It was effective at the beginning.I manually dragged it, but running the script afterwards didn't work.After manually dragging, I tried "Make Frame Fit Content" or "Make Content Fit Frame" respectively, but neither had any effect.var d = app.activeDocument;var item = d.selection[0]; frameFitToContent(item);//frameFitToContent(item.parent);//contentFitToFrame(item.parent);function frameFitToContent(s) { //s.frameFittingOptions.autoFit = true; s.frameFittingOptions.fittingAlignment = AnchorPoint.TOP_LEFT_ANCHOR; s.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);}function contentFitToFrame(s) { //s.frameFittingOptions.autoFit = true; s.frameFittingOptions.fittingAlignment = AnchorPoint.TOP_LEFT_ANCHOR; s.fit(FitOptions.FILL_PROPORTIONALLY);} 

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.

I need to determine if a paragraph style group exists. Generally, this avoids the judgment of non existence://This is the previous practice of using else to determine 'non-existent' in reversevar d = app.activeDocument;var item = d.selection[0];if(d.paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName('AA').isValid){var myGroup=d.paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName('AA');alert('AA exist')}else{alert('AA dose not exist')}But sometimes I need to directly determine that it doesn't exist and find that both of the following are invalid://Now I want to directly determine that 'AA' does not exist.var d = app.activeDocument;var item = d.selection[0];if(d.paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName('AA').inValid){alert('group does not exist');}if(!d.paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName('AA').isValid){alert('group does not exist');} 

Hello again.I’m working on getting back to the other questions I’ve started, but meanwhile I’m also trying to get this ebook out on Draft 2 Digital.The ebook cover looked fine when I uploaded it to Amazon, but now that I’ve got it on Draft 2 Digtial it is scaled wrong.  Google says the original image is 600 x1004 pixels and that that is the problem. Is there a way to upscale it using InDesign? I’ve adjusted the layout to be 1600 x2560 which is the dimensions I want, but when I place the image and fit it to the frame it appears I’m stretching it instead of upscaling it. Is there a way to fix this? 

We're seeing an intermittent crash when quitting InDesign 2026 (v21.5.1.73, macOS 26.5.2, Apple Silicon) while our C++ SDK plugin is loaded. The crash occurs on the VulcanMsgRecv thread, inside a dynamic_cast in VulcanMessage5.dylib, apparently operating on a freed/invalid object (KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS, guard-pattern address). Two independent crash reports, captured on different days, show byte-identical offsets into VulcanMessage5.dylib (only the ASLR base differs), indicating this is a single deterministic code path rather than a generic timing race: Crash 1 (2026-08-11): base 0x1028cc000Crash 2 (2026-08-10): base 0x107784000Both crashes, same relative offsets:0 libc++abi.dylib __cxxabiv1::...dyn_cast_get_derived_info + 81 libc++abi.dylib __dynamic_cast + 562 VulcanMessage5.dylib +1018963 VulcanMessage5.dylib +1003924 VulcanMessage5.dylib +1016405 VulcanMessage5.dylib +1003446 VulcanMessage5.dylib +1059487 VulcanMessage5.dylib +1049008 VulcanMessage5.dylib +1047289 VulcanMessage5.dyli

Hi Community,I went back recently to open an old book cover InDesign Template and only found the last page of a three page spread. Went back and found that for several of my covers (which I spent dozens of hours on) only the last page had saved. Now, I can go to the PDFs that I converted these templates to and open them in InDesign, but, unfortunately, I created outlines for most of my text and when InDesign opens the PDF and converts it back to a document it preserves that feature and I can’t undo it. So I can’t edit the type. I don’t think I can get back my editable templates. I think those might be lost forever, but how do I know if I’m saving the entire three page spread or just one page of it? Do I need to make sure the cursor is on the background of the template and not on any one part of the spread? Do I need to make sure no one page is highlighted? Should I just always create a cover as a single page? Any help would be great.

Hello everyone, I am having a strange problem with exporting to PDF. I am working on a print book cover for Amazon Kindle and the book cover I have looks fine in my InDesign Program. But then when I export to PDF (using the X-1A option) this strange shadow shows up beneath my name and behind the image on the Kindle Print Previewer. I’ve checked the transparency and I believe everything is 100% opaque (except of course for the border which is a PNG file). I tried adding a box with the cover color behind the image to no luck.Now I checked with someone on Amazon’s end and they said my image wasn’t flattened. When I tried “print to PDF” the grey shadow box thing disappeared. But of course I can’t upload the Print to PDF option in Amazon because there is no size option for the size of my cover (all the options in print to PDF are for very specific paper options).Does anyone know how to get rid of this shadow or what is causing it? 

