close book in event handler is out of sync
function closeBooks() {
var books = app.books.everyItem().getElements();
var i, ilen = books.length;for (i = 0; i < ilen; i++) { if (books[i].modified) { books[i].close(SaveOptions.ASK); } } alert('done');}
if you call the closeBooks function, everything works fine.
But if the function is used as a handler, the "done" message appears immediately, before the for loop complete.try adding a beforeQuit eventListener:
app.addEventListener('beforeQuit', closeBooks);and close InDesign having one or more modified books to see this (strange) behaviour.
The same function works fine if you target documents.

Unable to create a new document in Indesign 2021 (16.2.1)
Both Idesign 16.2.1 and 16.1 applications open to a black screen with a menu bar at the top. I am unable to create a new document unless I use the legacy settings under Edit. This issue started on June 21, 2021. All previous versions work fine.

Margin Issues When Threading Tables
InDesign 2021
Background: I'm working with an InDesign Template file that was set up with two pages (not facing) and a lengthy table in a text box.
Issue: Whenever I thread my text box with the table it contains, the table over stretches the margins on only the additional/threaded pages. It remains within the set margins on the original pages, and if you try to adjust the table on the overset pages, it shirks it on the original pages as well.
Why is this? Why is the table changing size (width wise) on only the threaded pages, and how do…

In a document imported from word, endnote links don't work.
I imported a word document with endnotes in indesign 2021. The link between the reference numbers and the endnote texts doesn't work. Any suggestion?

iCloud drive
inDesign thinks links are gone when files are being stored in iCloud Drive (even though the cloud version is still in the same folder on my computer). Please allow inDesign to download linked files in iCloud Drive automatically so I don't have to download and relink manually.

Smart guides not working at all
Snap to grid and smart guides or any function where cursor automatically snaps to edge, corner, or center point is not working. I am currently using version 16.0. I have restarted the program 5 times. All of these features are check marked and turned on despite the features not working at all.
I will not work on my project because of this issue. I need to rely on the precise support of smart guides and snap to guides in order to do what I have to do. I'm very disappointed with this bug and upset I'm set back so much…

Applying character or paragraph style causes eventual crash
I make extensive use of the command-RETURN keyboard shortcut to apply character and paragraph styles. It seems that if I use this shortcut enough times, InDesign will crash. This happens several times a day, forcing me to reopen all my files and try to remember where I was.

InDesign to Acrobat Accessibility Bug
When performing Acrobat remediation on InDesign publications containing correct export tagging, the Acrobat Reading Order tool shows "P" tags at the end of each line of text (as well as additional "P" tags in the middle of lines). The Acrobat Tags panel shows no paragraph tags -- just broken up lines of text.
Fortunately, these broken up lines are not reproduced as such by the screen reader. So why does Acrobat identify each line of text with a "P" in the first place?
This issue needs to be fixed as it creates a dilemma and lot of unnecessary remediation work…

cross-reference bug InDesign 2020
I'm working with a 50-page document using the latest version of InDesign (15.1.1 x64) on Windows 10. Cross-reference not only takes minutes to create but also takes that amount of time to update. It's become a useless feature of InDesign.

find/change text missing search: selection
after making a selection, the Find/Change text dialog sometimes does not offer Selection in the Search dropdown. It will be present under GREP and Object, but not Text and Glyph. Closing/reopening Find/Change does not fix it. Restarting InDesign usually fixes it...until it goes missing again.

Looking for InDesign 2020 to install on new MacBook Air
Hi there, I just got a new MacBook Air and searching my CC for Versions of InDesign 2020. I need it to work together with the publisher app «Wood Wing Studio» which doesn't work on InDesign 2021. But my Creative Cloud only show's me Versions to intall from InDesign 16.0 upwards. I also had InDesign 2020 installed on my old MacBook Pro running on Big Sur and had no problems with it. Is there any solution for this? Thanks!

Pasteboard settings are broken
Adjusting the pasteboard size between pages is broken - see screenshot, I've set it to zero and still each page is miles apart. Sick and tired of these endless bugs.

Montserrat Font Constantly trying to load in InDesign
Whenever I open an InDesign file the background task starts up and it is Montserrat Bold trying to load. This occurs no matter what file I have open and whether or not the file uses the font being loaded.

Broken Creative Cloud links when linking to InDesign documents after InDesign 2021 Update
I work for a global creative agency. We use Creative Cloud for all of our lockups, logos and vector artwork.
Since updating to InDesign 2021, we've noticed that all Creative Cloud links are broken and when we export a file with embedded InDesign documents within it, we need to go through and open every single InDesign file again.
We now have to check every single link in every single exported PDF as there is almost always some broken assets that show up as white boxes.
InDesign doesn't give any alerts for broken links in this instance either.

Problem copying font from Acrobat Pro DC PDF (to Word and Indesign)
[Adobe Indesign 2021 - 16.3 / Suitcase Fusion 21.3.0]
Since the last update, I am unable to copy/paste from a PDF in Acrobat the accented characters of the French dictionary (ô, é, è, ç, à) to Word or Indesign, whatever the font is (Adobe font or personal font).
The glyph disappear when pasted.
The glyphs exists in the dictionary when looking at the panel in Indesign.

Style "based on" another doesn't inherit Export Tag settings
When a paragraph style (or character style) is created that is based on an existing one, Export Tagging attributes should be inherited just like all the other attributes are - that one category of settings seems to have been overlooked in the code. You can see screenshots and my example use case at: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/style-quot-based-on-quot-another-doesn-t-inherit-export-tag-settings/m-p/11981317

Garbled type on "Welcome to Indesign" page
InDesign 16.0.2
Not every time, but often the "Welcome to InDesign" page has garbled/overlapping labels under the thumbnails of all the recent documents as shown in the attached screenshot.
Changing the size of the application frame window moves the overlapping elements around, but they are still largely illegible. See second screenshot.
Switching to the list view and then back to thumbnails clears the problem.
