1. Layers not exporting properly to PDF (v20.0 2025)

   Before the 20.0 2025 update I had a simple ID file with multiple layers. I exported with PDF 1.5 presets, Create Acrobat Layers checked and Export Layers: All Layers chosen. All layers visible in the PDF and opens up in AI as expected, with layers.

   Since the update, same file, same presets etc. I export and all layers still visible in Acrobat, but does not open in AI properly. Instead all laters in one layer, as paths.

3. Inset spacing no longer working after re-installing InDesign 2025

   I re-installed InDesign 2025 because some windows were blank ('Text Wrap', 'Paragraph' & 'Colour'). It solved that issue but developed a new issue - it wouldn't save. So I re-installed again without keeping any settings/preferences, this time it developed a new issue - Inset spacing no longer works.
   What is going on?

4. [ID-4263586] Adobe InDesign 2025 text justify buttons issue

   In the latest update of InDesign 2025 (as of writing this), there is a problem with the text justification buttons in the toolbar.

   Previously, you could click these buttons and then just keep typing into your currently active text frame, which is what one would expect from previous versions of InDesign.

   With the latest update, keyboard focus instead shifts over to these buttons, taking focus away from the text frame and your current text cursor position.
   This is completely useless, and makes it more difficult than it should be to, say, change the justification at a certain line of text and then keep typing or navigating the text in the frame.

   Would appreciate a fix for this, as it is causing severe interruptions to my workflow, and the feature/bug benefits no one.

5. Data Merge Issue with Chinese Characters in Adobe InDesign 2025

   Version of Adobe InDesign

   Adobe InDesign 2017 (English version)
   Adobe InDesign 2025 (20.0, Traditional Chinese version)
   Steps to Reproduce the Issue

   Open Adobe InDesign and create a new document.
   Prepare a CSV file with Traditional Chinese text using UTF-8 encoding.
   Use the Data Merge feature to import the CSV file into InDesign.
   Place the merged data field into the document layout.
   Preview or finalize the merge.
   Expected Result

   The Chinese characters in the CSV file should be displayed correctly in the merged document without any distortion or encoding issues.
   Actual Result

   The Chinese characters appear as garbled text (random symbols or question marks) during the merge preview and in the final output.
   Switching to different fonts (e.g., TrueType, OpenType, or system default fonts) does not resolve the issue.
   Attempts with different encoding formats (UTF-8, UTF-16, etc.) and alternative CSV/text file formats (via Google Sheets, TextEdit) also fail.
   Upgrading to Adobe InDesign 2025 (20.0) Traditional Chinese version does not fix the issue.

6. Document made in InDesign 2024 no longer loads in InDesign 2025

   InDesign 2025 (v20.0)

   is unable to open a document (a 400 page book in one single file) that I finished a few days before updating InDesign. It was made using version 19.5. I've tried several versions of the book: both the last work file and a finished packaged version on a separate drive. I have also tried opening an older version before the latest changes with no luck.

   There are no error messages. It just starts loading it and then after a while, doesn't anymore. The book doesn't appear in the Open Recent list either even after several attempts and restarts. This is on an iMac Pro 2017.

   Reverting to version 19.5 and the book opens just fine.

   Fortunately the book is already being printed. So I guess I won't get fired. :)

   We would require more information for the same. Are you not able to open any InDesign document created from ID19.x version in ID20.0 or is it specifically happening with only a specific document?

8. InDesign 2025 can't read metadata from multiple images

   macOS 15.2, InDesign 20.0.1

   Problem: Metadata inside an image not being recognized by InDesign 2025.

   Details:

   Multiple images from different sources containing metadata that InDesign doesn't recognize
   Presence of metadata in XMP Description field verified in Bridge and via InDesign's Links panel XMP File Info command.
   Generating a Live Caption or Static Caption when using the Description field returns "<No data from link>".
   Setting Object Export Options > Alt Text Source to From XMP: Description results in "metadata property is not present on some selected content".
   When a PDF is generated using the images in question, the metadata is not passed through to the PDF, resulting in missing alt text accessibility errors.
   Manually writing (or copying and pasting) the metadata to the Alt Text Source as Custom works, but as does manually creating a caption, but automation is the point.

9. Links Not Auto Updating when Modified in InDesign 2025

   My workflow typically involves opening links from the InDesign document to edit by selecting the link from the Links panel and choosing Edit Original. In InDesign 2025, however, I've noticed that links are no longer updating whether it's a PSD or AI file and I assume other file types. This has never been the case before.

   I tried a test with a new file and placed two assets to the file. One was a PSD and the other was an AI. I then opened the links from InDesign, made an edit to each (one at a time), saved, closed, and went back to InDesign. Both links show up as modified with a warning in the preflight instead of updated.

   I thought the point of modifying links through InDesign was to avoid having to manually update all the links. I guess I'll just modify outside of InDesign and make the selection to update all on file open until this is fixed...

   My OS is Windows 10.

10. InDesign 2025 (v20.0) is allowing me to open the same file more than once

    InDesign 2025 (v20.0) is allowing me to open 2024 v19.5 files more than once. It doesn't seem to be an issue once the file is converted from 19.5 to 20.0 but it's concerning as I edit files made previously.

