I have a plethora of para and char styles in several documents I am updating with a new font, but seems none of the applied styles will update (I am working on another designers files...)  How can I Apply (style), clear overrides for all? Instead of selecting each type box or type content throughout...

This is the official Adobe documentation:" Tip: All variations are downloaded to your computer in the following location:Windows: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\InDesign GenAI AssetsmacOS: /Users/username/Documents/InDesign GenAI Assets "I want to have this folder on an exernal SSD or Dropbox so if opened at a later date the InDesign file will see the assets in this location and/or give me the option of re-importing them - like the assets in Premiere/After Effects - anyone know if this is possible?

Hello, I have a problem with the last project in ID. The file does not open after trying to export and the message appears: The command could not be completed, a database error occurred.

Will buttons made in ID be supported in KDP Print Replica or any of the other platforms that allow fixed layout ebooks?=============================================================I have an image-heavy ebook project that began as a print edition of the same.This is my 1st ebook project.   Problems I'm having, generally, are: I can't get ID-produced epub, PDF, or even publish online to work consistently across computer, tablet, and phone WITH INTERACTIVITY such as roll over captions wired in ID. I also tried "on tap/release" in addition to "on roll over." I wired buttons differently for epub (object states) and PDF (show/hide) versions. I want some interactivity and hoped to incorporate more in future projects... I'm checking on what I have here: Apple computer, iPhones, newest iPad.I have uploaded a PDF with on tap and roll over buttons to Kindle Create and don't see the functionality.I'm feeling like ID isn't useful for interactivity with systems commonly in use. &

Exported PDF with links are not working... when I use GO TO DESTINATION from the link in ID it works fine. But the exported PDF changes the link. It is for Amazon Vendor Central and the PDF send me the the login URL, but the GO TO from in ID send me to the page I need to go to.     <Title renamed by MOD>    

I have a TOC that does not exclude a hidden spread. When exporting, the page numbers adjust automatically (as expoected), but prior to export, when updating the TOC, the hidden spread/pages are still showing in the TOC and the pages are not renumberd as the export will produce...?   Seems to be a bug, or am I missing something?   <Title renamed by MOD>

From time to time, I use the Picker (letter I) tool to "quickly" transfer text formatting attributes such as font size and color from one group of characters to another. BUT every time I do so,  once I'm done and want to get back to the regular Text tool, to continue editing, it's a riot.Perhaps I'm missing something very obvious?Currently, once I'm done with picking and applying text attributes and want to get back to the Text tool, I first hit the Escape key which, not only gets me out of the tool and returns me to the Selection tool (Black arrow) but it also selects the text frame which isn't bad in itself. The problem is that, at this point, I have to either select the Text tool in the toolbar with the mouse or double-click the text frame wherever I want to pursue editing which is "doable", and THEN I'm back where I was, ready to continue editing text. But it is a lot of work everytime. So much so that it almost defeats the purpose of using the tool in the first place.Please t

It looks like someone got access to my manuscript, and used Auto Style without permission. Also I notice a few missing pages. Is this intentional misuse of access privileges, or merely a programming error?   The circle and line have been moved without permission on several pages.     <Title renamed by MOD>

When I generate a QR code using the link https://express.adobe.com/tools/qr-code-generatordoes that QR code work forever as long as the link still works? I am planning on using this on printed books and need to make sure the code will always work. 

I was so happy to discover the mail merge feature. I was successful in creating ID badges with staff names and photos. When recreating the design I started once again with a fresh import of same data file and then merged into multiple page document. The preview looks great, however, the end result shows a duplicate image on almost every page, followed by another image duplicated. The data source is about the 12th line of data. No idea what to do differently. I've relinked data fields and changed margins with no success.  Can't understand why the preview is perfect but the merged document is different. Please help!

