1. 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.

2. New Version will not recognize/open DOCX files. I do not even see them in the "all files" import tab. I had to resave as a *.doc file to use

3. Can't select a swatch color for text or table fills

   While in an InDesign document, I can't change the color of text or fills within a table. When I click to apply, it thinks for a second, then makes a beep (the sound you hear if you have an open dialog box and you click outside of it), and then reverts back to the previously assigned color. I've tried overriding the paragraph/table styles, but hasn't worked yet. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm on version 19.5.

4. Drag and Drop from MacOS Preview App

   I would love to be able to drag and drop images from the macOS Preview app instead of having to drag and drop images from finder. When the images imported aren't named properly it can be annoying to find the right one. Usually I have images opened in the Preview app and would love to just be able to drag and drop them from there.

5. Cannot apply Paragraph/Character Styles

   Indesign 19.5 and 20.0.1

   Steps to resolve:
   Reinstalling latest Indesign (20.0.1), restarting my iMac, reverted to a previous version of ID (19.5), copied the file to my desktop to open from there, started a fresh document and tried to create new Styles (doesn't let me), opened another document which has styles that worked (they also don't work any more), deleted preferences, and finally I have updated my iMac and that hasn't fixed it either.

   Expected result:
   Font Styles panel should work as it should be (and as it did 3 days ago) in that you click on a Style and it applies it instantly. I should not have to Right Click/Apply Style.

   Actual Result:
   Cannot select or apply styles from the Style panel. Clicking on the style in the panel makes the selected item flicker, but nothing gets selected or applied and it stays the same default font. I can only change the style if I right click on the Style and 'Apply Style' which is clunky OR if it go to Type/Font/etc from the top menu, but that doesn't help with the Styles Menu. Sometimes trying to change the font from the dropdown panel produces no results and it's very laggy to change.

   The whole fonts system seems to be broken across both my iMac and laptop

6. Applying the Brush to the Arc Only

   When we apply a brush, it applies it to the entire angled circle. When we draw an angular circle, can we add the option to apply brushes only to the arc? The color of the straight lines should be "none" so that the circle is not distorted.

7. Mouse click doesn't register properly

   On MacOS IdDesign 20.0.1 and 19.5.1 improperly register mouse clicks.

   As this misbehaviour started recently I suspect that some Apple patch broken something.
   But I do not experience any issues in other applications! Everything seems to work normally but InDesign.

   If you click a frame, InD registers a click-and-hold while I just clicked it with trackpad and lifted the finder up (see video).

   Second, if I put editing mark into the text and go to Paragraph style to apply it, the palette doesn’t register the click properly—it seems it registers a drag, not a click! I can only try to click multiple times in a row, very quickly, and then there’s a chance the click will be registered (as on the second video).

   Clicks with Wacom tablet seem to register properly in first case, while paragraph / text style are broken in both cases.

   I encountered that issue using macOS Sonoma, so I decided to upgrade to MacOS Sequoia, but with no effect. I’m working on MacBookPro18,3 with Apple M1 Pro.

   Work is almost impossible now…

8. Can't apply colour swatches in swatches pallette

   Indesign version 20.0.1
   Mac OS Sequoia 15.1.1

   Steps:
   1. Create or open a document
   2. Create or select any text box or picture box
   3. Select any colour in the Swatches panel
   4. The colour swatch will hilite for a second when clicked, but then deselects and the colour is NOT applied to the object
   5. Same is true for text: Cannot apply any colour to text using the Swatches panel.
   6. Using the "Color" panel however does allow you to apply colours using CMYK or other spaces.

   Additional Notes:
   - Already tried manually deleting caches and preference files from user library
   - Already tried command-option-control-shift while starting Indesign to delete preferences
   - Rebooted Mac several times and also zapped PRAM
   - Only started happening today (I think Indesign was auto-updated by CC)

9. Print to PDF with trapping gives undefined error.

   How about Adobe fix this problem of printing to PDF with trapping. It had been giving this problem since v18. Every printer that images film or plates use the trapping feature for assistance in press registration. Adobe InDesign is useless in creating PDF files with trapping. I guess I will have to start using my Quark Xpress program to do this.

11. Some dielines converting to filled shapes

    Environment:
    CS 2025 (InDesign 20.0.1, Illustrator 29.1)
    Mac Studio (M2 Ultra, 192gb, Sonoma 14.7.1)

    We receive dielines as .dxf files from engineering. We open these files in Illustrator and create a layered file (dieline and art), export the individual layers as dieline and art, then impose the project using InDesign. Some dielines are changing from a stroke to a filled shape (think Minus Front) once the .pdf file is written from InDesign. (line verified as line in Illustrator in both the Illustrator document and the pdf generated of the dieline to use for imposition. InDesign generated (imposed) pdf file is different from the files used to create the pdf. Attempted to resolve problem by placing Illustrator file and using "Object Layer Options" to control desired art. No effect.

    Occurs mostly on interior cuts, not perimeter cuts.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks for looking this over.

14. set default save location to original file folder

    Please make a setting in preferences with two options for default file save locations:
    a) Always save to last used folder (the folder you used in the last save to session)
    b) Always save to doc uments original folder (the folder where each individual document currently is saved and opened from)

    Currently InDesign uses option a) which in my case is a total desaster since everytime I am in a hurry saving or exporting something the file lands in some other project folder where i can search / delete or move it afterwards which results in a bad workflow.

16. Punjabi / Gurmukhi character encoding errors after exporting to interactive PDF

    InDesign 2025 and 2024:

    Punjabi / Gurmukhi documents exported to interactive PDF have character encoding issues. Some glyphs cannot be read by screen readers or output to braille.

    After many hours of research and testing, it was discovered that exporting from InDesign 2023 does not create this issue.

17. incopy

    I am using InCopy v. 20.0 with DropBox. When I open a document, changes that other teammates have made to items in the Assignments panel have not automatically updated like they used to. This is a new issue with the most recent update. Prior to the update, when I opened a file, any changes by myself or other people have updated automatically, but now I have to manually update each one in the Assignments panel. Is there a fix or a setting change that can address this?

18. [ID-4255870] Document Fonts available even if not active

    Working on an indesign document that has its own “Document Fonts” folder that contains fonts specific to that document (not activated anywhere else), then switching to a new document that does not have any “Document Fonts” folder, the fonts of the previous document are still available, but if I close indesign completely and then reopen the new document the fonts are no longer available.

    This is not correct, fonts that are not activated or not present in the “Document Fonts” folder specific to that document, should not be available for other documents that do not reside in the same folder.

    The old version of indesign (19.5) didn't do this.

    Furthermore, if you export a PDF of a document that contains a non-activated font, but which is displayed correctly due to the above, in the generated PDF the font will be replaced by a system font (Minion Pro, Times, etc.)

20. Command-S shortcut activates DON'T SAVE

    Command-S shortcut activates DON'T SAVE

    InDesign 20.0
    MacOS 15.1
    Swedish language

    I noticed that Command-S activates the Don't Save button in the dialog shown in the image.

    1. Command-W to close the document
    2. The dialog shows Cancel, Don't Save and Save
    3. Command-S will activate the Don't Save button!

    I tried it on two Macs with the same setup.

    This is a serious bug and it's much worse than a crash.

    After a crash the changes will be kept by the crash restore feature. If someone use the Command-S shortcut in the scenario described here they will erase all changes with no way to get them back.

    Command-S will do a Save in the same dialog in Apples apps.

    Other users said this bug is not showing up with English language.
