2. won't save

   InDesign 2021 randomly looses the ability to export or save. The dialog box won't even come up, even though the menu option isn't greyed out. This makes me loose all progress.

4. Swatch Tint becomes black in stead of white

   When adding a swatch color to a flat grayscale image, setting the tint makes the color darker in stead of lighter.
   See how the color preview behaves the right way, but the image does not.

6. InDesign v.17.1: Crashes while pasting.

   InDesign v.17.1: Crashes while pasting. Elements disappearing. Working on an InDesign 2020 file, 2nd edition of a book. It's a 496-page book, full of tables and images. For some unknown reason, a lot of elements have just disappeared from a few pages and when I try to paste anything into the file, InDesign just shuts down. Please help.

   PS: After a couple of hours of searching, I found this text frame containing the text that has disappeared. It has a chapter name that had gone missing. This has happened only in one section of the book. This particular style 'Chapter Name' has been used 64 times in the book, and in this section, the colour has been changed by applying character style.

   When I expand the frame the chapter name is visible but immediately after that, InDesign crashes.

   The file I am working on is lengthy and very complicated, so I am hoping that I don't have to re-do the entire book.

   Can someone please help me resolve this issue?

7. There does not seem to be a way to activate the Japanese Paragraph composer in the English version of InDesign

   I am an native English speaker and use InDesign primarily in English. I sometimes have projects in other languages; i actually read a fair bit of Japanese and noticed that the lines were breaking even wtih World-ready paragraph composer turned on. I then learned that InDesign has both Japanese paragraph and single-line composers, whhich appear to be accessible in PREFERENCES under Advanced Type, but this does not seem to do anything I need done with the text.

   i was told I must install the Japanese language version of InDesign to apply this feature. It would be wonderful if that would work in the one version.

   At least I can read enough Japanese to use the J-language edition, but I work in other languages i cannot read; if other languages have this issue, I hope there will be some good solutions for them, too!

   Thank you.

9. InDesign is removing caps from file names

   InDesign 17.1 x64 Often (most of the time, but not always) when I overwrite (File Save As) or Export to a PDF that already exists and overwrite the current file, the new file name becomes all small letters (removes my caps). It only happens with InDesign. I can overwrite PDFs from Word, Access, etc and it never happens. This is very frustrating. Just started happening with version 17.

10. cells selection

    Bug 1:

    See "Table 1" in the provided screenshot.
    Make a table with 3 columns and 3 rows.
    Merge the first 2 cells of the first row.
    Now you have 2 cells in the first row. (A and B).
    Set the contents of other cells to C, D, E, F, G, H.
    Now select cells B, D and E.
    If you click on the Edit menu, InDesign crash.
    If you choose File -> Export, InDesign crash.
    On the scripting side, calling document.selection throw an exception and it is not possible to get the current selection.

    Bug 2:
    See "Table 2" in the provided screenshot.
    Make a table with 2 columns and 4 rows.
    Split the second cells of the first row.
    Now you have 3 cells on the first row.
    Set the contents of the cells to numbers from 1 to 9.
    Now select cells 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (skip cell 3).
    Run this code:

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var selectedCells = doc.selection[0].cells;

    var i, ilen, contents = [];

    for (i = 0, ilen = selectedCells.length; i < ilen; i++) {
    contents.push(selectedCells[i].contents);
    }

    alert(contents.join('-'));

    expected result: 1-2-4-5-6-7-8-9
    current result: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (cell 3 is not part of the selection, cell 9 is missing).

    Applescript and VBscript don't have this problem, only ExtendScript.
    This happens with all versions of InDesign.

    See "Table 1" in the provided screenshot.

11. PDF's Exporting at Large File Sizes

    I've been running into an issue with PDF's exporting at large file sizes. This became apparent to me after the 2022 update. Here is an example of how this occurs and disrupts my workflow.

    I recently sent a exported a PDF from an indd project that linked to 13 PSD's. The exported PDF file size came to relatively manageable 10 MBs.

    I later updated the same project, now including 20 linked PSD's. This PDF export came to 184 MBs!

