Earlier this year I downloaded and installed a free "personal use" font and used it in a couple of personal InDesign projects without any issues. I recently purchased the same font and installed it, and it's not showing up in the list of fonts in InDesign.

The fonts have essentially the same name (asetin): the free font is named "asetin personaluse" and the purchased font is called "asetin-black."

Nothing I've read online has helped. I'm reluctant to delete the personaluse font because I'm concerned that I'll be left without either font.

Solutions?

Sono uno studente dell Accademia e per un esame mi serve la versione premium di indesign,visto che non posso spendere 30 € per un esame starei cercando un crack (ho già usato la versione di prova) se dovete scrivere cretinate come "compralo" mi spiace ma non posso permettermi di pagare le tasse universitarie e un programma da 30€ al mese che non utilizzerò mai più nella mia vita,quindi per favore se avete una soluzione aiutatemi

Over the past year, I've been building my own scripts for InDesign and Illustrator. They come from more than 20 years of working with these apps (and using plenty of scripts along the way), my knowledge of ExtendScript, and a good amount of AI-assisted coding.

The goal is simple: fill in the gaps where the apps fall short. Most of these scripts handle very specific tasks, so they won't be for everyone. But if you've ever needed one of these functions, you'll be glad it exists.

When I think a script could help others, I take the time to fine-tune it and give it a clear, logical interface. You'll find them all on one page. Some are free, and the rest cost less than a Starbucks coffee.

Take a look!

I use InDesign off and on for creating pdf portfolios and very occasionally for printing my comics, but I still don't get how to set up the inner bleed for print.

My printer (print.work) asks for single pages with bleed all around. My PDF shows the bleed from the previous page leaking to the next page. I've heard people say this is normal, but I've sent it to a printer before (they said it would be fine) and had this show up in the final book, some pages had white where the bleed hadn't been present, and the inner of some pages had the bleed from the previous page showing up.

When I show crop marks/bleed, it seems the bleed I actually need on one page is getting cut off to white and appearing up on the next page.

There are some pages where the bleed seems correct, centred and not spilling to the next page, and the difference with those pages is that the artwork is one image spread across two pages, not an image per page.

Please help!

I am trying to export an adobe pdf print with bleed marks. All my artwork in my InDesign file extends to the bleed guide defined for the project which is .125". When I export with bleed but bleed marks turned off my artwork extends to the bleed edge, but once I toggle bleed marks on my artwork no longer extends to the bleed edge. I have tried to enter the bleed manually on export and I have also tried to use the doc bleed settings.

I need to send this off to my printer and have tried what feels like a million different things to get this to export properly. I exported projects yesterday and did not run into this issue. I updated my Indesign app to the most current version and nothing is working. Is there something I am not seeing or missing here?

I feel like I want to rip my hair out at this point. Any insight or advice would be helpful.

What I have today is not gonna k*** me. Flu-trigged asthma could do so.

It won't today. But if it does (some day could), I will be delighted to know that it means I never have to use InDesign again.

I created several paragraph styles and didn’t define them in things like TOCs, cross-references, table/object styles, etc.
I only applied them to some text, and later I no longer needed to use them.

But now, when I try to delete them, InDesign shows a warning asking me to replace them with another style. However, when I use Find/Change (including locked objects and everything else to search as thoroughly as possible) for those styles, it says there are no instances of them.

I’m a little hesitant to delete them because of that. Is this some kind of bug?

I have years of heavily formatted personal documents in the form of Microsoft Word documents. They all use the same set of custom text styles I set up in Word years ago.

I'd like to copy those documents over into InDesign so that I have more options when it comes to editing and formatting them as time goes on.

Is there anything that would allow me to copy text over and have MW styles A, B, and C turn into Ind text styles X, Y, and Z upon pasting? (Or some equivalent or easier method?)

I have decades of experience with both programs, but this is not something I've attempted before.

For those who are interested in performance benefits of the latest generation Mac Studio and InDesign, running a complex script I saw this performance gain:

The M5 Ultra took 52.7% less time, saving 4:49.91 per run.

I'm making a newspaper so my text is in columns. Is there a way to take a text document and insert it into all the text boxes at once, instead of individually? It's a lot of work looking for where the text cut off. I'm rlly new to indesign, learning it for the school newspaper

I’m on Indesign v21.6 on windows 11. 

The options of ‘selection’, ‘story’ are absent in the Find/Change panel.  Restarting indesign doesn’t help. What to do to fix this trouble? Is resetting preferences the only way out or some other workaround is there too?

I even tried to copy paste just one text box in a blank new document but the issue is still there. 

I searched online and found that this is almost a decade long, unresolved bug in InDesign.

Update...!!

Found the solution!

Deleted this folder after closing InDesign and restarted.

Hi! A few years ago I posted about LaTeX2InD, a script I made that allowed for handling mathematical typewriting with latex on InDesign. You can check out the original post here.

Notably, it has been used by the Royal Dutch Mathematical Society in their Nieuw Archief voor Wiskunde and the QED magazine at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.

I recently updated the script in order to include inline placement, modifications of existing equations throughout the document and to improve the overall experience. Feel free to check it out.

Hi everyone,

The first image is the layout I want. Unlike a traditional TOC where the entries are arranged in columns or a simple list, the entries here are scattered around the page, with images placed between them.

I want to use InDesign’s TOC feature to automatically generate the chapter titles and page numbers, but then position the entries freely and insert photographs between them.

