Questions

Bonjour à tous,Je suis bien embêtée, je souhaite appliquer une couleur (celle du dessus sur la capture d'écran) mais lorsque j'appuie sur entrée, la couleur est automatiquement modifiée par Indesign pour une couleur plus terne qui ne correspond pas du tout à ce que je souhaite obtenir... Avez-vous la solution? 🙏  

Hi everyone, I’m trying to apply paragraph shading to a specific text segment (e.g., "Job Title:") with rounded corners in InDesign while leaving the rest of the text (e.g., "Truck Driver/Operator") unshaded. I also want to change the font style and size for the shaded part and then remove the colon ":" after applying the styles. I’ve attempted this using paragraph styles and characters style in nested styles,  but the paragraph shading is being applied to the entire line instead of just the specific segment. I need a way to:   Apply paragraph shading with rounded corners to only the selected text (e.g., "Job Title:"). Change the font and size for the shaded portion. Remove the colon ":" after applying the styles. Do this efficiently for multiple headings.| Any guidance on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!     <Title renamed by MOD>

Previously you could place the illustration in an ai file as large as possible in a frame in Indesign (Shift, option, command E). Now the page size of an ai file is decisive, not the illustration. I find this much more difficult. How do you solve this, apart from having to convert the page size of each illustration (read logo) in Illustrator to the size of the illustration?

With every old version of InDesign it was possible to open documents by dragging them onto the InDesign interface. With InDesign 20.0 this isn´t possible anymore if the "Start-Screen" is disabled in the preferences or a different file is already open. So even by enableling the "Start-Screen" you can´t open a second file via drag and drop.I am working on a Windows 10 based Terminal Server.And yes, I am aware that I can open a document by double-clicking or using the menu. But I have gotten used to opening by drag and drop, it's the easiest way for me and I can't figure out why this no longer works in the new version. So if anyone could help I would be grateful. Drives me nuts.     <Title renamed by MOD>

HI All, I am working on an indesign c++ plugin and looking for a solution for following scenariowhat protocol and subject I need to use to observe content change in text story.in autoattach, autodetach and update function  Regards,Alam

Good morning,   In my company's process we need to export a PDF from Indesign, then open it with Adobe Illustrator (I know, it's not optimal, but it is what it is). The problem is that many clipping masks are created (during export? when opening in Illustrator?) while they do not exist in InDesign. The file then opened in Illustrator is unusable because it takes a long time to delete them one by one. These masks appear randomly on very different elements on the page. Sometimes there are even full-page masks for a single microscopic element. It's really incomprehensible. I've tried all possible types of exports but nothing works and I'm lost! Could you help me? Thank you so much

Ich habe in meiner Agentur für jede Art von PDF eine eigene joboption (pdf export setting) angelegt. Im neuen Indesign fehlen diese alle wenn ich auf »PDF exportieren« gehe. Wo muss ich diese ablegen, damit diese wieder angezeigt werden. Der bisherige Pfad in der Library hat diese drin, allerdings fehlen sie trotzdem.Ich hab dazu diesen comment gefunden:https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/48955421-indesign-2025-removes-all-pdf-export-setting-filesGibt es da schon eine Lösung?Bisheriger Pfad war ja: 1. Gehe zu – oben anklicken2. alt-Taste gedrückt halten und LIBRARY anklicken3. Application Support anklicken4. Adobe > Adobe PDF wählen5. SETTINGS wählen>> hier können SETTINGS abgelegt oder geholt werden 

I try to adjust document. Before it I set adjustLayoutPreferences: doc.adjustLayoutPreferences.enableAdjustLayout = true;doc.adjustLayoutPreferences.enableAutoAdjustMargins = true;doc.adjustLayoutPreferences.allowFontSizeAndLeadingAdjustment = true;doc.adjustLayoutPreferences.allowLockedObjectsToAdjust = true;doc.adjustLayout({width: "1200px"});  After this I got new page size and new font sizes, BUT old margins.Is it an error in InDesign?

I have placed a PDF into an ID document. Now I want to add picture boxes on top of it. When I draw one, the PDF image vanishes. If I am successful and it remains, when I try to drag an image into it again everything disappears, or the image I am trying to drag doesn't go into the box. I can search for images to place them, but dragging is (or used to be) much simpler.     <Title renamed by MOD>

I installed a new printer an HP Color LaserJet Pro model MFP 4301fdn, and it works well. I have printed Word documents and PDS on it. When I try to print a one-page InDesign document it prints a blank page! I then created a new one in InDesing, a simple text; "TEST PRINTER" and when I printed it the page came out blank! what could be wrong?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Running InDesign 2024. Doing final edits to a novel. Drop down menus were not loading properly (would appear for a split second, then disappear as you scrolled down.) I quit InDesign after saving every file the prompt asked me to save. Re-launched InDesign. Selected the file from 'recent files' list. When it opened, menus seemed to work properly, but all of the text that had previously been 'Baskerville regular (11 pt.)' now showed up in some type of bold - although if I then highlighted text and selected 'bold', it made the text even more bold. Any suggestions on how to get back to the file's original text format? (I do have a saved version from before the last 100 pages of edits, but I really don't want to have to go back and do all of that over again.) Thank you.     <Title renamed by MOD>

Buenas,Estoy teniendo problemas a la hora de insertar imágenes en mi documento de indesign. Tengo un texto escrito de un color azul vibrante y cuando intento insertar imágenes en png, o tiff con transparencia cambia el color de dicho texto a un azul más apagado. Los perfiles de color tanto de la foto como del documento de indesign son ambos sRGB por lo que no entiendo el porqué del cambio en la tonalidad del texto ya que en teoría no se está aplicando ninguna conversión del perfil de color.Además aparecen líneas horizontales en la imagen insertada.

