1. Using text variables causes highlighting text in PDF to be inconsistent/scrumbled

   When exporting to PDF from a file including text variables, it results in text in pdf that it is impossible to highlight correctly. and therefore - it is impossible to mark PDF comments on it. Screenshot and PDF files are attached.
   It only happened with ARIAL font, and only in certain book files (that were created in previous ID version). I couldn't recreate the bug in another file.
   When I removed the text variables the PDF was exported fine.
   I also had another kind of conditional text I made in these files - it was a sentence written inside the 'Text After' field in Bullets & numbering tab in a Paragraph style, and would show on book only when typing something (I used space) using this paragraph style. This kind of conditional text had the same effect on PDF text, and when removed - PDF got exported fine.

4. Profiles conversion doesn't work anymore with InDesign export PDF

   Hello,
   Sorry for my approximative english.
   It's no longer possible to do high-res PDF export from InDesign because it doesn't convert color profiles correctly (it seems InDesign consider there is no profil on imported documents). Same conversions works fine on Photoshop.
   We use InDesign CC 14.0.1 and joboptions we made (PDF/X-1a:2001 - Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) - convert to destination : ISO Coated V2) with Bridge coordination.
   We're a big french comic books publisher and it's a very important problem for our workflow.
   It's like a bug, I try some things I found on forums, but nothing works (delete all preferences and reinstall Bridge...), but maybe I missed something.
   Anybody would have an idea to fix it?
   Adobe team, please help us to solve this big problem.
   Best

5. PDF Hyphenation Bug when line has cross-reference, hyphenated word, and option is to create Tagged PDF

   When exporting an InDesign document to PDF, the hyphenated word is displayed incorrectly in the output PDF.

   It only happens with a line that has cross-reference object, hyphenated word, and option is to create Tagged PDF.

   InDesign 2019 (14.0.1) (MAC/PC) . Also tried it with previous versions and it has the same issue.

6. Tabs in Arabic text move weight declaration to the wrong place

   When placing an Arabic weight statement (e.g. "13g") followed by a tab and a percentage (e.g. "19%"), the weight declaration ("g" or "mg") moves to the percentage when exporting to pdf. Only when setting PDFX/1a:2001 is selected the output is correct. But this setting removes all layers and flattens transparencies so it's not very useful.
   A workaround is to place a space after the tab (so on the left side since this is a right to left language).
   See screen shot in attachment. On top = InDesign file, bottom = pdf created from this file using PDFX/4. The top line in the Indesign file has no space after the tab, resulting in a wrong placement of the "غ" (= Arabic "g") as marked red in the screen shot.

8. Bug - Crop image data exceeding frame

   Objects outside of the frame are still showing as hidden objects in a PDF. During export I made sure the Crop image data exceeding frame box was checked. However objects are still seen as ghost text.

9. Export defaults are not sticky anymore after update

   When you hit Ctrl+E it used to use the last [pdf] export profile that had been used, but now it's always 'Adobe (Interactive) PDF' now. Might sound like a minor issue, but when you have to go through lots of pages one by one it just a massive waste of time going each time through File-Adobe PDF Presets-Needed One (using mouse).

   Can't see where it can be backed? Any suggestions?

   Thanks,

   Henry

   p.s. Thought it could be resolved through Keyboard shortcut, but apparently you can't make it for a specific preset, and Ctrl+E [as mentioned] is not "sticky" anymore

   Raised a topic here https://forums.adobe.com/message/10707424#10687456 Nothing helped unfortunately.

10. Export options locked

    Hi., When customising the Workspace [ i.e. colouring menus and adding Panels to the Panel Dock ] on an Apple Mac, and then subsequently using File->Export, the Drop down list of Export formats are locked out [ i.e. I cannot go from PDF Print to any other format ]. To resolve I have to go back to one of the default Workspaces such as Essentials etc, and then the Dropdown can be accessed. This happens in all recent releases of InDesign including 2019. I imagine the root cause of the fault is more the colouring of the menus rather than docking extra panels to the right of the screen [ when customising the workspace ]

11. Link metadata not exporting in large document

    InDesign 14.0.1 x64

    I have an 1100 page document that is primarily legal code and guidance, with several hundred cross-references to text anchors. The idea being that you can jump around easily in the document to get info on referenced code information.

    When I export to an interactive PDF, not all of the links work. I'm not able to predict which links will and won't work before export, but once exported those links will.not.work. When I check the PDF link info, the correct link information is there, it simply doesn't work. I can edit the link by manually selecting it and reconnecting it to the place it's (ostensibly) already connected, and it will work fine.

    However, with several hundred cross-references, this is NOT a tenable solution.

    Exporting the document as individual pages does not fix the problem.
    Exporting in chunks does not solve the problem.
    Exporting as an ePub also doesn't solve the problem.

    I can convert the file to an IDML file, reopen it, then export, and at that point all of the links will work...

    HOWEVER:

    Reopening after conversion shows a MESS of formatting errors that are unpredictable. In one instance, a number of carriage returns were randomly preceded by a soft return, which was reasonably fixable. In another instance, however, bulleted paragraphs had their formatting tags shifted by one paragraph up or down. Which necessitates going through 1100 pages of legal code and associated text and double checking every single instance of a bullet or numbering - i.e., multiple instances, every page. Which is also NOT a tenable solution.

12. InDesign exporting wrong PDF size

    Jan. 18, 2019

    My document settings in InDesign are 3.66x8.5.
    When I export to any type of PDF it shows as being 4x9
    No bleed, no slug. I know sometimes the numbers are rounded up when you look at the size on a PDF but this is odd.

