1. M4 GPU support

   Using latest ID version (20.3.1) on Sequoia (15.4.1) on two different silicon Macs (Mac Mini M4, Macbook Pro M4 Pro) – neither recognizes the GPU in Indesign (greyed out in ID Setting menu). Monitors used include Macbooks internal display. Without GPU support performance is lacking but most importantly glitches are present (clicking boxes or zooming in and out does not work properly). As it is, Indesign is hardly usable. Other Adobe apps, Photoshop, Illustrator, work flawlessly and recognize the GPU.

2. InDesignで日本語入力時、1文字目が勝手に確定される不具合

   iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020（macOS 15.4.1）にて、InDesign 19.5.3を含む複数バージョンで、日本語入力時の1文字目が自動的に確定されてしまう不具合が発生しています。

   例えば「りんご」と入力しようとすると、「rいんご」や「り」だけが確定されるなど、意図しない文字入力結果になります。

   macOS標準の日本語入力（日本語 - ローマ字）を使用した場合にのみ発生し、Google日本語入力では再現しません。また、IllustratorやTextEditなど他のアプリケーションでは同様の不具合は確認できません。InDesignに特有の問題のようです。

   InDesignおよびmacOSの複数のバージョンの組み合わせで検証しましたが、常に同じ現象が再現されます。

   日本語入力は日常業務で欠かせない基本機能であり、この不具合によってInDesignでの作業が大きく妨げられています。早急な修正対応をお願いいたします。

3. Quiero exportar en publish online me sale Error # 102

   Buenas, acabo de descargar creative cloud de escritorio, estoy probando InDesign versión 18.3, por 7 días, pero cuando quiero exportar en publish online me sale Error # 102. No se puede conectar con el servidor. Compruebe su conexión a internet.

   Tengo una conexión a internet que es muy rápida y no sé porque me sale ese mensaje de error.

   Por otro lado, estoy tratando de enviar este error a Adobe InDesign: Errores, pero no se puede enviar, solo me sale un mensaje que dice: Lo sentimos, no hemos podido enviar tu solicitud.

4. Creating a new cross reference instance and/or changing the para style of existing X-ref hangs Indesign

   1. INDESIGN 2025 V. 20.3.1.73

   2. STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE X_REF BUG WHICH HANGS INDESIGN

      2.1 Show the Cross-References panel (choose Window > Type & Tables > Cross-References)

      2.2 Either a) double click on an exisiting Cross-reference in the Cross Reference Palette to edit it in the (modal) "Edit Cross-Reference" dialogue panel.

      2.3 OR b) Click the Create New Cross-Reference button in the panel.

      2.4 Click on the Reference Format drop down menu .

   3. EXPECTED RESULT
      Show the Cross Reference Format drop down menu, allowing user to select of one of the items in the list of current Formatting styles. This new format will then be invoked in the document layout view. (See screen shot with filename "HANG BUG when x-ref style menu is invoked.png").
      Clicking the "Ok" button confirms the choices made in this dialogue and ends the model window session (which prevents other editing of document(s) to take place during the generation of a new/edited X-ref in the text.

   4. ACTUAL RESULT
      Frequently these steps results in a hang.

   5. ADDITIONAL LEVELS OF DETAIL, TESTING & LOGICAL ANALYSIS

   Seem like clicking on the Cross Reference Format Style menu is always trigger for the Hanging, not any of the previous steps, Though this does not mean that clicking on this menu ALWAYS results in a Hang. Changes to the X-Ref format style are sometimes possible (even on a X-ref that previously hung InDesign) and the operation will in this case always succeed when "ok" button is clicked.

   In trying to determine the subtle cause of intermittent hanging during these operations, it would sometimes appear that this seems to be related to generating a text for the reference that is longer the the remaining white space on the line where the cross reference is being inserted.

   Under normal circumstances, changing a X-ref style is may cause the line of text with the new or previewed edit to X-ref to be overset (the screenshot file called "red dot for overset text.png")

   But in many cases the existing style is not causing overset text, but even clicking on the menu (rather than clicking then releasing on a new formatting Style item in the list) results in the hang. And at other times it's only after a different formatting style is selected the hang occurs.

