Paragraph style naming field typed text overwrites itself
- Double click style name
- Attempt to rename style
- Text field appears limited to 1-3 characters.
- As text is entered into the field, each character deletes and replaces the previous (ie overtype mode).
This occurs only randomly and only inside of InDesign. My keyboard or OS settings can be ruled out as a cause.

direct selection tool only activates with "v" key
When text tool is active, direct selection tool can't be selected with mouse pointer. It looks like it's active but text tool is still active. Must type "v" to activate the direct selection tool.

InDesign exporting wrong PDF size
Jan. 18, 2019
My document settings in InDesign are 3.66x8.5.
When I export to any type of PDF it shows as being 4x9
No bleed, no slug. I know sometimes the numbers are rounded up when you look at the size on a PDF but this is odd.When I do a test with a document size of 3x8 I'm still getting a 4x9.

CC Libraries search slow to input typed letters
With the CC Libraries panel open, clicking inside the search area at the top and typing, often the second letter that is typed is not included.
For example, RIFT would end up being RFT. When highlighting the word and typing again, it is fine.
It seems intermittent and isn't a stuck keyboard key as it works perfectly typing in a text frame.
It could possibly be limited to one or two certain characters such as "i" and "f" as those ones that consistently fail to be entered.

Random text appears in the filename field when editing filenames during Save As
- ID 14.0.1, OS 10.14.2
- Save as. When dialog appears, filename is highlighted so that it can be edited. Use RIght arrow key to put cursor at end of filename to append text.
- Expected result, which occurs about 90% of the time, is that the cursor moves to the end of the filename and you can enter text.
- Actual result, about 10% of the time, is that pressing the Right arrow key erases the entire filename in the field and replaces it with the words "Adobe Stock".
(Another version of this error occurs in the exact same scenario with Illustration 2019,…

Images with transperencies and placed in formular fields are separeted wrong when exported as PDF.
PNGs and PSDs with transparency and directly imported in an InDesign formular field are separeted wrong when exported as a PDF and separeted to cmyk. The images are too dark with a green tone.
This happens in the last InDesign versions til the last CC2019 (14.01).

Data Merge ignores files when a header field is called 'table'
If Data Merge tries to select a data source where one of its header fields is called 'table' (all lowercase), it fails to import (InDesign v 13.0.1). It doesn't seem to matter which column it's in, but changing it to anything else (e.g. 'Table' with uppercase 'T') seems to fix it.
Tried it on 2 machines, same result. Adobe Customer Care on Twitter confirmed they could replicate it and suggested I post it here.
Short video attached illustrating the issue.

Static Endnotes
When importing Word files with Static Endnotes ticked from Word .doc files the endnote indicators within the text are no longer superior. There is no character style to be able to change these back. Without these indicators remaining superior makes the Static Endnotes a waste of time if you work in .doc instead of .docx. We always use .doc files as there are too many bugs using .docx - bits of text missing; loss of italics here and there etc. Using .doc files are always foolproof. We are typesetters manipulating text 12 hours a day and know all the pit…

create outlines
- cmd + A = select all objects on the page.
- menu / type / Create Outlines
Error. Not all text-based texts on the page have been converted into curves. Consequence. Time to search for other items and individual conversion. Waste of time and the risk of file defects for the printing process.
Best regards!

feed back
I have a multiple page text document in indesign, I want to spell check only the text in the panels, so manual selection is the best option in this scenario. But what happens is the spell checker always reverts back to document. how do you set it to stay on selection mode?

CC library saying signed out but cloud is signed in
The CC library panel in indesign 2018 13.1 x64 on Windows 8 says i'm signed out of creative cloud and cant access my libraries but i'm signed in.
Only fix I can find atm is to forcefully sign out then back in but it resets everytime I shut down my computer and I dont want to keep doing that just to access my library.
Advice would be fab - Cheers

PDF export - massive file size difference between 143 and 144 dpi
I've been exporting a couple of display stand artwork pieces from inDesign cc19. My background flattened jpeg in the inDesign document is 200dp and the rest is a few vector objectsi. I export using the PDFX1a:2001 spec as this is what the printer requested. By default the file size for 1.07GB, which is huge. I adjusted the downsampling on export and found that setting it 143dpi produces a 15.3MB PDF, yet changing it 144dpi makes the file hundreds of MBs. So 1 dpi changes drastically how big the PDF output file size is. Why is this?

PDF Export Formatting Issue
I found that no matter what export options I use or how I format my file, it exports incorrectly. My content is in 2 columns on InDesign but when exported it seems pretty random how the PDF is structured (see the image).
This poses a problem for parsing software to be able to read the document in the correct order. It's common practice within most companies to use this for resumes. I'm sure it's also used elsewhere as well.
I've contacted support and they tried to resolve the issue by using my computer remotely. They found that this feature is…
