Questions

Just like in the Control Panel, where font selection is filtered and suggested as you type.This feature seems to be missing in the Paragraph Styles panel, the Find and Replace Fonts panel, and the Composite Font Settings.It’s very inconvenient.I wonder if there will be improvements in version 2026.Also, it’s very inconvenient that you can’t quickly jump to the current font’s position in the font list.

We are facing an issue where package generation is triggered successfully from the application UI. payload.json files are generated correctly on the Azure VM. However, PDFs are not generated. The system does not receive proper response from InDesign Server 21.1 after processing. PDF outputs are not generated. No clear error visible in event viewer logs. We are currently blocked since the upgrade. Any insights would be helpful

 Hi,I am trying to troubleshoot a color profile issue. Here is the setup:Photoshop contains JPG - channel blend applied to remove blackI believe the color profile of the JPG is RGB:This is linked into an Illustrator file, which also contains a linked vector PDFas well as some linework.My Illustrator document mode is RGB. When I export the file using Illustrator Default, I get a PDF that looks correct:But when I link into InDesign, the colors are wrong and there is a band at the top where one of the links is offset from the artboard. My suspicion is something to do with the linked vector PDF, which shows no color space when linked in Illustrator:I have been playing around with different settings and tutorials but I am not sure how to correct this. I would be very grateful for any help with this, I am new to color profiles. I assume that it is related to the way InDesign is handling the file because the output appears correct in PDF viewer as shown above.Here are the color settings of my

HiHave question for MacBook Pro M5 owners working on documents with several hundred pages and lots of photos. Is INDD comfortable to work with on the M5 processor? I've been working on an M1 with 64GB for some time now, and INDD has significant problems with such projects. I'm considering buying an MBP Pro M5 64GB to speed things up, but I have some concerns after seeing how poorly INDD updates work on the M1. No speed boost, and in fact, the program slows down.Thanks.

We have a script that checks all styles for a font selected by the user, and changes that style to another font selected by the user. BUT, changing the font from “Gotham (T1)\tMedium” to “Gotham\tMedium” does nothing. So I figured I’d first change the font to something else entirely. BUT, when I apply the new “Gotham\tMedium” IT AUTOMATCIALLY REVERTS TO THE (T1) FONT AGAIN!!!! Does anyone know how to “force” the “AppliedFont” attribute to actually work in this situation and get rid of the dang Type1 font? Thanks!Ken

There is a bug in InDesign 21.2 (and Windows 11 Enterprise): our latest files were corrupted and unavailable when we opened them this morning. (Error message and warning sign.).No actions were possible, screen freezesWe were all completely blocked, because the previous versions are unable to open our latest files.Thank’s   

Could we please have the possibility to switch between different pages of a placed PDF after the placement?See an example from the competition where I can choose between all the spreads in a placed PDF without replacing or re-linking.See also this feature reaquest in UserVoicehttps://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/37284274-change-pdf-page-number-ai-artboard-number-witho Thank you!

Guidance Required on Adobe InDesign Server Licensing for New AWS EC2 DeploymentHello Adobe Community,We are in the process of setting up a new AWS EC2 instance to install and run Adobe InDesign Server, and we would like your guidance to ensure that our licensing approach is fully compliant with Adobe’s recommended and supported practices.To help us select the correct license model and define our operational process, we would appreciate clarification on the points below.1. License Type RecommendationWe understand that Adobe InDesign Server licenses can be issued under the following categories:Individual licenses Site licenses Cloud deployment licenses Redistribution licensesDo we have any enterprise licenses as well?Request:Could you please advise which license type is most appropriate for the following use case:InDesign Server running on a dedicated AWS EC2 instance Used for automated document generation No end‑user interaction Instance is long‑lived (not auto‑scaled)If multiple option

my text disappears after i delete a paragraph  marker. the rest of the document disappears. it is weird. i have made the invisible text visible and see nothing weird in the formatting. It can be pages and pages of text.  I am up to date on the app and i don’t see how to fix it. the language is persian. 

I'm in the process of converting an InDesign Extendscript/ScritpUI tool over to an Adobe UXP PlugIn for InDesign, but I've hit a brick wall when it comes to lifecycle events. I cannot seem to get lifecycle events to fire for show/hide of the my new panel. I've tried many different variants of the entrypoints.setup method, but the only events that fire are at InDesign init when the plugin loads: I get the "create" event, then one (and only one) "show" event for the initial panel display. After that, I can't get the "show" or "hide" events to trigger whe the panel is opened and closed. After much searching and reading of other code examples, I've tried switching to "addEventListener" using the "uxpcommand" event and the "uxpshowpanel" eventID, but it doesn't fire for anything at all. Does anyone have any insight into whether Adobe InDesign supports these items? When searching online I've seen many references to "it's coming soon" from the Adobe community, but most of those

If I create an Article by selecting All on a page, will a text item such as title or heading that’s on a parent page be included? Or do I have to override the parent page text box before it gets included in the reading order in an exported PDF? Same question about an image on a parent page? Mac OS 15.7.4 Sequoia InDesign 21.3

Given the cost of Adobe and how many people are complaining about this, I think Adobe needs to fix this. Shutting down over and over to clear this, with only a hit & miss success rate, is not at all practical. I've done the reboots. I've done all the many attempts others have done and I'm still getting the spinning background task manager and it will not clear on a very extensive document. 