   .6. CONCLUSIONS

   So its seems to be that the Hang bug trigger is orthogonal to the actual variations in the formatting style settings themselves, and more likely to be the code which executes the menu or the screen redraws for menu changes that is at fault. But given Adobe's woefully buggy code for InDesign and Illustrator, who rightly knows at this point after 15 years of the codebase seeming becoming repeatedly refactored with bad design choices that only make a buggy application worse with each release in terms of application stability with respect to existing Indesign features and functions (many of which have been in the app for over a decade, although possibly enhanced, reworked for the cross-platform JS based UI framework refactored or rewritten entirely).

   .7. FURTHER NOTES FOR ADOBE TO READ AND TO PLEASE TAKE SERIOUSLY

   I demonstrated this hanging behaviour during a live screen-sharing session with an Adobe support worker using their Adobe's in-house screen sharing application. I asked this person to log this as a bug. The poor technical support employee of Adobe was unable to confirm or deny if this bug is known or new to their developers and obvious no idea if a fix was in the works. He suggested opening the files in Adobe InDesign 2024. I have not attempted this at this point, if there is feature parity with the new cloud based InDesign Review system (which new feature logs seem to indicate is the case) and all the other INDD features I'm using then I'll consider doing so and report back on success or failure of this.

   I note that bugs on User Voice forums in relation to previous iterations of InDesign and it's Cross Referencing set of functions seem to litter this forum. So any linkages with these might be worth investigating.

   Might I add that i resent wasting hours of time on buggy INDESIGN applications for over a decades now and then getting so frustrated I have to spend an hour or more of my time documenting the bug as precisely as possible in the (vain) hope of the bug being fixed before the current project I'm working on is completed. I've laboured under this bug for a couple of months now for a project I dont work on every day, it's a long multi-document report using the InDesign Book to combine the Indesign files for TOC, X-refs and page numbering functions with a total number of pages which will be in the 100s.

5. Reflow 3.0 ePub export TOC (RSC-005) error/bug since last update 20.3.1

   Hello,

   I'm a professional book designer. Since last Friday's update, all eBooks are exporting with the entire TOC generating (RSC-005) errors--every link. I'm exporting 3.0. I reexported an older project which was good and it has same errors. This is a BUG. I had tech support access my computer, and he says it's not and that Adobe doesn't care about 3rd party verification. However, VENDORS do and have rejected the eBook. Can anyone help? My business is dead in the water until this is resolved.

   Thank you, Christine

6. Blank screen and forgotten workspace settings

   I cannot believe we are still dealing with blank screens upon returning to an open InDesign document and I CANNOT believe we are still having to reset our Workspace settings almost every time we boot the app. I'm using version 20.3.1 and NONE of these things have been fixed. This has been going on for over a year through countless updates. Worse, it causes the unbelievably annoying popups to keep happening. If ID remembered my workspace settings from one boot to another I wouldn't have to deal with this.

   Stop with the high school level coding and fix these long standing issues once and for all. Jesus.

7. InDesign stops at "Fetching Service Registry" on launch every time — only resolves when disabling fonts

   Hello Adobe team,

   I have been using InDesign regularly, but for the past year, I have been encountering a very annoying and recurring issue.
   Every time I try to launch InDesign, it gets stuck on the screen saying "Fetching Service Registry" and never completes the startup process.

   After troubleshooting, I found out that temporarily disabling some OS fonts allows InDesign to launch properly.
   However, this is extremely inconvenient as I have to do this every single time before starting my work.

   This issue is highly reproducible and happens almost every launch.

   I would kindly request that the team look into this issue and address it in a future update.

   【Environment】

   OS: Windows 10

   InDesign version: 20.3.1 ×64 (example: InDesign 2025)

   Creative Cloud: Always up to date

   Thank you very much for your attention and support.

