I have a csv files typed with Unicode Myanmar Font (Pyidaungsu Font) and Data Merge import can not shown correct characters in InDesign. Attached my test data files and some screen shots. 

Hello, I'm trying to create some text that has this after each paragraph, as a kind of fancy paragraph rule:♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦It's just 5 diamond characters. Firstly I tried creating a custom line style - the "White Diamond" line would be perfect - if it were filled. (And no, changing the "Gap Colour" does not fix this). So I looked at ways to create a custom line style, and despite Indesign clearly supporting diamond (and footprint, etc) shapes, I can't find a way to create a truly custom line style, and it sems importing Ai stroke styles is (AFAIK) not an option. So my question, assuming a custom diamond line style is not possible to create, is there any way to make Indesign add those 5 diamond characters after each paragraph automagically? Thanks in advance for any help! ~ Paul

Something terrible happened after InDesign upgrade to 2025 version, MacOS's spinning beach ball spins every time the cursor moves, and InDesign is lagging soooo badly (I work on MBA 15” M3, RAM 24GB, macOS Sequoia 15.0.1). Have you experienced something like this? Is there any solution for this?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Dear community, is there any way to create a custom paragraph style to allow bullets to have the first two or three words or any words before the dash be bold and blue and then any words after the dash be black and regular same font?

Hi! I'm experiencing page rendering issues after scrolling through documents. This problem occurs exclusively on Windows 11 systems—both on a laptop with integrated graphics and on a desktop with a dedicated Radeon GPU. The rendering behaves normally on macOS; I haven't encountered this issue on any Mac device. I am using InDesign 19.5.5.

I'm pretty sure the answer to my question is 'no', but I wonder how one might approach this?  I want to apply a running footer where the paragraph style "Head 1" displays on the footer. That works fine, but sometimes I need to force a page jump for the Head 1 text, so I created a paragraph style with the page jump and called it "Head 1 next pg." I want both of these Head 1 lines of text in my footer.  Let's say I have a chapter on planets. The first section is Mercury, and "mercury" shows in the footer until it encounters the next "Head 1" style, which is "Mars." Trouble is, Mars was landing at the bottom of the page, so I applied the Head 1 next pg" style to force it to the next page. The problem is, only "Head 1" can be in the running header, so Mercury continues in the footer until I have a regular Head 1 header.  The way I see it, I only have 1 option: stop using the 'Head 1 next pg' paragraph style, and instead manually apply the 'next page'

Olá. Instalei os softwares Adobe no Windows 11 e ao imprimir, as configurações não estão ficando salvas nas preferências da impressora. Cada vez que volto nesta caixa de diálogo, está tudo nas configurações padrão. Alguém já teve esta dificuldade?

So I'm not new to print, having worked on some glossy perfect bound magazines for a few years. I'm due to start a new role on a newspaper. As it is UK tabloid size, I thought I'd mock up some layouts based on sizes available, but clearly this was before seeing the product – my InDesign margin, trim, bleed seem way out. So far what I gather: newspapers don't have bleed, I assume this is correct. Editorial, and adverts are type area only unless going across two pages where you have to account for the extra 20mm centre gutter.Also, what is this? The front half of the newspaper overhangs the back? Should this be accounted for in InDesign, or is a quirk of printing newspapers? I'd appreciate any pointers or tips on setting up InDesign, or newspaper production in general. I'm sure all will be clear once I start, but just wanted to get ahead.

Bonjour, Help, j'ai installé un profil ICC sur mac selon la marche à suivre (Bibliothèque -> Colorsync -> profiles, redémarré Indesign, l'ordinateur) mais rien n'y fait, le profil n'apparaît pas dans ma liste lorsque je veux l'attribuer au document.

