InDesign

雑誌のように、それぞれのページが高度にデザインされ、文字や画像の配置と図形などのデザイン要素のレイヤーの上下関係や位置関係が複雑に関係するデータを作成する際の質問です。indesignの機能のみでこのようなページのデータを作成することは困難であるため、ページごとに.aiファイルを作成し、indesignでそれらのデータを配置する、というデータ作成が現実的であると考えるのですが、一方で、indesignのデータ作成として好ましくない要素（リンクファイルの中のリンクファイル、indesignで編集が不可能なテキストデータなど）を多分に含んでいるように感じます。本来はデザイン素材をillustratorで作成し、それ以外の画像やテキストはindesignで作成、最終的な配置調整もindesignで行うのが一番主流な使い方かとは思うのですが、そのような使い方ができない複雑なデータの場合はどのように作業を進めればよいのでしょうか。また、それならば無理にindesignを使わずとも、illustratorだけで完結させるべきという意見も想定されますが、ページ管理やノンブルの都合上、indesignを使った編集が前提の作業となります。近頃ＳＮＳでは、「各ページをイラレで作って貼り付けただけのインデザデータに辟易している」といった言説を見かけます。印刷所の都合なども含めて、好ましいデータ作成の方法についてお教えいただけますと幸いです。

Does “parentTextFrames” refer to the immediate parent or the outermost level?Is it possible to check whether a text frame exists at the outermost level, regardless of the currently selected layer?I’m currently using the method below to check, but it feels a bit clunky—sometimes I need multiple parents.Is there a simpler way to do this?Also, how can I distinguish between images and rectangular frames?Often, they’re both called “Rectangle.”Should I check for the presence of an “image” property?Thanks.Some thing like this:var doc = app.activeDocument;var item = doc.selection[0]; var items = doc.selection;//outside     if (        (gra && 'Spread' == item.parent.constructor.name)        && ('Rectangle' == item.constructor.name)    ) {        sel = items;do….        }        exit();    } 

Some scripts can be undone with a single click before execution.But for others, you have to roll back step by step.Some scripts perform multiple operations, making it cumbersome to revert to the state before execution.Is there a way to undo these multi-step scripts with one click, returning them to their origina

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? 

I cant seem to text over my image. I create a text box. choose my color and began to type. I "arrange" the text to "send forward and send to front but it CONINUES TO SHOW BLANK ON THE IMAGE.

I created a PDF on 18 March of a complex file, saved locally. Yesterday, the only file available to me was dated 15 March and was not the final file I had saved. How is this possible? I have searched high and low both on my pc and also the Adobe cloud (which I do not use), but it did not save. I’m finding ID to be extremely unstable at the moment. 2026 is impossible to use due to constant hanging, so I reverted to 2025 for this file. The only thing I changed was ‘reset preferences on exit’, because even that keeps hanging when opening paragraph styles. After that, of course, my ‘recent files’ were not available. Now, when I open the 15 March file, I’m being prompted to replace fonts I already have installed and available. There was another file I was working on, which I used to create images for the main file, and that’s also reverted to 15th March. I’ve tried the local data recovery, but they aren’t in there. What’s going on here!? I can’t believe this is possible. 

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 have an opportunity to bid on a project which involves a re-design of an environmental-type guide and map utilizing InDesign and Illustrator. The only criteria in which I have very little experience is that a Spanish version will also be required. Basically, I’d like to answer “yes” to the question “Can the bidder produce desired products in both English and Spanish?” Any advice/suggestions will be very much appreciated.

The last line which has a footnote number ending in it is squashed.I noticed that this happens when i apply the World Ready Paragraph Composer.When i apply the normal Adobe Parapgraph Composer it goes back to normal.I need the World Ready Paragraph Composer as there are many paragraphs with Arabic in it.Does anyone know why this happens and the solution?  World Ready Paragraph ComposerAdobe Paragraph Composer​​​​​​ 

I'm currently using version 20.4, which has the feature,and I thought that simply dragging a PDF would activate the feature,but nothing happens when I drag it. Do I need to activate it separately? Could it be that it doesn't work because it's the Korean version? 

