1. When converting files to a new version, some converted files have "copy" added to the name.

   Opening a book from a previous version, with automatic doc conversion selected, causes some files to be overwritten when saved with "copy" added to the name. This nuance has caused a cascading calamity for our file management. If this function is intended, then it's execution is downright dumb. Nowhere was this pitfall mentioned when opening the files and saving them. Automatic Document conversion should be just that, automatic. Not 'automatically' mess up my naming conventions and filing system.

   Shame on you Adobe.

   Thank you for reaching out to us.

   Can you confirm the version of InDesign with which you are facing the issue?
   It will be really helpful if you can share a screen recording of the workflow with us. It will give us unambiguous insight into the issue.

   You can send the video and test files to abkaushi@adobe.com

2. Missing Objects in Word pdf printing

   The file prints the banner and logo okay in pdf. But when I place them in Indesign 14.0.3 x64, and print them from there, two objects disappear. I'm also using Windows 7 7601 and latest Suitcase Fusion.

   It seems to happen with pdf files that are exported from Word from my clients.

3. Alt key modifier keeps toolbar active after use when zooming in using scroll wheel

   Not sure when this started happening, I only know that it's started irritating the heck out of me quite recently. I'm on Win 10 using InDesign 14.0.2

   Whenever I alt+scroll using the mouse wheel to zoom in/out, InDesign switches focus to the toolbar so that the next keyboard press will enact the menu.

   It becomes an issue when for example zooming into an active text box, if you need to type F, E, L, T, O, A, V, W, or H, after using alt+scroll you end up bringing up the View menu as soon as you hit the V key.

   Another sequence could be, select rectangle tool, draw shape, zoom into check alignment (alt+scroll), tap V to switch back to selection tool to adjust size. DOH! there's that view menu again!

   Super frustrating guys!

   Need More Info  ·  amaarora responded

   Hi,
   As per our understanding the issue is as follows:
   Launch InDesign.
   1. Press alt+scroll using the mouse wheel to zoom in/out.
   2. InDesign switches focus to the menu-bar so that the next keyboard press will enact the menu shortcut.
   3. Type F, E, L, or T after using alt+scroll

   Result:
   Menu entry is opened from the control strip (example View menu as soon as you hit the V key).

   Expected:
   Key press should select the suitable tool denoted by that key

   This has been the behavior since quite long and does not look like a break in behavior.
   Please can you confirm?

   Thanks

4. InDesign in Windows ALWAYS forgets app size and position!

   This has been a persistent pain for many YEARS. Everyone knows that an app should open to the last position and size. That's what the double-box icon is for in the upper right corner of the window border. Every single application in WIndows honors this "requirement" for Windows conformance.

   InDesign forces Windows users to reposition and resize the program every single time it is opened. This becomes a tremendous nuisance, and in any other program would be considered incomplete and unprofessional. PLEASE, for all the users who don't know how to report this bug, and for those of us who have manually resized and repositioned the "always full screen" startup settings, IMPLEMENT THIS!

   It's not hard, and all the other Adobe apps do it correctly. It makes the InDesign product manager look foolish.

7. InDesign Is Still Unusably Slow

   Despite this forum being filled with "solved" reports of InDesign being unusably slow, it remains so.
   I am editing a 4 page document that is almost all text, and yet I get the spinning ball after each and every keystroke. It can take 5-10 seconds just to complete typing a word, and heaven help me if I make a mistake and need to backspace.

   I just updated InDesign this morning so I am on 14.0.2. I'm running Windows 10 1903. The machine is an MSI laptop with an i7 processor and 12GB of RAM.

   I have attempted to edit the file with no other programs open and I get the same (lack of) results. But it's worth noting of course that "don't have anything else open" is hardly a realistic workflow for any modern user.

9. InDesign Documentation

   I found out through Adobe support that page transitions in an interactive PDF created using InDesign only work in full screen mode. If this is true, your documentation should state this.

   I also found out that the SWF function has been removed for InDesign 2020. Please update your documentation to let users know that this is no longer available in 2020, but is still available in 2019.

10. Unequal inset values in an Object Style don't display in a text frame if corners are rounded

    If you use an object style with unequal inset spacing and apply it to a text frame, the unequal spacing is ignore and made uniform.

