1. PDF export do not work with big documents

   Indesign 21.4.1
   Mac mini M4 24 GB
   Tahoe 26.5.2 (25F84)

   Document 1834 pages
   3 colums
   It contains only running text—no images—using paragraph and character styles. It is entirely in Times New Roman. The document is simple, though it is quite long.

   It creates a 0 KB PDF file and just keeps spinning without ever finishing. There are no error messages. The "Force Quit" menu shows nothing unusual.

   It is impossible to print using any of the "Adobe PDF Settings" options—such as "Press Quality," "High Quality Print," etc.

   A friend tried printing the file from an older version of InDesign on a PC, and the document printed correctly and quickly using any of the PDF output settings.

2. InDesign becomes unresponsive when working with images – cursor disappears, text disappears, application cannot be closed I am experiencing

   InDesign becomes unresponsive when working with images – cursor disappears, text disappears, application cannot be closed
   I am experiencing serious stability problems with Adobe InDesign on Windows 11.
   I previously reported a text display problem where text would randomly disappear from a text frame while still being present in the Story Editor. That problem has also occurred in the current version.
   However, I have now noticed a second, very serious problem:
   As long as I work only with text, InDesign works normally. As soon as I start working with images, the problems begin.
   For example, when I place an image:
   • underneath a text frame,
   • next to a text frame,
   • or anywhere on the page,
   the normal mouse cursor disappears and is replaced by a spinning circle/loading cursor.
   I can still perform some operations, but the program becomes extremely slow and unstable. When I then try to return to editing text, the text disappears from the text frame again. It becomes visible only after clicking in the text frame twice.
   The most serious problem is that InDesign eventually cannot be closed normally at all. Choosing Exit/Close does not close the application. The program remains unresponsive, and the only way to shut it down is to force the computer to restart/shut down.
   This makes normal professional work in InDesign extremely difficult and unreliable, especially when creating magazine layouts where text and images are constantly being edited together.
   System information
   • Windows 11
   • Adobe InDesign 2026, version 21.4.1
   • Hungarian user interface
   • The problem occurs with text created directly in InDesign as well as text pasted from Word.
   • I have already completely uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign.
   • GPU Performance is disabled.
   • The problem is not limited to a particular font; it also occurred with Arial and Minion Pro.
   • The problem is intermittent when working with text alone, but the severe cursor/freezing problems consistently begin after I start working with images.
   I would be very grateful if this could be investigated by the InDesign engineering team. I can provide a video demonstrating the problem if required.
   This is not simply a text-editing or workflow issue. The application becomes unstable when images are introduced into the document, eventually becoming impossible to close normally.
   Please let me know if you need any additional diagnostic information or a screen recording.
   Additional clarification: The text-disappearing problem I reported previously eventually resolved itself, and InDesign worked normally for a period of time. The problems described in this new report appeared only later, after this period of stable operation, and are specifically triggered when I start working with images.

3. InDesign paragraph borders and rules fail PDF/UA-1 accessibility (Unmarked Content Error)

   Hello,

   I would like to report a persistent PDF/UA compliance bug regarding Paragraph Borders and Paragraph Rules exported from InDesign 21.4.1.

   [Description of the issue]
   When using the built-in "Paragraph Borders" or "Paragraph Rules" features within Paragraph Styles, InDesign fails to correctly tag or artifact the generated vector lines upon PDF export, even when the export tagging for the style is forced to a specific tag (like H2 or P) and "Create Tagged PDF" is checked.

   As a result, tools like Adobe Acrobat Preflight (PDF/UA-1 validation profile) and axesCheck return a critical compliance error: "Content neither marked as artifact nor nested within a structural element" (Unmarked Content). The vector line is exported as an independent, untagged graphical object adjacent to the text container inside the tag.

   [Steps to reproduce]
   1. Create a Paragraph Style for a heading (e.g., H2).
   2. Enable "Paragraph Border" or "Paragraph Rule" inside this style.
   3. In Export Tagging, force the PDF Tag to "H2".
   4. Export the document as an Interactive or Print PDF with "Create Tagged PDF" enabled.
   5. Run a PDF/UA-1 Preflight check in Adobe Acrobat Pro or axesCheck.

   [Expected result]
   The paragraph border/rule should be automatically integrated as an attribute of the text container or automatically nested as an <Artifact> layout element.

   [Actual result]
   The file fails PDF/UA-1 validation due to untagged content. The user has to manually use the Reading Order tool in Acrobat Pro to mark each border/rule as an artifact, which is extremely time-consuming for long documents.

   Thank you for looking into this.

