2. Duplicated characters ONLY IN PDF EXPORT!

   The following process creates a bug,
   which only appears when exporting to PDF:

   1) Write a few words (in Hebrew) and add 2 footnotes
   2) Set 'No break' to one of the characters between the 2 footnote references
   Bingo!
   Only it the PDF will the bug appear -
   The character (comma\colon\letter) after the first comment - is doubled!!!

   In InDesign everything looks normal!
   You only discover the mistake in the PDF/after printing!!

3. Issue Not Resolved: Cannot Implement and/or Copy Any Review Comments

   This was previously mentioned with multiple votes and then marked as resolved by admin. However, multiple comments show that this bug is CRITICAL and NOT FIXED with the latest update.

   Share for Review is essentially useless at the moment since there's no way to either A) download the PDF with edits, B) implement a change from the comment, or C) copy and paste the comment from the review panel.

   Please fix, these features all work when sharing an exported PDF for review and then importing comments. Absolutely zero excuse that this expensive of a software cannot solve this and then falsely marks as fixed.

4. Windows 10 / InDesign 19.5 x64 - Text Frame and Zoom Window Problems

   When attempting to use the Text Tool to creat a text frame by using the click / drag / release method either nothing happens (99% of the time), the text frame is invisble (I confirmed a text frame was created by viewing 'Undo Create Text Frame'), the release of the mouse pointer occurs on its own.

   Expected result: create a text frame in a single movement: left click the mouse on a location, drag while the mouse button is held down, release the button to create a text frame

   Actual result: 99% of the time nothing

   When using the click / drag / release method with the Zoom tool nothing happens.

   I believe the two observed problem are related.

   I have closed InDesign and renamed the InDesign Defaults file and reopened InDesign to create a fresh defaults file. No joy.

   I even purchased Adobe InDesign Classroom in a Book 2024 Release in hope that there woul be a clue to the problem there. The same problem exists using their lesson files.

   In the past I have never encountered this problem.

   My system:

   Intel Core i7 @ 3.41 GZ x64 / 16 GB Ram with plenty of free disk space
   Windows 10 Home 22H2 x64
   InDesign 19.5

6. Color Profile Warnings when copying Objects and Text within the same Document

   Mismatching color profile warnings are very helpful when copying objects between documents with different profiles, which is why this is an always-on option for me.

   However, for some time now, such warnings seem to pop up randomly when I copy text between documents with the same profile settings, and sometimes even when copying text from one text box to another within the same document.

   My understanding is that this is a bug, as live text in an INDD cannot have different profiles. Is there a way to avoid these warnings and still get them when they are necessary (copying between separate documents)?

7. Damaged capitals

   In Design 19.3 x64
   After pouring in an editable file (MS Word 2010), where the capitals were in the footnotes in the names of the author(s) and editor(s) the capitals did not include the last letter of the last name or the last two letters.
   Earlier versions (3-4 updates) worked fine.
   Selecting the author's name and including capitals does not help. Further the last letter (or two) are not capitals. You have to mark the name and a comma (sometimes even a space) to make the full name capitals.
   It takes more time, more attention to correct all the footnotes. This is irritating.

8. gradient color fill of many highlighted individual table cells can not performed

   There must be more controls of the filling methods of table cells:

   5. you must provide some elegant shapes of the table header

10. text color not showed in track change

    In the Story Editor, when Track Changes is activated, there are 3 types of visual indicators for change: text color, background color, and marking. In practice only the marking and the background color work, while the text color is always displayed in black. Attached is a screenshot.

11. "Insufficient data for an image" error is shown on opening PDF in Acrobat

    We are experiencing issues with exporting to PDF. Hi res PDF Compatibility Acrobat 7 (PDF 1.6).
    The PDF is created normally, but when opening the PDF, it sometimes happens that the image is not displayed on one or more pages. The error message for this specific page is: ERROR: Insufficient data for an image.
    We tried to solve this problem within our team. Eventually, we discovered that the issue did not occur for one of our colleagues. Further investigation revealed that this colleague was still using an older version of InDesign (18.3). The colleagues experiencing problems had automatic updates enabled and were working on the new version 18.4. I then uninstalled my 18.4 version and reverted back to 18.3, and the PDF exports started working as before without the error message.

    I hope you can look into this and perhaps address it in the new InDesign version.

