Questions

Hallo liebe Community ich habe folgende Frage.  Ich möchte gerne Doppelseitige Karteikarten erstellen. Auf der Vorderseite soll die Nummer der Karteikarte stehen und auf der Rückseite einfach nur Text. Da es über 200 Karteikarten werden sollen, wollte ich die Nummerierung so anlegen sodass diese automatisch fortgeführt wird. Auf der ersten Karteikarte soll auf der Vorderseite die Nr. 1 stehen und auf der Rückseite nur Text sein. Dann auf der zweiten Karteikarte Nr. 2 usw.  Allerdings habe ich das Problem dass mir durch die Rückseite die Nummerierung nicht richtig angezeigt wird. Die Rückseite der ersten Karteikarte wird mir nämlich als Nr. 2 angezeigt (auch wenn diese keine Nummer hat) und die eigentlich zweite Karteikarte erhält automatisch die Nr. 3 Wie kann ich die automatische Nummerierung so anlegen sodass diese sozusagen nur jede 2te Seite übernommen wird?  Ich hoffe ich konnte meine Frage verständlich stellen. 🙂 Liebe GrüßeAlex

Dear communityI am at a loss here and can't find a solution. This is part of a script which opens linked InDesign files, changes the layer visibility on the documents placed in the opened links.   If I put an alert() somewhere between opening and saving the document, everything works fine. If I remove the alert() I get an error, telling me that the file is already open.  The error points to the last command in the changeLayerVisibility() Function: layer.currentVisibility = checklist[ft][k].checkedState;   I'm thinking it has something to do with async or timeouts. The alert slowing the process, allowing the loop to finish. But I can't understand why it would ever try to open the same file again...   Here's the relevant part of the script. I hope someone sees where I'm going wrong. If not I can try to create a reduced version of the thing.   function changeNestedLayers(linksArr) { var thisLink, thisFile, thisFileName, thisDoc; for (var l =

Hi, when I try to reference e.target.name (should be the document name) from an afterSave event i get nothing. I'm logging 3 lines but since "e" is messed up when I log just "e" I can't access anything, when I try "e.target" the whole line isn't even logged. video: https://streamable.com/ispiob This is for a UXP plugin.Here is the relevant code:import {app} from "indesign"; import {uxp} from "./globals"; async function saveDoc(e) { console.log("saveDoc has been triggered."); console.log(e); console.log(e.target); } function addEventListener() { app.eventListeners.everyItem().remove(); app.eventListeners.add('afterSave', saveDoc) app.eventListeners.add('afterSaveAs', saveDoc) } uxp.entrypoints.setup({ plugin: { create() { addEventListener() }, }, }); export const App = () => { return ( <> ... </> ); };  Thanks!

Whether exporting to PDF or printing to a physical printer, I suddenly don't have the ability to print just specific pages. Only All Pages is an option. It's a drag having to output all to PDF and then delete pages before printing just the ones I want.I've attached screenshots of my settings.Any ideas on how to fix this?V19.5 x 64.

I'm working on a book about Quantum applications, and it's filled with mathematical symbols. When I import the Word doc into Indesign, at least half of the symbols (usually in Symbol or Cambria/Cambria Math) aren't recognized, so I have to go through and apply the fonts manually.  I don't expect InDesign to recognize fonts I don't have, but is there a way to get it to recognize the ones I do have and import the symbols correctly? Thanks!

I'm working on an update to a textbook of the usual cinderblock size and heft. A late step will be, of course, to generate an index. Exactly how and what balance between proper concept indexing and keyword indexing isn't determined yet, but it's going to be more or less the author's task (both as SME and as in "I don't wanna do it"). But in looking at the process to offload this on the non-ID, non-InCopy, typical-Word-user author... I can't seem to find it. Everything revolves around entering the indexing info in InDesign — which as author/editor, is how I've always done it.   Isn't there a process to import a plain text topic list? Other than vague handwaving about "go find the INDD file with the list," are there any specific guidelines about how to structure such file for hierarchical entries, see-alsos, and the like? Or am I imagining that this alternative approach even exists?   Do I have to import a Word file to a simple InDesign file in order to do this? Or... what? &nb

Hello,  I made this document last year - 112pages. Worked through it got it ready to send off. Done. I went back in - and "somehow" the page view changed to this (see attachment). I don't know why? or how it happened. And I want it to be turned back to single pages as it was originally intended?. Any help? What is this?    indesign 19.5 on a sonoma 14.6.1      <Title renamed by MOD>    

Hi, I am having a serious issue with exporting a document with about 8 links. This is a critical failure and I cannot diagnose any issue because the task alert is not specific:I cannot identify any elements on page 5 that would be causing a failed export. When I delete the spread, it just tells me that the next one has the critical failure. This is really bad and I can't export my project!

I am trying to right align the numbers which occur after a colon (:) And it would be good to add the leading dots too. Thanks. 

Hallo liebe Adobe Community,habe das Problem das unter Mac OS Monterey das InDesign Handwerkzeug mit der Leertaste (Arbeitsfläche verschieben) und die Bildskalierung mit shift + cmd nicht funktioniert.  Arbeite an einem Mac Book mit externem Samsung Monitor. InDesign habe ich gelöscht und neu installiert und trotzdem besteht der Fehler immer noch :-(. Unter Mac OS Mojave am iMac funktionierte alles noch Fehler frei. Hatte jemand das gleiche Problem und eine Lösung gefunden? Gibt es bald ein Update von seiten Adobe oder Appel, man ließt das es einige Fehler gibt. 