8. Hyperlinks to text anchors deleted when exporting to PDF and using Adobe World-Ready composers

   The Adobe World-Ready composers break hyperlinks to internal text anchors when the document is exported to PDF.

   Internal document links are composed of a source and a destination. The hyperlinks seem to get dropped when the destination is in a paragraph that uses one of the World-Ready composers.

   The hyperlinks appear to work correctly in the hyperlinks panel within InDesign. It's only once the file is exported to a PDF and opened in a program like Acrobat that this issue becomes apparent. When reviewing the output in Acrobat, the destination no longer appears to be present in the document at all.

   This does not seem to be a problem when Adobe Single-line Composer or Adobe Paragraph Composer are used, but this is not always a realistic solution.

   This is an issue in at least the last 2 major versions of InDesign (19.X and 20.X).

11. Adobe InDesign 2024 hangs on startup. Blocking a few Adobe services works around the issue.

    I have a fresh install of Adobe InDesign 2024 19.5.3.144 on Mac OS.

    When launching InDesign 2024, it starts up, but then locks up after a few seconds with a spinning beach ball. I tried to let it sit for a long time, but it never recovers and I needed to force-quit. Resetting preferences does not help.

    I experimented a bit and found that by adding the following entries to /etc/hosts I can block a few Adobe servers which then allows InDesign 2024 to launch normally and work properly.

    127.0.0.1 p13n.adobe.io
    127.0.0.1 crs.cr.adobe.com
    127.0.0.1 lcs-cops.adobe.io

    With these entries in /etc/hosts, InDesign cannot reach these services and does not 'hang' on startup.

12. InDesign exports out incorrect pdf document when another InDesign file is open and detached from main panel

    This is a weird bug that I just found. I'm using a Mac and have 3 monitors. The OS and all Adobe products are up to date. I am not using InDesign Beta. I have two separate InDesign files open and the second one is detached from the primary InDesign panel and on the other monitor. I have the primary document selected and go to File > Adobe PDF Presets > Press Quality and somehow InDesign will export out the other document that is not selected and on the other screen. I have recreated this twice with the same result. This only happens when I have another document open and detached onto the other monitor. The pdf will have the name of the file that it should be. However, its content will be the other file. Hope that makes sense.

13. pdf to indd conversion has no opt out

    INDD version 20.3
    Mac OS 15.4.1
    Hardware: M1 Pro 32GB RAM

    The beta feature that allows InDesign to convert PDFs does not belong in the core application. I've accidentally clicked on a PDF once or twice when trying to open my INDD doc and it takes forever for this thing to do the unwanted conversion. The cancel button does not work. I suspect it's communicating with the cloud to perform this operation, so the question is: Why is it built into Indesign? Can it not be placed in Express or Creative Cloud or somewhere else where it doesn't disrupt a person's workflow?

    If a feature like this is going to be rolled out to all users of InDesign, regardless of their needs and wants, it should at least be easy to opt out. I'm not a UI expert, but my suggestion would be to add a menu item to the drop down in the Open dialog that lets users designate that only INDD files should be opened from there. That may not be the best suggestion, but the point is: always consider how annoying it can be to use software, and, when your designing new features, make sure you're not introducing another layer of annoyance to professionals who are just trying to get their work done.

14. variable fonts

    In a TrueType based variable font, if some nodes have implied deltas at the edge of outline, that edge can jump around as seen in the attached video. The right stem of the "n" should stay on the baseline. And it does in all other environment that I tested (Illustrator, Photoshop, Chrome, Safari …).