4. CC Libraries thumbnail transparency

   In InDesign 2026, CC Libraries does not correctly preview transparent white vector assets. “Show Transparency Grid” only displays the transparency grid outside the asset’s bounding box. The area inside the bounding box remains white, making white logos and icons invisible. For example, a round white logo is shown as a blank white square. The asset is transparent when placed in the document, so the issue affects the CC Libraries thumbnail only. Local InDesign Libraries show the object contours in the layer color, but CC Libraries offer no comparable visibility option.

   Would prefer either:
   - A transparent box with white preview only of the asset.
   - A contour of the asset in the layer colour (like in local libraries, so you can see the outline of the asset).

   In attachment, icon is added into the library in white (wit) and black (zwart).
   Black one is visible, white one is not.

5. can't convert PDF files

   Indesign is currently failing to open PDF and Illustrator files. The Covert dialogue pops up and takes a very long time to process before returning a failure message. Error says "some features in the PDF" are to blame, but it's happening with even previously good files and .ai files as well.

   Issue initially presented on latest version (24.1.1); tried reinstalling, then tried uninstalling that and dialing back to version 21.0.2. Same issue every time, even on files I worked on previously with no issue. Have rebooted my system multiple times, no change. Sample PDF attached.

   AMD Ryzen 7 7700 8-Core Processor (3.80 GHz)
   RAM 32.0 GB (31.1 GB usable)

6. Color Issue on Appearance Panel

   When trying to change the color on the appearance panel, there is an audible sound on my MacBook, like I can't select it.
   I have an example, a regular rectangle, I tried to change the color under the appearance panel and it makes that sound and it won't let me change the color. Ive deleted and reinstalled inDesign, cleared settings, restarted the computer, and the issue persists. I've also opened different files, and new files for testing it and it still does the same thing. I'm on the lates version 21.4.1, not on a beta of macOS either.

7. Modal dialog boxes appear behind InDesign window on macOS + excessive resource usage

   I am experiencing two recurring problems while using Adobe InDesign on my iMac. The most disruptive is that modal dialog boxes are appearing behind the main InDesign window instead of in front of it.

   Problem 1 – Dialog boxes appearing behind the InDesign workspace

   When InDesign opens a dialog box, the dialog sometimes appears behind the main InDesign document/workspace window.

   Because the dialog is modal, InDesign will not allow me to continue working normally until I respond to it. However, I cannot see the dialog because it is hidden behind the main InDesign window.

   Initially this made it appear as though InDesign had frozen. If I try to quit InDesign, I receive a message telling me that there is an active dialog box, but there is no visible dialog box for me to respond to.

   I have now discovered a way to reproduce/reveal the problem: if I switch to another macOS Desktop/Space and then return to the Desktop/Space where InDesign is running, the hidden dialog box suddenly appears correctly in front of the InDesign workspace. I can then respond to the dialog and continue working.

   This is happening frequently and is significantly disrupting my workflow.

   Expected behaviour

   When InDesign opens a modal dialog box, the dialog should always appear in front of the InDesign workspace so that I can see it and respond to it.

   Actual behaviour

   The modal dialog sometimes appears behind the main InDesign window. InDesign then becomes effectively unusable because it is waiting for a response to a dialog that I cannot see.

   Switching to another macOS Desktop/Space and then returning to InDesign causes the dialog to display correctly in front of the workspace.

   I have found older Adobe UserVoice reports describing similar behaviour. I am submitting this report because the problem is still occurring on current Apple hardware and my current InDesign/macOS installation, so it does not appear to have been fully resolved.

   Problem 2 – Excessive resource usage and computer becoming very hot

   I am also experiencing unusually high system resource usage while working in InDesign.

   My iMac becomes noticeably hot and appears to be working extremely hard while I am using InDesign. At times this has become significant enough that I have stopped working, closed all of my applications and restarted the computer. On some occasions I have shut the computer down completely because of how hot it has become.

   This is occurring during my normal InDesign work and is becoming frequent enough that it is affecting my ability to work reliably.

   I do not know whether the excessive resource usage is related to the hidden modal-dialog problem, but I wanted to report both behaviours because they are occurring on the same system while using InDesign.

   System information

   Computer: Apple iMac, 24-inch (2024)
   Processor: Apple M4
   Memory: 16 GB
   Operating system: macOS Sequoia 15.6.1
   Adobe InDesign version: 2026

   Additional information

   This is not a conventional InDesign crash. InDesign remains open.

   The main problem is that a modal dialog can become hidden behind the InDesign workspace. Because InDesign is waiting for a response to that hidden dialog, the program can appear frozen or unresponsive and cannot be quit normally.

