Questions

I am a novice in indesign and I am trying to modify an existing document. I am trying to dual brand the document, the current logo is already there and exists over a blue box. But when I try to add the second logo, no matter what I do it will not populate on top of the blue box, it always sits behind it. I have figured out my edits need to be made in the parent page, I have tried to send the rectangle back, I have tried to bring the new logo forward, which doesnt appear to be an option, I have locked and unlocked both logos. Need some guidance on what I am missing.

Hello,I am attempting to create SDS sheets using InDesign 2024, but I'm having issues with InDesign's Datamerge. My process is: enter the data into google sheets (Column A is the header names, B will be the product information for the SDS sheet.... transcribed into columns... and then downloaded as a CSV), and then import into InDesign using DataMerge. This is the first time I'm using a larger data set (300 rows of text, transcribed into columns). At around the 84th row/column, InDesign does not import that data into the datamerge. I am not getting any errors. I had no problems placing the headers, and everything imports properly until around row 84. The file is only 13 KB, so I'm surprised that I'm having issues. Any advice/tips? Pictures attached of the google sheet, and InDesign doc where the data fails to import (before and after preview is enabled).   

My Excel for Mac (v16.93) recently added features this week, and now spreadsheets exported as .CSV or .TXT aren't recognized by InDesign for datamerge. I'm getting the error that "The data source file you selected either has no records or is not a supported file format. Please fix the file"...TextEdit recognizes the data, but even after resaving it from there without changes, InDesign still gives me the same error.Files made from previous dates are recognized (Nov/Dec files)...so it's either an error with the MS update or Adobe.Anyone else encountering this?  

Hi,I am facing this issue since I have started using Indesign and found no solution to it till date. The textframes sometimes thread perfectly but most of the time they dont. I have attached a 4 mins video of how I am creating a document and threading. Also the problem can be seen. Its an RTL document. Ideally page 1 should be threaded to page 2 but here its threading to page 3. Similarly other pages are haywire. What is the permanent solution this, can anyone please help? Thanks for your time. I have attached idml file also.

I recently reinstalled Creative Cloud and downloaded Adobe InDesign v20.01. However, whenever I move or resize objects, the screen flickers black until the object is placed.To troubleshoot, I downgraded to the older version (v19.5.1), but the issue persists. The flickering happens regardless of the specific project or settings.Has anyone encountered a similar issue or knows a fix?Thanks in advance for your help!

Many of my dialog windows such as paragraph styles, or when I place items appear off the screen (I see the bottom of the window, but not the top which means I cannot move them around)  - Any suggestions?Laurie

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
