Questions

I’m experiencing two ongoing issues with InDesign’s Review feature that have been consistently reproducible for the past three months. Issue 1: Review links fail to update on larger documents When uploading a publication for review, I can no longer update the existing review link. A persistent error appears stating: “There was a problem updating the artefact.” This workflow functioned reliably until approximately three months ago. To rule out local issues, I tested the same document and process on a second machine, with identical results. Through testing, I’ve found that if I halve the document size (testing both the first 30 pages and the last 30 pages independently to rule out a problematic element), the review link does update successfully. This suggests the issue is related to document scale rather than specific assets. The publications I work on are graphically intensive magazines, typically around 2.5GB in total size. Images are linked, not embedded, with many PSD files used thro

I’m building a doc page by page. When I need to add another page, I find that InDesign will randomly add it to the end of the document or insert it in between the last and next-to-last pages… even though no page is selected in the Pages panel. When InDesign decides to insert rather than append a page, I can almost always Undo and then repeat the operation… and it’ll be appended as expected. But right now, InDesign refuses to append a page to the end of the document.  

Since the version 20, InDesign has been struggling to deal with hyperlinks in the footnotes, which leads the app to crash. This topic is related here since the 2019 CC and it doesn’t get resolved.It's been challenging to get work done with these kinds of problems. I’ve already reinstaled InDesign, disabled Windows Updates and One Drive, deleted preferences, and none of that seems to work.Please, can someone give me a hint on how to deal with it?

For example, I want to find numbers in the `source` variable.The output is null?What's wrong? var source="@m2Title";//Default regular expressionvar re="(?<=@m)(\\d+)(?!\\d)"//Standard Regular Expressionsvar toReg=new RegExp(re);var result=source.match(toReg);alert(result); 

No puedo abrir los documentos libros (.indb) en la versión de Indesig 2026. No abre ni los archivos recién creados con esa misma versión ni archivos anteriores que antes pude hacer y ver. Manda un mensaje que el documento x.indb no se puede abrir como archivo de libro.

I’m using InDesign to create a magazine. I’d like to remove the background for some of the photos I’ve placed. Usually I would use:Edit > Edit with… > PhotoshopHowever, ‘Photoshop’ isn’t popping up as an option. Instead, Adobe Express Beta is the only usable option. As such, I tried using Adobe Express’s new Beta feature to remove the background. It does a great job-- however, once you hit ‘APPLY’, it seems to automatically save the photo as a .jpg without giving you the option to save it as any other file type (that I can find, anyway). This makes the whole thing a bit pointless, as the background is just white instead of transparent due to the file type. For context, the pages are black. A white box for a background is worse than if I just left the normal background. I might just be unfamiliar with the new feature, but is there any way to save those images as a .png instead of the automatic .jpg? It would be really convenient if not for this hiccup. I can still use Photoshop, i

Windows 11/64 - INDD 2026 up-to-date - Intel Ultimate 9 3.5 - 96 Gig Ram - Nvdia 5080I am trying to finish a historical quarterly and InDesign is inserting spaces between words that I cannot remove. I am trying to get this job to the printer and this is holding me up. Screen shot attached. Any help appreciated.Thanks to those who know more than me. Joe 

I have the main photo on a A3 document.  Around the side will be detailed photos or text of a particular spot on the main photo.  I will have line going from the selected spot on the main photo going to the relevant frame.  is there a way of anchoring the line to the spot on the main photo and the frame, whereby when I move the detail frame the line remains ‘attached’ to it?  Currently, if I have to move the detail photo, I then have to select the appropriate line and move the end of it.  That is a real pain and, hopefully, there is a solution.    

All my books (several hundred) are formatted using the Times New Roman TTF font. The new version of InDesign 21.0 changes that to Times New Roman OTF.Fortunately, version 20.0 is still installed. I know from experience that strange things can happen in updates.. However, the problem with the latest update has also been introduced in that version.OTF is only available with a licence, which I do not have. I would appreciate some help.Cor van Wijgerden     <Title renamed by MOD>

 I’ve been working on making an ADA Compliant PDF for weeks. Everything is great except for the read order specifically in table headers. Accessibility Tags are in the correct order. The Order is correct. Specifically the table reads: MCLG or, MCL or, Detected in Your, Range, Range, Sample, Contaminants, Low, High, Date, Violation, Typical SourceAccessibility Tags are in the correct orderOrder is CorrectSomehow I get into a phone call with Adobe.  Wednesday, May 27Goal is to get Acrobat to read a table header aloud in the correct order. Spent 1 hour 15 minutes with Adobe while they controlled my computer to get a table to Read Aloud correctly. They use Automatically Tag PDF (autotag) on the 8-page document. I follow the directions to autotag the document which deletes all of my indesign alt tags. There are several other accessibility errors after autotagging the document that weren't there prior to the "fix."Adobe suggests: Export the pdf from acrobat as a post script file, then put it

Already posted in user voice, but duplicating here as I rarely see answers in that forum…  Wondering if anyone is seeing this?Previously, the Eyedropper allowed formatting to be applied only to selected text. In 21.4, it now applies formatting to the entire text block, regardless of what is highlighted. Even worse, there appears to be no way to apply a style with the eyedropper only to selected text or to text selected after picking a style with the eyedropperThis completely destroys an established workflow relied on for years.What makes this even more frustrating is that after discovering the issue, I rolled back to version 21.3. The behavior remained exactly the same, meaning the update appears to have permanently altered functionality even after reverting to the previous version.This is not a minor annoyance—it's a significant regression that fundamentally changes how text formatting works. A core editing tool has become far less usable, and users are being forced to completely reth

I installed the latest update to version 21, and InDesign won't launch. It doesn't give any errors, but it won't start. It doesn't do anything at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. Version 20 works perfectly, even the beta version 20.6. I tried reinstalling it by deleting the preferences, but that didn't work. I tried reinstalling the Creative app and reinstalling InDesign, but that didn't work.Bridge does the same thing, but it gives me error OXC0000142. InDesign, on the other hand, doesn't have any errors. Old Bridge works, but the beta version doesn't I have windows 11 last updatedWhat can I do?Thanks a lotNicola

Does anyone have Adobe InDesign version 2022 ?Please help me. I need that version.