    Steps to recreate:
    1. Create an Object Style
    2. Go to 'Text Frame General Options' for that style
    3. Set unequal values for 'Inset Spacing'
    4. Go to 'Stroke & Corner Cptions'
    5. In 'Corner Options' set 'Rounded'
    6. Create a Text Frame
    7. Fill Text Frame with placeholder text
    8. Apply Object Style to Text Frame

    Result: unequal inset spacing is ignored.

    If you apply unequal inset spacing manually there are no problems — unless you apply a corner rounding greater than 6mm, at which point unequal spacing is ignored.

    I've attached an InDesign file which demonstrates all of this.

    As an addendum to this: object styles seem quite buggy generally. For example, if you set an initial paragraph style and select 'apply next' then later edit the paragraph style, the text frame doesn't always display the changes.

    If you use an object style with unequal inset spacing and apply it to a text frame, the unequal spacing is ignore and made uniform.

    Steps to recreate:
    1. Create an Object Style
    2. Go to 'Text Frame General Options' for that style
    3. Set unequal values for 'Inset Spacing'
    4. Go to 'Stroke & Corner Cptions'
    5. In 'Corner Options' set 'Rounded'
    6. Create a Text Frame
    7. Fill Text Frame with placeholder text

    It is not possible to have unequal inset spacing and corners other than none as they can’t go together.
    It is designed this way.

11. Multi-state objects and animated elements not working on State 1

    InDesign CC 2019 14.0:

    I have a 4 state multi-state object. Each state has a full-screen image with a text title and description which animates in (Fly-in from top) for each state upon load. Left/Right buttons control the interactivity.

    However, when I add an animation to the text title/description in State-1 it causes the full-screen image to not load and the test/description text doesn't appear either. (Tested in Indesign in the EPUB Interactivity Preview panel and on iPad/iBooks)

    When testing it in the EPUB Interactivity Preview panel and I go to State-2 using the buttons and then return to State-1 the image loads and the text animates as planned.

    Why won't the animation show when State-1 first loads? I wanted to attach the InDesign test file to show the issue but it won't allow.

    Thanks,

    Eoin

13. IDML save changes Object Styles/Transparency Settings

    When I export a package the resulting IDML and INDD files are different.

    In all cases, the IDML file appears to randomly assign different transparency settings to random objects across any number of pages. One Object Style was changed to 60% opacity when it should have remained at 100%. In another a drop shadow was applied at 75% and Opacity was set to 60% for the image inside a graphic box, when neither effect had been turned on for the content of the box object.

    It has taken me awhile to track down. My partner was opening idml versions of my work, and kept nagging me about "why does this look THATway?" I finally caught on that it was the IDML export being messed up.

    The resulting files are rather large, containing many linked images, but if you wish I can provide the package of v15 of my project, which contains the two NOT MATCHING files in idml and indd formats. Let me know.

    Thank you.

    James

    P.S. It's possible the IDML open/import process is the culprit, but since I see the same error in the same place when I open the file each time, I suspect it was exported incorrectly.

    The attached screenshot shows the INDD file on the left, and the IDML file on the right. Files opened from the packaged folder after packaging.

16. Right swiping a hyperlink and then right clicking produces inconsistent context menu

    Hi there,

    If I have a hyperlink as plain text and then highlight it, then right-click the area, I sometimes get an option to turn it into a hyperlink and other times I get the spell checker menu with not such option.

    It would be good if the option to turn text into a hyperlink was always visible when you right-clicked highlighted text. I have dynamic spell checking turned on.

    Kind regards
    Mike H

17. arabic harakats moving

    Hi!

    There is interesting bug with arabic letters. When we have aleef-lyam-aleef with harakats + footnote references with more than one symbol (from 1 to 9, no problem, 10+ or (1), problems starts) on the line, harakats swap together. Have tried with multiple fonts, most of them (adobe font too) got this error.

    Tested this in 2014 and 2018 ME versions of Indesign.

    Hope you can easily fix it, cause it's a real problem for book publishing.
    Thank you!

20. content aware fit and linked images problem

    Content aware fit is a great idea and is potentially a real timesaver when importing images but I've had to disable it as when updating existing linked images that have been adjusted, rather than keep their size/scale as before they all auto-fit and this is a nightmare when you have carefully placed images such as logos in a long document.

    Could do with an option to auto fit on image import only, or an option to override when updating image links. Unless I've missed something?
