I'm trying to understand why IND will update links automatically the first time I save, but if I go back and edit the image again I have to go into the Links panel, select the image and click the update button each time. Is there a way to make IND automatically update each time so I can avoid the extra clicks? Sometimes I will go adjust a PS image multiple times to see how it looks in IND.

Hi,  Brand new to Indesign Plugin development. I'm trying to get an instance of the kDocBoss class, but how do I go about doing so in code?

Hello Indesign gurus,I have several Indesign docs with hyperlinks linking to pages between them. The links work in the source docs -- i.e. they jump to the right page in a different doc.But after compiling those docs together into an InDesign book and exporting to interactive PDF, those links no longer work (they default to the cover page).  Hyperlinks to URLs continue to work.There are a lot of links; is there a way to restore their function from the source doc or in the creation of the book PDF? Specs: Mac OS Sequoia. 15.1.1; InDesign v20.0.1 Many thanks in advance for help in this urgent matter!Angela

How can I remove an image (or rather a link to an image) generated by GenAI from an InDesign document that is only visible in the "Links" panel? The original is deleted from my computer and from the document, but it is displayed in the "Links" panel and there is no image frame in the document (it does not show the page). It is also not in the "Text to Image" panel. I have no idea how to get this to work.Thanks in advance for your tipsTomasz

Hi! I hope this makes sense: I have set up a 'bullet one' paragraph style that after the list of bullets includes a 1 basline grid gap before the next paragraph style. I have a 'bullet two' paragraph sstyle that is more will apply to lists within the list. When I apply this style I do not want the space after bullet one to apply specifically when followed by bullet two. Is there a way to do this? without have to create a second version of the bullet one style.You cant put a negative number in the space before command for bullet two but this is kind of what Im after? Im using InDesign 18.5.1

I have a long image that I'd like to split in order to print on several pages as it's too long for a single page. So for example, I'd like the top third of the image on page 1, the middle third on page 2 and the bottom third on page 3. Is there a straightforward way of doing this?  My starting point was a simple paste to put the image an a single page but I cannot see how progress from there. (image attached). I have looked at creating a spread but cannot see how to get the image to spread beyond the first page. I am fairly novice at InDesign so I'm not really familiar enough to look for the right things to search for. I'm using InDesign 2024 on Windows 10 64-bit Can anyone help? Thanks

My document has threaded copy throughout. There was overset text on the last page, when I went to create another textbox to link it, it automatically threaded to something off the page (indicated by red line). I thought maybe there is a hidden text frame but have not found anything. I also used the breaking thread script, but that didn't work. I replaced the text frame and still nothing. I selected all on the page, got nothing. I even cleared out object styles, and paragraph styles, but it still keeps threading outside of the artboard. Please help! 

Hello! I really hope someone can help me.My end goal is to make a PDF of an Indesign book file that has been re-ordered for perfect bound signatures with 16 pages in each. In the past I've been able to do this through Print Booklet --> Create a PostScript File with all my settings --> then save it as a PDF from there. My problem is, I'm on a new computer now and I cannot customize page sizes or options for post script files (It's an 8.5x11 file but the PostScript file always comes out portrait orientation and cuts off part of the book (Basically won't rotate)I tried the "Solution" where you create a PPDs folder in the Presets of Indesign and then download ADPDF9.PPD . It does not work for me for an unknown reason, I still only see "Device Dependent" under PPD Options.Please help!

I have a file with several hyperlinks imported from a Word document. Is there a ways to export a list of all the hyperlinks that includes the source, the destination (url, email, location) and the page the source appears on in the InDesign file? Something similar to the Hyperlinks panel with the destination viewable in a list. Exported file can be text or csv. I don't script so am not sure if this can be done or may already exist. Thanks in advance. InDesign CC

Working in InDesign CC 2015.2 Release. OS: Windows 8, V. 6.3.Every time I try to open the Effects dialog box, it opens on my primary screen and only shows the bottom half of the window. I can't move the window by grabbing and moving it with my mouse; I've tried more configuration changes than I can even recall, and absolutely nothing is allowing me to move this window so I can see the whole thing.Any suggestions? I literally cannot use the effects because I can't see the entire dialog box to make selections. It's driving me bonkers.

