  4. There are no shortcuts for important usual actions!

    I can't add shortcut to:
    1. Auto text reflow, in presences panel
    2. Show\hide thumbnails, in pages panel

    Very helpful shortcut !

  7. Indesign 2021 keeps crashing & closing for no reason

    I have been working on the same document for a few days, and ever since the update of Indesign, it crashes at random instances.
    It has crashed when I'm doing the following:
    - Highlighting text
    - Resizing text
    - Moving an image
    - Drawing a shape
    - Just opening the document with inactivity for about 3 mins

    These are small things & it is very time-consuming having to redo things several times.

  8. Adobe indd 2021

    The welcome page has a bug. The filenames are double. In addition to that, we do not get a notice anymore if somebody else is trying to open the same document. Really annoying. Hope you´ll be able to fix it.

  10. v. 16.0 updated backwards to v. 15.1.3

    Hi! My team and I uses InDesign on an everyday basis, and today we ran into a problem.

    A few weeks ago we updated InDesign to the newest version (Version 16.0) - but this morning our Creative Cloud told us there's been a new update and then it updated automatically to 15.1.3?

    We tried to open one of our InDesign files, but it told us that it has been created in a newer version and wanted us to update to that version (Or we could just convert our files and maybe face the consequences of losing some of our content).

  11. 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.

  13. Datamerge Trims Spaces

    I just noticed that Datamerge trims leading and trailing spaces from text columns in CSV files when merging. The resulting text doesn't have the proper spaces on either end, even though the spaces are present in the CSV.

    This is problematic because if you have two text fields that are being merged in the same text frame without a line break, you can't include a space at the end of one or the start of the other to be inserted between them. You can put a space in between the placeholders, but that won't achieve the desired result if the…

  14. Active adobe fonts are unstable.

    16.0 x64 - I have been experiencing issues with Adobe fonts, where I can't edit them. For example, resizing to a larger font value or even adding more text. The font (or the entire text box) will completely disappear or it will switch to a default font even though the correct font is chosen. The only way to correct it is to close the document and restart. But it doesn't mean the font will be stable. I don't seem to have this issue with locally installed fonts.

  17. won't open 2020 indd file

    Won't open Indd 2020 files when doubled clicked. Can't make Indd 2021 default program to open InDesign files. Have to open using File > Open menu. All InDesign files have blank white page icons next to them (windows 10). Uninstall/Reinstall doesn't fix problem.

  20. Upgrade InDesign v 15 to InDesign v 16

    I have an Adobe creative account where I worked on Indesign v 15 a few weeks ago, but for a few weeks now when Indesign v 16 appeared, I can't upgrade to the new version.
    The message is "you do not have a compatible Windows system" although my version of Windows is Windows PRO 10 version 2004.
    Why can't I upgrade?
    I am enclosing the configuration of my computer and the error message that appears to me.
