1. "send form" doesn't work

   I made an interactive form with several "necessary" fields and a "send form" button. When I tried to "send" the form without filling in the necessary fields, acrobat reminds me that not all required fields are filled in. Positive, that's how it should work. BUT- when all fields are filled in and one tries the "send form" button, nothing happens. File is not send...... Please advise, because the "necessary fields / required information" is not asked after if the file can't be send by this button....

2. 'File is damaged' message appears when opening files

   I have the latest version (20.2), the computer is a new M2 max, and these are all files I have created myself. They are stored locally. I have tried exporting as IDML and resaving, but the proble keeps coming back.
   Is InDesign really corrupting my files or is this a false message which can be ignored?
   Prompt investigation of this would be apreciated please Adobe.

   Adobe InDesign, 29.2: Last three spaces on justified page are blank and then the first three spaces on the next line on the next page. Should I take out full justification and then restore afterwards? It's a 200 page book of prose.

5. Character Style / redefine not working as expected

   When changing the font/color/style of a word which has a Character Style applied, the user expects a + to appear and a 'Redefine Style' context menu entry when right clicking the Character Style, just like when changing the appearance of text with a Paragraph Style applied.

   This does not always happen with Character Styles. If found that it does not work, when a Character Style is initially defined by first styling a selected text, and then added as a Character Style, with the + button in the Character Styles palet. In that case, the workflow mentioned does not work.

   Please repair this / make both coherent. Currently, Character Styles are kind of broken.

6. Enable subfolder searching for missing links

   Enable subfolder searching for missing links

   Please implement an option for InDesign to automatically search subfolders when trying to relink missing files. Currently, when linked files are reorganized into subfolders, InDesign requires manual navigation to reconnect them, even when they're in obvious locations relative to the original path. A smart subfolder search would save significant time when managing complex projects with many linked assets and reduce frustration during file organization changes.

7. Convert All Fonts to Outlines

   Add "Convert All Fonts to Outlines" checkbox in PDF Export dialog

   Please add a simple checkbox in the PDF Export dialog to automatically convert all text to outlines. This feature would streamline print workflows by ensuring text doesn't shift or cause issues during printing. Both CorelDraw and even Adobe Acrobat already offer this functionality, so it makes sense to include it directly in InDesign's export process. This would eliminate the need for manual text conversion or post-processing PDFs in other applications.

8. Continuous numbering

9. Issue Report: Kerning Not Applied with Ligatures Enabled in InDesign 2024/2025 (Regression from 2023

   Description:
   A kerning issue occurs in Adobe InDesign 2024 and 2025 when using ligature-supported fonts like Microsoft Uighur Font. Manual kerning adjustments fail to apply when ligatures are enabled. This problem does not occur in InDesign 2023, where disabling ligatures allows kerning to function as expected.

   ---

   Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Font Setup: Use Microsoft Uighur Font in InDesign 2024/2025. (I use my personal font)
   2. Text Input: Type a word containing the ligature اللہ (e.g., any two Arabic text).
   3. Enable Ligatures: Ensure ligatures are turned on (Character panel > Ligatures: ON).
   4. Apply Manual Kerning: Attempt to adjust kerning between characters (e.g., using Alt + Arrow Keys).
   - Observed Result: Kerning adjustments do not take effect.
   5. Disable Ligatures: Turn ligatures off (Character panel > Ligatures: OFF).
   - Observed Result: Kerning now works as expected.

   Expected Behavior:
   Manual kerning should apply regardless of ligature settings, as seen in InDesign 2023.

   Affected Versions:
   - Broken: InDesign 2024 & 2025
   - Working: InDesign 2023

   ---

   Request for Assistance:
   Has anyone encountered this regression? Are there known fixes or workarounds for newer InDesign versions? Testing with Microsoft Uighur Font and the ligature اللہ should replicate the issue. Any guidance or insights would be appreciated!

   (Note: Ensure OpenType features are not overriding settings, and test in a new document with default preferences.)

11. overlapping text on paragraph break in INDD

    When formatting text using a parent page element that's been activated (by using Shift + CMD + Click) on a page, and forcing a paragraph break so that the text goes from two lines to three, the first of the now three lines "hides" behind the second line. The current fix to this issue is to make an edit to the first line so it "pays attention" to the change and goes where it's supposed to.

