InDesign

I’m working in InDesign from Adobe and want to create an interactive PDF with fully functional buttons. I’ve added buttons and set actions, but they don’t always work after exporting. What are the exact steps to ensure buttons, hyperlinks, and navigation features function properly? Are there specific export settings or panel options I should double-check for reliable interactive results?

Hello,when I imported an image from the files in Creative Cloud (to save it in an InDesign document for later printing) I got this message:This image was saved in Photoshop without full file compatibility. To speed things up, save the image in Photoshop with maximum compatibility enabled and import it. Do you still want to place the image?In Polish:Will the imported image now lose quality and print poorly? 

Hi, After talking with customer service, I was directed hereto. I need help getting access to InDesign APIs; I cannot add them via my developer console, and for some reason, nobody can help me on how to add them to my plan, or the cost related hereto. We are exploring how to use InDesign APIs to do automated updates to .indd files in a serverless manner, such that we do not have to spin up a VM with the InDesign Server installed. Br, Katrine

I have a top of the line machine. i9-14900k, Radeon 9070XT, 64gb DDR5 RAM, and a fast NVME drive.InDesign lags more than any adobe program, because of the AI Generated Alt Text, which is enabled by default and I cannot disable it, as I have a pro plan.Every time I drag an image onto a file, it lags for a good 5 seconds while the AI generated text does its thing. I want to disable this feature fully. I do not use any AI in InDesign.Please recommend a way to permanently disable this feature, as it nearly doubles my working time on any document, lagging with every adjustment. If I have to edit something in the registry to do so, or block something on a firewall, so be it. Please release me from this torture

Hello, is it possible to change the indesign file name position when exporting from indesign to acrobat as pdf, as it automatically puts the text below on the left side but the beginning of the file name is cut out and I wanted to know if you can say to indesign to change the position a little bit more to the right so I can see the whole file name. Thanks!

As in the subject - the MathML module does not support Polish characters in formulas.Polish characters are displayed in a different font than the rest of the formula, which makes the entire expression visually inconsistent.

 I understand what they're there for, but Its really distracting when Im trying to layout a page. I know I can hide them when I hide my guides - but I need my guides to work with. Thank you.

I’ve been having major issues with InDesign locking up ever since this update. It doesn’t crash so it doesn’t send a report either. At least two times every day, I need to either force quit the app or restart. It is very frustrating!

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   

What would be the fastest InDesign alt text workflow for over a thousand images in a document?  

Hi there. Since updating to this version I’ve been having an accessibility issue and wondered if I should be rolling back to a prior version? It now adds unnecessary "span" tags to my PDF documents exported from InDesign, which is interfering with their accessibility and requires too much manual processing to correct.The steps I'm following are:1. Create a bullet list in inDesign using paragraph styles.2. Ensure the export tag for that paragraph style is set to "automatic".2. Export to PDF, selecting "Create a Tagged PDF".3. When opening the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro, the nesting order for bullet lists should be: List > List Item > Label and List Item Body.4. However, after the update it's now adding "span" tags under every "label" folder."Span" is an inline-level tag used for styling or formatting, it's not meant for structural elements like list labels. This is laborious to have to fix manually, even more so given I generally make a second, text only version of all my PDFs.Grate

When I save a named find/change query, the font family Arno Pro is replaced with Myriad Pro. Individual find/changes work fine, but the queries just won't retain the correct font name. This started occurring in recent months. I found this issue reported by users in 2012 on CreativePro Forums and in 2020 on UserVoice. 

I have an indesign document with a ton of different images, 1 on each page of the doc. I’ve updated a few of these links today and the newly linked updated images have this icon on the bottom left corner which I’ve never seen before. Any idea what this is or what it means? These are not text boxes, there are no primary text frames in this document and no threaded text.It is definitely attached to the linked image and nothing else, as it moves around with the image when I move the image.   

The latest version on InDesign was not working on our Windows 11 systems: it either wouldn’t launch or when using it, text will disappear in text boxes (even though it is still there) and the Undo action only performs one or two undos. Uninstalled and went back to InDesign version 20.5.1 which appeared to work fine until today: now I am having the same undo problem. Tested in a brand new document.It should be noted that coworkers with Macs are not having this issue.I saw a previous post that said this could be fixed by unchecking the GPU option in preferences, but that is NOT checked in mine (it is greyed out because it says it does not detect a compatible device).It is almost impossible to work knowing you only have one undo, please advise how to fix this!

I have cleared my font cache, I have restarted, i have reset my preferences, and yet still none of my glyphs for any fonts are applying to the characters in indesign. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

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?

I can’t find any way to show the content of a note. Anyone? 

HelloI have received some CDs in an old Mac Version of QuarkXpress that I would like to bring into InDesign in Windows 11. I believe the files are 3.0 or earlier. No filename extensions as expected. I do not have any budget, This is for a history book for my local sailing club. So, MarkZware is unfortunately not an option. any suggestions, please?Thank you

Linking an image in InDesign 2026 and exporting it as a tagged PDF generates an unpleasant Tag structure.The structure now is:<Figure>--<Link>----OBJR--ContentTags inside of <Figure> will normally ignored by any assistive technology. So the Link will not be present to the end user.This is a change to InDesign 2025 and before, where the tagging was properly:< Link>--OBJR--<Figure>----Content This new behavior violates WCAG guidelines and makes the link tagging inaccessible to screen reader users.

I’m following up on an email I sent about a week ago regarding ongoing InDesign crashes.I’m having difficulty accessing the existing support threads you referenced previously. When I click any of the links in your emails, I’m redirected to a generic home page rather than the relevant discussion, which makes it impossible to review or continue the troubleshooting steps.Unfortunately, the core issue remains unresolved. InDesign is still crashing while editing text, even when using the latest pre-release versions. At this point the problem has caused me to miss a publishing deadline, which is extremely frustrating and has had a real impact on my work.I need this issue properly addressed as a matter of urgency. Could you please:Provide direct, working links to the relevant support threads, orEscalate this case so we can move toward a definitive fix rather than further testing cyclesI’m happy to provide logs, files, or any additional information required, but I do need a clear path forward.

In a book with multiple authors, the subtitle should appear to the left of each photo and the author's logo to the right.Is this possible with static labeling: ‘Option-Command-T’?
