1. PDF/X-1a:2001 rendering is broken as of v18.4

   Exporting using the PDF/X-1a:2001 preset no longer works properly as of versions 18.4. When rendering plate separations for printing using AFGA Apogee prepress software (which has NOT been updated, nor has the OS), the PDF crashes the render and spits out an error. I've checked and confirm that PDFs worked as expected forever until v18.4 and 18.5, which both produce an error. Saving the PDFs as a postscript within Acrobat and distilling back into PDF/X-1a:2001 fixes the problem, so something is broken in InDesign.
   Apogee usually provides better error reports than the single "." in that screenshot, which suggests that it doesn't understand the nature of the problem.

2. Data merge panel blank

   Data Merge WAS failing to display data field placeholders in either existing documents or new ones. I'm getting a completely Data Merge blank panel when importing a new source file, and when opening an existing document with a linked file, I was only seeing a preview of one of the records.
   This persisted through a number of workspace configurations (most including a second monitor) until I broke the Data Merge panel off from the others, and cycled through the panel size presets (the up/down chevrons to the left of the panel title) - only once returned to 'standard' size did the Data Merge panel again display the merge tags, and allow the preview button to be clicked etc

3. Hebrew drops out

   Hebrew text in the middle of a sentence is dropping out when exported to PDF. There have been several occurrences in this project, but I've never seen this before. In the example PDF, I have a Hebrew word followed by a makeshift ellipsis [nonbreaking space + . + 1/6 em space + . + 1/6 em space + . + space] followed by two more Hebrew words. A GREP style changes the Hebrew words from the base font (Arno) to Taamey David CLM. As is, the first Hebrew word drops out.

   If I move the first Hebrew word back to the end of the previous line, it exports correctly. If I change the font of the spaces and periods between the Hebrew words, it exports correctly.

   Changing the font for the Hebrew to Times New Roman does not correct the drop out. Removing the GREP and manually styling the Hebrew also does not correct the drop out.

   I've attached two PDFs. One shows a hole in the text where the Hebrew should be. The second—in which I've changed the font of the spaces and periods between the Hebrew words, shows the complete—correct export.

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   1. Version 18.4
   2. Key mixed-language sentence of English and Hebrew with a non-Hebrew string interrupting the Hebrew. (It may be a requirement that the Hebrew begins the second or later line in the paragraph; that seems to be part of the pattern, but I can't confirm that.) Export to PDF.
   3. All Hebrew and English should export in full.
   4. Part of Hebrew is missing.

4. Across platform seamless real-time collaboration

   I think this issues is raised with the co-auther note, but it's slightly ambigious what's meant. Therefor I'll just restate that an option to collaborate and work seamless across workstations in the same InDesign document would be very helpful. Something similar to the Office-package in this regard would be amazing, where you can see what and where the other collaborators are editing and in what sections. It's a hassle to have multiple copies and remember to copy every edit into a masterfile in the end.

5. InDesign 18.2 crashes/fails during PDF export for documents containing placed indd containing Adobe Fonts

   Problem/Actual Result
   I have Indesign files that have .indd files linked as images. Each time I export an Indesign file that has an .indd links, I receive the attached messages saying that the file cannot be exported.

   Steps to reproduce the issue:
   - I have exported each page to find out which assets are causing Indesign not to export, it is always an .indd asset.
   - I have tried removing any transparency from each of the .indd linkages
   - I have removed any transparency or object style on any bounding box an .indd file sits in.
   - I have tried removing any unused or empty layers in all of the .indd linkages
   - I have tried exporting Indesign files as Press Quality, High Quality Print and Small File size but no PDF can be produced.
   - I have tried saving the Indesign file and .indd linkages as IDML or INDT files, then resaving them as Indesign files, but no PDF is produced.
   
   - I have trashed all my preferences multiple times.
   - I have restarted my computer multiple times.
   - I have tested the above with multiple Indesign files and still receive the attached error messages

   Expected result:
   To successfully produce a PDF by using the File > Export function. The only way I can make a PDF currently is going to the Print dialog window and creating a PDF file but that is not desirable and very slow.

