Questions

Hi.I´d like to spruce up an index by adjusting overcrowded rows.Before: After:  The column is 55 mm wide and after each text there is a tab stop (right aligned, at 55 mm) with the period as a filler character. I want gaps of no more than three points (or a specified distance) between text and page numbers. A line break is inserted at the end of the line. A tab is inserted at the beginning of the next line. If there are more page numbers for a term (more than two lines in a paragraph), the same procedure is applied. My idea was to "do something" with regular expressions, but I have no idea how to check, capture, and move the page numbers.

When I update my modified links InDesign will be inconsistent with how the updated link is imported. Sometimes it will update the link with all of the visible layers, which includes the new layers and is what I want. However, sometimes, InDesign will either only show the old layers, only show the new layers, or a mix of both with some layers not visible. EXAMPLE: Original Link has 2 layers. I modify it to have 3 layers now. I double click to update the modified link. InDesign will update the link to have 1 old layer and the new layer or some other combination that is not all 3 layers total.Is there a way to fix this in order to make it consistent? Has anyone come across this before as well? Thanks.

I have a fairly common problem - losing special characters on a data merge. I thought the cause of the problem was with the data file exported from Excel, but using a csv or even a plain text file correctly encoded to UTF-8 and testing all possible combinations of import options results in losing extended characters on data merge. So a name like Świeżewski is losing those non-standard characters and is coming through as ≈Öwie≈ªewski. It is not the font (Minion Pro - and I've tested every font I have), because I can copy the word out of Excel and paste it into InDesign without any problems. I've also tried various different encodings and regional character settings. I do this sort of work all the time and various workarounds have always fixed it in the past, but on this occasion I can't make it work. I would appreciate any suggestions. Using a Mac, which may be part of the problem, I don't know. Slight update: it appears that InDesign is ignoring the Unicode opt

When I open Data merge window in the New InDesgn 202 (v. 20.0) I cannot see the Fields listed in the window after I select a new .csv file. I am attaching a picture of the new version vs. the previous version of InDesign for the same file. Is this an issue with everyone? I am running Mac OS Sonoma 14.7 om an M1 Mac Mini.     <Title renamed by MOD>

I think I've asked this question before?I only want images to scale up or down, with the text box adjusting accordingly, but the font size remaining the same.Didn't I ask this question before? 

My client has an InDesign book (.indb) designed by a different designer. It has 4 sections and is 72 pages long. My client wants a printable PDF in printer spreads with bleed and crop marks. How do I make that for her? I have done it a million times when the entire document was just a plain InDesign file (.ind), but I have spent hours trying to get it right with the .indb file and sections.

Ich habe mir gerade eben eine Testverion von InDesign heruntergeladen und möchte versuchen ein blätterbares PDF- zu erstellen. Anscheinend funktioniert das in dieser Version (15) nicht?Geht das mit den neuen Versionen wohl nicht mehr?

Bonjour, une fenêtre flottante très utile pour moi (Rechercher/Remplacer) apparaît depuis hier en haut de mon écran. Ce qui me la rend inaccessible et impossible à déplacer. Savez-vous comment la déplacer par un autre moyen ? D'habitude, je réduits la taille de mon écran mais cette fois ça n'a rien débloqué. J'ai aussi essayé de mettre sur mon deuxième écran mais la fenêtre reste inaccessible.merci pour votre aide.

I made a request for permissions but I don't have Adobe Console. I get an email every day: 1 pending request is ready for your review. How do I stop receiving this email every day?

This includes older files that never had issues. I've done all the recommended steps — even uninstalled InDesign, losing created workspaces in the process. Clients are waiting. What is the solution, Adobe?

Hello. I'm trying to export a PDF from InDesign. All the markups are there (H1-H3). However, when I export the document, I have the following issues: The space between lines is read as paragraphsEach line is read as a paragraphHeaders not showing up When I use Adobe to remediate the document (essentially going back in and adding everything I'd already marked up), it will not let me edit the headings (I can still combine lines to a paragraph).Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

My account was switched from a student (personal account) to a business account when I graduated. However, even though it uses the same email for both accounts I can no longer update my Publish Online link for my portfolio. Its important for me to be able to use the same link because we have QR codes printed already that we can't change. Is this possible to be able to update the old link without reactivating my personal account?

