SAVE
I’m using version 20.2 in English. I open a document, make changes and save. The SAVE AS window opens and tries to save without success. I need to save in another location and replace from the desktop. The translated window is this:
Unable to save the document. The document may be open in other applications. Close any other applications and try again, or use Save As to save it as a new document.2 votes -
Skewed Images when opening saved file
After I make an InDesign document, if I don't make a PDF copy before quitting out of InDesign, the entire document containing placed images and text is lost when I quit out of it. Having the PDF allows me to see what I had done in InDesign, but I can't of course update or alter the PDF.
I tried tossing out the preferences (shift+control+opt+command (mac) while launching InDesign) and it didn't change anything, it's still giving me skewed images.
Any idea why this is happening, and how to fix it? I don't even know what to call it. It's a…

I cannot adjust the tracking by increments of one when clicking on the the arrows.
In Adobe InDesign's Character Pallet, I cannot adjust the tracking by increments of one when clicking on the the arrows. I use to be able to just yesterday and now I can't today. How could that be? Did I click something or accidentally press a hot key?

Multi-Lingual Data Handling
This is a suggestion for a new feature for people using InDesign for multilingual purposes.
In India, we may need to use 3 languages at the same time, for example, in addition to English, we may need to use the national language Hindi and the regional language Malayalam, Tamil or some other language. In other countries, sometimes even more.
When we try to make changes to a paragraph or chapter using different fonts in different languages, we often have to select and change even one letter to change the font in each language. This greatly reduces the joy of using…

Crash/Error Reporting & (non)Solutions
I have been using Adobe products since the beginning. After a crash, I have not ever once had the Error Report that 'searches for a solution or workaround' come back with any solution—working or not. Has anyone ever had a useful solution or workaround come back? Just me?? I am guessing it is still valuable to send the reports, although not sure about that either.

When moving files from one folder to another a message says "Preparing to move"
Indesign 20.1, MacOS 15.3, M4 Pro.
The message persists for about 1 minute and then the file successfully moves. This only happens with Indesign files. I've tested with files from version 20.1 and version 19.5. Both of these produce the issue. My older files created in version 18 work fine. I can move them with no problem.1 vote -
Bug: Cannot cancel or requeue background tasks, ID keeps activating fonts for good
Indesign 2024, Windows 10.
Problem 1: even with Adobe Fonts being activated, ID 2024 starts to activate fonts it finds in \Fonts folder, doing that for good and the tasks cannot be canceled.
Problem 2: other tasks, like PDF export, are then queued and cannot be processed at all unless you could move them up the queue, which doesn't work.2 votes -

It's January 2 and all my recent files (updated within the last couple weeks or month, meaning December) are showing up as being from "1 year ago" which is not quite true.

Cursor clicking and dragging when only clicking.
When just clicking somewhere on-screen (e.g. clicking a different swatch colour or clicking on a text box), sometimes the cursor will click and drag the item as well. I have tried multiple mice (3) and still have the same issue with each one, making me assume it may be a software issue.

provide tool to manage external cross-references
I am responsible for maintaining and updating a long manual with many cross-references. Most of these cross-references are internal to the book collection, but a significant minority reference specific sections in other books that make up the manual or specific sections in other reference documents external to my organization. The ability to use the cross-reference tools to manage internal cross-references is a godsend. Manually tracking external cross-references, however, is extremely tedious and mistake-prone. Obviously it would not be possible to provide hyperlinks or automatic updating for external cross-references. However, I would still like a way to keep track of them…

Index type range bugs
I specifically have my problems with "To Next Use Of Style" and "For Next # Of Paragraphs"
To Next Use Of Style
The adobe guide specifically says that the range is until the NEXT use of the specific para style but if the paragraph that contains the index marker is the same as the intended end of range, it only recognizes the first page. It counts the current para style aswell.
So if I want to i.e. make an index marker on a bridgehead with a range until the next bridgehead, I have to put the marker to the beginning…