    Font used: Los Feliz OT, Bold, 27
    Justification: Bottom

    Screenshots included of before the edit, during the edit, and fixed, with hidden characters turned on.

13. Book Preflight panel uses [Basic] preflight profile instead of the indicated working profile

    Hello,

    i noticed some strange behaviour of the Book Preflight panel. While it shows the current working preflight profile as selected, it will instead use InDesigns [Basic] preflight profile. To actually use your desired preflight profile, you have to open the list of profiles and select it (again). Even though it already shows as selected.

    To reproduce this error, i duplicated the [Basic] preflight profile, named it "Test Check" and additionally disallowed RGB color under COLOR > Color Spaces and Modes Not Allowed > RGB. I then selected it as working profile in the preflight settings.

    I then set up a 4 page book file, consisting of 4 seperate InDesign documents, one of them containing an RGB filled object. When i open the books preflight panel, it shows the previously set up working profile as a selected, but won't use it. It will use InDesigns [Basic] profile, which doesn't contain the RGB color check. So the documents all finish checking with no errors.

    Only when i open the books preflight panel a second time, the actually used [Basic] profile shows up as selected. And when i select my actually desired profile, the check finishes as expected.

    Some additional notes for the first "phase", when my working profile shows up wrongly as selected:

    I can click the (already activated) radio button next to it and suddenly the [Basic] profile will show up.

    If i didn't do the above step, i can use the profile drop down and select my (already selected) working profile, and then InDesign will actually use it.

    Link to my test files:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/11svsbbmvawdtt2/Book%20Preflight%20Test.zip?st=t042y5tm&dl=0

    This isn't a new error, by the way. I encountered first in InDesign 2022. I just upgraded to 2025, this time without importing any previous preferences, so i'm now sure this is an actual bug.

14. ID incorrectly enables Overprint when converting a text to paths

    This bug has been reproduced in Indesign 15.0 and 18.5. MacOS Sonoma.

    When you convert a BLACK text to outline, Overprint Fill is automatically enabled in the Attributes panel. The ‘Overprint’ selection remains applied even if you change the colour of this object.

    I've just had a print advert blown out of the water by my client because half of his logo had disappeared. It was blue and was overprinted even though I hadn't set anything like that.

    It came about in the way described above: a text was converted into paths, the resulting logo was recoloured in blue - but it remained an object for Indesign to print over.

15. Keyboard Shortcuts don't work after opening from Bridge with only one InDesign file open

    Very specific bug this but as Bridge sits at the centre of my workflow it affects every file I open!

    Steps to reproduce:
    1) Open InDesign
    2) Open a file from Bridge - right click, open or double click (keyboard shortcuts work fine the first time!)
    3) Close file in InDesign
    4) Open a file from Bridge as above

    Now most keyboard shortcuts - eg. Place: ctrl-D - won't work. Holding space gives you the temporary hand tool but that's about it. You have to hit alt-tab twice to get back to normal shortcuts working.

    If you open another file in the same way, shortcuts seem to work again.

    If you open from File Explorer they work as expected.

    If you open from the recent files thumbnails inside InDesign they seem to work fine.

    If you drag from Bridge, focus seems to stay on Bridge - keyboard shortcuts affect it instead. But that doesn't seem to be what's happening with the open command here... the shortcuts just seem to disappear into the ether!

    System:
    + Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 22H2 / Ryzen 9700x / 64GB / RTX 4800 Super / 990 Pro / Wacom PTH-851 - latest drivers/firmware for everything.
    + InDesign 20.1 but it's long standing behaviour - been like this through as many point releases / versions of Windows 10 as I can remember.

18. Make it possible to paste a color code containing a # character

    Please make it possible to paste a HEX color text string containing a hash character (e.g. "#ffffff"), into the the small text box in the color panel.
    At least on Mac, it is not possible in Indesign 20.1. Very annoying.

19. 1:1 print size zoom scale please !

    Please add a feature to select/setup a 1:1 screen to print scale, so that the 100% zoom can display the document at "real life" output size. (both on computer and monitor, hence the need for a personalized setup for different monitors)
    This could ideally be saved, the same way worskpaces can be saved.
    Thank you !
