InDesign

The graphics are of different sizes, but I want to fill the page with 3mm spacing between them. They only need to be the same height, not the same width.No code needed—just give me a suggested algorithm.For example, if the page width is 170;// Spacingvar csp=3;// Number of columnsvar cn=2w1+w2+w3+3*2=170h1=h2=h3;But since both the height and width are unknown, does this mean I have to keep trying different values?If that really doesn't work, I think allowing the last shape to be cropped might be easier to implement.Do I need to loop multiple times to scale?This feels really slow.Thank you . 

I have a column in a table that contains numbers between 1-100, and I would like the cells to fill with a color based on the numerical value. For example, 80-100 would have a green fill, 50-79 would be yellow, and 0-49 would be a red fill. Is there a way to do this? 

The Control panel menu (gear), hamburger, and lightning bolt icons are unresponsive. I particularly miss the link to "no break".) I'm using version 20.5 on Windows 11 Pro. I reset preferences and rebooted but that did not help. Thanks...

Any idea when the fix for the flyout boxes is going to be fixed? It has been months now and still not working.

Hi everyone,I’m creating an interactive PDF in Adobe InDesign and I’m having an issue with internal links.When I click a link that jumps to another page:on desktop (Adobe Acrobat Reader) everything works correctly ✔️ on mobile, the page opens halfway / not from the top of the page ❌I already tried:setting zoom to “Fit Width” setting zoom to “Fit Page” recreating all links from scratch exporting as Interactive PDF with hyperlinks enabledBut the issue still happens on mobile devices.Is this a limitation of mobile PDF viewers, or is there a setting in InDesign that forces the page to always open from the top?Thanks in advance

Oops… I meant to type “ase” file, but I can’t edit the title apparently. Hi all! I’m trying to load a specific swatch palette (not the default one). I’ve done it a million times. I’m running Indesign v. 21.3 on my Mac. I’m not trying to add it to the default color palette… I want it to be a separate palette. Today it’s trying to add a swatch to the library… instead of letting me open my .ase file. I’ve not encountered this before. I have nothing selected. What am I doing wrong? Thank you! 

I consistently get Share for Review errors when trying to update the share links.Restarting, clearing preferences don’t have any effect. 

Hello,I noticed, during a preflight check of a formatted book, that all my fonts—loaded via Adobe Fonts—were flagged as unauthorized.I contacted Adobe, but so far without any result. All of their suggested “procedures” have failed.Have you encountered this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?Thank you for your help.Have a great day,Anne

Mac, OS Tahoe 26.3.1 (a)In the past I have had this problem with Illustrator and Photoshop. Now it sometimes appears with InDesign as well. If I try to drag the active window to another place on my screen, by dragging from the top of the window, it disappears behind all other apps currently open. Oddly, any free floating palettes stay on top. If I can still see a part of the window, I can click on it to bring it back to the front. If not, I have to go to the dock to bring it forward. Nothing is lost so this is an annoyance rather than a real problem, but why does it happen and why is it now happening with ID as well as the others? 

For the past few months I’ve been experiencing slow Indesign performance when editing documents but it has been tolerable until the past few days when Indesign started to be too slow to even launch. Closing the app is also extremely laggy, usually it does not fully close until I restart the computer.Indesign can launch but takes more than 20 minutes to get to the home page, and I haven’t been able to load it to the point of being able to open any files.I have already tried a clean removal + reinstallation of the app with the creative cloud cleaner tool, and also deleted all preferences. Most files are saved on adobe cloud.I am on Id version 21.3, Windows 11 Pro, OS 26200.8117Any help would be appreciated :) thank you  UPDATE: Running version 21.2 works fine it’s 21.3 that’s not working.

New version of InDesign won’t PDF certain pages that previously worked fine in 25 version. Taking up lots of time trying to work out what images need to be replaced or even what pages (says p20 but might be 25). Once sorted it often generates PDF to near the end of doc and then just freezes. Is there a work around or an update coming for this? Its so time consuming. 

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’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!

Hallo zusammen, ich habe seit dem neuen Update auf InDesign 2026 Probleme mit dem proportionalen Skalieren von Rahmen. Der shortcut geht nichtmehr (auch bekannt als die Kralle). Hat das noch jemand und weis wie ich das zurück bekomme? Egal ob gefüllt mit Farbe, Bild, Grafik oder gar blanco.

I realize this is a common issue for users but I cannot publish online, get an error 18 message every time. I am absolutely connected online, i have done everything i can to address the issue based on what I’ve read in the forum, and nothing is working. Why is it that there are no human beings to talk to about this with? Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.

Currently having an issue with my undo/history function. I seem to only be able to go back 2 or 3 commands before the entire history disappears. pls help!

Hello everyone.I want to set two conditions to call different functions:A “partial selection” as a condition:(item.constructor.name == "Text")|| (item.constructor.name == "Word")|| (item.constructor.name == "Character")|| (item.constructor.name == "TextColumn")|| (item.constructor.name == "TextStyleRange")|| (item.constructor.name == "Paragraph")B. “Select All” as another distinct condition.“Select All” may also include tables and images.It seems that whether I select all or just part of the text, the result of `alert(item.constructor.name)` is always “Text”.Is there a simple code for this? Do I really have to check if both \A and .\Z are selected? That’s too complicated and unnecessary.

I have outlined an object in InDesign.I want to outline that stroke and then unify the resultant shape. (Essentially eliminating the stroke but leaving the thickness)This is a piece of cake in Illustrator, but can you do it in InDesign?Please say yes. : )

Bonjour,Mes repères commentés sur Indesign ne fonctionnent plus. Ils sont pourtant bien cochés, mais grisés. “Command U” n’y fait rien.  J’ai également déjà désactivé le magnétismes des repères et magnétisme de la grille, puisque j’ai vu que ça pouvait être une solution sur d’autres forums. Mais rien n’y fait. J’ai mis à jour InDesign (v21.3), et même réinitialisé mes préférences. Evidemment j’ai redémarré mon ordinateur...Ce n’est pas un calque verrouillé ni des éléments de gabarit, juste la grille pour aligner mes éléments entre eux n’apparait pas lorsque je les manipule comme d’habitude. Au cas où je suis sous Mac Tahoe 26.3.1Merci d’avance 

I have paragraph styles for a document I am working on. A style that I have used in the document many times has suddenly failed - it is a bullet, and attached image shows the change. I have selected the text in question, held down Option (Mac) and double clicked the style with no benefit.What has happened ? 

InDesign CCHaving successfully installed many CC apps on my Mac Pro Desktop, I proceeded to do the same on my laptop. However, after two attempts at uninstalling and re-downloading both InDesign CC and the Creative Cloud Desktop. When starting up InDesign, I repeatedly get this error message: "Error: Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you lack sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders. Ensure that you have appropriate permissions and then restart Adobe InDesign." and can go no further.I can find no instruction on how to do this, or reference to anyone else getting this error.MacBook Pro17-inch, Late 2011Processor  2.5 GHz Intel Core i7Memory  8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3Graphics  AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MBSoftware  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
