Hi @tbledsoe , I would export the page the following way:     Standard: None Compatibility: Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) Output > Color > Color Conversion: Convert to Destination Destination: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 Profile Inclusion Policy: Include Destination Profile [ x ] Simulate Overprint   Important: If you are using any spot colors in your document, do NOT convert any spot colors to CMYK with the Ink Manager. Leave them visible as spot colors in the Ink Manager. Note: The settings above do not match settings that are neccessary for CMYK printing. Do that only for PDFs that should be viewed in browsers and other PDF viewer apps that are not Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader for macOS and Windows.   Speculation: A white rectangle is set to "overprint" inside your PDF.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...

Megan said: "… I cannot use text box anchoring. It is not at all practle for my needs. The icons needs to be inline with the product title, and move accordinally if the text changes."   Hi Megan, it's also possible that anchored objects, not inline anchored ones, will move with the text. All depends on their anchoring settings. See this example from my German InDesign where the x-position is set relative to the anchor in the text, not to the text frame's left edge (default):     Sample document is attached to my reply.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...

Hi @OsakaWebbie , will the text align to the bottom of the text frame if you move the text frame to the pasteboard? If not check the inset values of the text frame. Set them to 0 for the bottom. Also check if there are items on the page or applied parent page with text wrap enabled like it seems to be the case with the image inside the circle .   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...

This bug is still not fixed.

@jethika27020132be9l said: "… Because in our case, if we explicitly call recompose() on each .indd file in the book before exporting, the missing images show up as expected in the final PDF. This suggests the UI might be triggering something internally that we need to replicate via script. Would love any insights on whether that's expected behavior or something specific to book automation."   Hm. The question is if your workflow with your custom plugin that handles image rendering requires a recompose() before the export to PDF. I would test a sample that does not require the custom plugin first to see if the plugin is a factor.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ... View more

Hi @sndrmllr , well, yes, it's a known bug with InDesign. What's your exact version of InDesign and your operating system?   The issue was certainly discussed here in the forum some years ago.   At first glance it seems to be the bug described in the thread I linked to below; maybe there is the same root cause:   Text in tables not aligned after exporting to PDF Laubender, Apr 28, 2025 https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/text-in-tables-not-aligned-after-exporting-to-pdf/m-p/15293336#M622507   But your document is showing no InDesign table but more a "tabular" object, a text frame with 13 columns. The more columns, the more paragraphs are running through the text frame's columns, I think, the more the bug is visible. Also for this kind of object the bug in PDF Export is known. I have to go back some years perhaps to find the relevant thread here in the InDesign forum. Ah, finally found the one from November 2021:   Problems with PDF Export in Indesign maehrchen, Nov 05, 2021 https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/problems-with-pdf-export-in-indesign/m-p/12501088#M451973   See my test files still available on Dropbox: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/problems-with-pdf-export-in-indesign/m-p/12501527#M452019   Discussed in English: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/problems-with-pdf-export-in-indesign/m-p/12501851#M452043   And indeed, the solution (the workaround) was to export to PDF with the option "Tagged Text" enabled.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...

Hi @sidneydavenport , could it be that the document contains a customized object style where the position of the frame is defined? And if this is the case this custom object style is defined as the default one?   Just like this in my German InDesign where position is defined. Drawing out a new text frame under these conditions always will create one 20 mm and 10 mm away from the page edges:     As soon as this object style is not the default anymore I can draw out text frames as I'm used to it without any restrictions on position. The [T] icon is not positioned at the right of the style's name anymore. If this is the case with a custom object style in your document, just drag the icon to the object style for text frames in brackets like below:   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...

Hallo @natalia_4191 , meine Wahl wäre es mit Dropbox zu arbeiten. Alle Dateien, die zum Projekt gehören liegen in einem Verzeichnis, dem Projektverzeichnis auf der Dropbox, das für alle Parteien freigegeben und zugänglich ist. Die Abbildungen liegen in einem Unterverzeichnis mit Namen Links, die benötigten Schriften, sofern es Schriftdateien sind, in einem Unterverzeichnis Document fonts. Die InDesign-Datei direkt im Projektverzeichnis.   Es ist darauf zu achten, dass beide Parteien die InDesign-Datei nicht gleichzeitig geöffnet haben, um diese zu bearbeiten. Da sollte man sich absprechen. Was noch wichtig ist: NIEMALS Dateien und Verzeichnisse als "Nur Online" spezifizieren, denn sonst kann es Ärger mit geöffneten Dateien in InDesign und anderen Programmen geben.   Gruss, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...

