Sometimes my table doesn’t quite fill the text box, so I have to manually adjust the row height, which takes several attempts and is quite a hassle.Is there a way to use a script to adjust the row height of the table body so that the text box is quickly aligned at the bottom? 

Hello, everyone.I want to use ‘s.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT)’ to shrink the bottom of a text box, but I want to exclude cases where the bottom border is part of a table.I'm not sure if there's a way to do this.Thank you 

Hello guys,the indesign client allows it to move a page item into a rectangle by copy it and pase with the option "paste into selection". How this behavior can be achieved by scripting on the indesign server?Thanks for the answers!

I have not been able to save files from my computer to the Adobe account. Can someone help me trouble shoot please

When using inDesign my artboard goes blank (gray) when disconnecting from my Apple display and often when I open my disconnected laptop to resume work in an open InDesign document. This has been happening for years on a different combination of displays and laptops so it is an Adobe issue, not a me issue. It seems lots of users have been frustrated by the same defect and it boggles my mind that Adobe has failed to fix this bug. Yes, I know I can switch to CPU Preview.. it reminds me of that old Rodney Dangerfield joke “I went to the Doctor and said - Doc, it hurts when I do this. The doctor says - don’t do that.”

Hi! I know there were similar topics, but none of them answered. Sorry for asking again, but this is a serious issue. We develop .zxp extensions. They need to be updated from time to time. And new extension files need to be signed correctly. The problem is that ZXPSignCmd requires a .p12 file to sign the extension. It's not just another container format, the .p12 file contains a _key_ along with the signing certificate. The key is mandatory, without it you can't sign. And CAs don't seem to export signing keys anymore.For this reason: https://knowledge.digicert.com/alerts/code-signing-changes-in-2023 If there is a CA that still exports .p12 files, please let us know. It would be a lifesaver. At least for a while. But in any case, ZXPSignCmd requires PKCS#11 support. Or its successor. Or another option. The .zxp file contains a digitally signed XML file, which is a bit hard to replicate, but technically possible. I'm sure there are people skilled enough to create such

Hi everyone,I have several computers that have InDesign 2026 installed.On one win11 machine, the first two general preferences are missing.I uninstalled using the Creative Cloud Cleaner exe.Reinstalled the 21.2 (available just today to the east coast of the US)Those general preferences are still missing!I have reset as well as deleted cache files.Any suggestions as to what I can try to get a fully-restored version of InDesign working again?

I’ve seen this problem mentioned in the InDesign Community a few times in the past, but has anyone recently had problems with Share for Review comments unmapping from their pins? 

Hi there,  I have a newsletter where most pages have full page images, but they are semi-transparent images layered on top of each other. See screenshot for example. I’m trying to create a lower-res version suitable for posting online so I would love a file size under 10 mb. So far the only way I can get close to achieving this is by taking my layers of semi-transparent images, exporting each page as a png (no transparency), reinserting this flat png, to replace the live images, and then exporting the pdf. But then it sucks because I have to have two versions of the document. I would love to get a smaller pdf using my live document. My standard settings for web docs are compress the images to 150ppi. If I export with my regular settings with the live images, it's 66 MBs, but if I replace the live layers of images with flat pngs, it's 11mbs.  

Wenn ich eine InDesign-Datei exportiere, erhalte ich unbrauchbare Resultate. Text ist OK, aber die Bilder unbrauchbar. Bis vor kurzem hat alles geklappt, jetzt nicht mehr. Preflight zeigt an, dass alles OK ist.Ich arbeite mit MacOS Tahoe, InDesign habe ich auf die neueste Version updated.Ich bin dringend darauf angewiesen, ein Layout als PDF verschicken zu können und bitte um schnelle Hilfe.

I sent it to adobe.I tried to download but it won’t, and i duplicated the files but same results)

I’m creating book pages and I create a frame, and then in frame fitting options I select “fit content to frame”. But it’s not doing that. It’s not forcing the content to fit the frame, it’s fitting the content proportionally. Which I don’t want. Any idea how to fix this?You can see below that it’s fitting the content proportionally, not to the frame. 

InDesign won't allow me to select text, or select any preferences. I've done an update in Cloud, and it says I have ID version 20.5.2. I've never had an issue like this. I'm using a Mac Studio Tahoe 26.2.

Hello everyone! I’m trying to create a small plugin to manage my product listings.It’s a user interface that contains the information needed to automatically fill out my document.The plugin uses named objects such as “Model Name” and automatically fills in the fields with data from a CSV file. Previously, I had written a windowed version to test and debug it. But I needed a palette/dialog box to scroll through the entire document while I enter the information (which doesn’t work with a windowed version because the document remains static). And I wanted an OK/Apply button to confirm changes and continue working without the page closing, while still being able to navigate the document at the same time. For now, the problem is at the end of the script with dlg.show();The dialog box closes instantly when I click on it. Here is the code. Can you help me?:)   // ======================================================// PRODUCT SHEET// ======================================================if (

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?

This pops up when copy/pasting a vector image from Illustrator to InDesign. Only from recent update.Needs to be fixed ASAP.   

Hello! Opening illustrator files from InDesign, working on them, saving them and going back to InDesign. The links are all updated, but sometimes it’s leaving anomolies, like double shadows of the figure in. Friends are having the same problem, one had the cursor x/y measurements from the illustrator file appear in InDesign - which wouldn’t even have saved into the file? Anyone else had this problem?Pictures - show the x/y (illustrator on the left - inDesign on the right) and the double calendar which is most definitely not there in the illustrator file! 

I am working on making the digital version of our document accessible. The math equations were placed into the InDesign (v 21.3) document using the Math Expressions (MathML) panel. After exporting the document to PDF with the “Create Tagged PDF” option enabled and running an accessibility check, the equations were flagged for alt‑text issues. There are more than 200 equations in our document, so I am looking for an alternative to creating alt-text for each of them. What is the most efficient way to resolve this accessibility problem?

I am experiencing a persistent "Error updating links/artifact" when trying to update an existing Share for Review link. I need to keep the current URL to preserve existing client comments, but the update fails every time with a generic error message.I have inspected my UXP logs and found a specific HTTP 400 (Bad Request) error.

I have endnotes created in InDesign using the InDesign Endnote options. Created a PDF using Made-to-tag. When I created a PDF, I either get an error in the Acrobat Checker saying “Nested alternate text -failed” as I added Alt-text to the link-OBJR tag in the note tag, however if I do not have alt-text on this tag I get a PAC error saying "'contents' entry on an annotation exists, but is only comprised of whitespace.". How do I fix this manually in Acrobat? or in indesign?

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
