InDesign

I am not able to save to my FileServers ​​​​​​after updating to InDesign 21.5.1.I am boring on an iMac with OS 26.6.2. When I try save the file locally it’s OK.On the server a file is placed but it’s empty 0Kb.I have tried on different servers with the same problem. 

Hi all - As noted, 100% black in ID turns into 91% in a PDF.This appears to be similar to this post - however, I haven’t found something that works, and am not sure what’s going on.Have there been any updates to the process here? Any troubleshooting tips?Maybe export to a different profile?[edit] Gray Gamma 2.2 seems to be ok - not sure why 100% black would be changing in other export profiles though… ?FWIW - we’re printing in black only. There’s an RGB image with an almost-black that’s converting properly. (I didn’t receive a profile...)thanks!

When scaling or repositioning objects contained within a group, the object should snap to other objects within that group (when smart guides are enabled). This includes images within frames. EG, if you want to resize an image within a frame to the edge of the frame, this won’t work if the frame is part of a group. This was originally posted on UserVoice in July 2019 and commented on by Ravi Kiran from the Adobe InDesign team in July 2019. This issue remains in 2026.

It’s a 250-page document in InDesign 21.1 on Tahoe 26. on MacBook Pro. I’ve placed 150 or more links. Some link to anchors, some do not. I removed underlines manually but experimented on the same page without doing that, same problem. I created an IDML file. Same problem. What I don’t undestand is the inconsistency. It’s possible that it fails to work within paragraphs that have styles attached to them.  I’m lost. Gonna reboot my machine now. 

It would be really helpful if InDesign had a simple option to prevent a Table of Contents from inheriting character-level formatting from the source headings.For example, if a word in a chapter heading is manually set to red, the TOC can sometimes bring that red formatting along with it. The same can happen with coloured page numbers or other local formatting.CHAPTER HEADINGTOCIdeally, the TOC should have an option such as “Ignore source character formatting” or “Use TOC formatting only”, so that the generated TOC follows its own Paragraph and Character Styles consistently.This becomes especially important in long documents where the TOC is updated frequently. Manually correcting inherited colours after every update is not practical.A dedicated setting to completely override source formatting would make TOC generation much more predictable and efficient.  

Hi, experiencing this problem for a while:When i import an image into InDesign and open it in Photoshop, make some changes, and change the canvas size to a larger state; even after applying all the changes, the InDesign frame still displays the image’s canvas size at its old size. Other changes appear as it is but canvas size change remains unchanged. When I open it again in Photoshop for check, the canvas size appears at its true size, but the InDesign image remains unchanged, stuck in its old state. No matter what I do, InDesign doesn't forget the image's original canvas size and stubbornly remains in that size in the frame and looks like cropped.Has anyone experienced this problem or knows how to solve it?Thanks and regards to the community...

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

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.

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!

MacBook Pro M2 Max Chip 64GB memory, Sonoma, INDD v20.4.1Packaging files stops. The status indicator keeps circling and packaging process does not seem to finish. This began yesterday and has happened when attempting to package different files. The “Saving the Document” status bar is at ~10%. When I look at the background tasks it indicates the exporting the file is at 90 or 95% and exporting the PDF is queued. When I go to “Force Quit” applications sometimes InDesign looks fine, other times it is “not responding. Cancelling doesn’t work. I get impatient after a few minutes and end up force quitting INDD.When I look to see where I put the packaged folder. It’s there and everything is in the folder with the exception of the IDML file, sometimes the PDF isn’t there either. I've tried many times in the last 18 hours.OK – so then I try packaging without the IDML file and INDD locks up. Package Document status bar at the ~20% – status indicator (blue circle thingy) not visible in tool bar.

Hej. Jag har försökt under flera månader, eller enstaka tillfällen under några månader att installera programmet. Det går inte. Det öppnas flera sidor “du är inloggad, stäng detta fönstret” Brandväggen är av medans jag hämtar och installerar. 

I have set the default language in my Creative Cloud to English but my InDesign app interface keeps randomly changing the language to my native language. The only, incredibly tiresome solution is to uninstall and the re-install InDesign and HOPE that the interface in is english. Sometimes it is and stays that way maybe even months, but then one morning I open my InDesign and the interface is in my native language again. All other Adobe apps are in English and InDesign is the only app that keeps doing this at random intervals.This is such a waste of time!!!