    When I do a test with a document size of 3x8 I'm still getting a 4x9.
    Why?

13. PDF Export causes Acrobat to crash

    I am having trouble exporting InDesign files to PDF.

    This is what I'm seeing:
    Exporting PDFs from InDesign works fine if no PDF is open. If you have a PDF already open or are exporting a 2nd PDF with the first still open it crashes Adobe.

    I have updated Windows to a later version, checked drivers, the event viewer logs. I looked for similar issues online, repaired Acrobat from Control panel and from within the app.

    Please share any advice.

14. cc 2019 Book (.indb) Export to uncompressed PDF creating low-res PDFs

    Twice this week, I've had a problem using Books (.indb) with cc 2019. When exporting with no compression, 300 dpi images are compressing down to 33 dpi.

    The only solution I've found is going back to cc 2018.

15. InDesign CC2019 - faux bold text issue when exporting pdf.

    Only the pages with text+jpg are exported properly.
    The pages with any other image type with some transparency, i.e. psd, ai, even png, have bold text after exporting to pdf.

    It's an old issue, coming back every now and then in many InDesign editions in the past. So we all should know how to deal with it, shouldn't we? Well, here is the rub. The trick with the text placed on a separate layer on the top doesn't work anymore. Nothing works, actually. It's a major bug. A reason to downgrade to the last correct version. I needed to export a very important work today and I have spent most of my day trying to work this out. I have downgraded to CS6 eventually, just to be sure that it would work. And it did, but hey! This is not the solution.

    Another workaround that I know of is to print your publication to pdf instead of exporting. But still. It is a huge bug and we need you to deal with it real fast.

16. A few of pages are generated as the empty page in the exported PDF file from time to time

    When I try to generate my INDD file to PDF via the Export to PDF function of InDesign, a few of pages are generated as the empty page.

    . This happens from time to time (not always), even though I perform it with same file. (For example, if I retry to generate the PDF file without any amendment in the INDD file, this problem is fixed.)
    . Here, "empty page" means that all object is not shown on those pages - doesn't mean that the objects moves to the next pages.
    . I am using 11.4.1.102 x64 build with Windows 7.

    I am sending all files to be used via the link of https://heartsome-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/danny_heartsome_co_kr1/EejzrbrCFu1MkBCq1r3Yxv8BFqjkiJ4GTh0yg08gM7hCUA?e=VCS6bq (Due to the file size limit, I could not attach it into this post.)
    . T-TYPERF9000JCDA68-03194N-05CFRProblem.pdf: be generated with the blank pages (on page 4 - 5)
    . T-TYPERF9000JCDA68-03194N-05CFRRegenerated.pdf: be generated once again without any amendment

17. Text Form Fields do not export with inDesign CC 2018 14.0

    Form Fields do not export at all in the PDF when exported in the current version of inDesign. I am using the same exact settings as I did before I updated, and links DO work. Form fields just do not appear.

    To recreate:
    1) Make boxes where fields are required (in this case, on its own layer, which is visible and active)
    2) Using the Buttons and Forms panel, convert them to text boxes
    3) Export to PDF, making sure that the boxes for exporting interactive elements are checked, and the dropdown says to include appearance

    Resulting PDF does not have text fields.

    Form Fields do not export at all in the PDF when exported in the current version of inDesign. I am using the same exact settings as I did before I updated, and links DO work. Form fields just do not appear.

    To recreate:
    1) Make boxes where fields are required (in this case, on its own layer, which is visible and active)
    2) Using the Buttons and Forms panel, convert them to text boxes
    3) Export to PDF, making sure that the boxes for exporting interactive elements are checked, and the dropdown says to include appearance

    It looks like you are exporting to a Print PDF.
    For the Form Fields to work, you should choose Adobe PDF (Interactive) Format instead.

    Hope this helps.

19. white overprint with placed INDD

    I stumbled across a strange phenomenon today. I have an INDD file (file 1), which is placed as such in another INDD file (file 2). In this file 1 there is a Swiss cross, which is placed as EPS. If this placed file 1 is exported as PDFX-4, everything looks correct. However, if the file 2 with the placed file 1 is exported as PDFX-4, something strange happens. The Swiss cross disappears in the PDF or the white is set to overprint. However, this is neither stored in file 1 nor in the EPS.

    I have the following
    Option 1: Save CH cross as AI. Works
    Option 2: Re-place link from file 1 to file 2. Fixes the error but not the cause.
    Option 3: Export as PDFX-4, change the PDF standard to 1.5/1.7 or similar and then back to 1.6. Should not change anything, but now comes out correctly.

20. Data Merge not populating fields CC2019

    I use Data Merge for variable data production every day. I am using IDCC2019 v14.0.1. iMac 27 inch late 2013. OS High Sierra 10.13.6. Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5. 16 GB memory.

    This problem started with IDCC2019. I link to .csv for data merge. When exporting to PDF, I choose a record range – for example 1-1000. In the PDF result, the first page is not the first record. It is a random record in the middle – for example, 319. It merges records 319-1000. Then the remaining pages of the 1000 page output are not populated – in the PDF, it will have only the placeholders, such as <<Name>> <<Address>>. This happens sporadically but frequently. I cannot say a similar problem never occurred with an earlier version of ID, but I do not remember ever having this precise problem before CC2019. To clarify – it successfully merges many of the records, but starts with a random record in the middle, not the first. Then the unpopulated records are at the end of the PDF output, and I am missing the records that should have been at the beginning. It is very strange. I cannot provide steps to reproduce the problem because it is a random ocurrence. For starters I would just like to know if anyone else has experienced this same problem. Thank you in advance.
