About the default file format for PDF export of a book
Indesign 18.5 x64
Windows 10 64bit
Japanese versionSelecting the default format for pdf export of books
Due to the file type being in string order, the interactive format pdf is the default.
It takes a step to select the print-ready format pdf, and one out of two times I accidentally select the interactive format.
I almost never select the interactive format in my work.
That being said, I think some users would prefer the interactive format to be the default, so we should be able to set the default format for the book's PDF output from the settings. Or,…1 vote -

Adobe InDesign list panels unusable + Mouse click outside InDesign window not working.
After I type any value by keyboard entering on a dialogue box (like font size, transparency, color tone, font spacing etc), all InDesign list panels become unusable: list elements (swatches, fonts etc) slip away from mouse selection like they were anchored to cursor.
In the video:
1. two panels working correctly (not important which panels, the issue appears on ANY panel);
2. typing of a random value on a random box (not important which box, the issue appears after ANY keyboard entering on ANY box);
3. the same panels not working anymore (in the video I am only moving the…2 votes -

Bulleted and numbered lists, "Restart Numbers at This Level After:" behavior is not consistent
- create a document with "Bulleted and numbered lists" and List Type "Numbers" * There are 3 types of headings and 3 levels.
- set the levels so that each heading is renumbered according to the higher level heading. 3.
- re-set the numbering style to "none" or remove "^#" from the "Number" to indicate numbering
- the numbers are no longer re-numbered.
Workaround: set Mode to "Start At: 1" instead of "Continue from Previous Number
I had quite a bit of trouble finding a workaround. Also, it is often the case that the higher levels do not want to display numbers, so the…

Stile di carattere
Non è una nuova idea. è un bug dall'ultimo aggiornamento. Se faccio una stringa di testo e seleziono stile di carattere ad esempio corsivo, tondo chiaro ecc. selezionando la singola parola e applico lo stile influisce sull'intera strinca a differenza della precedente versione che teneva lao stile solo sul testo selezionato pur nella stressa riga.

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.

Certain placed PDFs look fine but become strange when part of InDesign export to PDF
InDesign version 18.3. The issue is explained thoroughly in this forum thread, with lots of example exports: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/pdf-export-messes-up-placed-pdf-and-is-affected-by-mark-bleed-settings/m-p/13957529
Summary: If you place either of the attached PDFs (which were made in Word for Mac), and then try to make a PDF from InDesign, the black rectangle that is in the background of the content will change size unexpectedly. It will always look fine in InDesign but mess up when exported. And the degree to which it changes will vary depending on various factors like marks and bleed, which should have nothing to do with the placed PDF.

Images are being flipped on InDesign 2023 > 2024 update
As title describes, I have a file that is suitable for InDesign 2023 (18.5.0.57), when I open it in InDesign 2024 (19.0.0.151) some rare cases (twice in 1 day) there have been images that have been flipped upside down.
Fortunately both times the client's have picked this up, I work for a print industry and send back PDFs for print approval. This is the final stage before print.

After IDS install or update calls to preflight() don't work unless you manually edit ExportPreflightReport.jsx
Whenever we install or update InDesign Server we can't call preflight() unless we manually edit the ExportPreflightReport.jsx file found here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign Server 2023\Scripts\PreflightWe've had to do this for every version of IDS we've installed or updated (v15, v18.2.1 and 18.5). We're using Windows Server 2022 in Azure (Win64).
I can't attach jsx or zip files but edits required are described at the bottom of this post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/problem-with-save-preflight-report-using-javascript-in-macintosh/td-p/5831477
If we don't make these changes, calls to preflight on IDS don't produce a report. The script (ExportPreflightReport.jsx) works on InDesign Desktop.
It would be great if IDS shipped with…

Adobe InDesign 18.5 missing Fonts
Missing Fonts in Adobe InDesign 18.5.
Hello,
Our Corporate Font is always missing in Adobe Indesign 18.5. Our IT checked the Font istallation, Libraray Font Cache ... and we got the Info, it is only an Adobe InDesign problem.

Our Typedesigner tested the Font, everything is ok.
We are using InDesign 18.5 on Mac Ventura 13.5. Deinstalling and install InDesign 18.5 new didn't solve the Problem. The complete Font-Family…1 voteHello Romana

Crop tool namings for german version are irritating
A view months ago I was posting this issue to the community board already. :-) Thanks to Mr. Tyson for directing me to this page here:
Dear InDesign team,
please take a look on https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/placing-graphics.html
The assistance describes the differences between the three boxes named "crop", "trim" and "bleed".Well, in English there is no mistake if I'm going to import a PDF into my InDesign document, e.g. I'd like to display the final cutted format, than I choose for "Trim" or if I need to prepare a page for professional print shops than choosing "Bleed".
But in the german…

Importing PDF Comments: inclusion of Sticky Notes slows InDesign down to a crawl.
When importing PDF Comments, it is mostly a breeze until the editor/author applies a 'Sticky Note'.
Moving through a document where 'Sticky Notes' have been added, the page, and surrounding pages, slows InDesign to a crawl and can take a few minutes to apply one change.
While my workaround is to run through all the 'Sticky Notes' in the PDF file first and apply those changes independently before deleting them, I can then import the PDF Comments in the usual way to speed up the remaining part of the process without being hindered.

InDesign 18.2 crashes/fails during PDF export for documents containing placed indd containing Adobe Fonts
Problem/Actual Result
I have Indesign files that have .indd files linked as images. Each time I export an Indesign file that has an .indd links, I receive the attached messages saying that the file cannot be exported.Steps to reproduce the issue:
- I have exported each page to find out which assets are causing Indesign not to export, it is always an .indd asset.
- I have tried removing any transparency from each of the .indd linkages
- I have removed any transparency or object style on any bounding box an .indd file sits in.
- I have tried…7 votesFix for this issue is available in the latest release of InDesign - version 18.2.1

Error on Save : "Indesign is unable to save this file. We tried, but appears to be damaged."
Just started happening with v18.5. And only with very specific files? Have a fairly simple file that I drop PDFs into. If the PDF's on the page that generates the thumbnail it'll fail. If you then resave over the same filename it'll save happily. Doesn't happen if you start from a new file, or from other more complicated files but is very replicable.
Have tried clearing preferences.
