InDesign

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 ...

Ever since I updated to Indesign 2026, anytime I place an illustrator file, there is a fairly high chance that one or more of the layers refuses to display or the file will be in a rolled back state. Its not just a visual glitch, when I export to PDF, the placed file will still not show what its supposed to. It seems to happen more frequently when the illustrator file is larger, but I’ve also had it happen on tiny files. The ONLY fix I’ve found so far is to save the illustrator file as a PDF and import that.  

Need help in Finding the syntax for separation preview….. In the InDesign We are automating the flow through extendtool kit using Javascript where we are facing the problem finding the Proper Syntax for accessing the Separation previews in the Windows panel …. InDesing App » windows » separation previews.. also the shortcut for that is “Shift+F6”. Kindly provide me the Syntax. 

Currently, I have selected an image and a text frame. I want only the image to remain selected after the function executes.Here is the code:I want only the selected image to remain after executing “exit();”.Thank you very much.var doc = app.activeDocument;var item = doc.selection[0]; var items = doc.selection; if (items.length > 1) { var sel = items; tx = 0 for (i = 0; i < sel.length; i++) { if ('TextFrame' == sel[i].constructor.name) { tx = sel[i]; } if ('TextFrame' != sel[i].constructor.name) { ob = sel[i] } } if (tx != 0) { getA(); exit(); } }function getA() { var a = 2 + 3;} 

Since a week or two I often don’t see a document name when I try to save a document. So I open an older document and when I try to ‘Save as’ the document name spot is empty. See screenshot.  Behind ‘Bewaar als:’ there usually is the document name! There also is no document name when I try to save the document as a pdf. Not all documents have this problem: some do and some don’t.I wonder why there is no document name with some documents… and of course I also wonder how I can prevent this from happening. Is there a setting I accidentally enabled or disabled…?I am on macOS and use the latest version of everything. 

Due to repeated code and cross-references, I want to use a separate file, but I can’t completely separate the code.For example, I have a main file,A.jsx (this name may be renamed frequently)://@include ‘B.jsx’;        var doc = app.activeDocument;        var item = doc.selection[0];         var items = doc.selection; b();function a{...}Subfile B.jsx (this name is fixed)://@include ‘../pub/A.jsx’;        var doc = app.activeDocument;        var item = doc.selection[0];         var items = doc.selection; function b() {...    a(); // Here, I need to call `a()` from the main file A.jsx...}Now here’s the problem:The path between A.jsx and B.jsx is a relative path, and this will not change.However, A.jsx might be renamed frequently in the future.Is there a way to determine its name in reverse?Thank you. 

I’ve selected some rows, but they don’t start from the first row.I want to use a script to set a minimum row height for the currently selected rows.Like this:  

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)

My InDesign files are book covers for publishing and when I send the publisher the X-1a high resolution PDF, they flatten the PDF in photoshop and frequently there ends up being a very faint rule, like a box, around some of the type. There is no box actually there in the InDesign file, and it’s not even where the edge of the text box is -- what is causing this and how do I get rid of it?

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?

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. 

Hi, I created a presentation with many links to many folders. However, many of the folders and links therein were not used in the presentation. To expedite the bibliography process, I was wondering if I could package the project and maintain the folder structure in which each asset is stored, to come up with a list of all the folders/sources actually used. Thanks for any suggestions/ideas.

Hallo Ihr,ich habe einen neuen Kunden, der als Font Palatino Linotype gewählt hat. Beim Platzieren von doc-files (ich bin wegen diverser Probleme auf ID-Version 18 zurückgekehrt, um Probleme durch docx zu vermeiden) wählt ID Palatino Linotype Nothing, das als solches nicht erkannt wird. Wenn ich das durch Regular ersetze, muss ich alle Abweichungen (bold, italics) manuell ändern, d.h. den Text akribisch durchgehen. Außerdem nimmt ID rote Schrift statt Schwarz und alles unterstrichen (trotz anderslautender Einstellungen). Es gibt hier offenbar ein Problem, dass die Software Absatzformate ignoriert.Habt Ihr eine Idee, wie ich das ändern kann? Ich arbeite mit Win11 und InDesign 18.5.4 x64. LG, Birgit

