Workspace disappear when opening some files
I am currently on the latest version of ID (17.1) on a PC. I noticed that on a number of occasions, when double clicking an ID file (while ID is initially closed) it launches to a screen without any panels. Only the top menu is available. Checking the Workspaces options, it shows that non of the workspaces is chosen. Only when selecting any workspace that panels appear.
Not sure if this is a bug or if I am missing a particular setting that would have it default to a particular workspace.
Any assistance will be very much appreciated.3 votes -
Indesign 2022 (17.1.0.50) IDLK file does not lock
This problem was recently flagged as resolved, but despite the newest InDesign and MacOS versions it is still possible for two users to open the same Indesign file. We are working on a network volume over SMB and it is possible for my colleague to open the same file I am working with. The *.idlk file was generated by the first user, but it is not recognized by the second Indesign user and sometimes subsequently just disappears.
I also tried to reproduce this issue with Indesign 2020 but all worked just as expected.

InDesign 17.1 generating enormous PDF
I am a book designer and have been using InDesign for years. Just upgraded to 17.1 and finding its exporting massive PDF of a simple text file (60 page novel - no images, no colour, no charts, no graphics...just black text on a white page). I cant get it below 18mb using 'Smallest File Size' which is ridiculous. Previously this would have been 1 to 2 mb. Can you fix this please?

Review: Previous feedback is no longer displayed in previous file version
Previous feedback is no longer displayed in previous file version! This is extremely tedious when checking the files, because even if you make a copy of the file and assign a new review link to it, your colleagues cannot compare the corrections with their comments. Likewise, I cannot check whether I have received the feedback with the subsequently marked errors and thus adopted them.

인디자인 밑줄 기능에서, 밑줄 색깔을 정할 때
현재 인디자인 기능이서
밑줄 의 색깔을 넣어주는 기능에,
메뉴의 아이콘을 클력해서 들어가는 간단한 경로로도
밑줄 색갈을 정할 수 있도록 ,
기능을 추가해 주시면 좋겠습니다.
일일이 복잡한 경로로 들어가는 방법도 한가지 방법이고,
아주 직관적으로 들어갈 수 있는 방법도
있으면,
사용자가 사용하기 편한 방법대로,
찾아서 사용할 수 있도록 만들어 주시면 좋겠습니다.
고맙습니다.

links buttons causes crash
Adobe InDesign 2022 ver 17.1
Trying to fix a link but when I hit the links button, the whole program crashes. Sent a report every time.
Have rebooted computer, restarted computer, uninstalled/reinstalled InDesign with no luck.
It just shuts down and wants to send a report. I have tried to recover, not recover, and cancel. Still no resolution.1 vote -
Cross reference broken by InCopy
A text element with cross references is added to an InCopy assignment. (The cross reference utilises the paragraph number - just in case, this should be important.)
After editing any text (not part of the cross reference source itself or the target paragraph) in InCopy, the cross reference is broken in InDesign. Same, if you change the target paragraph.
This happens in InDesign/InCopy 16.4 as well as 17.13 votes -
Persistent Spinning Beachball
I am using InDesign 2022 v. 17.1. I get a spinning beachball that lasts for six seconds each time I click. Opening a file or switching between InDesign and another program results in a much longer beachball. Several minutes after the document is open, the beachball becomes permanent and the program becomes unresponsive.

Crashes when I try to export
InDesign 17.1 - Today something happend with my InDesign and I can't export anything anymore as it gives me this problem like in the two images. And it doesn't matter if I click on the ok or not, it simply closes. And when I try to open InDesign again, the loading screen appears and then crashes and closes. The second time I try to open and move to recover my file, it crashes. It also crashed even if I hit No. Only when I hit the Close button, then it moves on but I still can't export anything. And I…

Fixing images and text wrap
Since a longer time there is a bug, that makes it impossible to let the text flow around beside an image, while this image is fixed with a anchor mark. The line, where the anchor mark is set doesn’t flow around. That makes an unhappy compronise necessary: Either you don’t set the anchor mark and the image doesn’t flow with the text or you set an manual word wrap.
This should be fixed because in other programs it also works.

