Hi!I am searching for a way to use pdfs in indesign and to rasterize them there. Now I am opening them before in photoshop to rasterize them. I only need the pdf-image rasterized not the whole page or the hole file, is there any way to do that faster in indesign only without a second program?

Whenever I open an InDesign document the view seems to be different. Sometimes it's 100% but the page is off centre, sometimes it fills the entire screen, but it's NEVER as I want it to be! I'd like my documents to open with the page at 100% and centered. I seem to remember that years and years ago InDesign would remember your last view or at least open a document with my prefered view but since a few years already I am getting odd random views. See the attached screenshots for two examples: the A4 is shown at 100% but off center, the A5 is shown in the center but filling the window at 141%... It's different every time! (BTW I saved both documents with a centered view of 100%.)  I was hoping the recent ID version would solve this problem but it didn't. There HAS to be a way to make a specific view default... right...?!

Hi, What is the best method to archive a larger spacing between word like this?  Thank you!

I'm creating different icons to work across different files in indesign, what is the best format to trnsfer these into indesign from illustrator? Also after importing how do I get the icons to all remain the same size across different files? 

Hi.I have successfully completed a script for InDesign. Now I just want to output a final message with the (dynamic) file name. Some of these files contain German umlauts (Ä, Ü, Ö). These and the spaces (not %20) should be displayed correctly in the warning message. How can I achieve this?  Regards

Hola, tengo un grave problema con indesing y el PDF interactivo. Sucede que estoy trabajando con botones y estados de objeto, se supone que al hacer clic en cada boton debe "ir al estado siguiente" , cuando hago la previsualización EPUB todo bien, pero cuando lo exporte a pdf interactivo no FUNCIONA NINGUN BOTÓN, estoy desesperada. Tengo la versión INGESING 2020 y el ADOBE ACROBAT PRO DC. Les dejo un video para que vean el problema.https://youtu.be/y-CsgjPZbKM?si=uYjfDcXzdMGGOGaN

Does anyone know how to bring a page number inserted on a master page above any content on a page, such as an image?

Hi, I am working on my first book layout. For the body spacing, it seems that sometimes the spacing between words is larger in certain places. I imagine this is happening because the body text is set to justify with the last line aligned left.My question is: Is it acceptable to leave it like this? If not, what solutions are there to fix this?  Thank you very much! 

Because I was experimenting, I created way too many print presets in a document I want to print. How do I delete them so I can start over?

I'm looking to streamline my workflow a touch more and have my business artwork proof documents as a template preset in InDesign. These proofs contain artwork and text such as our logo, approval disclaimers, date and time scripts with electronic sigantures. We use these documents to place the artwork we produce for the customer to approve. I cannot find a solution to have these set-up as "presets" in the New Document window. Would be nice to have these on the app itself rather than going to my documents each time to pull it out and open. I can only find solutions that allow us to set up margins, columns, doc size etc. Does anyone have a solution for inserting these template files for our company in a preset that I can select from the new document window and the home page of indesign?Thanks in advance!

Hello,I'm having issues with the KDP previewer regarding a couple of chapter pages that have a background color (a solid color shape). My book is 6x9", and since there are these pages that have a background color that extends to the edges, the document is set to 6.125x9.25" with bleeds. The margins are correct and exceed the minimum requirements.When I remove the background color (delete the shape), the error goes away, but I want to keep the background color for design purposes.How can I resolve this issue? Did I do something wrong?I've attached screenshots of the document setup, the actual document, and the KDP preview.Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello sir I am using indesing cs6. I want to cmyk or rgb image convert in gray scall.  Please provide script to convert it like photoshop.

Hello - i've tried everything that has been posted in regards to guides that has been listed on this forum and nothing works. I am using a pre-exising document that i didn't create. When I go to drag over a new guide from the ruler, as soon as the guide hits the page, a grid appears that i did not set. These guides look different then the guides I am setting up as they don't extend beyond the page, but they also don't appear to be grids, because they only respond to the "Hide all guides" command. Any insight is appreciated.

I've got a routine that makes a list of headlines & sorts them, which ends up as bookmarks. When a headline contains an anchored object, the resulting text includes a glyph, a tiny dotted box with 'OBJ' in it, which looks bad in the final list of bookmarks. Using string.charAt(x) for the character returns 65532.I suppose I could write a function that loops through the sentence's characters & discards any 65532, but that seems like overkill if there's a regexp replace string. I already run string.replace(/\s+/g, " ") to replace non-space invisible ctrl characters w/space, but that pattern doesn't affect the object character. Does this ring a bell with anyone?Thanks.

While subscribing to adobe pro I accidently misspelled the gmail domain name <id>.gamil.com instead of  <id>gmail. I was subscribing from the app where I was not logged in to my acctual account.  I first thought since the account is invalid the subscription might not go through. Now my card is getting charged the earily subscription.

Hi,I want to check Table cell style was created in indesign? If not created I have to create the cell style name with dummy propeties as like 'TBL_COLH' 'TBL_BODY' (This is cell style name).1.

I designed a 270 page document with a lot of text and images.The publisher asked me to decrease the page widh by a few milimeters. For doing that i would like to make the margins smaller and leaving all the rest un touched.Whats the best and neat way to do that?

Dear all,this may not directly belong to the InDesign forum but I have not found a dedicated publishers forum that may answer my quandary (if you know one, please direct me there!)Since I will soon upgrade my publications from digital only to digital and print, I am inquiring about ISMN and ISBN. The music engraving community is discordant on their utility but, most of all, on their cost. Here in Italy the ISMN costs up to EUR 5,00 each, while in Romania, Portugal, and the USA, they seem free to obtain from the respective National Libraries.Do you know if there is a general and legal way of obtaining them for free? What is your general opinion on them? If you publish, or work in publishing, do you use them? A distributor from the UK refused to distribute my scores if they have the ISMN instead of the ISBN. I found that strange...Thank you for your input.

I want to compare the contents of row 1 and row 2, and if the contents are same(same row),  delete the second row.It's a bit confusing to use for and if together.logical disorder.It always feels like the loop nesting isn't finished.Or it just starts and ends.  for(var i = 0; i < table.columns.cells.length; i++){ if(table.rows[0].cells[i].contents==table.rows[1].cell[i].contents){ table.rows[0].remove(); } else{ } }   

HelloI have two InDesign documents. A first (A) of 300 different pages and a second (B) of 1 page.

I currently have a book with the text flowing from one page to another.  After reviewing it I noticed that I didn't add enough boxes.  How can I add another text box and continue the flow?In the below image the text box shows the red "icon" showing I have more text (which I do) but I don't know how to get it to continue to flow on the next empty page.

Hi, I am working on a journal which is a compilation of ads that are submitted in honor of an institutions honorees. The whole journal is about 1500 pages. I've been doing this for ten years and I'm wondering if there is a better way. Until now I have created each ad as its own document. I know that is not smart, but I need to be able to alphabetize all the ads at the end which I do easily by calling each file with the last name of the donor. However, since each donor wants to be able to find their ad I create an index as well. But the indexing process is a nightmare because I'm dealing with close to 1500 separate documents. Until now I've been putting them into books of about 100 per book, indexing each book, and then combining those indexes and manually deleting the multiple As, Bs etc so that it looks like one index. Is there a better way? Last time inDesign was not cooperating and kept crashing even when keeping my books were 100 pages. It was just too much...If
