Hi Davide, to make items on a page aligned to bleed, also graphic frames that contain images, you have to use anchored frames to text frames. Hard to explain, easy to do. See my attached IDML file:   AnchoredFrameAtSpine.idml   You could add a page before the second page of the document and the anchored frame's position will be right according to the spine and bleed when the page with the frame will move on in the document. Check the anchoring options of the empty graphic frame.   From my German InDesign:   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ... View more

Hi @SuzzyFlamingo , I would ask the script writers to provide you with a version of a script that will write something like a log file that monitors the script and helps to find the cause of the crashes. Hm. In case the script let InDesign "hang" so you have to terminate InDesign with the Task Manager I would try to create a new User on your machine and run InDesign and the script through the new user account.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...

Hi @dublove , opened your sample InDesign document and did some tests. Yes, I see the same issue when unmerging the cell that reads "2018".   So why does this happen? Explanation: in the Character Styles panel the character style "aa" is selected.   Screenshot after I opened your document, navigated to page 2 and opened the Character Style panel:   Solution: If you select the "None" style in the Character Styles panel and, as a second step, unmerge the cell, all is working as expected.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...

@Lucas& said: "… When trying to open any PDF, InDesign won't do anything. …"   Hi @Lucas& , what is your localized version of InDesign (Beta) ?   Currently I'm also testing InDesign (Beta) 2025 v20.4.0.59 and PDF conversion with mixed results.   Tried one PDF with PDF Producer "Microsoft: Print to PDF", PDF Version: 1.7 (Acrobat 8.x), 110 pages, on our server to open. No other document was open at that point.   Result: InDesign tried to convert the PDF and finally crashed.   After restarting InDesign it opened TWO InDesign documents recovered from crash and the conversion process. One with one part of the PDF. Another one with another part of the PDF. Some parts of the PDF are missing all in all.   And before someone asks: Sorry, I cannot share the PDF or the resulting InDesign documents of the conversion process.   Well, I repeated the conversion process. This time with the PDF to open from my Desktop. The conversion process was initialised and started a good part, about 10% to 15% of the conversion process took place, but in the end InDesign (Beta) crashed again. With the exact same results as before.   So I do not think, that Server vs Desktop makes a difference.   Machine details: MacBook Pro (16", 2021), macOS 12.7.6, 16 GByte RAM, Chip Apple M1 Pro. About 60 GByte free internal disk space at that time.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ... View more

Hi @dublove , as Mark already mentioned, you could write your own alert dialog with e.g. ScriptUI; make it even scrollable when a lot of text should be readable. Search for scrollable alert for InDesign on the web*. However, you'll not be able to center paragraphs, it's just left aligned text in one particular text size and no formatting like Bold, Italic or Bold-Italic or a different text color ( once, about 13 years back, formatting of text in ScriptUI was possible; with the upcomming of InDesign CC (after CS6) ScriptUI broke in a lot of ways and was never fixed. ) .   * Found sample code within a few seconds:   Scrollable alert Marijan Tompa (tomaxxi) July 28, 2010 https://indisnip.wordpress.com/2010/07/28/scrollable-alert/   To give you two sample screenshots:     Some text selected in the dialog that could be copied/pasted through the clipboard:     For ScriptUI see also Peter Kahrel's documentation: ScriptUI for dummies Peter Kahrel https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/scriptui.html   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...

Hi @Stefanie Langwerden , good question. I would aim for about 150 ppi to 200 ppi effective resolution. As always, it also depends on the contents of the images. Technical ones with sharp contrasts, aim for higher resolution.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ... View more
