    Neither my Publish Online dashboard nor any of my documents are loading in a browser anymore. I just get an error "This site cannot be reached".

  2. Nav bar size change ruins my web app layout

    Adobe have recently made the Nav bar at the bottom of the Publish Online interface fatter, unfortunately for my company, this means a carefully crafted web-app now has the Nav bar covering the lower part of my menu. It also on some PO documents, stays popped-up for much longer than 5 seconds, sometimes on single page documents, up to 15 seconds.
    Adobe say this is because they wanted to improve accessibility, but really they're messing with a space that shouldn't keep changing, as per the margin around PO documents they added earlier in the year. Improve the products - yes,…

  3. Having issues updating files which are published online.

    Hi there, I am having problems trying to amend (override) an already 'published online' indesign file. I really liked the capability of this function as it means that other sites where my file is embedded, do not need to be updated and I can go directly to the source without the html link changing. Version 17.3

  4. Publish Online - Hyperlink download lässt sich in Chrome nicht öffnen

    Hallo,
    hier wurde eine Diskussion zum Thema Publish Online und einem möglichen Bug geführt: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-interaktiv-hyperlinks/m-p/13042834

    Es geht darum, dass integrierte Download Hyperlinks in Publish Online in Chrome und Edge nicht richtig gedownloaded werden können.

    Die Downloadlinks an sich funktionieren (z.B. in Firefox) in Chrome und Edge öffnet sich leider nur ein leerer Tab und kein Download beginnt.
    https://indd.adobe.com/view/eff43047-dc7b-4048-ade4-369cfe76592a

    Könnt ihr das einmal nachvollziehen und eventuell beheben?

    Vielen Dank & Grüße
    Gina-Marie

  5. Image copyright notice in EPUB exported images removed by ID

    If you create an InDesign ePub that contains images with copyright notices, inspection of the exported image files within the EPUB (ie. OEBPS/image/*) shows that the embedded images have had the copyright notice removed.

    Ideally, copyright messages should be retained throughout the export process.

    The TIFF source file has an IPTC Copyright message.

  6. epub doesn't support the none color. Since it has no colour it needs to output in a way that it is not displayed to the user.

    Erub doesn't support the colour "None" which I use when I need to hide text from a document. [ And seriously it would be MUCH easier if you allowed people to post files created in YOUR tools to user voice. You look like you don't care. ]

  9. EPUB export converts nonbreaking hyphens to regular hyphens

    EPUB export converts non-breaking hyphens to regular hyphens. This behavior should be corrected immediately and export a non-breaking hyphen in an InDesign document to a "& # 8209 ;" HTML glyph.

    This glyph, when inserted into an EPUB XHTML content file via manual editing, is respected by most EPUB readers including Thorium. There is thus no standards-based reason to convert these on export.

  10. Adobe Digital Editions bug in Windows

    Fixed-format epubs created by InDesign (17.2.1) show correctly in Adobe Digital Editions (14.5) on Mac (OS 12.3) but incorrectly in Adobe Digital Editions (14.5) on Windows (10). I have attached screenshots that show the difference. I was unable to upload the original files.

  11. ID 17 English LTR document with any RTL text exports as RTL epub

    I edited this to remove the urgent notice. The publisher does not want to publish this book as an epub.

    The basic problem remains, however.

    When exporting an epub 3.0 from an academic book written in English with some RTL text sections, typically tables with Hebrew and English text, the epub exports in reverse order. That is, the title page is at the end of the epub, and the last page of the text is the first in the epub. So far it seems that the presence of any RTL elements, even a single character, causes the epub to export…

  12. Swipe gesture not working in Android Chrome.

    Swipe gesture not working in Android Chrome.

    https://helpx.adobe.com/us/indesign/using/publish-online.html
    Among the contents of the above page, "Smoother page transitions with swipe gesture improvements" is specified.

    However, the swipe gesture function works normally in IOS-based browsers, but does not work in Android-based browsers (Chrome).

    Very inconvenient for Android based customers/clients.

    To go to the next page, touch the bottom of the screen to bring up the navigation menu/button that disappears every time, and then press the "next page button". The customer/client should repeat this behavior on every page.

    This is a very serious bug and must be fixed asap.

    I've tested it…

  13. navigation

    The navigation bar at the bottom of the screen is visible as soon as we hit a key.
    It is a bit annoying when you use this tool to make a presentation..
    Can we add an option to hide it ?

  14. Publication Analytics

    We need reliable analytics on epublished documents to show to our clients. Over time we update the documents and for some mysterious reason the "Originally Published" date is wrong. How am I supposed to know if the numbers are from the update I made a week ago or or from our first publishing last september. And no... There are no dublicates of that document.

    INDD 2019 v14.0.2 x64.

    I have an INDD book. I export the book to PDF and everything is fine. I export it to ePub and many things go wrong:
    (1) spacing between words goes haywire. This appears to happen when they are Small Caps.

    (2) Certain characters are missing and not rendered - for example ḷ, ṇ, ṃ, ṭ, etc.
    (3) Footnote hyperlinks are no longer working.
    (4) ToC hyperlinks are not working.

    I attach both PDF and ePub files. System doesn't let me attach epub or zip files si I renamed epub file to "Udana-Master-epub.pdf" - please change file…

  17. Bug affichage éléments graphiques

    Bonjour. Je rencontre un bug d'affichage à l'export avec Publish Online. (cf pj) Je ne sais pour quelle raison sur toutes mes publications, le graphisme est découpé de façon étrange une fois publié, alors que sur le PDF tout est OK... c'est très embêtant car les usagers pensent qu'il y a un problème sur les documents alors que ce n'est pas le cas... Je rentre ce problème depuis plusieurs versions d'InDesign.

  19. Error 39 - An error occurred while uploading your document. Please try again.

    Hey all,

    Really seeking some help or guidance here, we've been experiencing issues with all of our users attempting to upload/publish a document within InDesign (This is occurring with all InDesign files and on all machines I've tested so far).

    I have performed a fresh installation into a virtual machine running Windows 10 (10.0.18363.1854) and version 17.0 of InDesign where the issue is occurring also.

    I have followed https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/upload-error-publishing-indesign-document.html#sa_src=web-messag... however disabling network proxy is not an option as we're an enterprise environment.

    I can see 200's for reaching the endpoints mentioned in various Adobe support documentation however I have…

  20. Bullet/number markers included in adjacent hyperlinked text when exported as HTML

    When exporting content containing bulleted/numbered lists to HTML (using the Bullets/Numbers: Convert to Text option in HTML Export Options), bulleted or numbered list item markers that are immediately followed by hyperlinked text get included with the text inside an <a /> tag. It would be more predictable (and easier to format with CSS) if the bullet/number markers remained outside of the <a /> tag.
