1. Indesign is freezes when a window opens.

   Using Indesign Version 20.3.1, Whenever I open any pop up menu (e.g. paragraph styles, text frame options, Export window), Indesign will freeze and I get the spinning wheel on my Mac running macOS 15.4.1.

   It happens maybe 1 in 3 times and I have to force quit indesign and reopen.

   I have tried Resetting settings and preferences
   Uninstalled and re-installed Indesign (this helped for about a week) then it started again.

   I've never had this happen before and now it is driving me insane.

2. InDesign Help redirects to Adobe Tutorials Webpage Instead of Showing Tool Location in Menus

   I use InDesign a lot, but I don't always remember the location of EVERY tool. Sometimes I just forget the submenu it's in, and go to the search bar so it will show me where the tool is in the program. For some reason, in InDesign ONLY, it will instead redirect me to the Adobe Tutorials website. Often it doesn't even have a tutorial for what I'm looking for, or it takes me to a completely unrelated tutorial.

   This means I either have to read through the whole tutorial and hope that there is an image of the submenu with the tool I need, or I have to google it and find another tutorial. Or, I can go through every menu and submenu one by one in indesign. Even though I have used this program for years my ADHD means I will often forget exactly where a tool is even though I use it a lot. And it's a huge, HUGE disruption because instead of instantly finding the tool, it takes me 5-15 minutes to find something that wouldn't even be an issue in any other program.

   I am NOT on MacOS, so the language/region issue does not solve it for me. I'm on Windows 11. I am so, so frustrated that this small, weird bug/glitch/choice is SUCH a huge interruption and it hasn't been fixed FOR YEARS.

4. Invisible toolbox

   When opening an existing file (by clicking on the file before opening Indesign), the toolbox on the left appears as an invisible rectangle. It only works properly if the file is closed and reopened from InDesign.

5. Email hyperlinks work once, but cease to work after clicking envelope link in Hyperlinks Palette

   When clicking an email link in the Hyperlinks Palette, the email does, in fact, spawn my mail application (Mac Mail) and the email and subject line are correct.

   However, when I return to Indesign to further edit the email link, and then I double click on that hyperlink in the Hyperlinks Palette, the email is no longer visible...it drops out.

   Additionally, the email is not available from the list of links (those links, BTW, are not shared links).

   And...the link, when I double click it, changes position in the list of hyperlinks, making it difficult to track what link you're trying to edits. This is particularly vexing when you're trying to edit auto-converted URLs which have names like "Hyperlink 97, Hyperlink 98, Hyperlink 99"---when the position changes, it's not clear if your edit to the hyperlink name is reordering due to A-Z...OR, if it's just jumping around in the list for no reason.

   PLEASE FIX!!!

   Here is a link to a video I made showing the issue:

   https://www.loom.com/share/9537c83e7bba478db57f3c6cbc3b667a?sid=0386085a-201b-4919-9f6d-1ef347818c9f

6. Placing Images mac photos cant access album structure

   Hi All,

   when placing images into indesign (commmand d) then selecting images in the finder like window (technically speaking this might be the ilifemdiabrowser plugin from apple) , i cannot access the photos library album strucutre anymore. When going to movies (filme) i get the menu where i can choose the subfolders, with images (bilder) it does not work. Further, when trying to choose media (top menu on placing window) it cant access it. I suppose it is some kind of issue with adobe not getting access to the os photos system. I tried solving it in the mac settings, but it is not possible to grant indesign access to the photos library. When installing indesign i got a message asking if indesign could access downloads and desktop, but it didnt ask for other folders or places.
    
   Same issue with photoshop. Other software on the mac (pages, word) are able to access it correctly, therefore showing the album strucutre from photos.
    
   This used to work on Mac osx 12.7 and Indesign 2023
   Just updated to OSX 15.4.1 and the problem occured (tried both indesign 2023 and indesign 2025)
    
   Any ideas are much appreciated.

7. Blank screen and forgotten workspace settings

   I cannot believe we are still dealing with blank screens upon returning to an open InDesign document and I CANNOT believe we are still having to reset our Workspace settings almost every time we boot the app. I'm using version 20.3.1 and NONE of these things have been fixed. This has been going on for over a year through countless updates. Worse, it causes the unbelievably annoying popups to keep happening. If ID remembered my workspace settings from one boot to another I wouldn't have to deal with this.

