Hi @John Beeckaert , yes, there are several ways and options to save an EPS file from e.g. Illustrator or PhotoShop. What's interesting according to the bug we see here is the kind of preview that can, but must not embedded to the EPS file. It could be a TIFF preview for example.   From German Illustrator 2024: "Vorschauformat" ( preview format ) is TIFF (8-Bit-Color). Could be also TIFF (1-Bit) or "None".     When it comes to PhotoShop other options are also possible with encoding the EPS file:   So one workaround could be to open the original AI file and save the EPS without any preview. InDesign will do one if you prompt it when placing the EPS andyou  have the import options enabled:   So you could switch from "Use TIFF preview" that is default to "Render PostScript" (the second option). Have to test that tomorrow when I'm in the office …   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert )   ... View more

@John Beeckaert said: " 'TIFF file could not be read' … or something like that. "   Hi together, I see the same issue with placed EPS graphics. The previews of affected placed graphics are grayed-out on a page in Normal viewing mode. I assume only a specific kind of EPS is affected. Cannot test now, will come back tomorrow, to fill in the details.   Assumption: EPS files with TIFF image headers  for preview are the ones that will not work.   InDesign 2024 version 19.5.2 on macOS. The problem is not visible with InDesign 2024 version 19.5.1.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ... View more

Hi @Charlie329572228uvx , see my reply here from September 2023: InDesign Stuck in "Touch" Workspace on First Launch, Unable to Click or Use Shortcuts https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-stuck-in-quot-touch-quot-workspace-on-first-launch-unable-to-click-or-use-shortcuts/m-p/14070181#M541310   So you quit InDesign by using the Task Manager? And you tried to start-up InDesign a second and a third time without being able to end the tutorial or change the workspace to something else? Open a document does not work in this state you see InDesign after start-up?   Hm. I would try to change the resolution of your screen in the system to more pixels. Maybe then you could reach out for a different workspace or you could end the tutorial to set different prefernces within InDesign.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ... View more

Hi Rudi, I see the same behavior like you with your SVG file. What's unclear to me is how the parameters were with the export from Adobe Illustrator. In the header information of your SVG file it says: <!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 28.6.0, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 1.2.0 Build 709) --> and: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 14.01 14.01">   The latest version of Illustrator 2024 on macOS is 28.7.4. When I open your SVG file in that version it shows like that:   There are several exports to SVG possible with Illustrator. With different capabilities and settings. Could you provide the original* Adobe Illustrator file? I'd like to test some things… ( *Not the one where you opened your SVG file in Illustrator and saved it as *.ai file but the original one before the export to SVG.)   I'm asking this because if I change the artboard in Illustrator so that it is exactly the size and position of the artwork I can save a SVG file out of Illustrator that will place correctly with InDesign.   Under Save As in Illustrator I used the save as options with SVG this way where I disabled "Use artboard": The following dialog below. Note that I disabled "Responsive" as option. The header of that SVG file looks differnt compared to the SVG file you provided:   Placing this one ( the one of the two on the right ) in InDesign now gave the right result:       Thanks, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...

But basically we are good with PlainText, because every of the four kinds of QR codes listed additionally can be done with PlainText.   For all who like to vote:   [Scripting] Edit QR Code It would be good if we could read the contents of an Indesign-generated QR Code via script. @m1b, January 22, 2025 · https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/49362638--scripting-edit-qr-code   Thanks, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...

Hi @Angela PS Chan , I would suggest that you open a new thread with your issue. Best provide a sample InDesign document where you see the issue.   Could well be that your problem has nothing to do with the OP's one, @Shlomit Heymann .

Hi @Lewis_2688 , if you mean the scenario where you want to delete all paragraphs of your selection of text test the script code below. Could be one single paragraph when you selected one insertion point or a couple of characters in one paragraph. Could be a couple of paragraphs when your selection of characters exceeds the range of one paragraph at the same time.   The following script code is written in ExtendScript (JavaScript) : try{ app.selection[0].paragraphs.everyItem().remove() }catch(e){}; You can attach a keyboard shortcut to every script file that is showing up in the Scripts panel of InDesign.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert )  ...

