Problem with Variable font weights.
Some variable fonts works as expected, but for some, the font displays at a lighter weight (perhaps regular?) when the weight is set for anything heavier than about 750. It appears that the heavier weight's metrics are used.
In my my limited test, the weight prints properly.
I'm on a 27-inch, iMac 2020, Mac OS 13.5.1, InD 19.

Since I've updated my mac mini to Sonoma, when I use InDesign, the documents flash every time I click on it. If I click and hold, the screen become completely white. This is very annoying, almost impossible to work.
Please help me!

59 votesHi everyone,
This issue started to happen with the latest macOS Sonoma. We have raised this with Apple to see if they can fix this in one of their upcoming updates of macOS Sonoma.
Since this is dependent on a fix from Apple, we request your patience while we work with them to find resolution for this issue.
Meanwhile, if possible, try to attach a High Resolution Monitor (like a 4K, 5K) to your Mac machine & switch to GPU (gets enabled by default) as the GPU feature is available when your Mac machine has a compatible GPU and it is attached to a High Resolution monitor. If any of these conditions are not met, GPU feature is disabled..

Adobe InDesign 2024(v19.0) - Users are facing issues while scrolling using Trackpad/Touchpad
I have installed the upgrade to Adobe InDesign 2024 (build 19.0) while keeping version 2023 (build 18.5) and have encountered the following problem:
- After opening a document, the mouse scroll wheel does not seem to work (i.e. it is not possible to scroll up or down the contents of a page). However, this condition still works in InDesign version 2023.
Has anyone encountered the same problem and found a solution?
16 votesHi,
We have been able to reproduce the issue and it is currently under investigation.
Workaround : Use USB mouse instead of Trackpad/Touchpad

18.4 and 18.5 exported PDF corrupted
Hi guys,
Our books are printed in house with Xerox Nuvera 288 Presses. We recently faced this issue, and tho it should be addressed in 18.5 updated, we're still facing the same problem in 18.4 with 18.5 (Images attached below) where the whole book is printed out, but have left a single page blank.
In this example, this page 85 went blank every time we ran it through the press when exported with 18.4 and 18.5, but got no problem with 18.3. This error also happened to 9 out of 10 book titles (exported with 18.4 and 18.5) that we…

The link is set to "anyone with link can comment" but it's still requiring a password
I have created a share for review link for others to comment on, however it's requiring them to log into an account even though it's set to "Anyone with the link can comment". This was not the case before, others could comment as a guest. Using InDesign 2024 v19.0.1

InDesign Middle Eastern 2024: RTL paragraph becomes LTR after inserting Forced Line Break
When inserting Forced Line Break inside a Right to Left paragraph direction, although the text direction is defined as "Default", it becomes a "Left to Right" and change the paragraph direction to Left to Right without showing it. When selecting it, it still shows that the mark is in default direction and that the paragraph direction is Right to left although it is not.
In Indesign 2024, Middle Eastern Version with Hebrew definitions (Right to Left paragraph direction, Language), open a new document, draw a right to left text box and fill it with place holder text.

Scrolling is glitchy or nonfunctional in InDesign 2024
Scrolling with a mouse (not the trackpad) through a document vertically or horizontally works, but not always. Zooming in by holding Alt and then scrolling is unusable because trying to zoom in causes everything to zoom all the way out, and continuing to try to zoom in only works sometimes.
I have tried this with multiple mouses, and the issue does not occur in any other program, including InDesign 2023.
In the attached video, I am holding Alt and trying to zoom in.

When you wake up, open documents are not visible on the external monitor. Everything is just greyed out.
If I put my MacBook Pro to sleep with work on an external monitor, when I turn it on at another place with an external monitor, all open documents are grayed out and do not display any object. The objects are selectable, but I can't see what's in them. Switching display modes, minimizing or dragging between displays doesn't help either.

"Insufficient data for an image" error is shown on opening PDF in Acrobat
We are experiencing issues with exporting to PDF. Hi res PDF Compatibility Acrobat 7 (PDF 1.6).
The PDF is created normally, but when opening the PDF, it sometimes happens that the image is not displayed on one or more pages. The error message for this specific page is: ERROR: Insufficient data for an image.
We tried to solve this problem within our team. Eventually, we discovered that the issue did not occur for one of our colleagues. Further investigation revealed that this colleague was still using an older version of InDesign (18.3). The colleagues experiencing problems had automatic updates enabled…15 votesThis issue has been fixed in the latest release of InDesign - version 18.5 that has just been made available publicly.

Copy and Paste from Share for Review Comments panel not working
You used to be able to copy/paste directly from the REVIEW panel COMMENT when you recieve feedback. Now it wont allow you to copy what someone has reviewed and suggested as replacement text. This is very important as it makes it much more efficient to copy it from within InDesign rather than swapping between screens to do it from the browser. Please can you fix this! Thank you!

We'll update the status here once we're able to find a resolution.

You have screwed up Hebrew in InDesign 19.0.1
There are several very serious bugs with Hebrew that I have reported in Bug ID-4244890
- you cannot select diacritics.
- when diacritics have mark to mark positioning, the positioning changes.
The above two very serious bugs can be solved by running your script hidden on your website that disables the harfbuzz engine.
- periods that appears at the end of a Hebrew sentence, especially if there is an English word, disappear when exporting to pdf.
- Hebrew sentences that have a number of English words can display incorrectly in InDesign with the pillcrow appearing in the middle of the line and when exporting,…

update to v24
For as long as I can remember, dating back to the early single-digit versions of Adobe products, it was advised to make separate backups of user settings that were often found in obscure directories on a user's own computer. I dared to trust Adobe this time around, hoping that the update to version 24 of InDesign and its option to delete old versions, would respect the user settings that I so painfully put together. FAIL. Adobe failed to maintain them and deleted them from existence. Adobe should be putting a disclaimer on their update process to prompt users of all…

2024 lag
InDesign 2024 is lagging a lot—there's a delay in response when clicking onto a text or content box to edit the content. Even moving from page to page (at typical or fast display) there's a lag.

Replaced text (when using Track Changes) in a table will crash InDesign/InCopy 2024 when switching to text views
To recreate (See attached images):
- Create a simple table in InDesign and add some content to one cell, then activate Track Changes.
- Select the content and replace it with new content, then select to switch to "Story Editor".
What occurs:
1. InDesign will completely freeze up and needs to be forced to quit.
2. This will also happen (in the same set up) if you are using InCopy and switch to either "Story" or "Galley" view.Comments:
It seems that this is triggered by the graphics that highlight the removed/new text. If you are not showing the colors in any…7 votes -
PAC 2021 Error for InDesign generated PDF : Object reference not set to an instance of an object
I am still getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object when testing pdf files in PAC 21. This error apparently relates to 'PDF Export using ZIP compression for images shows an “Insufficient data for an image” error on opening in Acrobat.
This was supposed to be fixed in ID 18.5 but its now happening with every PDF I check for accessibility, even a single page with simple text.
Working for local government and its imperative our PDF files exported from ID are fully accessible and tested. Seek an urgent fix.
