page numbers incorrect
My Book has multiple InDesign documents and 2 sections. Page numbering works fine except where the first doc in the main section is concerned. When I change the order in the Page window by dragging docs and dropping them between others the page numbers change to reflect that. When I try to change the order of the first two docs the one which was second becomes first but retains the old page numbers. The one which was first is now second but its page numbers begin with page number 1. See video.

Cross reference page number not appearing
While attempting to populate page numbers as cross references the leading text shows up, but the area where the number itself should be appears as a narrow blue box with a pound sterling icon beside it. An attempt to create a new document to test and only importing a couple of elements has cross references crash the program as soon as they are created and applied.

ID attempts to rewrite the book file instead of saving it
When I finish working on the chapters of my book and close everything, while closing the book file ID asks me whether I am sure that I want to rewrite the book file. I am only asking to save the file, not to overwrite it. This happens all the time, on different computers and versions of the app.

Table auto numbering in a book doesn't work
I am using the latest in the cloud version of InDesign (Jan 28 2021). I am constructing a book. Some files have tables. The style for the caption is set to number continue from previous number. But it is not working within the book.

Index sorting in Book-document in Danish/Norwegian
I'm using InDesign version 16.0. There is a problem with sorting alphabetically when using Danish/Norwegian with Book-function. This only happens from the second letter and on.
The first letters in words sort correctly.
Here's an example for the letter Ø, which should sort after Z and Æ:
‘Tørres’ is sorted before ‘Torstein’ (which means ø is here sorted under o). This only happens when sorting an index from two or more documents linked with the Book-function.

Paragraph style when grouped with an object loses link on ePub export
A TOC for image captions that are grouped with their images can be created in ID, but when the document is exported to ePub, the TOC links are non-functional. This is true also for cross-references linked to the caption style. They function properly in the document (were one to move the grouped image, the page reference would update), but the links are non-functional when the document is exported to ePub.

InDesign book has .INDD file extension
I noticed that in v. 15.1.2 an InDesign "book" file no longer has the .INDB extension, but is now an .INDD. If that is intentional, Adobe needs to update the User Guide at https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/user-guide.html/indesign/using/creating-book-files.ug.html
1 voteThe issue is not reproducible. InDesign Book has .indb extension.

Adding "Current Page" marker to TOC targeted paragraph doesn't use page numbering format
InDesign 15.1.2
Using "Current Page" in text that will be used for the TOC ignores page numbering. If I start a section on page 5, the TOC shows page 1 even though the "Current Page" on the specified page is correct.1 vote -

Suggestion -book (choice of layers)
I produce several multi-language books & brochures that consists of up to 114 separate documents linked via a Book file. Each language has its' own layer with the same name in all documents while other layers are exclusive to, or only exist in some documents. Currently when I have to Print or create a PDF of a specific language I have to open every single document to activate the layers I want visible, save, and then proceed to output the entire book.
I would like to propose that Indesign incorporate an additional tab in its' print/pdf dialog boxes that lists…

Toc bad intraction with buttons
Hi. I've been having quite a bad weeks because of this. A large catalogue with multiple "indexes" (I manage to made TOCs for differents styles, so I have some "indexes" done) . BUT, when I put them with some interaction buttons in other file of the book, the interactive buttons stop working.
I try the new 15.1 update, but it was worst!1 vote -
missing links in books
When printing or exporting books to pdf InDesign tells me where to find text overflows. But missing or changed links are only mentioned as "there is a missing link somewhere in this document".
So please tell me where is this missing link.1 vote -
unable to move TOC in ebook
I am unable to move the TOC from the back of the book even though I put the TOC in front of the book after copyright. When export the book the TOC is still in the back or front of the book and often first pages are moved to the back of the book. Sometimes the entire order of the book gets changed.

[obj] tag appearing in contents of pdf on Windows
We sometimes use inline images in section titles that are styles used for TOC generation. These "objects" do not appear in the generated pdf bookmarks, so we type the missing words in by hand. An [obj] tag, however, appears in the bookmarks of the generated pdf when viewed on Windows, even though it is not visible in InDesign (and not visible on Mac). This tag needs to be removed or at least made visible in InDesign.

Lock and Pause the Resynching in a Book
It would be extremely time and frustration saving if I/users could lock/pause/disable the resynching process. The lock could be manually released once I have re-ordered the chapters in a book as I like them, Then I can allow updates and resynchs to happen en masse rather than whenever I make the tiniest change to the order of the chapters.
You see: I write textbooks with exercises at the end of each chapter. Often these exercises are taken from previous books I have written. I then customise them for the current book according to the client's requests.
Once I have imported…

Book / Index
Indesign 2020 15.0, Indesign CC 2019 14.0.3, Indesign CC 2018:
Crash when generating the index in a book with many chapters.
The book has 156 chapters (from 1 page to 30 pages) - when updating the index reproducible crash.
The book has 822 pages.Every time I sent an error report - no reaction. I think it depends on the number of documents.
1 voteHi,
Please can you share the sample document with which the crash can be reproduced?Thanks

Excluding nummering of numbered paragraph titles in TOC does not work when a script generates TOC
Current behavior:
The TOC style specifies to exclude the nummering of numbered paragraph titles (NumberedParagraphOptions.EXCLUDE_NUMBERS).
However, when the TOC is generated by a script via a call to createToc(), the TOC includes the nummering of numbered paragraph titles.Expected behavior:
The TOC excludes the nummering of numbered paragraph titles, as specified in the TOC style.When the TOC is updated manually afterwards, the nummering disappears.
When Googling for this problem, I saw that this issue was mentioned in the old archive. See attachment. Unfortunately, that archive is not available anymore.

Ability to Add more than One Page at a Time
I have a "large" technical textbook, in my case 20 chapters and at least 22 indd files, if I wnt to add a page or two to an existing chapter, each time I click the new page icon, it takes a while for InDesign to reassess page and section numbers. Ten clicks of "new page later", it rather timeconsuming.
How about an option, similar to adding rows/columns to a table, that allows you to specifiy how many pages you would like to add?
At the moment, adding 10 pages means watching it update section numbers 10 times.
Kind regards
Mike…1 voteYou can use the ‘Insert Pages…’ option from the Pages panel flyout menu to add many pages at once. You can also specify where you want to add those pages.
Does this work for you?
