Indesign 18.5 on MAC 13.5.2_conflicting fonts
Why am I getting different results than the clients pdf?
Using same fonts as client. The word IMPACT REPORT is different when I export it.
The clients font is Gotham Bold but when I open the Indesign, the font shows up as Gotham Distress even though I don't have that font in my Document font folder.

inDesign 18.3.0.50 often impossible to save document
inDesign 18.3.0.50 often impossible to save document. Very annoying because to continue I'm forced to close the file / application and therefore I lose all the changes.

Pick an other page in a link
It would be great, when importing a file with several pages, to be able to quickly choose another page of the linked file in the links panel, without having to re-import the file.

Edited links do not visually update in InDesign 2024 19.0
When I edit links (mostly PSD files) and then update the modified links in InDesign the application seems to be updating them as usual, the graphics reload and the update warning symbol disappears and all seems fine - except graphically they have not changed. Graphically they are still their old version.
I've tried rebooting InDesign several times, and making more changes to the links to force another update, printing the document, etc. There is no preflight issues with the document, all links are up to date, but what I'm seeing is older versions.
The only thing that seems to work…

Pdf comments - Sticky notes freeze file
INDD 18.0 PDF comments has something chronically slow going on with the sticky notes. We have done some testing here and also confirmed by other in the forums https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/pdf-comments-sticky-notes-makes-document-extremly-slow/m-p/13368359#M503963
If you delete the sticky notes the file will work as expected. But if you have 1 sticky note on a page, any editing on that page is painfully slow!
WORKAROUND - action sticky notes outside of INDD then delete them and import the file. Not ideal but manageable until Adobe can fix this one.

Issues with epub quality on the new 2023 update
I'm a book publisher. I downloaded the latest InDesign update last week. I created the files and saved them like in the previous software. However, the vendors are all rejecting the epub files stating they're not validating in their epub software. I had to go redownload the prior version of InDesign, and it works like a charm. The glitch seems to be in the new version of the InDesign software.
12 votesFix for this issue is now available in the latest release of InDesign 2023 - that is, InDesign 18.1 version.
Please update to this version of InDesign to get the fix.

The shortcut for the "Nonbreaking Space" (option+command+X) doesn't work anymore in Indesign 2023 (and 2022). Clearing cache and preferences didn't fix it.

Processing speed slow when printing pdf file
Slow Processing speed when printing PDF files created in Indesign. Using Version 18.5 and everything is up to date.
Has been an issue a little over a month after update. Have run tests using older files that have already been printed and a new PDF created from the same file. The processing speed when printing is doubled in the new file. Started trouble shooting on the printers and servers with no success.
The file size itself is the same only processing the file takes longer. Processing is done with Fiery E-46 A to a Ricoh Pro C7200e Graphics Addition printer.…

Issue with Word Breaks in Dictionaries on InDesign (last version)
Dear Technical Support Team,
I am writing to inform you about an issue I am experiencing with word breaks in dictionaries, primarily in UK English (the Canadian one has fewer problems), German (2006 reform with Duden activated), and Danish, which are the languages I use the most. This problem has also arisen in other languages. I always switch the dictionary according to the language of the text I am working on. I have mainly encountered these errors using InDesign, but it has also happened to me in Illustrator. Clearly, the word break functionality is not working correctly, and syllabication is…

Slow performance, only using 100% of one logical processor
Since the update in March, InDesign (v 18.2.1 x64) runs extremely slow on my Windows 11 laptop. Never experienced such delays before. I have 16GB RAM and a AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics processor. InDesign appears to only use one of the sixteen logical processors and it slows down my entire system. Overall processor use may only be 34%, but the system is slowed down to the point where the mouse pointer doesn't even move.

Black Backgrounds When Copying PNG from Web to Indesign (Return of Bug)
This is a recurring bug that was solved in a few past updates, but, it's back in InDesign V. 18.5.
When you copy a transparent background PNG from Google Images (or any website) and paste it into InDesign, it will display a black box as the background.
If you paste the same image into Photoshop, copy that, paste it into InDesign, it will not show the black background.
This was working 100% flawlessly over the last year, but, is now broken in this new version on multiple Macs. Tried different browsers. Reset preferences, same issue.
This was a bug that…

PDFs Export to Google Drive as 0 Bytes, for Anyone on MacOS Ventura
Sometime in approximately late January 2023, my workgroup began having difficulty exporting PDFs from InDesign to our Google Drive. The PDF files appear on the Drive but as 0 bytes and can't be opened/viewed from the Chrome side of the Drive. We have isolated the problem as specific to anyone who is on MacOS Ventura. We believe the problem stems from a late January/early February upgrade to either the Google Drive, InDesign or Ventura (or perhaps a perfect storm combo of all three). We have 8 InDesign users in our workgroup and only the three who upgraded to Ventura are…

preferences
After updating to Indesign 18.5 on macOS Ventura 13.2, every time it starts up I have to hold shift+ctrl+opt+cmd to clear the preferences or it crashes after half a second. Doesn't matter if I close it immediately without doing anything and restart, it still crashes every single time, instantly. 18.4 worked perfectly and continues to work perfectly if I roll back, 18.5 continues to crash every time even on a reinstall.

ink limit not displaying correctly with 'flat' psd files, Indesign 18.5
Indesign doesn't correctly display zero ink levels when inspecting psd files with the ink limit inspector when the .psd file has the default 'background' bottom layer present.
first image uploaded shows two files with same colour profiles, from same scanner etc previewed in Indesign —top one still has a 'background' base layer and the white area around it shows red when there isnt any ink/colour — this is incorrect!
If I double click the background layer so it is no longer 'flat' and resave the top photoshop file, then Indesign is able to read the ink levels correctly!
See second…
