I've looked up every tutorial I can find and they all say "save as ---> Save to the cloud" but saving to the cloud isn't an option."Save As" just brings me my computer system and the only options I have are to save to various files on my computer or to Apple's iCloud.😞

How do I get the text in an InDesign document with 44 endnotes, each of which has text with hyperlinks, into Word format such that the footnotes remain "smart" and the hyperlinks are still embedded?I have tried everything. Word, Google Docs, RTF, text only, INDD markup, INDD tagged text, etc. etc. Either I get the footnotes to be "smart" or the hyperlinks to remain embedded, but not both.

Hello, Viewing in Photoshop (100%):  Viewing in InDesign (300%, same screen size as PS):  Viewing at 100% in InDesign:  Why do fonts now appear jagged and irregular in Indesign? I've used other fonts — same problem.I’m using a previous version because the latest version has bugs — especially when using high-quality display.How can I fix this? I want to use anti-aliasing for fonts whenever possible. Adobe Indesign 20.0 x64Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.2.0 20241207.r.140 bc85906 x64Operating System: Windows 10 64-bitGPUName: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 

Hi,For some glyphs in Indesign, I get the message that Opentype properties are not applicable. I can open the Glyphs panel and double-click on the Glyph I want and have it written in the textbox. I can also easily select the glyph in Illustrator.Is there a setting that I do not know of? I am quite new to Illustrator.

I am experiencing visualization errors when scrolling/zooming my document (also happens when moving objects). Tried deactivating GPU in preferences, but no luck.Tried to uninstall and reinstall Indesign but still no luck.I work with a macbook pro with a Benq 32" external screen attached with HDMI, and the bug only seem to happen on the external screen. This never happened before and I didn't do any hardware change, so I'm at a loss.Any idea on how to resolve this? Indesign version is 17.0.1Mac Os Version: Monterey 12.1Mac details:Model Name: MacBook Pro  Model Identifier: MacBookPro16,1  Processor Name: 6-Core Intel Core i7  Processor Speed: 2.6 GHz  Number of Processors: 1  Total Number of Cores: 6  L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB  L3 Cache: 12 MB  Hyper-Threading Technology: Enabled  Memory: 16 GB  System Firmware Version: 1715.60.5.0.0 (iBridge: 19.16.10647.0.0,0)  OS Loader Version: 540.60.2~89Chipset Model: AMD Radeon Pr

otice in the example I gave thatWhen there is no table:The bottom of the left page is aligned.When the table is inserted, the bottom of the right page is not aligned.In the past I would adjust the line spacing before and after the table to roughly align, but with 100 tables I'm at a loss. And the client is always changing it around, making you go crazy a few firsts. I tried the first row baseline, but it is difficult to achieve automatic alignment because of the variable number of tables and rows per page. Finally I tried grid layout and the bottom automatically aligns.But another problem comes, the table is fixed in the grid, you can't move him, sometimes the table before and after spacing is not the same, it's hard to see.You can only adjust the row height, the space before and after the table. Do you guys have a good solution, can you share it.Thank you very much.

Hi everyone,I’m currently learning Adobe InDesign and have a basic understanding of  it like master pages, adding page numbers and using paragraph and character styles. I’m discussing a potential project to redesign a lengthy and detailed document (attached as a PDF) into a concise and visually appealing layout using InDesign. I would greatly appreciate suggestions on how to approach this redesign, particularly for organizing content effectively and creating a polished layout. Any tips on workflows, tools, or design techniques would be fantastic!I thought this would be a great place to seek guidance since the community here has such valuable expertise.Thank you in advance—I truly appreciate your help!

Using CS25 Indesign to produce a book exported to PDF.  There are about 20 chapters.  The same master is used for all pages: facing pages.  Page numbering is set up consistently and correct: odd pages start on right, etc.When exported to PDF as a spread.  Some of the chapter breaks work just fine.  But then, sometimes the last page of a chapter prints as a single page, and the first page of the next chapter prints as a single page.  And then it reverts correctly to a spread.  In the course of the 140 pages of the book, this odd behavior is repeated for about 10 of the 20 chapters.  I've checked everything I can think of: in pages panel "allow pages to shuffle" is checked.  Obviously I'm doing something inconsistently but I can't find out just what I'm doing to cause this sometimes OK and sometimes not OK performance.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I often use bulleted lists with the commmand/backslash (hanging indent) tool. If the text is aligned left, no problem. But when I use left justify, it sends some of the words off to the right — outside of the text frame! Please see examples below.I cannot find a fix for this or imagine why it's happening. I can only figure that it is a bug. Is anyone else having this problem? I haven't been able to find any other record of it in my searches.I've been having this problem for a while. Before I updated to InDesign 2018 and after the update as well. I'm running El Capitan 10.11.6 on a Mid 2011 iMac.Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of replacement text (atoms) in InDesign GREP? I'm trying to parse data into 17 separate replacement text (atoms) but InDesign only seems to recognize $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, and $9. InDesign GREP does not recognize $10, $11, $12, $13, etc. What InDesign GREP does instead is to insert $1 plus the number 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. So it seems that InDesign GREP has a limit of 9 replacement text (atoms). Is there a way to get InDesign to recognize more than 9? I know I can probably accomplish this in two separate searches, but I would rather do it correctly in one search. Here's my GREP example: FIND: ^(.{2})(.{11})(.{21})(.{8})(.{4})(.{11})(.{6})(.{5})(.{5})(.{11})(.{8})(.{37})(.{13})(.{14})(.{4})(.{10})(.*)\r CHANGE: $1\t$2\t$3\t$4\t$5\t$6\t$7\t$8\t$9\t$10\t$11\t$12\t$13\t$14\t$15\t$16\t$17\r EXMAPLE DATA (inside the brackets): [ 101317 ABC BRAKES USA LTD ABC 754 1 4C FULL 4C RU 11 STOP FAST 9 188216-XXXX-090600 XXXX 090030 C3 PROOF

