1. Changing Description in Buttons Does Not Stick

   A description is needed in buttons for accessibility. This works fine if you add the description when you first create the button but if you try to edit the description it does not not stick. The only workaround is to recreate the button from scratch.

2. Buttons on Parent Pages Create Form Field Errors in Acrobat

   Using buttons on parent pages, e.g. for navigation, throws up 'Tagged form fields' errors in Acrobat. These have to be manually tagged as links, which is a nightmare in a large document with multiple buttons per page.

   It's not clear whether all parent pages create this error or whether it's confined to parent pages based on another parent page.

3. Indesign is freezes when a window opens.

   Using Indesign Version 20.3.1, Whenever I open any pop up menu (e.g. paragraph styles, text frame options, Export window), Indesign will freeze and I get the spinning wheel on my Mac running macOS 15.4.1.

   It happens maybe 1 in 3 times and I have to force quit indesign and reopen.

   I have tried Resetting settings and preferences
   Uninstalled and re-installed Indesign (this helped for about a week) then it started again.

   I've never had this happen before and now it is driving me insane.

4. InDesign windows do not allow resizing from top to bottom

   InDesign windows do not allow resizing from top to bottom. Typically, the mouse pointer should change to a drag icon to indicate this functionality, but this does not happen with InDesign, while it works normally with other applications.

5. glyphs

   InDesign V20.3.1. (Windows) crashes when opening (or attempting to open) the Glyphs panel. The crash is consistently reproducible and definitely impacting production. The panel opens but remains blank (nothing displayed), then a few seconds later, InDesign crashes.

6. Bug Report – PDF Export from Book Produces Low-Resolution Images (InDesign 20.x+)

   Product Version:

   Adobe InDesign 2025 (version 20.x and later)
   Operating System:

   macOS 15.4
   Summary:

   Exporting a PDF directly from a book (.indb) using book.exportFile() produces a PDF with low-resolution images, even though the source links are updated and the documents contain high-resolution images. This issue started occurring in version 20.x and was not present in earlier versions.
   Steps to Reproduce:

   Create a book (.indb) containing multiple documents with high-resolution images.
   
   Update links in the individual documents.
   
   Use book.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, ...) to export the entire book as a PDF.
   
   The output PDF contains low-resolution images, noticeable especially when printing or zooming in.
   

   Expected Result:

   The exported PDF should contain images at full resolution, matching the quality of PDFs exported from individual documents using doc.exportFile().
   Actual Result:

   PDF exported from the book contains low-resolution images, differing from PDFs exported from individual documents.
   Workaround:

   Currently, the issue can be avoided by first merging the documents from the book into a single INDD file, updating the links, and then exporting the PDF from that merged document.
   Attached Script:

   // Repro script for PDF export issue from Book in InDesign 20.x+

   try {
   // Select the book file
   var indbFile = File.openDialog("Select a book file (.indb)", "*.indb");
   if (!indbFile) throw "No file was selected.";

   // Open the book
   var book = app.open(indbFile);
   
   if (book.bookContents.length === 0) throw "The book contains no documents.";
   
   // Update links in each document of the book
   for (var i = 0; i < book.bookContents.length; i++) {
       var content = book.bookContents[i];
       var doc = app.open(content.fullName, true);
   
       var links = doc.links;
       for (var j = 0; j < links.length; j++) {
           if (links[j].status === LinkStatus.LINK_OUT_OF_DATE || links[j].status === LinkStatus.LINK_MISSING) {
               links[j].update();
           }
       }
       doc.save();
       doc.close(SaveOptions.NO);
   }
   
   // Select PDF export preset (first available)
   if (app.pdfExportPresets.length === 0) throw "No PDF presets found.";
   var pdfPreset = app.pdfExportPresets[0];
   
   // Choose folder to save PDF
   var outputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select folder to save PDF");
   if (!outputFolder) throw "No folder was selected.";
   
   var outputFile = File(outputFolder + "/" + indbFile.name.replace(/\.indb$/, "") + "_export_from_book.pdf");
   book.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, outputFile, false, pdfPreset);
   
   alert("Export from book completed: " + outputFile.fsName);
   
   book.close(SaveOptions.NO);
   

   } catch (e) {
   alert("Error: " + e);
   }

   Additional Notes:

   The problem started with InDesign version 20.x.
   
   Exporting PDFs from individual INDD documents works correctly.
   
   Previous versions of InDesign did not exhibit this issue.
   

   Product Version:

   Adobe InDesign 2025 (version 20.x and later)
   Operating System:

   macOS 15.4
   Summary:

   Exporting a PDF directly from a book (.indb) using book.exportFile() produces a PDF with low-resolution images, even though the source links are updated and the documents contain high-resolution images. This issue started occurring in version 20.x and was not present in earlier versions.

7. InDesign Help redirects to Adobe Tutorials Webpage Instead of Showing Tool Location in Menus

   I use InDesign a lot, but I don't always remember the location of EVERY tool. Sometimes I just forget the submenu it's in, and go to the search bar so it will show me where the tool is in the program. For some reason, in InDesign ONLY, it will instead redirect me to the Adobe Tutorials website. Often it doesn't even have a tutorial for what I'm looking for, or it takes me to a completely unrelated tutorial.

   This means I either have to read through the whole tutorial and hope that there is an image of the submenu with the tool I need, or I have to google it and find another tutorial. Or, I can go through every menu and submenu one by one in indesign. Even though I have used this program for years my ADHD means I will often forget exactly where a tool is even though I use it a lot. And it's a huge, HUGE disruption because instead of instantly finding the tool, it takes me 5-15 minutes to find something that wouldn't even be an issue in any other program.

