Questions

I'm trying to script the placement of an object from the library (it does other things but only thing it doesn't do is place it where I want it).So I have the script set to 0,0 absolute Then offset X= -120 and Y= 5  But in different document sizes it doesn't go to the same place - if the page has a spread etc.    For the record it's fine if it places on the page and I move manually - but hey if the script can reposition it in the why not - right?   I can't get it consistently to be in the position I want  if (placedAsset && placedAsset.length > 0) { var obj = placedAsset[0]; // Save current preferences var oldRuler = doc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin; var oldAnchor = app.activeDocument.selectionPreferences.anchorPoint; // Set positioning reference to page origin and top left anchor doc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.PAGE_ORIGIN; app.activeDocument.selectionPreferences.anchorP

Hey All, I've been hitting this issue for a couple years now. I've experienced it across two jobs using separate computers and Adobe accounts, leading me to believe it's an issue with the software, but I haven't been able to find an answer to the issue. I will be working in InDesign and every couple of minutes all of my other windows will "lock up". I am not able to interact with any other program in any way. InDesign stays fully functional during this, but if I were to, for example, go to open an excel spreadsheet, I am not able to pull it up. Windows that are already open on my screen are also locked up, and I'm not able to use them. This only ever happens with InDesign. Never Illustrator or PhotoShop. My temporary fix is to hit ctrl+alt+delete and open then close the task manager. This works every time, but impedes my flow and is frustrating. I use InDesign and Windows - both fully updated. Help would be much appreciated!

Hello everyone!After some research I haven't found a real answer to my issue and I am sure there should be one.I am currently working in a pipeline with a team where we layout packaging faces in indesign before copy/pasting it to illustrator tracings from the printer/manufacturer.The issue is that on our layout we have paragraph/texte strokes, bullet points and fonts needs to be vectorized on the illustrator file. Everything works –bullet points are a bit tricky but it is manageable– aside from the paragraph strokes who dissapear once we hit the vectorized command. As we have paragraph styles and paragraph strokes setting, spacing, offset, etc. Regular strokes are not an option. We have too much files and faces to deal with it manually.Therefore here is my question: Is there a clear solution to have text/paragraph strokes vectorized ?Thank you very muchHave a nice day!

When the Pages panel is set to "View Pages" > "Horizontally," if there are enough pages in the document, the bottom page numbers are cut off when you scoll all the way down. I can reproduce this in InDesign even with preferences reset. InDesign 19.4macOS 14.5 

Here's a small bug or I have done something wrong so far :-D:  In Indesign’s menubar-font menu you cannot jump to a font you want to use by enterin the first letter or part of the name. It just does not work. Preview is off, show last fonts is set to 0. Works in 2025, not in 2026.It works in the Command-T Font-Menu itself, but not in the menubar-fontmenu.   Otherwise, 26 is a better experience so far than 25 was. Maybe this can be fixed in a .-update. Thank you folks. 

Bonjour,J'ai créé un fichier Indesign avec 46 badges 90 x 55 mm sur 46 pages d'un même document.J'aimerai imprimer ces badges sur des A3 Je ne trouve pas les options dans IndesignJ'ai essayé en exportant en PDF et en essayant d'imprimer depuis Acrobat, pas mieux !Merci de votre aide.

As part of my work I do allot of text replacements inside indesign documents for tranlation purposes. I open a tranlated ms-word document and copy - paste it into indesign. Doing this I need to be really carefull not end up with the paragraph style of a neighboring paragraph when pasting. Even using the ugly story editor does not fixe this issue. Only click-drag selecting making sure not to include the paragraph marker does. This is such a waste of time. Should developers fix this? I wish they would make quad-click paste hassle-free in indesign.

Hallo Community! Vielleicht kann mir jemand weiterhelfen. Als „Schreiberling"  habe ich von Hardware und Software wenig Ahnung. Nun habe ich einen Auftrag angenommen, für den ich InDesign benötige. Kein Problem, dachte ich, damit habe ich vor der Pandemie regelmäßig gearbeitet - schließe ich also ein neues Abo ab. Nun verlangt der Auftraggeber, dass mit Version 20.5.1 gearbeitet wird. Die aktuelle Version ist aber wohl InDesign 2026 (21.0), richtig? Kann ich , wenn ich jetzt ein Monats-oder Jahres Abo nur für InDesign abschließe, auf diese Version „downgraden"? Oder gibt es einen Intaller für die Version? Oder benötige ich zusätzliche ein Abo für Creative Cloud? Vielen Dank, Frank

Can we please get a 'preview' button added to the Polygon Tool pop-up box in InDesign?It would make creating them a bit easier. Cheers

I went to open up a document from someone else and it said I needed the latest 2026 version. Turns out I had both the 2025 version and the newest 2026 version installed. Problem is, none of my data from the 2025 version carried over to the 2026 version. Only cloud documents show up but all of the files from my computer are not automatically there. Im new to indesign and usually all of my files carry over from update to update. How can I sync everything?

