I have a book that needs to be typeset that is single-column and contains footnotes, but the footnotes start at ① for each article.I don't want to go through and break up each article. I'd like to typeset it in just one text box, but it seems like the footnotes can only be connected.Is there any solution to this?

Bonjour,J'ai un souci bien mystérieux avec InDesign :J'ai un document assez lourd sur lequel j'ai récemment fait des modifications. Lorsque j'exporte ce document en PDF puis que je l'ouvre sur Acrobat, mes dernières modifications n'apparaissent pas  (c'est comme si InDesign exportait une ancienne version) alors que quand j'ouvre mon document sur InDesign tout est parfait, les modifications sont bien faites !J'ai cherché l'explication sur des tas de forums et impossible de la trouver... Quelqu'un ici a déjà eu ce bug ?Merci beaucoup.

I'm trying to batch process naming exported png files from InDesign. I don't want to do using a paragraph style, I want to feed Indesign a list using a script e.g.I have 5 designs in one document:1. I love blue2. I love red3. I love green4. I love yellow5. I love pink I have a text listblueredgreenyellowpink I want the file names to be blue.pngred.pnggreen.pngyellow.pngpink.png I've tried using chaptgpt but I keep getting stuck in loops where it's producing pngs but it produces 25 of them! It's stuck in a weird sort of loop and files look like this:blue.png with deisgn I love blueblue.2png with deisgn I love redblue3.png with deisgn I love greenblue4.png with deisgn I love yellowblue5.png with deisgn I love pinkred.png with deisgn I love bluered2.png with deisgn I love redred3.png with deisgn I love greenred4.png with deisgn I love yellowred5.png with deisgn I love pinkgreen.png with deisgn I love bluegreen2.png with deis

Schönen guten Morgen aus Graz! ich habe zuletzt mit der CS6 (auf einem anderen PC) gearbeitet und nun vor wenigen Tagen die aktuelle CC installiert. Heute hab ich zum ersten Mal versucht zu drucken und bemerkt, dass ID nur leere Seiten an den Drucker sendet.  Das Problem besteht nur beim Drucken, nicht beim Export. Das heißt, wenn ich das Dokument als PDF speichere, ist alles da. Drucke ich es dann von ID normal aus, kommt eine leere Seite.  Natürlich habe ich versucht die verschiedenen Schritte von der Adobe Problembehebung durchzuführen, aber so Dinge wie "Neuester Druckertreiber, etc." sind einfach nur ... denn überall anders funktioniert der Druck. Egal von welcher anderen APP ist drucke, es funktioniert. Nur von ID nicht.  Ich verwende übrigens Windows 11 Pro, einen HP Officejet über HP Smart Print, der über WLan am PC hängt. Ach ja, PC, Drucker und WLan x-mal neu gestartet. Selbes Problem.  Hat irgendjemand eine Ahnung was das sein kön

Since nobody at Adobe seems to care about this intermittent problem, here's a possible solution: If you are using InDesign on a Mac and use the application frame, and all of a sudden InDesign seems to stop showing anything on screen except the menu bar, but if you switch off the application frame, everything's OK, then your application screen is getting displayed on a hidden screen, like an external display or other workspace. If that sounds weird, it is. It's a bug and Adobe doesn't care. One solution would be to reconnect the external monitor you probably connected at some point. If you don't use an additional monitor, try to open InDesign in another workspace/desktop. - open Mission Control (open Mission Control.app or if you use a trackpad, swipe up with four fingers)- open another desktop by pointing at the top desktop bar, then clicking the "+" in the top right corner- click on that new desktop icon- open InDesign, it should show the application bar again- go to th

I can't figure out why I'm having these weird spacing issues within a bullet point. Please help!!

Please see screenshots attached. The font is currently Garamond and I have tried changing to Caslon but the same issues happen. Any idea what could be causing this? It doesn't happen to every number and I can't seem to find any logical pattern as to the cause. Thank you!

Hi Guys, So I created a bunch of Illustrator files using the aic format saving on the creative cloud. I now want to set them in indesign for my printer.I cannot seem to workout a way to place them in Illustrator. Is it doable? What's your workflow? Thanks in Advance

I found this great script where you pick an assigned 'object style' and it will move all items of that style to the layer you pick. I'm trying to tweak it so it will instead change any text frames with a specified paragraph style and assign it with an object style. I got the first part changed, but I need help with:first part: language to include all items that are in folders within both paragraph and objects styles. right now it just pulls items that are not in foldersThe second part: code originally moved item in first selection to layer in the second selection ... instead I want it to find all frames containing paragraph style from first selection and assign object style from second selection. Any help would be great! Thank you! //This script moves paragraphs with selected paragraph style to selected layer var myDoc = app.activeDocument; var w = new Window ("dialog", "Choose paragraph Style and Layer", undefined, {closeButton: true}); w.orientation = "row"; w.alignCh

I have tried many different things to solve this problem that I have found in threads in this community. I tired to go back to 2021 version but it still crashes on launch. Please help if possible. See below for the crash report.

