Questions

Bonjour, Existe-t-il un paramètre dans Indesign qui indiquerait que certaines images sont zoomées à plus d'un pourcentage prédéfini (140 % en l'occurrence)  ou qu'elles n'ont pas la bonne résolution (72 au lieu de 300 dpi par exemple) ? Merci de votre aide.

Hi everyone, I'd like to share a script.   Some time ago I wrote a script for bin-packing in Illustrator (posted here on the forum) and recently another user asked me if I could make a version for Indesign, which I have now done and I've published to github (the repo has scripts for both Indesign and Illustrator).   To read more about the scripts, including instructions, you can visit the github repo or to jump right in you can directly download the scripts.   What is bin packing? Bin packing is arranging things so that they fit into "bins". In Illustrator, the bins are artboards, and in Indesign the bins are pages.   This is the sort of thing you can do in Illustrator (packing 35 items into 2 artboards):   And here's an Indesign example, packing 146 items onto 4 pages: (This animation is using the option "Divide Bins at Guides", which keeps the items clear of the guides by a set margin.)   I hope someone will find the scripts useful. Feel free to leave

Hello community, I’m experiencing some frustrating issues with tables in my InDesign 2022 document. Most of the tables and content in the cells are functioning as expected, but I’ve encountered some random problems:In some cells, I can’t click to type text at all.In other cells, text appears when I type it, but it disappears after it gets long enough to create a second line.I’ve managed to fix a couple of these cells by setting the cell insets to zero, but there doesn’t seem to be a consistent pattern; for instance, a two line sentence works fine in one cell but not in another within the same row or column. It feels completely random.I’ve also tried adjusting the lines of the text box for the table in hopes of accessing the unresponsive cells, but that hasn’t helped either. Neither does adjusting text wrap.Does anyone have advice on how to troubleshoot these issues? Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I created a book (using the "book" function). In each chapter's Indesign file, I have the chapter title paragraph style's keep options set to start on the next odd page. When I export the book to PDF, it seems to be ignoring that setting and putting the first page of each chapter on the next page, even or odd, of the book. Is there a setting to have it insert a blank page to accommodate the keep options? 

To me, AFAIK, "Normal" indicates an imported Microsoft Word paragraph style.Especially given the little "disk icon with an arrow".But "Normal(Web)"?I suppose the little "+" sign indicates some level of "local override".Please excuse my ignorance in advance and thank you for your kind help and patience.

Hi there,I appear to be missing the large anchor point in InDesign. I've taken a screenshot from online of the one I mean. When the cursor moves over it a particular pop-out appears.I'm at a complete loss as to how to find it/get it back Here's a screenshot of what mine looks like if i select the image with either cursor:I hope this is just me missing something painfully obvious. Any help appreciated.edit: I have tried starting a new doc etc. it's the same each time.

Hello. I am creating some angled tabs (see attached image). I would like the text to be centered inside the tab, but because the textbox is skewed, the text becomes off center. I know I can create another straight non-filled text box on top of the angled image, but I'd like to avoid the messiness of that. Is there a way to get the text to automatically center align in a box that is skewed without having to add manual spaces? Thank you!     <Title renamed by MOD>

I have a 146-page document in InDesign (facing pages), and there is a large gap in two instances between the spreads  -- one gap larger than the other. I'm using current version of INDD on a Mac. I have to create a combined page PDF for client of all pages and don't know if this will carry over to the pdf made from these pages in INDD.   I'm sure I inadvertently did this but I don't know what I did. All of sudden, this space.   Thanks for your help!   Jackie   <Title renamed by MOD>

Good morning, is it possible to automatically or with scripts change the order of a Japanese book to, in this case, Spanish, that is, so that the last pages of the Japanese book are the first in Spanish in the reading order, without doing it by moving the pages one by one? Thank you very much.     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hey everyone,   I'm having a bit of trouble figuring this out but feel like it must be possible. I need to take the contents of File1 and merge it with File2 page-for-page.   The merged/imported contents should go onto a different layer.  Both files have the same number of pages.   I thought I had it figured out when I used Place to bring the File2 pages over page-for-page onto the new layer in File1. Then I realized the File2 contents were brought over similar to an image/pdf and I wasn't going to be able to edit the contents of the File2 frames within File1.   Any ideas?     thank you!       <Title renamed by MOD>

Suppose I open Preferences > Composition to change some option.Two minutes later, I need to change that same option back.The first time the Preferences dialog opens, I understand I need to select the Composition tab.But why is it that, the second time around, the Preferences dialog still opens in the "Main" tab ?Why couldn't it "remember" my last "visit" and open in the last visited tab?I understand it's a two edge sword.

Hello, I need help with a Publish Online issue. To obtain analytics for the published document, I need to add a Google ID. Publish Online allows you to add a customized cookie banner. However, I'm trying to insert a link to my cookie policy in that banner, and it won't let me. Does anyone know how to do it?   <Title renamed by MOD>

Does anyone else have an issue of InDesign eating up LARGE amounts of harddrive space? It ate 40GB+ of my harddrive space when I exported .jpg's today. Is there a way to decrease the amount InDesign takes up while I'm working on a document? This is the description of the InDesign file I exported .jpg's from. I have a customer's high-resolution artwork for many 72"x24" prints. I made a contact sheet in InDesign (putting 6 prints on a 10"x8" page; total of 12 pages). It's all links to the original art files. I tried to export all InDesign pages to .jpg at high quality and 275dpi (each .jpg is ~2MB). InDesign ran out of disk space 3/4 of the way through. The only way for me to reclaim the disk space was to close InDesign. Then I could reopen the file and export the rest of the pages, only to fill up my disk space again. Anyone else experience this? How do you deal with it? Any tips? 

When I open *some* older (1 year old) documents in later versions of InDesign (last several updates), the text in the folio loses its formatting. The affected text is on the parent pages, includes a section marker, and is supposed to be formatted in small caps. The text on the right-hand-pages changes to upper/lower case when opened in the newer version of ID. Reapplying the small caps formatting (either from the Character palette or a character style) does not fix the problem. Font is Calluna Regular (Typekit).   My current workaround is to save as IDML and open in an earlier version (18.5.4), resave from there, and open again in version 19.5. Considering I have 100 of these documents to prepare, this is not sustainable.    Any ideas out there??   <Title renamed by MOD>

With some images Indesign crashes when I am using Text Wrap > detect Edges and increase the offset distance a little bit. It usually crashes after 2 or 3 clicks (0.2 or 0.3 mm). Same image on InDesign 2023 Detect Edges works perfectly...(Mac OS Monterey)

In Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator's 2025 splash screens, the name of the software shows in what looks like "Ringo", a Monotype typeface. What typeface is Adobe using here?

I just upgraded to In Design 19.0.1 (2024). Every time I open a file I get the spinning beach ball for about 3 or 4 seconds. If I have two files open and toggle between them, I get the same spinning beach ball for 3 or 4 seconds per toggle. I've already set the display performance view to "typical" and it still does the same thing. The version before (2023) doesn't do that at all. Does anyone have any information that could help me solve this issue?Thanks. Jono

I was told that InDesign's engineers are working on a way to "Open PDF" documents "natively" in InDesign?    <Title renamed by MOD>

I'm getting this InDesign error below when I try to open up an Indesign file that I had saved down either to my Onedrive or a traditional drive. I also can't open the related pdf that I had created using the Indesing file. I was previously able to open with 2023 version of Indesign but that doesn't work anymore. Any help would be much appreciated.         <Title renamed by MOD>
