Questions

I have a huge file of data, which I have put into a table in Indesign. It will be made into a printed book.Since the width of the book page is wider than the table, I set the page text box as 2 columns so that the table is now twice on each page.  The issue is that the rows are not all the same height so the 2 columns do not line up at the bottom of the page.Is there any way to sort this?

Hello everyone.If I select some rows, the first line of the current column is this:curLine0=app.selection[0].textColumns[0].lines[0];Is there a simple way to know which line curLine0 is in the story?Do I still need to count the characters? 

Hello,I know that ID can make some presentations slides then export them in an interactive PDF.But for people that do not have ID nor Acrobat, what are the Adobe solutions in order to create and share some interactive documents : I need only to create some slides and it is the user that will use the right arrow in order to go to the next slide.

I have a parent page with a footer.  The same footer (with the same section name) is repeated on other pages.  On one page out of 67, there is an overset text error, although the footer looks fine (no text missing).  I right-clicked on the page thumbnail and clicked Apply Parent to Page, but that didn't solve the problem.  When I click off the footer in the layers panel, the error goes away.  Any suggestions?

I am working on a 64 page book and am having an issue with the table of contents, all probably due to stupidity on my part. I did not like the original TOC for the book and deleted it and put in a new one – and apparently I left a fragment of the old one or some other mistake.In any case there is some kind of object that is offsetting page 15 in my TOC. I have no idea how it got there, what it is or how to remove it. I have looked in the story editor and cannot find it there – and I cannot select it.I'm certain there is a solution that I certainly do not know. The screenshot shows the object and what it is doing, along with a copy of the TOCmessed up TOCoff the page that is displaying correctly.I will appreciate any and all help.Thanks to those who know more than me,Joe

Hello Adobe InDesign team,I am André Coelho from Brennimark Fonts. We downloaded and installed the InDesign Plug-in SDK 21.9 for macOS and are validating an official sample before creating any product plug-in.On macOS with Xcode 27.1, the official CustomActionFilter.sdk.xcodeproj target Debug_Cocoa64 compiles the sample sources and SDK headers up to the link step. The link fails because the downloaded SDK does not contain the package folder that the sample project references:- libPublicPlugIn.a- InDesignModelAndUI.frameworkThe missing paths are under build/mac/debug_cocoa64/packagefolder/contents/macos. I also inspected the other Xcode sample projects: they reference the same debug_cocoa64 or release_cocoa64 packagefolder structure, so choosing another sample does not avoid this dependency.I checked the local Adobe InDesign 2026 installation. It contains the app framework but not libPublicPlugIn.a or the package folder expected by the SDK examples.Could you please indicate the official

There is a premise here: do not modify the baseline offset of the first line, let it default to 0.The offset type of the sample is' full angle box height '. The same problem exists when switching to other types.I used the formula in the picture, but I feel that the font size and line spacing have improved, and the correction I provided is also unreliable.Do you have any better suggestions?Thank you .I can't upload pictures

I am writing to report an issue I have been experiencing while using Behance.As shown in the attached screenshot, many project thumbnails on the Behance Explore page are not loading correctly. Instead of displaying the actual project images, the thumbnails appear as blank colored blocks with broken image icons and incomplete image titles.This issue significantly affects my browsing experience, as I use Behance regularly for architectural inspiration, interior design references, and professional creative research.I would appreciate it if your technical team could investigate this issue and help identify the cause. I would also like to know whether this is a known issue affecting other users or if there is a specific solution I should follow.Please find the screenshot attached for reference.

Hello everyone. My margin guides have disappeared. Also, all text frame borders are hidden by default — they only show up when I click on them. They used to be visible all the time by default, though. Does anyone know why this is happening? 

Indesign 21.6 x 64 Windows 11I am working on a book with a lot of captions and need a style or shortcut that will set the caption box to a specific width. If it would also set the height to fit the content will be a bonus.  Thanks to those who know more than me,Joe

# [Free Script] QC Master Dashboard v1.9 – Automated Prepress Audit & 1-Click Fixing Tool for Adobe InDesign ### Why Native Preflight Isn't EnoughAdobe InDesign’s built-in Live Preflight is great for catching missing links and overset text, but in high-volume commercial printing and packaging, native preflight has two major limitations:1. It only flags errors—it cannot automatically fix them. Operators still have to find and resolve issues manually.2. It cannot audit custom shop SOPs, such as accidental 4-color rich blacks, unapproved black tints, unwanted font ligatures, background fills behind placed graphics, or regional URL restrictions.To solve this, I developed QC Master Dashboard (v1.9)—a fast, lightweight, dual-column interactive audit and one-click fixing tool designed for commercial prepress operators and production artists.---### Key Features & What It Audits#### 1. Strict Black Color Audit & Fix (No Rich Black / 100% Solid & 80% Tint Only)* The Rule: Acciden

We are working with an Indesign file where the pages suddenly turns grey, and the content on the pages dissapears. - We have tried saving the document as an idml file, but cannot open it.- We are using Indesign version 19.1 and have tried to open it in an older version, but that didn't solve the problem.- We have also tried to turn of the CPU to no avail.Does anyone have any suggestions to solve the problem? That would really be a great help - else it will be MANY hours wasted...