Hi,  I'm trying to create a package on Indesign Server 2025 (Windows). No package is generated, but also no exception is thrown. The script works well on the desktop version (Mac).  try { result = _myIndesignDoc.packageForPrint(packageDocFolder, copyFonts, copyLinks, copyProfiles, updateGraphics, includeHiddenLayers, ignorePreflightErrors, createReport, includeIDML, includePDF); } catch (ex) { log("ERROR", "ERROR: Could not create package: " + ex); } How to find out why the package is not created. Does Indesign server has some extended logging? Can this be a performance issue? Lack of CPU / Memory? Thank you. Tm

Bonjour.Que se passe-t-il ?Ce matin, une partie des outils de révisions en ligne ont DISPARUE : les outils B (Icône Texte surligné), C (Icône Texte barré) et D (Remplacement de texte).Est-ce volontaire de la part d'Adobe ? J'espère que non car là, ce serait une grave erreur. Comment retrouver un commentaire sur un texte qui court sur plusieurs blocs ou pages ? Le seul intérêt de cet outil de révision est sur la précision des demandes sur les textes.Avez-vous une info à propos de cette disparition ?

Hello, I have a number of documents that I created in InDesign, which get edited for personalization and then printed every time we get a new client. For these documents, I printed directly from InDesign, and had created preint presets which specified the exact printing paraments I needed (such as paper drawer, duplexing, finishing with staple, etc.)  Then my employer got a new printer. None of the print presets work any longer, nor can I create new ones. InDesign does not seem to recognize the new printer in order to choose paper, duplexing etc. I did try edting the existing print presets, which seemed to work on my ID screen, but since I work remotely, I cannot check to see if they are pulling the paper from the correct drawer. In addition, there is no longer an option to choose the bypass tray for index stock or labels. The company that installed the printer has no idea how to help. They tried installing various drivers, which did nothing. I'm running ID (up to date) on a

Bonjour à tous, Je rencontre un problème inédit sur l'édition InDesign que je n'ai pas pu solutionner. Lors de la création de page (pour héberger des articles), la plupart des pages répondent correctement à la police demandée (standard sur tout le document) - Ex : Source sans pro - Light - police 9 - noir. Toutefois, lors d'une duplication de page ou même une création, le texte courant s'affiche en "gris", alors qu'il présente les mêmes standards. J'ai tout checké. Cela se produit à l'édition et non à l'impression. Ci-joint une partie du document, avec un article qui apparait "normal", et le suivant en grisé, avec les mêmes styles. Un diagnostic ? Merci !!! 

This latest update 20.4.1 keeps crashing for no particular reason.Building a 100 page magazine and have been doing so using InDesign for over 10 years.Notice that "file may be damaged" always shows as a warning when re-opening the file.It's scary to work in such environment and paying good money for this tool. Every update adds stuff bloating the app with features I will most likely never use. Could you develop a version without all the AI and additional stuffs for people who just would want a working app? Since these frequent updates, crashes have been constant. Maybe you should survey the community and ask what they want in their app, what's important. Have tools that are pretty but don't do the job is frustrating. Sorry for the rant, but my job is on the line. Ideas? FYI computer has more than enough ressources, drivers are up to date, running windows 11 pro     

Will there be some sort of AI assistant to InDesign to help with setting »perfectly« justified type in the near future?

Bonjour,Je ne trouve pas (plus?) l'option qui permet de créer un dégradé d'une couleur à une autre sur laquelle on applique une opacité définie. Ces options existent sur Photoshop, Illustrator, j'étais sûr que c'était possible sur InDesign mais impossible d'accéder / voir le champ où l'on précise l'opacité dans le panneau dégradé.Quelqu'un a-t-il déjà eu ce soucis ?Merci,

Hey everyone, For the last weeks I have checked the hyphenation/ justified type from different top book publishers/Bestsellers on Amazon, specifically Novels. Their pages generally just look beautiful. They have few Hyphens but still an overall good looking Page without too much or too little of a Gap - it just seems perfectly balanced. Now, i tried to replicate that/ achieve a similar result (For the last weeks), but for some reason it doesn't work. I played with the sliders/Percentage within Indesign both within Hyphenation and Justification, watched different Tutorials on that, read through different articles, but I still get too much Hyphens - and if I configure it specifically for less Hyphens, the Gap just looks unbalanced...  Just to give an example. You can find online a Tutorial from Charles Nix, the Creative Type Director from Monotype, where he does a very simple Video speficially on that. After I applied the settings, it just didn't look good in my
