InDesign

The latest version on InDesign was not working on our Windows 11 systems: it either wouldn’t launch or when using it, text will disappear in text boxes (even though it is still there) and the Undo action only performs one or two undos. Uninstalled and went back to InDesign version 20.5.1 which appeared to work fine until today: now I am having the same undo problem. Tested in a brand new document.It should be noted that coworkers with Macs are not having this issue.I saw a previous post that said this could be fixed by unchecking the GPU option in preferences, but that is NOT checked in mine (it is greyed out because it says it does not detect a compatible device).It is almost impossible to work knowing you only have one undo, please advise how to fix this!

Hi I am fairly new to InDesign and am trying to create a Table of Contents. I have created a Paragraph Style with Large text, in bold, callled 'Table of Contents Heading'. If I create some text using this paragraph style it shows exactly as I want. However, when I try to create a Table of Contents, and instruct InDesign to use this for the Title Style, it just shows a basic White Text. I have attached  a couple of marked up screenshots showing the Table of Contents with the wrong Title Style and odd objects, and also a screen shot of the TOC Settings. The Green shows the Parapgraph Style in a normal Text Box, all Good.The Red shows the TOC Title which should look the same as the text circled in Green.The Orange shows items I have no idea where they have come from. Nothing I try makes any difference. If I double click into the Table of Contents and select the text, it states that it is in the Style I want, but the Font size and all other attributes are

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!

Hello,I’m working on setting up a document where I have 8” x 9” pages forming a 16” x 9” spread. I’m trying to set up a 5 column grid on my master spread that jumps the gutter, but I can only find ways to set the number of columns per PAGE, and not to set the margins for the spread. In essence, I need a 16” x 9” page with a 5 column grid, but I need to set it up using two 8” x 9” pages so it can be printed as a spread. I functionally need 2.5 columns per page to create the grid structure I am looking for, but InDesign doesn’t support fractional columns, either.Can anyone tell me if there is a clean way to achieve this?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!

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!

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.

Is it possible to create dynamic QR codes? I know you can create static QR codes but I would like it to change midway

I just updated InDesign CC and it is now highlighting text that doesn't follow an established paragraph style. How do I turn this feature off?

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?

Presumably yet another bug but great news we now have more AI no one asked for.Examples: MaximiseAppetising Are now flagged as spelt wrong with American options offered. Language is set to UK, language on computer is set to UK, this literally happened today with your wonderful new update. 

Using Share for Review in InDesign’s June 2020 release, you can share your designs for online review, and manage feedback right within the app. Stakeholders can open the shared document in a browser to provide feedback. Share for Review streamlines and simplifies the review process for both designers and their stakeholders.     The following FAQs provide clarity on common questions around Share for Review:   Share the document for review - FAQ View reviewer comments - FAQ  Review the document - FAQ Best practices   How is Share for Review different from the ‘Integrated comment and review’ feature in InDesign CS5? How does it compare to the Import PDF Comments (IPC) feature?   Adobe is investing in features and services that make creative collaboration easier and more enjoyable.   With Share for Review, our aspiration is to make reviewing and editing InDesign creative

All my books (several hundred) are formatted using the Times New Roman TTF font. The new version of InDesign 21.0 changes that to Times New Roman OTF.Fortunately, version 20.0 is still installed. I know from experience that strange things can happen in updates.. However, the problem with the latest update has also been introduced in that version.OTF is only available with a licence, which I do not have. I would appreciate some help.Cor van Wijgerden     <Title renamed by MOD>

I have selected an image that is embedded in a text box.I want to obtain the Y value of the anchor point and the X value of the left column line of the anchor point. 

Using extendscript I want to insert a textFrame at the end of a table cell that contains several paragraphs. But this keeps throwing an error stating that this is not allowed for graphic type cells. But the cell is not a graphic type, as I already placed several paragraphs in it. And even after forcing the cell type to text the error remains:        cell.cellType = CellTypeEnum.TEXT_TYPE_CELL;        newFrame = cell.textFrames.add();Throws a runtime error as indicated.Is this a bug ?Running version 21.4.1.164 

Hi everyone.I have selected all the content of the article and want to control the embedded images, so I need to obtain the text box where the images are located.Surprisingly, The parent of the character  is “Story”, not “TextFrame”.And parentTextFrames [0] may not necessarily be the text box where the image is located, It refers to the first text box that appears to be the story.How can I get the current textFrame for 'story. allGraphics [i]'?Thank you.var d = app.documents[0];var item = d.selection[0]var story = item.parent;if (story.allGraphics.length > 0) { for (var i = 0; i < story.allGraphics.length; i++) { var curFrame = story.allGraphics[i].parent.parent.parentTextFrames[0]; alert(curFrame.constructor.name); }} 

I was wondering if we are the only ones in the world experiencing this.6 workstations, each with different settings/customizations, yet all 6 have the same problem.InDesign starts showing the loading circle, as if it is doing something, and we are unable to select any object. Some parts of the application are still somewhat usable.We find ourselves restarting the app 10 times or more per day, and, of course, restarting the application is not as simple as pressing the "X" button in the top-right corner because it doesn't do anything. We need to open the Task Manager and force-close InDesign every time. We restart, and here we are: after a whopping 10 minutes of work, we need to restart the s***t application again.We've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, deleting all preferences and scripts, and installing it under another user account.

I have looked at the issues but the posts are 11 years old . I have tried to sort and it’s still happening. ANY ideas welcome.It’s something within resolution, double screen I THINK but i have tried multiple options. Any ideas?

I feel so complicated now. var d = app.activeDocument;var item = d.selection[0]; if (item.constructor.name == 'Rectangle' && 'TextFrame' == item.parent.parentTextFrames[0].constructor.name) { var curFrame = item.parent.parentTextFrames[0]; alert(curFrame); imgFitFrame(item, curFrame); }I feel so complicated now.When selecting an image, I want to get the text box where the image is located. But it's strange that when I select an image outside the box, there will be an error, and it should not have any response at this time.At this point, 'item. parent. parentTextFrames [0]' does not exist and prompts' illegal '. What should I do? 

We're experiencing an issue when attempting to relink missing assets stored on an SMB network share.EnvironmentAdobe InDesign (Latest Version)Files stored on an SMB network share.macOS (Fully up to date)The ProblemWhen a linked file is missing and we choose Relink in InDesign, searching for the filename returns no results, even though the file exists on the SMB share.However:Finder can locate the file immediately.Spotlight also finds the file without any issues.Screenshot 1 Attached – InDesign Relink search returns no resultsWhat We Have TriedWe found a script that can be run from within InDesign. When the script performs a search of the same SMB share, it successfully finds the missing files.This suggests that InDesign itself can access the share, but the built-in Relink search is behaving differently from the script.Script DetailsNetwork issue accessing images | CommunityScreenshot 2 Attached– Script successfully returns search resultsQuestionsHas anyone encountered this behaviour be

I have created an interactive calculator for a few of our price list documents. To do so, I have to copy/paste the calculator created in PDF to the PDF documents. I would like to see if there is a way to do it directly from the InDesign document so it will save me time. I have 9 documents to do this to. Here is a link to what we are using: https://logiflex.ca/medias/documents/graphics-test-calculator.pdf