Hi there I was hoping to find a fix for this. I have noticed when placing a document from Microsoft Word into Indesign all images, when exported to pdf, turn blue. Is there a way around this or do I have to first save all images  from the Word document into a folder and add them as seperate links?  Thank you

I am working on a catalog with around 700 text hyperlinks to web URLs that I inserted by hand which is a tedious and time consuming process. I first had the part with the hyperlinks in a separate document for easier management. When the linking was finished I copied the whole text with the links over into the layout of the final catalog. After that I noticed that a substantial part of those links was missing for no apparent reason and with no system behind it. I had to fix those links in the layout. I typically regularly save numerbed versions of my layouts to document my progress. Now I notice that again a huge part of the links is gone simply by saving the document into a new version. What is going on there?   <Title renamed by MOD>

I've had lots of problems with InDesign's Table of Contents generator, but this is a new one! In addition to the correct page number of where the heading appears in text, the tool added another tab and then the page number of the Table of Contents itself. Has this happened to anyone else and do you know how to fix? Photo attached, the black bars were added by me. Running InDesign 20.0.1 on Mac Sonoma 14.7.2

Hello I'm running the latest InDeisgn 2025 on a macbook pro (Apple M1 Pro) and have noticed that my force paragraph return shortcut is not working.  And it's only this one shortcut from what I have experience. It's been like this for many months now, and I've been using the dropdown menu to select this manually which takes up a little time. I've tried restarting InDesign while holding down Shirft + Control + Option + Command but this has not affected anything. Also, I'm not sure how I would check for conflicting shortcuts from other software (such as Webex).Any suggestions?Thanks

I am a beginner. Following a well-done tutorial. Snag....the paragraphs line up perfectly right side and on the spine side until the last sentence at the end of the paragraph example.sort                  better                                end.        I am hoping someone can advise me on how to fix this.

Hello, I'm working with Indesign 20.0.1 on a Macbook Pro 14" 2024 and Sequoia 15.1.1.Please find bellow fullscreen shots that describe the problem.01 : I'm working with a 3840x2160 HDMI external monitor.02 : I'm often using the shortcut Shift+W to see the current page in presentation mode.03 : When I'm pressing again the shortcut to exit fullscreen, Indesign's window is reduced,and I have to extend it to fit again the screen (shot 01).It also happens on my old Macbook Pro laptop.This is wasting time in my workflow, does anyone work with the same setup and an external monitor to see if this happens too.Thanks!!!       

How do I achieve continuous numbering for my Figures when the figure captions are in individual text boxes?  I set up my Figure paragraph style to be a numbered list starting with the word "Figure". But the numbering starts over in every individual text box (as shown in the image).  I've explored anchoring the objects to the page, but this requires that I format the figure IN LINE with other text. What I like about the individual text box is, I can position it anywhere on the page, allowing for more design flexibility with my images. 

how do I alter the position of the text in the text field when exporting to a PDF? 

what would be the standrd size margins I would use for a book?

Bonjour,J'ai créé un style de paragraphe avec une numérotation comme ceci : Tableau ^# alors à chaque tableau le numéro se met automatiquement. Tout fonctionne sur mon gabarit 8 1/2 X 11, mais lorsque j'arrive à mon gabarit 11 x 17, il repart au Tableau 1. De plus, j'ai 3 tableaux sur ma page 11 X 17 et ils sont tous nommés Tableau 1. Je ne comprends pas...Merci beaucoup!

I couldn't find scripts to reduce the number of character and paragraph styles, and parent pages across multiple documents without reducing unused styles I might need later which were in use in other book documents. I found a few scripts and community posts that would reduce the style or parent page by comparing only within one document at a time. What I couldn't find were scripts to iterate through a set of documents and keep styles or parents in use across all documents and remove the unused across all open documents. So I tried my hand at authoring scripts with help from an LLM. My goals in these scripts are in context of managing book documents and combining various documents and then reducing clutter. I didn't want to figure out how to iterate through book documents or handle opening and saving a document if it wasn't open already, so I stuck to the documents that are open at the time the script runs. I wish reducing unused styles and parents across multiple documents wa

It would be nice if InDesign had the ability to colorize paragraph and character style folders like Photoshop has in layers. What do you think?
