InDesign

This background incorporates a "gradual feathering" effect.Now, after pressing Shift and clicking separately, you have selected two images, and then you try to select the image on the left as the key object.You will find that you always choose the background.But if you want to select the image on the right as the key object, there is no problem. 

"Hi everyone,I recently switched to a new MacBook and I am trying to set up my workflow. I have several ongoing projects that were created using InDesign 2024 (version 19.x).To ensure the layout and formatting of these existing files remain perfectly intact, I do not want to convert them to the latest version of InDesign at this stage. I specifically need to install the 2024 version on my new machine to continue working on these files.However, when I check the 'Other Versions' section in the Creative Cloud Desktop app, the 2024 version is not listed or available for download. I have searched through various Adobe help pages but haven't found a direct download link or a way to make it appear in the app.Could someone please guide me on how to access and install InDesign 2024 on a new macOS system?Thank you in advance for your help!"

I have selected some text (such as 9 lines) and I want to use a script to adjust the line spacing.After adjusting the line spacing with the script, how can I add one more line (such as 10 lines) than before?var d = app.activeDocument;var item = app.selection[0];oLinesNum = item.lines.length;//do somethingitem.texts[0].leading = 16 - 1;//Retrieve the selection with one less row//like thisapp.select(oLinesNum + 1) 

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!

Emergency situation. I’ve had to delay publication because of a critical problem and my entire business depends on fixing it in the next two days or less.Last year the on-screen-only PDF version topped out about 67 MB. Big but manageable. This year it’s over 165 Mb. This year was slightly bigger (a few more pages added but all vector animations and text). The size of the full .indd file went up from about 490 Mb to 692 MB. When I save-as it reduces to 386 until it’s opened.Adding about a dozen vector images and text frames shouldn’t add 100 MB to a PDF, when downsampling is deeply constricted in size reduction (96/144, Medium resolution). I have an absolute ton of internal and external hyperlinks, cross-references and so on. Graphics aside from the cover are reasonably small for the most part, although there may be a handful that are a bit bigger.What can I check and compress to make this a lot smaller? My hosting server will not allow a file that big, and I doubt my customers want a 1

Hello everyone.When this table spans two columns of text, I need to distinguish whether the last two rows of the cells I have selected are in the same or diffrent text column.It seems that it is necessary to calculate the width of the text box, the width of the table, and the offset value of text [0] for each cell in order to determine.The following method seems to be only applicable when tables cross text boxes. Among them, the selected row can be directly processed using the ​@m1b  function.var d = app.activeDocument;var item = app.selection[0];var selRows = getRows(d.selection[0]);curFrame = item.texts[0].parentTextFrames[0];var le = selRows.length;var leftColumnOffset = selRows[le - 2].cells[0].insertionPoints[0].parentTextFrames[0];var rightColumnOffset = selRows[le - 1].cells[0].insertionPoints[0].parentTextFrames[0];//var leftColumnOffset = selRows[le - 2].cells.everyItem().getElements();//var rightColumnOffset = selRows[le - 1].cells.everyItem().getElements();//Are they always

InDesign 2025. If I go to the menu, choose Object > Generate QR Code and type in the ISBN number in the Content Plain Text dialog box, will I get the correct barcode? How do I test it?Thank you.

Hi all, is it possible to upload my InDesign snippets to the Adobe CC Library?

Why did the update erase all my custom workspaces

Ever since the update to 2026, my InDesign panels won't open on occassion. I have to quit InDesign and reopen to get the the panels to open. Anyone else experiencing this? (Windows 11 Pro)

I no longer use the Monotype program. How do I delete the plug in from InDesign?

InDesign this version is CRAP so many issues with it. Font issues. Formatting issues. Now crashing during output - add that to the list -  Why do so many updates just to break things that were working fine in the first place, to add a bunch of features most of us will never ever use. Most commercial users of this program do not need all the bells and whistles, we just need it to work correctly for basic usage. I just came here to say I basically hate Adobe. I hate it ever since it went to CC. Too many updates, too many issues, etc. SIGH - and to think we PAY for this lol

Every month once Indesign is updated, our whole company is unable to open adobe. They get the error "indesign.exe - application error. The application was unable to start correctly (0x0000142). Click OK to close the application." This has been an on going issue for a few months now. The temp fix is to run a repair on the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable which fixes it until the next update comes out. This is for windows 11. Is there a more permanent fix for this?   

I work on Windows. InDesign is very slow during any operation. Sometimes, when I close the program via Task Manager because it won't close otherwise, sometimes it even seems InDesign is running double. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

I've been designing the same 40 page publication for years. It is set up with 4 different master pages (spreads). Every master has 2 columns with a .25 inch gutter width.In the past, I've always been able to drag the gutter on the layout pages to change the width of each column (to match the content). But in the past year or so, every time I try to do so, it defaults to .1667 inch gutter width.Why doesn't InDesign maintain the .25 inch gutter when I move it now? Currently I have to re-set the gutter manually using the Layout> Margins and Columns dialogue box for every page where I don't want equal columns. Very annoying!Any help is much appreciated!

To whom it may concern:InDesign Crashes After Renaming Objects in Local LibraryIf the "Object Name" field of an object in a local InDesign Object Library is modified and the dialog is closed by pressing the Enter key (OK), InDesign may occasionally crash.Solution: This issue can be avoided by not confirming the change with the Enter key. Instead, click the OK button with the mouse to close the dialog. When the change is confirmed this way, InDesign does not crash.InDesign stürzt nach Ändern des Objektnamens von lokalen Bibliothek-Objekten ab Lösung: Wird das Feld "Objektname" eines Objekts in einer loaklen InDesign-Objektbibliothek geändert und das Fenster durch drücken der Eingabetaste – OK – geschlossen, stürzt InDesign manchmal ab. Wird die Änderung NICHT mit der Eingabetaste bestätigt, sontern der OK-Button mit der Maus angeklickt, kann das vermieden werden und InDesign stürzt nicht ab.

Hi,I’m creating a print document for an organization and their brand guide is based on their website. The brand guide specifies their boxes have rounded corners with an outer radius of 20px.  I went into preferences and changed my horizontal and vertical ruler to use pixels. However if I set the rounded corners on my box to 20px, it looks much more rounded than what I see on the website. Is it something to do with pixel per inch ratio of print vs web? How should I adjust it? thanks! 

I am trying to change the leading of my document, but I can't figure out how to make it apply to spacing within paragraphs and not just the space between paragraphs. The document I'm working with is poetry, so for the most part this isn't a problem but every once in a while there is one word that won't fit on a line and then is very tight to the previous line.
