no break is not working 100%
InDesign CC 14.0 no break is not working all the time. Trying to keep web address together and have no break applied but the text is still splitting even though it can fit a single line of the text box. If I change width of text box the spaces get compressed and almost looks like there is no space between words.

Strange black window in InDesign CC 14.0
There is a strange bug since my latest upgrade to 14.0. Each time I import an image into a frame (cmd D) it appears a black window. Very annoying. Now way to get rid of it except shutting everything down, quitting InDesign and restarting. What's wrong?

images oversized on text import
This is not a new issue. Just haven't reported it before.
I work on educational books. Text comes in Word files.
Almost every time I place a Word file with graphics, the graphics show up HUGE. Some are so big, the only way I've been able to deal with is create a huge file, open the text box up to include every bit of space.
Today... the only size that would allow me to see the graphic was 400p x 400p!Not an isolated issue. I receive Word files from multiple sources, and every Word file upon import has graphics…

Edit original not launching native application
Edit original was easy to access using option + click linked image.
Since the latest update InDesign v14.10 and Mac OS Mojave, this action opens the 'Import PDF' dialogue and if you click 'Ok' launches Photoshop. The linked image is an Illustrator .ai file. All used to work, why the change?1 vote -
InDesign Enlarges New Assets larger than their Bounding Box
Since the new update, every time I drag an image or logo, etc. into Indesign and drag out how large I want the asset to be displayed....
- Indesign places it (after a short delay), but makes the bounding box smaller than the actual asset. So the logo gets partially covered by the bounding box.I'm not using the content aware sizing or anything. The bounding box should exactly match the asset as its being dragged in for the first time. Very frustrating.
1 voteHi Patrick,
We’re sorry to hear that the latest version of InDesign is not behaving as per your expectations.
You said that you are not using Content Aware Sizing. However, could you check once again to see if you have enabled the setting ‘Make Content-Aware Fit the default frame fitting option’ in the Preferences dialog (under General section)?
Also it would be helpful if you can show us a quick demo of the issue and/or share the file (along with the asset).Ravi Kiran

InDesign 2019 not working
The latest version of InDesign (2019, AKA 14.0) has serious flaws and should probably be withdrawn. I see any number of reported problems in the forum that indicate a lot of time being wasted on workarounds and issues that render it unusable. The problems are known and have been acknowledged by tech-support staff. Anyone trying to solve the numerous problems should just go back to your last working version and wait until Adobe posts an upgrade.
Adobe?

images are missing
When opening v.2018 Indesign files or new v.2019 files, bitmap images are not displayed. Images are shown as gray boxes with an X across the box (see attached). Display settings changes do not remedy the problem.
I have to work in v.2018 until this is fixed.
ID version 14.0
1 voteWhat is the creator application of these Bitmap images? Which file format(s) are you placing in InDesign?
Could you also share a couple of these images as we don’t see a problem with our files?Adobe InDesign team

PDF comment import does not show regular sticky notes.
The new PDF comment feature imports the comments just fine, but regular sticky note comments are not displaying. They show up in the list, but do not point to where they are on the document.
2 votesIssue was happening because preview mode was on.
Please turn off the preview mode to view the sticky notes -
properties panel
The tutorials all show the properties panel, but it is nowhere to be found. I tried the Windows tab, no dice. It's really annoying.
1 votePlease check once after cleaning InDesign Prefs. Properties panel is available in the default Essentials workspace you see on launching InDesign. It is also available under Window menu.

how about a new idea on policy: Don't leave developers to hang out to dry when the Developer has a ligitiment gripe about the Indesign SDK
I AM not happy here, pleas give me something to try at least the bloody BOOST in the indesign 2019 b130 SDK does not compile with any plugin on Win10 sv2017
To be specific it has to do with std::unaryfunction and std::Binaryfunction primarily which was taken out of the std:: library for c++11 and to conform with the current standard. I cannot figure out how to get around this error among many others. At least tell me what you want to help me help you help me. Come' on1 vote -
how about an Indesign 2019 SDK version that has examples that build w/o error in Windows 10 using vs2017
I don't know if I am using the correct SDK for Windows how can I get the correct SDK, I know it is not an idea but a request for information, the idea is publish correct information for plugin developers on how to build plugins on the Win10 platform using VS2017 which if I am not mistaken is listed in the requirements

Version: Adobe Indesign CC 14.0 (German)
Export -> Benutzerdefinierte Seiten
you can not enter individual pages in the area. The name "Benutzerdefinierte Seiten" remains in the field.Result: a complete pdf with all pages
1 voteThe export specific pages of a document to PDF, you have to enter them after selecting the ‘Range’ option.
As for the name shown in the field when you select the ‘Create Separate PDF Files’ option, it is just for display, letting you know how the individual pdf files get named upon export.

Canvas does not update
On opening a document, the area where the page/canvas would display is transparent (desktop is visible behind). Moving the view causes the canvas appear. When editing the document, the cursor does not appear and text does not appear highlighted until the view is moved. Objects do not display correctly after being moved - sometimes this is fixed by moving the view, sometimes not.
This is InDesign CC 14.0 on a MacBook Pro 13" 2017 model with MacOS Mojave.

False layer gets duplicated through context menu
If for example layer 1 is selected in the layers panel and layer 2 is right-clicked, the context menu for layer 2 appears. If you choose to duplicate the layer 2, the selected layer 1 gets duplicated. Deleting works as expected.
1 voteWe have been able to reproduce the issue and it is currently under investigation.
Workaround: Select the Layer that needs to be duplicated to avoid the issue.

Endnote Font Size Problems
Version: InDesign 14
Steps: When placing an endnote in a frame "Loaded by Place Curser", the font size used for the end note does not honor the font size determined by the style. This includes when the paragraph style is set in the endnote options, as well as when the paragraph style is applied by selecting the endnote text.
- Create endnote style, and set it in endnote options
- Set endnote text frame to "loaded by place curser" in endnote options
- Add an endnote to the text, and place endnote text frame

How are you adding the Endnote text to the frame? Are you copying text and pasting it? If so, have you tried using ‘Paste without formatting’?