11. Issue Report: Kerning Not Applied with Ligatures Enabled in InDesign 2024/2025 (Regression from 2023

    Description:
    A kerning issue occurs in Adobe InDesign 2024 and 2025 when using ligature-supported fonts like Microsoft Uighur Font. Manual kerning adjustments fail to apply when ligatures are enabled. This problem does not occur in InDesign 2023, where disabling ligatures allows kerning to function as expected.

    ---

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Font Setup: Use Microsoft Uighur Font in InDesign 2024/2025. (I use my personal font)
    2. Text Input: Type a word containing the ligature اللہ (e.g., any two Arabic text).
    3. Enable Ligatures: Ensure ligatures are turned on (Character panel > Ligatures: ON).
    4. Apply Manual Kerning: Attempt to adjust kerning between characters (e.g., using Alt + Arrow Keys).
    - Observed Result: Kerning adjustments do not take effect.
    5. Disable Ligatures: Turn ligatures off (Character panel > Ligatures: OFF).
    - Observed Result: Kerning now works as expected.

    Expected Behavior:
    Manual kerning should apply regardless of ligature settings, as seen in InDesign 2023.

    Affected Versions:
    - Broken: InDesign 2024 & 2025
    - Working: InDesign 2023

    ---

    Request for Assistance:
    Has anyone encountered this regression? Are there known fixes or workarounds for newer InDesign versions? Testing with Microsoft Uighur Font and the ligature اللہ should replicate the issue. Any guidance or insights would be appreciated!

    (Note: Ensure OpenType features are not overriding settings, and test in a new document with default preferences.)

14. Crop Marks not displaying correctly with indesign 2025

    My bleed is set to 10mm on all sides, and I've clicked to offset the crop marks by 10mm also. In the exported PDF though, the bleed amount is included but the crop marks show to cut at the bleed line rather than the cut line if that makes sense! See screenshot. Please help - need to submit signage artwork today and would only take 2 secs to do if this would work as it always has done in the past!!!

17. Adobe InDesign 2024 and 2025 crash when pasting certain string into text box with particular font

    Hi, I’m a type designer and font delveloper (for more than 20 years) and have made a custom font (Latin) that makes extensive use of the Contextual Alternates feature (calt). Let's call the font FontXyz, it’s an OpenType CFF font (.otf).

    These are the steps that always cause InDesign to crash
    1: Text cursor is in an empty text box where my FontXyz is already set
    2: Pasting the string “1234,-”
    3: Crash

    I can prevent the crash by:
    a: Putting my cursor in between two spaces and then pasting the string “1234,-”
    b: Pasting the string without the “-”, thus pasting “1234,”

    The font has passed various validation tests (Fontbakery (even the “check-adobefonts” one), FontGoggles, Font Validator) and works without any issues in other MacOS apps (such as Microsoft Word, Pages, Figma and browsers).

    The crash occurs in Adobe CC InDesign 2024 and 2025
    I'm running MacOS 15.5

    Hi Adobe team,

    I’m experiencing repeated, non-reproducible hangs in InDesign 2025 (v20.3.1) when interacting with certain modal dialog panels — such as Panel Options, Color Panel settings, and similar. This occurs on macOS 15.5 (Sequoia). After clicking inside one of these dialogs, InDesign sporadically becomes unresponsive (beachball), requiring a force quit via “Force Quit Applications.”

    The issue existed before a complete clean install of macOS and continues to occur even after the fresh system setup with no migration or prior settings carried over.

    Here are the key system details:
    • macOS version: 15.5 (24F74) – Developer Beta (Sequoia)
    • Mac model: MacBook Pro 16” M1 Max, 64 GB RAM
    • Displays: Dual Apple Studio Displays
    • InDesign version: 20.3.1 (latest Creative Cloud release as of June 2025)
    • No plugins installed
    • Font manager: RightFont (fonts synced via Dropbox folder, no Adobe plugin)
    • User environment: Freshly created custom workspaces
    • Documents: Problem occurs even with new, blank files
    • macOS was clean-installed from scratch before testing

    The hangs are unpredictable and extremely disruptive — multiple times a day — making productive work almost impossible. It’s incredibly frustrating to deal with such instability in basic UI operations like opening panel dialogs.

    Attached is a .hang report from macOS, which shows the InDesign main thread stalling in:
    UI::ModalDialogManager::RunModalLoop()
    BscModalDialog::DoModal()
    ControlPanel::ShowOptionsDialog()

    Other threads remain idle, indicating a UI-level deadlock — likely caused by a modal dialog waiting on OS-level window interaction that never completes.

    This seems related to changes in macOS 15’s window or dialog behavior, potentially affecting how InDesign renders or processes modal components.

    I understand Sequoia is still in beta, but since the issue exists in InDesign’s current public release (20.3.1) and is severe enough to disrupt daily work, I wanted to report it early.

    Please let me know if you’d like additional crash/hang logs or screen recordings — happy to assist further.

    Thanks,
    Marc

19. Selecting object defining box appears only after leaving area

    Since 2025 installed and object or text box, once selected, does not show selected until mouse is moved away from selected area.

    This is not the case in 2024 application.

20. InDesign 2025 changes frame size while applying object style

    If you apply an object style with only height set in size/position tab, and inset spacing, the width of the frame changes adding the inset spacing to the width. For example: 100mm width frame (no style applied) and an object style with height set to 25mm and 5mm of inset spacing in both sides (left/right). The frame with applied style will result in 110mm width.