Hi Kasyan ( @Kasyan Servetsky ), while testing reinitLink() I came accross a big surprise (at least for me). When working on the itemLink of one single instance of a placed image and used reinitLink() on this one instance ALSO all other placed instances will change. Documented in this thread initally from 2019:   Exploring Link.relink() function in Javascript and COM Michael_Rosenstein, Dec 13, 2019 https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/exploring-link-relink-function-in-javascript-and-com/td-p/10799764   See my reply from today: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/exploring-link-relink-function-in-javascript-and-com/m-p/15342037#M626251   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...

Hi @Michael_Rosenstein , I'm also testing the then ( InDesign 2018 ) new experimental method itemLink.reinitLink( linkResourceURI ) . With InDesign 2025 in DOM documentation it's still mentioned as "experimental": https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#Link.html#d1e301019__d1e301757   To my surprise there is a perhaps not documented feature ( or bug ) with reinitLink() .   If one graphic is placed more than one time, my tests are showing that if I use reinitLink() on one single instance of the graphic's itemLink the itemLink.linkResourceURI value for ALL OTHER INSTANCES in the document will change as well.   In my test case I had 2 pairs of images placed. One pair of images share images with the same name but with different contents.   In one of the two pairs I wanted to "assign" a new linkResourceURI with reinitLink(), the one of the other image's linkResourceURI. To test if the image will change status. So it did. From NORMAL to OUT_OF_DATE as expected.   What was not expected by me was that the corresponding image in the other pair of images changed as well to OUT_OF_DATE with a new linkResourceURI. That behavor bears some dangers when using reinitLink() to graphics and images that are placed more than one time in a document.   Details from my German InDesign 2025:   Running this code on my selection of images: var linkResourceURI1 = app.selection[0].allGraphics[0].itemLink.linkResourceURI; var linkResourceURI2 = app.selection[1].allGraphics[0].itemLink.linkResourceURI; app.selection[0].allGraphics[0].itemLink.reinitLink( linkResourceURI2 );   Result where also the other instance of the image has changed, not only the selected one:     Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...

@leo.r said: "The current version of InDesign is supported on Monterey. …"   Well yes. I'm on macOS Monterey v12.7.6 and I have installed and running InDesign 2024 v19.5 and InDesign 2025 v20.3. And I do agree, one reason could be that the amount of your RAM is not sufficient to run InDesign 2024 or 2025.   Nevertheless, the Creative Cloud Desktop App should show the 2024 and 2025 versions of InDesign. However, it will not show versions below 2024.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ... View more

@Peter Spier said: "… Keep Option set to Start on next Odd Page."   Hi Peter, well, that could be indeed the cause.

@M. Haam said: "… I have a 70 page document that needs page numbers and using the parent pages isn't an option - unless I create the layers in parents and then rebuild all the pages to use the parent."   Well, if one single parent page is applied throughout all document pages you have to do that 2 steps only once. Go to the parent page, [1] add a new layer at the top of the stack of layers and [2] add your element you want to see on all pages on that layer. This layer should be reserved for elements on parent pages that you like to see on the top of all other elements on the document pages.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...

Hi @Ken25780576sejp , save the code to an unformatted text-only file with suffix *.jsx on your desktop. Back to InDesign: Open the Scripts panel in InDesign. Select the User folder inside the Scripts panel. There is a command at the panel that can show the selected folder of the Scripts panel in the Mac Finder or in the Windows Explorer.   Back to your desktop: Copy the script file to the Scripts Panel folder in Mac Finder or Windows Explorer. Back to InDesign the script file's name should be available in the User folder of the Scripts panel.   To execute the code of this script file set your text cursor inside the paragraph or select one or some characters in the paragraph and double-click the script file's name in the User folder of InDesign's Scripts panel.   Regards, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert ) ...