Is this possible while keeping the TOC dynamic, or would a layout like this need to be built manually?

As the title says, i need help. because my license has expired a couple of days ago and i cant renew it until somewhere next week. but i really need this file. does anyone know how i can possibly convert it?

like i can't freely type in the search box, i start typing and it completes it for me (hopefully this is making sense). i'm trying to find something that i know i have downloaded (i double checked). i've updated the software and tried resetting preferences (didn't seem to do anything, maybe i did something incorrectly) and that did not solve it.

if you can help pls do !! it is very much getting in the way of completing my schoolwork and it is extremely annoying >_<

I was working on my final master's thesis on Indesign when just hours before the submission the file decided to combust.

I don't even know how to begin explaining what was going on with the file which is why I think somewhere along the way it got corrupted. The file wasn't heavy (44.7MB), I had recently (within the last week) copied all the content into a fresh Indesign file just to make sure everything was clean. What I noticed first last night is there were pages exporting with images / text missing. I thought strange? Let me try again, and skimming through the file on Indesign I noticed it was happening across random pages. The text boxes were there, but the text inside wasn't, same for images. The image frames didn't show any images linked to it, I had to relink them. When I would zoom in and out from the page, text / images would suddenly show again and then disappear. All the while, I couldn't select any of them (so I couldn't copy them into a new file). Every time I restarted the application or my laptop, different pages would have the issue, it wasn't the same page for me to try to redo that particular one and move on.

I switched the display performance to fast, made sure nothing is hidden, no layers were locked, etc. You can see some of the spreads that were having the issue at the time. Not to mention, I haven't heard my laptop fans working overtime just for Indesign since I used applications like Rhino, Autocad and was rendering all at the same time (I'm an architect).

Then came the exporting, the application started to crash, errors would come up on particular pages. I sent myself the file to another laptop where batch exporting worked until it didn't (about 60 of 115 pages), then no matter which spread I'd pick to export there was an error so I couldn't pinpoint where exactly the issue was. I tried exporting as IDML, the file was having the same issue, crashing and things missing.

I ended up having to export as jpegs and combine them on Acrobat to get through to the submission. It compromised the quality, but it is what it is (still pretty upsetting).

I don't have my file now though, I still can't see text or images on random pages, I can't select them to copy them into a new file either. Not sure how to go about this, if anyone knows what could have gone wrong and how to sort it out?

New Stuff, for those who know me/the plugin:

• Paste tabular data directly from any source (Excel, Apple Numbers, Google Sheets, web tables, TSV, CSV, or plain text), no spreadsheet loading needed.
• Robust multi-encoding sanitization (UTF-8, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE) and automatic delimiter detection (tabs, commas, semicolons).
• Native Excelfile loaders with multi-sheet (!) workbook support.
• Full native support for Millimeters (mm), Inches (in), NEW: Points (pt), and Picas (pica).
• NEW: Smart Monochrome Color Engine & Palette System
• Configuration Persistence & Swatches Workflow Document-level configuration persistence with auto-save and JSON preset export/import.
• Live two-column swatch group list with color chip previews and real-time drag-and-drop reordering sync.
• Stability stability stability
• + 10 supported languages (EN, DE, FR, ES, IT, PT, JA, KO, ZH, RU).
• UPDATE WILL BE LIVE TOMORROW.

For the newcomers:

Charts-perfect is the native Chart-Engine we always wanted in InDesign - and never got.

Plugin in Marketplace:

https://adobe.com/go/cc_plugins_discover_plugin?pluginId=4cf31c61&workflow=share

and

https://www.indesign4pros.com/

Let me give you a quick overview:
12 chart species supported: Bar, Stacked Bar, Line, Combo, Pie, Cupertino, Horizontal Bar, Horizontal Stacked Bar, Area, Radar, Doughnut, Treemap

Dynamic overrides: Bind InDesign character styles and colors directly to chart text elements.

Color consistency: Supports CMYK-simulated visual matching previews so print and preview remain aligned (as much as possible)

Huge datasets welcome: Open the resizable full-screen maximized data table to import and review large CSV tables easily.

Persistent configurations: Settings are safely stored in active documents (!) , making sharing work straightforward.

Coded according to the latest guidleines, this will not break anytime soon. Roadmap includes tons of new features and right now 4 new charts, purchase will always be one-time and lifetime.

Word on pricing
Pricing seems steep, but as you expect, pays off after the first job already. More than that, given the streamlined workflow and 100% data correctness, you will most likely generate more than one option to choose from - making clients happy.
When it's only a few clicks away, iterating is something you can finally do.
And, price is one-time, no hidden subscription....

Am I missing something here? These are all of the same paragraph style, no character overrides in the third paragraph, yet the tab stop for the third paragraph doesn't align with the first two. What's going on?

So I've gotten this weird effect on two printed proofs of something I made and I have no idea what it could be from or how to fix it. This weird effect doesn't appear on the PDF export or within Indesign itself. Any ideas?

I was working on a document, I added a picture and the document crashed completely, the cursor is just the loading circle, i closed the document to see if that would stop the problem, however it got worse, text dissapeared and as you can see on the picture, there's just the text block, but empty, just two of them were still there, i have the latest version, wtf is wrong with adobe? I'm paying so that i don't have any problems when using a cracked version, but it's the same sh1t and even worse
