I've noticed that fonts are often missing when I open older ID files. However, when I examine those missing fonts, it's not that the font is missing; it's that the font style, instead of being something like "Regular" or "Bold," is set to either "Custom" or, in the case of the document I just opened, "10pt," in brackets, of course, because there is no "10pt" style.   Does this have something to do with variable fonts? I use ID irregularly throughout the year, so may not be on top of some of the more recent changes. It does seem odd that these files are somehow changing.     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi all Need help with Indesign documents exported as accessible pdf files. I've been producing accessible files for a couple of years now without too many problems (always sorted). But recently after lastest updates to Indesign and Acrobat I've found that when opening the pdf file and checking accesibility tags – the document displays No Tags available? The indesign doc I've set style sheets – added H1/H2 etc and P style for output to pdf (originally I used to leave these as default for Indesign to manage) , but nothing arrives in the pdf – I'm having to manually set all styles and tags within acrobat. Frustrating to say the least. Please don't suggest I check the Create tagged pdf in the output to pdf as I have a preset for Accessibles. Any suggestions welcome – life has become tiresome with accessibility lately!

I need to know if there is an option to add language in indesign?Is it done simply by adding a dictionary? If so, where can you get such a dictionary? I need the following languages: Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. Thank you in advance for your tips

Bonjour, Lorsque j'importe dans InDesign au-dessus d'un fond sombre (bloc couleur ou tre image)une image transparente venue de photoshop (PSD ou PNG)le fond de l'image importée reste bien transparent à l'écran, de la même teinte que le bloc à l'arrière-plan.Si j'exporte le tout en PDF, le fond de l'image semble toujours parfaitement transparent sur le PDF.MAIS lorsque j'imprime, la transparence est mal gérée : le fond transparent n'est plus invisible, la couleur du fond apparait plus dense, plus éclatante, comme s'il y avait vernis sélectif. Pouvez-vous m'indiquer comment éviter cela, svp ?Merci de votre attention.

Hello, if I want to see any image (pdf, tif, eps etc.) in full quality, then this preview is still the same,  doesn't matter if I choose High Quality, Typical quality or Fast preview. Seem still as Typical quality. Any idea how to solve it? Thank you... Ilja   <Title renamed by MOD>

I have a paragraph style that has a nested style that triggers after a forced line break. What I would like to happen after is if there is something in parentheses WITHIN the nested style section that gets another different style.  I was able to get this to work just using another nested style, but I watched a MAX class that involved GREP styles and wanted to see if I could make it work.  I got as a far as (\s\(.*?)(.\)\s) which changes the parentheses everywhere and this (?<=\n).+ which changes anything after the forced break. I can't figure out the glue that will make it start the search for open parentheses after the break AND the following characters until it finds the parentheses, then change.  Any ideas or should I just stick to nesting styles?

Needing to urgently online publish a document in InDesign but keep getting the 'Document Not Found / The document you requested does not exist...' page. Have troubleshooted, restarted, updated, used different browsers. The problem started approx 1hr ago and I wasn't having trouble online publishing until then. The document also doesn't appear on my Publish Online Dashboard either - so either it's not going through or is automatically deleting. On one attempt it did work and appear as online published then upon refreshing it immediately disappeared with the Document Not Found page. Urgent help please!

I am laying out translations from english to multiple languages. Having completed all the european ones I now move onto Farsi (Persian?). Before I mess it all up im looking for advice.   Are there any special requirements other than using, for instance Adobe Arabic font, setting my paragraph to align right, and using 'Adobe world ready single-line composer'?   I currently have facing pages for my document also also 2 column grids on some pages.    I am importing from a word file also. Any help on this would be super helpful.   <Title renamed by moderator>  

Hi.I do the layout for an association's journal. They are an association of software developers. In the normal body text, quotes (both single and double) and apostrophes need to be typographers'/curly quotes. In code listings, they need to be straight. This is in a single article (file).No matter which option I have for default, the whole lot becomes that variety when pasted. Finding and replacing seems to replace with whatever the default is, no matter what I type in the 'replace'. This is a real problem because I have to find, select and replace manually with a keyboard shortcut. I then have to repeat the exercise if for any reason I cut/copy/paste a chunk elsewhere. And I miss some.With FrameMaker, I could paste as straight (the default), put one into 'curly', then step through a find/replace exercise. It took 4 passes of a file (left single, right single, left double, right double) but was still quicker than having to visually select and manually type the replacement. Wha