Just clean installed on a new Mac. I used to be able to use my Microsoft bluetooth numpad keyboard to bind shortcuts to paragraph/character styles, but InDesign doesn't want that anymore. The field will stay blank, but the shortcut still works… 

I have created an A5 InDesign document. I need to print pages double sided, two A5 pages per side. I had no trouble doing this in Publisher but it seems impossible from InDesign! It is shrinking the A5 page down, increasesing the margin I've double checked the page size and that's all correct. and the printer handles all this fine with Publisher. Has anyone an easy solution? This seems like a pretty simple request to me!

Hi,Getting an issue with indesign and not recognising the calibri system font installed. From what I can see, there’s a new version of calibri with a latest windows update. V6.26 > V6.27.   Myself and colleagues are effected, and this is spanning across a lot of our documents. Replacing the font does not fully solve the issue as any forms text fields will not update to the font box.  I’ve seen a similar post regarding this with the same issue on times new roman which is marked as resolved but it most certainly not.  FYI, installing calibri via adobe fonts does not work, we are getting a conflict likely due to it already being a system font. We also running the latest version of indesign. Any help on this?

I have a top of the line machine. i9-14900k, Radeon 9070XT, 64gb DDR5 RAM, and a fast NVME drive.InDesign lags more than any adobe program, because of the AI Generated Alt Text, which is enabled by default and I cannot disable it, as I have a pro plan.Every time I drag an image onto a file, it lags for a good 5 seconds while the AI generated text does its thing. I want to disable this feature fully. I do not use any AI in InDesign.Please recommend a way to permanently disable this feature, as it nearly doubles my working time on any document, lagging with every adjustment. If I have to edit something in the registry to do so, or block something on a firewall, so be it. Please release me from this torture

The new feature auto generates pornographic alt text in pictures it cannot seem to identify. It does seems to work ok on real photos but all complex icons have nude people and body parts described. It seems to me instead of giving a warning that it can’t identify a content it correlaties it to pornographic content. I don’t know if there was no introduction/pop-up to this new feature or if I simply missed it, but auto generating nsfw text is not okay. Why is there no filter that stops it from doing so?   

Hi all, I've been trying for days to solve an issue with publishing online links from INDD files. Every time the export reaches 100%, I'm presented with a pop-up that states 'An error occured while uploading your document. Please try again. ERROR #18' I understand that ERROR #18 refers to a failure to connect with the internet network, but I am 100% connected to the internet - it's just that Indesign fails to export the file. The file is not corrupt, and my INDD app is running smoothly otherwise. I've already tried:- changing internet networks- uninstalling INDD- installing previous versions of INDD and trying to export- uninstalling/re-installing entire Adobe CC system- Using the Adobe Clean tool to clean INDD + other CC apps- checking if the file is corrupt/saving copies of my INDD file to external hardrives- restarting my laptop I'm desperate to get this working as it's part of my job, so any help would be greatly recommended. I'm running macOS Monterey 12.1

I created a new plugin and posted a message with a link to Git to the community, but after that, I can no longer log in to the community with that account. I'm now trying to post using a different account.It seems Adobe Support cannot address community issues. I would like to know the reason why I can no longer log in with my original account and have it restored.

I'm placing 300dpi cmyk jpgs. They look fine when placed.The problem happens when I re-open the file. Nothing has changed, but the images are striping.What's happening?Would a re-install of inDesign fix this issue? 

I would like to understand why the new Generative AI options for inDesign that cost credits, were on by default?Briefly, I have ended up with an annual medical report full of hundreds of unwanted, incorrect alt texts that I have had to remove.To add insult to injury, these unrequested alt texts cost credits! There is no simple way to strip these out (tip: please add this feature) I have had to resort to a python script to clean this document This could have been avoided if my inDesign update had offered me this feature via an opt-in dialog.

A long time ago I had a tab open that explained how to find a font that contained a specific glyph, but it’s been lost to too many updates. Who knows how to use InDesign to find a font that has a specific (semi-obscure, an asterism) glyph?

sur Mac on peut paramétrer la hauteur des petites capitales et cela fonctionne mais sur PC, l’option est possible et je suis sûre que cela fonctionnait en 2022 voire 2023 mais pour les versions 2025 et 2026 (au moins) l’option existe dans Préférences< texte avancé, mais cela n’a pas d’impact...

이미지 링크에 오류가 있습니다.링크는 패널에서 확인 했을 때 오류가 없다고 되어 있는데 정작 이미지가 보이지 않거나 회색, 초록색 가로줄이 가 있습니다. 다시 연결 하려면 동일한 이미지여도 하나하나 다시 넣어야만 합니다.이 오류가 생긴게 맥 스튜디오 부품교체 후 초기화 된 이후 생긴 오류인데 인디자인 전체 삭제 후 다시 깔아도 동일한 증상이 있습니다.진짜… 인쇄물 작업에 치명적 오류라 꼭 고치고 싶은데 답 부탁드립니다.감사합니다.