I'm developing an IDML comparison tool and also sell InDesign scripts on aescripts. This trial is free; I plan to offer a paid version. I'm seeking feedback from people who can test an unsigned Windows 64-bit build locally on a real translation job. This closed 2020 thread (https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/text-compare-between-two-indesign-files/m-p/10894167) suggested Acrobat's PDF comparison and Track Changes for comparing InDesign text. My related question comes from years of translation work: after a document comes back from translation, what changed structurally, and is anything missing? The tool compares the source IDML and the returned IDML for: - missing stories, text frames and tables where a match can be established; emptied story or table-cell text; changes in footnote and anchored-object counts per story- changes in paragraph counts, table row and column counts, applied paragraph styles, and the sequence of character styles within a paragraph- paragraphs,

Hello, I no longer have the option to download older versions of InDesign; is it still possible to access them via Creative Cloud?

Since the 2026 versions of InDesign, I am experiencing major display/rendering issues when working with documents created for Web/Digital use. The problem occurs both when opening older existing documents and when creating completely new ones.There are two main issues:1. Incorrect scaling and positioning at different zoom levelsWhen changing the zoom level, the page/workspace and the designed elements are not displayed at the correct scale relative to each other. Frames themselves appear to be positioned correctly, but their content is visually shifted or incorrectly scaled. This makes precise layout work almost impossible because what I see on screen does not correspond to the actual document.The document itself seems to be correct: the exported result is correct, and switching to Overprint Preview also immediately displays everything correctly. However, working permanently in Overprint Preview should not be necessary and for RGB its obsolet.2. Incorrect RGB color display with transpa

Indesign 21.3 / OS Tahoe 26.3.1 / Synology servermounting Synology server using SMB protocolLately, I & my teammates have been having an issue where Indesign is dropping its links to the server. Can’t save the file either. Close out of ID file and the server partitions are still mounted and I can navigate them. However, cannot work off the server. ID will open the file again, but links are missing. Closing the file does not remove the ID lock file either. Have to manually eject the partitions and remount the drive. Our IT team (outsourced) tends to be PC people and think that Adobe apps can be overly sensitive to network conditions. We’re on a very fast server & switch. They think moving back to AFP protocol may help. Anyone have experience with this issue? Please don’t say work locally. In 2026 that’s possibly the worst thing anyone can say. :D 

Hello, even though I completely uninstalled InDesign (including all old versions) and then reinstalled it, I’m still experiencing the same bug: when I open another InDesign document, suddenly the Command-Z shortcut stops working. I'm using the latest version of InDesign and macOS Sequoia — though this issue has been happening for years across different versions of InDesign and macOS. Can anyone help? It’s incredibly frustrating and such a waste of time.

Windows 10, ID ver. 20.4. I made an unpleasant discovery today. I’m working with a client who laid out a book in InDesign but didn’t feel like she could make the conversion to ePub. There are about 85 photographs in the book. I asked her to insert Alt Text for each of these in Bridge under IPTC Core/Alt Text (Accessibility). I checked each image under Object/Object Export Options in ID, and the Alt Text was there, under "From XMP:Alt Text (Accessibility)". So InDesign is picking up the tags. But when I exported the file to ePub and happened to check the html, I see that all the alt fields for these images are empty (alt=””). The images she worked on are the ones linked in InDesign, so it’s not that she was working on the wrong folder of images. She didn’t have an object style applied to the images and I thought that might be a factor. But when I created an object style, specified Alt Text Source as “From XMP: Alt Text (Accessibility)”, applied that to one of the photos, the object styl

A few weeks ago, my copy of InDesign’s tool features quit working with no clear indicator as to why. Proportional resizing of frames and text boxes no longer work, with or without touching the shortcut keys and their options. Holding option to duplicate objects no longer works, holding shift to draw straight and diagonal lines or gradients no longer works, as well as a couple other option/shift tool features I can’t think of at the current moment. I have tried resetting my preferences and deleting all of the files I can find on my Mac under Library and such, which did let this work for about a week. However, it is back to doing the same thing again.I’m running the latest MacOS and Adobe Creative Cloud software versions. 2023 iMac M3.