Printing to PDF: transparent images on a black background create two different blacks.
Export function doesn't tend to create this problem, but I have to use the Print Booklet function to get page layout and everything else correct.
I understand the difference between Rich Black and Accurate Black, but changing the settings for what InDesign will export seems to have no effect. have tried about 6 different solutions but none of them seem to work, short of me jumping through obscene hoops to cheat it. FIX YOUR CRAP ADOBE.
Attaching two images:
First is Screencap from InDesign viewport.
Second is PDF after print.UPDATE: The website doesn't allow me to upload jpegs, so…

Cannot click top MacOS Menu Bar with Indesign running
With Indesign 17 running, top menu bar on MacOS Monterey is unclickable (Apple menu onwards - e.g. File, Edit etc). Sometimes releasing the mouse makes the dropdown menu appear - but can't click on items - or the menu next to the one wanted appears). Quitting InDesgn restores the top menu to normal functions for other Apps.

page disappearing
Page has disappeared from behind objects. As if the artboard has disappeared, the page is gone but the objects remain. This has affected 20 pages or so of my document. It even exports in PDF as a blank page. I have attached images of what it looks like. This is a disaster and needs to be rectified.

Duplicating Document within Finder Causes Both to be linked to the same Review "Share For Review"
I just encountered a very annoying bug. It seems that if you duplicate a file in the finder (Mac OS) with a document that already has a review, the copy seems to keep the link to the Shared for Review review. Also the original maintains the link. Even if you try creating a new review it seems both files are connected. The way to avoid it is to do a Save Copy from with InDesign. So I guess within the InDesign document when you just duplicate in the finder there is some information that somehow keeps it lined to the…

InDesign 17.1 not working properly
InDesign (17.1) is acting very strange for the last two months. When I click on File, Edit, View or any other topic, the tab does not open. I cannot access any action under those tabs. Also, when I eventually get to work with my document, it is extremely slow to save. It turns, and turns forever. I've been working with InDesign for over 20 years and it's the first time I have so much trouble with the software. How can that be fixed?
3 votesCan you try the following and see if it solves your issue:
- Quit InDesign.

When using frame fitting options > Fitting: is not retaining the option 'None' but defaulting back to 'Fill Frame Proportionally' when checking the frame fitting options.
Select a frame.
Choose Object > Fitting > Frame Fitting Options.
Select Auto-Fit> Fitting:None > Align From: Centre and then click OK:
Then Choose the same Object > Fitting > Frame Fitting Options. and the Fitting: has not saved 'None' but reverted back to 'Fill Frame Proportionally'.
I have to do this multiple times before it saves the correct Fitting:

Uservoice page bug
The uservoice page, when posting or updating an idea/bug report would not accept attachments where the extension is in capital letters, such as the Windows Snipping tool would save them when creating screenshots. Means, a file with appendix *.PNG is not accepted, but one with *.png is.
That's stupid programming!

Bug: wrong row/paragraph counting in tables
Version 17.1: if you have a table, for example 20 rows and 2 columns and you select 10 entire rows, i. e. 20 cells, ID would "Rows: 20" in the information window. If every cell has no more than one paragraph and two cells of the selected rows are empty, the paragraph count should be 18, but it's 21.
When selecting 4 rows, it counts 8 rows and 8 paragraphs, which is correct because it counts cells. When selecting 10 rows, it would could

Slow opening documents with links to a network drive letter that is not present
InDesign 2022 – version 17.1 x64 running on Windows 10.
Steps to reproduce the issues
Prepare a document in this way:
1a Create a new document.
1b Place an image from a network letter, that you can disconnect (VPN).
1c Save the document locally (the linked file should just be on the network).
1d Close the document, and close the VPN connection.
1e Open the document.I would expect the document to open within 5 seconds or so.
It takes 18 to 20 seconds before the message about a missing link appears, and the document can open.
(With the VPN…
