1. Placed illustrator .ai color dodge layers in Indesign don't display/print correctly

   Placing .ai stock files which have soft 'color dodge' layer highlights display and print as hard masks in Indesign. The solution I've found is re-saving the file as an EPS. Attached is a sample image (.ai on left, .eps on right).

2. text

   I am having text problems when regular text is near an image and the text which is within the boundary box of the image then text prints out bold. It does not appear bold on screen and the font is definetly regular but ive done some test and where the boudnary image box over hangs into text it then prints out bold mid word or wherever the image boudnary box is. This happens on psd images which have been deppetched and have no background.

3. Clippingpath inset

   I don't really know if its a bug or a feature:

   If I set an inset for a clippingpath (made in Photoshop) by for example 3mm, it sets the inset based on the scaling of the image. Means: if my image is scaled by 50% the inset will only be 1,5mm. As I have a document with multiple scale ratios it is not possible to maintain a coherent inset amount.

   I use the clipping-path frame to generate a cutting contours for stickers which all have to have a specific inset to avoid "blank streaks".

4. illustrator pattern

   1. Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
      Illustrator 22.1 Mac
      InDesign 13.1 Mac

   2. Steps to reproduce the issues
      i. Create a pattern fill in Illustrator with some part of the pattern using an overprinting fill or stroke in the Attributes panel.
      ii. Place the Illustrator file in InDesign.
      iii. The file does not preview unless Overprint Preview or Separation Preview is on.

   3. Expected result
      The file previews normally and objects below can be seen through transparent parts of the graphic.

   4. Actual result
      The graphic does not preview. Objects above (yes, above) the graphic are hidden as well. It only appears in Overprint Preview or Separation Preview. If the pattern fill is expanded in Illustrator or all overprints are removed (but keeping the graphic as a pattern) the graphic appears normally.

5. missing dialog box

   When i clicked on the effect (example; gradient feather) for my image, there is no dialog box popping out. I'm unable to click on other tools and I've to use the escape key to close the 'invisible' dialog box before I can use the other tools. Hence, I'm unable to apply any effect on my image.

   I'm using the Indesign CC (13.0.1) on Windows.

   It feels like it's a programme bug. I've tried to reinstall the programme but it still persists.

   Please assist.

6. paste illustrator path

   Copy/pasting a stroked path from Illustrator works OK only if the stroke is centred on the path.

   If the stroke is set in Illustrator to align with inside or outside of path, inDesign pastes a closed shape. Means to get an accurate path you have to changed the stoke alignment in Illustrator, then copy/paste, then change the stroke alignment back in inDesign...

10. text wrap detect edges

    ID 13.1 x64, Win 7, AI 22.1 64 bit
    Text wrap w/detect edges may not detect text in AI file, may not detect shapes well. Have AI file with graphic and text placed in anchored frame in ID doc. If set to wrap around shape, detect edges, text in ID doc runs through text in AI graphic. Also (noted in in forums ) text may not wrap around white or nearly white shapes in AI graphic.

    Thanks for reporting the issue.
    Is this an issue only in the latest/recent release? What was the experience in older versions of InDesign?

12. Graphic Frame Text Wrap in Find/Change Object

    I'm running InDesign 12.0.0.1 (2017) on mac OS 10.12.6 (Sierra). I was originally trying to write a script to automate changing text wrapping on all graphic frames in the active document to wrap to the largest area (TextWrapSideOptions.LARGEST_AREA). When I couldn't get a script that should have worked to function properly, I decided to try automating Find/Change Object queries. That's when I discovered that the manual queries weren't function. Allow me to elaborate:

    Here's what I want to do:
    Change the "Wrap Options > Wrap To" setting (TextWrapSideOption) for all graphic frames to "Largest Area" (TextWrapSideOptions.LARGESTAREA). This should really only have to apply to those graphic frames set to "Wrap around bounding box" (TextWrapModes.BOUNDINGBOXTEXTWRAP) and "Wrap to contour" (TextWrapModes.CONTOUR).

    Here's the problem:
    It only works if the graphic frame is set to "Wrap to contour." If the graphic frame is set to "Wrap to bounding box," then it either reports "Cannot find match," or it purports to have found the objects and have changed them, but does not actually change their text wrap modes. I've tried specifying the "Wrap to..." setting in the Find/Change query and many other setting (which are all unnecessary, if the graphic frame is set to "Wrap to contour"), and nothing works.

    I've scoured the internet, and even my not-inconsiderable Google fu has turned up nothing on this problem. I have, however, reproduced it on several machines in my office. For your reference, I've included a set of screenshots from various simple queries and their results. With the help of an expert, here's the script I developed that should have done the trick:

    var doc = app.documents[0];
    
    var allGraphics = doc.allGraphics;
    
    var allGraphicsLength = allGraphics.length;

    for ( n=0; n<allGraphicsLength; n++)
    
    {
    
    allGraphics[n].textWrapPreferences.properties =
    
    {
    
    textWrapSide : TextWrapSideOptions.LARGEST_AREA ,
    applyToMasterPageOnly : false
    
    };
    
    };

13. Edit with other - doesn't see Photoshop as an application

    I use the Indesign feature on the links menu to Edit With, either using the default application or another. We just updated to the latest CC (ps, il, in) and the other application isn't the same. For any jpg or pdf, it shows Photoshop or illustrator or Acrobat as available to open the image selected. However, if I select an ai. file, it shows Illustrator as the default, and Preview as another option - no Photoshop. I select Other to add Photoshop, go to the applications folders, click on Photoshop and it's only seeing it as a folder, not as an application.

    From a finder window, if I click on an ai. file, choose open with other, go to the applications folders, select Photoshop it does see it as an applications and allows me to open the file.

    It was a very useful, speedy way to edit images in either illustrator or photoshop using the Edit With in Indesign.

    Why doesn't it work now? Why does Indesign not see Photoshop as application anymore?

14. Images with same name confusion

    We've had a couple of instances in the past month with InDesign documents linking to different images that happen to have the same name and are in 2 different file locations. It seems that in some instances, InDesign will take it upon itself to relink the wrong images even though those images haven't been touched (either on the file system or in the InDesign file). There has been one occasion where this happened and it wasn't spotted until the document was printed with the wrong images in and today someone noticed while working on the file that an image had changed.

    If it helps, these have both been images copied directly out of a .docx or .pptx file where you rename the file .zip, decompress it and then you can directly access the images from there (which happen to be called image1.jpg, image2.jpg, etc.)

17. Auto-Fit tick box does not work and has no effect when placing images into a Frame or Rectangle

    I am using InDesign CC 2018 V13.1. In previous versions the Auto-Fit tick box worked just fine. With CC 2018 it does not. When placing an image into a Frame or Rectangle, ticking the Auto-Fit tick box has no effect. The image is placed into the box at full size. I then have to resize the image manually or using the Fit Content To frame button. I teach InDesign at Cambridge University and this missing feature is confusing for beginners. Please let me now how to rectify this issue.

19. 'Move Pages' causes the position of content to shift to the right on right-side pages, master same for both files

    'Move Pages' causes the position of content to shift to the right on right-side pages, even though the master pages are the same for both files.

    I am trying to take several page sets and combine them in one file, but I have to manually fix them after moving the pages over. Very concerning as I'm not sure if anything else is breaking or getting lost in the move.
