Questions

Hi all, I would love your insight on something. I have came accross a bit of a problem while designing a digital planner. On this planner (document 1), I've added text anchors hyperlinks in the document, linking to anchors in this document. It works great, no problem at all (when exported as a PDF). I have created another document (document 2 - additionnal pages for my planner that people can add to their planner if they choose to), that link to the text anchors created in the first document. I've selected "document 1" when creating the hyperlinks in document 2, but after exporting it as a PDF, the hyperlinks don't work anymore (I've included document2.pdf in document1.pdf). Is this normal? Is there a way to do what I want to do? I've tried so many things, and yet it doesn't work... I hope it's clear! Thanks in advance for your help. Yuna

InDesign's Feature Generative Fill is usefull, but the files are in a place difficult to access (C:\Users\admin\Documents\InDesign-GenAI-Assets\...) and the long file names make it difficult to identify when they are many. When cooperating with others, they are needed: it would make sense to have them in the folder of the indd. Or somewhere configurable.

I'm trying to fill table cells like this post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/how-do-i-make-a-diagonal-lines-fill/td-p/6731341 Is this possible to do it in Adobe InDesign as well? I've tried looking everywhere but I haven't been lucky. Thanks so much!

I understand that Adobe fonts will not package, but that is not the issue I'm having. Until very recently, I would always get a "Document Fonts" folder for those fonts used in a file that are installed on my system. In fact,  the last issue of this publication I packaged 2 months ago contained a Document Fonts folder, but not with this most recent job. The summary reads 22 fonts used, with 0 protected, missing etc. I'm kind of at a loss as to why it no longer pcreates a Document Fonts folder at all when I package. Help!

Hi, I am in the process of designing my first book (non fiction) in Indesign. Earlier this week I came across the topic of justification and realized that it was something my text blocks required. I did some research, but overall, this topic is still a bit unclear and I want to make sure its setup correctly. Questions: Is there a specific percentage I should avoid going over or under in the various options in the justification settings?Are there specific things I should look out for?How can I ensure that I have no H&J violations? It always seems that when I adjust it one way, somehting else gets violated.In general, I don’t have much knowledge about this topic besides reading a few things online, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.Thank you very much for any help in this area! 

Hi,I am sure this question has been asked in the past. I couldn't really find a solution. I have a document that needs to be in UK English. The text came from different sources and some have used US English. I have changed the language to UK English in Preference, selected every word in the document and converted it to UK English and even changed the Paragraph Styles. Inspite of all this, US English words do not show up when I run a spell-check and are not highlighted with 'Dynamic Spelling' switched on.  Has anyone had any luck with this problem?  Thanks,Vijay.

Hello,I would like to know if is still possible to download InDesign 18.x from the Creative Cloud.We are having problems with Indian languages where some characters/ligatures show corrupted in versions 19 and 20 but not in 18.It doesn't matter what font we use or what paragraph composer, the corruption is still there.For what I can see in Creative Cloud the earliest version you can download is 19.0.Thanks

How can I write a JavaScript script for InDesign to export JPEGs while ensuring that any leftover text in the "Suffix" field from previous exports (e.g., "_^P" left after exporting pages) is cleared or replaced? Currently, when I use an export script, it adds "_01" to every image due to this leftover input. Is there a way to access and modify the value in the "Suffix" field through the script? Any help will be appreciated. 

Hi (sorry I'm so frustrated), so the elements on a page ie. 20mm down and 20 mm in, from the upper left corner, is described in the toolbox by X: as 63,5 and by Y:126,5 - numbers that i have no clue what means. It is very disturbing for the flow of creation. I have worked with Adobe products since 1995.... Do you have any clue? Can you help me get the numbers match?Thanx, Marina 🙂

Bonjour, j'ai un problème lorsque j'exporte une image depuis Indesign en PJEG. J'obtiens une image avec des légers décalages (surtout visible en basse déf). J'ai essayé différentes version d'Indesign et photoshop mais toujours le même bug.Du coup je suis obligé d'enregistrer sous eps et ouvriri sous photoshop. Laborieux.Surtout que j'utilise énormement cette option d'export JPEG pour les différents contenus RS.Avez-vous une solution?MerciS.

Since updating my macOS in December to the latest version I get the following message whenever I try to open an InDesign file that is on a network volume:  Apple could not verify “xxx.indd” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.

Hello - I recently noticed that creating a new InDesign from scratch with nothing in it is resulting in a immesely bloated file at 800 MB. I de-installed InDesign and re-installed and this is not changing anything. Help!

I have been experiencing strange display and performance bugs, and can't seem to figure out why this is happening.   In the middle of working on a catalog, a few of my pages suddenly have strange coloring to them, like the Hue/Saturation and Contrast have been majorly messed with. It only affects a few pages, not the entire document, and it eventually goes away either on it's own volition, or if I save and exit then re-enter the document.    Small screenshot of the document when behaving normally: Aaaaand when it's not behaving normally:   Not sure if this is related or not, but the app also will not retain my Display Performance settings. I tried adjusting this in the Preferences dialog box hoping it would make the entire document high quality, but it has absolutely no affect. The only way it works is if I select the individual photo and choose High Quality. Even then, every time i exit and re-enter the document, everything is low quality again.   Scree

Hello, yesterday I updated my creative cloud apps, I also updated my MacBook Pro to Sequoia. Ever since I have not been able to load most of my documents. Indesign crashes while loading most of the times, and when sometimes it does load, than it goes on the spinning wheel as soon as I try to open any document. I have to force quit every time.  I have already removed Indesign 2025 and installed Indesign 2024, problem stays. I have opened it with shift+control+option+command, problem stays, I have tried every possible version of Indesign, the problem occurs with every version. I seem to have simular issues with Illustrator also.    The only other option I see is downgrading the iOS again, but thats the last thing i want to do, anyone has other options?  Thanks a lot!      <Title renamed by MOD>

If a table uses "Skip Header Row on Page 1" feature,but the table only takes up 1 page (or 1 column), It will lead to duplication in the table of contents.Waiting for an official fix for this bug may be too long.Is there a script to find these tables and then unskip the page 1 header rows?Initially it may have been correctly needed.They didn't take up 2 pages (2 columns) later because the layout moved.But you don't know which ones made the setting

For whatever reason, a random black horizontal line has appeared in my ID document, and I can't seem to remove it. It's appearing at the bottom of the text of the left-most column of a two-column page, yet it seems to extend beyond the column divider. I've unchecked/ removed the horizontal line that appears in footnote style windows, and also unchecked any lines that might accompany columns (the little red line was made manually). Where is this black line coming from and how can I remove it?? Screengrab of black line included below:
