Questions

Another designer and I both activated the same font, TT Commons on different adobe accounts/devices. She activated hers over a year ago, so my version must be new. When I open her files that have paragraph styles, the font behaves differently for me. Under OpenType features in the Stylistic Sets, one of my options is slightly different than the other designers. She has the I's with serifs checked, which only applies to the uppercase I, but on my panel that option says "letters with serifs" which applies to lowercase i and l. If I turn that off, I lose the serifs on the uppercase I's. I have no idea why the same font would have different stylistic sets.  

Hello everyone.I have some PDF export settings, and when I use a script to copy these files to the "C: \ Users \ ooloo \ AppData \ Roaming \ Adobe \ Adobe PDF \ Settings" directory.I find that sometimes they appear immediately in the list, but sometimes they are not immediately in the list, sometimes they need to be opened a second time to display, and sometimes even need to restart InDesign software to display.There is a script that can refresh the "Adobe PDF \ Settings" directory to make these files take effect immediately.Thanks. 

Hello everyone.The original script could only copy files and reported an error when encountering a folder.Later, I found this online, but it seems to be JS, which is still very different from ExtendeScrip.For example, the original traversal of the file 'var items=srcFolder. getFiles();' seems incorrect.I tried it, but it didn't work. I don't know where the problem lies.Can you help me take a look？Thank you very much.var src = "D:\\aa"var des = "D:\\bb"copy(src, des);/** * Recursive Copy Folder * @param {Folder} srcFolder * @param {Folder} destFolder */function copyFile(srcFolder, destFolder) { if (!srcFolder.exists) { alert("The source folder does not exist"); return; } // Retrieve all files and subfolders from the source folder //var items = srcFolder.getFiles(); var items = Folder(srcFolder).getFiles(); for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) { var item = items[i]; var destItem = new File(destFolder.fsName + "/" + item.name); /

Please help obtain the problem for both paths.Question 1:  how did the version number I obtained from the path change to "Version% 2019.0-J"?var bPath = app.scriptPreferences.scriptsFolder.parent.parent;var Version = bPath.parent.name;alert(Version);The space has become %20, which should be the "Version 19.0-J" in the path.Question 2: How to obtain the location of ocalCaches in Windows?C:\Users\ooloo\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\Version 19.0-J\zh_CN\CachesI wrote it like this, it doesn't seem right.It's also good to be able to obtain a username.var Version = bPath.parent.name;var bPath = app.scriptPreferences.scriptsFolder.parent.parent;//var localCaches = "%USERPROFILE%" + "\\AppData\\Local\\Adobe\\InDesign\\" + Version + "\\zh_CN\\Caches\\";var localCaches =~"\\AppData\\Local\\Adobe\\InDesign\\" + Version + "\\zh_CN\\Caches\\";alert(localCaches );  

Ever since the update in November last year we have not been able to successfully export any files that contain placed InDesign files to PDF. I placed a post in the community forums last year where multiple other people experienced the same issue but now that post is gone without being addressed so I am posting it here again.Last year the exported PDFs resulted in low resolution images regardless of what export settings were used. Now we aren’t even able to generate a PDF with constant errors.The reason we used placed InDesign files is so that if any changes are made to the original we’ll know because the file will show as modified. I do not want to copy and paste the InDesign file or place a separate file like a PDF or JPG as that doubles our work and doesn’t guarantee us that we will make sure all files are up-to-date. We’re using InDesign 21.2 on a 24 inch M1 Mac - everything was working fine until the latest update and we can’t afford to revert back to the previous versions now.I n

After trying the free trial of AI Translator Pro by Oussama Touzni, I decided to purchase a monthly subscription.However, when I try to manage the plugin through Adobe Exchange in Creative Cloud, the plugin does not appear.I’m working on a Mac and have installed all the latest updates. I’ve restarted the applications several times and have also tried signing out and back in, but unfortunately, nothing has worked.Can anyone help me resolve this issue?Thanks in advance!

Mac, OS Tahoe 26.3.1 (a)In the past I have had this problem with Illustrator and Photoshop. Now it sometimes appears with InDesign as well. If I try to drag the active window to another place on my screen, by dragging from the top of the window, it disappears behind all other apps currently open. Oddly, any free floating palettes stay on top. If I can still see a part of the window, I can click on it to bring it back to the front. If not, I have to go to the dock to bring it forward. Nothing is lost so this is an annoyance rather than a real problem, but why does it happen and why is it now happening with ID as well as the others? 

My work PC has recently been updated and I’ve had a new profile created which has knocked off my InDesign settings. Now when I open my design files, all images which are PNG files and have transparent backgrounds (in the original file source, not InDesign clipping), now have white boxes behind them.  When opening the PNG image file in Photoshop or Explorer the background is transparent.When I export the file as a PDF, the white backgrounds behind my PNGs disappear. So it is a display / performance setting within InDesign that I’m not finding. The background fill for each container is set to None.I have explored the different Display Performance settings such as ‘Typical Display’ and ‘High Quality Display’ and all have the same issue. Thank you! 

Lately since the the most recent Indesign update, I've been having a lot of trouble getting the application to actually close. I can still click everything else and run files and make edits etc, but when I want to close the application nothing happens. I also turned on "Reset preferences on quit" but that didn't really help. Anyone know how to fix this? 

Sur InDesign 2026, Mac 27.1 lorsque je travaille dans InDesign et que j'appui sur la touche espace la fenêtre se ferme et cela n'affecte que indésign, je ne comprend pas. Est ce quelqu'un peut m’aider ? cela est gênant pour la mise en page

Moin Kolleg*innen, wir haben hier seit längerer Zeit (auf jeden Fall über ein Jahr) immer wieder mal das Problem in InDesign, dass wir eine Fehlermeldung beim Öffnen bzw. beim Sichern von verschiedenen Indesign-Dokumenten bekommen. Die Daten liegen auf einem Windows-Server, auf den alle Kollegen zugreifen. Das Problem haben alle 3 - und in der Regel nur in InDesign. 1. Öffnen: Beim Öffnen kommt diese Meldung. Nach der Bestätigung ist die temporäre Datei generiert. Beim 2. Versuch öffnet sich das selbe Dokument ohne Probleme.  2. SichernBeim Speichern (meistens "Speichern unter") kommt diese Meldung, obwohl die Datei dann fehlerfrei gespeichert ist. Diese Fehler treten bei verschiedensten Dokumenten auf - und nicht unbedingt beide bei demselben Dokument. Es ist also kein "System" zu erkennen. In Acrobat zum Beispiel haben wir das Problem nicht. Hat jemand von Euch auch solche Probleme und vielleicht eine Erklärung bzw. Lösung dafür?  Vielen Dank für Eure Gedanken und Hilfe!Habt ein schö

Hi! I'm wondering if anyone can help with what I imagine is a "settings" type issue. I am trying to print really basic stuff. Like, basic fonts and vector images in black and white. When I try to print from Illustrator and InDesign, the images and text appear as tiny printed black dots (or, with thicker type, just super jagged edges). Like, it prints like a crappy rendering of the fonts and images. Zooming in on the computer screen, it's all crisp, even when something the size of a 12-pt period, zoomed in to the size of my head. So, I do know what a vector is and that it's not a poor resultion image that can't be blown up. The same fonts print beautifully from Microsoft Word, etc. I'm attaching an image of a photo of a couple sentences that I printed in black and white (sorry I have whack lighting; it's just black toner on white paper). The sentences on the computer screen look normal. I'm using a super basic printer--a Brother black and white laser printe

Hi there, I've searched the community and the web for this glitch and can't find it. unfortunately the latest updated to both software and OS haven't fixed this.Basically, if I leave my design for a little bit, and then come back to it (say after a meeting)I find that as soon as I tap the page with my cursor – the entire layout (all pages) disappear. Everything else is still present including my pages column on the right. But the only thing that seems to bring it back is saving and restarting the programme which obvs isn't convenient.Anyone else experienced this and/or has a fix?Many thanksCarolyh

I am always excited when a new release of InDesign comes out. I have no pressing deadlines so I can explore to my heart's content. The first thing I noticed Is that the icons for InDesign on my Windows 11 Taskbar and desktop were blank. I threw them in the Recycle Bin. and then dragged the InDesign 2026/21.0 icon from the Start Menu to the desktop. I then renamed the desktop icon from "Adobe InDesign 2026" which is more information than I need to "InDesign" as I have done with many different versions when updated. Then, I started InDesign and noted that the Taskbar icon, though it showed InDesign as the program when I hovered the mouse over it, it was entirely blank: a blank area on my Taskbar. It worked to start InDesign, so I thought I would go with the flow and leave it that way. I then spent a considerable amount of time to get my Windows 11 TaskBar Jumplist for InDesign configured the way I like it for easy access to my ongoing big project: InDesign > File > Open &

InDesign has a buit-in GREP Find/Change Query called Remove Trailing Whitespace which is:\s+$It's more powerful than I want. It finds/removes spaces, tabs, etc at the end of paragraphs, but also extra linespaces. Is there a GREP search that will find/remove all the whitespace (spaces, tabs, etc) at the end of a line, but ignore extra linespaces?Thanks in advance.

How can I view pages (in a book) in the side by side view, but give them a gap between them so that I can manage the bleed in the middle?  I’m using a lot of large images and in the side by side view, the bleeds go into the page beside it. I remember this being an issue 25 years ago when I was working on the high school yearbook, and I still don’t see an answer when I search for it...

I have a 310 page InDesign document. When I export it to pdf it started off at 3.03 GB. I need it to be smaller. So I started by reducing the png resolution and photo size. That made the file bigger. Then I changed a bunch of the pngs to jpegs and that also made the file larger even though both of those actions made the photo sizes exponentially smaller. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Hi,I have tried to google the matter but cannot find the answer anywhere. I simply want to view my pages touching each other top against bottom so they form one continuous row. Is this possible somehow.I have gone to preferences-guides and pasteboards and set the vertical margin to 0, but the marked spacing is still there.Please see attached screenshot with spacing I want to remove marked in a red rectangle.

After copying the same image and rotating it by 10 degrees, the "W" value on the control bar does not change, and the rotated W is not obtained using gb [3] - gb [1].I found a script that should be correct in principle, but it will mention 'undified':var d = app.activeDocument;var item = app.selection[0];//No rotation, obtain directly from the boundaryvar gb = item.geometricBounds;var width = gb[3] - gb[1];// If the object has rotation, use transformValues to obtain the actual sizevar tv = item.transformValuesOf(CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES);var w = tv.horizontalScale;var h = tv.verticalScale;alert(w); 

Form InDesign 21.6 when I import/insert file AI, don’t work and preview double image. Don’t work from 1 years ago, don’t resolve when I update new versione 

I have asked this before but am trying again. There is no scroll bar in the list of activated fonts in Creative Cloud. This makes it impossible to deactivate the fonts I no longer need. Interestingly enough, when I made a screen shot of the window and placed it here, there WAS an active scroll bar in the screen shot — again, only once it was placed. It does not appear when I am in Creative Cloud. I took a screen shot of the screen shot that showed the lack of a scroll bar; I could not place both of them in this box. 

Even though I don’t want to use it all, I have activated the entire Adobe Garamond Pro family as that seems to be the only way to be sure of accessing the fonts I do want to use. When I go to the character menu, a limited number of them are available. Yet the paragraph and character styles include the correct fonts. It’s only when I select a few words whose font I want to change that this is a problem. The work around is to impose a paragraph style and then change the font, but that seems absurd. 

When i open InDesign the app crashes. I’m unable to even open the app. I have re-installed the app, which didn’t solve the issue. I also tried installing other update versions, which also didn’t solve the issue. All my other Creative Cloud apps are up to date. What to do now?