    I tried to attach the font but get an error that .ttf and .zip files are not allowed. Here is a link to the file in dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/69ynar0ds0k44fhsuge2j/ImpliedDeltasVF.ttf?rlkey=zccl17cd67ru4oat5qlt2eb99&st=c469cifb&dl=0

15. Crash of InDesign CC25 resetting the settings to default

    Hi There,
    I experienced several crashes the last days, that is one thing, but I had to make all the settings made in the Workspace, the shortcuts, the general settings again after each crash. this is so annoying.
    Well I know you can export your usersettings, but it does not work properly as it seems, the scaling of the UI does not apply as exported.
    It is frustating that such things make errors within a half year of CC25…

    System: macOS 15.4.1 (2020, M1-Chip)
    INDD: V 20.3

16. [ID-4263189][CPU Mode][MAC]Selection of objects does not register immediately

    I am trying to use the new 2025 version of InDesign - but it is really unusable. Running latest version (20.3) on Macos (15.4). Mac Studio with M2 Max CPU and 32 GB memory.

    One major issue I am having is that when I select a text box, it will actually not select the box until I move the mouse again. I click the box and nothing happens. When I start moving the mouse - it suddenly gets selected. If I do not move the mouse - nothing is selected - until I move the mouse. This makes it impossible to use.

    I've seen some tip on Document Font folder or Contextual Task Bar or Magnet app - but none of those are relevant for me.

    InDesign 2024 version works fine and it does not have these issues.

    I did a test on my Macbook Pro (Apple Silicon) - and no issue there - even using the same mouse as on the Mac Studio.

    I see some posts that Adobe has fixed InDesign with latest update - but that is definitely not correct...

    I uploaded a video to YouTube showing the issue. In the video one can see the pointer icon changing to the selection symbol when I actually click, but as you can see, the text box is not actually selected until I move the pointer.

    Workaround:
    - Switch to GPU mode
    - Downgrade InDesign to v20.0.1.032

    I am trying to use the new 2025 version of InDesign - but it is really unusable. Running latest version (20.3) on Macos (15.4). Mac Studio with M2 Max CPU and 32 GB memory.

    One major issue I am having is that when I select a text box, it will actually not select the box until I move the mouse again. I click the box and nothing happens. When I start moving the mouse - it suddenly gets selected. If I do not move the mouse - nothing is selected - until I move the mouse. This makes it impossible… more

17. Icon not showing in Windows File Explorer

    InDesign v20.3 shows blank square in Windows File Explorer, instead of INDD Icon. Opens as expected in InDesign 2025.

    I have already done icon cache rebuild, repair install, and reset file associations.

    BTW The reason why it's important: InDesign icon isn't just cosmetic. It’s a visual anchor that helps you quickly pick .indd files out from folders full of images, PDFs, and links. Losing that icon seriously hurts workflow — especially in design-heavy environments with lots of asset types.

18. palettes position in full screen

    when in full screen mode, in my particular workspace (which I like, hence why I use it) certain fly out menus don't know that I am in this mode and try to fly up without considering that they are 'off the screen'. So I tend to temporarily change the view mode, do my edit, and then put things back to full screen. Is this a bug? Shouldn't anything the pops open or 'flies out' know where the edge of my screen is, especially in full screen mode?

    I have attached a screenshot of this particular issue, when trying to adjust some strokes in the Appearance tab.

19. Help > Search Crashes InDesign Every Time

    I am using InDesign 2025 on a 2023 MBP with M3 Pro chip on the latest macOS. Whenever I try to use the search function within InDesign, as soon as I click on the search bar, InDesign crashes every single time.

20. Bolding missed/changed while importing Word doc

    I'm using ID 20.2 on Mac 15.4.1.

    I am producing a book with an index that has bolding to indicate photos, but the bolding was missed or changed in a random manner when imported. It was accurate until it reached E, then there were about 200 errors that had to be manually fixed. Here were my steps:

    • Imported file word doc with Preserve Styles checked

    • Search/repace for bold and italic with bold and italics Character Style

    This should have caught all bold and italics and changed them to my style sheet – but, as mentioned, many were missed, without apparent rhyme or reason.

    Attached is the corrected sample and an error version – repeated the process in ID 2024 to see if it would work, but it didn't work there either. I looked at the Word doc, and I could see no differences in the bolded text formatting.

    This sort of error is troublesome, making my question other supposedly automated aspects of this app and costing time/money in workflow.

    Thanks,

    Gareth
