indesign export to pdf unusable for Thai
Basically all the diacritics are messed up, regardless of font used. The PDF looks fine but the text if copied from the PdF is garbled.
This is in 16.2.1 (2021). It was working in 2019.Johan shared this idea · May 28, 2021 · Flag idea as inappropriate…

Anchored headings on even pages appear out of order in generated tables of contents
Using InDesign v17.1 on MacOS 12.2.1. On a 50 page document with facing pages, using custom positioned anchored level 2 headings that appear to the left of paragraphs and are aligned at the left side of the text frame. When generating a table of contents, the anchored headings on even pages appear before their corresponding level 1 headings. I've moved the anchored objects slightly inside the frame and changed the left margin but problem persists. When pushing this same text to an odd page and regenerate the TOC, the problem is fixed.

navigation
The navigation bar at the bottom of the screen is visible as soon as we hit a key.
It is a bit annoying when you use this tool to make a presentation..
Can we add an option to hide it ?1 vote -
Pasting forced line breaks instead of end paragraphs (InDesign)
When pasting data from Excel, each row comes in with a Forced Line Break marker at the end, instead of an End Paragraph marker. This is a recent change within Indesign, as you used to be able to paste from excel into a table in Indesign, maintaining the proper rows and columns. Now when you paste in the same information, it doesn't recognize the end paragraph, and tries to put all the data in one row.
The same issue has been found when pasting text from Microsoft Word into Indesign - instead of End Paragraph markers, you get forced line…

Hyperlinks are not working on Share for review, using image, text or even buttons. They work fine if you export the document as Interactive PDF. Already tried to delete the review and upload a new version, but nothing seems to work.

Horizontal lines appear on a regular basis
Horizontal lines appear on a regular basis. Very frustrating. They appear when I scroll up or down, generally when zoomed in. I have to clear them with 'Hide Guides' keys (Command, semicolon key).
Also, the 'Hide Guide’ feature is flaky when using the short cut command. The guides will not remain in the 'Show Guide'I mode. I then have to use the menu to activate.

Font list scrolling performance is laggy even on loaded M1 Max laptop
When slowly scrolling through my font list with a text box active on the page, the scrolling is laggy. It halts regularly.
When scrolling fast, there is no problem.I guess the slowness has to do with the preview function when text is active.
Preferred solutions would be
1) better performance
2) only preview when you click the font or
3) provide a setting to turn previewing on the page off.
I don't have an extreme number of fonts, and I use FontExplorerX to manage my fonts.
I would expect this to be a fluent experience on a 32Gb RAM…2 votes -
Some text in tables is shifted to the right after the PDF export
After the PDF export, some texts in the table cells were shifted to the right in the PDF file. The texts are not correctly positioned one below the other. The values of the deviations from the correct position are up to 0.5 point, but different.
I tested it in InDesign CC 2018, 2020 and 2021.
The problem occurs if "Create Tagged PDF" is not activated in the PDF export options and metric kerning is selected. I've tried different fonts.
The PDF file with the suffix "High Quality Print" was created with the job options "High Quality Print" ("Create Tagged PDF"…10 votes -
Latest Indesign Slowdown on M1 Chip
I am on the Macbook M1 Air with 16.2 and still experiencing random slowdowns when editing text, moving images, all the basic functions of InDesign.
I have removed all Adobe CC apps, removed all plugins, used a cleaner. I am now running the latest clean Silicon version of InDesign and experiencing the same issues.
I turned off GPU enhancements as folks recommended, which helped, but it still shows the beachball from time to time whenever I try a simple task.

[ID-4239165]InDesign fails to open or place files with long paths in Windows
InDesign fails to open or place files with long paths in Windows. The "Long Paths Enabled" registry setting is enabled (i.e. it is set to 1). The problem affects several functions:
From Bridge, Place > In Indesign causes "Script Alert: Error: Expected a reference to an existing File/Folder"
DataMerge in InDesign: images with long paths are skipped, i.e. aren't merged. There is no error message.
From InDesign. I cannot manually place a file with a long path through the “Place” dialog box. The dialog box will display the folder and thumbnails, but when I click the image to place it,…

Please update to this version to get the fix.

search and replace clipboard contents
I cannot do a document-wide search and replace with clipboard-contents (formatted), when using Change All. When I attempt to replace any text with the clipboard-contents (GREP: ~c), it goes through the document, seemingly highlighting and replacing the text, but doesn't in fact change anything. It works when I do the exact search and replace string, but only using Find-and-change, and not when using Change All. Going through each instance (500+) one-by-one would take ages. Please fix the document-wide, Change All search-and-replace with clipboard-contents (formatted).

PLEASE do not close this yet: Hyperlink alt text is ignored in the latest version of Indesign
While Ravi Kiran and Dax Castro consider this closed, my US government contact does not. I need all the hard work I put into placing this hyperlink alt text into InDesign to come across into the OBVIOUS place in the PDF. Why is that such a hard ask? It seems like it could be in both places. Buried where my client cannot find it and where they can see it easily. Please reconsider. Thank you.

Files change to 'Read Only' when I click on 'Save'
When I have updated to 16.2.1 x64 of InDesign I am experiencing an issue where files are becoming 'read only' once I have clicked save manually. I then have to re-save the document as a new filename and then go back and delete the original. It is happening when I am using Dropbox. I have experienced this using Dropbox at home and in work and has only started to happen once I have clicked 'save' manually with the latest version of InDesign
