InDesign

When I try to delete Indesign files from my desktop, even if the files are small - it can take up to 60 seconds for things to fully delete. Same when using box or google drive folders and copying to desktop. These are small files, and no other program’s files take the amount of time the Indesign files do. Sometimes even renaming takes up to 45 seconds. What’s up with this? Mac OS 15.7.7, Indesign 21.4.1. 

I'm experiencing a reproducible issue with Adobe InDesign 21.4.1 on Windows 11.Environment:- Windows 11- Adobe InDesign 21.4.1- Single monitorIssue:If InDesign is closed while the Pages panel is the active panel, opening any .indd file by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer causes InDesign to freeze during startup.The loading cursor continues indefinitely and the document never opens.However, if I launch InDesign first and then use File > Open, the same document opens normally.What I tested:- The issue also occurs with a brand new test.indd file.- It is not related to a specific document.- Resetting InDesign preferences temporarily fixes the issue.- Other panels (Layers, Links, Transform, etc.) can be moved or docked without causing the problem.- If I close InDesign with the Properties panel active instead of the Pages panel, double-click opening works normally.- Simply displaying the Pages panel before closing InDesign causes the issue to return, even without saving the workspac

Indesign Server 2026 Premium (21.3.0.60)First instance runs successfully, 2nd instance stops immediately with: failed. date must not be nullCreated new installer package and reinstalled IndesingUpdated Visual C++ runtimechecked system for errors.No effect, One one Indesign instance will run. all others stop immediately.

My Table of Contents generated in Indesign is not being read in the Read Out Loud function in Acrobat. The tagging structure within Acrobat all looks fine (<TOC>, <TOCI> etc.) and works when I disable the new Acrobat feature. This issue also applies to PDFs created previously, which again worked fine on the old version of Acrobat.I have also noticed other elements not being read also, as in alt text applied to inline figures and interactive forms.Any information at all would be helpful as I know my client will raise this issue.

I uncheck "Open in Full Screen Mode" when exporting an interactive PDF, but Acrobat (and Reader) continue to tell me my PDF is trying to open in full screen. This document is for non-tech savvy people who are going to have trouble with extra clicks or changing Acrobat settings. What am I missing here?

Hello,I am a professional graphic designer and I use Adobe InDesign all day, every day, for client work.Immediately after installing the macOS 27 Golden Gate Public Beta, InDesign became almost unusable.The problem is intermittent. InDesign can work normally for a while, then suddenly freeze. It seems to happen most often when I am editing text or changing fonts, although I cannot reproduce it consistently.When this happens:Save becomes disabled (greyed out). Save As becomes disabled. Close becomes disabled. I cannot save my work. I cannot close the document. The only solution is to Force Quit InDesign, which causes me to lose hours of work.This happens with multiple InDesign documents, not just one file.I have already:Updated InDesign to the latest version. Tested a previous version of InDesign. Restarted my Mac many times.The issue started immediately after installing the macOS 27 Golden Gate Public Beta.Has anyone else experienced this issue?Can Adobe confirm whether this is a known

Hi everyone.I want to use a script to set the object style for the following image.I searched for some information and tried several times without success.The annotation section seems incorrect, while the rest is correct.reference material:https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#AnchoredObjectSetting.htmlThank you very much. imgObjStySet()；function imgObjStySet() {var imgObjSty= app.documents[0].objectStyles.itemByName('img') imgObjSty.setDimensionAttributeState(DimensionAttributes.WIDTH_ATTRIBUTE, true); imgObjSty.transformAttributeOptions.transformAttrWidth = '52mm'; imgObjSty.textWrapPreferences.textWrapOffset = ["2mm", "2mm", "5mm", "5mm"]; //imgObjSty.anchoredObjectSettings = { // anchorPoint: AnchorPoint.TOP_CENTER_ANCHOR, // horizontalReferencePoint: AnchoredRelativeTo.TEXT_FRAME, // verticalReferencePoint: VerticallyRelativeTo.LINE_BASELINE, // horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.CENTER_ALIGN, // verticalAlignmen

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!

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!

Hi everyone.If I select partial text, I will clear the preference for the selected text.If all text (the whole story) is selected, priority will be given to clearing all objects under the story.I found that I selected the entire story and only selected some of the text,The results of alert (app. selection [0]. constructor. name) are allText.How can I distinguish between these two states?thank you.

