  2. 検索と置換で置換文字列のテキストボックスに入力した文字が勝手に変わる

    「検索と置換」で正規表現の検索テキストボックスに入力し、置換テキストボックスに検索テキストボックスからコピーした文字をペーストして、置き換えたい文字に修正する。
    マウスをテキストボックス外でクリックすると修正前の文字列に戻てしまう。
    <行った操作操作>
    1.検索「Taro: 」と入力
    2.「Taro: 」をコピーして置換のテキストボックスにペースト
    3.置換で「Taro: 」を「taro:\t~(」に修正
    4.ポインターをテキストボックスから外し、クリックすると「Taro: 」に戻る。
    文字列が戻るだけで、実行結果は指定した通りになります。
    この現象が発生する確率は10%程度です。

  3. URGENT: Add an "Empty Output" Option for Text Variables

    Currently, InDesign text variables (e.g., Running Headers) always display the last non-empty value when the source is empty. While this behavior can be useful in some workflows, it causes major problems in others. In publishing and educational workflows, having an “empty” variable output display the previous value is unacceptable.

    We urgently need a way to explicitly tell InDesign: “If the source is empty, display nothing (truly empty).”

    Proposed Solutions:
    - Introduce a new special character (e.g., “Null Variable Marker”) that, when placed in the source text, forces the variable to render as empty.
    - Alternatively, provide an option in the…

  4. "Reverse on Roll Off" doesn't work

    The feature "Reverse on Roll Off" does not appear to work.

    I have a simple button set up with an On Roll Over event to Play an Animation. The button works as intended.
    However, I have the "Reverse on Roll Off" checkbox ticked, presuming it would automatically apply a "Reverse" command to the Animation when the mouse cursor Rolls Off the button.

    It does not.

    Due to the nature of my button and animation design, setting up separate "On Roll Over" and "On Roll Off" Events on the same button is not an option, because the various combinations of the…

  6. (Ver. 20.5) When measuring with the Gap Tool, the measurement remains grayed out

    (Ver. 20.5) When measuring with the Gap Tool, the measurement remains grayed out and is very difficult to read, especially in dark mode. When measuring with another tool, e.g. the Measure Tool, the boxes with coordinates and measurements activate.

  7. InDesign 20.5 Mac not exporting keywords to PDF

    ID is not exporting the File info > Keyword field to a PDF. The type of keyword I'm trying to export is like "OS Version 1.2". This has been workin in ID CS6 for years.

    The keyword can't be seen either in Apple Preview in Sequoia, or in UPDF.

  8. idlm

    I worked on a catalogue for a festival and finished my project, then exported a package as requested by the printer.
    Of course, the package included fonts, images, and also an IDML file.

    The problem is that the export to IDML introduced some errors that ended up in the printed version. My original InDesign file looked perfectly fine, but in the IDML, some objects appeared that were not in the InDesign file at all.

    This has created a serious issue for me, as it now seems like the mistake is mine. However, I never opened the IDML to double-check everything,…

  10. When I launching InDesign

    Lately, when I launch InDesign, a dialog box immediately appears that reads: "You cannot reverse this change with the Edit>Unod command. Do you want to continue anyway?" (see screenshot) and you only have two choices: Cancel or OKAY. Being forced to choose OKAY, I'll open a Recent file of some sort, and the stupid dialog box follows me there as well, and sure enough, if I make a change and go to Command Z (I'm on a Mac), the Undo command is ignored and in fact Edit>Undo is greyed out in the menu bar. This has GOT to be a…

  11. properties>fill panel expands off page

    Indesign Version 20.5 on OSX Tahoe

    When inDesign is at the top of the screen (i.e maximum screen size), opening the properties panel and then clicking on fill extends the fill sub menu up the screen, rendering half of the sub menu not visible unless you drag the whole application down. I don't think this is intended UI behaviour (hope not), and it's really frustrating to work with.

  12. Add colour values to swatch list when placing file from Illustrator

    It would be beneficial if, when placing a file in an InDesign document from illustrator, that the colour value information of that file be added to the Swatches menu. Strangely, the colour values do import into my Swatches when I copy and paste an object I’ve created in Illustrator onto my artboard but not when I place/import that object within a picture box.

    Another minor gripe - when pasting an object it does not retain the name of the colour if it has a custom name - it only brings the swatch in as the colour values.

  13. Accessible PDF exports paragraph lines in individual content containers

    Steps:
    1. Create a simple InDesign file, and type in a paragraph on several lines, apply any paragraph style
    2. Export to a tagged PDF and examine the <P> tag in the Tags pane

    Expected result: The entire paragraph is in one content container

    Actual result: Each line of text is in its own content container. The paragraph is really hard to read in the PDF when pressing Down Arrow with NVDA or JAWS. This causes each line to be read separately, e.g. with NVDA the default is to have "Use screen layout" as Off.

    In InDesign lines can be…

  15. Character style applied to Table of Contents header

    When creating a book's table of contents (TOC), if you apply a character style to the first chapter, that style is applied to the TOC entry but it's also wrongly applied to the TOC header as well. It seems to be taking whatever character style that's applied to the first letter in the first chapter.

    I have a sample file I can send.
    Tested in InDesign 2024 and 2022 for Mac.
    Discussed here:

  16. notes tool deactivates midway through typing note

    Every time I try to add a new note, the window to type the note briefly activates, but midway through typing my note it deactivates and greys out, deselecting both the note and the whole text thread it is part of. To continue typing the note, I need to click back into the text frame and use the arrows to get to the previous or next note to reactivate it. Then it deactivates again a second or two later. Why is it doing this? I am using 20.4.1 x64.

  17. Segoe UI Emoji font visual issue in Indesign Export PDF

    I have used some smiley glyphs in my InDesign layout with the "Segoe UI Emoji" font. The smiley glyphs appear in black and white in both the InDesign Glyphs panel and my layout. However, in the exported PDF, they appear in yellow.

    Since I am working on a black-and-white layout, this is causing an issue. I am using the latest versions of InDesign 2024 and 2025. I suspect this could be an application bug. Could someone please check and confirm?

  20. InDesign. 20.4.1 x64 . PNG Not Transparent

    PNG's created on up to date PSD or historical PSD versions, not showing up as Transparent for InDesign version in subject.

    Still works in 2024 version of InDesign.

    Tried reset in 2025 version; along with 3 hours of assistance with chat team. Lost reference number as chat window closed before I could copy transcript.

    Please note, not a PSD problem; tied directly to the version of ID quoted.

    Chat occuRred with Adobe team from approximately 5pm-7pm, Friday July 25, 2025, PST.

    I'm removing the 2025 version for the older version.
