indesign export to pdf unusable for Thai
Basically all the diacritics are messed up, regardless of font used. The PDF looks fine but the text if copied from the PdF is garbled.
This is in 16.2.1 (2021). It was working in 2019.Johan shared this idea · May 28, 2021 · Flag idea as inappropriate…

Scaling of objects in finest steps
I'm using ID Version 16.2.1 x64. After the upgrade I found that an essential feature is suddenly missing: when I try to fit in pictures in existing frames for example I could formerly scale the picture in very fine steps with the help of the little "arrows" left from the field with the displayed value.
These "arrows" are no longer there - but only in the field defining, scaling or rotating objects.
In the other fields defining paragraphs, font size and everything else the "arrows" are still there as shown in the PDF I'll be sending to you.

BUG - Autonumbering turns off when hiding a layer - BUG
Steps to reproduce:
- Create 2 threaded text frames on a page.
- Fill them with text (Lorem ipsum)
- Autonumber the paragraphs with Autonumbering feature in InDesign - regular 1, 2, 3-list will do.
- Create a new layer
- Move the first frame in the text flow to that layer
- Turn off visibility of that layer....
The autonumbering is gone from any autonumbered list!!!

Damaged File message
I'm getting the same error message "file is damaged when trying to create new ICML files. There seems to be a bug in the latest update. InDesign saves a recovered file and that seems to fix the problem. BUT the file is not damaged, it seems to be a bug in the latest update. Can you guys take a look.
Thanks!!

Files are not opening
None of my InDesign files are opening. I have fully updated the software and all files have been edited on the most recent version. I have tried to also reset InDesign preferences, however this does not work either. Please advise!

text wrap violates indented text next to it
[InDesign 16.2.1 x63/Windows 10 Enterprise ]
When text with bullets sits next to a (separate) text frame that has a wrap applied, the text after the bullet doesn't align correctly.
I tried to upload a file (both by dragging or clicking) and neither option allows me to attach the file. "The following file type [filename.indd] is not supported."
An earlier bug report for the same problem had a response indicating that the issue has been fixed. It has not been fixed.
Fortunately, you can move the tab marker on the affected lines to override the bug, but that's really not…1 vote -
export to pdf destination folder changes after creating "share for review" copy
After creating "share for review" copy, when I try to export to PDF, the "save to" destination folder changes to: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\Version 16.0-ME\en_US\Caches\Artifact
I guess it's becuase the "share for review" feature creates also a PDF copy of the book. but it's annoying to be forced to navigate again and again to my project's folder.
i'm using the latest version 16.3 (middle east locale). windows 10.1 voteThe fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2022(v17.0.0.96). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.
If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application and click on the context menu on the top right and click on Check for App Updates.

Guides Not Working
Guides simply do not work. I've used InDesign since it was created and no matter what I do sometimes guides work in this latest version sometimes they don't even within the same document on different pages. No solution to date. I'm running iMac 4k Catalina version. 10.15.7
3.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5.16.3.2

Text box disappears, styling not displayed in real time
I am using the latest Indesign update for M1, 16.3.2 (Big Sur 11.4)
I am now having problems where the text box that I am styling disappears. I either have to zoom in or out, flip pages, or now go as far as closing the file and opening it, because Indesign is either not displaying the changes made, or the text disappears. Placing a cursor within text is also not accurate, and either a character to the left or right.
These are new issues, please advise.11 votesThis issue was fixed in one of the updates to InDesign 2022 version.

Simple cursor insertion point inaccurate in text
I hover the cursor over the space (between two letters, for example) but the actual insertion point is a letter off, to the left of the intended location.

Idml save as/pdf export location should be relative to the location the file was opened from.
The bugs are recurring after every other update. It's really aggravating since the updates you bring to the build hardly feel like they add useful tools or new functionality. However, the bugs keep returning randomly on different updates. Your standard recurring update bugs are taking a toll on my work quality and speed because they are slowing me down. this is not justifying the monthly fee I am paying. At this point i'd be willing to pay you the monthly subscription to go home and leave the program alone.
Make a checklist of the bugs that keep coming back and…1 vote -

ePub export creates huge png files
When exporting a .indd document as an epub the resulting file contains huge png files in size. These are colour boxes I have created - not images. Some up to 9000 x 4000. This is despite the document being 2300x1600.
You cannot upload the file for Apple iBooks because they have a limit on file dimensions of 4mb (ie: 2000x2000).
Please can you provide a way of reducing the file size of these .png colour blocks before export.
I am using In Design CC 2021 latest version (dated 29 July 2021).

InDesign 16.3.2 on Mac: with GPU, won't render images in frames with a fill applied
InDesign 2021 16.3.2
macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G9323)
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
MacBookPro10,1
Intel Core i7, 2.7 GHz
16 GB RAM
Intel HD Graphics 4000 (1536 MB VRAM)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M (1 GB VRAM)
With "GPU Performance" enabled (or with "GPU Preview" on) images will not render if the containing frame has a fill applied. Note: InDesign reports that a compatible GPU and monitor are detected. Also, it doesn't matter whether "Animated zoom" is enabled or not. See screenshots 1–3.
With GPU Preview disabled (or with CPU Preview on) the images render correctly. See screenshots 4–5.

InDesign 2021 does not open new or existing file when starting software program on a iMacPro 2012 laptop.
I have been trying to open a 2020 doc file in the 2021 version of InDesign. I am able to select the file and once I select it, nothing happens afterwards. Same thing occurs after I create a totally new document.

Tell (X,Y) values of specific table cells
When I have tables in a document, I often have to lay text boxes over specific cells to achieve my desired result and it would be helpful to have a way to know the specific (X,Y) values of each cell so that I can line the relevant text box up appropriately.
