I would like to create a book and automatically import/place one image on each page.  All images are the exact same size.  I am hoping there is a template I can set up and script to run so I don't have to do this manually.   Thanks for your help!Leanne  

I have a script for generating page ranges for an index document in InDesign. While the script executes successfully and creates the page ranges, there is an issue with hyperlinks. For example, if the input is 10, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, the script converts it to⁣.10, 29-34 However, after the hyphen, the first digit (3 in this case) does not retain its hyperlink, while the last digit (4) does. I have verified this issue both in InDesign and in the ePub output.Below is my script. If anyone can assist in resolving this, it would be greatly appreciated.   if (app.selection.length > 0 && app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty ('baseline')) { var s = app.selection[0].parentStory; app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing; app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '\\d+, ([\\d+, ])+'; var r = s.findGrep(); for ( aLine = r.length-1; aLine >= 0; aLine-- ) r[aLine].contents= checkOneLine ( r[aLin

This didn't used to be an issue, but it seems that the new version of InDesign does not make it easy to relink images in a new folder if the image has changed from an RGB to a CMYK. We have times when we have to link to RGB images first in a document because they're smaller and easier to use/share on Creative Cloud with multiple designers. When I go to make final art for printing, I need to relink to the folder that has the CMYK images. I brake the path to the RGB images, and relink to a CMYK image, and check the box that says "Search for missing links in this folder" to find the rest of them that are in the folder I'm currently relinking to. Now it will just relink the single image and not find the rest of them that are in this folder.  This used to work, and InDesign would find all the images with the same name in the folder. Now, it seems that it knows the difference between the original image being RGB and the new image (even with the same name) being CMYK, so it is

Hello InDesign Masters,I come here seeking advice, defeated by a problem I can’t seem to resolve. My Setup:•Hardware: Mac Studio M1 Max, 64GB memory•Software: InDesign 2025 & InCopy 2025•OS: macOS Sequoia 15.1.1 Project Description:I’m working on an academic journal (120 pages, 200+ footnotes) that I was asked to design. Initially, I received the text (in English) as a Word document. However, importing the text directly into InDesign didn’t handle the footnotes properly, so I had to manually insert them into the appropriate references in InDesign. It was a tedious process, but the end result was well-received.Now, the client wants to publish the journal in multiple languages. They’ve provided editors and translators for each language, and we plan to collaborate using InCopy. The Problem:The footnotes are numbered sequentially throughout the journal, and my InDesign template has most text boxes threaded (with a few exceptions like block quotes and covers). When I expo

Hi all! Years ago, I used Quark. I haven't used it in a long time, so I don't remember the exact key command... but I want to know if I can do something in InDesign that I used to be able to do in Quark. Imagine having a text box... and in it is a 12 point headline and 9 point text below that headline. I want to enlarge the whole thing... maybe bring the headline up to 18 points and the text up to 15 points (or whatever would be proportional). Is there a way to do this in InDesign? I've never been able to find it. And I find myself wanting to do this periodically. I'm not looking to enlarge the text box itself... just the text within it. Thanks.

Lately I've been doing a lot of publications and importing PDF comments into InDesign. But approving each change is extremely slow. Between 10–15 seconds for each one. Anyone else suffering poor performace? Anything can be done to improve this?InDesign v14.0.3MacOS 10.14.5

Buenos días: Si alguna persona puede ayudarme. He creado con InDesign una nueva página maestra de 2 columnas y cuando la aplico a la página del documento que tiene texto en una columna no me la ajusta a 2 columnas. No sé cómo puedo arreglarlo. Ya he puesto Ajustar diseño en el ajuste de la página, del documento y de la maquetación... Adjunto la captura de pantalla. Muchas gracias de antemano...

I recently had my 2019 mac pro go down and IT wiped and reinstalled everything including updating my OS to Sequoia 15.1.1. I then updated CC to ID 20.0.1. And man... what a nightmare. It is so incredibly sluggish. Open the app... wait... open a file... wait... move the window... nothing... move a window... wait... it moves a bit, then the spinning ball... then wait... I tried to merge a file, and that was a horrendously long process. What took seconds now I wait what seems an eternity. Anyone else having the same issues?

