Questions

I know there must be a simple way to do this, but I don't have time to do research to find out... I have a 200+ page document and need to change the point size of a single word throughout. I don't want to spend time changing each instance of the word individually--and I know there's a solution so that is unnecessary--but I'm not aware of how to do it.     I know it's a dumb question, but I seriously can't stop work to try and find the answer...     <Title renamed by MOD>

Is there a way I can name a page in the Pages panel to something I can easily recognise so that I can find or move a page without difficulty?   Like how you can rename an artboard in Illustrator.   Hope I'm using the proper terminology!     <Title renamed by MOD>

I am trying to achieve to put Kasheeda on selected character only. In fact, I ahve kasheeda enabled in paragraph style. Some characters are not looking good in kasheeda so I thought of removing kasheeda from that characters or use some other kasheeda. Indesign gives an option. If I change kasheeda from drop down, it changes in the whole paragraph and not the selected characters. Is there a way to achieve that using script or Character styles ? Here is the textاسمہ اسلام اباد، یایہا الناس اجتنبوا الكذب Here is the code I have written to apply character style BUT I do not know how to control that drop down.I have attached a screenshot and IDML file also. Here is the code written to apply character style:var characterStyleName = "Kasheeda"; var mySelection = app.selection[0]; if (mySelection.length == 0) { alert("Please select some text first."); } else { // Check if the character style exists in the document var charStyle = doc.characterStyles

Hi,I'm looking to create A6 stationery that can be printed 4 times on an A4 sheet without having to create them 4 times on the screen (in an A4 doc). Is this possible?Until now I have been using photoshop to create A6 note cards (in an A6 doc) and have been printing these induvidually.Also, do you think In Design is the better program to print stationery too? I'd liek to branch out into wedding stationery. I've found if I print the same design from Illustrator or Photoshop, the Photoshop print comes out a much better quality.Any help gratefully received 🙂

Latest Win11 Pro, latest InDesign. Text is displayed in noticably lower quality when not being edited with all settings set to high. For the current price tag in 2024 this is ridiculous. Here's a video:  indesign_text_issue.mp4

I am having an indexing problem. In the past I used the ‘See also’ feature but now for some entries I need to delete this but every time I do so InDesign crashes. I am forced to trawl thru the index each time I refresh it to manually delete the unwanted entries on the page. I have attached an example of the problem as it exists now. Originally these entries related to another name (BEASLEY) which I have completely removed fromm my document. I have removed the other entry the ‘See all’ was linking with. I have tried every strategy I can think of but the outcome of all is a crash and when I recover the material the problem remains. BENTONBrian: .... D8.Mark: .... D8.Melanie: ....

I'm using MacOS Ventura and I keep my work computer turned on 24/7 so I can connect to it from home. I found a memory leak in the new InDesign Quicklook feature. I was experiencing sluggishness like when memory runs out but couldn't see that I was doing something I haven't done before. There's 24 GB RAM in my Mac and it seldom runs out. I had a look at the Activity Monitor and saw the InDesign Quicklook plugin using almost 7 GB RAM!I force quit it and it restarts at about 250 MB RAM. Now it's 3-4 days later and it's up to 1 GB RAM. Looks like it's slowly eating up memory and since I dont turn off my Mac it builds up. Posting this as a heads up to others. Don't know how to send in a bug report to Adobe but maybe someone here knows about that? Back at 1 GB RAM after a few days

I will have to incorporate the attached formula into an InDesign document. Is there a fairly easy way to "set" such a formula directly in the program? I'm using the Garamond Premier fonts. If necessary I'll just put it in as art (probably the simplest method).   <Title renamed by MOD>

I cannot export pdf of any larger document.   I get an error message saying:   'Failed to export the pdf file.   Possible cause of failure is present on spread with  page number '18'.'   I've received the same error for pages 8, 18 and 34,  regardless of what is on these pages (I've even tried to export the doc with nothing on these pages).   I've completely copied and pasted this into a new document and still had this problem. I've updated and rebooted my computer (rebooted multiple times) I've removed and re installed InDesign I've installed and tried older versions of InDesign I've updated the current InDesign I've remade all of my .eps files I've replaced all of my .eps files with .png files I've tried being connected to different internet connections (ethernet, wifi and mobile 5g) I've tried to export similar sized but entirely different documents   I have lost 2 days work to this problem.   I contacted customer support who said they we

I find it very time consuming to remove fill on shapes (they really bury it in the properties menu!) Is there a shortcut to set the fill to transparent?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi all!   I run into the issue a lot, but hoping someone can help! I downloaded fonts from Adobe Fonts, but they're bracketed and unavailable when I try to use them in InDesign. I've tried closing all Adobe apps and reopening, but nothing seems to be working. Is there an easy solution to this besdies dragging the font into the Font folder?   Thanks in advance!   <Title renamed by MOD>

So can anyone actually tell me the documented difference between "Normal" and "Regular" in terms of font weight? See screen shot of Source Hans Sans JP.     ..because now font weights are beginning to look like a barista's blackboard.      <Title renamed by MOD>    

Attempting to set custom alternative text on images in indesign fails. Select an image, context click the image, and select object export options.   No custom option is available for alt text at the next stage.   Where do users set alt text on images.