Hi, Anyone know the best practices (or tools) to calculate different font sizes, leading, columns and baseline size and can share it? I am struggling to create something that is better than the template I already have and everytime I try make a new templae, something ends up misaligned.

Hi,This week for the third time a client asked me to deliver the final text of a book, from InDesign, into a Word-document.Mostly no problem (save as PDF/X-4.0:2001 and then export to Word).But those three book contain more then 100 footnotes (and/or endnotes).Do you know if there is a solution for this? Or an extension?I’ve looked but didn’t find anything at this moment.I tried the Recosoft trial version, but it ignores all footnotes.

I have completed working on 250 pages on Indesign, this morning opened my file and saw entire document is had 20057 Overset text...looks like all of the fonts looks bigger than it was before. I use Gesta Font from Adobe stock. Font values are still the same. Every version that I have saved now has the same problem.I don't know what to do at this moment. Probably getting fired, they are not gonna understand what happened or belive me. Asking them manually 2-3 days to fixing it not an option.  

I want to take a multiple choice test in which I add up the points obtained from the correct answers. How can I do this for an EPUB?

Hi,I created a couple of tables in InDesign. Now I was asked if I could export them as PNG for the company. What is the best method to do this?

I previously posted about losing my InDesign file icons when updating from InDesign 2023 to 2024. I was able to fix it, but it has happened again, this time after installing the new 2024 update this morning, and this time, I can't seem to fix it. I am running Windows 10. I have uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign, but that didn't fix it. I did however, elect to keep my preferences when uninstalling - don't know if that could affect things. A couple of differences - this time, when I add the shortcut to the bottom bar, the icon is also gone - it just shows up as the blank white icon. But if I create a shortcut on the desktop it shows up.  Also, regarding the initial installation of the update - it froze at about 82% complete and was stuck there. Eventually I tried to cancel, but it got stuck on cancelling. So I restarted the computer. At that point the icon was blank on the bottom bar. I figured it would return after I completed the update installation. So I we

I can't overwrite pdf files from the export menu it says 'file is still open' I've had this issue before and it is back - It is so annoying. I've tried closing both indesign and Acrobat - same issue again and again. My Only option is renaming the file. Meaning myworkflow file name structure is effected. Surely there must be a fix by now for this ? indesign 19.5.  Stephen McEwan   

Hi everyone, My team and I are also experiencing this issue. Indesign 2024. I was wondering if it could be a clash with Incopy? We have writers who go in and edit copy in our documents using Incopy and these are the only documents we have the corruption on. We were working on Onedrive, but had too many issues so have moved to Dropbox. We are very careful to make sure everything is synched and assignments are updated before saving or exporting but every now and then the file corrupts. It's an 80 odd page document and the Indd file is 100mb. It's a lot of work to rebuild. Thanks for your advice, opinion

  CC reports a font could not be activated due to a conflict, yet the "Activating Font" task is stuck until I quit InDesign. When I try to export a PDF, it is stuck behind these never-ending tasks in the queue, thus preventing me from exporting it. Bug? (MacOS Catalina 10.15.4, Indesign 15.1.1)     {Renamed by MOD}  

This drives me crazy. After typing a letter and creating ounlines I get my anchor points. With the direct selection tool clicking on the anchor (only that singel one is solid, others are hollow) I simply cant drag it with my mouse. I can drag the bazier anchor point without problem, but not the anchor points itself. Im clearly missing something, please help me (inDesign v.20.0.1) That weird too, holding the shift key im able to move the seletcted anchor point, but only vertically in a line. Not horizontally, nothing with 45°.  Thanks in advance 

My understanding is indesign dropshadow effect needs to be updated for the option: size within the dropshadow panel to be able to accept 0 - 1000 points for scripts. You can input higher numbers within the size by doing it manually but not with scripts for whatever reason. It will only accepts 0-144 point or 2 inches within the code.Indesign CC 2025Run the attached script a 100 in height image and you'll get the error.On the dropshadow applied to have the distance 5.0 in and size 5.0Distance: 5.0 in and Size: 0.0694 inScript attached.I have a script to automatically apply dropshadows and we have a formula where we take the height of the image and multiply that by 5% which gets placed in the Distance and Size. This works for smaller images but when there are larger images the number it puts into the distance works but the size seems to be limited to 2 inches. But if I do it manually it can go up to 13.8889″for the sizeI get this error: ERROR in applyDropShadow: Error: Invalid value for
