Hello everyone, Im running a Mac Studio M2 Ultra with an XDR display. When I go through my INDD file clicking on links and such the display tries to preview but it gives me  black (no preview). Then if I move my mouse the black preview is almost attached to it and I can move it around just by moving my mouse. Seems like a video card issue to me. I tried recording it using "Screen Recording" (Command/Shift/5) but of course it works perfect when I have it recording. As soon as I turn off the Screen Recording it goes right back to flaching big blocks of black. I recorded it with my phone. Im going to post those. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have a long document with chapters. Each chapter has different color elements. One of those is the headings in the chapter are that color. Rather than creating a style for ever single chapter, I was wondering if there was a way to have the base paragraph style and then character styles to change the color. Is there some way to automate applying the character styles based on chapter?  Something like  if chapter is 1 apply chapter 1 heading style, if 2 then apply chapter 2 heading style.  Maybe GREP or a script but i'm no good at writing either of those. Any suggestions?

Hello,  I'm having trouble with the colour picker.    If I want to colour a box / circle etc black, it responds by making the colour grey.  If I want to colour the box pink, it responds by making the colour green.    I'd read up online and a few suggestions were to clear the cache (which I did).    It's a bit annoying as I can't continue with my work.    Does anyone know what to do?   Many Thanks.   <Title renamed by MOD>  

Hallo,ich habe ein Inhaltsverzeichnis aus verschiedenen Überschriften im InDesign Dokument erstellt. Hier habe ich verschiedene Ebenen und verschiedene Absatzformate benutzt. Ich habe nun das Problem, das die Überschriften nicht in der richtigen Reihenfolge angezeigt werden. Auch durch schieben in eine andere Ebene wird die Sortierung nicht in der richtigen Reihenfolge dargestellt. Hat jemand einen Tipp an welchem Punkt ich hier noch etwas einstellen kann um die Sortierung zu beeinflussen?

I'm trying to create header images for a document I'm designing for work, and figured I'd use the Text to Image function, since it's worked well for me in the past and I wanted to save time by not hand drawing something as minor as a header. Prompts are getting me the right images and style is exactly what I'm looking for, but it absolutely refuses to honor the dimensions of the frame I've created, despite selecting "frame dimensions" in the drop down. I've done this probably 50 times before with frames of all shapes and sizes, and it's worked well.   Because it's a header image, it's 7.5" x 1.5", so long and narrow. The best it can do is 7.5" x 4.275" and can't be cropped to fit without losing so much the image is unreadable (mountains on one side, descending into plains).   I've tried it in Photoshop as well, with the same issues. Being able to use Text to Image for odd sizes like this would be incredibly helpful. If it only honors aspect ratio, why have a frame dimension o

I am building a template for a clientThe template was designed originally in FrameMaker by my supervisor. It was visually approved by the client so design decisions are final. I need to build an InDesign template required by the client for quick adjustments and translationsI have found a way to create a Table of Contents using multiple Paragraph Styles and I am able to update master page headers using a running header through Character Styles and a text variable. Unfortunately, due to the document design being concrete, I'm running into problems with how the template is to be built and I could use some guidanceMy original thought was to have a chapter introduction using a 'Heading' Paragraph style, and dividing each chapter into sections using a 'Sub Heading' Paragraph Style as this would allow the Table of Contents to automate properly and handle linking to each section. Because the designs are concrete, I am unable to add a chapter introduction. So now I have to figure out a way to i

Hi There, When I publish my InDesign documents online to share for review with my client, they are automatically shared with cp_system_user@adobe.com and cp_system_client@adobe.com (see attachment). Can anyone tell me why? And where I can delete these users to share with? Kind regards, Dineke

Hi Everyone,  I dont know where the disconnect is happening in InDesign 2024 new update - but whenever I place logo pngs that were perfect in previous versions of indesign, they place blurry & pixelated as if the link were broken. I guarantee links are correct, high quality display is selected - and the image files were placing perfectly before. Is anyone else experiencing this issue in InDesign?    While Im on the topic, when I export jpgs and pngs from InDesign as well - they export low quality at Max 300 ppi - and I was told I have to now export at 2400ppi (which makes the file huge and unable to use on some platforms). 

My laptop (Windows 10 with everything updated) crashed and I have to reinstall Adobe InDesign CS6. I have a valid serial number and the installer initiated without any issue, but when it got to the end, it said:   Installation Failed Your installation encountered errors.   It has an "error summary" but I was not able to open it to identify the issue as there's no program can open it. If I could open the summary, I would be able to see what's the problem.   I have reinstalled CS6 in April 2024 and I have no problem at that time, but two months later, I couldn't install it again this time.   Any suggestions/comments are much appreciated.   Thank you.   <Title renamed by moderator>

Hello community, we are suddenly experiencing a problem on imported Word docs (originated in Google Docs): all the rows of very long tables in the documents are importing as header rows. This creates a massive problem as the tables do not fit into a page and we have to use a workaround to get to see the long table and then convert the rows to "body rows" before they will allow to split across text boxes.   Not looking for an naswer on how to do the above, rather asking if anyone knows what is causing the problem? It must be something inherited from the Google or Word doc. It seems to have started recently. Ideas?   <Title renamed by MOD>

As mentioned above. When I go to relink in any of my indesign files - using any folders - the Search for Missing Links in This folder option is greyed out. Have tried other servers, files and folders - same issue. Have tried deleting preferences and going back to default settings - same issue. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling indesign - same issue. Any ideas why its greyed out now?

I have a link to an Excel 365 workbook ‘database’ on OneDrive. The contents are being updated by numerous people, with field lengths varying wildly – if those people have a design brief, I don't have access to it. It would be so nice if a database-connector-like-thing could present the relevant sheet as an InDesign-compliant CSV Data Source to InDesign Data Merge. That way I could quickly* Update Data Source and Preview how my document design copes with any new and exciting innovations in the six fields I need to ingest, which are currently varying between empty, to formatted poems, to long essays. Has anybody heard of such a Creative Cloud App or MS 365 Add-In? *instead of saving a copy locally, converting line-breaks to something unique, and exporting a CSV.

Hello- I have both Adobe InDesign and Illustrator.

Hello community ~ I have to paste multiple above line anchored objects into a document. Even though the default settings is set to "above line", it continually pastes as "inline". Am I missing something?   <Title renamed by moderator>

I'm confused. I thought that if a link was missing from an InDesign document, it would alert me with an error. In this document, there are dozens of images that display on the page, but don't have a corresponding link in the Links panel. The document also indicates that there are no errors. If the images were embedded, they would still show in the Links panel. When I export the document for printing, these images are all pixelated, obviously. How does this happen? Another agency set up the document and claim to have sent us all the links for the translation, but I can't find these ghost images in the folder. Any ideas?       <Title renamed by  MOD>

Hi,   My InDesign app crashed, and the automatic recovery didn't work. An Adobe error report keeps popping up and close the app. I can open the file through "Open Recent," but it seems to be corrupted since I'm unable to save it as a PDF or IDML. Is there a way to repair this file? Should I copy-paste the content to a new file ? Thanks!     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi, I produce digital programmes for sporting events using InDesign and using Adobe’s Publish Online platform. I’ve been working with Opta to try and include one of their live stats widgets into the programme but haven’t managed to get the integration to work so far.

Why the result the table like this. I want to adjust the stroke of all line, but it just outside.

Whenever I reopen InDesign 2024, some old files open themselves once the program is fully launched. These aren't files that were open when the program shut down, so they're not being recovered by the program - they just reopen themselves every time. Has this happened to anyone else?
