Why can’t I activate fonts in InDesign?
If the fonts are not active, try turning off the font option in Creative Cloud, wait a moment, and then turn it back on. Open the menu from the gear icon at the top of Creative Cloud desktop. Choose Services, and then toggle Adobe Fonts to turn it off and back on.
Why is InDesign not picking up fonts?
Another possible reason for missing fonts, if you’re working in InDesign CC, is that Adobe Typekit hasn’t successfully synced your selected fonts to your desktop. If this is the case, check your internet connection, and verify that you’re successfully signed in to Creative Cloud.

If you’re still seeing save grayed out, then try trashing your InDesign preferences. If that doesn’t do it, you may have a corrupt installation and I would recommend uninstall/reinstall.
Why is InDesign unable to update a modified link?
To update a modified link—a .psd file for instance, I have to quit Photoshop, then quit InDesign and update the link as the document opens. The first symptom is that the update icon in the links panel is grayed-out. When I attempt to “update all links” in the links panel, this is the error message I get.
Where do I find my links in InDesign?
By default InDesign looks for links in the ‘Links’ folder which should be where all your INDD sources are. If you used multiple folders before and with different names, one way to fix this is to drop ALL your linked AI files inside a single folder simply named Links.
What happens if a link is not edit in place?
If the selected link is currently in an “edit in place” operation, this option is not enabled. Unembedding the file restores management operations to the link.
How can I get InDesign to find my ai files?
