Questions

Having a really bad experience with Indesign at moment. Been using for about 12 years, on latest cloud version.  Objects such as drawn indesign objects and svg are suddenly going missing when Publishing Online.  All since 3rd March (yesterday).  Have rolled back to earlier file version, but also having the same problems, wondering if it's a program software issue?   Any help appreciated

Is there an easy way to put a stroke around a square/rectangle but for it only to appear on 3 or 2 sides? Besides using the pen tool and then adding a stroke to two intersecting lines.   I love the Corner Option where you can manually select each corner to customize it (ie, only one corner round vs all). Wish there was this feature for STROKE   Thank you   <Title renamed by MOD>

Bonjour, voilà mon problème, nous travaillons à plusieurs sur des documents InDesign et avec la fonctionnalité Partage pour révision les autres collaborateurs ne peuvent pas modifier le document InDesign et mettre à jour la Révision, un message d'erreur leur indique qu'ils ne sont pas les créateurs du lien de révision. Ma question, comment donner l'autorisation au autre collaborateur de mettre à jour le lien de révision. Merci pour votre réponse.

Having a weird issue currently when I bring a jpg image into my file it is randomly removing parts of the file as per the screen shot.  I can't really explain what happens,   If I cut the background out and import as a png it seems fine, but I don't have time to remove backgrounds on every sing image I am creating a large catalogue. I have tried importing into a completely blank file and it still happens. when I open in photoshop it is a complete image.Have also tried closing indesign and restarting computer. have a decent computer with 64gb ram, 2tb nvme drive which has 1.44 tb free and a asus rtx 4070 121gb graphics card so system should be more than adequate. Any help would be appreciated.

On my Mac Studio, The workspace windows on all my Adobe products shift down by several hundred pixels every time the screen saver comes on. I'm trying to understand if this is a known issue or unique to my system. It's just weird. See screen shots   <Title renamed by moderator>

how to add alt text in hyperlinks using indesign javascript...!

Hello,    I have a pictures section in a book I am working on. Each picture has a short caption in its own text box with a 'caption' paragraph style applied which has the text centered.  When I open the exported epub in a Kindle or Kindle viewer, the caption is broken into two lines even though there should be plenty of room to keep it a single line.   I've attached three pics: InDesign shows how it looks before export;  Kindle shows how the line breaks early; and Apple shows the epub in Apple Books - oddly enough it looks OK there.   Any idea how to have the captions stick to one line until absolutely necessary?    Thanks!   <Title renamed by MOD>

I turned off the facing pages setting in my file, and now it only applies to the right-hand side of my parent pages on every page. Does anyone know what's going on? Thank you so much in advance!!!!

I've been using InDesign CS6 with Creative Cloud for years---that's what the publisher I work for uses. No problems until today, when I opened it and the PDApp opened and said the trial version had expired. There is no trial version---I've been paying $20+ a month for CC, and everything was fine until today. There was a power outage last week. Did I get signed out, and did that ruin my ability to open/use CS6. The online and phone support was no help---they just told me to get the latest version, which isn't an option right now.

IF I didn't rely on this program, I would deleted it from my computer.  InDesign "help" is beyond useless:  difficult or impossible to find answers to find anything.  Now answers to many simple, obvious questions.  <disparaging personal remarks removed>  Unless they were instructed by Adobe Management to cut costs until "support" was a joke that they would not have to maintain anymore.  Seriously, this is criminal, especially in light of subscription raises. At the next InDesign event I'm going to bring a bullhorn and make the lives of all the Creative Pro sycophants who think Adobe is so god-like, as miserable as possible.  If it wasn't for Googleing actual users for solutions, I would never have anything explained to me.  

I'm working on a book created in PowerPoint (eek!). I know I can make PDFs of all the PPT pages and then place them page by page (126 pages) into a blank InDesign document, but is there any way to export/import the whole PPT doc into InD? HOLD THE PRESSES! I found https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/place-a-multipage-pdf-in-indesign/td-p/11343293 and it worked perfectly!!