   Stop with the high school level coding and fix these long standing issues once and for all. Jesus.

8. pdf to indd conversion has no opt out

   INDD version 20.3
   Mac OS 15.4.1
   Hardware: M1 Pro 32GB RAM

   The beta feature that allows InDesign to convert PDFs does not belong in the core application. I've accidentally clicked on a PDF once or twice when trying to open my INDD doc and it takes forever for this thing to do the unwanted conversion. The cancel button does not work. I suspect it's communicating with the cloud to perform this operation, so the question is: Why is it built into Indesign? Can it not be placed in Express or Creative Cloud or somewhere else where it doesn't disrupt a person's workflow?

   If a feature like this is going to be rolled out to all users of InDesign, regardless of their needs and wants, it should at least be easy to opt out. I'm not a UI expert, but my suggestion would be to add a menu item to the drop down in the Open dialog that lets users designate that only INDD files should be opened from there. That may not be the best suggestion, but the point is: always consider how annoying it can be to use software, and, when your designing new features, make sure you're not introducing another layer of annoyance to professionals who are just trying to get their work done.

9. [ID-4263189][CPU Mode][MAC]Selection of objects does not register immediately

   I am trying to use the new 2025 version of InDesign - but it is really unusable. Running latest version (20.3) on Macos (15.4). Mac Studio with M2 Max CPU and 32 GB memory.

   One major issue I am having is that when I select a text box, it will actually not select the box until I move the mouse again. I click the box and nothing happens. When I start moving the mouse - it suddenly gets selected. If I do not move the mouse - nothing is selected - until I move the mouse. This makes it impossible to use.

   I've seen some tip on Document Font folder or Contextual Task Bar or Magnet app - but none of those are relevant for me.

   InDesign 2024 version works fine and it does not have these issues.

   I did a test on my Macbook Pro (Apple Silicon) - and no issue there - even using the same mouse as on the Mac Studio.

   I see some posts that Adobe has fixed InDesign with latest update - but that is definitely not correct...

   I uploaded a video to YouTube showing the issue. In the video one can see the pointer icon changing to the selection symbol when I actually click, but as you can see, the text box is not actually selected until I move the pointer.

   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erPZA0_w7gM

   Workaround:
   - Switch to GPU mode
   - Downgrade InDesign to v20.0.1.032

10. change/find resets

    When using change/find option, the behavior is typically that the search will cycle to the next instance of the found text, however, in 19.3 on a MAC running Ventura 13.7.2 (22H313), the search will find one instance, then grey out the change/find button and not continue to the next instance -- even though other instances of the text exist.

11. Can't open or place files from Windows Explorer

    Updated to most recent version of InDesign (Beta) and Photoshop (Beta), and still can't open files by double-clicking in Windows Explorer. I also cannot drag-and-drop files from Explorer to either Adobe program. If I have a document open in InDesign, I can't drag-and-drop to place. The ONLY way I can open files in either InDesign or Photoshop is to use Open from the file menu. This is VERY annoying and time consuming.

12. variable weight font issues - STILL with 20.1

    Re-posting this issue with more screen shots. Variable weight fonts will work 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time, they do not and give you incorrect output or unusable output, with no error warnings. This example had the first PDF output substitute the blocky serif font Bitter with another font, without any warnings or errors. The second PDF output has the correct font, but the letter forms have issues at the vertices, which make them untrappable. Converting them to outlines and then merging the path objects is the only way to get correct outlines of the charcters.

13. Multiple Issues

    I've noticed three glitches very recently in Adobe InDesign 2025. #1 - Seems like every other time I open the print dialog box to select the printer I want to use, the printers are in a different order in the list. #2 - Often times, when I open a document, my keyboard shortcuts won't work. I have to close the document and then re-open it to get them to work. #3 - Most frustrating is, I start to create a new document. I enter the document size into the New Document window and when I hit the Create button and it opens, the document is a completely different size than what I entered.

14. Lag in 20.0 and higher

    The lag in 20.0 and its updates is hard to stomach. We pay a lot for this app and it is VERY difficult to work with these issues. Evey time I click on something in a document - no matter how large a file - there is lag. Text boxes, images, color shapes/boxes. I have a brand new Mac Studio with Apple M2 Ultra and 128GB Memory - I have more than enough power to support your app. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE. I have tried all of the troubleshooting offered to no avail, and I shouldn't have to trouble shoot to make it function properly.

