Indesign 2024 Unable to Recognize Variable Fonts from Documents Created with Previous Version
InDesign 2024 (v19.0) fails to recognize variable fonts from documents created in previous version. Specifically, Helvetica Now Variable weights and widths are reported as missing. Running MacOS Sonoma (but the same system opens the file without issue when using InDesign 2023… can’t be an OS issue.)

responsive
InDesign is not responsive, when I open it on my Macbook pro, it gets "stuck" and does not adapt to the screen size. Plus when I click on the full screen enlargement icon it doesn't work.

Please Support Folder Tags for Mac OS
Finder Tags in Mac OS are used to quickly filter documents and folders in Application dialog boxes, as well as in the finder itself. Folder tags have never worked with InDesign, despite the function being supported by other CC apps. I use folder tags all of the time to organize artwork, as well as documents. Please fix this.

When duplicating page(s) the layout breaks
I'm on windows 11.
Since updating to 19.4 i noticed that everytime i duplicate a page it moves my whole layout around. It happens not only if i alt drag the page, also if i right click duplicate and when i made an alternate layout in the page panel. It also doesn't matter if i lock a layer. Everything gets moved a little bit to the right or the left, to the top or bottom. Sometimes it also slightly scales an image i believe. The only thing i can do against it, is copy the whole spread and paste it…2 votes -
Acrobat extension for Chrome renders sheared rectangles incorrectly in PDF exported from InDesign CC 2022 / 24
Filled sheared rectangles in PDF documents exported from InDesign are rendered incorrectly in the Adobe Acrobat extension for Chrome, but displays as expected in other PDF readers [ Preview, Safari, Quickview, etc. ]. The sheared rectangles are displayed as a box of the fill colour with the outer bounds of the sheared shape. Adding a stroke suggests the sheared rectangle is preserved, but is not honoured by the fill.
Work around: Adding an additional anchor point, or rounding the corners, appears to correct this issue.

Hide Frame Edges
I'm working on Windows 11. I'm not sure what the InDesign version is but I just bought it two days ago.
Everything has been smooth so far but when I needed to hide the Frame Edges I met this issue. From what I found out there are two options: View > Extras > Hide Frame Edges or simply Ctrl + H
Neither case worked.

UI settings greyed out
No one EVER solves this. Those of us who work on TV monitors (for the large size) can never get the panels text (among other things) to scale up so they are legible. This causes great eyestrain and is just terrible, over all. Usually, it is suggested that I change my resolution, but I can't do that, because it would ***** up everything else on my computer, including ID. This problem has been around for about 20 years, and the folks at InDesign don't care. They have never fixed it.

# in URLs of Hyperlinks in Hyperlinks panel is substituted with %23 when opened in browser from panel
Hi together,
when working with hyperlinks with URL destination an URL like:https://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/HTML/Elemente/a#Siehe_auch
will not be transferred to the browser as is when the menu command "Go to Destination" is used or if the "green" bullet in the panel is clicked that indicates a correct and connectable hyperlink destination.
Instead character # will be substituted with %23 like that:
https://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/HTML/Elemente/a%23Siehe_auch
The implication could be two-fold:
[1] The browser could show an 404 error
[2] The browser could not navigate to the named anchor and the view of the page is showing the top part of the page.The URL above…

Adobe Fonts messes with installed/added fonts
Indesign 2022 and 2024, Windows 10.
Steps to reproduce:
1. With "Adobe Fonts" not activated in the Cloud client, add fonts to Indesign's \Fonts folder and start. Good example font: Roboto. The is a truetype font from Google.
2. Use any of the added fonts in a document and save. Close the document
3. Activate Adobe Fonts in the cloud client and restart Indesign. In case any of the added fonts is also available on Adobe Fonts, they're overridden by the cloud font, as the symbol in the font list (Type menu), next to the font, changes once you open…1 vote -

style from word not recognised
When I, in a word document linked to Indesign add a style which begins with the name of anther style, followed by a comma (no space) and more text, InDesign does not recognise that this is a new style but instead treats it (and calls it) by the other (shorter) style name. Workaround is to e.g. use an underscore instead, but it took me quite a while that is was this issue that caused the strange indesign behaviour.

Hide spread does not work with publish online
InDesign v 19.0 - Publish Online
I welcomed the fairly new 'Hide Spread' option, which is long overdue. But unless this is a bug, I am astonished that the hide spread feature does not work when you use the Adobe Publish Online option!?
I think the initial message said the hidden pages will be excluded when exporting (to PDF I presume), but I assumed it would also work when using the Publish Online option!
But my experience publishing online just now shows me the hidden pages are always included. I changed paste board set-up to 'Digital Publishing' in case that…3 votes -

Library assets missing in InDesign 2024 v19.3 but visible in Creative Cloud
Many assets that i've made and added into my libraries that we use for production are now missing for me in InDesign, v19.3, although they are still present in the Creative Cloud app, and my coworker using the same library but on InDesign v19.1 does not have this issue so far.
Both of us are on the latest version of MacOs, v14.4.