6. Color Picker causes InDesign to Crash

   Every time I try to use the eyedrop Color Picker tool in InDesign it causes InDesign to crash and close. It will not allow me to drag the eyedropper to pick up a color, and if I try to drag the eyedropper it makes the color box freeze to where I cannot click "Ok" or "Cancel" and I need to press the "Esc" button on my keyboard to get out of the color box. Shortly after closing the color box, InDesign will crash and close. I have tried updating InDesign to the newest version, turning on/off my computer multiple times, sending crash reports every time the issue happens, creating a new file in InDesign, closing all other applications. When I look at the activity monitor on my Mac, it says InDesign is using 99%-101% CPU. I have a new (purchased 09/2022) MacBook M1 Pro with 16GB of memory, 500GB Flash Storage (494 GB available) Version 12.6 Monterey.

   1. Adobe InDesign 2023 Version 18.1

   2. Steps to Reproduce this issue: Every time I try to click the eyedropper tool to change the color of either text, a line, or a background box it will cause InDesign to crash. I created a new InDesign file to see if the issue will persist in a separate file and it crashed in the new file as well.

   3. Expected Result: I expect to click and drag the eyedropper tool to a part of a photo that has been placed in InDesign to capture the color to use for either text, a line, or a box.

   4. Actual Results: The color box freezes to where I cannot click "Ok" or "Cancel", then InDesign will crash and close on its own and ask if I want to send a crash report. I always say yes to sending a crash report.

   If you are still seeing this crash happening in InDesign, please do the following:

   1. do a screen recording
   2. attach a test file
   3. mention the OS version, InDesign version.

   Put the screen recording and test file in a shared drive and share the location of the same with us.

7. Word Import | BUG | Diacritic characters change language and formatting

   Hi together,
   if a Word docx or doc document contains text in italics that are not formatted using a character style diacritic characters will import to InDesign with:

   [1] Wrong language property. Instead of e.g. English (US) it will be Arabic
   [2] Formatting is in "Regular" and not in "Italic"

   For more details see this thread at the Adobe InDesign Forum:

   italics dropped for diacritic characters when importing Word docs
   davescottpeattie, Jan 26, 2023
   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/italics-dropped-for-diacritic-characters-when-importing-word-docs/td-p/13531639

   Also see my reply in the same thread for some sample screenshots and attached documents:

   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/italics-dropped-for-diacritic-characters-when-importing-word-docs/m-p/13532786#M512947

   Also note that the Word Import allows the creation of several character styles with no names and no properties in the recieving document! At best this is a disturbing thing…

   A workaround for that specific case was to copy/paste formatted from Word to InDesign.

10. text typed on path distorts when converted to outlines

    Using InDesign v17.2.1, text typed on a path becomes distorted when converted to outlines. As you'll see in the attached before/after images, the converted text is mostly okay, but the last few words become almost illegibly small. The characters also become reoriented relative to the path ... some characters are vertical, others upside-down. I've tried changing fonts, creating new documents, and typing on paths of different shapes, but the problem persists. I was hoping that this problem would be addressed in the latest update, but it wasn't.

13. high CPU usage version 17.2

    as referred in these posts there is a performance problem with indesign that coming from version 17.0 and still exist(version 17.2):

    https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/44775886-high-cpu-use-with-version-17-1

    No answer from Adobe , No fix , nothing unfortunately. It uses about 20 % of CPU when you open Indesign , it does not matter there is a document that is opened or not , it uses 20% of CPU all the time. non of other Adobe's 2022 apps have this weird problem.

19. can't see content when opening file, covered with red or black blocks or lines

    Issue started with upgrade to InDesign 16.2.1 that when I open file, content appears blank or covered with red or black blocks or lines. I have to repeatedly resize the window in order to work on the page. I also noticed issues when editing text. It only allows me to edit text that is one or two lines above where the cursor appears—very frustrating!

20. line break within Hebrew word

    InDesign frequently breaks lines of Hebrew text in the middle of words. The work around is to add a Zero Length Joiner, but that can be a tedious process, especially when InDesign keeps that word together but breaks the line in the middle of a different word.