For the last few weeks, I’ve been struggling to get my deadline projects finished in InDesign without the aid of the various shortcuts I’ve always used -- e.g., cntrl+spacebar to get the magnifying glass -- no go; drag to highlight text -- no go; spacebar to get the hand to move around -- no go. These functions just stopped working, cold.Now I’m finding the same plus other problems in Illustrator and Photoshop, as well as in Acrobat! (Currently in Illustrator, I'm not able to edit text in or resize, or move text boxes -- and this is paragraph text, not point text, so it SHOULD be editable and movable.) In none of the programs can I zoom in and out with the cntl+mouse wheel, as I could before. I was caught flat-footed on a business call this afternoon because I couldn’t zoom in fast enough on a drawing I was discussing.I do not have these problems outside of the Adobe products. I’ve searched the internet for fixes in all three programs.  I’m not finding any answers. I’m on the latest up

Hello,I’m experiencing a blocking issue with the Package function in InDesign 2025 on macOS Tahoe 26.On macOS Sonoma 14.7, the Package function works perfectly with the same document.On macOS Tahoe 26, I tested on two different Macs and the issue occurs every time.When trying File > Package…, InDesign returns the error:InDesign could not package the document. Cannot copy the necessary linked files.  Details:All links are valid (no missing or modified files).Fonts are activated and not missing.The issue happens whether I try to package to the Desktop, to a folder in Documents, or to an external volume.Tried with “include fonts” checked/unchecked → same issue.Tried saving as IDML before packaging → still fails.This looks like a compatibility issue between InDesign and macOS Tahoe 26, possibly related to new file system permissions. Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround or an upcoming patch?Thanks in advance for your help

When I select a text box, both of the following are correct:var sel = app.documents[0].selection; alert(sel); // [object TextFrame] alert(sel.length) // 1​When my cursor is inside the text, I tried the code below and found both are [object TextFrame], but sel.length is invalid..It should be noted that sel is undefined. item = app.activeDocument.selection[0]; if (item.parent.textFrames[0].constructor.name == "TextFrame") { var sel = item.parent.textFrames[0]; } alert(sel);//[object TextFrame] alert(sel.length)//undefined?????

Given the cost of Adobe and how many people are complaining about this, I think Adobe needs to fix this. Shutting down over and over to clear this, with only a hit & miss success rate, is not at all practical. I've done the reboots. I've done all the many attempts others have done and I'm still getting the spinning background task manager and it will not clear on a very extensive document. 

...or a Mac script? Rather than open up every file and Export as........? Affinity 3 is out and free.

Indesign crashes everytime when opening a document in the cloud (.inddl).Shared for Live Copy editing (beta). Can't  open or access my file any longer. Can I download this file local somehow? Thanks

I have imported several word documents (sort of like individual chapters) into InDesign, so they appear as separate stories. The files have endnotes and footnotes, each of which appears correctly (yay!) aside from my having selected “Load the Place Cursor” and the endnotes appearing on the second page of the placed material (maybe that’s user error? I’m pretty new. I’ve been placing with shift + click). But that’s besides the point.It seems that by default, the endnotes always appear in their own text frame (whether you are importing or you add an endnote using InDesign’s menu). Cutting and pasting seems to break the link between the reference and the text (the numbers change to <?> and you can’t go back and forth between the reference and the text by right clicking). Is there a way to move the dynamic endnotes into the story’s main frame? I mostly just don’t want to have to mess with the endnote text boxes if we end up moving the text around while we are fitting it, but we have

I am suddenly encountering several freezing problem with InDesign. I cannot use the “Place” feature to bring an image in. If I click “Place” it opens the last folder and freezes. When I open “Task Manager” on my computer, it then shows Adobe using 88+% of the memory on the computer and I have to force close it. I also can’t open a file within InDesign because it does the same thing where it stops responding and freezes. I have to navigate to the file on my desktop and open it.I had zero issues with this until maybe 2-3 days ago. I have tried uninstalling, reverting to a previous version of software, and updating several preferences that may be impacting it and nothing has worked. We are a non-profit with a design that needs to be finalized for Monday, so I am in panic mode at this stage that I can’t get this to work.Any advice/solutions welcomed!!

When I go to update a review link in InDesign, I keep getting this error message "there was an error updating the artifact". After that, the link does not work for most people. I am signed in to Adobe. Everything is up-to-date.... But this issue still persists. Can Adobe please fix this issue? It's emarassing when I go to send the review link to my leaders and they just get an error message when they try opening it.   <Title renamed by moderator>

Hello, in short, what it says on the title: InDesign 2025/2026 freezes (ends up as “not responding” in the Task manager) when interacting with the Paragraph Panel or with other, simple interactions; there are also multiple CEP HTML Engine instances that are generated, and there might be a possible file corruption, though I couldn’t verify that.

I created a publication based on a previous one. It's in a new folder with the default [fonts] and [lins] subfolders. Preflight shows no linking errors. Since there are numerous unused graphics in the link folder (from the old version), I wish to create a new package before sending to production. I get the above error with no explanation. How do I do this without manually copying every link (70) and font (46)?This is CS3 on Vista Home Premium.

Bonjour. InDesign a planté inopinément. Le fichier où je travaillais a été enregistré 5mn avant. Maintenant, impossible de l'ouvrir ??? Ni depuis InDesign, ni depuis le fichier sur l'ordi ??? C'était le seul fichier ouvert, et c'est le seul que je ne peux plus ouvrir.....? S.O.S. Merci beaucoup !!!