I have a table 5 columns by 170 rows. I want to transpose the 4th and 5th columns and I can't find any advice on this.  Thank you.

Hi there,I'm looking to create a script that helps me to create blank InDesign documents based on a CSV file.The data I would like to change is as follows:File nameHeightWidth Then, I would like to add an IF to the script that if larger than 5486.4 mm it will scale it down 50%, both Height and Width. I got this far but I'm a bit stuck:var file = File.openDialog("Document", undefined, false); var folder = Folder.selectDialog("Document"); file.open("r"); var content = file.read().split("\n"); for (var i = 0; i < content.length - 1; i++) { var curLine = content[i].split("\t"); var h = curLine[0]; var w = curLine[1]; var mar = curLine[2]; var n = curLine[3]; docName = n + "_" + h + "×" + w; try { var newDoc = app.documents.add(false); newDoc.documentPreferences.pageHeight = h; newDoc.documentPreferences.pageWidth = w; newDoc.marginPreferences.properties = {top: mar,left: mar,right: mar,bottom: mar}; newDoc.save(new Fi

Hi, everyone! I have placed a video in my Indesign document. Then I selected the video and made it to Object State so that I can play it when clicking a button. My question is how do I hide the video after I have played it? I want to close it so that I can see the home page of my design, but it doesn't work. Note: I export it with Publish Online.     <Title renamed by MOD>

When I create a new RGB document using the "Web" document profile and place a PNG with transparency on it, the rendering inside the document window gets extremely messed up. This issue doesn't occur if the transparency is removed from the PNG. Additionally, if I switch the display mode from GPU to CPU (though it significantly slows down the rendering), the issue doesn't occur.   Can you please tell me if this is a problem specific to my environment that can be fixed, or if it's a bug in InDesign?   My setup is InDesign 19.5 / Sonoma 14.6.1 / M1 ULTRA. The same issue has been happening since Ventura.     <Title renamed by MOD>

I like to keep my Styles panels' content organized differently than some other people also working on the ID file.However, the content of the panels (e.g. Styles sorted alphabetically) remain in the order that the last person using them left them in. Is there a way to return a panel to a previous state?

Is anybody else having this problem? E.g I can see the word 'Links' on the right hand side palette but I click it and it doesn't appear. I have to drag the palette out to view what's on it

I want to adjust the width of the columns in my table, but I don't want the table size to change.  If you can help, thanks.

Hi !  Joel,     I also have the same issue ,  I need to place Arabic text from word document to Adobe illustrator  , when I place it , I find  all the numbers in the illustrator when placed from the Arabic word document gets changed 1.0 becomes 0.1 .  the text in some of the texts shows garbage , i.e Arabic letters shows as squares  . In the word Arabic document the majority of the  font is Times new Roman , but when placed in illustrator it shows Adobe Arabic font . I have done the setting as you suggested that is Character direction is default and paragraph direction is right to left for Arabic  but still I get the above issue   I tried in InDesign as well , there is less issue in indesign with respect to font  , here in some cases numbers change from English to Arabic ,   Please share any setting updations which I need to do ,         <Title renamed by MOD>

I have a table of text, and some cells need two lines of text. The second line just gets jammed in there and the row won't grow. It needs more than the minimum and less than the maximum.This may just be some setting somewhere and not a bug.

Hello. I have created interactive PDF in InDesign and want to use it on Goodnotes. All links between pages work fine in PDF readers, but when I import it to Goodnotes all "buttons" are gone. Nothing that was linked is visible. Other elements, such as background, is visible. Interactive PDF from Canva works fine on Goodnotes, just from Indesign it does not work. Answer that it is interactive PDF that does not work is not an answer, because whole etsy is full of huge digital planners which are done in InDesign and work fine on note taking apps.Thanks in advance!

I'm getting the spinning blue wheel continually in the top menu bar when making a pdf. It seems like there's a process that is not completed, but I sometimes get a pdf and sometimes an alert. any ideas? Running 19.5 on Sonoma 14.4.1   <Titile renamed by MOD>

I'm trying to make a reflowable epub file for an ebook, and no matter what I do, when I check the epub file, I keep getting these two errors: ERROR(RSC-005): /OEBPS/toc.ncx(16,11): Error while parsing file: element "navMap" incomplete; missing required element "navPoint" ERROR(RSC-005): /OEBPS/toc.xhtml(9,9): Error while parsing file: element "ol" incomplete; missing required element "li"   It looks exactly how it's supposed to in my epub viewer, so I don't know why I'm getting these. Messing around with the file and searching for solutions online has just made me more frustrated, especially since I know I made an error-free epub last year for a different book - I just don't remember how I did it. I think the problem might be with the TOC, but I don't know what else I can try to get rid of these errors. Any suggestions? I don't have time to try starting over in a different program, since my publication deadline is coming up pretty soon. Could I just make a linked TOC manually inst

 Hello there,So on my master page, I was able to do the page numbers on my footer, Page A of 1 so it increases based on the page. But on the right side, I'm needing to increase the number by 1 in the box. So D100, D101, D102, etc.I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to increase this properly so that it doesn't impact the page count on the left side. Any help would be appreciated.
