Share for Review
I'm now using InDesign 2022. I open an old document and save with a new name as I have done for years. However, now when I go and create a Share for review, the old file name still appears in the Share for Review tab as the Title. Even when I've changed the title in that tab, it seems to revert back to the old title of the original file I based my new file on. This title is what appears on the pdf that is sent to the reviewers. So this can be very confusing and a HUGE problem.…

Display Performance Issues
InDesign 2022 is having issues with Display Performance that results in spinning wheels and instability.
The only way to scroll successfully without locking up is to adjust the Display Performance settings under Preferences. On all previous versions, I have always had my settings to High quality. Now, the only way to be able to use the program without issue is to change the Raster and Vector settings to Proxy instead of High.
I can continue working that way, but the result is that all my graphics are pixelated and grainy, making it near impossible to see what I am working…

InDesign 17.0 crashes on launch after removing a previously installed CEP Extension
Steps to reproduce in InDesign 17.0:
- Install a CEP extension folder manually to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions
- Launch then quit InDesign
- Delete CEP extension folder installed in step 1
- Launch InDesign, it will crash when "Starting up panels"
As a workaround deleting the following cache folder allows InDesign to launch again.

Delete key triggers place command
Since the latest upgrade, the delete key on my Mac triggers the place (Cmd-D) command. I have to hit Fn-Delete to delete anything. Anyone else experiencing this?

Share for Review - Critical Scrolling Bug with Large Documents
Indesign Version 17.0
When scrolling in large documents (200-500 pages) the browser-window of Share for Review the screen hops between 3-5 different screens multiple times a second. This bug makes the feature basically unusable. Sometimes it snaps back (maybe after rendering correctly?), sometimes it just doen't.
The bigger the document, the faster the error seems to occur. Working on my 200 page-document with my team is essentially impossible right now.
There is a post about this over here with a video: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/share-for-review-scrolling-bug-with-large-document/m-p/12516079#M452898

indd 2022 - black font seperation incorrect in pdf export with some settings
after the update to indd 2022 (which some idiot client editor did in the middle of a magazine before saving and thus up-versioning half the files) I have problems with pdf export. Since acrobat/distiller seems not to have been updated at the same time, I assume the problem is with indd.
When exporting for print, indd exports black print as rich black - regardless of the indd settings - when the export to pdf settings /output / convert to destination (profile) is set.
If I export with / convert to destination (preserve numbers) then black is exported correctly. This is…1 vote -
ID 2021: New documents open in the background of home screen
Windows 10, ID 2021 (16.4)
Bug 1: new documents open in the background of the home screen. See video.
Bug 2: if the home screen isn't shown and you create a new file, the home screen will appear and lay over the new document.
Bug 3: if you change anything on the page, the home screen appears
Bug 4: if you create multiple new documents and close them, it will sometimes ask to save them and sometimes it won't.2 votes -

Vector Objects changing size when page layout is duplicated
While using InDesign v17 I've encountered a bug where some small rectangular vector objects will get larger when a page is duplicated using the "Create Alternate Layout" feature in the "Pages" tab. This has also occurred when a page or layout is dragged and dropped to the "Create New Page" icon to create a duplicate in the "Pages" tab. Design elements should not change when a layout is duplicated, and this did not happen in previous versions.
This first appeared in an .idml file that was created in 2019, and carries over to new files based on that .idml. It…

Anchored text box in a table cell with text threads crashes when cutting
As the title says. It sounds similar to past bugs.
First, create a text box and add a table.
Create a separate, new text box and add a single character in it.
Anchor the text box to any cell in the table.
Enable "Show Text Threads" from the View > Extras menu.
Selecting and attempting to cut the table will lead to a long hang and crash.This is on the latest version of InDesign at the moment, 17.0. I am on Windows 10 20H2 19042.1288. I can verify this occurring on two separate systems.
I've included a video walking…6 votesHi,

When I save out an IDML version of my INDD 2022 v17.0 file, the text boxes from my Master page are in a different location on every spread.
Also, when I tried opening my INDD file in an older version (INDD v1.64) nothing happened. My file did not appear in the window, so I couldn't "go back" to an older version of INDD.

Buttons/interactivity not working
Buttons and interactivity not working. I'm working on a MAC, latest MacOS, latest versions of all things Adobe. On export of my document to PDF, hover states no longer show for buttons, there's a huge lag on the response from buttons, and I'm also having a bizarre issue with clicks of buttons creating a box the shape of the button that is a preview of the page its supposed to jump to. All of this worked fine for me until a few weeks ago and all of a sudden, it no longer functions. Can anybody suggest ways to troubleshoot and…

Verknüpfungen werden nach jeder Aktivität neu aufgebaut // InDesign 17.0 x64 // running on Win 10 Pro
Aktuell laden sich die verknüpften Bilder nach jedem Doing in InDesign (Also egal was ich mache, Textverschieben, von einem anderen Programm zurück zu InDesign wechsle oder was auch immer, 1 Sache mache ich und schon laden die ganzen Verknüpfungen neu. In den alten Versionen lief das ohne Probleme. Ich konnte ohne Störungen arbeiten. Dies scheint ein BUG zu sein, denn das macht das Arbeiten mit dem neuen InDesign unmöglich. Ich kann nicht jede Sekunde warten, bis sich der Screen neu aufgebaut hat und ich weiterarbeiten kann. Die Bilder komplett auszugrauen ist auch keine Option, da es für unsere Gestaltung wichtig…

Publish Online is a total disappointment
Publish Online is an unreliable source for analytics, one its touted features, and it needs to be resolved immediately.
Here's an idea: make it function in ANY web browser or get rid of it entirely. I don't care if it has a 90-minute lag time, please just start somewhere and fix this issue. I am so unbelievably frustrated that I was able to provide analytics after one hour of publishing my document and now, three days later, nothing appears. It's embarrassing and humiliating when part of my job relies on this to function as expected and it NEVER does when…

Mozilla firefox not Working
Several users have reported problems with Mozilla Firefox in Windows 10. Firefox's unanswered error is one of the most common errors associated with this browser. Users report that this is the first time this has happened since Windows Update.
When Mozilla Firefox stops working, it stops responding to your clicks, keyboard clicks, as if it's doing nothing. Also, the Firefox title bar does not respond, the mouse cursor becomes a spinning wheel on the Firefox window.
While there are many reasons for this, some common culprits seem to be responsible for the web browser problem.malicious attacker files

Fonts (TTF) work in InDesign 16.4 but not 17.0
InDesign 17.0 on Windows 10 x64
Opened document from InDesign 2021 in InDesign 2022; it was converted as part of that process. All fonts in document highlighted in pink as unavailable. Fonts are all part of Whitney family in TTF format, installed on my local computer. I verified they were still there in the fonts folder.
Used Find/Replace font and there weren't any alerts to say the fonts weren't available, but I tried updating them anyway (including changing to Minion - which worked - and then back again to Whitney, which brought back the highlights).
Could not export to PDF…
