print booklet inside bleed bug
when exporting using "print PDF", there is a problem with the inside bleed. i think it is because the export booklet referts to left-right bleed instead of inside-outside.
if i set inside bleed-inside to 0, the pdf booklet is exported without the left bleed. if i set bleed-inside to 5mm then it exports with a bleed-left.
this is a bug

2023 | Indesign 14.00 (2019) was the last known version to successfully export interactive elements to PDF
A bug with Traditon! Happy Birthday you are four years old.
That since the end of 2019, interactive animated element can no longer output, I had unfortunately recently forgotten (Earlier I had done that more often)! So: Once again I have invested time, things pretty animated, only to realize that the bug still exists!
Say: All these pretty functions are pointless and useless.
They are purely for the optics still there, chic to look at .... but unfortunately not intended for use (something I know with Adobe Illustrator for a long time).The solution Support suggested at the time was…

Une integration du PDF comme pour Adobe Illustrator
Je me demande pourquoi la lecture PDF peut être faite à partir d'un fichier AI, alors que ce n'est pas le cas sur indesign. ce serait pratique pour le travail à distance. il faut que le fichier PDF soit à jour, alors que le fichier indesign a pu évoluer.

PDF/X-1a:2001 does don't export files correctly
PDF/X-1a:2001 does don't export files correctly and causes a visual discrepancy in Acrobat from the small page view to the larger page view. When combing PDFs the discrepancy is transferred over and does not appear correctly.

List Forms not working properly when exporting to interactive PDF in non latin lagunages.
I work for a translating company, the list forms items do not export as they should be when building an interactive PDF. Latin using languages are ok, but when doing forms with non latin fonts, I get the forms, full of dots instead of proper characters. I changed the font to ARIAL Unicode MS, which displays great everywhere else, except the list forms. Other Adobe fonts, wont work either. It impossible to know if the World ready Adobe composer is activated inside the form. The rest of the document is IN Adobe World Ready composer.
Only the first item is…1 vote -

Critical PDF Export Issue - InDesign 17.4
The font "Josefin Slab Thin" is "active", while it simultaneously errors that it can't find it, and continues trying to download the font in the background. I tried exporting the file on 2 different Adobe accounts and had the same issue with this font. Upon attempting to uninstall InDesign through the CC app, the "uninstall" button 'clicks' but does nothing. No loading button or anything.

URL Hyperlinks not working
I am working on MacOS Ventura (brand-new update, November 9 2022) in the most up-to-date version of InDesign. Had the same problem on the latest Mac system as well.
My hyperlinks are trying to "link to destination" and won't open, even though I have unchecked "Shared Hyperlink Destination" and have "link to URL" selected. See screenshot for the popup shown by Acrobat when you try to click the link.
I have tried everything, no clue what to do. Please help.

Output settings don't appear to be saved in Adobe PDF presets anymore in Indesign 17.4
I rely on Adobe PDF Presets in Indesign. In version 17.4, it appears that output settings saved in custom presets are not observed anymore. I had a preset for low res pdfs with colour settings in output set to RGB values for online viewing. Worked great for years. Now I have to go in and turn off "all spots to Process" all the time.

Items outside frame are exported in PDF as well
I have seen that this issue exists for a long time. Upon exporting to PDF, if you have placed a PDF inside a frame, anything outside the frame will be exported too. I believe that anything outside a frame should not be exported as it makes no sense, especially because it is exported as invisible (but still selectable). Can you fix this please?
In my example, only the image you can see was inside the frame, but other items from the original PDF were exported.
I am using Windows 11, Indesign 17.4

When exporting a Thai document to PDF, footnote numbering goes wrong after the ninth footnote.
When exporting a Thai document to PDF, footnote numbering goes wrong after the ninth footnote.
InDesign 17.4 (on Apple M1)
To reproduce,
- Create nine footnotes however.
- Create a new paragraph wholly in Thai (which you can do by copying something over from the Thai Wikipedia, or just the following text: ย่อหน้า.)
- Place a cursor behind some distinctly Thai character (i.e., a consonant or vowel, not a punctuation mark).
- Insert the tenth footnote.
- Write the tenth footnote wholly in Thai.
- Export the document to PDF
The footnote number (as a superscript) in the body should be 10, and the corresponding footnote…

File Can't Export to PDF
I have a specific file that I cannot export to PDF. I simply get a Background Task Alert that says 'Failed to Export the PDF file.' This is the only file which gives me this problem, I'm able to export other files just fine. I am using PC, and other co-workers on Mac are able to Export the file just fine.
I'm unsure as to what the issue is because I am getting No Errors mentioned in my Preflight Panel, and the Background Task Alert isn't giving any sort of code associated with the error.

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.1 vote -
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.
