  1. Publish online doesn't work properly in chrome browser on new mobile devices (android)

    Hi there,

    We have published an interactive document with Indesign "publish online" feature. It works flawlessly in every browser, except in Chrome on some new mobiles phones with Android (not possible to go back or forward through pages or zoom). On the contrary, Interactivity and videos work properly.

    We have the last indesign version (2021. Creative suite)

    What's the problem?
    Thanks in advance

  4. Inability to process transparency effects in rollover button states.

    I want to create a rollover effect for my TOC. It's a three page TOC. There are almost 200 listings. I cannot make every line a button. That would be crazy. So I wanted to just place the text on one layer, and a 50% transparent box that is a button that appears on rollover. But evidently that cannot be done? How else might I handle this?

  5. Problem with the display of the navigation bar on an Android smartphone and tablet of a document published by publish online

    Hi all,

    I have a strange situation with a document that I created in InDesign and then published online using "Publish Online". From there I got a link to share.

    On the desk, everything is fine. But the problem is with Android devices where the options tab with next page, previous page, download button and others disappears after a few seconds and there is no way to get it back.

    It is not possible to navigate between the pages of the document.

    This is the bar with the options I am talking about in the attachment.

    Is there something that…

  6. Interactive "Go to Page" destinations don't update when pages are added or removed from document.

    One of the possible interactive actions in a document is "Go to Page." I can have a button jump the Publish Online view to a different page in the document. Unlike EVERY other page-related function in InDesign, the page number designated doesn't update if a page is added or removed between the button and the target page.

    Example:

    I set a button on page 3, that when clicked jumps the view to page 10. If, later in the document creation/editing process, a page is deleted between these pages, the view still jumps to page 10, not page 9 which is…

  7. publish online doesn't respect layout

    I can't drop screenshots for confidentiality reasons, but the proportions of objects in the exported 'Publish online' site don't match proportions in the inDesign document.

    -images are strangely blurry even though they have more than enough resolution
    -online objects not aligning with where they appear to on page in working doc, and scaling/cropping within their boxes differently too.

  8. publish online

    When I try to view my published document, I just get arbitrary website information such as below. The same issue when I try to view my Published documents dashboard.

    {{pageDetails}}
    {{docInfo.map.documentName | limitTo: (isTouch ? 30 : 80)}}{{docInfo.map.documentName.length > (isTouch ? 30 : 80) ? '...' : ''}}

  10. Email Hyperlink Breaks

    In the Hyperlinks panel, Email hyperlinks that include a subject that includes an ampersand will change from an Email-type to a URL-type when you click OK. Status will then appear as a red dot in the Hyperlinks panel instead of an envelope. Opening it again from the Hyperlinks panel will show the subject gone and in a URL format.

    TO TEST - Highlight text in your document. Open the Hyperlinks Panel. Create a new hyperlink with the [+] button at the bottom of the panel, choose email as the type, type a valid email address, then enter a subject line…

  11. Export to ePub / html removes single characters from class names randomly

    On export to ePub and / or html (on Windows 10 64-bit), single characters are removed from class names. This appears to happen randomly (as shown below), but consistently (the same tags will have the same errors after closing and opening the document, after quitting and restarting InDesign, after restarting the computer, and whether exported as ePub or html).

    – span class="Colour" becomes span class="Colo r" (set on character style)
    – h4 class="Event-Month" becomes h4 class="E ent-Month" (though h4 class="Event-Date" is OK) (both set on paragraph style)
    – span class="Link" becomes span class="Lin" (set on character style)

    These same errors…

  12. Problème d'accès à Publish Online

    Je n'arrive pas a voir mon tableau de bord de mes document Publish Online. Lorsque je les publie à partir de InDesign, je suis capable de feuilleter mes documents, mais il m'est impossible de voir l'ensemble de mes documents publiés. Ça ne présente qu'une page blanche (voir image attachée).

    Some changes were done as a part of the Security review. As part of that review, Special characters are no longer allowed in the Title field in Publish Online starting with InDesign 2021.

  14. Publish Online menu inactive after one use

    Indesign 16.0.2
    When you go to the menu File/publish online it's works the first time you use it. But, 5 minute later when you want to update your publish online document the menu File/Publish Online option is inactive (grey).
    I must quit Indesign, relaunch it and after that, the menu File/publish online is active.

  15. Publish Online Image Scaling Issues

    I'm running into an issue where images don't render at the correct scaling for Publish Online. See screenshots.

    The image types affected appear to be PNG and SVG images. I can fix this by re-exporting the image as a JPG but that is a massive waste of time – we use SVG images heavily to keep file sizes down. If they don't scale correctly in Publish Online, it makes the feature basically useless for us.

  19. InDesign version 16.1. Hyperlinks interactivity function not working properly.

    When creating hyperlinks within a document, certain links, although functioning within the hyperlink panel, do not translate as links when published online or as an ePub. This is completely random, as other links set up in exactly the same way (often on the same page) work fine. Have tried everything I can think of to fix the issue myself but can't figure out why it is happening.

    Steps to recreate the issue:
    1. Set up document
    2. Set up multiple hyperlinks (mine are objects rather than text)
    3. Preview in interactivity panel and/or publish online

    Expected Result: Links should be…
