  1. Problem with Variable fonts - some glyphs are displayed with a lighter weight on changing axes.

    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.

  2. InCopy: Notes in text shifting randomly when exported as PDF.

    InCopy version 18 and 19.

    To recreate the issue : add a note to any point of a text paragraph in InCopy and export the document as PDF. This results in the note (yellow sticky note) shifting randomly within the PDF document.

    What should happen is that the yellow sticky note should be in the area of where the note was initially anchored in InCopy, after you export it as PDF.

  3. RTL in Indesign 2024

    I'm from Israel and use Adobe Cloud English supports Hebrew.
    In InDesign 2024 (19) I see a bug, that the alignment to RTL does not work correctly. Even documents created properly in 2023 (18) appear distorted. The Hebrew text loses its position in relation to punctuation marks, numbers and foreign letters.

  5. Image Path Data Merge Is Ignored

    InDesign 19.4 for Mac (Sonoma 14.5)

    After the latest update, the data merge is not longer working properly for image files. While, in some cases, the paths to the images is correctly resolved and the images are embedded, the same data file that has worked earlier this year now creates an issue, so that images are not shown after data merge.

    Instead of using the path given in the data file, InDesign now searches for the images in the folder where the data file is, ignoring the path name in the data file.

    Moving the images into this folder works…

  7. Footnote: Problems with Small caps when using World-Ready Paragraph Composer

    ID 23 and 24: When the Footnote Text Paragraph Style has World-Ready Paragraph Composer enabled, then there is a problem with formatting in the first line of the footnote: Starting from Footnote 10, the problem appears. When Small Caps is applied (via open type font) then the style is applied to 1 letter before the styled text range and 1 letter at the end of the text is not styled as should be. So the staling is shifted for 1 letter regarding the applied style. When the footnote number is 3 digits, then the styling is shifted by 2 letters.

  8. GDI Handles

    Indesign 19.5 x64 does not cleanup GDI Handles on Windows 10 build 19045.4529, version 22H2.

    This only occurs when the feature 'Turn on Overprint Preview' is enabled, and you start scrolling. When you disable that feature, you can scroll again without the GDI Handles being hogged by Indesign. The handles rae, after the feature is disabled, not released.

    A 28 page project, and a scroll up and down trough the project, costed me almost 600 GDI handles, and when I'm at 10.000, Windows just stops serving new ones and Indesign will crash.

    Expected outcome: GDI Handles do either not increase…

  9. Indesign 2024 Unable to Recognize Variable Fonts from Documents Created with Previous Version

    InDesign 2024 (v19.0) fails to recognize variable fonts from documents created in previous version. Specifically, Helvetica Now Variable weights and widths are reported as missing. Running MacOS Sonoma (but the same system opens the file without issue when using InDesign 2023… can’t be an OS issue.)

  10. Hide Frame Edges

    I'm working on Windows 11. I'm not sure what the InDesign version is but I just bought it two days ago.

    Everything has been smooth so far but when I needed to hide the Frame Edges I met this issue. From what I found out there are two options: View > Extras > Hide Frame Edges or simply Ctrl + H

    Neither case worked.

  12. style from word not recognised

    When I, in a word document linked to Indesign add a style which begins with the name of anther style, followed by a comma (no space) and more text, InDesign does not recognise that this is a new style but instead treats it (and calls it) by the other (shorter) style name. Workaround is to e.g. use an underscore instead, but it took me quite a while that is was this issue that caused the strange indesign behaviour.

    Trying to open some files from File Explorer or within InDesign: Adobe Creative Cloud message states: "InDesign could not open "[file name]" because it has been created in a newer version - Adobe InDesign 19.4. You can convert and open this file but you may lose out on content created using the features specifgic to the latest versions. For the best experience, we recommend updating InDesign to the latest version." I am always updated since I use the auto-update feature for all products.

  15. QR code clickable

    Hello. I have an idea regarding the InDesign program. It would be great if the generated QR codes in the interactive PDF were clickable. Is it possible to implement this? Currently, I manually assign hyperlinks to each QR code.

  16. Indesign 2024 not working with window-snapping apps

    I recently upgraded to InDesign 2024. I use BetterSnapTool to arrange my app-windows in order to have a efficient and practical workflow. But InDesign 2024 does not work with BetterSnapTool (BST) or any other window-snapping apps due to this reason I received from the BST support:
    "Unfortunately all window manager apps on macOS are affected by this, Adobe has broken their window resizing behavior in their recent updates. Their products do not respond correctly to window resizing requests using the macOS Accessibility API anymore. As of now I don't think there is anything I can do to fix this. If…

  17. # in URLs of Hyperlinks in Hyperlinks panel is substituted with %23 when opened in browser from panel

    Hi together,
    when working with hyperlinks with URL destination an URL like:

    https://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/HTML/Elemente/a#Siehe_auch

    will not be transferred to the browser as is when the menu command "Go to Destination" is used or if the "green" bullet in the panel is clicked that indicates a correct and connectable hyperlink destination.

    Instead character # will be substituted with %23 like that:

    https://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/HTML/Elemente/a%23Siehe_auch

    The implication could be two-fold:
    [1] The browser could show an 404 error
    [2] The browser could not navigate to the named anchor and the view of the page is showing the top part of the page.

    The URL above…

  18. misaligned InCopy Galley/Story cursor when World-Ready composer and inline notes are used

    The cursor in InCopy's Galley/Story view is misaligned when the underlying paragraph style specifies a "World Ready" paragraph composer AND inline notes precede the cursor in the same paragraph as the cursor.
    Steps to reproduce:
    - Launch InCopy 2023
    - Make a new document.
    - Enter text for two paragraphs.
    - Make a paragraph style for the first paragraph and specify the "Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer." Apply that style to the 1st paragraph.
    - Make a 2nd paragraph style based on the first, but specify the "Adobe Paragraph Composer" (i.e., NOT World-Ready). Apply that to the 2nd paragraph.
    - Insert…
