  1. Modifier l'original

    Je cherche à modifier dans Indesign, l'application qui s'ouvre par défaut lorsque je veux modifier une photo.
    Je veux que Photoshop s’ouvre et non Aperçu quand je clique sur « Modifier l’original »…
    Et éviter de passer par "Modifier avec…" qui est beaucoup trop long pour 500 photos ! Avez-vous une solution ? Merci d'avance.

  2. Publish online - Play videos

    I was trying to play a video in Publish Online there are 4 buttons to play each video but every time I click on one button, it all comes out in one click.

    The links to each button seem all correct but when it comes to playing online it seems the button doesn't control the videos

  3. View position moves to center after exiting presentation mode

    InDesign: 19.5
    Mac Os: 14.5

    In the newest InDesign update, entering and exiting presentation mode changes the previous view position on the page to the center.

    To reproduce: Zoom into any part of spread / page that isn't in the center. Enter presentation mode. Exit presentation mode. The view will now have jumped to the center of the page instead of keeping the previous position in view.

  4. Align to decimal tab stop behavior changes to left justified if ligatures present

    Indesign 19.5

    Create something like a manual numbered list with the first tab set as a decimal tab stop and any word in the first line that contains a ligature.. It can be as simple as "[tab]2. fi".

    Expected result is the period would align where the decimal tab stop is set. This will happen up until a ligature is introduced.

    Once a ligature is present on the first line, the decimal tab stop behaves like a left-justified tab stop instead.

  5. GDI Handles

    Indesign 19.5 x64 does not cleanup GDI Handles on Windows 10 build 19045.4529, version 22H2.

    This only occurs when the feature 'Turn on Overprint Preview' is enabled, and you start scrolling. When you disable that feature, you can scroll again without the GDI Handles being hogged by Indesign. The handles rae, after the feature is disabled, not released.

    A 28 page project, and a scroll up and down trough the project, costed me almost 600 GDI handles, and when I'm at 10.000, Windows just stops serving new ones and Indesign will crash.

    Expected outcome: GDI Handles do either not increase…

  6. 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.)

  7. Text wrap should work normally with anchored objects

    Just make text wrap on an anchored object work exactly as it does when you have a seperate object. Not sure what the point is of having it ignore the text wrap for objects above the line it's anchored to. I can always tell it to ignore if that's what I want.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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…

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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…

  16. 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.

  18. 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.
