I have confirmed that folder permissions are not the issue, as I can save InDesign files to the same location without any problems.Could you please provide guidance on how to troubleshoot this issue further? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.   ErrorCode status = kFailure; UIFlags uiFlags = kSuppressUI; InterfacePtr<ICommand> pdfExportCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kPDFExportCmdBoss)); if (!pdfExportCmd) { LOG_ERROR(LayerSetLogger::getLogger(), "Failed to create PDF export

HiI have a set of guides on Left Master Page and I would like to mirror the exact same on the Right Hand Master page. Currently I am doing it manually. There is a way mentioned in the following site but for some reason it is not working for me. The guides are not duplicating in the correct position and all the guides are not copying. Also it is not duplicating the guides, its moving them. I want exact mirrored replica on the right hand side. This is not working for me (a video demonstration might be helpful):https://creativepro.com/mirroring-guides/  

Hi,I have completed over 500 buttons that have "destination" to different pages, and I just realized that all of them are using the wrong event, "click" instead of "tap and release". Is there a way to change the event without having to redo all of them one by one (including re-entering the destination)? Thanks

All of a sudden, I can't print 6 x 12" documents from InDesign. The print dialog box diagram shows my custom size document will be printed on letter size paper. If I change the paper size in "Setup", it still remains as letter. It's not the printer, I can print 6 x 12" documents in other programs. I've reinstalled both the printer driver and InDesign, with no change. I've reset preferences. 

I want to place it onto an indesign file that is 8.5 x 11 and when i use the place multi page pdf script it appears invisible and i have no idea why.

URGENT!!! Good afternoon.  I made a catalog in InDesign, it has 590 pages and several photos. I could open the editable without problems never noticed the gbs of the file. Until after probably a week of not touching the file, changes were requested and, to my surprise, now it does not open and has 41gb of file size. At that time, a new license was requested in the company I work and all the programs were installed again, I don't know if it may have something to do with it.  When I try to open the file, a progress bar appears and just keeps loading forever. However, after a couple hours, it did finish loading but then I got a error message saying: “InDesign is unable to open the file because you do not have sufficient disk space. Free up some space and try to open the file again”. My question is, since I didn’t check the file size before, it had to abruptly go to 41gb, right? I never worked with a file so big, how would it even open with, let’s say, 30

Hi All,  I am trying tp place my chapters into my indesign template for my PhD thesis. The chapters are written in word, and use paragraph and character styles. When I go to place the word doc into indesign, if i use style mapping or even import styles, then for some reason when I go to place the text, it will only place the first few paragraphs from the word document? (yes im holding down shift when I place so it flows over). If I place without preserving any of the formatting- so just as 'plain text', then it will read the whole word doc.... but with each chapter being 10 000 words, and having multiple section headings, and character formats etc, I reeeeallly dont want to have to go through and manually change it if I dont have to...  Im hoping I have missed something glaringly obvious from all the online tutorials and forums I have followed! (Also I tried resetting preferences and that didnt seem to make any difference either).  thanks in adva

Hi all,I was wondering if any of you scripters would know how to add in a piece of code that would allow me to generate a page size variable,I have already found a script that adds in a user name to my slug but i dont know how to add one for page size as im not fluent in JavaScript.Any help would be much appreciated!! see current script below:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------#targetengine 'usernameVariable'//This function adds static text variables in InDesign//They won't be dynamically updated though.//That's why we need the updating function belowfunction addVariables(openEvent){        var doc = openEvent.parent;        while ( doc.constructor.name != "Document" )    {        if ( doc.constructor.name == "Application" ){ return; }              doc = doc.parent; &

Hello peopleI had been working on creating a multple page magazine template for Uni Projects, put in quite som efforts to make good layouts, but one day ramdomly the file suddenly becomes unopenable and randomly crashed the program without any clear diagnosis ( see the vid I attach!) and I cannot work on it anymore. Has anyone encountered such problems before?

Hello,How do I change the 'Edit with' option when right-clicking an image in InDesign?My work PC, when I right click an image I get the helpful option to edit with Photoshop, but when I'm on my home PC I get less than helpful options like paint and notepad.When I click the 'Other' option I have to find the Photoshop.exe file but there are no options to make this the default setting (Like you typically do on windows when selecting a new file type > program)Anyone know how I can do this as I often switch between the two.I've checked through the preferences but haven't found the option.Photoshop CCIndesign CC Both updated to latest versionsThanks

InDesign 2025: Fußnotenformatierung funktioniert nicht! Im Menü Fußnotenoptionen wird bei der Eingabe Fußnotenformatierung das Absatzformat nicht angewendet. Erst wenn Fußnoten in Endnoten konveriert wird und dann wieder in Fußnoten umgewandelt wird, erkennt es das angelegte Absatzformat für Fußnoten.

Hello everyone! I'd like to override only Running Header variable on certain pages without overriding every single element on a page. Is that possible? I know i can create separate parent page with Running Header replaced with Section, but maybe there is something easier than that...

One of my students pointed this out to me the other day... They were using InDesign 2025 (MAC and PC). I tried it on my end, I was usin InDesign 2024 (just the MAC).   I created a 'Facing Pages' document with 8 pages, and it stuck like that I created a 'Primary Pages' document with 8 pages, and if I either wait a second or click on any pagesthumbnails, it changes to 1 page document! See the attached video. Is this something new for 'Primary Pages'
