How to Save an InDesign File for Older Versions (IDML) Did you know? InDesign files aren't backward compatible by default - a .indd file saved in InDesign 2024 simply won't open in InDesign CC 2019. But there's a simple workaround: export as IDML. What is IDML?IDML (InDesign Markup Language) is an open, XML-based file format that acts as a universal bridge between InDesign versions. Any version of InDesign from CS4 onwards can open an IDML file - making it the go-to format when collaborating with colleagues or clients on older software.But backward compatibility is only half the story. IDML is also one of the most reliable ways to recover a corrupted InDesign file. Because IDML is XML-based rather than binary, exporting a damaged .indd to IDML and then reopening it often strips out the corruption that's causing crashes, freezes, or "cannot be opened" errors - even when other recovery methods fail. Many InDesign users keep this trick in their back pocket specifically for emergencies, no
HiEach time I import an image into Indesign, the image loads okay, but I get the blue swirling ‘loading’ icon that never stops. I can save my document, and the menus still work but I can’t work on the actual page, and the only way I can clear it it to Force quit Indesign using Task Manager. This started about 2 weeks ago, and was fine before and I haven’t made any changes to my PC. I thought maybe it started after an update of Indesign, so I tried reverting to an older version, but still had the same problem.I have tried re-installing Indesign. (version21.3) I use Windows 11.I really hope you can help please?Thanks Chris
I was working on a document in Adobe InDesign 2026, and suddenly, black boxes and other organic shapes started to appear on the screen. They seem to be embedded in the creative - meaning, they move with the screen, like a normal object would, but there's no trace of the editable object on the live page nor on the master. I can't remove it, and I don't know where it came from.

(Usually, I double click on that small square to shrink it.Now I want to implement it with code.)The framework is suitable for the content (sel [i]. fit (FitOptions. FAME-TO-CONNECT); )It seems to have no effect on width.I guess this involves two steps:Firstly, set the text frame to automatically adjust to: height and width, without line breaks.Secondly, set the text frame to automatically adjust to 'none'.I don't know, is this safe?or , Is there still a better idea?
Hi everyone. I am looking for a way to make a keyboard shortcut to “Break link to paragraph style”. I have tried to do it the usual way, but when I use the new shortcut, it changes (its not kept as it is). Does anyone have a solution for this?
Hi @m1b Long time no see, I miss you very much.The original post cannot be replied toToday I came across several strange pictures, some of which had their captions changed to 'Default' after using this script.Some of them are errors below the prompt. I guess they are not recognizing the image, or the image is outside the layout, or there are locked or hidden images?Also, can we avoid grouping images and captions together? Because this feature is actually not practical.

Hi everyone,I'm formatting a document in InDesign and I'm trying to create a hanging indent for numbered sections.For example, I have this section:17. Amalgamation or transfer of assets and liabilities or division of multi-State co-operative societiesAt the moment, when the text wraps, I get:17. Amalgamation or transfer of assets and liabilities or division of multi-State co-operative societiesWhat I want is for the “o” in “operative” to start directly underneath the “A” in “Amalgamation”, like this:17. Amalgamation or transfer of assets and liabilities or division of multi-State co- operative societiesMy current Paragraph settings are:Left Indent: 3p0 First Line Indent: 0p0I have also attached a screenshot showing my Paragraph panel.Could someone please explain what setting I need to change to make the wrapped line start exactly at exactly below of “Amalgamation”?I'm not trying to change the font or spacing between the words — I only want the wrapped line to align with the first

