Sound not working in interactive epub
This epub played fine before now nothing that I do makes the sound play. I removed/reimported them but they no longer play in preview or when pubished. These are small free sound effect files like bird songs etc. All royalty free.

PDF Exporting to the Artifact Folder
Computer Info: MacBook Pro 13 inch, 2018, OS: Big Sur 11.5.2
Indesign Info: CC 16.3.2Lately, InDesign defaults all my exports to the "artifact" Folder on my computer (see screenshot). I don't know why. It seems like a bug. Even if in a session, I have already exported from the same file elsewhere or exported from a different file elsewhere, every time export it always defaults to that folder.
The only thing is because I run the files off the server. But, if that is the case it used to work and has recently stopped working. Please help.

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…

Object states button disappears after click
In a multi-state object, the button that activates the MSO disappears after being clicked. No where in the settings have I told it to disappear after being clicked.
Version: I'm running InDesign 16.3.2 (though I downgraded to 16.2 and am still having the problem)
Steps to reproduce issue:
I created the MSO using buttons/forms and the object states panel. Close button should revert back to original state (star).
Expected Result: Button should reappear.
Actual Result: Button is gone after click.Video of ePub preview attached.
The problem is both in the ePub preview and when published online.

subscription status.
I get the following message at random times when launching InDesign - I do not have issues when launching other Adobe Products and I can have PS open and launch ID and still get this issue so I have to believe that this is a issue with ID.

AppleScript Finder communication
InDesign version 16.3.2 with OSX 10.14.6 or later
Indesign script‘s with calls to the Finder or other Apple apps work running from Apple’s Script Editor, but break when running from InDesign’s Scripts panel. Get an Not Authorized to Send Apple Events to Finder error.
This breaks when running from the Scripts panel, but worked with InDesign 2020:
tell application id "com.adobe.InDesign"
tell application "Finder"
activate
display dialog "Hello"
end tell
end tellCalls to other Adobe apps are ok, so this still works from the panel:
tell application id "com.adobe.InDesign"
tell application id "com.adobe.Photoshop"
activate
display dialog "Hello"

PNG import issue with InDesign 16.3.1
Hello!
I'm having an issue with InDesign CC (16.3.1): some PNG files are imported in a green frame instead of being transparent. For example, when I import (whether with the shortcut cmd + d or not) the PNG of an image (1), it appears with a green background, while this same image only with an additional layer (2) appears with a transparent background, as it should. However, it is the same export format with the added layer displayed or hidden.
I would like to point out that this bug only appears when importing into indesign, I don't have this problem…

InDesign crashes when deleting a page that contains a tagged and locked graphic frame.
Environment: InDesign 2020 or 2021 (16.3.2 or 15.1.3 Japanese version) + macOS 11.5.2
These are the steps:
1) Create a new document, create a graphic frame on the first page, and place an image on the frame.
2) Add a tag to the graphic frame. (For example, "root")
3) Lock the graphic frame.
4) Add one page.
5) InDesign crashes when you delete a page with a graphic frame.Here is a file that can be reproduced.

Premier Pro style file linking
I recently had the joy of relinking a project I was working on in Premier Pro. Right click, "Link Media...", the gui opens, I click "locate", hit "search" and hey presto! The experience is blissful.
Please do this everywhere! Especially in InPhosTrator.

arrow/scroll
BUG Report: InDesign 13.3 x 64:
I can't use my arrow to scroll up and down the Effects menu to see the various effects on my selected box. Instead, I have to click to reopen the list for each effect and then click each effect. There are 15 effects, so that's 30 clicks to get through the list instead of one click to open the list and then scrolling the list with the arrow key(s) to see the different effects on my selected box. PS - I reported the same problem with Corner Options; I can arrow/scroll horizontally, for example,…1 vote -

cannot scroll to preview corner options
InDesign 16.3 CC download, Win64: In previous versions of InDesign I could select a text or image box, open the 'corner options' drop-down list, and arrow/scroll through the options to preview the effect of each on the selected box. In InDesign CC, I can arrow through the list but no previews are shown on the selected box. Instead, it takes 12 clicks to re-open and select each of the six options. I have posted this problem in the community, with responses from Bill Silbert and Steve Werner. They concur that it's an InDesign/Windows Bug.