Whenever I used to update indesign, I used to copy xml files of my custom workspaces from here "C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version xx.x\en_US\Workspaces" to the newer folder.I today updated from 20.5 to version 21.0 and for the first time ever, Indesign isn't showing my custom workspaces in the drop down menu. I trashed the preferences also but still the same problem.What to do?

Sad that I can't get this document to create a PDF today.  What could be the possible issue? Worked through other suggestions and from here the solutions is to copy over all pages to a new file and try again?  Is this a serious solution?   

I am getting a Disconnected message every time I try to load a review link. Not sure how to reconnect. I have tried logging out and back in. No change. This is the message:DisconnectedYou can view and manage review links when your connection is restored

I've built a script to create my own paragraph styles for caption, and the next step is to apply them. Is there a way to Caption Setup "Paragaraph Style" and Layer via script? I could only find documentation for CS6, and reference to captions in online resources is fairly limited.My captions are always formatted with underscores, so if there isn't a way I can findGrep and apply paragraph styles that way if I have to, though it may initally format incorrectly.

It's not in The Creative Cloud anymore and I need that particular version for a Xerox plugin (VIDesign Express 18.1.0).I tried to install the latest VIDesign (18.1.3) on InDesign 2025, but it freezes on installation.

Hi Community,I've looked this up, and I've seen the posts with scripts. It's not vital to my project, but I sure would like it to work. Is this even worth asking people to look at? I don't know.I don't need anything fancy, just simple names of section headers in alphabetical order. See below, or tell me it's hopeless without scripting, which I haven't had the time to learn, yet.David

Subject title describes my problem. I'm currently working on a final, that being working 3-4 short stories into InDesign and printing it out to create a physical book. In my current InDesign file, I usually press enter to create a new paragraph (in this specific case to indicate when a different character is speaking), but every time I do so the text jumps to the next page? I checked in a different file that I had and the page-jumping doesn't happen. Could it be because of something I had done in my paragraph styles? I'm also including my InDesign file so someone could get more hands-on with helping. I need help with this as soon as possible. 

I wanted your thoughts on if this was normal when printing a document through a third party printer.  I have been told its normal and moire but I have never seen anything quite like this.  Looks more like printing that hasn't gone right, really jagged tones.  This was sent as specifited as a print ready PDF.  All images are 300ppi and no compression etc. Is this normal in offset printing?   

indesign fonts are now empty, how to retrieve, please help? 

Iniciei um projeto no Adobe InDesign 26, porém ao utilizar a fonte Cambria (Microsoft, mas disponível no Adobe Fontes) os acentos ficam com um deslocamento para a direita quase que acentuando a letra seguinte, testei o mesmo arquivo em uma versão anterior do software e o problema não ocorre e se troco a fonte para calibri, por exemplo o problema também desaparece.

This is my first time using InDesign 2025 (20.0.1). After the initial launch, I noticed the CPU usage stays at 20% or higher all the time, regardless of whether it's idle, minimized, or in use. This issue doesn't occur with Illustrator 2025 (29.1) or Photoshop 2025 (26.2). Why is this happening? My laptop is Lenovo Legion i7 Pro, i9-13900HX, RTX-4080, 32GB RAM, running Windows 11 Home Version 24H2. 

Hi All, I'm trying to format a text document that has a lot of inexplicable white spaces breaking up paragraphs when there is plenty of white space left on the page to accommodate text.  I've turned on Hidden Characters and there weren't any extra paragraph breaks; tried various "Keep" options, but removing them leaves me with widows and orphans and sends all of my anchored images into a tizzy; checked the space before and after paragraph but it's set to 0. I'm at a loss and this is due on Wednesday. Any help you can give me, I'd appreciate it!I should mention I'm pretty much a novice with InDesign and largely self-taught through YouTube, so forgive me if the answer is obvious. 

Is it possible to select all cells of a certain width of 130pt and change to a width of 145pt using a script

Hello everyone,When using InDesign 2021, Overprint Preview is turned on by default whenever I open or create a new document. All those boxes are really annoying!How do I turn it off as the default view so I have a nice, clean palette to work on?