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,Je fais face à un très gros problème.Un fichier a été validé (livre de 440 pages), donc je m'en vais générer le sommaire. Ce faisant, je m'aperçois que j'ai utilisé un même style pour deux problèmes distincts, je créé un nouveau style et me mets à l'appliquer aux endroits adéquats. Et là : erreur adobe, le document se referme. Je l'ouvre et lance la récupération, et c'est là que les embrouilles commencent. Le texte a disparu. Pourtant, il doit bien être là, car on voit distinctement les séparations des notes de bas de page.J'en ai par la suite fait une copie, un export en idml... toujours le même résultat. J'ai tenté un assemblage pour me l'envoyer sur un autre PC, plus rien ne répondait. Après 15 longues minutes, j'ai mis fin avec le gestionnaire de tâches. En rouvrant, ils me proposent de lancer une récupération. Lorsque j'accepte, l'ensemble du document se ferme avec un message d'erreur, et cela, en boucle.Je ne comprends pas du tout ce qui a pu se passer

I might be asking for the moon... To avoid bogging down while working. we have documents linked to low-res JPGs on our smb network. When it comes time to print, we make a temporary copy of the document and relink to high-res PSDs in order to make a print PDF. The "Relink to Folder > Match Filename but this Extension" is perfect except... most of our thousands of high-res images are in individual subfolders. Right now our individual users search for and copy high-res images (might be 60+ for one document) temporarily to a single folder on their desktops and relink to that folder with the "extensions" option on... Ugh. I found a cool script on YouTube to search subfolders, but does anyone know of a script to both relink to images with different extensions AND search subfolders? Thanks.

Bonjour à tous,  Je suis une jeune graphiste qui utilise donc beaucoup Indesign et récemment il ne cessait de mouliner. Dès que je bougeais un bloc texte ou que je commencais à écrire , il ramait (avec le curseur qui devient multicolor). Et depuis hier, j'ouvre l'application, tout semble fonctionner et d'un coup j'ai un message qui me demande si je souhaite enregistrer mon ficher et indesign se ferme tout seul.  C'est entrain de me rendre folle, d'autant plus que je travaille sur un projet pour un client... Si quelqu'un à une solution je suis preneuse !  Merci d'avance

I placed a .psd into my InDesign project from the creative cloud, and for a while it was working great. Whenever I would update the Photoshop document, a simple reload would refresh the changes into the InDesign doc. However, I had some technical issues and was forced to uninstall and then reinstall InDesign. Now the .psd needs to be relinked, but for the life of me I can find no option to link a document from the creative cloud.  (I know I could just dowload the .psd and then relink it from my hard drive, but I feel like I'm going insane not being able to find this button.)

I recently finished my book and am in need of a good editing and layout program. I'm looking at indesign vs Pro adobe and am wondering which one is the more comprehensive app. Any experiance advice would be helpful. Also, what is the learning curve? 

Mac OS - 14.6.1 (23G93) Mac Studio - Apple M1 Max | 64GB RAM InDesign - 19.5 Preview on PC - PRIOR to placing image Preview Mode - PRIOR to placing image Prieview mode - AFTER placing image NOTE the edge at the bottom now has a margin as well as my pasteboard isn't visible. PLEASE HELP. I've been using InDesign since it's release in 1999 and I've never had this problem till after the latest update. My work requires me to be on the latest version. However, it prints fine. So at least there's that.   <Title renamed by MOD>

I have a multi-page table that leaves huge gaps where large rows move to the next page. I had found a script that split table rows across pages, and it was terrific. However, I changed to a new computer and, alas, the script didn't make the trip with me 😞 I can't remember the name of it and I haven't been able to find it again. Does anyone know of this script?  I see many votes in the community for this feature, and it's hard to understand why Adobe can't manage to do this if an independent scripter figured it out.

Hello! I have 1200 single InDesign files which I need to save as high resolution pdf's.I cannot find a way to make a shortcut key to the pdf preset I made.Is there an easy way to save all these files with a simple click of a button? Susan

After extracting the IDML file, I checked the `TextFrame` elements in the `Spreads.xml` file.   However, when I calculate the position using a matrix, I get negative values.   The document size and the `TextFrame` size are calculated correctly, but I’m not sure how to properly calculate the position.   Can you help me with this?     * I am using Python.     <Title renamed by MOD>

I am having a significant issue with ALL of my InDesign files not saving after I make a single change. An error message comes up. See the screenshot attached.   It says I have another version open, but I do not, and I am the only one in our system working on these files off a server. It won't allow saving, and it also won't allow SAVE AS. Is anyone else having this major issue? I can not work on any of our art files.   <Title renamed by moderator>
