1. Direct PDF-Export in Data merge copies "page-1-text" to all other pages

   In the linked video you can see a bug in Indesign 17.1 x64 on Windows 10.
   Data Merge offers two ways to output pages. You can generate a merged Indesign-Document (works) and you can directly export to PDF.
   The direct PDF-export doesn't work for me, because texts from page 1 get copied to all other pages instead of using each pages text.
   The video shows the comparison between both methods and i just don't see a reason for what is happening.

   Please urgently resolve the bug descrbed below by Johan. Our users are affected for a very long time now.

   43525704

   indesign export to pdf unusable for Thai

   Basically all the diacritics are messed up, regardless of font used. The PDF looks fine but the text if copied from the PdF is garbled.
   This is in 16.2.1 (2021). It was working in 2019.

3. PLEASE do not close this yet: Hyperlink alt text is ignored in the latest version of Indesign

   While Ravi Kiran and Dax Castro consider this closed, my US government contact does not. I need all the hard work I put into placing this hyperlink alt text into InDesign to come across into the OBVIOUS place in the PDF. Why is that such a hard ask? It seems like it could be in both places. Buried where my client cannot find it and where they can see it easily. Please reconsider. Thank you.

5. won't save

   InDesign 2021 randomly looses the ability to export or save. The dialog box won't even come up, even though the menu option isn't greyed out. This makes me loose all progress.

7. InDesign is removing caps from file names

   InDesign 17.1 x64 Often (most of the time, but not always) when I overwrite (File Save As) or Export to a PDF that already exists and overwrite the current file, the new file name becomes all small letters (removes my caps). It only happens with InDesign. I can overwrite PDFs from Word, Access, etc and it never happens. This is very frustrating. Just started happening with version 17.

8. PDF's Exporting at Large File Sizes

   I've been running into an issue with PDF's exporting at large file sizes. This became apparent to me after the 2022 update. Here is an example of how this occurs and disrupts my workflow.

   I recently sent a exported a PDF from an indd project that linked to 13 PSD's. The exported PDF file size came to relatively manageable 10 MBs.

   I later updated the same project, now including 20 linked PSD's. This PDF export came to 184 MBs!

   When I've run into this in the past, I've had to either convert the PSD's to JPG's, or run some kind of other optimization out of Acrobat. This is an OK workaround when in a crunch, but I prefer to keep the workflow of source images to PSD's, intact. The downside to running optimization out of acrobat is noticeable loss in image quality, especially in the red channel of JPG's. In the above example, running optimization out of Acrobat reduced the PDF from 184 MBs to 4 MBs, with some, but not too terrible, loss in image quality.

   It's highly likely that this jump in export size is due to the PSD's. My research has lead me to believe this has something to do with meta data carried over in the PSD's, but it still seems like an extreme shift in export size.

   Any thoughts on what the cause of this extreme file size could be? Can export to PDF image options be refined to mitigate this? Like enhanced image flattening, conversion, or meta data remove (if this is indeed the source of the issue). Are there any options that exist that I'm missing? Though, the variable here seems to be the PSD's themselves.

   I've included systems specs, and PDF export settings as attachments for reference, below.

   System Specs:
   Windows 10 Pro 20H2
   AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950x 16-Core 3.5 GHz
   128 GB RAM
   NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

9. Slow creation of PDF low-res

   In addition to the problem I posted regarding a conflict between ID and Windows 11, I did resolve that by moving to an earlier release of ID. However, the creation of the low-res PDF now consumed the time it normally takes to produce a high-res print-ready export. Something is going on with ID 17.1.

    It has been implemented this way as per Accessibility Requirements.

    According to Accessibility Requirements, Alt Text should be placed under the /K Array in the Dictionary – please see attachment for more information.

11. InDesign 17.1 generating enormous PDF

    I am a book designer and have been using InDesign for years. Just upgraded to 17.1 and finding its exporting massive PDF of a simple text file (60 page novel - no images, no colour, no charts, no graphics...just black text on a white page). I cant get it below 18mb using 'Smallest File Size' which is ridiculous. Previously this would have been 1 to 2 mb. Can you fix this please?

12. InDesign version 17.0.1: Captions generated in InDesign do not export with accessible tagging structure.

    I'm trying to get my captions to tag properly when exporting to a PDF (for accessibility purposes). I used the caption functions in InDesign (Caption Setup and Generate Static Caption) to create captions for my images. I watched a tutorial that showed this process and the end result was text tagged as "Caption" and nested underneath the Figure/Image.

    Unfortunately, when I export, the caption is tagged as regular paragraph text (<P>), and it is not nested with its associated image. Any tips on how to fix this? I'm trying to do things correctly on the InDesign side, so I won't have to do as much remediation in Acrobat.

13. Printing to PDF: transparent images on a black background create two different blacks.

    Export function doesn't tend to create this problem, but I have to use the Print Booklet function to get page layout and everything else correct.

    I understand the difference between Rich Black and Accurate Black, but changing the settings for what InDesign will export seems to have no effect. have tried about 6 different solutions but none of them seem to work, short of me jumping through obscene hoops to cheat it. FIX YOUR CRAP ADOBE.

    Attaching two images:
    First is Screencap from InDesign viewport.
    Second is PDF after print.

    UPDATE: The website doesn't allow me to upload jpegs, so Adobe if you're reading this, I hate you. That is actually the final straw. Took the time out of my day to file a complaint that I know won't ever be solved, and I can't handle any more hurdles. I'm not purchasing my suite again after this payment cycle ends. Best.

14. Alt text missing on hyperlinks after "Export as Interactive PDF"

    I work primarily in InDesign and create accessible PDFs. During the design stage, I always add the alt text when creating hyperlinks or adding images, and export it as an interactive PDF.

    As we know, after updating beyond InDesign version 16.1, the hyperlink alt text will not appear on the Link tag, but instead, it appears on the "Link - OBJR" (aka "Annotation") tag within the Link tag.

    I work on long reports that usually have hundreds of hyperlinks and this is a big and very time-consuming problem for me, so I reverted back to v 16.1.

    I've been ignoring the past several updates for InDesign, but my CC updated it to v 17 and v 16.1 is no longer available.

    Is there an acceptable solution or workaround?

    Can this be fixed in a future InDesign version???

    The world is becoming more accessible and this bug is quite a big problem for designers like myself.

    InDesign 17.0.1 exporting to Acrobat Pro DC 2021.007.20099 and opening in Full Screen mode on Monterey 12.0.1 page transitions not working.

    The options are still there in InDesign and Acrobat to have page transitions but they no longer function. Is this a Mac issue as, apparently, Windows users don't have this issue

16. pdf export missing image

    1- InDesign(17.0.1)

    2- When importing this PDF file "Socredo.pdf" in an InDesign(17.0.1) magazine layout, then exporting it again in PDF, the upper background tatoo drawing disappears. This stays true even when trying different PDF export preferences.

    3- The expected result would be to have the 2 pdfs identical visually

    4- The file "105 Ecopol 2021-2022 Secteurs.pdf" is the actual result, with the missing upper tatoo background.

20. Multiple PDF export

    Hi,
    I have a 2020 6 core iMac with 32GB RAM and I was used to do multiple exports to PDF at one time ... I could open up to 4 files and run exports on them and those exports ran at the same time ... more than 4 simultaneous exports did not work, but i was fine with 4 :)
    Today I noticed it does not work anymore for me? What happend? I have the latest MacOS 12.1 Monterey and also the latest InDesign ...
    I run the first export and the others are queuing...