    Best regards,

12. Scripting bug with Book files and the new EPUB Page Navigation option

    In InDesign 19.4 on macOS 14.4.1, the document.epubExportPreferences.epubCreatePageNavigation and book.epubExportPreferences.epubCreatePageNavigation properties are supposed to allow scripts to toggle the reflowable EPUB "page navigation" option on and off. However, only the document.epubExportPreferences.epubCreatePageNavigation property functions properly. The book.epubExportPreferences.epubCreatePageNavigation doesn't do anything. Regardless of whether it is "true" or "false", the output always includes the page break markers when outputting reflowable ePub from a book file via scripting.

13. Overridden page items are still linked to master pages

    Overridden items from parent pages are not really overridden, and may be silently deleted. Here is how:

    1. Make new spread document
    2. Go to Parent Page "A-Parent"
    3. Make a red box on left master page. Make a green box on right master page
    4. Add two pages to the document, page 2 and 3 is now a spread with a red and a green box
    5. Select the two pages in the pages panel. Right-click and choose "Override all parent page items"
    6. Move the green box from page 3 to page 2 by dragging it. Move the red box from page 2 to page 3.
    7. Drag the parent Page A to page 3.
    8. BOOM: the green box on page two is deleted. It should NOT be. The red box is kept. As it should.

    If you instead of moving the box, use cut and paste it will NOT be deleted. [works as expected]
    There are many ways to Override an item from its parent pages. All gives the same error.
    It will happen on any number of objects or groups.

    If an item is released from its master page it should not be affected by changes on the master page. I consider this a bug. This has been so for years.

14. Trouble having more than 1 INDD file open

    I can't open more than 1 INDD file at a time. I need to copy and paste from sections of one INDD into another. It will lock. You have to force it to quit. I lose time and my changes. My IT department at work said to contact Adobe. What should I do?

15. Window jumps to maximum size in 19.2

    Since version 19.2, InDesign's window behavior has been weird and wrong. With each mouse click it jumps to the maximum window size. If I resize the window, the next mouse click will maximize it again. Very annoying. This is only in 19.2. I have a Mac Studio M1 and a 49-inch Dell U4919DW monitor (size 5120 x 1440 pixels), so I don't want to work at the full size of the screen.

16. Image Path Data Merge Is Ignored

    InDesign 19.4 for Mac (Sonoma 14.5)

    After the latest update, the data merge is not longer working properly for image files. While, in some cases, the paths to the images is correctly resolved and the images are embedded, the same data file that has worked earlier this year now creates an issue, so that images are not shown after data merge.

    Instead of using the path given in the data file, InDesign now searches for the images in the folder where the data file is, ignoring the path name in the data file.

    Moving the images into this folder works as a workaround. However, resolving image paths has worked correctly in previous versions, and I would love to have the old functionality back.

19. Items Dirty the Document When No Change To Doc Was Made

    InDesign File Dirties On Open With No Changes

    STEPS:
    1) Open the provided file called Dirty File.indd

    RESULT:
    The title bar shows an * in front of the name, indicating a change has been made to the file (it's "dirty") although no change was made. This is a problem,, as I wonder if my file is leaking memory or will become unstable if more items or pages are added to it.

    OTHER TEST #1:
    1. Open the file Dirty File.indd
    2. Open a new untitled InDesign document and save it as Doc2.indd
    3. Choose Window>Arrange>Tile All Vertically
    4. In Dirty File.indd from the Pages panel drag page 1 and drop it into the Doc2.indd window
    5. Save and close Doc2.indd
    6. Open Doc2.indd
    RESULT:
    Doc2.indd is good, it is NOT dirty

    OTHER TEST #2:
    1. Open the file Dirty File.indd
    2. Select all items on Page 1 and choose Edit > Copy
    2. Open a new untitled InDesign document and save it as Doc2.indd
    3. Choose Window>Arrange>Tile All Vertically
    4. In Doc2.indd, chose Edit > Paste In Place
    5. Save and close Doc2.indd
    6. Open Doc2.indd
    RESULT:
    Doc2.indd has an * next to its name in the title bar. The document IS dirty even though no changes were made

    UMMM it's an InDesign document problem, you need the .indd file to see the bug and get the problem data from the document. But your web page here doesn't allow .indd files to be uploaded to this bug submit page. So...please contact me to get the file I guess.

20. Every possible action on notes freeze or crash InDesign 2024

    I had this issue in a very simple one A4 page document that has a single text area filled with text and some not complicated header elements (including a placed image) in InDesign 2024 (v. 19.5) file.

    I created 4 notes with 1-2 words each.

    Anything I did with notes after that, the app freezes or crashes each time. Is that a known bug?
