Hi @Tuire:   This really should be addressed in InDesign. I'm going to move your post to the InDesign forumn, and want to share a link from one of our InDesign accessibility Experts, @Bevi_Chagnon___PubCom_com. She wrote the article and may be available to answer follow up questions. Please note that the information is embedded in the .indd/.indl files she has included for download. If you are not an InDesign user, I would direct the person that created the InDesign document to pick up from here.   ~Barb ... View more

Auto-numbers was my first thought, Peter, but it looks like the TOC has the text entry, a tab, a number, a second tab, the extraneous number and then the ¶.   Auto-numbers would be at the beginning, right? Honestly, I'm still baffled—just hoping the screen shots will clarify the situation. I'm thinking section number or hidden text.     ~Barb ... View more

Hi @lf_877:   That was harder than I expected. 😅   You'll need to use the layers panel because ungrouping/regrouping will remove the button properties:     A lot of InDesign users (including advanced users) don't use Layers. If that's you, read up on them first and then come back and watch the demo, again.   ~Barb ... View more

Hi @Ciara31274891gx7g :   A table of contents pulls in the exact content from the paragraph style you reference, along with the page number.   Can you please share a screen shot that contains the first entry: Chapter 1 Learning Objectives with Type > Show Hidden Characters enabled and the Pages panel visible. And to be proactive to try to cut down the time it takes to solve this, a second screen shot with your cursor in the same paragraph but in Story Editor view (Edit > Edit in Story Editor).   ~Barb ...

If the problem is on your end, you can:  Go to Help > Check for updates to make sure you are all patched up. (Reboot computer if Acrobat updates.) On Windows, try to repair the installation from the Help menu. If it still doesn't work, you can remove the application using the Acrobat cleaner tool https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html , reboot the computer and reinstall the application using the direct link https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-downloads.html.   If those steps don't help, it points to corruption in the PDF file.    ~Barb ...

Hi @GCFCU Marketing:   I see you responded to the OS and version number further up thread and I missed it. Sorry about that.   My demos were on 20.1 but macOS, not Windows. Since I couldn't recreate it it is either a Windows-specific bug, or corrupt preferences. If preferences, see https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-indesign-rebuilding-preferences-cache/. And to see if it is a bug, you might download v19.5.1 to see if it happens there.   If you decide it is a 20.1 bug, you can report it here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/   ~Barb   ~Barb ...

Hi @liudmila_mila:   Mac or Windows? What version? What application would you like the HEIC file to open on your computer? And when I drag a photo out of Photos to my desktop (macOS Sonoma 14.7.1), it converts to a jpeg. So again, what is your exact process, getting the file from your iPhone to your computer? And I assume you are double-clicking the file and that's what initiates Adobe Reader?    Details help us help you faster.    ~Barb ... View more

Hi @Mikexx:   It's important to stay up to date with the patches for security reasons. That said, a non-functioning version isn't an option. See if any of these tips help:   Go to Help > Check for updates to make sure you are all patched up. (Reboot computer if Acrobat updates.) If you are on Windows (not macOS) try to repair the installation from the Help menu. If it still doesn't work, please remove the application using the Acrobat cleaner tool https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html , reboot the computer and reinstall the application using the direct link https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-downloads.html.   ~Barb ...

Hi @k15A7:   Is it wrong to admit that the part about your grandson made me laugh?    But seriously, I'd recommend your daughter reach out to us directly and list her specific issues. We can't troubleshoot her issues through you (or your grandson, yet), but it's possible we can offer solutions for her (and her colleague's) issues. However, we can't help if we don't know what they are.    And if you have issues opening up PDFs in Acrobat that open in Edge, please come back and share the details and screen shots. The user-to-user forums are staffed by volunteeers who are experts in their field and vetted by Adobe to represent them here (look for the words Community Expert under our names, and the purple/white star on our avatar). While we can't fix software issues, we are daily users and deal with the same things all users deal with. We often have workflow suggestions and tips that can ease the pain of working with any Adobe software application.   ~Barb ... View more

Hi @GCFCU Marketing:   What version of InDesign are you using? I couldn't replicate the issue with InDesign 20.1 (see first half of the video below).   Also, you are taking additional steps that you don't need (selecting Custom)—you could just add the new name and select the size (second half of video). Note that the portrait names are truncated but the full alternative layout names are visible at the top of the Pages pane, and by hovering, as previously mentioned.   I wonder if streamlining the process will eliminate the issue? Or updating, if you are behind on a patch? Both?     As a heads up,  wehave file size limitations here. I'm guessing your MP4 was compressed—I could see the big picture, but it was tough to see the details. As you can see, all the words are fuzzy so it's a bit tough to follow, and it's possible I have misunderstood your question a second time. If so, my apologies in advance. Please just come back and clarify.   ~Barb   ... View more

