2. InDesign exporting old QR code after editing URL

   InDesign is exporting an old QR code after editing the URL.

   In InDesign I can scan the QR code and it is correct. When I export to PDF, the old (incorrect) QR code is on the PDF. I can literally see the difference ,and when scanned, it goes to the OLD URL.

3. Custom .joboptions presets break all PDF exports in InDesign 20 (macOS 15.6.1)

   ⚠️ Critical Bug: Custom .joboptions presets instantly disable all PDF export in InDesign 20 on macOS 15 — exports appear to finish but no PDF is produced. Removing the preset restores functionality. Confirmed reproducible across multiple systems.

   InDesign 20.0 on macOS 15.6.1 silently fails to export PDFs after a custom PDF preset (.joboptions) is created or added. The export appears to complete, but no file is generated and no error message appears. Removing the custom .joboptions file immediately restores export functionality.

   This occurs even when the preset is a clean derivative of “Press Quality” or “High Quality Print,” suggesting a parsing or sandbox issue with the Adobe PDF Library in InDesign 20/macOS 15.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   Open InDesign 20.0.
   Export a document to PDF successfully using High Quality Print.
   Go to File → Adobe PDF Presets → Define → New and create a custom preset (any name).
   Export again.

   Result:
   Export appears to succeed but no PDF is produced.
   No error dialog or warning appears.

   Additional Notes:
   Reproducible on multiple Macs (Intel and Apple Silicon).
   Default .joboptions files work normally.
   Custom .joboptions files immediately break exports, including valid PostScript syntax.
   Suggests regression in sandbox access or preset parsing introduced in InDesign 20/macOS 15.

   If you’re seeing this issue, please click “Vote” and comment “Same here” so Adobe can prioritize the fix.

4. InDesign 20.5 Mac not exporting keywords to PDF

   ID is not exporting the File info > Keyword field to a PDF. The type of keyword I'm trying to export is like "OS Version 1.2". This has been workin in ID CS6 for years.

   The keyword can't be seen either in Apple Preview in Sequoia, or in UPDF.

5. Segoe UI Emoji font visual issue in Indesign Export PDF

   I have used some smiley glyphs in my InDesign layout with the "Segoe UI Emoji" font. The smiley glyphs appear in black and white in both the InDesign Glyphs panel and my layout. However, in the exported PDF, they appear in yellow.

   Since I am working on a black-and-white layout, this is causing an issue. I am using the latest versions of InDesign 2024 and 2025. I suspect this could be an application bug. Could someone please check and confirm?

6. Setting maximum limit above 2000 for "Always subset fonts with glyph counts greater than:" does not work

   By default, the InDesign preference General > Always subset fonts with glyph counts greater than is set to 2000 characters. However, there are many popular fonts that have many thousands of glyphs beyond that and changing this number to a higher glyph count to accommodate those fonts does not work. The fonts are still subset even if the PDF export setting is set to "Subset fonts when percent of characters used is less than 0%."

   Fonts to try:
   Garamond Premier Pro
   Arno Pro

   This is a major problem for files intended for print that require fonts to be fully embedded.

7. facing page bleed issue on pdf export

   If I have facing pages setup with art that touches the inner page edge but does not go over that page border there is a tiny slice of that art that shows up when exporting a pdf. My client always notes it as an error. Example: left hand page has an image that fill the page and bleeds off the left but only touches the right hand side of the page. I use align to right of page so it is right on the edge. I export to pdf and a teeny tiny sliver of that image shows up on the right hand page. Evident when viewing the pdf as a single page. I have to move the image away from the edge by a 1/4 pt to fix.

9. Outer Edge Bleed Option for Facing Pages

   Description:
   InDesign currently applies identical bleed settings to all four edges of each page, even in facing-page layouts.
   For publications such as magazines, catalogs, and books, the inner (spine) edge bleed between facing pages is unnecessary and can cause issues in visualization, export, and imposition.

   Feature Request:
   Add an option in the Document Setup and Export Settings to enable Outer Edge Bleed mode.

   In this mode, bleed is applied only to the top, bottom, and outer edges of each spread.
   The inner edge between facing pages would have no bleed, resulting in a cleaner, more accurate PDF output that reflects the final printed result.

   Benefits:
   • Reduces unnecessary bleed on inner edges.
   • Produces more accurate PDF previews for client review.
   • Minimizes manual adjustments in master pages or export settings.

13. PDF Export Page Range Defaults to Previous Settings

    Adobe InDesign – PDF Export Page Range Defaults to Previous Settings

    When exporting a document to PDF in Adobe InDesign, the software retains the page range from the previous export session and uses it as the default setting for the next export. This behavior can lead to unintentional partial exports if the user forgets to manually reset the page range to "All" before exporting a new document or version.