Hey liebe Community, ich habe folgendes Problem auf die ich bis jetzt noch keine Lösung gefunden habe. Und zwar habe ich in meinem Projekt folgende doppelseitige Musterseite angelegt (siehe Screenshot): Das sind jeweils 2 Titelseiten einmal für die linke und einmal für die rechte Seite die in ganzen Dokument mehrmals vorkommen. Allerdings kommen diese Seiten nicht zusammen sondern nur einzeln vor. Der Gedanke hier war, dass ich egal ob die Titelseite links oder rechts ausfällt, für beide Varianten bereits die entsprechende Musterseite habe. Zusätzlich sollte diese Musterseite bei hinzufügen von weiteren Seiten sich entsprechend automatisch anpassen ohne dass ich diese nochmal neu zuweisen muss. Doch gibt es folgendes Problem:  Sobald ich eine der Musterseiten auf bspw. die rechte Seite anwenden will aber auf der linken Seite nicht, wird mir dies trotzdem getan (siehe Screenshot):Das sollte nicht so sein. Hier soll die Titelseite (Musterseite  A) nur rechts darg

Hello everyone,I'm working on a large catalog in Adobe InDesign that contains numerous tables, and I need to export all of these tables into optimized and formatted CSV file. Given the volume of tables, doing this manually is not feasible.I’m looking for a way to automate this process using a batch script. Ideally, the script should:Identify and export all tables in the InDesign document.Ensure the CSV files are well-formatted and optimized.Handle multiple tables efficiently within the same document.Has anyone tackled a similar task or could provide guidance or a sample script to achieve this? Any help or pointers to relevant resources would be greatly appreciated!Thank you in advance for your assistance!Best regards, 

I'm using InDesign for Windows v.19.01. I'm trying to copy and paste a button, but when I do, the new button doesn't retain the action settings from the original one. I found some info online that mentioned using ALT + drag, but that doesn't seem to work, either. I also searched the forums, but could only find results that suggested the same thing.

Hi all,I have two seperate plugins which is published by my company. What I simply need is to put our help links in the order ofHelp -> My company |-> Plugin 1 Name -> Everything related to Plugin 1                                       |-> Plugin 2 Name -> Everything related to Plugin 2We are currently doing all these menu operations using "iMenuManager" in the SDK with addMenuitem and removeMenuitem etc. But as the menu paths are suppose to be in a PMString like "Main:&Help:My company:Plugin 1 Name:Everything related to Plugin 1", both of our products make their own entries for "My Company" menu item. (As they come from seperate code bases and are seperate plugins) So my menu looks like the below example instead of the above illustration that I have mentionedHelp -> |-> My company -> Plugin 1 Name -> Everything related to Plugin 1    &

I updated to Adobe Indesign 2024 this morning and now cannot save over my Indesign files that were created with 2023 version. Every time I try to save over I get an error message that it is damaged. If I save under a new name it saves fine, but we rely on overwriting/updating files that are made in different departments across the company and it is a real drag on workflow to go in, delete the old file and then rename the newer file.  We have uninstalled and reinstalled several times as well as restarting the computers. Any suggestions would be very helpful. 

How to turn off the outline in current versions of id? In v18 there was no such problem at startup. Now every time it opens and the outline is set to 1 point.

Hallo, ich habe ein Darstellungsproblem in InDesign in der Überdruckenvorschau: Die HKS-Farben werden hier nicht richtig angezeigt. Hat jemand eine Idee, was ich machen kann, damit die Farben richtig (so wie in der Farbpalette) angzeigt werden? Bei deaktivierter Überdruckenvorschau werden sie richtig dargestellt. Unten ein Screenshot mit dem ausgewählten, falsch dargestellten Objekt und den Farbeinstellungen von InDesign:

Hi Community, Someone help me link the TOC numbers to the corresponding set page. Usually, in our process we will have a PDF with different set pages(like Set 1, 2, 3....) attached and also will have the TOC(set numbers) for the same sets, we manually link each set number in the Table of Contents (TOC). Since the set numbers in the TOC can appear on multiple pages, each occurrence must be linked individually. Numbers in the above TOC are set numbers, we will have the set pages in the same PDF, and we have to link each set number manually.I want any script that can link them automatically or any feature that helps to create the link.

Hi there, Essentially my epub interactivity preview window, media palette, and publish online window freeze/show up only gray/unresponsive. I've seen others have the same issue some outlined here here and here. I tried to follow some of the steps in the replies to previous posts, specifically deleting/renaming some folders but those folders do not exist within my Library > Adobe folders (images below). The only fix that ~sometimes~ works (not always) is a complete restart - it has to be done multiple times. Deleting preferences helps short term, but the issue always arises again after a few previews. I also have uninstalled Indesign more times than I can count and again, eventually the issue comes back. It's not the file, because it has happened with different projects and some of my work colleagues have had the same issue as well and as stated, others within this forum have had the same problem. It's so frustrating and I don't know what else to do.  I'

I have a database hosted on google workspace. I was hoping to use teh data there to generate PDFs for me - basically catalogs. I looked around and was shocked at how little support there is for google drive from indesign and almost every plugin available. Only solution i found was easy catalog which I'm trying now. However, my database has thumbnail images and easy catalog can not interact with them. Since I have a pretty structured image filenaming, I figured I could use an indesign script to just populate the catalog with teh full size images.I think I ahve it mostly sorted, however the script is hitting a roadblock at partial matching. I've tried a million different approaches and none seem to work. function findImageFile(folderPath, titlePart) { var folder = new Folder(folderPath); if (!folder.exists) { alert("Folder does not exist: " + folderPath); return null; } var files = folder.getFiles(); alert("Number of files in folder: " + files.len

I often need to apply a Master Page on several pages among some other pages. I know I can Alt-Click the Master to apply it on selected layers quickly. I would like it to work the other way around too – clicking the Page to apply the selected Master. Is that possible?   {Renamed by MOD}  

I have several instances in a complex document that is published in both PDF and print format, where there is a reference to a drawing on a different page. "See closeup on Page 44" being a typical example, appearing on P. 43 or elsewhere. I have created a text anchor within the closeup, and the hyperlink to the text box works OK, but I would like to be able to zoom in directly to the entire closeup rather than the whole page.I mean it's functional the way it is, but ideally I'd like the PDF viewer to increase the zoom level to show the entire frame of the closeup rather than the whole page.   <TItle renamed by moderator>