Hi @Dalysuzin:   I'm not sure about the others on this thread, but @Dave Creamer of IDEAS and I both still work as InDesign trainers and we both have a lot of experience in long document publishing. If you want hire someone, you can reach out to either of us. However, it appears you are still moving forward with the free help from the community, so maybe put that info in your back pocket until we reach a point where we can't help via message exchange.    Dave's last message clearly details the next step: tell InDesign to continue each chapter on the next odd page, and update the book. Once you do that, you are ready to export to Adobe PDF (Print) as per @Peter Spier and you should be back on track.    ~Barb ... View more

I wish Adobe would make that the font isn't selected by default in paragraph style settings like character style.   I hear you, but this is how all page layout applications work:   A paragraph style is used to define an entire paragraph, and a character style is used to differentiate words that need to look different from the rest of the text within that paragraph.   Whether we time-travel back to the early mid-late 80s and return to working in PageMaker or Ventura Publisher, or leap forward again to modern-day InDesign and FrameMaker, paragraph styles are used to define all aspects of each type of paragraph (title, subtitles, body copy, bullets, footnotes, etc) and then we may add character styles for the words that need to be emphasized or differentiated (perhaps a font or style or color change) within the paragraph. I am never one to suggest using overrides, but if you have that many titles and don't want to uses styles then, that's my recommendation.   Now if you think this is something that others would benefit from, you can log a feature request at https://indesign.uservoice.com/ . The more votes a feature request gets, the more attention it will draw from the InDesign engineering team. Please note that the community forums are geared towards users (like those of us addressing your question) helping other users (like you) figure out how to work within the bounds of the existing application. Like you, we don't work for Adobe and we can't re-engineer the software. We can offer explanations and workflow tips but that's about it.   ~Barb ... View more

Me too.   InDesign supports Photoshop's clipping masks but they are used for text wrap and transparency. Your teacher is detailing a Photoshop workflow:     This is how to get a similar result in InDesign, but no clipping masks:     ~Barb ... View more

Hi @raldrald:   A paragraph style will define all attributes of a paragraph, so no, a paragraph style cannot lack a Font Family designation.   See if this visual explanation is helpful:   The vertical alignment is controlled by the Object Style—in my demo, that's all it is doing. The font/size/style/horizontal alignment is controlled by the paragraph style. Personally, I'd go with @Dave Creamer of IDEAS 's approach—one paragraph style per frame. Alternatives—neither considered a best practice but if you have a bazillion of these, maybe it is best for you—is add overrides or assign a full-paragraph character style. (Since you seem averse to multiple styles, I'd say go with the font overrides.)     Even after any of the font modifications, the object style still controls the frame-level commands like vertical justification and the paragraph style still controls everything except for the Font Family:     ~Barb   ...

I'm going to add one thing to @Eugene Tyson's correct answer—and this is covered in the link he provided—it's not immediately clear that there are four separate elements you can change:   The character style To or through How many you need to match Presets for where the nested style ends, or as in Eugene's demo, you can add any character you like     When I teach nested styles, I see my students struggle with the interface, until they look at all four options and try a few options and then the light blub goes off. This is such a powerful feature in InDesign.    ~Barb ... View more

Hi @balanced_Rhapsody5C1E:   Have you restarted Acrobat?   When you close the AI Assistant toolbar, it hides it for this session only.

HI @DigitalChickster:   You can run both Acrobat and Adobe Reader on the same computer—I always keep both installed.    Your Creative Cloud license allows you two installations per license. To be clear, there are meant to both be used by you and in theory, not at the same time. But your licence agreeement allows  you to reinstall Acrobat on the old computer while keeping it in place on the new computer, without any issues. I would start there and then come back to install Adobe Reader from this link: https://get.adobe.com/reader/.   As for the speed issue, try restarting your computer to see if that makes a difference. And again, you can definitely be signed into both of the Creative Cloud Desktop Apps.   ~Barb ... View more

Hi @GCFCU Marketing:   What's weird about the Alternate Layout columns is that are they dependent on the width of the page thumbnail, and we cannot drag them left or right to make the column wider or narrower. We can move the columns, but we cannot adjust the width of the columns. If you hover, however, it will give you the full name.   ~Barb   ... View more