   Switching macOS Desktops/Spaces and then returning to InDesign causes the dialog to appear correctly in front of the workspace.

   Because this is happening repeatedly, rather than as an isolated incident, I would appreciate Adobe investigating whether this is a known issue with InDesign's window/dialog handling on macOS, particularly on Apple Silicon Macs, and whether the unusually high resource usage I am experiencing could be related.

   Freezes when I try to close the program. It will either not close at all, no matter how many force stops/close buttons I hit, or it will completely crash instead of closing safely.

10. Data Merge with CSV file not working

    Using Indesign 21.5 trying to use Data Merge with a CSV file keeps giving me error that says "There is some error while parsing. Please check your data file."
    The exact same CSV file using data merge works in Indesign version 20.5.4 with no issue - all links/images import.

11. More robust solution for importing PDF comments

    The current solution doesn't work on the long run.
    InDesign crashes suddenly very often when trying to import PDF comments, with no warning whatsoever.

    Being caused by small changes in ID files, metadatas, auto-install updates of indesign etc. these PDF comments become impossible to use within InDesign after a couple of weeks or more.
    With 300+ comments, it takes ages to apply the modifications. Importing PDF comments is so time saving that not being able to use it is frustrating.

    • It would be at least great to accept the import and synchronized across the pages, if not on the text itself
    • It would be great to be able to import (as a safe workaround maybe) a .fdf comment file. Why the need to export/ import the pdf again?

    So far, as a workaround, I have to use a custom Apple script (via Shortcuts) that synchronize the active page from Acrobat to InDesign. It would be so much simpler to have this function natively.

    Please, consider improving the PDF import engine

12. Wheel of death when placing images

    Lately, the spinning wheel has been appearing, especially when I place a photo via drag-and-drop, but also when I use the "Place" command from the menu. When the spinning wheel appears (and stays there), I can close or save the document, but the undo/redo functions no longer work, other functions work limited. After closing all documents, I have to force-quit the application; otherwise, InDesign won’t close. When I reopen it, sometimes it loads previously closed documents with recovery, even though I closed them myself. The "CPU Preview / Preflight Off" mode doesn’t work. I work with local documents (I don’t use CC Libraries, etc.).

13. Slow even with RTX 4070.

    I've used Adobe products for about 20 years, with all sorts of computers, good and bad, but it has always been a pleasant experience. But since 2-3 years ago, everything changed. I now really struggle on any app really even on top specs computers, in, photoshop, indesign, lightroom but especially Indesign. I have a Dell XPS with RTX 3070 desktop AND XPS RTX 4070 laptop. Both really amazing and new computers. Any other non-adobe software works flawlessly. Tried all the recommendation from Adobe, talked to technicians, still really laggy and worse with each updates...Unsubscribed after many thousand of dollars worth of adobe subscriptions...

14. Bug de l'outil de révision

    Bonjour à tous.
    Depuis ce jour, je rencontre un problème très pénible avec l'outil de révision. Un décalage s'est produit entre les marques de révisions qui avaient été créées et les pages auxquelles elles étaient attachées... De plus tout les révisions avec du texte sélectionné ou barré sont parties se logées en haut à gauche de la planche concernées... Un truc de fou qui me met bien dans l'embarras pour faire le gros travail de correction que j'ai à faire....

18. [ID-4272075] Interactive PDF Buttons: Button bounding area expands after file conversion from older version to 21.0

    1. InDesign 2026 v21.0.1

    2. I've just verified and reproduced this interactive PDF button display bug by first confirming that several archived versions of the interactive PDF (created from archived InDesign Source files), all function perfectly and as expected. It is ONLY by opening one of those older, archived InDesign source file in the current 2026 v21.0.1 and exporting a new copy of that same Interactive PDF that the buttons all appear differently when clicked.

    3. The expected result is to have interactive buttons that look clean and functional when clicked.

    4. The actual result (only when exporting the Interactive PDF from the current version of InDesign, never before from previous versions), is that all the interactive buttons now show a black bounding box that surrounds and extends up above and beyond the boundaries of the buttons themselves. It's visual display bug specifically on buttons. This remains true even when the buttons DO NOT have any hover or click states assigned. It's a button element issue, not a visual state issue. (Although the Hover state has always been glitchy or "sticky" which is annoying, but not as bad as the black bounding box described here.

    5. Screenshot examples from the exported interactive PDF have been provided.

    Workaround:
    1. Export the test document to IDML and use the IDML to export to Interactive PDF
    2. Recreating the button entirely in InDesign 21.0 restores the correct clickable area. However, this is not ideal for users working with older templates containing many pre-existing buttons.
