InDesign

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!

More of a request, but…I noticed that InDesign 2027 does not support JPG XL format files (.jxl), even though Photoshop allows you to make them. I would love to see support for all the newly-emerging filetypes being represented in InDesign. BTW, InDesign v22.0 is nicely stable for me on both macOS and Windows 11. Way to go, Adobe software-making people!

Suddenly, InDesign remembers layer visibility in history (panel), which is driving me crazy, because I have to compare layers, so I do that a lot. I can't find an option to switch off that behaviour. HELP!ID version 21.6

"You cannot reverse this change with the Edit > Undo command. Do you want to continue anyway? (Yes, No) every time I open InDesign now, this window pops up. It comes up again when (at a minimum) the first document is opened. There is nothing I am trying to undo. Any insight as to where this is coming from or how to fix it?

I have a Table of Contents that works fine in the document, but in the dialog box the indenting doesn’t look right. Not a functional problem, just bothers me that I don’t understand why it looks like this or how to fix it: 

I have selected some text that may contain images Rectangle、Oval、Polygon、Graphicline。I don't want to distinguish what these objects are, I want to push them all into one collection.I want to use for to traverse them in the future. Can it be achieved?like this:var d = app.activeDocument;var sel= d.selection;var s= d.selection[0]; var ob=[ob0,ob2,ob3.....]for(var i=0;i<ob.length;i++){ob[i]} 

Dear Adobe Support Team, I am reaching out to report an issue related to ZIP file validation in your software packages and to request your assistance in addressing it.As part of a personal project aimed at mitigating ZIP-based vulnerabilities such as ZIP Slip, ZIP Bombs, and ZIP Filename Spoofing. I’ve implemented a set of validation tools to test ZIP and nested ZIP file structures. This effort is part of a broader goal to ensure software integrity and enhance security.During testing, I prioritized software packages that commonly use ZIP for distribution. While the vast majority passed my validation checks, I encountered issues with Adobe’s package. Specifically, I identified two ZIP files that fail sanitization due to structural issues:* 1\x64\js\node_modules\thread-stream\test\ts-commonjs-default-export.zip* 1\x64\js\node_modules\thread-stream\test\dir with spaces\test-package.zipThese files appear to reside within test directories and do not seem essential to the runtime functi

Does anyone know how to hide the "Application Bar" in InDesign CC 2020? It is useless to me and uses screen real estate. (This is not the Application Frame, which I have turned off. Nor is it the Control bar, which I have turned on.)

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 updated InDesign to 2027 a few days ago, and I am having new problems with section numbering.The table of contents in my manual is assigning the wrong number to sections, even though the correct number shows in the heading in the body of the manual, and in the “Numbering & Section” section under Pages  .It goes 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11.  Section numbers in the body of text are done through auto-numbering, and sections are set up in “Numbering & Section.  They both match.It was fine in 2026.  Any ideas what’s going on and how to fix it? 

Hi everyone,I’m working on recreating a long form in InDesign, and I’ve run into an issue with the text frames.Most of the document uses one text frame per page, but on this particular page there are two separate text frames stacked vertically on the same page. The two frames are threaded to each other:Previous page → Top frame → Bottom frame → Next pageI would like this page to have one single text frame, like the other pages:Previous page → One large frame → Next pageThe two existing frames contain continuous text, so I don’t want to lose or duplicate any text when changing the structure.I tried enlarging the top frame to occupy the full text area of the page. However, the bottom frame is still part of the thread, so the text starts overlapping rather than simply flowing into the enlarged frame.What is the correct way to: Combine these two threaded frames into one frame on the page? Preserve the existing text flow from the previous page and into the next page? Remove the now-unne

I do not know when this feature was rolled out, but now when I’m in InDesign, every text box has an icon with a blue pencil icon that when I hover over it its says ‘Turn on Suggestions’. I keep accidentally clicking on it. I want to disable this feature as it is interrupting my workflow!  I want to have these AI features disabled. 

The latest version of InDesign does not support Apple's font Times Roman. All my old documents used Times Roman space bands as spacing from the templates they were initiated from. Is there a way to automate missing font replacement in my legacy documents to Times New Roman?  Times New Roman has the same character widths.As it stands now, every time I open a legacy document I have to go through the laborious process of replacing the missing font.  Something like Illustrator or Photoshop’s Actions would really serve here.TIAEric

Hello everyone,I'm experiencing an issue with hyphenation. Whenever I open previously created InDesign documents, I get a warning message indicating that the WinSoft hyphenation component is missing.This issue started after upgrading InDesign to version 2027.The problem can be resolved manually by changing the dictionary from WinSoft to Hunspell, but this has to be done individually for each document, which is quite annoying.Does anyone know how to get rid of this problem, or alternatively, how to restore the missing WinSoft dictionary?

I’m curious to know if other designers are integrating AI and adobe Firefly into InDesign

I'm experiencing a recurring issue with Adobe InDesign when trying to import any Word document (.doc or .docx). I always get the error:"Cannot place this file. No filter found for the requested operation."This happens with any Word file — even a brand-new, simple document created just for testing. The file type is not recognized as "importable," and the error persists regardless of file location or format.I've already tried multiple solutions suggested here in the forums, including:Reinstalling InDesignSaving files as .doc, .docx, .rtf, and even .txtTesting different files and formatsEnsuring Microsoft Word is properly installedThe only solution that temporarily works is to completely uninstall InDesign along with Creative Cloud, delete all remaining Adobe system files, and then reinstall everything from scratch. After that, it works once. But the next day, after restarting the computer, the error returns, and I have to go through the entire clean install process again.I am using the l

I am having issues with InDesign 2025 constantly crashing. I even installed older versions in an effort to solve the problem. When I open the application, it freezes, and I have to force quit to close it. It is completely unusable. I have a new desktop computer running Windows 11, enough RAM and a high-speed internet connection. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Furthermore, I cannot download or open my creative cloud files. It simply says: "Download failed". Any ideas?

InDesign 22 (2027) has serious issues, widely reported on internet, including: Jerky Scrolling & Canvas Stuttering; Keyboard Command & UI Delays; Font Activation Stalls & Reflow; AI & Background Bloat; etc. . Do not install. 

Someone in my company recently upgraded to InDesign 2027, when they went back to try and revert to 2026 it no longer shows older versions on the creative cloud. We all have to be on the same version due to other plugins we use with Indesign that are linked. We can not convert pages down because it messes up the other pulgins that we use with Indesign. My company is not set to upgrade until January. How can this person get the 2026 version back. When the computer auto updated it also auto deleted the old version. Why is Adobe not allowing to revert to older versions once they upgrade to 2027. 

The lines that appear in this Publish Online version are not in the original placed images. They appear on multiple pages throughout the document (pp. 2,4,6,7 etc) I thought maybe it has to do with the transparency of the background image, but it’s inconsistent. For example, pp. 34 and 35 have placed background images that were created and formatted the same way, (both with 62% opacity) but the lines only show up on p. 34. The transparency blend space for the document is set to RGB. And the placed images in question are RGB.FYI, using Indesign version 21.5.1on MacOSAny insights would be greatly appreciated.