I did a fresh install of InDesign on my new Mac, but realized that I lost my PDF presets I have on my old iMac. Where are these presets located so I can copy and past them from the old iMac to the Mac Studio?   Thanks, Laura     <Title renamed by MOD>

I've shared a review link from my adobe acrobat on my MacBook. I'm pretty sure I chose the comment option as "anyone on the internet with the link can comment", but after a while I shared it automatically changes to "only invited people can comment" Any ideas on what I should do? Thanks

Every year (once) I install and run an InDesign calendar wizard. It doesn't have an installation file, I normally just copy it to plugins.  Running InDesign 2025 on Windows 11, I cannot see any way to execute the JS file... Nothing useful in the plugins menu/panel (what are they there for anyway?). I can't seem to find a way to just execute the JS.  Help please!

I've hit a problem that you may be able to help with. I've embedded 4 youtube videos into my interactive brochure and created a pop-up animation screen that appears with the embedded video link appears when the play button is clicked. There is a close button, that reverses the animated pop-up screen back to the home page. My problem is that after the closed button is clicked and the pop-ups disengage, if I try to click a different button on my home page, the youtube navigations are still engaged from the previously closed pop-up video (i.e I'll try to click the next page button and the previously closed video will start to play or skip the video ahead 10 seconds etc...) is there anyway around this problem? When I click the close button, I want all the youtube controls to be completely disengaged until the video play button is clicked again. I know I could do this with an embedded video file but I can't figure out how to do it with a embedded video link. Thanks ahead for your

I have an 80-page document that I have been working on for the past couple of months. This week I was instructed to add a new section. I added the new pages; then I added the text. Now that I need to format and edit my content, highlighting text does not show on screen. Oddly, this is only the case past page 80. It works fine on all other pages. I can click and drag or double-click to highlight, and it shows up just fine.I am working on a Windows 11 system, and I have the most recent updates for InDesign.

I jsut want to work on my book. Every so often atleast at like 25~30 mins the program is crashing, lagging or not repsoding and making my whole mac studio lock up.  What is the whole issue with this program? Is adobe actually fixing anyhting that wrong with it? If i have to switch to some oher program i will but i have about 67% of a book finished and his program is making it even harder to work.    

For example:My current document is A.indd, which has a style TitleA, TitleA has inherited the body paragraph style.Now, I also want TitleA to get some settings from TitleB in B.indd.The fastest way, perhaps, is to copy TitleB directly into A.indd.Or, use import styles.But that would bring in a lot of stuff I don't need, maybe I just need the Grep settings in TitleB, and the font size. Sometimes this need occurs in the same documentAny ideas, or scripts, or something?

Been looking for a long time and there's not a single bit of usable information.There are too few scripts for image or text box isometric scaling suitable for columns, centers, and margins.Am I searching the wrong way?It's a bit sad.It's becoming a demonic condition in my mind. It would be great if Adobe would someday be self-contained.

As you can see below, when I click the OK button after setting the width to 8 inches and height to 6 inches (which are equal to the page size) the content in brown and the text frames don´t adjust to the new page size. I´m following step by step the videos in indesign tutorials and I can´t see where the problem comes from. Could anyone help to solve this problem?Thank you so much for your helpIgnacio

Hello, I am working on Adobe indesign for my university course making a demo-poster of my work during the semester. My professor included instructions on how to add a text box and that the requirements must have 14pt minimum, serif or sans serif and she also recommended to widen the linespacing to feel less cluttered.As you can see in the file that I provided below, my font size is set to 14 but the font appears to be jumbo sized (not "downtown reimagining"- this too is the incorrect font as it is set to 10pt). I just want to know how to fix this issue, also I read that I can scale my text but do not know how to confirm if it was done properly. Also my scaling preferences in the general setting are... (scaling is applied to content)FYI if I get a response past 11pm it will be too late as it is due.Thanks in advance. 

As stated above I should be able to install and run InDesign on my computer. However Adobe will not let me download it as it says i dont meet the minnimum requirments. I checked my PC and it does meet the requirments yet I continue to get the same message. Also really annoying that Adobe places this message after I already put in my credit card information. You couldn't have bothered to tell me it wont work before I give you money? kinda scummy

I am an InDesign Plugin developer and in the new release of InDesign CC 2025 I found a new feature which export a document as an HTML5 package using as followsExport as an HTML5 or File > publish online > export html5 package    But I could not find any documentation in InDesign SDK or in scripting api how we could export a document as an HTML5 package. Looking input either using scripting api or some service that we need to handle in sdk pluginAny help here will be appreciated. 

So this is my text. Do you know how to tell InDesign to have zero first line indent only for the first paragraph? Obviously, I could apply a second paragraph style only for the first paragraph, but it would be quicker for me to have only one paragraph style for my document. Thanks in advance for any kind of useful advice!