Hello everyone.Assumption:My text box has two columns, and the first column has 12 lines. When I use the following code to select, it will report an error.var d = app.activeDocument;var item = app.selection[0];item.texts[0].textColumns[0].itemByRange(0, 15).select();The reason is that it exceeds 12 lines.But I used the following, which only applies to the left column and not to the right column, because it starts selecting from the 0th lines of the left column(it should from right lines 0th):var d = app.activeDocument;var item = app.selection[0];item.texts[0].parentTextFrames[0].lines.itemByRange(0, 20).select();I want it to be applicable to any single column.Or any column in multiple columns, how can I modify it.Thnak you very much.The forum still cannot upload images

What is happeningThe table starts at the top of a large text frame, but only a few rows appear on the page. The remaining table content continues on the following page, even though there is a very large amount of unused space underneath the first part of the table.I would like the table to flow together properly and, if possible, keep it on one page rather than having it split across pages unnecessarily.What I've tried  Checked Object → Text Frame Options. Vertical Justification is already set to Top. Checked Cell Options → Rows and Columns. Row Height is set to At Least, with a minimum of 0p3 and a maximum of 50p0. Turned on Show Hidden Characters but could not identify anything obvious that would explain the problem. Removed the footnote that was previously at the bottom of the frame, but the issue remained. Tried cutting and pasting part of the table to rearrange it, but this caused unexpected behaviour, so I stopped to avoid damaging the table. How can I make the table fit

I have a RIP that I rarely use but only works with version 12. (2017) i noticed that I can only download version 13 and 14 now.Will I be able to get a copy of v.12?

Dear Adobe Product Team,InCopy continues to be presented as Adobe's professional tool for authors, editors, journalists and content creators, while InDesign is primarily used for layout and production workflows. However, the recent AI-powered writing capabilities introduced in InDesign, including AI Assistant, Rewrite, Summarize, Change Tone, Expand Text and Condense Text, are not available to InCopy users. This creates a significant contradiction in editorial workflows: the users who actually create and edit content are unable to access the AI tools specifically designed to support content creation, while those tools are available in the layout application. Could Adobe please clarify its strategic direction?1 Is there a plan to bring AI writing and editing capabilities to InCopy without requiring an InDesign license?2 If not, should customers consider Share for Text Editing / InCopy on the web (beta) as the future platform for content authoring and editorial collaboration?Many enterpr

I need to stop the annoying pop up that is asking from me to use adobe express. 

Hi everyone,I'm experiencing a persistent lag when importing images into Adobe InDesign v21.6 on Windows 11 (v 25H2).Whenever I place an image, either by dragging and dropping it into InDesign or using the Place command there's a noticeable delay of approximately 6–7 seconds before the image appears.The strange thing is that the lag occurs regardless of the image's file size. Even small images of around 500 KB take the same amount of time to import.My system specifications: Processor: Intel Core i7 (12th Gen) RAM: 64 GB Storage: 2 TB NVMe SSD GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 What's particularly frustrating is that I never experienced this issue on my much older, lower-spec machine back in 2016, which had an Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB RAM, and an NVIDIA GTX 1050.Troubleshooting steps I've already tried: Resetting InDesign preferences using Ctrl + Alt + Shift during startup. Manually deleting the preferences folder:C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 21.0\en

In eerste instantie kon ik mijn werk niet opgeslagen krijgen in Indesign. Na erin te blijven werken, is bij het exporteren de inhoud van mijn bestand kwijt geraakt en is nog maar een heel klein beetje inhoud over. Kan iemand mij alsjeblieft helpen?

Hi everyone,I am dealing with a completely workflow-breaking issue on my Mac and I am completely out of ideas. Every time I try to place an image using Cmd + D (Place) or drag and drop any image into InDesign, the app freezes completely (Spinning Beachball) and takes an agonizing amount of time to respond.Here are my specs:InDesign Version:  2024 v21.6 macOS Version: Version 27.0.1 (26A434) Mac Model: Mac miniTo save everyone's time, here is an exhaustive list of the standard troubleshooting steps I have ALREADY TRIED, and absolutely none of them worked:Trashed InDesign Preferences and Caches completely (Using the shortcut on launch and manually deleting the folders). Exported the document to IDML and reopened it. Disabled "GPU Performance" in Preferences. Turned OFF Live Preflight completely. Set Display Performance to "Typical/Fast" and set Live Screen Drawing to "Delayed/Never". Granted InDesign "Full Disk Access" in macOS Privacy & Security settings. Removed all Offline Printer

 I want to use the curvy line tool to create a border around a text box with a white background. It looks great, but the box shape under the curvy line is still visible.I want all the protruding white bits where the curve indents to disappear. I want the curvy line to become the border, not just to sit on top of the box. Is this possible in InDesign? If so, how?If not in InDesign, maybe in Illustrator? If so, how?Thanks!

I’m trying to hide the context bar in InDesign and nothing seems to work. I click on “•••” and select “Hide Context Bar” but that does nothing. I’ve tried going under Window and unchecking “Contextual Task Bar”, and it will not uncheck. I’ve tried looking up tutorials but they all say to do what I have already tried.  Am I missing a setting that forcing me to use the context bar? Edit: This forum for some reason is not letting me upload PNG nor JPG screenshots for some reason.

Hi, I’m having an issue with white areas appearing between the arrows. These are just standard white shapes, but they remain visible in PDF/X-4 and "small size" PDF files. I’ve tried various methods to remove them, but nothing has worked. How can I resolve this?

How can I make this banner disappear for good?I'm tired of having to click the “X” after every PDF export.Thank you
