2. [ID-4257733]The amount of “Indent to Here” in a paragraph with a “Text Wrap” object at the beginning of the line is wider than usual.

   1. Version of Adobe InDesign Windows CC2023-2024
   2. Steps to reproduce the issues Place an object with "Text Wrap" at the beginning of the line and insert "Indent to Here" in the paragraph.
   3. Expected result Wrap at "Indent to Here"
   4. Actual result A gap is created where the "Text Wrap" is added to the wrap of "Indent to Here".

   I suspect that the issue mentioned in the post below may be related to it being fixed in 2023 (18.0).

   It was working normally until CC2022, but problems have been occurring since CC2023.

3. [ID-4265137] Can't override the keyboard shortcut (shift-e) for GPU preview

   Go to Keyboard Shortcuts, to View > GPU Preview toggle and delete the Default context shift-e shortcut (as it's already used in my set for Reveal in Bridge). Save, works fine for that session, forgets next restart.

4. [ID-4263189][CPU Mode][MAC]Selection of objects does not register immediately

   I am trying to use the new 2025 version of InDesign - but it is really unusable. Running latest version (20.3) on Macos (15.4). Mac Studio with M2 Max CPU and 32 GB memory.

   One major issue I am having is that when I select a text box, it will actually not select the box until I move the mouse again. I click the box and nothing happens. When I start moving the mouse - it suddenly gets selected. If I do not move the mouse - nothing is selected - until I move the mouse. This makes it impossible to use.

   I've seen some tip on Document Font folder or Contextual Task Bar or Magnet app - but none of those are relevant for me.

   InDesign 2024 version works fine and it does not have these issues.

   I did a test on my Macbook Pro (Apple Silicon) - and no issue there - even using the same mouse as on the Mac Studio.

   I see some posts that Adobe has fixed InDesign with latest update - but that is definitely not correct...

   I uploaded a video to YouTube showing the issue. In the video one can see the pointer icon changing to the selection symbol when I actually click, but as you can see, the text box is not actually selected until I move the pointer.

   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erPZA0_w7gM

   Workaround:
   - Switch to GPU mode
   - Downgrade InDesign to v20.0.1.032

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-4260022][ExtendScript] Folder.prototype.create fails on macOS/InDesign 20.1

   Something has broken in ExtendScript's Folder.prototype.create method on MacOS and Indesign 20.1.

   To test yourself, save the following script to your disk, and run it in Indesign.

   
   (function () {
   
       var scriptFolder = File($.fileName).parent;
       var deepFolder = Folder(scriptFolder + '/A/B/C/D');
   
       if (!deepFolder.exists)
           deepFolder.create();
   
       if (deepFolder.exists) {
           alert('Folder created successfully.');
       }
       else {
           alert('Failed to create folder "' + deepFolder.fsName + '".');
       }
   
   })();
   
   

   Expected Result:
   Prior to this bug, this script would successfully create the folder and subfolders, in the same folder as the script is saved.

   Actual Result:
   Each time the script is run, it creates only one more level of sub folder. So the first time run it creates folder "A", then the next time run it creates "B" etc.

   See also this thread on the forum.

10. Icon Panels do not expand correctly when Application Frame is OFF.

    Recurring issue from one InDesign upgrade to the next! Found 2- and 6-year old reports of the same bug. In-between updates fix it but reoccurs with every new upgrade...

    ISSUE
    When Application Frame is disabled, panels that are on the right side of the screen don't expand towards the left as they normally would but to the right.
    The bigger the UI scaling size, the more to the right of the screen the panel expansion moves, soon disappearing altogether. Only smallest sizing allows to display properly.
    Attaching screenshot for reference.
    No problem when Application Frame is enabled.

    TECHNICAL INFO:
    macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (happened in prior OS versions too) – Retina 5K, 27-inch-2019
    Adobe 2024 (19.2)

    TEMPORARY WORKAROUND
    Change preference of UI scaling to smallest.

12. [ID-4260027] “Change Case” option does not refresh when opening saved search

    “Change Case” option does not refresh when opening saved search
    When a “Change Case” option is set on the GREP tab of the Find/Change dialog, it remains active until it is manually cleared or InDesign is restarted. This is a problem since it means that saved searches are producing unexpected results. Other options in the “change format” refresh as expected, so this appears to be a bug. It is especially problematic when running a chain of GREP searches because incorrect capitalization can result in numerous errors.

15. "Insufficient data for an image" error is shown on opening PDF in Acrobat

    We are experiencing issues with exporting to PDF. Hi res PDF Compatibility Acrobat 7 (PDF 1.6).
    The PDF is created normally, but when opening the PDF, it sometimes happens that the image is not displayed on one or more pages. The error message for this specific page is: ERROR: Insufficient data for an image.
    We tried to solve this problem within our team. Eventually, we discovered that the issue did not occur for one of our colleagues. Further investigation revealed that this colleague was still using an older version of InDesign (18.3). The colleagues experiencing problems had automatic updates enabled and were working on the new version 18.4. I then uninstalled my 18.4 version and reverted back to 18.3, and the PDF exports started working as before without the error message.

    I hope you can look into this and perhaps address it in the new InDesign version.

    Best regards,

16. PAC 2021 Error for InDesign generated PDF : Object reference not set to an instance of an object

    I am still getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object when testing pdf files in PAC 21. This error apparently relates to 'PDF Export using ZIP compression for images shows an “Insufficient data for an image” error on opening in Acrobat.

    This was supposed to be fixed in ID 18.5 but its now happening with every PDF I check for accessibility, even a single page with simple text.

    Working for local government and its imperative our PDF files exported from ID are fully accessible and tested. Seek an urgent fix.

17. Reading order issue when a footnote is split over to next page or column

    When a footnote split over to next page or column, the accessible PDF generated from InDesign CC 2023 has notes reading order messed up. The first note reference on the page where the portion of a note comes in from the previous page/column reads the continued note text and likewise the second note reference reads the first note and so on. Eventually the last note is read at the end regardless it's note reference. It's a serious issue because not only the reading order needs to be fixed for the last note on the page that has splitting to the next column or page but also all the notes appearing on that page where the split portion has come in will also need to be fixed manually.

    To my mind It's a critical bug that is making InDesign unusable to create accessible content and needs to be addressed on highest priority.

18. [ID-4255452] Text variables with modification date not working when saved to Cloud.

    I created a text variable to update the date when the document is modified. When I opened my document in the beta version of InDesign, the text frame for my text variable was empty. I tried to re-enter the variable, and I tried making a new variable. When I selected a variable that included the current date, it would not appear. I created a Modification Date text variable and a custom text variable based on the Modification date. They appeared correctly. I saved the InDesign doc to the cloud. Once I applied a paragraph style, the text disappeared in both boxes.

19. installed font missing InDesign 17.2 macOS 12.3 (Monterey) and macOS Catalina

    Different clients have the same problem. Installed fonts on the system are not recognised by InDesign 17.2. Other Adobe applications recognise the font and it can be used in those applications. I can recreate the problem, my colleague not. After downgrading InDesign to version 17.01 everything works fine.

20. [ID-4251249] Exiting Presentation Mode changes Application's Window size at higher UI Scaling when connected to external monitor.

    InDesign's Window size set by user prior to entering Presentation mode is not retained upon exiting from Presentation mode when connected to external monitor and with the UI Scaling set to other than Small setting.
    InDesign's window becomes fullscreen.
    It would be great to get back to same size and position.
