InDesign

HelloFor some reason my page 1 in indesign file is not looking like the master page. I also could not use Remove Local Overrides as it is greyed out. Also applying master page to page 1 is not working.I face this problem frequently. Temporarily I create a new file and redo everything to clear out. But this is taking lot of time. How can I correct this in the current file. I have attached indd file.Thanks

Escribo este mensaje para manifestar mi más profundo descontento e indignación con la gestión de rendimiento en la última actualización de InDesign 2026.Es completamente inadmisible que un software profesional limite mi flujo de trabajo basándose exclusivamente en la resolución de mi monitor. Cuento con una estación de trabajo excelente, equipada con un procesador Intel Core i5 de 11.ª generación, 32 GB de memoria RAM y una tarjeta gráfica dedicada NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060. Hardware más que de sobra para mover cualquier proyecto editorial con total fluidez.Sin embargo, debido a una decisión de desarrollo absurda, InDesign 2026 bloquea por completo la aceleración por hardware (Rendimiento de GPU) mostrando el mensaje: "No se ha detectado un monitor y GPU compatibles". Mis periféricos y la resolución en la que decido trabajar son decisiones mías que a Adobe no deberían importarle ni condicionarle. Es insólito que para que el software funcione de manera decente, pretendan obligar al usuari

I am writing this post to express my deepest dissatisfaction and outrage regarding the performance management in the latest InDesign 2026 update.It is completely unacceptable for professional software to restrict my workflow based solely on my monitor's resolution. I own an excellent workstation equipped with an 11th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, 32 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 dedicated graphics card. This hardware is more than capable of handling any editorial project seamlessly.Yet, due to an absurd development decision, InDesign 2026 completely blocks hardware acceleration (GPU Performance), displaying the message: "No compatible monitor and GPU detected." My peripherals and the resolution I choose to work with are my decisions; Adobe should not care about or condition them. It is unheard of that for the software to run decently, users are practically forced to buy a new monitor or rely on virtual rescaling workarounds.Instead of optimizing the code, we are forced into

I have a project in InDesign (PC, Win11Enterprise, i7 12th gen, 32Gb Ram, Nvidia RTX4000 12Gb graphics card).When I open it, it says there is a font missing - Avenir Oblique (I use Avenir Regular in the document).I open [Replace fonts]When I click [Find First], nothing happens.When I click [More info], it shows:Restrictions: Unknown (font is missing)Path: Unknown (font is missing)Character Count: 0Style count: 0Pages: none.So it implies that the font is not used … so how comes it’s “missing”? I can’t, visually, find where it is so I’m stumped and I want to get rid of this annoying pop-up … but it might mean something.Any ideas?Thank you,Johnny

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

Ever since updating to the new version of InDesign (about a week or two ago), I encounter inconsistent behavior with expanding individual panels on the right side when you click on the panel name. Sometimes, the won't expand. When this occurs, I also cannot open the panel as a stand alone window by selecting  it from the Window menu. However I CAN use the << at the top of the Panel menu to expand all the panels. Once it occurs, if I close InDesign and reopen it, that usually fixes the problem. I have not been able to find a consistent thing that causes this to happen. I think it might occur more when opening files that have not been saved in the current version, but sometimes doing that does not cause the problem.

Admittedly, it has been some time since I have used data merge, many years ago for a particuarl client, lately not so much. To get up to speed again, searched online for a few answers... most notably answers coming from people struggling to get it to work properly. And finding answers on non-Adobe pages with tips on how things break and what to do. Frustrating. I have a book prohect that has lists at the back of items that are formatted in a table format with about a dozen cells. The cells are not just columns, that would have been easy, can't do it that way. I have two wider cells that are split horizontally to place content - see attached. I got the data merge set up to work - placing the tags from the .csv headers is the easy part. Where things exploded is when I actually merge the document. If I have one table set up and merge the .csv file, even with "multiple records per page" selected as the option to import, I get 495 pages with just one table per page.&nbsp

I canceled my InDesign subscription, and later got a notification about my payment not going through. What do I do, as I don't use the application and cancelled my subscription

I’m running the latest version on a MacBook Pro with Tahoe 26.2.So far I've noticed:Undo is unavailable (grayed out in the menu) Extreme lag time when importing large images Cursor gets stuck in the previous mode. (For example, if I switch to the magnifying glass to  enlarge the view then go back to the regular arrow, it stays in the magnifying glass. 

