  1. Article "Use for Tagging Order" not working

    ID 2024 19.0 The "Use for Tagging Order in Tagged PDF" no longer works. There are no tags present when I check the PDF. This is a huge accessibility issue!

  3. resize

    Just updated to Indesign 2024 (v19), and it appears the method of resizing/scaling an image or shape has changed. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out what it has changed to. Before this update, cmd-shift/drag the corner would resize an item proportionately. That doesn't work anymore. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

  4. Print files do not get overwritten.

    Whether i'm trying to overwrite a print file created with PDF or .vps using ID 2022 (17.4.1) through the XMPie plugin compatible for this version, it will not overwrite a previous PDF or .vps. This is a very frustrating issue since I've had to update to 2022. the only way around this is to delete the old PDF or .vps prior to running the new /updated print file, which is time consuming step. I constantly have to check time stamps to be certain that the files I send to our presses is the most current files needed, especially if a…

  5. Image Frame distorts with customization

    I'm trying to change the width and height of an image (cropping), and it used to never change the image within the frame. Now whenever I change the frame, the image inside changes proportion instead of cropping. Very frustrating.

  6. anchored object ignores textwrap of the first line

    When anchoring an Object in a text and selecting the object to wrap around the text, the first line ignores this command.
    When searching for a solution, i stumbled upon this entry describing the problem.

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/anchoring-an-image-does-not-make-the-first-line-respect-the-wrapping-text/m-p/11572999

    the only solution seems to be to anchor the text in a previous line.
    However, I want my textanchor to be on the right spot, so a screenreader can read it correctly - so anchoring it one line above is no option for me.
    Is there a fix to this problem?

  7. Numbering restarts from 1 after an unnumbered style in exported html

    1. InDesign 18.1 (since 17.2.1)
    2. Create a numbered list paragraph, insert a line of a different paragraph style not containing numbers, continue the numbered list on the next line, the number continues from the previous list. Export this file to an html file.
    3. Expect the number to follow what we see in the InDesign file
    4. The number restarts from 1 after the inserted line of a different paragraph style

  8. Drag-and-Drop text editing in Layout view problems

    I was working on InDesign layout with Word text with some text originally in Arabic - with some numbers (dates) only for a reason I cannot understand, but it was a text about oriental philosophy... I discovered that my body text paragraph style (for a strange reason) used Adobe Worlld-Ready Single-Line Composer (it was not my choice!). That selection made the one letter Drag-and-Drop editor in the Layout view not work correctly. When I changed the composer to a simple paragraph composer everything is OK again...
    Made an experiment - on Latin-based text with World-Redy composer one cannot use Drag-andDrop…

  9. Links appears OK but doesn't work when exporting in pdf

  11. open file multiple times

    19.0
    InDesign will open the same file multiple times. In the past, if you have a file open and accidentally double-click the file in the finder to open that same file, it'll just open the window that is already open. In the 19.0 update, it'll open multiple versions of the same file (only if the file is from a version pre 19.0 – pre-converted), which can create issues if changes are made to one file (and they aren't updated in the other). Version control nightmare!

  12. Paragraph Keep Options to "Start on next Odd Page" confused by Text Wrap

    Noticed a strange behaviour with keep options. If Keep Options says to start on next odd page, and there is Text Wrap that makes the upcoming odd page unavailable the Paragraph may start will start on the next available text frame, even if this is on an even page. I would have assumed that the Paragraph would start on the next available odd page.

    (How do we post a test file if we cannot attatch indesign file ot zip ? )

  13. Tools are now blocking me from being able to close open documents in InDesign

    Since updating to the newest version: V 18.5 the tools bar is now blocking the name and the ability to close down the first document. For accessibility reasons, I need the toolbar to remain on the left without blocking access to the document.

  14. based on previous file

    I love the review function. however I ususally base my work on another indesignfile and i always end up with overriding the review which is soo horrible.
    fex file1.ind gets copied and the copied file becomes file2.ind. when i make review in file2.ind its based on file1.ind reviewlink. i change name and woops i messed up comments for the file1.ind cuz file2.ind ended up there. then the reviewfile is broken and i always get an error as a plus so i need to create a new reviewlink

    I wish that everynew document would get blank there creating a new reviewlink…

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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…
