Questions

The same problem that began to occur with Illustrator and Photoshop several years back is now occuring in InDesign (main palette window moves behind other active windows when you attempt to move the window).  Not interested in work arounds and desktop viewing segmentations etc.  I want to work the old standard way. Adobe and Apple please resolve this issue!!!

Hallo Ihr,ich habe einen neuen Kunden, der als Font Palatino Linotype gewählt hat. Beim Platzieren von doc-files (ich bin wegen diverser Probleme auf ID-Version 18 zurückgekehrt, um Probleme durch docx zu vermeiden) wählt ID Palatino Linotype Nothing, das als solches nicht erkannt wird. Wenn ich das durch Regular ersetze, muss ich alle Abweichungen (bold, italics) manuell ändern, d.h. den Text akribisch durchgehen. Außerdem nimmt ID rote Schrift statt Schwarz und alles unterstrichen (trotz anderslautender Einstellungen). Es gibt hier offenbar ein Problem, dass die Software Absatzformate ignoriert.Habt Ihr eine Idee, wie ich das ändern kann? Ich arbeite mit Win11 und InDesign 18.5.4 x64. LG, Birgit

Ever since I updated to Indesign 2026, anytime I place an illustrator file, there is a fairly high chance that one or more of the layers refuses to display or the file will be in a rolled back state. Its not just a visual glitch, when I export to PDF, the placed file will still not show what its supposed to. It seems to happen more frequently when the illustrator file is larger, but I’ve also had it happen on tiny files. The ONLY fix I’ve found so far is to save the illustrator file as a PDF and import that.  

I am running Creative Suite 2026 on a new Mac Book and am having problems with InDesign features being grayed out. Like the undo and redo functions are greyed out, as is paste in place. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also the ‘group’ and ‘ungroup’ features are greyed out. I can’t figure out how to do a screen grab of a drop down menu.Thank you. Alison Kennedy

Les hyperliens insérés, soit dans le texte, soit en objets invisibles (on a tout essayé… ) se confondent lors de l’export en PDF et il n’en reste qu’unJ’ai essayé toutes les solutions possibles, modifier dans Acrobat est une tannée (inadmissible !) rien ne fonctionneQui a une solution pour cette opération qui devrait être d’une simplicité enfantine ?Merci ! 

Before the 18th, my InDesign program was working fine. My subscription is fine, computer didn't have an update, no one else uses my computer, but on the 18th, it suddenly popped up with these errors: "Cannot load the PATH TYPE.RPLN plug-in. It is dependent on the GENERIC PAGE ITEM.RPLN plug-in, which failed to load. Please check documentation for the GENERIC PAGE ITEM.RPLN plug-in." "Cannot load the PATH TYPE UI.RPLN plug-in. It is dependent on the GENERIC PAGE ITEM.RPLN plug-in, which failed to load. Please check documentation for the GENERIC PAGE ITEM.RPLN plug-in." I tried uninstalling & reinstalling, I tried checking if my pc needed an update and updated that. I tried searching for the same results to see if others had the same issue, but I could not find anything. Please, if anyone has any answers, I would love to try it! I've got several projects that I need to start/finish. 😞   {Renamed by MOD}

I have an indesign document with a ton of different images, 1 on each page of the doc. I’ve updated a few of these links today and the newly linked updated images have this icon on the bottom left corner which I’ve never seen before. Any idea what this is or what it means? These are not text boxes, there are no primary text frames in this document and no threaded text.It is definitely attached to the linked image and nothing else, as it moves around with the image when I move the image.   

Normally I can make a rectangle, round the corners then select a corner anchor to move and change the shape while keeping the integrity and editablilty of rounded corners. I haven't changed anything, but all of the sudden clicking on any corner anchor causes the shape to automatically expand, meaning each corner now has 2 rounded anchors. It's as if I'm clicking the Expand button, but I'm not. Any ideas what's happening here?

I'm running InDesign 2022 17.01 on a Macbook Pro 2019 OS Monterey V 12.1.  I use indesign on this computer every single day with no issues, but today, I am unable to save my projects or use undo/redo. I restarted indesign earlier to address the undo/redo problem and it worked for a while, but eventually was disabled again. At the time, I was able to save my files so I felt comfortable restarting the program. But now, both save and undo/redo are disabled. I was however able to succesfully export, which requires saving. Very strange.  other things that may or may not be related:- Text boxes in one of my projects are creating duplicate edges and I have to double click them for the text to readjust inside the new parameters. Usually the text adjusts while I drag the box. This is only happening on one of my projects open, while the other is normal. - Zooming with my fingers on my trackpad is randomly disabling and I have to relaunch the program to fix it. Zoom on tr

When I go to update a review link in InDesign, I keep getting this error message "there was an error updating the artifact". After that, the link does not work for most people. I am signed in to Adobe. Everything is up-to-date.... But this issue still persists. Can Adobe please fix this issue? It's emarassing when I go to send the review link to my leaders and they just get an error message when they try opening it.   <Title renamed by moderator>

Currently, I have selected an image and a text frame. I want only the image to remain selected after the function executes.Here is the code:I want only the selected image to remain after executing “exit();”.Thank you very much.var doc = app.activeDocument;var item = doc.selection[0]; var items = doc.selection; if (items.length > 1) { var sel = items; tx = 0 for (i = 0; i < sel.length; i++) { if ('TextFrame' == sel[i].constructor.name) { tx = sel[i]; } if ('TextFrame' != sel[i].constructor.name) { ob = sel[i] } } if (tx != 0) { getA(); exit(); } }function getA() { var a = 2 + 3;} 

