Inconsistent metadata display for Photoshop EPS vs TIFF in Links panel
When placing raster images exported from Photoshop into InDesign, there is inconsistent metadata shown in the Links panel between TIFF and Photoshop EPS formats.
Using the same source image exported as both TIFF and EPS (CMYK), InDesign displays full image metadata for the TIFF (including Actual PPI, Effective PPI, dimensions, ICC profile, and transparency), while the EPS only shows basic file information and omits all image-specific data.
Since the EPS in this case is a raster image generated by Photoshop as supported natively by InDesign, it should be interpreted similarly to TIFF and expose the same metadata. I remember this…

Assets disappear when dragging off the page onto the artboard.
Version 21.1 x64
Assets disappear when dragging them off the page and onto the artboard. This also causes the the preview to ignore everything outside of the bleed effectively eliminating the artboard entirely. See attached.

bug: share for review panel shows previously opened file instead of current file
When doing an "update content", the Share for Review panel is frequently showing the previously opened file instead of the one currently being worked in, even if that previously worked on file is closed. You have to close and restart the whole InDesign program to reset the panel so its correct.

Hi,
bei mir gibt es immer eine Anzeigefehler. Trotz neuen Rechner und Neuinstallation tritt dies auf.
Eine Hilfslinie oder Seite verschiebt sich zu Teilen um einen minimalen Absatz. So ist eine richtige Ausrichtung nicht möglich. Außerdem wird der Text oft verpixelt angezeigt.

InDesign Crashes When Placing, Relinking, or Modifying Object Layer Options
I've been using this process for years with placing specific Layer Comps from Photoshop in InDesign, but lately it's been crashing when Placing, Relinking, or modifying Object Layer Options.
I don't know if this is a computer issue or InDesign bug. I'm running Windows 11 Enterprise, 32GB 8400 MT/s RAM, Core Ultra 7 265H, and 8GB RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell.

Lots of problems with fonts on InDesign (21.0.1)
InDesign is not recognizing the fonts we previously used in version 20.5. When opening documents in version 21.0.1, InDesign prompts us to replace the fonts, even though those fonts are already installed on our computers.
Additionally, when copying and pasting text from a template created in InDesign 20.5 into a new InDesign 21.0.1 document, the pasted text becomes unreadable.
Steps to reproduce:
Open a document created in InDesign 20.5 and add some text. Then open the same document in InDesign 21.0.1. Create a new text frame, copy the text from the original frame, and paste it into the new one.

Have more Title Case formatting options
Please add more Title Case formatting options like AMA AP APA, Bluebook, Chicago, MLA;etc.
The default one people often have to edit, making words like "of", "and";etc not start with a capital letter2 votes -
Have ALL Case Options under Paragraph Styles
The text case options in the top menu should also be in paragraph styles, but instead we have limit options in paragraph styles.
If I want Title Case for a paragraph style, there should be an option for it2 votes -

[ID-4256547] InDesign 2025 Won't Lock "Constrain Proportions"
When creating a frame, rectangle, any object, or selecting any other object, InDesign 2025 will not keep Constrain Proportions locked when the lock icon is clicked on the control bar.
The user now has to click it while they select each object and want to scale an object by scaling either the width or height.
I didn't notice this at first, but found out from a Reddit post.
29 votesFix for this issue is now available in the latest InDesign Release version 20.1 (Build 20.1.0.71), available via Creative Cloud Desktop application.
Please update your InDesign application to this latest version to get the fix.

CC Libraries freeze when closing and opening InDesign again
The CC Libraries windows works fine, until you close the project & the InDesign app with the red X in the left top corner. (MacOS) It doesn't fully close and that is okay. But when you try to open any project again or create a new one, the CC Libraries freeze. You can still take out things from the window, but cannot scroll. The only option to fix that is to restart the whole app.
Version of Adobe InDesign: 21.1
Steps to reproduce the issues:
1. Create new file
2. Use CC Libraries
3. Close the window with red X…2 votes -
Adobe InDesign 20.5 - InDesignEPS Import: UnmatchedMark error.
Has anyone found a fix for this error "EPS Import: UnmatchedMark error" when placing a vector into InDesign? This has been a feature between programs for as long as I can remember and it is really frustrating that so many comments tell you "not" to do this as it is bad practice. It is definitely part of my workflow and helps create smaller, cleaner files, and streamlined, accurate colour palettes.

Bug Report: “Find/Change” Story Option Not Appearing
Hi Adobe Support Team,
I would like to report a bug in Adobe InDesign. When using the Find/Change command, even though I select Story in the selection area, the Story option does not appear in the Find section.
Currently, the only workaround I’ve found is to close and reopen InDesign, but the issue recurs every time. I can provide a screenshot to illustrate the problem if needed.
Please let me know how I can assist in resolving this issue.
Thank you.

[ID-4257732]CMYK color specified in MathML does not match the set value
InDesign 20.0 (2025)
Windows /macOSWhen I apply a preset or a newly created CMYK swatch to MathML, the color does not match the value.
It appears to be CMYK via RGB color.Original text (Japanese):
MathMLに対し、プリセットや新規作成したCMYKスウォッチを適用しても、その数値どおりのカラーになりません。
RGBカラーを経由してCMYKになっているように見えます。40 votesThank you for trying out the MathML feature in InDesign! The math objects created using this feature are placed as SVGs, and hence they exclusively support RGB colours.If you try to apply a non RGB colour (CMYK/LAB/HSV-based), then by design it is converted to RGB before it is applied to the math object. This conversion is designed to enable users to continue using document colours that are not RGB-based for the math object SVGs.

zoom selection issue
Zoomin using CMD+Shift results in the zoom selection moving weirdly while dragging the zoom selection and renders zooming completely unusable.
I assume that has something to do with UI scaling?

Creating a new document - size changes
I'm on the latest version of Adobe InDesign (although this has been an issue for a while now). When creating a new document and changing the page size, margins etc. InDesign changes it back, I have to do this 3-4 times before it gives me the correct size or sometimes I have to go with the size InDesign has selected and change it once the new document has been opened. And no it's not because the margins don't work with the size of the document I want to create. I'm not the only one in the office with this issue…

"Schrift wird hinzugefügt..." Adobe Font automatic updates crash the whole process while packing Data. ("Daten verpacken")
Version 21.2
While trying to pack up files /export the whole package indesign crashes and doesnt continue due to background activities:
it tries to activate fonts i have already licensed via adobe fonts. the process is absolutely critical, while my customers are waiting for the data, there is time consuming workarounds I have to step through. Switching back and forth between deactivating and activating fonts, closing all my open files I am working at is a time consuming hustle. These errors ocurred in previous versions and I hoped they had been fixed. Unfortunately the hustle still occurs.1 vote
