Hi everyone, I'm trying to save myself many hours of work, and hope you can help out. The below image was shot on a marble slab, and there are many others like it. PSD files, when complete, will be placed in an InDesign layout with text and design elements. The Designer is going to want to nudge things around to fit the layout and will want to make sure all the marble backgrounds of all the images match. My idea is this:Make one layer of precise masking of the elementsMake a second layer below with a softer mask for the shadowsSet the lower layer to "darken" blending modeIn InDesign, place this photoshop image on top of a blank marble slab and repeat for the other images. To do this, I need the "darken" blending mode to be represented in InDesign. Is this possible? Right now the lower layer is not carrying the blending mode over to InDesign. Using layer styles shadows in Photoshop or InDesign is not an option since they don't create cast shadows.

I have fonts managed in Adobe Fonts and used consistently throughout my InDesign docs. One day they're fine, the next week they're missing with no option to activite or replace in the "Find/Replace Font" menu option, a couple days later they are back as if they never left. I go to fonts.adobe.com to reactivate them and they all have active status.  Please help me with these questions so I can avoid these constant annoyances.Why do fonts randomly disappear, then reappear in my docs and menus?Why are fonts labeled OTF in my InDesign fonts them, then the OTF label disappears the next time I open the doc? Could this be caused by a VPN or similar situation? This is a huge problem for my team and I. We are using V20.0.1

The attached 'Correct.indd' file displays the correct color (#2DC3D0) in the circle, but when I open a new Indesign file and try to use the same exact color, they look very different (as shown in the 'Incorrect.indd' file). I have checked that both color settings are exactly the same, as seen in this screenshot:I have also checked that the Transparency Blend Space is set to "Document RGB" in both files. Why do they look different??? Please help! Thank you

Since the latest update of InDesign (v 20.0) the following error occurs in certain documents (not all): If I want to change the margins on certain master pages that I have created via “Layout”-“Margins and Columns”, this does not work. Immediately after clicking on “Layout”, InDesign hangs up completely, the window with the error report appears & InDesign crashes completely.     <Title renamed by MOD>  

Hi all, "Share for Review" InDesign 24Anyone have an idea on how to keep the unresolved pins intact after the content is updated?My client wishes to see content updates after each session. When I update content through the share dialog, it creates a new link/content, but the comment pins that I have not gotten around to do not follow the new content instance. I can view the earlier version to resolve the comments, but the client doesn't want to flip-flop between the instances, which I understand. Surely I am missing something.Thanks for any wisdom.-Gary

Is it possible for a script to import or replace an image in my document with another image that you have located in the library (creative cloud)?For example, I have an image selected in my document. When I run the script, it should locate the object in the library and replace it.My object in the library is called "Test_1" and is in the "Group_1" group, within the "TEST" Library.

On the left page transliterated, on the right page in Sanskrit alphabet.Does anyone know a way to apply automatic hyphenation in transliterated text, correctly following IAST (International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration) rules?I can't find any specific dictionary, and I can't find anything like that in the default InDesign scripts Thank youVincenzo Letta  

Hi!I am doing a magazine where the authors appear among two lines and the text varies in length according to the author name and has two strokes lines at a constant separation. Besides everything has to be center aligned. The way I do it now is going manually by each author and taking two rectangles as distance references. Considering sometimes there are more than 30 writers, it takes a white to do it right and also text boxes does not close exactly where a word ends. Is there any way I could do it with a Script or object Properties or else? Here is the design problem Thanks for your help. 😉 

Can't open files that were created in an older version of InDesign. I am a licenced holder of the old and new version but I keep being asked to update or convert and when I do, I get the message "You're up to date" so what they heck am I supposed to do? Should the files seamlessly open in the new version?  

I am working on a book that needs to be in landscape and opens upwards, sort of like a calendar. Issue is the only way i can make my spread have 2 pages below each other is by setting my pages to a portrait orientation then rotating them 90 degrees CW which also rotates the columns, and it the pages will revert back to portrait when exporting.   Any ideas how i could solve this?

Bonjour,J'ai régulièrement le même bug sur Indesign : tout fonctionne très bien et puis d'un coup je ne peux plus déplacer les éléments de mon document. Les blocs images, les images à l'intérieur, les blocs textes et même les pages ne peuvent plus être déplacées. En revanche, je peux les déplacer avec les flèches directionnelles du clavier. Je ne comprends pas d'où vient le problème et je ne me souviens plus comment le réparer. Pouvez-vous m'aider, svp ?Merci par avance. Fabienne

We get files created by someone else, usually they are 300-400 pages all done in one InDesign file. Many times these files are very slow to react to user input. Planting the cursor or double clicking a word to select it can take 3-4 seconds for anything to happen. Once that's been done you can select text with no delay, but as soon as a change is made the to the file, the next time something is selected it again takes 3-4 seconds to respond. I've Googled a bunch and tried clearing preferences and saving as IDML but to no avail. Recently we received one such file that was actually more than double the number of pages than usual at 926 pages, and again all in one InDesign file. THAT humongous file does NOT have the slowness problem! I captured and compared all the preference settings from that file with another file that has the slowness problem but there wasn't anything different that seemed like it would affect things, just stuff like superscript size and unit 

Has anyone else had the issue with InDesign undoing italics? A project I'm working on has lots of movie titles and I'm finding myself have to redo a lot of italics. Thoughts on what is going on here?
