1. Installed system fonts not loading in InDesign

   I have a font installed in my system which is showing up and working fin in Photoshop and Illustrator. However it is not showing up at all in InDesign. I have restarted InDesign, rebooted the computer and still not showing up. Putting my work at a standstill because this is a brand font that is needed.

2. Package-PDF and Export-PDF create different results

   Mac OS Monterey 12.6 / Adobe InDesign 18.3

   Function "Create Package" with a PDF and selected job.options (PDF Presets) creates PDF with wrong downsampling for images.

   Function "Export PDF" with same PDF Preset creates PDF with expected quality

   Why is there a difference?

3. 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.

5. Word Import | BUG | Diacritic characters change language and formatting

   Hi together,
   if a Word docx or doc document contains text in italics that are not formatted using a character style diacritic characters will import to InDesign with:

   [1] Wrong language property. Instead of e.g. English (US) it will be Arabic
   [2] Formatting is in "Regular" and not in "Italic"

   For more details see this thread at the Adobe InDesign Forum:

   italics dropped for diacritic characters when importing Word docs
   davescottpeattie, Jan 26, 2023
   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/italics-dropped-for-diacritic-characters-when-importing-word-docs/td-p/13531639

   Also see my reply in the same thread for some sample screenshots and attached documents:

   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/italics-dropped-for-diacritic-characters-when-importing-word-docs/m-p/13532786#M512947

   Also note that the Word Import allows the creation of several character styles with no names and no properties in the recieving document! At best this is a disturbing thing…

   A workaround for that specific case was to copy/paste formatted from Word to InDesign.

7. Nonbreaking Space shortcut doesn't work on mac

   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.

8. 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. HUGE bottle neck for production!

10. 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 not accurately assigned, so it is not being applied correctly. This issue is adversely affecting the workflow as we are forced to resort to dictionaries to verify word breaks provided by InDesign, incurring an inevitable additional time investment.

    As an example, I have listed the following words below for you to verify how the UK English dictionary does not correctly break them:

    challenges
    consequences
    entrances
    homogenous
    inhabitants
    measure
    I attach a pdf with clear examples.

    This problem is causing significant difficulties in editing and reviewing documents, as well as in ensuring their linguistic quality. It is essential that this functionality is reviewed and resolved to have confidence in these dictionaries and work efficiently and accurately.

    I appreciate your attention to this matter in advance. Please let me know if you need any additional information to effectively address this issue.

    Sincerely,
    David

11. 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.

12. 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 has come up multiple times over the years, and seemingly was solved for quite awhile, until now upon its return.

13. 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 experiencing this problem. The PDF files on our Google Drive can be viewed and behave normally when accessed through Finder on the Mac side by the author of the PDF file. When accessed through Chrome on the Google Drive side, they appear as 0 bytes. The workaround we discovered is to drag the PDF from the Finder window into the Chrome window, replacing the PDF file on the Chrome side, at which point it acts normally for everyone. Every time the PDF is modified, the process has to be repeated.

    Giving the Drive "time to sync" is not the issue as we've gone back and checked bad PDFs 24 hours later and they are still bad. PDFs exported from other CC apps behave normally, as do other file formats (JPG, PNG, etc.) exported from InDesign so this is definitely a very specific ID + PDF + Ventura + Google problem.

    Below is a link to the same issue being reported on Google Drive's Help page:

15. 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 screenshot

    Please refer to this community support post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/ink-limit-bug-in-new-indesign-18-5/m-p/14133108

16. Hanging drop cap has wrong indents in 2023 v18

    In v18 (2023), when a paragraph has both a drop cap and a hanging indent (negative first line indent), the indent gets messed up on subsequent lines.

    This came from a bug report by Lut Van Nooten on the InDesign Secrets LinkedIn group:
    https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7006264075831648258/

    The solution is to disable the new Composition Preference: "Honor Text Indents in addition to Text Wrap"

    However, in this case, this is clearly a bug because there is no text wrap!

17. Saving activates the scale tool next time…

    I've been encountering this for some time now. Might seem insignificant but can actually hinder workflow. When closing one InDesign file if the modal dialog appears and I hit 'S' on the keyboard to Save (rather than clicking) the next time I open an InDesign file the scale tool has become active. As I never use the scale tool, this can be a bit annoying if I don't spot it straight away

18. pdf export

    Hello.

    I've used until 2 weeks ago a CS4 version of Indesign.
    Now I have the CC2023.
    I've troubles with the pdf export.
    The document is always the same, a 720 pages catalogues with Illustrator pictures.
    With the CS4, I was able to export 2 pages in around 5 seconds.
    With the CC2023, it takes arount 2 minutes, and after that the software don't answer for other 3 minutes.

    What happens?

    Thanks.

19. V18.4-18.5 Text boxes shrinking fractional and hiding last line of text PLUS then 'over-set text' error message not flagging this problem up

    I sent a job to print and after it came back 3 text boxes had shrunk fractionally to hide the last line of text. When I then went to make a press-ready pdf, it didn't flag up this error by warning me of "over-set text", so I did not catch this problem in time.

    Please see attached files -

    My stage 5 of the document, and then the final artwork file for it, with the boxes highlighted.

    I didn't get any warning messages for 'over-set text' to flag this missing text up.

20. JPG exports render horizontal "rips" in the image

    Exporting an image as a jpg is bugged and renders horizontal rips in the image. Easily seen in this photo of power lines. Compare with a png-export which looks fine.
