1. Publish Online: if forbidden character in the document name, the name has to be filled in again

   To me it’s okay that “special characters” are not allowed in the title of a "publish Online" document.

   But if a user gets this message, his/her title is completely deleted and he/she has to fill out the title again. Although there’s maybe only one forbidden character in it.

   Annoying. Any chance to change this?

2. ePub 2.0.1 export creates invalid ePub files

   InDesign creates incorrect ePub in latest version (19.5) when exporting reflowable ePub 2.0.1.

   This is the result of any ePub generated with InDesign from the Draft2Digital Epub validator:

   1. ERROR(RSC-005): /OEBPS/content.opf(2,105): Error while parsing file: attribute "xml:lang" not allowed here; expected attribute "id"

   The "xml-lang=" attribute should not be removed from the "package" tag, as it is not in the ePub 2.0.1 standard.

   1. ERROR(RSC-005): /OEBPS/cover.xhtml(8,38): Error while parsing file: element "figure" not allowed anywhere; expected element "address", "blockquote", "del", "div", "dl", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "hr", "ins", "noscript", "ns:svg", "ol", "p", "pre", "script", "table" or "ul" (with xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg")

   In previous versions of InDesign this was a "<div>". "<figure" is not part of the ePub 2.0.1. standard. This should be reverted to a "<div>"

   1. ERROR(RSC-005): /OEBPS/cover.xhtml(9,110): Error while parsing file: attribute "role" not allowed here; expected attribute "class", "dir", "height", "id", "ismap", "lang", "longdesc", "title", "usemap", "width" or "xml:lang"

   In previous versions of InDesign the "role=" tag was not present. It is also not part of the ePub 2.0.1. standard, so it should be removed.

   These bugs prevent upload of ePubs to all major platforms (CB in The Netherlands, Draft2Digital, IngramSpark, etc).

5. Reflowable EPUB3: "Page Navigation" export option adds a space inside hyphenated words at page breaks

   1. Version of InDesign: 19.4

   2. steps to reproduce

      • create a new InDesign file
      • add a text frame to the blank page
      • add enough text so some words are hyphenated at the page breaks for the next pages
      • export to epub3
      • enable "Page Navigation" on EPUB export

   3. Expected result
      Page navigation markers are added without interrupting the hyphenated words at the page breaks.

   4. Actual result

      When using the "Page Navigation" export option for reflowable EPUB exports, InDesign adds a <span> and </span> tag pair with a blank space character in the HTML export instead of simply dropping the soft hyphen that was present in the print layout.

      Result in the EPUBs XHTML:

      <p class="bodytext">Idel illandia suntusdae quoditint debitatissit quam quamus magnimus es quiaeper elor eper<span id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="2" epub:type="pagebreak"> </span>nat quo con re nimus?</p>

      Another example using English text (from the "Georgia" file in the EPUB3 samples project):

      In my file "georgia", the words "consists" and "headward" are both hyphenated by InDesign as "con-sists" and "head-ward" at the page breaks, but exported to EPUB as

      con<span id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="2" epub:type="pagebreak"> </span>sists

      and

      head<span id="page3" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="3" epub:type="pagebreak"> </span>ward</span>

      respectively, thus displaying as "con sists" and "head ward".

      I am confident that this is not an issue of readers / apps display the EPUB erroneously, as I tested my example files on a PC with Kindle Previewer 3.81, Adobe Digital Editions 4.5, Thorium 2.2.0, as well as on a Kindle Paperwhite via Send to Kindle, a tolino (popular brand of readers in Germany, both with Adobe RMSDK rendering engine and new Readium-based rendering engine), an iPad with Apple Books and a Pocketbook InkPad Color.

      The W3C recommendation for page break markers is not a pair of opening <span> and closing </span> tags, but a self-closing <span/> tag, e.g.

      <span id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="2" epub:type="pagebreak"/>

      which would look like this for the above examples:

      <p class="bodytext">Idel illandia suntusdae quoditint debitatissit quam quamus magnimus es quiaeper elor eper<span id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="2" epub:type="pagebreak"/>nat quo con re nimus?</p>

      con<span id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="2" epub:type="pagebreak"/>sists

      head<span id="page3" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="3" epub:type="pagebreak"/>ward</span>

      Personally, I'd think using a pair of <span> / </span> tags WITHOUT an additional space should work out, too, if you absolutely must use a tag pair for whatever reason.