Hi @Mateomono , a csf file contains everything. An ICC color profile file PLUS all other options you can save with e.g. PhotoShop when you set up a new condition how color should be managed.

Hi @Mateomono , the printer wants a PSO Coated V3 profile. And NOT an uncoated one.   Did the printer provide a *.csf file? That should contain everything you need to get this job done correctly.

Hi @Robert at ID-Tasker , that's the downside. Export to / import of IDML will not create a document with more than 10 pages per spread.

Hi @Robert at ID-Tasker , to run this script successfully you need to start with a document with a second spread with one different sized page.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ... View more

Hi @e ch n , in an ordinary InDesign spread you can have up to 10 pages you can move with the Page tool like you want. You can even overlap pages. Well, if I get you right, you need one single spread with 20 pages. That's not doable. Not with a current version of InDesign.   It was possible, but only with some scripting tricks and with a very old version of InDesign about 13 years ago. Version 7.5 when I recall that right… So, if you find someone with a running version of InDesign 7.5 ( CS 5.5 ) you can start out with the following setup of a document (here depicted from InDesign 2025) where there are two spreads with differntly sized pages like that:     When with InDesign CS 5.5 you will be able to run the script code below without any error. It will add a number of pages in the first spread regradless of the limit of 10 pages per spread.     var d=app.documents[0]; var numberOfPagesToAddInFirstSpread = 19; var firstPage = d.pages[0]; for(var n=0; n<numberOfPagesToAddInFirstSpread; n++) { var lastPage = d.pages[-1]; try{ lastPage.duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER,firstPage); }catch(e){}; };   So with the document above and the code above you will end up with 20 pages in the first spread. 20 pages you can arrange horizontally and vertically like you want with the Page tool.   Unfortunately I cannot provide a document with 20 pages in one spread but I have access with 16 pages in one spread to proof my point. See my attached InDesign document that was initially set up with InDesign CS 5.5 and now was opened and saved with InDesign 2025: 16Added-PagesRearranged_INDD-2025.indd   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...

@oliverb13354066 said: ".. i also tried to install different versions of Adobe Source Sans Pro (Adobe Cloud Font/older Google Fonts), same issue with either font version."   Hi Oliver, you have to find the exact version(s) of the fonts that were used when the layout was edited the last time. If the versions are not available anymore you have to adjust your current text composition.   Was the document created and edited by another person? Then ask for the used font files. In case of downloadable font files with Adobe Source Sans Pro that would be no license problem. Don't mix fonts of Adobe Source Sans Pro from Adobe Fonts with font files on your machine. In case it was a previous version of Adobe Source Sans Pro from the Adobe Fonts online repository, and Adobe changed the ascent, I see no chance to revert to the older version.   Best strategy for Adobe Source Sans Pro: [1] Use font files you can download to your machine and stay with exactly the same font files throughout the production process for this project now and in the future. [2] Kick out (deactivate) font files from Adobe Fonts because they will probably change in the future.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ... View more

Hi @yves.barbion , if you can see the language layers in InDesign with a placed Illustrator file one can handle the visibility of the layers in all placed Illustrator files using ExtendScript. The task is not that easy, because of a long-standing bug with InDesign where changing the layer's view of placed Illustrator, PDF files or InDesign pages will generate new IDs on the placed Illustrator files or PDFs.   For a working script see into:   Layer Visibility Overrides for all Instances of a linked file crazyPanda, Jul 23, 2019 https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/layer-visibility-overrides-for-all-instances-of-a-linked-file/m-p/10554044#M149203   For script writers and all interested see also: Place specific pdf layer into indesign with javascript Yuliascript, Jun 18, 2018 https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/place-specific-pdf-layer-into-indesign-with-javascript/td-p/9914262   Important note: You can see only main layers in your placed Illustrator files on InDesign pages and not Illustrator's sub layers.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...
