Hello,

I have run into trouble on the InCopy export from InDesign with regard to index markers and am wondering if anyone else has the same situation.

The export of InCopy files from InDesign omits index markers in specific scenarios due to the nature of XML.

Specifically, if the index marker of a subentry occurs earlier in the text than the main entry, any other subentries after the main entry will disappear when checking in or saving the InCopy file, even if no edits are made in the file.

The reason for this seems to be that all index markers in an InCopy file are combined into a sequential listing of index markers for the document. This listing is created as the computer goes through the text to save or check in the InCopy file. If a subentry comes first and then a main entry follows, further subentries don’t know where to insert themselves in the overall listing of index markers and they disappear.

As a workaround, a Suppressed Page Range index marker can be added before the first subentry as shown in the below example:

EXAMPLE:

We have the following subentries under bacteria:

bacteria, 2

    bacterial memory

        reproduction, 3

    experiment with smoke and steam, 1

    never investigated why it got things sick, 5

We have a subentry on page 1, before the main entry on page 2. Because the main entry is on page 2, those subentries that are after the main entry will disappear and upon exporting the InCopy file, we get:

bacteria, 2

    experiment with smoke and steam, 1

The subentries on page 3 and page 5 disappeared.

Temporary Resolution:

If a subentry is exists before a main entry, an additional “Suppress Page Range” index marker is created for the main entry.

Can this be corrected in the native ICML export from InDesign?

InDesign 15.0.2 slow PDF creation, gets worse the more PDF's i shoot in a row, finally indesign quits.

It all started when indesign was working very slowly.
I fixed this issue by turning off GPU and Preflight.

I have to regularly shoot Hi and Lo res PDF's, 50 at a time, 2 page brochures, 100 pages in the document, the first 3-5 pdf's shoot fine, then it starts to slow down, i spend 30 seconds on each pdf just watching the spinning progress wheel before it will even let me type in the page numbers, this gets worse and worse until Indesign quits.

I have recently paid to have a new 2TB SSD drive fitted and upgraded to Mojave 10.14.6, this has made no difference, i have also removed external backup drive, again made no difference.

One of your engineers actually told me that 30 second wait is perfectly norman!!!!!! Having used Indesign since it first came on the market i know this to be rubbish. I never had similar problems with CS6, CS6 created PDF's almost instantly. This is very frustrating and has slowed my workflow down to about 1/3.

Since I've moved to working remotely entirely, I've noticed how quickly using several Adobe programs burns through my laptop battery. I'm running a brand new 16" Macbook Pro with the latest MacOS Catalina version, and I'm lucky if I get an hour and a half of battery life while running InDesign and Illustrator at the same time. When I review what is using the most battery life, my Mac lists InDesign, Illustrator, and Core Sync as the main culprits.

Now, I understand that these programs at times are fairly graphically intensive, but the battery life I'm getting is absymal, and I'm not even currently working on artwork that is using a lot of complex effects; we're talking basic shape and stroke icons and simple text and shape layouts.

Can you please work on optimizing the programs to prevent excessive battery draining? Core Sync in particular is really confusing; what exactly is it doing? I've even paused file syncing, but that hasn't seemed to do anything.
