  2. Ajouter une fonctionnalité "État d'objet" pour les objets non imprimable en pdf intéractif

    Est-il possible d'ajouter une fonctionnalité sur indesign permettant de rendre un objet (exemple : lignes noirs sur un formulaire interactif) non imprimable lors de l'impression de ce document. Donc attribuer à cet objet un "état à l'impression" dans un sens comme dans l'autre.

    Une fonctionnalité qui permettrait à une entreprise de remplir son document interactif de type formulaire et si elle souhaite l'imprimer sur son copieur, que celui-ci sorte proprement sans les petits lignes. Ou à l'inverse que les lignes ne s'affichent pas en pdf intéractif mais à l'impression s'imprime pour permettre de compléter le document à la main.

  3. publish online mobile

    InDesign 16.4

    When i publish a document using 'publish online' it doesn't work correctly on mobile. When you first load it up on mobile the navigation bar at the bottom is there, but if you click anything on the page the navigation bar disappears. This then means you can't navigate through the rest of the brochure.

    I've tried this on multiple mobile browsers including Chrome, Edge & Brave and the same happens on each.

    This is a major issue for us as a lot of people will want to view this document on mobile.

    I've attached a couple of screenshots

  4. imported excel number spaces are replaced with an 'Ê' on Mac

    I'm on a Macbook pro M1, working on an InDesign file. I get some XLSX files with tables containing numbers in them, and when I place them into my document, all spaces between numbers are replaced with an 'Ê'.

    e.g. 123 456 789 will be placed as 123Ê456Ê789.

    I've asked someone to test it out on windows and it does not happen. I belive it is a IOS issue only....?

  5. InDesign will not work with documents downloaded from Google Drive.

    InDesign 17.1 does not display images in documents downloaded from Google Drive, which was previously my regular work process. The list of images in "Links" does not show any alerts that any image is missing. When I re-link an image, it does display in the document, but the program does not automatically re-link any of the other images in the same folder.

  6. Random missing text which does not affect the PDF output

    Greetings,
    Please compare the two screenshots that I've posted. One is a shot from InDesign, and the other is a screenshot from the PDF output of the same text. As you can see there are some missing lines in when I look at the text in InDesign.
    Some notes:
    1) It always happens with list items (bullet lists, numbered lists)
    2) The random missing text parts changes as I change the magnification (zoom) level
    3) It happens on all my documents
    4) I haven’t changed anything recently. No InDesign updates, etc.
    5) The font used is Minion Pro and supplied…

  7. Style Mapping to [Basic Paragraph] doesn’t work with remembered settings or presets

    When you place (import) a Word document into InDesign, you can choose to use Style Mapping to map the paragraph and character styles in Word to their equivalents in your InDesign document. When you use this feature for the first time in a document, the mappings get stored somewhere and are remembered for any subsequent imports you perform in the same document; you can also choose to save your import settings, including Style Mappings, as a preset to use freely in any document.

    If you map any Word styles to the default [Basic Paragraph] style in InDesign, it works as…

  12. Link Your Canon Printer to Wifi Wirelessly

    The first step in connecting a Canon printer to WiFi is to locate the Wifi button on the printer. You can double-check the button by consulting the handbook that came with your printer. Now press and hold the Wifi button until you see the Wifi lamp begin to flash blue. Release the Wifi button when the Wifi lamp flashes two times. Go to your access point and hit the WPS push button to continue with the Canon printer wireless setup. The printer will then begin to display the Connecting status, indicating that it is looking for your router. The Wifi…

  14. 인디자인 윗첨자가 들어 있는 indd 파일을 txt 파일로 내 보내기를 할 때

    인디자인에서 윗첨자가 들어 있는 indd 파일을

    txt 파일로 내 보내기를 할 때

    현재는 윗첨자 부분이 구분이 안 되고, 일반 문자로 처리가 되어서,

    txt 파일로 만들어 지고 있습니다.

    이 부분에서도 txt 파일로 뽑아지는 문서에서도 윗첨자로 뽑아지도록

    프로그램이 보완이 되면 더 좋겠습니다.

    고맙습니다.

  15. Damaged File message

    I'm getting the same error message "file is damaged when trying to create new ICML files. There seems to be a bug in the latest update. InDesign saves a recovered file and that seems to fix the problem. BUT the file is not damaged, it seems to be a bug in the latest update. Can you guys take a look.

    Thanks!!

  18. Font baseline grid

    The baseline grid start value for Open Sans is different if the font is used from Adobe than if it's used from Google.
    This results in changes in layout which is very annoying. Also, when telling indesign to fit the box to text, the box is unnecessary larger at the top.
    Before the 17.0 InDesign update that wasn't the case.

    Someone else complained about this in November - https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/text-boxes-need-to-be-enlarged-after-update/m-p/... - the issue there is marked as solved, but it wasn't solved actually.

    The issue started with 17.0, actually i was really hoping it would have been addresses in this…

  19. Accessibility issues tagging order and H1 tags not showing at all for screen readers

    h2 tags are the only tags that are showing for screen readers any other of the h tags aren't working. I've tried everything to get it working. Made sure tags are correct within indesign, made sure export tags are also set up correctly, tried doing some after work in acrobat with the structuring. People within the community have said it's been like this for the last few releases. Could this be looked into