Hi, I'm building a script for InDesign to check if any non-brand colours are used in the document. The script displays a palette/dialog and fetches all the swatches. The user then selects the required Brand colours and clicks the button to check any inconsistencies. The current script prompts the correct number of inconsistencies. The quick navigation dialog box perfectly shows the next object on clicking the 'Next' button. However, the script is not selecting any object. I want the script to find the culprit object and select it, so that the user does not have to find it manually. Can anyone fix it please. Thanks.  #target indesign // --- Global Variables --- var doc; // --- Main Execution --- if (app.documents.length > 0) { doc = app.activeDocument; createAndRunChecker(); } else { alert("Please open an InDesign document before running this script."); } // ============================================================================= // H

Hi, I worked on a document stored on Indesign Cloud to be able to share and sent it for commenting.One day the sharing link stopped working with an Error message 404.I followed the process here https://helpx.adobe.com/cz/indesign/kb/resolve-share-for-review.html and renamed the CoreSync folder in the Library. Since then I'm not even able to open the document since the synchronisation is broken completely.Don't know how to proceed and retrieve the document.By the pop-up window it is LocalContentSnycSuspened.Can someone help? 

Hi, (sorry for my bad english I am a french guy) I have a problem dealing with the numbered list in arabc. As you see on the screenshot, when I come to 10 and over, the arabic just write 01and not 10, 21 not 12 etc.. By the way, the gap between the first numbers is exactly what I wanted, but when I came to 10 and over the gap have been longer. What can I do ? thank you all. 

Our workflow with clients was to publish InDesign files online, collect all of their comments, implement, publish again....Now, since about a week ALL of our links are not working anymore and we get a 404 or 401. Sometimes, accessing those links in incognito browser works again, however even then the comments don't map to specific locations in the document. So, this is a serious issue for us. We trusted the online reviewing feature 100% and it made life so much easier. What is currently happening? Or other users also having this issue?

Every time I opne Indesign it crashes before opening. I have to unistall and install againg to make it work, but same problem will occur upon next use.

Hallo, ich arbeite seit über einem Jahrzehnt mit InDesign, aber das ist mir noch nicht untergekommen und ich frage mich, ob es Theorien gibt, wie das passieren kann (weil ich selbst keine habe):Ich habe ein Buchdokument, in dem 4 Doppelseiten als Musterseiten angelegt sind mit jeweils Seitenzahl und Kapiteltitel. Final habe ich die Datei gesammelt und dann ein Druck-pdf geschrieben. Da ist mir dann aufgefallen, dass die Seitenzahlen und Kapiteltitel fehlen und daraufhin das gesammelte Dokument kontrolliert. Die Musterseiten im gesammelten Dokument waren plötzlich leer. Es ist unmöglich, dass ich den Inhalt von 4 Doppel-Musterseiten versehentlich gelöscht habe, also muss ich davon ausgehen, dass beim Sammeln die Musterseiten nicht mitgenommen wurden. Export-Einstellung dafür gibt es meines wissens nicht. Hat jemand eine Idee, wie das passieren kann? Danke schon im Voraus.

This issue was brought up 5 days ago and has not been addressed despite a team member saying it was fixed. Creating a new post to hopefully gain some more traction.  Anyone figure out work arounds? Or is it a server issue Adobe has to fix?

I just updated the review link and it got rid of all my comments from the original link. How can I restore them and get them back?

Hello everyone! I'm working on a large report on Adobe InDesign and I'm having some bugs with the hyphenation. Some words are divided totally wrong, like ac-ademic (it should be aca-dem-ic), scienc-es (it should be sci-ences), etc. All me settings are in English:USA and now I don't know what to do because it's imposible to check each word in the dictionary and to change on my Personal Dictionary. Any suggestion? Thanks, guys!

Hi, please check my attached files, it happens when i select boxes , but not always.

I'm using a font with a capital "R" that I want to replace everywhere with its "Stylistic alternate (salt)", which is much more suitable than the default glyph. The font doesn't seem to contain any stylistic sets that I can enable, nor does this alternate glyph seem to be enabled by changing any of the OpenType options, such as swashes or contextual alternatives. I can't seem to generate a character style that will do this. I also haven't had any success using find and replace to make this change. The only way I currently have of changing this is using the hover-over contextual menu, and this isn't practical for every instance of this glyph in the text. My question is, is there a way within InDesign for this change to occur automatically? I've searched other questions here and can't find an answer for this particular case.