I can't get Indesign on my laptop and I have no idea why. When I go to download it it says my computer is compatible with the system as well as I have all the reqirments. But when I hit install it won't let me. I have a surface pro 9 and have used Indesign (Beta) on it before. However, just today for some reason it won't let me use either versions. I have even tried to re-download the older version of Indesign (Beta) and it still won't work. I talked to Adboe tech support and he said my Ram isn't high enough. My computer has a 16 ram so this does not make sense.      <Title renamed by MOD>

Ich habe sehr oft Anzeigefehler in InDesign mit dem Mac Studio M1 Max.In den meisten Fällen sind die Fehler so gravierend, dass man sie soforterkennt. Manchmal sind sie jedoch sehr unscheinbar und führen dannzu Verwirrung. Woran liegt das? Was kann man daran ändern?Ich musste eben InDesign neu starten, weil der Fehler nichtverschwunden ist. In der Regel kann ich den Fehler durchzoomen wieder beseitigen, bzw. durch das Switchen in den Vollbildmodus. Anzeigefehler: So sieht es normalerweise aus:

I am writing a script that is intended to assign an objectStyle to images, which have been placed from Word files and are anchored within table cells. I want to first 'extract' the images from the cells by releasing the anchor.   This stand by doesn't seem to have any effect in this case: Solved: How break with script to anchored object release - Adobe Community - 6650519—unless I manually change the anchor properties to custom (versus Inline or Above Line), the reference script will work. I haven't been able to change this property via script, as in, for example:             settings.anchoredPosition = AnchorPosition.ANCHORED;            settings.anchorXoffset = 0;            settings.anchorYoffset = 0;Any suggestions on how to appropriately access this property, or alternative approaches, please?

I'm doing a data merge for a large catalog, and I'm placing images with the "special" image column (i.e., @9285143, @11075758, ...) - all works well.However the text for each page is actually in a text file, and contains line breaks, tabs, etc. Is there an equivalent to the special image tag - or a scripted solution - to automatically place text from a text file as specified in each row of the data file?My data file is something like this:productName@productImagedescriptionApples/path/to/image/apples.tif/path/to/textfile/description/apples.txtOranges/path/to/image/orange.tif/path/to/textfile/description/orange.txt

Hi everyone,is it possible to right align the text in an Indesign interactive form? I only see options for the font size, not even font family, are there more settings to it, most importantly alignment?Thank you!

I have a 55-page InDesign document with sidebar icons that act as navigable buttons. When clicked in PDF, the buttons redirect the viewer to specific sections within the document ("home" button returns to first page, "about" button goes to about pages, etc.), all referencing bookmarked sections. There are many similar icons within the document that act as jump-to buttons.Problem is, each time I save the document (or export to interactive PDF and return to the original INDD document), the buttons reset themselves to the top-most bookmark in the list, the "about" page. I am then forced to reprogram every single button (there are 25) when I send another version to the client. I have yet to find a workaround or solution to this problem.Can anyone here help? Is this an InDesign bug? I am using the most current version of InDesign, version 2022.

Hi Adobe Community, I created a PDF file in Indesign for mobile devices with hyperlinks. The hyperlinks linking to websites work fine only on Android smartphones the "go to page" links don't work. On iPhones all links work nicely. Can you help? Regards 

Hello, I was just about to finish the desugn of my book in beautiful Garamond, when I found out Garamond wasn't sustained anymore, just one day before my deadline. Is this how things work in In Design? Out of the blue, overnight? Without announcement?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hey all.  So, i've got a project where i'm creating a kind of mystical grimoire in ePub format that's meant to create a graphic novel feel with multimedia as part of Into the Mythica project (https://intothemythica.com)I'm just learning the in's and out's of inDesign and have for many years just sort of been approaching it in a kind of painterly way, but am starting to ground out into the formats.So.  I have a number of graphic novel sketches that i've made over time in various shapes & sizes, and i'm wanting to clarify if i'm on the right path with creating functional epubs.  Whereas the idea of them being flowable is nice, it seems to throw off the absolute positioning of the graphics so i've been heading in a more fixed position though i'm open to advice.I'm curious, are there any recommended sizes for the document that I should set as a standard for an ePub across my publishing? I'm using a particular image for a background that sets the visual tone for the conte