    This issue disrupts workflow and increases the risk of delivering incomplete documents, particularly in environments with high output volume or multiple concurrent projects. It would be more efficient and user-friendly if InDesign automatically defaulted the page range to "All" for each new export operation, or at least provided an option in preferences to reset the range between exports.

    We request Adobe to consider implementing this feature in a future update to improve usability and prevent accidental export errors.

14. Bug Report – PDF Export from Book Produces Low-Resolution Images (InDesign 20.x+)

    Product Version:

    Adobe InDesign 2025 (version 20.x and later)
    Operating System:

    macOS 15.4
    Summary:

    Exporting a PDF directly from a book (.indb) using book.exportFile() produces a PDF with low-resolution images, even though the source links are updated and the documents contain high-resolution images. This issue started occurring in version 20.x and was not present in earlier versions.
    Steps to Reproduce:

    Create a book (.indb) containing multiple documents with high-resolution images.
    
    Update links in the individual documents.
    
    Use book.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, ...) to export the entire book as a PDF.
    
    The output PDF contains low-resolution images, noticeable especially when printing or zooming in.
    

    Expected Result:

    The exported PDF should contain images at full resolution, matching the quality of PDFs exported from individual documents using doc.exportFile().
    Actual Result:

    PDF exported from the book contains low-resolution images, differing from PDFs exported from individual documents.
    Workaround:

    Currently, the issue can be avoided by first merging the documents from the book into a single INDD file, updating the links, and then exporting the PDF from that merged document.
    Attached Script:

    // Repro script for PDF export issue from Book in InDesign 20.x+

    try {
    // Select the book file
    var indbFile = File.openDialog("Select a book file (.indb)", "*.indb");
    if (!indbFile) throw "No file was selected.";

    // Open the book
    var book = app.open(indbFile);
    
    if (book.bookContents.length === 0) throw "The book contains no documents.";
    
    // Update links in each document of the book
    for (var i = 0; i < book.bookContents.length; i++) {
        var content = book.bookContents[i];
        var doc = app.open(content.fullName, true);
    
        var links = doc.links;
        for (var j = 0; j < links.length; j++) {
            if (links[j].status === LinkStatus.LINK_OUT_OF_DATE || links[j].status === LinkStatus.LINK_MISSING) {
                links[j].update();
            }
        }
        doc.save();
        doc.close(SaveOptions.NO);
    }
    
    // Select PDF export preset (first available)
    if (app.pdfExportPresets.length === 0) throw "No PDF presets found.";
    var pdfPreset = app.pdfExportPresets[0];
    
    // Choose folder to save PDF
    var outputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select folder to save PDF");
    if (!outputFolder) throw "No folder was selected.";
    
    var outputFile = File(outputFolder + "/" + indbFile.name.replace(/\.indb$/, "") + "_export_from_book.pdf");
    book.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, outputFile, false, pdfPreset);
    
    alert("Export from book completed: " + outputFile.fsName);
    
    book.close(SaveOptions.NO);
    

    } catch (e) {
    alert("Error: " + e);
    }

    Additional Notes:

    The problem started with InDesign version 20.x.
    
    Exporting PDFs from individual INDD documents works correctly.
    
    Previous versions of InDesign did not exhibit this issue.
    

    Product Version:

    Adobe InDesign 2025 (version 20.x and later)
    Operating System:

    macOS 15.4
    Summary:

    Exporting a PDF directly from a book (.indb) using book.exportFile() produces a PDF with low-resolution images, even though the source links are updated and the documents contain high-resolution images. This issue started occurring in version 20.x and was not present in earlier versions.

15. Omitted page ranges are affected by sections

    Summary:
    When describing a page range that omits the first/final page, if there is a starting section in the range, the output results will remain in the page range within the section.

    Verification:
    Create an 8-page document (Figure 1).
    Set the start section on page 5.
    Export the PDF (and print as well) and enter “-6” in the page range (Figure 2).

    Result:
    A PDF of pages 5-6 is exported.
    When the PDF is exported again, the page range is set to “5-6” (Figure 3).

    Ideal result:
    should not be affected by the presence or absence of sections.
    A PDF with pages 1-6 is exported.
    When the PDF is exported again, the page range is populated with “1-6”.

    Note:
    In the above verification, the first page was omitted. Similarly, if the last page is omitted, such as “3-”, only the range of 3-4 pages separated by sections will be exported.
    There is no mention of such a specification in the user guide.

