2025 InDesign (v20.0) Frequent Crashing on MacOS 15.0.1 Sequoia
Ever since the 2025 version of InDesign released earlier this month, I have had constant crashing issues while working on multiple files. I have been using MacOS 15 Sequoia since it released in September. At first it seemed to crash at random every 5-30 minutes while going between open indd tabs. I think I can more consistently trigger it now by trying to open/navigate around a .indt file. I have a screen recording attached of me clicking around with a 2025 .indt file, a 2025 .indd file, and a 2024 .indd file. Within this minute long recording, InDesign crashes twice,…

PDF Export Page Range Defaults to Previous Settings
Adobe InDesign – PDF Export Page Range Defaults to Previous Settings
When exporting a document to PDF in Adobe InDesign, the software retains the page range from the previous export session and uses it as the default setting for the next export. This behavior can lead to unintentional partial exports if the user forgets to manually reset the page range to "All" before exporting a new document or version.
This issue disrupts workflow and increases the risk of delivering incomplete documents, particularly in environments with high output volume or multiple concurrent projects. It would be more efficient and user-friendly if…

stroke window - drop down menu options
Indesign 20.5
In the stroke window there is functionality issue in the drop down menus - 'type' and 'start/end' for arrows etc. The drop down menu does not stay open to select an option. Very annoying and can't add arrows to lines. Also noticing the issue is in the toolbar as well for strokes.1 vote -
Rulers units change from mm to point spontaneously
Very odd: my units of millimeters suddenly turn to points - without me even touching the rulers. Problem is that scripts I made, go haywire now that InDesign seems to go back to its native points? This must be a bug, as the scripts worked fine up till very recently. But it's not just in the scripts. When I look e.g. at corner options, all millimeters have been replaced by points as well.

Although the ruler units are in pixels, the layer height and Y position still appear in millimeters.

Bug: Wrong centered text justification in round text frames
Center-aligned text in round text frames is misaligned, i.e. too far to the left. Please see screenshots for all details.
As soon as you convert the frame to a rectangular one, text is aligned to center correctly.
This is simply a calculation bug which should be fixed now finally - it persists for years already.2 votes -

Indesign rimane incastrato negli angoli
all'apertura del software, come si può notare in foto allegata, indesign rimane bloccato nell'angolo senza la possibilità di poterlo muovere in nessun modo, questo problema è presente ormai da diversi giorni e non riesco a capire come sistemare la situazione. Io uso il software per lavorare e facendo così non mi è permesso di continuare il mio lavoro. Ho provato ad disintallare e reinstallare, ma nulla.

PDF comments import issues
PDF comments are imported in wrong places in the InDesign. If a text contains more than once in a frame, the comments are imported in improper position in the file. Samples files are uploaded for reference. Can you check and update.

bug
"In the 'Advanced' workspace ('Geavanceerd'), the 'Swatches' panel ('Stalen') does not open; instead, the 'Links' panel ('Koppelingen') always opens. In the 'Essentials Classic' workspace ('Essentiële werkruimte – Klassiek') it works correctly. This issue occurs in the Dutch-language version of InDesign and seems to be a bug in the workspace configuration."

[ID-4263586] Adobe InDesign 2025 text justify buttons issue
In the latest update of InDesign 2025 (as of writing this), there is a problem with the text justification buttons in the toolbar.
Previously, you could click these buttons and then just keep typing into your currently active text frame, which is what one would expect from previous versions of InDesign.
With the latest update, keyboard focus instead shifts over to these buttons, taking focus away from the text frame and your current text cursor position.
This is completely useless, and makes it more difficult than it should be to, say, change the justification at a certain line of text…2 votesWe're reviewing this issue.

Constantly forgetting Workspace setting
InDesign 20.1, as well as pretty much every version since 2019 continually forget my WorkSpace setting, so that when I boot ID, it randomly thinks I'm new, and so it loads the annoying popups and product tours and the almost ubiquitous blue alert at the bottom helping me with saving my settings.
Fix this.

Eyedropper tool should not copy content fill by default.
I don't think I have ever needed to copy the content fill settings from one image frame to another, but by default the eyedropper tool copies how the photo fills the frame, which is pretty annoying.
Requested Feature: Please add a checkbox specifically for content fill. Please have it unchecked by default.
Right now you can only disable content fill from being apply by unchecking "color and tint," which doesn't make sense and is not intuitive.
Expectation 1: eyedrop a frame to copy it's color/stoke/ other attributes, but not content fill which changes the size/position of the image within the…

Creative Suite apps are INSANELY slow
All Creative Cloud programs are insanely slow and lagging. It's nearly impossible to use 2 or 3 of them at the same time, and I need to restart my computer every hour to even be able to do some very basic tasks. The problem is happening in all programs, Indesign, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro ertc.
This is happening on ALL computers I used in past years, and everything was up to date. It's not about 3rd party add-ons or resetting preferences, or any advice you offer.
Some weeks ago I killed off all Adobe/CC background processes and everything worked perfect until…2 votes -