      However, I would strongly urge you to change the implementation to conform to the W3C recommendation.

      Either way, the current behaviour creates errors on EPUB export which are not present in the indd source file - so please change this as soon as possible.

   5. Test files

      How am I supposed to supply a sample file if I am neither allowed to upload indd, idml, epub or zip files‽

      Since I raised this issue on the Community board first, please go there for the sample files: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/page-navigation-markers-for-epub-interrupt-hyphenated-words/m-p/14636220#M575090

9. Problems with punctuation when exporting Hebrew files to epub

   Using Indesign V.19.5 on a Mac OS Sequoia V15.0.1
   
   When exporting a Hebrew document the punctuations move to the beginning of the sentences. I am unable to upload this book to an online shop. Had been in touch with Adobe support in the past but the issue remains.

10. interactive rollovers

    The Latest version of Indesign (20.0) has some bugs with rollover buttons in the EPUB Interactivity preview.

    Some rollover buttons work (buttons with basic changes made in the rollover state ie font/colour).

    Some rollover buttons do not work (buttons with different images placed in each rollover state) THE ROLLOVER STATE ALWAYS SHOWS, THE NORMAL STATE NEVER SHOWS.

    The 'publish online' documents work fine, this bug ONLY occurs with the EPUB interactivity preview in Indesign.

11. scrolling text frame

    When publishing my file online, a gap appears in the text within the scrolling text frame. (see attachment) The gap seems to be aligned to the place where the text hits the bottom of the container frame. There are no extra characters causing this gap in the text. I had the same issue with a document a year ago, but it looks like this bug is still there.

    Version: Indesign 2025

    Steps to reproduce issues:
    •Paste longer text box into container box.
    •Align content to top left.
    •Use overlays panel, choose "Scrollable frame," Scroll direction: vertical, Initial content position: Upper left, Export Format : Vector
    •Publish Online > Publish

    Expected result: text scrolls and appearance remains same as text in original large content box

    Actual result: text scrolls but a gap appears - in approximately the same location as where the text hits the bottom of the container frame.

    When publishing online, if a user checks the box, 'allow viewers to Search and Copy text in the published document', all the hyperlinks stop working properly. If you're lucky, a link may work the first time you click it, but then it won't work if you click it again (Latest version of INDD on a Mac).

    I have the problem that the export of HTML from InDesign CC24 spits out a completely different structure for the footnotes, now the footnotes are a ordered list, even if the lists are output in text during export.

16. Page navigation counter resets for each chapter

    When exporting a reflowable EPUB from InDesign (19.4), the "Page Navigation" checkbox in Export Options → General generates accessible and usable doc-pagebreak markers and corresponding page link entries in a TOC.

    The minor issue I'd love to see resolved is that the ID counter of page numbers resets back to 1 with every chapter/file when exporting a .indb Book file, making all page numbers mismatched from Chapter 2 and forward.

    Technically, the page links "work" from the TOC because they link to both a unique file and a unique marker within the EPUB. But the page ID#s don't match the actual page numbers that InDesign already knows about from the book file. This creates a huge headache and a mental model mismatch when needing to manually correct EPUB doc-pagebreak markers when pages may have reflowed in the print version, and we've done too much manual adjustment to the EPUB to re-export from InDesign.

    See screenshot of existing export results, and note how the #page1, #page2, #page3 IDs reset for each new chapter. Instead, for Chapter 2 in this example, the page ID should continue in sequence (in both the TOC and markers within the text) with #page11, #page12, #page13, etc. so they correctly match with corresponding print pages 11, 12, 13, and so on.

20. Password protect bug

    The new password protect feature worked fine on the 25th April.
    However I've noticed a bug on a document I was testing today 27 April.

    The same document was showing a 'access denied' page though would allow me to see page past page 1.
    Page 1 would not load.
    The same thing happened on a newly uploaded version of that document.
    The document has 16 pages with animation to the first page.
    This error happened across safari and chrome browsers.
    The document works fine when re-uploaded without password protection.