Depois que atualizei o INDD para a versão mais recente o desfazer parou de funcionar propriamenteSe voce fizer 10 ações ele some com as primeiras na aba historico e ficam só as 4 ultimas mais ou menos, só da para desfazer 4 açõesJa apaguei cache, remontei o cache, reinstalei e nada resolveuEu tenho 32 de ram, então não deve ser por causa de pouca memoria, mesmo porque até então funcionava muito bemAlguem tem alguma luz? Obrigado!
For the past few months, I’ve been able to work around this issue, but it has now reached a point where I can’t. When exporting PNG files in Adobe InDesign, the drop shadows shift position during export. The shadows appear correctly within InDesign, but once the PNG is exported, the shadows are visibly displaced from their original placement. I am currently using Adobe InDesign version 21.3.Here’s a longer forum:This forum has been marked as “answered” but it is only suggested workarounds from the community.Here’s an example:Inside Indesign, the shadows are where they’re supposed to be.Flattened .png files placed as assets in Animate. The shadows moved.I’ve gone back into InDesign multiple times to correct the shadow placement and re-export the files, but the shadows continue to export incorrectly, which has become a major issue in my workflow.I’ve been dealing with this bug daily for months, often having to resize assets in InDesign just to temporarily work around the problem. I’m ho
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. Anyone else having this issue? MacBook Pro 2023 M2 Max 32 GB Sequoia 15.0.1 <Title renamed by MOD>
When i open InDesign the app crashes. I’m unable to even open the app. I have re-installed the app, which didn’t solve the issue. I also tried installing other update versions, which also didn’t solve the issue. All my other Creative Cloud apps are up to date. What to do now?
Hi Adobe Team,As someone with years of experience using Photoshop and Illustrator, I find it frustrating that InDesign lacks certain standard mouse features found in these programs. This inconsistency creates unnecessary friction and makes the workflow less intuitive.Zooming with the Scroll Wheel: In InDesign, zooming requires holding the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) key while scrolling. This extra step is not required in other Adobe programs and adds an unnecessary layer to memorization and workflow. Direct zooming with the scroll wheel would align InDesign with industry standards and significantly improve usability.Middle Mouse Button for the Hand Tool: Many design programs allow users to pan by clicking and holding the middle mouse button (scroll wheel). In InDesign, this functionality is missing, forcing reliance on the Spacebar. Adding support for the middle mouse button to pan would make navigation faster and more intuitive.These features are essential for a seamless user experi
I need to insert pages into the middle of a document that has continuous text flow between pages.Each of the new pages has one text frame. I have connected those two pages together. But I can find no way to connect preceding pages to the input of the first new page’s frame, and the output of the last new page’s frame to the input of the subsequent page.Any attempt to link the frames with the input or output handles creates a new text frame on the clicked-on page. I found that to connect the two new pages I had to Shift-click each one’s text frame so they were both selected; but this is impossible with the preceding or subsequent pages.Any insights appreciated!The two pages in the middle need to be inserted into the flow.
Currently having an issue with my undo/history function. I seem to only be able to go back 2 or 3 commands before the entire history disappears. pls help!
I installed the latest update to version 21, and InDesign won't launch. It doesn't give any errors, but it won't start. It doesn't do anything at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. Version 20 works perfectly, even the beta version 20.6. I tried reinstalling it by deleting the preferences, but that didn't work. I tried reinstalling the Creative app and reinstalling InDesign, but that didn't work.Bridge does the same thing, but it gives me error OXC0000142. InDesign, on the other hand, doesn't have any errors. Old Bridge works, but the beta version doesn't I have windows 11 last updatedWhat can I do?Thanks a lotNicola
I have chosen some regular text, and I want to get the horizontalOffset of the first character after the longest character ':'.The horizontal offset of the word I circled in the picture.May I ask how to write the code? Thank you very much.
I made a document on Apple pages and I want to transfer it to indesign. I want the background and everything that was in pages into indesign like copy and paste. And I wanna edit the text and the images and elements. If there is a zero cost solution pls let me know thank you
I am having a problem with a file I received from another designer. Specifically, she used the Barlow font family from Adobe Fonts for some of the text treatments, however, even when I activate all the available font families she linked to on Adobe Fonts, some of the font variations are being found but two of the font variations are not being found. See below image. Given that these fonts should be the same ones from Adobe Fonts, how do I resolve the issue? Is it possible that this issue is related to the operating system (I am on a Windows PC)?
