PDF/vector rasterize fail
Pdf rasterization has been bad for many years, a long time ago I reported this problem with complex graphics when thin lines appear in the image when saved to jpg. Previously, at least a pdf from indesign could be opened in photoshop, which had a different rasterization, but it has been the same for a long time, and when rasterizing SOME pdfs, it always creates thin lines in different places depending on the resolution...
Here is a sample QR directly generated in indesign when saved to jpg and in the preview in the application shows these thin lines!!!

No warning about missing links when exporting to jpeg or png
If I have a document with a missing link, I get a warning when exporting to PDF that there are missing links. If I am exporting a jpeg or a png of the same document, I don't get any warnings at all about missing links and simply get pixelated graphics in the output.
Exporting to a bitmap image should have the same warnings about missing links that exporting to PDF does.
- InDesign 18.4 (Windows), but this has been the case for several versions now.
- Place a graphic, then move the linked file so that it shows up as missing. Export…

JPG exports render horizontal "rips" in the image
Exporting an image as a jpg is bugged and renders horizontal rips in the image. Easily seen in this photo of power lines. Compare with a png-export which looks fine.

export row
InDesign 18.3 x64 Windows
When exporting PNG images, INDD errs on the side of light exports at edges vs. rounding to a surrounding black level as demonstrated in the attached PDF.

CMYK JPG export does not preserve the correct dpi export information
To demonstrate this bug, I've made an A4 landscape document as shown in image 1.
If I export this to an RGB PNG using the settings in image 2, the image exports as expected and all figures - including the ppi - are correct as shown in image 3.
If I export this to a CMYK jpgs using the settings in image 4, the image exports but the expected ppi of 300 ppi is incorrect and it has exported at 72ppi, though the pixel dimensions are correct (shown in image 5).
If I export this to an RGB jpg using…1 vote -
Bug: Quality issue when exporting 72dpi jpg from InDesign
Sudden quality issue especially around text when exporting 72dpi jpg from InDesign vs exporting 300dpi jpg from InDesign then opening in PS, downsizing to 72dpi and exporting as jpg again. Mainly on Vector text but also noticable in images especially when creating gifs. Noticeable pixelation around text edges.
Examples and export setting screen shots below including side by side comparison (original 72dpi InD export left + 300dpi InD export reduced to 72dpi in PS right).png
Running macOS Monterey on Mac Studio 2022 & Latest InDesign 17.4.
Has only happened since the latest software update. This happened a few months back…

Linked Image Canvas Resampling Pixelated Issue
When a linked image canvas size greatly exceeds the image frame size, the linked image is pixelated in both the InDesign preview and the PNG export. JPG exports do not exhibit this issue.
Please note in the attached images two different linked PSD files. The file on left is cropped to the extent of the rasterized letter 'a'. In the file on the right, the rasterized 'a' has the same pixel dimensions as the first, but the Photoshop document canvas is much larger. This results in a poorly resampled PNG export.

Image quality of exported JPG/PNG very low for InDesign 17.2.1
Since the latest update, exporting image files is virtually impossible and creates very low images. See attached for comparison between Photoshop and InDesign exported files. This issue may be caused by a problem with the Nvidia Studio Driver and the lates update for InDesign. The same problem occurs when exporting a highres PDF and then Exporting from Acrobat to an image file.

On Export - "Save As" name field not consistently highlighted by default
- 15.1.3 version
- Open InDesign, open file, click on a page, CMD E to export.
- Expect "SAVE AS" field highlighted to be able to change export name, as with previous versions.
- Sometimes nothing appears to be highlighted, taking hitting TAB several times to get to the "SAVE AS" field. However, sometimes it is highlighted - so this is not a consistant problem - as sometimes it does come up highlighted. It does seem that when I first open a file / export - that it is not highlighted, but after that, it does come up correctly highlighted.
This is not a…

JPG 300dpi export with horizontal lines
When I export photo albums as JPG with the latest version, some images have horizontal lines. I've had the problem since macOS 10.14. (now catalina) and with older Indesign versions. If I change the size or position of the image, the stripes may disappear. If I use the DPI e.g. set to 301, the lines will also disappear.

Export Jpeg to nas, the file sometimes weighs 0kb
I have a IMac under macOs BigSur version 11.4 with an Intel processor, the version of Indesign is 16.3.2, when I export a newly created or existing Indesign file in a JPEG format to a NAS, sometimes my files will be 0kb, i don't understand why and it's random.
I put the screenshots in order so you can see my problem.
and I don’t have that problem when I export directly to my desktop.Thanks

PNG Export Quality
There is a huge difference in the rendering quality of JPEGs vs PNGs in InDesign.
See attached document that demonstrates the difference between the two formats, exported from the same InDesign document, using maximum quality, 72 DPI with anti-aliasing turned on.
The obvious differences are the moiré in the white top and the edges of the legs in the girl at the bottom, including the fine detail in the stitching.
It would be great if the PNG export engine could be improved.

Transparent PNG Export generates dark lines in the half transparent shadow regions
InDesign 16.2.1
Trying to export transparent PNG files from InDesign from a page with a transparent PSD source, results in PNG files with dark lines in the shadow region of the exported png.
When deselect or select the "simulate overprinting" checkbox before export, the lines may disappear and the exported png is as expected.

InDesign jpg Export
When I export a jpg from InDesign (16.1) (it doesn't matter if I export it in low or high resolution) the exported jpg shows some "glitches". This error occours only if I export pixel images. I can fix this when i copy the content from the InDesign file into a Photoshop file and eyport it from there… but this workaround is pretty annoying.

EXPORTATION JPEG - GESTION DES COULEURS
- L'exportation jpeg ne tient pas compte des pseudonymes du gestionnaire d'encre.
- Le résultat de l'exportation jpeg ne tient pas compte non plus du type d'encre utilisée (transparente ou opaque). Le premier point à été résolu par un script, merci de l'inclure dans les fonctionnalités d'Indesign. Le deuxième point n'a pas pu être corrigé, merci de faire le correctif.
