text box resizing causes document to shift in window
I have an issue now that has never come up before I updated to 20.5.1. When I try to resize a text box or image box, the document shifts down and the content box is shifted up. The video shows it better. I then discovered that if I create a new text box, delete it, then create another new text box and delete that one, the issue goes away. I closed and re-opened the document, and the issue was still gone. Have not had it happen enough to know if it will recur at a later time.

Adobe InDesign 20.5 - InDesignEPS Import: UnmatchedMark error.
Has anyone found a fix for this error "EPS Import: UnmatchedMark error" when placing a vector into InDesign? This has been a feature between programs for as long as I can remember and it is really frustrating that so many comments tell you "not" to do this as it is bad practice. It is definitely part of my workflow and helps create smaller, cleaner files, and streamlined, accurate colour palettes.

Bug Report: “Find/Change” Story Option Not Appearing
Hi Adobe Support Team,
I would like to report a bug in Adobe InDesign. When using the Find/Change command, even though I select Story in the selection area, the Story option does not appear in the Find section.
Currently, the only workaround I’ve found is to close and reopen InDesign, but the issue recurs every time. I can provide a screenshot to illustrate the problem if needed.
Please let me know how I can assist in resolving this issue.
Thank you.

Conversion Process
I have ran into a bug twice now where InDesign is forcing me to run a conversion on my indd files and when it does it inserts a '/' symbol in a paragraph. Unfortunately this was not apparent and the typo went into 145 paperback copies.

[ID-4273263]With application frame "OFF", and multiple documents open InDesign 26 will resize them when switching between
Before upgrading, I used to be able to have multipe .indd docs open next to a spreadsheet on my screen, now they automatically change size when I switch between them, seemingly "remembering" the state they were last resized to.

Drop Cap kerning and tweaking
Can the team look at users being able to kern and make further edits to Drop Caps, to fit better with body text rather than having to manually paste in an anchored object to get it to look the way we want?

share for review completely broken in ID and online
Share for review is completely useless and does not work in the latest release on osX Tahoe. I can see the comments from clients listed in the panel, however they are not marked in the document and when clicked on them it does not show you where. So i have to open the comments in a browser (and its buggy even there!!!) and locate the reviews manuall.y. Also, when i update documents (also in AI), i always get a red popup saying that the file update has failed (although it does not fail and the changes are updated). Anyway, a…

[ID-4272075] Interactive PDF Buttons: Button bounding area expands after file conversion from older version to 21.0
InDesign 2026 v21.0.1
I've just verified and reproduced this interactive PDF button display bug by first confirming that several archived versions of the interactive PDF (created from archived InDesign Source files), all function perfectly and as expected. It is ONLY by opening one of those older, archived InDesign source file in the current 2026 v21.0.1 and exporting a new copy of that same Interactive PDF that the buttons all appear differently when clicked.
The expected result is to have interactive buttons that look clean and functional when clicked.
The actual result (only when exporting the Interactive PDF from the current…

PDF conversion
Still does not work with a simple remittance envelope we have - see attached screenshot. After the conversion, the entire document is black and all the fonts are missing. After every update of InDesign we try again and get the same results.

ドキュメントを開こうとしたらアラートが出て開かない
macOS Sequoia Ver15.6 です。
CC2022を起動してドキュメントを開こうとしたらアラートが出て開けません。
アラートは「モーダルダイアログまたは警告がアクティブなために、要求された操作を処理できません」です。
複数マシンがあるのですが、全て同じ結果でした。
Yahoo知恵袋に「ネットを切ったら起動した」という記述があったので試したところ、起動はしました。
InDesinの作業はできるのですが、ネットワークが使えないと、さまざまな支障が出てくるので、
ネットを切らずに起動できるようにしたいのです。
InDesignのバージョンは2022、2023、2024、2025を試しましたが、全て同じでした。
マシンの再起動も試しました。
OSの設定（セキュリティなど）諸々試しましたが、変化なしでした。
恐らく、起動時のAdobeの認証他の動作に問題がある気がします。

Share for Review fails to update - InDesign 2026
InDesign 2026 v21.0 (the latest update)
Creating a new Share for Review link works without issue. However, updating an existing review link consistently triggers the error: “There was an error updating the artifact.” When this happens, the review document does not update. The only way to refresh the content is by generating a new review link, which unfortunately removes all previously added comments.
This is not a new problem, it’s a recurring issue that has resurfaced for many users, seemingly starting again around late October. It’s extremely frustrating, especially since Share for Review has become an essential part of how…
