When sending a 2+ color job with trap to RIP via Indesign, I keep getting "Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem." This seems to be an issue with the last 3 versions, along with the updates. I've uninstalled print drivers and reinstalled. Deleted cache files. For a short time I was able to print using an older version on Id but its no longer and option. My coworker who is on Mac has no problem printing with trap. Not sure what's going on. I contacted Adobe when the problem first arose and went back and forth with them for over a week, tech even remoted in, nothing was fixed. Anyone else?

Say I have a two-page master, with facing pages turned on.
And say I have a rectangle spanning the top edge of my left page, and say the right page is empty.

When I apply this master to a right sided page (thus using only the right side master), the left rectangle will be rendered onto the left page, even though it shouldn't (as the rectangle belongs to the left handed master, which isn't applied).

This happens when the rectangle is touching the spine, and it's probably rendered by indesign as being part of the right master.
This happens even when the reference point of the rectangle is changed to be on the far side (with regard to the spine).

This is usually fixed by moving the rectangle a point away from the spine, but from searching online it seems like it doesn't always fix it. Moreover, this "fix" is still bad and serves as a bad-practice patch.

This appears to exist for a few years now, and all the answers to this topic are "we released an update", that obviously didn't solve the problem.

Thanks!

INDD 2019 v14.0.2 x64.

I have an INDD book. I export the book to PDF and everything is fine. I export it to ePub and many things go wrong:
(1) spacing between words goes haywire. This appears to happen when they are Small Caps.

(2) Certain characters are missing and not rendered - for example ḷ, ṇ, ṃ, ṭ, etc.
(3) Footnote hyperlinks are no longer working.
(4) ToC hyperlinks are not working.

I attach both PDF and ePub files. System doesn't let me attach epub or zip files si I renamed epub file to "Udana-Master-epub.pdf" - please change file ext to get an epub file. Thanks.

VERSION: InDesign 2022 V 17.0.1

We activated the Museo Sans Rounded font via Creative Cloud and have used it in our documents since 2015. Until recently, the font activated by CC had a font type of OpenType Type 1. This font is still available on CC, but its font type appears to have changed to OpenType True Type.

Documents that used the OpenType Type 1 font in a Paragraph or Character style now show this font as missing. The missing font name now displays as Museo Sans Rounded (OTF) in Find / Replace fonts and Paragraph and Character Styles panels. The font type under Find / Replace fonts is OpenType Type 1.

Documents that used the same OpenType Type 1 font without declaring it in a Paragraph or Character style synchronize successfully with the OpenType True Type font on CC and do not show up as missing. The font name displays as Museo Sans Rounded throughout the document. The font type under Find / Replace fonts is OpenType True Type.

A CC library asset that used the OpenType Type 1 font can be dropped into a new blank document without producing any missing font errors. Paragraph and Character styles associated with the library asset display a font name of Museo Sans Rounded. The font type under Find / Replace is OpenType True Type.

The same library asset shows the font as missing if dropped into a file with existing Paragraph or Character styles used by the asset. The font name displays as Museo Sans Rounded (OTF) in Find / Replace fonts and Paragraph and Character Styles panels. The font type under Find / Replace fonts is OpenType Type 1.

Font display bug – garbled font weirdness

InDesign 16.4 on macOS Big Sur 11.5.1

When flipping through pages I get this strange font display issue. See screenshots.
It happens randomly. Not on every page but at least once every 10 pages.

I can simply turn preview on and off or go to the next page and back to make the page behove normally again but this should not be necessary.

This happens with all fonts.
This happens every day.
This happens on my colleagues computers as well. They are running various versions of indesign of various version of MacOS.
This has been happening in at least the last three or four versions of InDesign.

And, yes, we have tried resetting preferences, restarting, reinstalling, etc

Any explanation for this stange behaviour?

When I place a note, it affects the text box as it's rendered as a normal character.
That is - it affects the leading, the spacing, the alignment, etc.

For instance, if I have a top-aligned text box with a paragraph with letter size 9pt, and I place a note somewhere in the paragraph - the entire paragraph will shift downward - as the alignment takes the top of the note anchor as the topmost "pixel" in the text box.

There is no way this is desirable. Who would want notes to affect their document layout? So I have to assume this is a bug, or more likely - a faulty design.

Thank,
Alon

When unchecking "Grids in back" in preferences>grids, the document grid hides all guides that are places on it.

That is, if for instance I place a ruler guide at the 2mm mark, and it happens to fall on the document grid (or its subdivisions), it will not show.

That is even when the guides are in a different color.

This is extremely problematic, especially in cases where I want to have an image/solid color as a background for my spread, and I want to make use of the document grid and also specially placed guides.

Please fix this, or at least make it an optional preference that we can uncheck.

Thanks a lot,
Alon
