Transparency from PSD or PNG not showing in InDesign 17.0.1
Since InDesign updated to v17.0.1 (from the v17 before this), transparency on pngs and psd's has stopped working. Instead it drops in a black background and messes with the colours.
The image on blue shows how it should work (using a workaround dropping it onto white and setting the transparency to darken), the other is with the PNG or PSD imported with transparency. It was fine yesterday before updating.1 voteCould you share the PSD and PNG files with us?
If yes, please send them to indshare@adobe.com, mentioning
the Subject the same as the thread.—

Error on Save : "Indesign is unable to save this file. We tried, but appears to be damaged."
Indesign constantly comes up with a weird error when ever I click save while in a document - 'Indesign is unable to save this file. We tried, but appears to be damaged. click Ok.
Also I know in the previous version that whenever I zoomed in too much I would get constant crashes. Hope it's been fixed in the version but I won't hold my breath.

keyboard shortcuts not working
2017 iMac Retina 5K 27", running Big Sur 11.5.2, InDesign 2021.
Suddenly, without warning or explanation certain keyboard shortcuts have stopped working.
The T shortcut to change to type tool flicks to type tool and then back to original tool (eg Selection tool).
Hand tool on space bar does not work and zoom on space bar + cmd does not work.
For some time now, you can't hide ID when there are no documents open by using cmd–H.
I have been using ID since almost the very beginning and these have always worked. As I'm paying a monthly sub for…

background
Background colors (that should just be white) go crazy on tables and other pages until InDesign is quit and re-opened. There's no specific action that seems to trigger the issue, and it appears intermittently. This is happening on version 16.4.0.54.

Wrong use of German term »Nutzen« in the PDF export options dialogue
The term »Nutzen« is not used correctly as this usually refers to how many units of a design you put onto a printing sheet.
What it should read in the options is simply »Doppelseite« or »Doppelseite fortlaufend« or »Doppelseite (Deckblatt)« or »Doppelseite fortlaufend (Deckblatt). The term »Nutzen« should be omitted completely.

Please update to this new version of InDesign to get the fix.—

- Table is set as an artifact and does not appear in the tag tree at all.

Rechteck Rahmen
Es ist sehr mühsam in InDesign den Rechteck-Werkzeugrahmen zu aktivieren. Es funktioniert nur noch, wenn man exakt auf den Rahmen klickt. Klick in Table funktioniert nicht mehr. Das erschwert den Arbeitsablauf und nimmt viel Zeit. Bitte um Korrektur. Danke

auto page numbering does not work with auto-size text box
The auto-sizing text box should resize depending on number and not the 'marker character'
I'm pretty sure it used to work that way.4 votes -
Table borders, strokes, artifacted in InDesign problem
InDesign ver. 16.1 (2021): Table borders and strokes created on a separate layer and artifacted in InDesign are not tagged as artifacts when converted to PDF.
Close to a hundred "Path Object" errors flagged by the PAC 3 Accessibility Checker which we are required to use. The problem is none of these borders and strokes can be accessed in Acrobat with the Reading Order tool and therefore cannot be marqueed as artifacts. They are simply “not available” in Acrobat, yet PAC 3 flags them as “Path Object Not Tagged” errors.

space bar short cut for Hand tool NOT WORKING
usually when I have problem in one Adobe product, it is the same problem in all (Illustrator and Photoshop)... when it goes away in one, it goes away in all. Something is triggering it, but I can't reproduce it at will... just sucks when it happens

Saving postscript goes to wrong folder
Indesign 2022 17.0 is saving postscript files to the wrong folder. It saves to the last folder that a postscript was created in rather than the folder the document was opened from. I've tried resetting preferences but that did not help.

Disable cross-references
InDesign is far too slow when you have too many cross-references in a single document - and by too many I mean not many at all (I have 30 in one of mine, and the document grinds to a halt all the time). Whilst opening every single document that is references helps a bit, this is far from a satisfactory solution. At a minimum it should be possible to disable cross-references whenever you want, to avoid the performance hit. It would also be a good idea to fix the cross-references issue completely, so that cross-references are not constantly being updated…