    Verified version and OS:
    InDesign 18.3.0.50
    macOS 14.7.6

    <にほんご>
    概要：
    先頭ページ/最終ページを省略したページ範囲を記載した際、範囲内に開始セクションがあると出力結果がセクション内のページ範囲にとどまってしまう。

    検証：
    8ページのドキュメントを作成する（図1）。
    5ページ目に開始セクションを設定する。
    PDFを書き出し（プリントも同様）でページ範囲に“-6”と入力（図2）。

    結果：
    5-6ページのPDFが書き出される。
    再度PDF書き出しを実行するとページ範囲には“5-6”が入力されている（図3）

    理想とする結果：
    セクションの有無の影響を受けないこと。
    1-6ページのPDFが書き出される。
    再度PDF書き出しを実行するとページ範囲には“1-6”が入力されている

    記：
    上記の検証では先頭ページを省略したが、同様に“3-”のように最終ページを省略した場合もセクションで区切られた範囲3-4ページしか書き出されない。
    ユーザーガイドにはこのような仕様についての記載はない。

    検証したバージョンとOS：
    InDesign 18.3.0.50
    macOS 14.7.6

16. InDesign doesn't export 16 bit grayscale or 48 bit color images

    Tested on version: 20.2 x64

    Dear Adobe Support Team,

    When importing high bit-depth images—such as 16-bit grayscale or 48-bit/64-bit color (TIFF/PSD formats)—into Adobe InDesign, we’ve observed that even when disabling down-sampling and compression, the exported PDF converts these images to 8-bit grayscale or 8 bits per component for color (i.e., 24-bit RGB or 32-bit CMYK), rather than preserving the original bit depth.

    While we understand that limitations may exist within the current Acrobat SDK, it is important to highlight that:

    The Adobe PDF Library SDK (PDFL SDK) explicitly supports the creation and reading of 16-bit image objects in multiple color spaces. (https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/pdflsdk/apireference/index.html)

    The Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) now offers native support for high-bit-depth (16 bpc) images.

    Manual replacement of images inside a PDF with 16-bit versions still results in correctly preserved 16 bpc display, confirming that the PDF format itself is not a limitation.

    Given these capabilities within Adobe’s own ecosystem, we kindly request that InDesign be updated to optionally preserve original image bit depth when exporting to PDF, particularly in professional print workflows where tonal fidelity and HDR imaging are critical.

    Please refer to the attached image samples for confirmation and visual reference.

    We appreciate your support and look forward to your guidance on whether this feature can be implemented or if a workaround exists via scripting or SDK.

    Thanks.

    Tested on version: 20.2 x64

    Dear Adobe Support Team,

    When importing high bit-depth images—such as 16-bit grayscale or 48-bit/64-bit color (TIFF/PSD formats)—into Adobe InDesign, we’ve observed that even when disabling down-sampling and compression, the exported PDF converts these images to 8-bit grayscale or 8 bits per component for color (i.e., 24-bit RGB or 32-bit CMYK), rather than preserving the original bit depth.

    While we understand that limitations may exist within the current Acrobat SDK, it is important to highlight that:

    The Adobe PDF Library SDK (PDFL SDK) explicitly supports the creation and reading of 16-bit image objects in multiple color… more

17. exporting to pdf crashes ID

    I think my company just updated our licences and suddenly ID crashes when trying to export to pdf. I tried saving as a new file and exporting, it worked a couple of times, but at no point would it export over an existing (closed) pdf.

    Added to the above, my keyboard suddenly decided not to respond. I put in new batteries, but it did not work until I did a restart.

    I have tested exporting from indd, idml, both did not work. I'm re exporting as I fix errors I see in the pdf that were missed in ID.

    I tried another restart.

    No attributes have been changed.

    And still it crashes, EVERY TIME

18. Hyperlinks to text anchors deleted when exporting to PDF and using Adobe World-Ready composers

    The Adobe World-Ready composers break hyperlinks to internal text anchors when the document is exported to PDF.

    Internal document links are composed of a source and a destination. The hyperlinks seem to get dropped when the destination is in a paragraph that uses one of the World-Ready composers.

    The hyperlinks appear to work correctly in the hyperlinks panel within InDesign. It's only once the file is exported to a PDF and opened in a program like Acrobat that this issue becomes apparent. When reviewing the output in Acrobat, the destination no longer appears to be present in the document at all.

    This does not seem to be a problem when Adobe Single-line Composer or Adobe Paragraph Composer are used, but this is not always a realistic solution.

    This is an issue in at least the last 2 major versions of InDesign (19.X and 20.X).

19. text or outline in anchored object disappears in print file version

    Just upgraded to Windows 11 and I'm having an issue when exporting documents with interactive elements that have been anchored. Frames for buttons or fillable text that should be appearing are not.

20. InDesign exports out incorrect pdf document when another InDesign file is open and detached from main panel

    This is a weird bug that I just found. I'm using a Mac and have 3 monitors. The OS and all Adobe products are up to date. I am not using InDesign Beta. I have two separate InDesign files open and the second one is detached from the primary InDesign panel and on the other monitor. I have the primary document selected and go to File > Adobe PDF Presets > Press Quality and somehow InDesign will export out the other document that is not selected and on the other screen. I have recreated this twice with the same result. This only happens when I have another document open and detached onto the other monitor. The pdf will have the name of the file that it should be. However, its content will be the other file. Hope that makes sense.