Depuis la mise à jour d’indesign hier, lorsque je prend une couleur avec l’outil pipette dans un import Ai CMJN, l’outil me crée une valeur RVB dans le nuancier. Le fichier AI est bien en CMJN, l’export en PDFX se fait bien en CMJN. 

When I publish online, the images in the document all turn dull in colour and contrast, even though the graphics remain the correct colour.All my images are sRGB, I’m publishing in JPEG format, I’ve tried adding a transparent rectangle on each page as someone suggested. Colour settings below.What else can I do to fix this?  

I’m working on designing a digital menu for a restaurant and want to make it more user-friendly and visually appealing. Are there any Adobe tools or best practices you recommend for optimizing the layout, typography, and images? Also, what’s the best way to ensure mobile responsiveness?For reference, I’m looking at examples like chipotlMenu.com  and would love to hear suggestions on how to enhance similar designs.Looking forward to expert insights!

Bonjour, J’essaie, en vain, d’exporter en PDF, un fichier de 137 pages, constitués essentiellement de liens InDesign. Lorsque je tente d’exporter l’ensemble du document, le processus n’aboutit pas en m’indiquant à chaque tentative un problème sur telle ou telle page (le document ne contient aucune erreur, les liens indesign non plus).Lorsque je tente d’exporter le document bouts par bouts, j’arrive à avoir des PDF mais les images sont mal imprimées : Avez-vous une idée d’où peut venir le (ou les) problème(s) ?Merci beaucoup pour votre aide ! 

Hi everyone,I would like to ask a question not about a specific single Adobe application, but directly regarding Adobe and macOS Tahoe in general.Ever since I upgraded to Tahoe (since September 2025), using Adobe applications has turned into complete torture. First, I ran into InDesign place issues. Dreamweaver crashes constantly—it even crashed 22 times in half a day. Despite having an active Adobe CC subscription and Dreamweaver, I am on the verge of buying Panic Nova ($99). For a while now, I’ve also been considering buying QuarkXPress instead of InDesign (I used Quark back in the 1990s anyway).While Adobe apps used to launch quickly on my MacBook Pro, launch times started to drag out with new minor Tahoe updates, and it gets slower with every single update. Acrobat triggers the beachball without exception every single time, forcing me to wait for it to finish before I can do anything. There are many more issues, but these are enough to illustrate the situation. The MacBook Pro + Ta

I have been doing some searching over the past few days and finally discovered that the text wrap on my objects are all set to a defaut of “jump object.” I would like all text wrap options to be turned off unless otherwise specified. How do I ensure that text wrap is turned off as a default? For existing elements, is there anyway to globally turn this setting off throughout my document?Object with the “jump object” setting specified​​​​​​Thanks! 

Ich habe seit einem Dropbox-Absturz und einem Indesignabsturz ein reproduzierbares Problem mit Adobe InDesign. System macOS Tahoe 26.6.2, InDesign 21.5.1 und die aktuelle Dropbox Desktop Version. Seit dem Dropbox-Absturz sind in allen bestehenden InDesign-Dokumenten verknüpfte Bilder betroffen. Die Verknüpfungen werden als korrekt angezeigt und ich kann die Dateien aus InDesign im Finder und in Photoshop öffnen. Trotzdem werden fast alle Bilder nur als graue Kästen oder völlig kaputt in der "Anzeige mit hoher Qualität" dargestellt. In der "normalen Ansicht sind die Bilder sichtbar.Das fast schlimmere Problem: PDF-Export schlägt wegen dieser Bilder fehl.  und verpacken geht auch nicht.Ich habe bereits Folgendes versucht:InDesign aktualisiert. macOS aktualisiert, Voreinstellungen zurückgesetzt, IDML-Export getestet, TIFF-Dateien lassen sich überall öffnen. Ein neues InDesign-Dokument kann die gleichen TIFFs problemlos platzieren und exportieren. Wenn ich in einem alten Dokument ein einze

This new udpate gives me a contstant spinning wheel almost after each action I try to make. Select an item, move an item, open a panel, open a menu, anything really—each interactions causes the wheel to appear for 1-2sec. My productivity has been completely obliterated. Anyone else having this issue?   MacBook Pro 2023 M2 Max 32 GB  Sequoia 15.0.1     <Title renamed by MOD>

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?