I have experienced this error (0xc0000142) when attempting to open InDesign and illustrator several times over the course of a few months now. There is a fix that I found through the Adobe forums that involves repairing the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable program files and it works temporarily, but after a few weeks the problem reappears. I have tried installing several versions of both programs to see if it is just affecting a specific version, but it does not appear to make a difference.Any help toward a permanent fix is appreciated, as I require authorization from my company’s tech support department in order to perform the fix every time this problem occurs and it is interfering with my job. Thank you below is the fix I have had to do if anyone is interested. again it works but only temporarily for me:

Hi all,I’m hoping someone has seen this before, because I’m running out of things to try.I’m using the latest version of InDesign on Windows 11 Pro. While working on presentations, InDesign initially behaves normally, but after several minutes it gradually starts to malfunction.The first symptom is usually that Ctrl+Z / Undo becomes unavailable. After that, other problems begin to appear:Images become difficult or impossible to resize or place Scrolling through the document becomes intermittent The spinning blue Windows cursor sometimes appears I can usually close and save the document, although occasionally saving also fails InDesign itself will not close normally I have to force-close the application through Task ManagerThere are no error messages and the application does not fully crash. It simply becomes increasingly unresponsive.The issue happens during normal work, including selecting objects, editing text, moving items and placing or resizing images. It does not appear to be lim

Le document final se compose de plusieurs chapitres, chacun possédant ses notes (notes de fin) dont la numérotation automatique est insérée dans le corps du chapitre après le mot concerné sous la forme d’un appel de note. Je souhaiterai en plus, en début de chaque note, insérer automatiquement le numéro de la page où se trouve cet appel de note.Est-ce possible et comment ?

I didn't understand this, what's the unique usage.I thought it could be set separately, but always with the last one unifying all four sides. tabSty.properties = {//topBorderStrokeWeight: '0.1mm',//leftBorderStrokeWeight: '0.2mm',//bottomBorderStrokeWeight: '0.5mm',rightBorderStrokeWeight: '0.5mm',} 

I’ve just updated to InDesign 21.4.1, although doing this through Creative Cloud I wasn't given the option of an ‘Update’ button, instead I had a ‘Download’ button, which seems like it is a completely new program? But once I downloaded the app, it appeared like an update by overwriting version 24.1.When I launched the new version, all of my preferences and workspace disappeared, I also wasn’t given the option to transfer them over either. So I have just wasted an hour of my time having to set them all up again, trying to remember all of my preferences. 

Hallo!Ich muss eine beschreibbare PDF erstellen, in der nicht nur verschiedene Textblöcke, sondern auch verschiedene Bilder ausgetauscht werden können.Im PDF Acrobat habe ich bereits versucht, Bilder rein zuladen - diese lassen sich aber z.B nicht gut skalieren wenn Sie nicht der Breite der Bildbox entsprechen und rutschen somit aus dem Layout.Gibt es die Möglichkeit, bei Indesign oder im PDF Acrobat Dokumente so aufzubauen, dass jemand die Bilder austauschen kann bzw. in die Vorlage reinladen kann? Hier geht es auch um Ebenen, Bilder liegen unter Text etc. - Das konnte ich bisher nicht finden. Danke!

Moin zusammen,ich habe auf meinem neuen MacBook Pro (32GB, M5) ein InDesign Problem, das ich vorher so nie hatte.Folgende Situation:Bisher habe ich immer ohne Probleme mit der Anzeigeleistung "Anzeige mit hoher Qualtät" gearbeitet. Nun erhalte ich die verschiedensten Meldungen, die ich vorher noch nie auf irgendeinem Gerät hatte Ich habe es deinstalliert und nochmal probiert, das schließen musste ich mehrfach erzwingen weil nichts anklickbar ist (siehe Bild 1)Das komischte ist, wenn ich die Anzeigeleistung "Normale Anzeige" wähle, tauchen die Bilder wieder auf - zwar pixelig aber sie sind immerhin dargestellt.Sobald ich mir eine Grafik aus Illustrator rüberkopiere, hängt er sich jedes Mal kurz auf und scheint Probleme zu haben. Bei normalen JPGs oder PNGs ebenfalls, allerdings nicht immer bei allen im generellen, manche zeigt er an, manche nicht (siehe Bild 2)Ich habe selbst schon etwas in den Voreinstellungen rum probiert, hat sich bisher aber nichts getan. Kennt jemand das Problem?Da

I have a 8.5 x 11 facing page document where some of the pages have a full page image which bleeds on (for example) the top, bottom and left if a left side page and I have a 1/8 set on top outer and bottom sides and 0” bleed on the inside. The image is aligned to the page edge on the inner gutter with no image bleeding to the right side. Verifying the alignment the right edge is at 8.5”. If I make a pdf there is a teeny sliver of the image showing up on the right hand inner margin of the facing page. I have one client that always flags this issue so I have to fix this by setting the image to 8.499”. This seems like a bug and once it is pointed out to me it really bothers me.  It only seems to do this for photos and not coloured boxes. Is there something I am doing wrong? I have attached screen shots from the pdf. First image shows a 2up display where you can see the teeeny slice. Image 2 shows the single page view where the slice is more obvious (not big but it is there and my client h

macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta…Find/Change doesn’t show up…I know I’m not supposed to be working with a beta OS, but here I am… I just thought it might be useful for some people to know…

Is it possible to delete a button's roll over state once it's created? I can hide it, but I want it gone or deactivated. Any way to do this?
