Generating traceable and dynamic QR codes
Currently, creating codes with InDesign is very simple, but limiting. In fact, it is not possible to trace the code or modify it once it is printed.
To create dynamic QR codes, with modifiable links after printing, it is necessary to rely on third-party websites, such as QR code generator, which however requires a paid subscription.
If instead we simply want to trace a link, we can upload it to BITLY... but always outside Adobe.
It would be useful to have all this already included in Adobe, maintaining the ease of creation, the possibility of modifying the link once your…

Stock image names are too long
When using licensed Adobe stock images, the names from the catalog are entered as the file name which causes the files to not be able to be packaged, resulting in an error. I suggest making it so that the files enter the library as Stock #s instead to avoid this issue.

Package doesn't include some fonts
When a supplied InDesign package with ALL necessary Document Fonts is re-packaged for distribution NOT ALL of those Fonts previously included will be re-packaged.
So, pretty much after the new package is created you have to compare the Document Fonts folders between the 2 to see which fonts are missing, or look through the new packaged document to see which ones are indeed missing.

dashed lines
Hi I'm just wondering what could be causing dashed lines to print with 'ticks'? The file exports to PDF showing as normal (first image) but prints dashed lines as shown in the second image.
The same thing happens (randomly) with images created in Illustrator as well as boxes created in Indesign.

Unable to print using Separations with trap Application Built In
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…

Packaging without fonts folder
I use Adobe InDesign 17.0.1 versionin Windows. I had to reinstall the program because of my device is new. My problem is during packaging. I use my own font (not an Adobe font) and I have permission to use it. The font family has installed on my device, but the fonts folder is still missing from the final folder after packaging. 'Copy font' is selected during packaging.

Saving postscript goes to wrong folder
Indesign 2022 17.0 is saving postscript files to the wrong folder. It saves to the last folder that a postscript was created in rather than the folder the document was opened from. I've tried resetting preferences but that did not help.

InDesign 2022 crash when packaging
I just updated to InDesgin CC 17.0. I have a MacBook Pro 2020, with OS 10.15.7. Trying to package InDesign document with fonts included causes the application to hang up and I have to force quit it. When I tried to package without fonts included, it worked, and saved the links.

Separation preview ink percentages wrong
I just upgraded to the 2022 (v17) version of InDesign, and my separations preview percentages are blatantly wrong (e.g. what should have 200% ink coverage was showing up as 0% for every swatch). Even when it gave believable percentages of ink coverage, it still lagged significantly behind the 2021 (v16.4) version. My coworkers had the same issue, but when we reverted back to the prior version, we had no trouble.
5 votesPlease update to ID v. 17.0.1 via CCD to get the fix for this issue.

Fonts not copying when packaging a file
I've been having issues ever since the update of InDesign 16.4. The issues have been fonts copying over when packaging a file. It's on all computers MacBook (personal) and two iMacs (work). Projects have been different but have same issue. So far I've only gone the manual route to retrieve the fonts but main problem is still ongoing. The fonts aren't from type kit or have certain permission restraints. These are purely installed fonts that I've had zero issues in the past been using them for the past 2yrs and ever since the update they no longer copy over. So…

Printing Documents with VFs directly from InDesign is broken, need to export to PDF first
Hello support team!
We at Dalton Maag noticed that we couldn't print documents containing variable fonts directly from InDesign 16.3 on macOS Big Sur. Export to a PostScript file produces a broken file. The document needs to be exported to PDF first. We found this issue on our client font but managed to reproduce it with Source Serif VF from https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-serif/releases/tag/4.004R.I sent the following files to Josh Hadley at Adobe:
- A ZIP containing test documents, a broken exported PostScript file and a correctly exported PDF file
- An AVI showing how we tested
- A JPG showing what comes out…

packaged files not preserving paths
In latest release of Adobe InDesign 16.2.1 for Mac 10.14.6, an issue occurred when updating a file PACKAGED from an earlier version of InDesign.
Issue was:
Document contained tifs and jpgs that contained work paths. In original document, work paths had been used to clip the images.
However, when document was PACKAGED and then opened in ID16.2.1, the paths have not been preserved. They are still in the photoshop file and can be updated by replacing or relinking the image and showing image options to apply the path information, but this is potentially a catastrophic issue for providers like ourselves…1 vote -