Hi Adobe Community. When I close InDesign, the computer freezes for a few seconds. In the maintenance report, this error occurs even when simply opening and closing the program without working in it. Resetting the settings, running as administrator and reinstalling the program does not help. There are no such problems with other applications (Illustrator, After Effects, Photoshop, etc.). Video driver and updates for Windows 10 are the latest at the moment. This problem existed before, on previous versions, but I thought it would be fixed with updates, but it didn't happen, so I decided to describe it here. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.     <Title renamed by MOD>

This is a new one for me, being a bit of a novice with InDesign I could use some advice.I've been working on a 36 page brochure, saved it early in the week as usual.Came back to it today but it wont open and I'm seeing the following error message:''This filename may include one or more unrecognised characters. Please change the filename in Windows Explorer and try again.''First off - the filename is words/numbers with no special characters at all, and secondly, what on earth do I do now?The instruction seems simple enough but doesn't seem to work. Its a massive loss if I have to begin again.I hope someone with more experience can shed some light on this please.

Hello,I found a very useful script to save covers as JPEG, with a fixed width, whatever is the original size ://the export pixel width var targetWidthPixels = 600; var doc = app.activeDocument; with(doc.viewPreferences){ horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.INCHES; verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.INCHES; } //get the page width in inches var pw=doc.documentPreferences.pageWidth; //calulate the resolution needed to export the jpeg as 1500px wide //if the page is 8.5" x 11", the output pixel dimensions will be 600px x 776px var resout= targetWidthPixels/pw; //the active page var pg=app.activeWindow.activePage.name; //set the res preference and page range with(app.jpegExportPreferences){ exportResolution = resout; pageString = pg; antiAlias = true; embedColorProfile = true; jpegColorSpace = JpegColorSpaceEnum.RGB; //add other properties as needed } //export the JPEG doc.exportFile( ExportFormat.jpg, File(Folder.desktop

When I export a document to PDF from Indesign (or illustrator), I would need to password protect the Copy/Modification of the elements in my PDF, at the same time allow READING and PRINTING of that PDF document. All this IS currently ALLOWED BY "INDESIGN"! When I create a PDF with these limitations, I open it in ACROBAT and I can SEE and PRINT IT. When I try to MODIFY IT, Acrobat asks me for a PASSWORD.ALL RIGHT. THE PROBLEM: Since most designers use PDFs to create not only digital products, but very often to send their PDFs to external services (printing service or Typography).The problem is that they often use INDESIGN to lay out and imposition documents. This problem occurs when the PDF is imported into INDESIGN for layout, the PDF is not imported if the password is not entered.Given that the PDF has been inserted with the possibility of Viewing and Printing, why is a simple import (from a linked PDF) not allowed???The password function at this point becomes useless. I would like to

I've been working with InDesign files and links being on a remote server without issues for years, but during the past week some update has broken something in InDesign or Windows 10. Now, any edit to the document will cause InDesign to freeze while it downloads a lot of data over the internet. The actions that cause this, include:Move an objectResize an objectRotate an objectChange an object's layer visibilityBut then e.g. changing a color of an object does not cause this freezing while downloading. The document that I'm currently working with, has only two external links, one tiny png file on a local SSD and one png file (3 MB) on a company server, accessed either via VPN or office WLAN. The document also has HTML links set to a few objects. Windows 10 Resource Monitor tells that it's a system process that makes this heavy download, possibly tens or hundreds of megabytes. Depending on the available internet speed, the freeze can last from a few seconds to 1-2 minutes. 

Its my first time using the Cloud to store my InDesign documents.  Can someone help me on where i can get the version history on each document.    EG. i would like to revert to the copy I worked on Last week rather than the lates copy I have today.   Thanks     <Title renamed by MOD>

We migrated a virtual server 2008 V2V with cc InDesign server 2017 running.On the new server InDesign Server is not running anymore, probably due to license issue as when we try to restart am adbobe server we see an error in eventlog pointing to AGSService.exe error.When trying to restart setup.exe for ID server 2017 the setup window starts and stucks in the first white window.Even trying to run the setup on another 2008 server ( Not any adobe install on that before) the setup does not start.When trying the setup.exe on the orginal server (before mirgration) the setup starts as normal. Thanks to everyone who has any idea. 

Bonjour, Lorsque je veux insérer de nouvelles pages dans le milieu de mon document. Je fais clique droit sur une page et je clique sur 'Insérer des pages' puis si j'écris 3 pages, ces trois nouvelles pages iront à côté de la page au lieu de rester corder à 2 pages côte à côte. Voici une image de ce que ça fait :  Pouvez-vous m'aider et me dire comment conserver TOUJOURS 2 pages côte à côte?Merci beaucoup!

Hello,  I have a script which counts how many things are in a group.   Is it becuase indesign is reading a parent bound plus the image inside the rectangle, PLUS the blue box, so there is three things? I have the following code and am struggling to know how to intergrate a group which has an image and another thing My thought was to adjust this partif (item instanceof Group && item.allPageItems.length === 2) to have OR group selection of image, bounding rectangle, and other thing then ... but I'm just not getting anywhere Any advice would be great Thanks Smythapp.doScript(function() { // Get the active document var doc = app.activeDocument; // Get document grid preferences var gridPreferences = doc.gridPreferences; var baselineIncrement = gridPreferences.baselineDivision; // Add a precision threshold to handle floating-point precision issues var precisionThreshold = 0.1; // This helps to avoid error

Thought for a minute I had discovered the secret to getting margin notes to move along with a page, but alas... Is there a way to make this happen? As important as a slug area may be, it's essentially useless (in my current use case) if notes need to stick with their content.     <Title renamed by MOD>