인디자인 버전은 21.5.1 입니다.어제까지는 아무 이상 없이 사용하고 있었는데, 오늘 갑자기 인디자인에서 책을 열면 책에 추가된 문서의 내용에 아무것도 없는 경우만 괜찮고 문서를 추가하면 충돌이 일어나 인디자인이 종료됩니다.

Hello! So my team and I have been adding alt text to images in PhotoShop and then using Object Export Options with “From XMP: Alt Text (Accessibility)” selected for the Alt Text Source. In InDesign, this works great. We can see the alt text. But it does not seem to transfer to PDF when exported. We have triple checked that the “Create Tagged PDF” option is selected when exporting to PDF. What are we doing wrong? Object Export Options exampleExport options selected 

I am working with an InDesign file that includes a separate, linked InDesign file. Both files have correct tags and reading order in the structure and when I export them separately to PDFs.But if I export the main file including the linked file, only the main file’s tags and reading order are in the structure and exported. The linked file is treated as one frame/object only. None of the individual objects from the linked file appear in the structure or the exported PDF.Is there a way to include a full-featured linked document inside an InDesign document that preserves all the original objects, tags, and reading order?

We're working with the latest version of InDesign and have noticed that fonts packaged from InDesign are exported to epub files but don't display correctly on Kindle e-readers. We've tried replacing the packaged fonts with both licensed and free fonts, without obfuscation. We've found that the fonts become corrupted and invisible on e-readers after being packaged by InDesign. The only solution is to replace the fonts with the non-packaged ones, which can be downloaded again from Google Fonts. Is there an InDesign solution that avoids having to replace them again?

Hi everybody,I recently had an issue in InDesign that prevented me from exporting my document.Every time I tried to export it would come up with an error message saying '’Possible cause of failure is present on spread with page number 24’ We tried deleting the spread and then the same error message would pop up but with a different page number ''Possible cause of failure is present on spread with page number 9'’ and it kept moving. All the links were working, and we have used this template hundreds of times and never had any issues.My colleague seems to think it could be due to slow internet and the document was having trouble finding the files to export. Could this be the case?Any suggestions are appreciated as this caused us to miss a tender submission deadline and we really don't want it happening again.Thank you 

I am finding that my computer is heating up to an unusual level and the fans are activating when I use InDesign, even though the tasks I’m performing are very basic and not at all demanding of the processor.My computer is a MacBook Pro with the M5 Pro chip, purchased in April this year, so it should easily be capable of performing these tasks without needing to activate the fans to cool itself down.My version of InDesign is definitely up to date and I have tried uninstalling InDesign and reinstalling.Is anyone else finding that Indesign is putting unreasonable demands on their processor? 

I was attempting to do some basic tasks with Flex Layout in InDesign PC. After about a half-dozen things were tried InDesign completely froze, the process had to be stopped and the program re-launched. This is 100% repeatable behavior, whether with an existing file open or with a new file open. Everything else with ID is fine, just whenever I try to use Flex.I can work around this by never using it (I never did before), but since there’s a risk of document corruption when I force-close I.D. I’m wondering what’s going on.

Hello, why can't I upload files to Indd when it worked fine for years. Most graphic designers and studios work with NAS devices. I can't save anything, I have to make copies and restore files. Can something be done about it? Thank you very much rh     <Title renamed by MOD>

I have developed an InDesign plugin using SDK and C++. The built plugin needs to be placed in Plug-Ins folder. We generally use pkgbuild and productsign on MacOS terminal to prepare the package / pkg. However, I am unable to upload this package in Adobe Exchange approval for distribution. How do I create installable plugin to be uploaded for Adobe Exchange distribution?Also, need to understand whether I need to have any security to be implemented for subscription of this plugin or Adobe will handle its expiry?Please advise.

In the latest update of InDesign when I have multiple shapes and frames on the page selected, if my cursor is above something like a rectangle with content/picture inside it, I only move the picture that is below it at the time. Rather than the whole selection of objects as it used to. I tested before and after the update and it was something that only broke with 21.4. If I cursor over a solid shape object while still selecting the entire group (including the photo frame) that then moves the entire section but only if cursor above a placed fill object does it break. What could possibly be happening?