After the most recent update I had to create a document using assets from older indesign files that previously never gave any issues. Now the dropshadows from multiple (different objects) move all over the place (away from the object as if theres a fixed lightsource) when I move these objects. When I turn off the dropshadow of the object, move the object and then turn the shadow back on it will have the shadow in it's correct position. When I move the object around multiple times it will start glitching the entire page until I move my cursor over it again. When I change the path of the object the displaced shadow will snap back into it's correct position, making me think this is a graphical display issue.  In the example below you can see how the dropshadows moved. (left one moved up when moving the object down and to the left. Right one stayed closer to it's original position but offset, middle is the original position before copying and moving).  i'm working on a

I opend Indesign and can get into my work but ones inside I am unable to edit anything. I can not add or subtract any work. I have tried to quite the app, but when I do, a message window pops up saying “cannot handle the request because a modal dialog or alert is active.” I can't uninstall InDesign to reinstall it.

I installed Adobe 2026 on my imac. Now undo doesn’t work. It’s permanently grayed out. ID 21.2 on a Retina 5K running Ventura 13.7.8. If you look at screen shot, I can’t undo the neon effect I made or undo the letter ‘M’ I deleted. I’m opening 2025 ID to see if that helps. 

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. 

I am trying to move the vertices of a polygon:I thought I found a solution but this shows exactly the issue I am trying to avoid. Thanks.

Les hyperliens insérés, soit dans le texte, soit en objets invisibles (on a tout essayé… ) se confondent lors de l’export en PDF et il n’en reste qu’unJ’ai essayé toutes les solutions possibles, modifier dans Acrobat est une tannée (inadmissible !) rien ne fonctionneQui a une solution pour cette opération qui devrait être d’une simplicité enfantine ?Merci ! 

Hi Team,I need your assistance with an issue related to using the MinionPro font in MathType.Please see the attached PDF. The document was processed in InDesign and includes MathType equations that use the MinionPro font. When working with this file, InDesign becomes very slow and difficult to use. For example export the PDF or update the mathtype images. However, when we replace MinionPro with another font, such as STIX Math, the performance returns to normal.Could you please advise if there are any known issues with using MinionPro in this setup?Thank you for your help.https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/l06aot95fpwif2chfr49w/04_9781032658872c03_B4_p1-97.pdf?rlkey=zqyphls7g9o0z6idzwxsbuf8o&st=383m15ak&dl=0https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7o5w0tvtvuuw1h5itdejb/fontList.png?rlkey=clcvd6rgeeeg6faf0n77cki1m&st=x4kgj1rw&dl=0

Since updating to 2021 over a month ago, my workspace keeps resetting.  When I open a file, sometimes it opens with my default, chosen workspace.  Sometimes, however, it opens with no toolbars showing and I have to manually go to Window --> Workspace --> Default.  (Default is the name of the workspace I created with my workspace set as I want it.)  How do I set it so that my chosen workspace is the workspace that always opens?  It's so frustrating to have to open it up nearly every time I open a file because it's not defaulting to that workspace!

I have been using a font – Prenton RP Pro – for a numbers of years for a regular publication. I installed it from Adobe via Creative Cloud. It comes in 10 weights/versions.Last week i started getting errors for missing fonts. Indesign has changed the name of the font from “Prenton RP Pro” to “Prenton RP Pro (OTF)” and has split it into two groups: one with Black and Black Italic weights, and one with the other 8 weights in it (Light, Regular, Italic etc). I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the font family, checked Font Book for conflicting installations (none), have tried restarting machine and Creative Cloud in various orders, all to no avail. My colleague has no problem with his font (showing as a group of 10 weights of Prenton RP Pro - without the (OTF)). The problem is that if he opens a file I have worked on, it shows font errors and vice versa. We can no longer work on the same documents, which is proving impossible. I don’t know where to go from here. Advice appreciated

Hi,We are having an issue with Adobe InDesign where files saved on a network drive are opening as read-only. What’s happening:Files open as read-only for multiple users Save option forces “Save As” On the server, files show as open by a user That user does not actually have the file openWhat I’ve checked:Users confirmed file is not open on their device Checked open sessions on the server > It shows as the file being open by the user eventhough it’s not Disabled Preview Pane in Windows Explorer Deleted .idlk lock files where found Copied files locally → works fine (not read-only) Checked permissions (all OK) Restarted machines Updated InDesign to latest versionThis is happening across multiple files and users, only on the network drive. Any ideas what could be causing this?Thanks
