Hello, there.I'm performing a GREP find in a document and want to collect the contents and parentPage.name of each found text. But, some of them are in text frames placed in pasteboard. And, of course, the script is stopping with an error. Then I put it inside a try/catch and running from InDesign, it's OK. But running from ESTK the error is stopping the script. (Since when ESTK stops to respect try/catch?)Is ther any other way to validate this other than try/catch? app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING; app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+"; app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = ps; var f = doc.findGrep(); app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING; for (var k=0; k<f.length; k++) { try { collection.push([f[k].contents , f[k].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.name]); } catch(e) {} }

 I was previously using InDesign in split monitor mode to type out some copy, and ever since then, no matter how much I resize the window, when I exit from presentation mode, the window automatically goes back to the split monitor resolution. Technically, it's not causing any problems, it's just really annoying, so if anyone can help, that be great. I'm running on CC 2024 and macOS Sonoma 14.5.

Hello Everyone.When I updated InDesign a few months ago, my ID icons went white. This has happened before and I could always figure out a solution, but nothing worked this time. (uninstalling/reinstalling, changing the default app) I figured it wasn't that big a deal as I was getting a new computer soon. Today I got it. There were no Adobe Apps on it when IT gave it to me. The icons are still white. Help. I've completely uninstalled ID again, tried installing an older version. Nothing is working. Everything still opens. But it is just so very annoying.Thanks for any advice.

When i start opening the app (i tried with Indesign and Photoshop), it starts to load, but then freezes and after some short time the whole screen turns black. Everything on the screen turns black. I had to force restart the computer, or it would just not open the app. I updated the drivers, and its still the same. The only app that didnt crash when i started it was photoshop v22.2. Did someone had something similar happening?*note: i cant open the app at all.I use windows 11, have the latest updates of apps and drivers.   <Title renamed by moderator>

Bonjour,  Depuis peu j'ai des soucis lors de l'export de mes PDF pour impression, que ce soit à partir d'Indesign ou d'illustrator. Je travaille sur des visuels de grande taille (par exemple 2000x3000mm).Pour éviter que les fichiers ne soit trop lourds je me mets à l'échelle 1/10eme et j'exporte également au 10eme (ici 200x300mm). Quand j'imprime ces fichiers en taille réelle (à partir du PDF au 10e donc), je n'ai normalement pas de soucis et les images sont de très bonne qualité. Mais récemment (j'ai l'impression que c'est depuis la dernière mise à jour) cela ne fonctionne plus et les images sortent pixellisées (pas de problème sur les vecteurs).Je n'ai rien changé à mes paramètres, j'ai fait l'essai avec d'anciens fichiers sans rien modifier : l'ancien PDF est ok, le nouveau est pixellisé. Ma colègue a le même soucis que moi et nous ne comprenons pas. Y a t'il quelque chose qui a changé dans les paramètres d'export que nous n'avons pas vu?  Merci d'avanc

Hello All,Since version 16.4, my InDesign has been freezing when it launches.  The initial launcher will load but when InDesign opens the entire application freezes and I have to force quit it.  I've tried clearing the preferences on startup, rolling back to version 16.4 and 17.0, updating Windows 10, updating all drivers on my computer, uninstalling and re-installing InDesign, and uninstalling and clearing the cache files for InDesign then re-installing. I have yet to get InDesign working - but all other Adobe apps work fine on my pc, any help will be appreciated! Thank you!

I have set my account to download the middle eastern version of indesign but the ME type tool doesn't appear? 

When making a pargraph style, I would like to extend my underlining beyond the text. Not across the entire page, but to a certain amount of space for a nice effect. How can I set this up so I do not have to manually go through my sections and hit the space bar after the desired text?  Instead, I would like to add it to the paragrpah style I am using for that text.  Thank you!    Also, I was very happy with the training from the Adobe NJ InDesign Group recently, how can I find other resources like this or joint this group fully if anyone knows? I am not able to attend live due to time zone diffrences, but appreciated the recorded event.     <Title renamed by MOD>

Is there a way to open multiple documents under 1 tab? I am not looking to combine tabs or create a book. For context, I place text ads onto a template. Some papers have over 100 ads and having to copy, close, and paste them onto the template becomes very tedious. Please help! This would save a lot of time! Each of the ads in the screenshot are documents I have to copy and paste onto the template.        <Tilte renamed by Moderator>

Hi, I'm trying to export my pages base on a text box of my file: its a document of multiple cerifications so every page has the name of each person that participated. I'm trying to automaticize the process of exportation to have a pdf of every page with the name of the person based on the text box that has it written. I tagged each box with "nombreDestinatario" but it doesn't work. Also, I don't know if the ExportPreset it's ok. I appreciate if you can help me 🙂(I don't want to keep writting on each file the corresponded name hahah there are 40 pages)var myDocument = app.activeDocument; var myPages = myDocument.pages; var myPage, myTextFrame, myFileName; for (var i = 0; i < myPages.length; i++) { myPage = myPages[i]; myTextFrame = null; for (var j = 0; j < myPage.textFrames.length; j++) { if (myPage.textFrames[j].label == "nombreDestinatario") { myTextFrame = myPage.textFrames[j]; break; } } if (

Dear all,We are running InDesign Server CC 2014 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (64bit).We start InDesign.exe from the command line.We just bought another license for 1 more year, with this we got a new serial number.

Hi there!I have a problem with InDesign 2024.When I start the app I get the message with an exclamation mark: InDesign has unexpectedly stopped.It’s impossible to start the app.I’ve tried to remove the app with the desktop app and with the AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool. In both options I've also removed the personal settings.After reinstall InDesign the first launch is without problem. When I quit the app and do a restart the same problem occurs. When I manually delete the InDesign Preferences folder (username>Library>Preferences>Adobe InDesign>Version 19.0>nl_NL) I can start InDesign without any problem.When I quit the app and do a restart the same problem pops up. When I start InDesign while pressing the keys Shift Control Option Command and choose Yes in the context window, InDesign starts normally. Off course this not a normal way to start InDesign. It’s also impossible to start the app with my own preferences. Does anyone has an idea to solve thi

Adobe InDesign is stalling at launch (During Loading Panels).  Eventually, I will get a force quit prompt.  I'm on Ventura 13.6.7 and InDesign v19.5.  Admittedly, I was pushing the app pretty hard today exporting versions of files, etc.  When the force quit prompt comes up, InDesign is showing usage of 95GB.  I've tried other older responses to this issue, but they all seemed to be around the iOS version, which mine is fine.  Any help is appreciated, I'm under deadline to complete book. 

I've been using InDesign's desktop version for a while and was accustomed to overriding all master page items using: app.menuActions.itemByName("$ID/Override All Master Page Items").invoke();However, now that I'm working with InDesign Server 2024, I encounter issues with overriding all master page items. I've been trying to adapt my script to this new environment and have the following code: function overrideMasterItems(page, masterSpread) {    var masterPageItems = masterSpread.pageItems.everyItem().getElements();    for (var i = 0; i < masterPageItems.length; i++) {        var masterItem = masterPageItems[i];        try {            var bounds = masterItem.geometricBounds;            var overriddenItem = masterItem.override(page);&nbsp

I'm making a coupon booklet.I want numbering only on the front of each coupon.The problem is that if I remove the page number on the back, it continues to count as if it is still there.I want the count of the pages to be on the front pages only.Anyone have a solution for me?