Nachdem meine Kollegen und ich gestern unsere M1-Macbook Pros auf macos Ventura 13.3 aktualisiert haben, erhalten wir ALLE beim Öffnen von InDesign-Dateien aus dem Creative Cloud Files-Order die Fehlermeldung… Fehlender erforderlicher Parameter "from" für Methode "open" PDF-Dateien werden ebenfalls nicht mehr im Acrobat geöffnet. Acrobat öffnet sich, die „Zuletzt verwendet“-Liste ist leer… und mehr passiert nicht! Da dieser Fehler offenbar vor Jahren schon mal auftrat, haben wir die Lösungsansätze dazu bereits ausprobiert (Programm zum Öffnen neu zuweisen, Zugriffsrechte kontrollieren) – ohne Erfolg! InDesign und Acrobat liegen in der aktuellsten Version (18.2.1.455 und 23.001.20093) vor.Die Dateien öffnen ohne Probleme über den Datei > öffnen-Dialog aus den Programmen heraus, aber das kann allenfalls ein kurzfristiger Workaround sein und nicht für Programme, für die wir monatlich hunderte von Euro ausgeben!

I have an ID document created by another. The stray line at the bottom of the table cannot be selected, dragging the bottom of the table will not hide it, but instead hides the table rows. It appears embedded. Does anyone know what is causing it and how I can remove it? Thanks much!       <Title renamed by MOD>

No me funciona el atajo "comando + alt/mayúsculas" en InDesign para redimensionar una imagen/objeto. Llevo toda la tarde buscando soluciones por internet pero no encuentro nada. ¿Alguien tiene alguna idea de como solucionarlo? Gracias

Hello everyone, quite a newbie here.    I'm creating a timeline that is split into 3 pages.  I'm adding text boxes for the centuries and one of them falls in between 2 pages.  Is there a way to have the text centered like the other boxes, but split correctly in the different pages?  The page wil be cut where the black dashed line is. Not sure if i made myself clear, hopefully the screenshot will be helpful Thanks!         <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi There I've published online before with no issues, but for this document, none of my buttons appear. The rollover does not display and the inter-document linking does not work. All animations still work.  When I click the preview in inDesign, it too does not display the rollover function of the buttons. https://indd.adobe.com/view/c193c7b6-d14c-41a8-9047-7c2470c5d46d Please help

Hi is there a way to stop indesign reducing file size when exporting to pdf?     <Title renamed by MOD>

I've created a nightmare. I'm almost done with a photo book and can no longer save it to either the internal drive or to an external one. This started happening a month ago, so I enabled iCloud for the Mac to save the files and I thought to free up space. Instead, the cloud grabbed all my files from the desktop and completely reconfigured it. the desktop all but disappeared. I found the files on the cloud, and was able to recover all. But in trying to save the document, InDesign says there's not enough memory. I then purchased more cloud memeory from apple, but the problem remains. InDesign is reading my memory as being overloaded because the Mac reads both my internal drive and the cloud storage and adds them together. My internal memorey says I have 77gb remaining for storage, but the system storage says it's over the limit. I cannot save the book to either drive. It's a conundrum.    <Title renamed by Moderator>

Everytime I want to open InDesign - it immediately stops opening itself at the loading screen. The only way I've been able to get it to open is by uninstalling then reinstalling the app - every time.. This seems to be an issue across the community. Hope this is in the works to be fixed stat. We pay for these apps, would be nice if they worked. <Title renamed by MOD>

good morning community, I want to know if someone can suggest me the pro way to create a document with a header like the one marked with the red curly bracket. In this example clicking the first house icon go to the TOC, every number go to respective chapter number. This header must be present in every page.   last question: to create the chapter TOC like the onemarked with the magenta curly bracket (10, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3), would you use indesign's book function (i'd rather not) or what else ?thx   p.s.:a glass of Amarone (or Traminer) for the best answers;D     <Title renamed by moderator>

Hola, tengo el siguiente problema que no logro resolver: cuando exporto un pdf interactivo (form con cuadros de textos para rellenar) tengo el problema que el texto al escribir se pisa letra por letra, o sea, no escribe letras atras de letra sino que escribes y ves como va sumando letra por letra por una encima de la otra (como si fuera un bloque de una sola letra posible). es muy extraño el error.E intentado cambiar la tipografia de inicio y con algun pdf me lo soluciona, pero con otros pdf no, sigue persistiendo el error. pareciera ser un error de la tipografia que toma para el form. alguno le ha sucedido?

Hello, I created a whole set of GREP on indesign and I would like it to be visible to other users who need to work on this indesign file. The question: how do we keep it visible and usable on a workstation other than mine. Thank you in advance for your insight.

I cannot find a forum post with this topic.   This is the PDF output of markdown from Obsidian note-taking software showing the default styling for hashtags that link search terms or notes together accross notes.   Is there anyway to make a style for this in indesign? Character style underline/strikethrough does not have a rounded corner option, and paragraph rules go accross the whole paragraph.   -------------------------------     <Title renamed by MOD>