Due to repeated code and cross-references, I want to use a separate file, but I can’t completely separate the code.For example, I have a main file,A.jsx (this name may be renamed frequently)://@include ‘B.jsx’;        var doc = app.activeDocument;        var item = doc.selection[0];         var items = doc.selection; b();function a{...}Subfile B.jsx (this name is fixed)://@include ‘../pub/A.jsx’;        var doc = app.activeDocument;        var item = doc.selection[0];         var items = doc.selection; function b() {...    a(); // Here, I need to call `a()` from the main file A.jsx...}Now here’s the problem:The path between A.jsx and B.jsx is a relative path, and this will not change.However, A.jsx might be renamed frequently in the future.Is there a way to determine its name in reverse?Thank you. 

I’ve selected some rows, but they don’t start from the first row.I want to use a script to set a minimum row height for the currently selected rows.Like this:  

Hi, I created a presentation with many links to many folders. However, many of the folders and links therein were not used in the presentation. To expedite the bibliography process, I was wondering if I could package the project and maintain the folder structure in which each asset is stored, to come up with a list of all the folders/sources actually used. Thanks for any suggestions/ideas.

I opend Indesign and can get into my work but ones inside I am unable to edit anything. I can not add or subtract any work. I have tried to quite the app, but when I do, a message window pops up saying “cannot handle the request because a modal dialog or alert is active.” I can't uninstall InDesign to reinstall it.

I installed Adobe 2026 on my imac. Now undo doesn’t work. It’s permanently grayed out. ID 21.2 on a Retina 5K running Ventura 13.7.8. If you look at screen shot, I can’t undo the neon effect I made or undo the letter ‘M’ I deleted. I’m opening 2025 ID to see if that helps. 

I am trying to move the vertices of a polygon:I thought I found a solution but this shows exactly the issue I am trying to avoid. Thanks.

Hi Team,I need your assistance with an issue related to using the MinionPro font in MathType.Please see the attached PDF. The document was processed in InDesign and includes MathType equations that use the MinionPro font. When working with this file, InDesign becomes very slow and difficult to use. For example export the PDF or update the mathtype images. However, when we replace MinionPro with another font, such as STIX Math, the performance returns to normal.Could you please advise if there are any known issues with using MinionPro in this setup?Thank you for your help.https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/l06aot95fpwif2chfr49w/04_9781032658872c03_B4_p1-97.pdf?rlkey=zqyphls7g9o0z6idzwxsbuf8o&st=383m15ak&dl=0https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7o5w0tvtvuuw1h5itdejb/fontList.png?rlkey=clcvd6rgeeeg6faf0n77cki1m&st=x4kgj1rw&dl=0

Since updating to 2021 over a month ago, my workspace keeps resetting.  When I open a file, sometimes it opens with my default, chosen workspace.  Sometimes, however, it opens with no toolbars showing and I have to manually go to Window --> Workspace --> Default.  (Default is the name of the workspace I created with my workspace set as I want it.)  How do I set it so that my chosen workspace is the workspace that always opens?  It's so frustrating to have to open it up nearly every time I open a file because it's not defaulting to that workspace!

I have been using a font – Prenton RP Pro – for a numbers of years for a regular publication. I installed it from Adobe via Creative Cloud. It comes in 10 weights/versions.Last week i started getting errors for missing fonts. Indesign has changed the name of the font from “Prenton RP Pro” to “Prenton RP Pro (OTF)” and has split it into two groups: one with Black and Black Italic weights, and one with the other 8 weights in it (Light, Regular, Italic etc). I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the font family, checked Font Book for conflicting installations (none), have tried restarting machine and Creative Cloud in various orders, all to no avail. My colleague has no problem with his font (showing as a group of 10 weights of Prenton RP Pro - without the (OTF)). The problem is that if he opens a file I have worked on, it shows font errors and vice versa. We can no longer work on the same documents, which is proving impossible. I don’t know where to go from here. Advice appreciated

Hi,We are having an issue with Adobe InDesign where files saved on a network drive are opening as read-only. What’s happening:Files open as read-only for multiple users Save option forces “Save As” On the server, files show as open by a user That user does not actually have the file openWhat I’ve checked:Users confirmed file is not open on their device Checked open sessions on the server > It shows as the file being open by the user eventhough it’s not Disabled Preview Pane in Windows Explorer Deleted .idlk lock files where found Copied files locally → works fine (not read-only) Checked permissions (all OK) Restarted machines Updated InDesign to latest versionThis is happening across multiple files and users, only on the network drive. Any ideas what could be causing this?Thanks

When open InDesign 2026 on a screen with very high resolution, some icons get double size in docke panel: This is only seen on a Mac with arm-processor. When open InDesign on the build-in (retina) screen, everything looks fine.I found the post “InDesign 2023: Big icon in docked panel”. But the solution described there, did not solve the problem.Any ideas how to solve this?

When I publish my document online half of the page content is missing? There is two different page sizes on the document, and it looks like the size of the smaller pages are what is showing on the larger pages. I have been using this document for years without issue.

I am Running InDesign 2026. I went: Type > Document Footnote Options > Layout. My understanding is that is where the maximum attributable area for footnotes on a page can be set. The option is not there. Where is it?
