Hi. I'd wonder if you guys can help me with an issue.

 

In Adobe Express i can format text with Dinamic Tool, that random changes text format, making lines with bigger fonts, olther lines with small ones, etc.

 

Like in this example:

 

 

I'd like to know if i can export this kind of text format into InDesign.

To make it work i'm saving the Adobe Express file as a PNG and place like an image into InDesign.

 

Is there other way? like just copu and past the text keeping the Adobe Express formatation?

 

Thanks you gals and guys.

 

Best

Rob Day posted a script in this thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/altering-text-size-to-fit-width-of-text-frame/m-p/11849143 which will achiev something like that in InDesign. But be aware that it doesn’t work if you only have a single word in a line.

Dynamic formatting like this does not exist in InDesign. But this would be worth a freature request on Uservoice: https://indesign.uservoice.com/

 

As a workaround you could download a PDF. Open that PDF in Adobe Illustrrator and the copy paste the text from there to InDesign. That will preserve the formatting (you have to have the fonts installed that you used in Express) and also keep the text editable. But after pating to InDesign you would have to manually adjust the sizes.