I need to see if various things (text, styles, whatever) occur within a book. But “all documents” doesn’t work. Thanks for any insight.

I think this is a Adobe bug.My question is similar to this one “Top of Window Off-Screen, Unable to Reposition (Mac, Multiple Monitors)” which wasn’t resolved. Except for some work arounds.When I open a file in Indesign, especially on a 2nd monitor, the workspace opens up to something far wider/bigger than the actual screen. This happens every time I restart Indesign, no matter what screen set up I may have.I have tried to resolve this, but no matter what I always end up manually dragging my indesign page/window down, and then to the far left, in order to pull the sides in and make it more manageable. As well when I go to a home 2nd monitor from the setup at work, all the control panels are shifting around. Many end up sitting off the screen, or partially on the 2ndary screen. Which I then need to reposition. Incredibly frustrating.I assume this is an Adobe issue that is not being addressed?

After recently updating to InDesign 2026 I now noticed, that PNG exports look horrible. Vectorized elements like path-shapes or fonts export totally fine, only the images get messed up. JPG: PNG:The PNG and JPG ofcourse have the same dimensions, resolution and dpi. Changing the PNG-Quality or turning the transparency on or off does nothing. Turning off "smooth edges" only makes it worse.To my eye it seems like InDesign is rendering out the image in a lower resolution than the rest... It also looks a bit like the preview InDesign generates when you place the image in the document. (I even tried exporting with setting the placed images preview quality to the high setting, but nothing changes in the export.) I'm on a M4 iMac with the newest version of InDesign (21.0.1)

Bonjour Depuis le passage à Indesign 2026, mon ordi ne reconnaît plus les .indd dans l'explorateur comme des fichiers Indesign. Je peux toujours les ouvrir depuis Indesign mais plus depuis l'explorateur où ils affichent une icône vierge. J'ai beau choisir Indesign comme appli par défaut (lors de la tentative d'ouverture ou dans les paramètres Windows) rien à faire. Ça ne veut pas ... Si je désinstalle Indesign 2026 et remet la version 2025 ça refonctionne normalement. Mais dès que je rebascule sur la version 2026, le problème réapparaît. Pour info, je n'ai pas ce problème avec les autres applis de la Creative Suite qui ont également basculé de 2025 à 2026. Pas de souci non plus avec Indeisgn ou tout autre appli sur mon ordi portable aussi connecté à ma Creative Suite. Ca donne plutôt l'impression d'une désinstallation d'Indesign 2025 mal faite sur cet ordi ...

I was trying to change my document size to a smaller page size and it had no effect even with preview button checked on. No matter what preset size I selected or custom size I created had no effect.I saved the document and recreated a new document from scratch and then it worked.  Not sure if this is a software glitch known to anyone using the latest InDesign. P.S. never seen this glitch before.??

I am getting this notification whenever I drag and drop image into InDesign. This has started coming up ever since I updated to version 21.3. It is very annoying. When I close it and drag and drop another image, it comes again. I have turned off this feature but this popup appears the moment I bring any image in any document. What should I do to permanently disable it? 

I want the image to fit within the page margins, with any excess areas cropped from the top and right sides.When the image is on the left page, there’s no problem.When the image is on the right page, after running the script, only the frame fits the page layout, but the image itself disappears.I’ve been trying to figure this out for a while and suspect it might be because the image extends too far to the right.Am I using FitOptions incorrectly?Or is there something wrong with the move command?Thanks.var doc = app.activeDocument;var item = doc.selection[0]; var items = doc.selection; var s = item;s.geometricBounds = [40, 30, 247, 190];s.fit(FitOptions.PROPORTIONALLY);s.fit(FitOptions.FILL_PROPORTIONALLY);alert('This part is still correct.');var img = s.images[0];var mcy = s.geometricBounds[2] - img.geometricBounds[2]var mcx = s.geometricBounds[3] - img.geometricBounds[3]img.move([0, 0], [-mcx, +mcy]); 

I have added a new Mac device to my CC plan. None of the Adobe fonts are sycing (I’ve tried toggling fonts on and off in the CC app) and all my Indesign files look like the attached (grayed out) Ive done right-click and open with and it is still not recognizing the file type. Any suggestions? 

the original text field is fine, but the copied version always blends out due to being overset. is there a fix/bug or something i need to consider copying text fields?i’m using indesign for 8 years now, primarily on typgraphic products so normally i’m a confident user.

I ran into a problem yesterday with placed images in my document not showing up properly when I exported the file to PDF. It was only some of the pictures, not all of them. At first I thought that there was something wrong with the original image files, so I re-saved them and even went so far as to delete the placed images and place them again. I reset the preferences. Nothing worked.Until now. I’m posting this in case anyone else runs into this problem. It turns out that the fill color of the rectangle behind the placed images had been accidentally set to spot color. Deleting that swatch and replacing it with a regular color swatch fixed everything. Hope this helps.