Hi There ,   I represent a multinational labeling company who are looking at alternative automated label artwork generation engines.  We have in-house InDesign skills and would like to see what In design server could offer.   I've tried using the chat bot and visitng various (dead) links for a list of partners but am not having much luck.  Im questionining if indesign Server is even supported now?If anybody point me in the direction of European indesign consultants or think they are qualified to take on a challenge then please let me know!   Thx   <Title renamed by MOD>

I tried the new text-to-image function to generate some backgrounds in my design. Now I opened the file on another computer and had to realize, that InDesign saved the files to the local "Documents" folder on my machine. Is that intended behaviour?I think it should have embedded them or at least save it to a subfolder near my .indd file. I could not find any options to change that behaviour. Am I missing something? If I have to move them manually every time I create an image, I will definitely sometimes forget ...

This is a newbie kind of question. I'm just trying to dab into Object Styles but I have not found the expected InDesign documentation with regards to this feature? Sorry for the French UI but this what I'm using : All I want is to "store" the width and height of an existing picture frame to apply to other picture frames in my page. But as soon as I apply the style to any of the frames I'm trying to change the size of, the placed image gets "resized", proportionaly? I don't want the scale of the contained images to change. All I want to do is to change the size of the picture frames themselves.   But I guess this is not a job for Object styles?I know how to do this without using Object Styles. I was just curious to find out whether Object styles coule do the job easier. Thank you in advance for you kind help and please excuse my ignorance.     <Title renamed by MOD>

Guten Tag liebes Adobe Team,ich habe mir letztens einen neuen Laptop gekauft und möchte mich nun mit Adobe anmelden und mir die entsprechenden Programme herunterladen die ich für meine Arbeit benötige. Ich bin Grafik Designerin und meine Arbeitgeber möchten von mir, dass ich InDesign Version 18 also die version von 2023 nutze. Jetzt habe ich versucht diese version zu finden und herunterzuladen, doch diese ist nicht mehr verfügbar zum download. Können sie mir weiter helfen? Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Karin Helmreich-Liegmann

There must be a way! Why on earth can I only find an option to 'unlock all on spread' rather than just a single item? What sense does it make to take this away? I can't be the only one with multiple locked items in a document only wanting to unlock ONE! If you wanted everything unlocked all you have to do is 'Select All' and then 'Unlock'... why did that need it's own command and to replace the simpler version? What a huge, time-consuming PITA to have to reselect the numerous items and re-lock them! I hope someone can tell me I'm wrong and that the single unlock is buried somewhere else... if not, maybe someone can explain the rationale for taking it away...

No puedo descargar versión 20.0 de Indesign.  El enlace de descarga en la página de Creative Cloud no actúa. Tengo un MacBook Air con Sonorama 14.5 y 8 GB de RAM, de los cuales usada tengo 6,21 GB. ¿Alguien puede ayudarme por favor o al menos conocer la razón de por qué no puedo instalarla?

I have to create alot of swatches, and I need to include the cmyk values. Right now, I copy and paste from the swtach panel. Is there a script that can automatically pull this information and place it below each swatch?see example  Thanks in advance  Steve

Is there a way to extract HEX, RGB and CMYK colour codes quickly instead of copying and pasting each individually? Is there a way to select the colour and for Adobe to provide the codes at once? I have a large number of colours I need to do this for in a brand guidelines document I have created for a client. Thank you in advance 🙂

My computer is not compatible with the latest version of indesign and I cannot find the older version to install it. Please help, I need it for school it is URGENT ! 

Hello. I'm working on a school textbook that has a vocabulary section in each lesson. I'd like to format each item on the list to have the definitions be separated with a hyphen but with the rest of the lines of the body text aligned separately from the vocabulary term. To do this, my initial plan is to set the first line indent to a negative value up until the hyphen character. However, since the terms have varying lengths, it would be impossible to define one style for it, unless I ignore that and just do everything manually. Unless, there is a possible way to do it? If so, may I please ask how it is done?

Hi Hive-mind,   Some background: We use version numbers with two decimal places in artwork filenames. For instance, "Sample_v0.01.indd". When packaging these files, the Create Package Folder cuts off the version number.   It used to be that I could package a file in InDesign and simply click on the filename in the Create Package Folder and it would create a packaged folder with that name, including the decimal number. It even used to know to add the suffix "Folder".    Now when I do that, the folder is also named with the filetype (.indd), doesn't add the suffix, "Folder", and gives the following error.    Even if I edit the name, it will still add the filetype:   Yes, I can type the same filename in the field. That works, but some of the files have long names, and it's a PIA. Not sure if there's a fix, or if it has to do with the combination of MacOS version/InDesign version. Also, these are all local files, no server-based files.    MacOS: Sequoi

Hello,   I'm working to an In Design file not made by me. It shows a fixed green line (like a green frame) to the bottom but I'm unable to select it. It seems a fixed element but I don't understand how to change it. Any suggestions? Thanks      <Title renamed by MOD>

I made an interactive PDF form that has buttons to switch between metric and imperial measurements by turning the text boxes with the units (such as inches or mm) into buttons next to the fillable fields. I have Imperial measurement units set to show unless the metric button is clicked. Metric units I have set as hidden until activated by the metric button. I have an imperial button as well to make it switchable.   It works fine on screen, however if I try to print it without selecting imperial or metric on the form first, both will show. I'm trying to understand why the buttons marked "hide until activated" are showing when printed. If you click one of the buttons it will show correctly when printed. I tried making the unit button on top (imperial) with a white fill hoping that would help but it didn't. It still worked the same. Hopefully my question makes sense. Any ideas?     <Title renamed by MOD>
