1. Export as InDesignMarkup (IDML) ignores the color profile

   When exporting an indd-file as an IDML-file we've experienced a problem. In the original file there's an embeded a specific color profile (ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI)).
   If we check the exported idml file we found out that InDesign ignores the specific color profile and resets the profile to it's standard profile (U.S. Web Coated (SWOP)) - which is not the desired profile and not suitable for our european print environment.

   That was the reason of some color problems with some printing stores or agencys we're working with in the past.

   At this time we couldn't find a solution or workaround for that... so we ask the developers to fix this as soon as possible.

   Do you need anything else for the solving of this issue.

   Thank you in advance!

3. Idml export issues

   I have a file that won't export a fully formed .idml file. Here's my setup.

   MacOS Mojave 10.14.4
   InDesign 14.0.2.324

   Steps to reproduce: export or save one particular file as .idml format; open resulting .idml file.

   Expected result: file should open as a new document.

   Actual result: an error dialog pops up saying the file cannot be opened, with the error 'not well formed.'

   This only occurs with one particular file, but it occurs on any Mac used to export the file, and with InDesign version 14.0.3

   I have also tried to open the CC 2019 file in CC 2018, and export an .idml from cc 2018, but I get the same error opening the file.

   To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.

   We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding : Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.

   We recommend you to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2020 (if you’re not already on it). It contains a lot of stability fixes.

   If you still face this issue even after updating to the latest version of InDesign, please submit the crash report to us. (The guidelines to submit crash are available at (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/submit-crash-reports.html)
   We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.

4. Conditional text is not applied correctly after line break in IDMLs

   If Unconditional text follows a line break where another Paragraph Style is applied with Conditional text, making an IDML out of the document will change the Unconditional text to Conditional.

   Please see example screenshots.

5. Space converting to line break in .idml

   Imported Word documents sometimes include invisible character Unicode 2028. In InDesign CC2018 and in Word it looks like a space. When exported to .idml and reopened in client's CS6, it is converted to a Forced Line Break, which is problematic. Can you set 2028 to convert to a space in .idml?

6. Embedded PDF/AI images causes documents created from IDMLs to double in size

   File size almost doubles when exporting an INDD document to IDML and then re-save it as an INDD if it has embedded PDF or AI images.

   Create a new InDesign document.
   Place a PDF/AI image in it.
   Embed the image in the InDesign file.
   Save the InDesign file.
   Export the InDesign file to IDML.
   Open the IDML and save it as an INDD document.

   The resulting INDD document will have a file size of almost double the size of the original INDD document. This affects all versions of InDesign (CS6-CC2019) and embedded PDFs created in different applications (Illustrator, Acrobat, Preview).

   If this is caused by an extra preview of the image being attached to the INDD document, there should at least be an option to "trim" the INDD document.

   Attached are three test documents: original, IDML and the resulting INDD document.

   File size almost doubles when exporting an INDD document to IDML and then re-save it as an INDD if it has embedded PDF or AI images.

   Create a new InDesign document.
   Place a PDF/AI image in it.
   Embed the image in the InDesign file.
   Save the InDesign file.
   Export the InDesign file to IDML.
   Open the IDML and save it as an INDD document.

8. "Preview images" not updated or created in certain circumstances

   Description: The previews are not updated in the following cases:

   • When the file is saved in IDML file format (you need to save in in INDD format before)
   • When the saving options are changed (under "Preferences > File handling") and the file is saved. You need to save the file with another name or make changes in order to have InDesign updating the previews.

   Basically, from our tests, the preview images are only generated when the file is changed and saved in INDD format.

   1. Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
      13.1 (but past CC releases were also impacted)

   2. Steps to reproduce the issues

   • Change the preview images options (under "Preferences > File handling")
   • Save the file

   1. Expected result
      The previews are updated taking the new settings into account

   2. Actual result
      The previews are not updated, ignoring the new settings

   Description: The previews are not updated in the following cases:

   • When the file is saved in IDML file format (you need to save in in INDD format before)
   • When the saving options are changed (under "Preferences > File handling") and the file is saved. You need to save the file with another name or make changes in order to have InDesign updating the previews.

9. IDML Table style EndColumnStrokeType attribute missing

   When an Alternating Column Pattern is created in a Table style any value for Type does not get exported to IDML.

   I would expect to find the EndColumnStrokeType attribute, but it is never created. The equivalent StartColumnStrokeType, StartRowStrokeType and EndRowStrokeType attributes do exist.

   The missing attribute is not documented in the IDML specification PDF.

   Using version: 13.1 x64

10. Paragraph Return is changed into Paragraph Separator (U+2029)

    Version: Indesign CC 2018 and Incopy CC 2018

    The bug as described on https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2344905 still exists in the latest version.

    During the exporting INDD into IDML, the error below occurs.
    Certain Paragraph Return (\r) is changed into 'PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR'(U+2029) and the first sentence’s paragraph style is changed into the paragraph style of the second sentence which makes two sentences into one.
    Every time this bug occurs, we have to open the INDD file and change “U+2029” into another character such as “space” and export it again.
    Finally we found out that this error occurs when 8000th character is “Paragraph Return (\r)”.
    When 8000th character is “\r”, it is changed into “U+2029” automatically during exporting it to IDML. (it seems that it occurs every 8000th character: 8000th, 16000th …)

    This also occurs when working in Incopy CC 2018 and is a real pain when creating books.

    The expected result is a end of paragraph that's not being transformed in a character.

11. ICML export doesn't include <HyperlinkPageDestination> elements

    (Affects all versions of InDesign that support ICML export)

    Export the story in the attached document to ICML. Delete the story in InDesign and then re-import the ICML. The Hyperlinks panel shows "The referenced paragraph or text anchor is missing".

    This is only a problem for the ICML export of internal links. Hyperlinks to pages in external documents are exported correctly. The information is also correctly stored when saved to IDML.

16. IDML custom page sizes

17. Numbered list gets corrupted when saved and opened as idml

    Version: Indesign CC 13.0 x64 Windows (and Indesign CC 2017)

    1. Create 2 paragraphstyles
    2. For ParagraphStyle 1 set bullets and numbering To List Type 'Numbers' and name it 'Multiple Choice' (or something else) and Level 1
    3. For ParagraphStyle 2 base it on ParagraphStyle 1 and change the text color
    4. Create some paragraphs with different combinations of these styles.
    5. Save as idml
    6. Open the idml
    7. Look at the paragraphs of the second paragraphstyle, you will notice that paragraphStyle 2 has a numbering of his own and no longer the mix with paragraphstyle 1.

    Expected result: Same as before the save to idml. A list with a. b. c. d. e.
    Actual result: list looks wrong like a. a. b. b. c.

    It only happens when the second paragraphstyle is based on the first style. But working with styles that are not based on eachother is going back in time.

    Attached you will find the correct indd that you can save as idml and see the result.
    Also I added 2 screenshots, 1 correct, 1 wrong after idml.