15. Preview on GPU disappears; restarting only resolution

    Problem: Workspace turns into a blank outline in Preview on GPU.

    Occurrence: When switching between windows or after returning to an open InDesign file after having a pause.

    Solutions: Restarting InDesign.

    Toggling between CPU and GPU does not work. Selecting and de-selecting GPU in preferences does not work.

16. Moves with arrow keys do not apply to objects if cursor is hovering over a link

    1. Place an image or a PDF in an InDesign file
    2. Create a text frame/shape/any object
    3. Select the object you just created with direct select tool (keep it selected)
    4. Move your mouse to hover over the link so that the center circle link highlight shows. Do not select the linked image, just hover over it.
    5. Press and hold an arrow key to try and move object.

    In CC2024 19.3: If I hover over a link with my mouse, the selected object moves as expected with the arrow keys.

    In CC2025 20.2: If I hover over a link with my mouse, the selected object does not move with the arrow keys. Only when I move my cursor off the link will the selected object move (or jump to catch up to my previous use of the arrow keys)

    This is a very annoying bug as when I'm trying to adjust objects, I'm not consciously picking where I "park" my mouse in my layout as I adjust objects. This slows down work considerably and might unintentionally create errors.

18. History panel erases undo option and history steps (behavior different from previous version) and

    The history panel seems to be limited to 5 actions. Additionally, with the latest update (20.2), if you access the history panel at all, it overtakes the Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z function for undo/redo as it has worked in the past.

    When the history panel is opened, it selects the most recent action. Even if the panel is closed, whatever is done after this point erases all the other actions, so that you are left with "open" as the previous step. Edit>Undo (Ctrl+Z) is disabled, and you can no longer undo work.

    Additionally, steps will sometimes combine themselves without any user action. (i.e. while documenting this, in between image 3-4 no action was taken except to switch between InDesign and the screen capture program). Switching in/out of InDesign erases the ability to undo work.

    If you type 6-7 characters, you can no longer undo anything prior to that. Open the history window, select a step, then place something.... undo is now limited to the place action; all other history steps are erased (as well as Ctrl+Z undo/redo steps).

    This is a huge step in the wrong direction.

    There are seemingly no settings related to history (unlike in Photoshop where a number of steps can be preserved). Iteration/layout experimentation is critical in InDesign and this update removes the ability to do that without incessantly creating a snapshot every time you do something or type more than a few characters.

19. Urgent Bug Report – Inability to Set Save Location for AI-Generated Images

    Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

    I am writing to report a critical flaw in InDesign’s AI-generated text-to-image functionality that severely disrupts workflow, particularly in collaborative environments.

    Currently, InDesign automatically saves AI-generated images to a local drive without giving users the ability to specify a save location. This is completely inconsistent with InDesign’s core functionality, which relies on linked assets rather than embedded files. When working in a team—especially in networked environments where assets are stored on a NAS or shared drive—this oversight makes it impossible to maintain proper file linking. As a result, when multiple designers are collaborating on a document, exports fail due to missing links.

    This is the only time InDesign has ever had such a problem with asset management. Every other workflow allows users to control file paths, ensuring seamless collaboration. The fact that AI-generated images are treated differently makes no sense and creates unnecessary roadblocks.

    Adobe must address this issue immediately by allowing users to set a preferred save location for AI-generated images, just as they can for any other linked asset. Until this is fixed, the feature is fundamentally broken for professional use.

    Please escalate this as a high-priority fix. InDesign is an industry-standard tool for collaborative publishing, and this implementation of AI-generated images contradicts its entire workflow philosophy.

    Looking forward to a resolution.

20. Section Symbol only displays SS

    I have a series of sections defined in my document. When I insert a type --> special character --> symbol --> Section Marker, the result is only the "SS" symbol regardless of what section it is in or what modifiers I put on it to assign it a value (i.e. 1, 2, A, B, etc). I see that this was a bug back in 2020 but I'm running current build as of 3/13/25. Please advise if this is a user error or a continuous bug/how to correct. thank you
