Impossible.I hope Adobe will fix that bug in 2017.1 but if someone here has a solution for that it would be even better Thanks!Jona

I have 22 almost blank pages except for cover and 2 pages with plain text, used Allura font for headings text copied 1 image from browser to cover page and added PNG file I created in photoshop - linked from local folder.

I'm exporting InDesign files to PDF and creating paragraph styles with export tags to create an accessible PDF. Every time I try and do this from the original document I created, the tags never show up in the PDF. I have to create a new InDesign document and copy and paste everything to that document for the export tags to show up.    Why would this be happening, and how I prevent it?      <Title renamed by MOD>

Aloha,My colleges created a 200+ page document as 8.5 x 11 with facing pages. They are now wanteding to number each spread with it's own page number. For instance: pages 2-3 (spread) would be page 1, pages 4-5 would be page 2, pages 6-7 would be page 3.  We are hoping to do this via Master Pages/Automatically and not have to do these manually or recreate the document...the right way. Any help would be greatly appreaciated.Mahalo,Roger O.

Hi everyone, I have a big problem with indesign 19.5.Every object on the page is locked, but it is not locked.I can't move objects or text boxes with the pointer.Everything I insert into the page is locked.Why is this?

Hi, there guys.I have a bit of a question which someone might have a solution/s.Every month I am producing multiple reports (30) made specifically for different clients but the content commentary (description) are almost the same. I make the initially report with the content (with words and charts) then that same description goes to the rest of the report.All the reports are templated the same for all (2 columns with Paragraph and Character Styles).My challenge is how to "improve" my workflow when revising the report. Because when the main report changes, all the reports change as well.Internally, we made sure the initial report is checked until it is absolutely correct. But there are times that there are last minute changes and that means I have to manually change everything. When that happens, I do Find/Change on All Documents then export as pdf.Initially, I thought of using linked Indesign Story and the edits will be done with InCopy and using a script to export all pdfs at onc

I just updated to InDesign 2024 today. I chose the option remove the2023 version but keep my Preferences etc. After installing, all .indd files were not associated with the new InDesign. So I went to "Open With" and selected the new InDesign.exe file. (It did not show up in the initial list and I had to search for it). Now the files will open automatically, but the file icon for all indd files is still the blank white box instead of showing the ID logo. I have not had the same icon issue after updating both Illustrator and Photoshop to the new versions. This is on a PC running Windows 10.

Indesign CC2024 (19.5) MAC OS Sonoma 14.4.1 When I open an indesign file that I have used many times on my desktop from a packaged folder, it wants to look for the images on another user's computer where the file was originally packaged.  I also have the issue when I package a file. All links are there and nothing is pixelated. I package the file and generate a PDF. The PDF has pixelated images, like the links are missing. I open up the indesign file in the newly packaged folder and the images are pixelated but it shows the links are there. I relink the images and the images look great.  This is happening with multiple files, not just one. Is anyone else having this issue or have a solution?      <Title renamed by MOD>

Hello all, I am familiar with InDesign's interactive options, but I recently read an article published by Adobe about the Publish Online capability within InDesign and the examples they included looked to have advanced animation capabilities, beyond my understanding of what InDesign allows. Is this because I am a novice at PDF interactions, or are they using other applications to create this effect?Here is the article I am referring to. And here are the examples: Five days from nowhereAn interactive brochure courtesy Morisawa Any feedback would help. Thanks!  

I am working in the most recent version of InDesign. When I open a packaged file received from a client. I am given the message from InDesign that fonts are missing. I then open Fontbook and load the supplied fonts. When I go back to InDesign they are not loaded. I have waited a good 5 minutes for InDesign to sync. Still nothing. If I save the document and quit InDesign, then relaunch it, the fonts are present. Anyone know how to fix this. In the past once fonts were loaded they would simply update in InDesign. Im hoping I dont have to quit and relaunce so many times throughout the day. Also, there have been instances where I load the font and they update in InDesign. I can see they visually have updated, but InDesign still shows an error of them missing and also has them highlighted in pink - even though they appear correct. If I follow the same process of quit and relaunch it resolves the issue, but again, trying to avoid constant quit and relaunch. 

I always use the selection tool (black arrow) to drag any control handle on a selected image frame to crop the image.But out of the blue, when I drag the control handle it 'resizes' the image, but does not crop it.I cannot seem to find the correct help NOT to resize, but crop my image.{Renamed by MOD}

Hello  is there method or something alreay within indesign API to check if there are paragraph style overrides which can product a boole result? I have the following: // Function to check if the paragraph style has been overridden function isParagraphStyleOverridden(paragraph) { return paragraph.styleOverrides.length > 0; // Returns true if there are overrides }The reason being I had this stupid bit of code from a few months ago which really is terrible and would prefer a dynamic approach  // Function to check if the paragraph matches its base paragraph style function isStyleUnmodified(paragraph) { // Get the paragraph style applied to the paragraph var paragraphStyle = paragraph.appliedParagraphStyle; // If there's no style applied, return false if (!paragraphStyle) { return false; } // Get the properties to check var styleProperties = ['appliedFont', 'pointSize', 'fillColor', 'fillTint', 'justification',

Hi Folks,I have one file of around 140 pages, which is in .PM5 format. I read about this on multiple platforms and found that its a complecated process that involves multiple conversions. Can anyone help me with this conversion to word or indesign or simple .txt? Its okay for me if layout gets scatterred , just need to copy text from it.Thanks.       <Title renamed by MOD>

When using InDesign, selecting multi-paragraph, I usually go into the control panel to make changes (here, space after). I can use the arrow (increase or decrease of .0125 in only). But, if I want to go very precise, I usually just type the number I want. THE PROBLEM: What's happening not, is that it change the selected text (instead of changing the space after) to the number I just typed. I don't understand why it does that because my keyboard is in the space after space. I've been doing this for a long time before ...It seems that when only one paragraph is selected, it's working fine. But I don't have time for this!I got InDesign CC2017 and got the problem since I did the update.Please help, it really bother me.

Bonjour Depuis quelques jours, la fonction "magnétisme des repères" ne fonctionne plus du tout. J'ai essayé de désactiver puis réactiviter mais rien n'y fait. C'est terriblement embêtant pour la création... Avez-vous une idée de comment résoudre ce problème ? Merci d'avance 

I have an image of a person silhouetted against a black background. The image itself is grayscale and I've made sure the black parts are 100% black. When I place this image against a black background in InDesign, the two different black backgrounds look different. I don't understand why, or how to fix this. I'm printing this on an at-home laser printer and the blacks are showing up as different tones. But even when I export the layout as a PDF, you can see different blacks in the resulting PDF. Any help would be appreciated!

I have been experimenting with variable fonts with ID 19.5. How stable is InDesign with variable fonts? I am encountering weird things, like, say, having a style that is now Optima, changing it to Commissioner with Flare (Flair they call it themselves) 100 and InDesign trying to set Flare on Optima and then complaining that the fonts is unavailable (duh). And I've seen other weird things. Like setting Flare to 100 and as a result InDesign also changes Weight. So are there people who have done a decent amount of using variantion on variable fonts and had no trouble at all (my situation is — again — special)? Or do people have comparable experiences?