   I am NOT on MacOS, so the language/region issue does not solve it for me. I'm on Windows 11. I am so, so frustrated that this small, weird bug/glitch/choice is SUCH a huge interruption and it hasn't been fixed FOR YEARS.

8. [ID-4255870] Document Fonts available even if not active

   Working on an indesign document that has its own “Document Fonts” folder that contains fonts specific to that document (not activated anywhere else), then switching to a new document that does not have any “Document Fonts” folder, the fonts of the previous document are still available, but if I close indesign completely and then reopen the new document the fonts are no longer available.

   This is not correct, fonts that are not activated or not present in the “Document Fonts” folder specific to that document, should not be available for other documents that do not reside in the same folder.

   The old version of indesign (19.5) didn't do this.

   Furthermore, if you export a PDF of a document that contains a non-activated font, but which is displayed correctly due to the above, in the generated PDF the font will be replaced by a system font (Minion Pro, Times, etc.)

9. ID 20.0.1 locks up when resizing a table cell, either expanding the column or expanding the row width downward.

   Mac Sonoma, M2 silicon.

   I have an academic text chapter with numerous tables; Hebrew is scattered through the text, and some tables have Hebrew columns. Many times working on the file, the slightest change to resize a table cell, or resize a column, or who knows what, ID will go into rainbow wheel of death mode and must be killed.

   I just now found a repeatable lockup. A table had no header row, but crosses pages, so I created a header row to be present on each page for that table.

   Copying the single line text from a cell into that column's header cell works. Copying a four text line table cell into the one line table header cell for that column expands the header cell (and row) downward, and then ID locks up and must be killed. That has happened twice on one table..

   I now recognize that the same lockup has happened on other similar tables on exactly that same column; when copying a four line text from a cell into a one line header cell that must expand downward, ID locks up.

   For what it is worth, the tables are on pages that are rotated 90º CCW, as the table is too wide for a 6x9 horizontal page.

   In this instance the header row and the row below it are the last elements on a page; when pasting the text into the header cell the header row expands and pushes the first table cell to the next page.

   Other tables have locked up ID when pasting into a header cell that was the first row on a page, but it may have pushed a lower row to the next page; I am not sure of that.

   In another instance, in the top-of-page table panel for that same problematic column, I could click the column width box one point at a time to widen it to its desired width, roughly 66pt to 108pt, but if I entered 108pt in the column width and tabbed out to expand it at once, ID locked up and had to be killed.

   I tried falling back to 19.5.1, but it also locks up and must be killed.

   If you want the file to duplicate the problems, you must provide a private way to transfer it to you.

   Why do you use a fixed size text box on the bug report page, when that makes it difficult to provide sufficiently long problem descriptions?

   If you want more information I will try to provide it. Thank you.

   Mac Sonoma, M2 silicon.

10. New document size issues

    When I create a new document in any Adobe program (mostly InDesign) and select what size I want to change it to (whether it be custom or a print size), the size reverts back to a previous size. I have to do this 3-5 times before I get the size I want. It has been like this on the last few updates. I'm currently on the latest InDesign version 20.0 2025. Others I work with don't have the same issue and are on the same IOS (macOS Monterey 12.7.6) and InDesign as I am. Mac IOS and Adobe programs are all on the latest version available.

13. InDesign 2025 Crashing Constantly

    Indesign 2025 has been crashing consistently since I updated it. The main trigger seems to be when you Option-drag any element. Text, image, shape. It immediately crashes. Any designer knows option-drag is a standard move for design work. This is very problematic. I have restarted, reinstalled, updated OS but still the same thing happens. Sometimes it now crashes when you PDF anything. Update has some serious glitches. Needs fixing asap.

18. Bug: Cannot cancel or requeue background tasks, ID keeps activating fonts for good

    Indesign 2024, Windows 10.
    Problem 1: even with Adobe Fonts being activated, ID 2024 starts to activate fonts it finds in \Fonts folder, doing that for good and the tasks cannot be canceled.
    Problem 2: other tasks, like PDF export, are then queued and cannot be processed at all unless you could move them up the queue, which doesn't work.

19. Some glyphs in ai files appear as other glyphs in PDFs (created from InDesign)

    DE: Einige Glyphen in ai-Dateien kommen in (aus InDesign erzeugten) PDFs als andere Glyphen an.

    InDesign 19.5.1.114 | Windows 11

    The ohm sign Ω - U+02126 is placed several times in an InDesign document:
    2x in an Illustrator graphic
    1x in another Illustrator graphic created additionally for test purposes
    1x placed directly in InDesign

    If a PDF is created from the InDesign document, only the Ohm characters present in both Illustrator graphics are written to the PDF as different Unicode characters - and also as different other Unicode characters: U+0001F and U+00016.
    (See AI-Glyph-Test.pdf)

    The problem was noticed by checking the PDF with 'PDF Accessibility Checker' from axes4: The error ‘Text object with characters without Unicode mapping’ is reported for the Ohm characters in the Illustrator graphics.
    (See PAC-Report_AI-Glyph-Test.png)

    The PAC error is not reported for the Ohm character set directly in the InDesign document. But: the glyph Ω - U+02126 set in the InDesign document was replaced by the glyph Ω - U+003A9 during PDF export.

20. Alert is shown on opening documents in InDesign(v20.0.1) - "This file is already open by another user or another application."

    Yesterday I edited a file in Indesign V19.5.1. Now I can no longer open this and many of my previous design files. I get the error message: ‘This file is already open by another user or application. This file may be stored on a network server and cannot be opened until the other user closes it.

    I have updated to V20.0.1 and reinstalled V19.0. Both did not help. This bug has been around for a long time in different versions and it occurs regularly.
