Bug Buttons and forms
Indesign 2020 - MacOs 10.13.6
in order to make an interactive PDF, I first created my bookmarks and then my buttons.
Yesterday I programmed them all with the "hit target" function to go to the desired page. Everything worked.
Today, I reopen the document and half of my buttons got deprogrammed, they are all with my 1st bookmark on the list.
I was still on the CS6 a week ago and it all worked perfectly!
In order to deliver my client in EMERGENCY, I have to save in idml and bring out my old Mac with CS6 to finalize it.…1 vote -
Placing Word-document imports wrong language for built-in style names
Versions affected:
InDesign CC2021 (and older).Steps:
1. Use a non-english Word-version to make a Word-document.
2. Use built-in styles to style text. For example "Overskrift 1" ("Heading 1" in Norwegian).
3. Save as .docx
4. Save as .doc
4. In InDesign, Place the two Word-documents (including styles/formatting)Expected result:
* Both documents import with the same style names they had in Word ("Overskrift 1").Result:
* The docx places the text with the style name "Heading 1" (wrong)
* The doc places the text with the style name "Overskrift 1" (correct)This makes round-trips via Word problematic. We are…

Submit form
Hi, I don't know if this is a bug with InDesign or Acrobat, but when exporting an Interactive PDF, the "Submit Form" button crashes InDesign. The button appears set up correctly. It's supposed to email the results of the form to an email address, but instead it crashes Adobe Acrobat..

harfbuzz
Compile Harfbuzz with Graphite support enabled.
InDesign 2020 uses Harfbuzz for complex script rendering. Harfbuzz has the capability to use Graphite instructions for rendering complex scripts, but Adobe has compiled Harfbuzz without Graphite support.
Graphite is needed for rendering some character combinations used in languages which are not supported by other font technologies.

Data merge and EXIF
Presumably this is a bug. If you place a portrait photo from a camera in an InDesign document, InDesign will respect the EXIF information included with the file, and orientate the image accordingly.
However, if you use Data Merge and import photos dynamically via an image field, those same photos will be imported with the incorrect orientation, i.e. it ignores the rotation specified in EXIF. This can be very laborious to correct if not all photos are taken with the same orientation.

Cmd-O or Cmd-N doesn't work after InDesign starts up.
This has been an annoying bug for a while. If you open indesign, then use the command-O or command-N key to open/create a file, nothing happens. You just get an alert sound.

Opening ID files from server: Missing required parameter
I've been using my Apple Time Capsule connected to my WiFi-Router as a wireless HD for a couple of years now. Since I updated to Mac OS 11 (Big Sur) I cannot open InDesign (v 16.0.1) files directly from my Time Capsule. I get an error which should translate to something like "Missing required parameter "form" for method "open" (see attached). When I copy the file on my desktop everything works like a charm.

Find text plays an error sound when I press Return, even though it finds the text
I have been working with indesign for a few months and already sent in about 10 bug reports. I feel like everytime I open the program I find a new issue. My colleagues say I have a knack for crashing programs or finding issues. I have a very similar problem with PS. I'm really frustrated with the UI and I can't imagine I'm the only one. I know this is a long shot, but feel free to contact me if you need a bug-spotter, because it feels like I found a lot already. And I have more issues that probably…

Paragraph style outline cuts through text
After reopening chapters I sometimes find the outline of a paragraph going through the text instead of below it. I can't relyably reproduce it, but it has happened several times.

Cannot delete empty pages
I have empty pages at the end of my chapter. There are text frames on them, because they got created automatically. There is no content in the text frames. If I delete the page, it's gone until I scroll, then it re-appears. If I delete the text frame, the page duplicates itself. I've seen the issue described in the forums, but the solution is such a hack.

Indesign Links not Updating after double clicking
Indesign links not updating even after double clicking the link and the image where the link isn't updated. This used to work as usual in the last versions of CC. Currently using Indesign CC v.16. I have to close the program completely to have the link display correctly.
What I did was: I edited an image with the photoshop clicking in the right-click menu inside Indesign. Then when I came back to indesign it doesn't update. This has happened for the last months.

Unable to Save Document
Indesign 15.1
Opened file I have worked on before. Added some text. Went to 'undo' an action and couldn't with key command or 'Edit>Undo'.
Then thought I would try and close out of Indesign and restart to see if that helped. Tried to save file. Could not save file with key command or 'File>Save'.
Options—Save, Save As, CheckIn, Save A Copy, and Revert—are all grayed out and unusable, as well as many options under the Edit menu as well.-

Reopen last closed/unsaved document(s)
You should be able to reopen the last closed/unsaved document(s) in case you accidentally close a document and click "Don't Save."
The Chrome browser has a similar feature: "reopen closed tabs." And Google Docs allows you to view and restore all previous versions of a document.
With Indesign, if you accidentally click "don't save" the document is gone forever, according to the support person I spoke to. You can't find it in the archive folder and you can't "undo" that either.
I was on deadline and accidentally closed a large car dealer ad with 20 cars in it and in…

metadata delimiter
Hello, This is to report an ID behavior that constitutes a bug (to my thinking). This behavior has existed in every version of ID that I'm familiar with from the beginning through CC 2021. Documentation states that you can use any delimiter character you prefer in File Info. But it doesn't tell you that it will change your delimiters to semicolons as soon as you hit OK on the File Info dialog. This has been a thorn in my side for many years. I produce periodical scientific journals using InDesign as my layout tool. And ID is awesome for that.…

Data Merge not populating correctly when placeholder curse overflow
When using Data-Merge with an .txt/.csv and using export as pdf, indesign (still) merge the fields wrong (only use the first data-entry), if the placeholder and not the data curse an frame-overflow.
Detailed description:
You have a textframe with enough space to place the string "888", but not enough space to place "8888".
You have a .csv table with a colum named "number" and values from "1" to "999".
You select the file with data-merge and get a placeholder "<<number>>" and replace the "888" with it. Now you got a frame overflow.
You select preview, and all values (1 -…12 votes -