    When I've run into this in the past, I've had to either convert the PSD's to JPG's, or run some kind of other optimization out of Acrobat. This is an OK workaround when in a crunch, but I prefer to keep the workflow of source images to PSD's, intact. The downside to running optimization out of acrobat is noticeable loss in image quality, especially in the red channel of JPG's. In the above example, running optimization out of Acrobat reduced the PDF from 184 MBs to 4 MBs, with some, but not too terrible, loss in image quality.

    It's highly likely that this jump in export size is due to the PSD's. My research has lead me to believe this has something to do with meta data carried over in the PSD's, but it still seems like an extreme shift in export size.

    Any thoughts on what the cause of this extreme file size could be? Can export to PDF image options be refined to mitigate this? Like enhanced image flattening, conversion, or meta data remove (if this is indeed the source of the issue). Are there any options that exist that I'm missing? Though, the variable here seems to be the PSD's themselves.

    I've included systems specs, and PDF export settings as attachments for reference, below.

    System Specs:
    Windows 10 Pro 20H2
    AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950x 16-Core 3.5 GHz
    128 GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

13. switching between open files

    Version 17.1
    Every time I have two ID files open (or more than one file), switching between them takes approximately 30 seconds. This has been happening on and off for a few months, but now happens every time I have more than one file open.

14. InDesign Server removes locks from locked layers during opening the document

    Hi,

    We ran into to the following issue on InDesign Server: after opening, saving and closing a document that contains layers that are locked, these layers become unlocked.

    The issue is reproducible on InDesign Server 16.4.0, 16.4.1, 17.0.0.

    The issue is not reproducible with version 15.x and 16.0.0, so it must have been introduced in InDesign Server 16.2.1 or 16.4.0.

    Scenario (on IDS 16.4.1):

    1. InDesign: create a document ‘~/Desktop/local2021.indd’

    2. Create 3 layers

    3. Lock all layers

    4. Save and close the document

    5. Run the script below on InDesign Server 2021 (16.4.1),

    ---

    targetengine "session"

    function main()
    {
    try {
    var docFile = new File("~/Desktop/local2021.indd");
    var doc = app.open( docFile );
    doc = doc.save( docFile);
    doc.close(SaveOptions.YES)
    } catch (error) {
    alert( "message: name =[" + error.name + "]; message = [" + error.message + "];" );
    }
    }

    main();

    ---

    (6). Open the document again in InDesign

    → the layer locks are gone!

    The same scenario is reproducible on InDesign Server 17.0.0.

    We found that the removal of the locks from the layers happen during the opening of the document.
    Evidently, the locks on the layers should remain untouched when opening a document in InDesign Server.

    We reported this issue directly to Adobe. It's known as #ID-4228851.

    regards,

    Carlo

15. scroll arrows missing

    Here is a new bug in InDesign 2022
    This bug didn't exist in InDesign 2019
    Here isi it :
    In OBJECT menu > Object's layers options :
    The small window doesn't have scroll arrows anymore. They are very usefull to scroll the list screen per screen.
    Now, ther is only a vertical scroll cursor and it isn't precise at all : impossible to use with a list of 40, 50 layers.

    The window should be resizable too please.

16. Switch off UI scaling feature in ID v17

    @Adobe programming team:

    Please add a switch that let the user decide to turn on or switch off the UI feature invented in ID v17. Please see attached screenshot (german version).

    Reason: Users with a Windows scaling factor above 100% can no longer display all panels because they overlap and are way to big. No lower scaling possible, only higher.
    ID misinterprets that the user has high-DPI monitors when using a scaling factor of e.g. 125%.
    Alternatively, the scaling range could be extended having additional lower "stops".

    It was no problem to display panels in the correct size in ID 16.4 before the new feature was added. Can't work with ID v17 since a bunch of weeks and had to rollback to 16.4.

    Please ask the programming team if such a switch can be added in an upcoming update. Myself and sure a lot of other Windows users don't need the feature or it's not working correctly like in my case.

    Thanks,
    Regards

18. cells selection

    Bug 1:

    See "Table 1" in the provided screenshot.
    Make a table with 3 columns and 3 rows.
    Merge the first 2 cells of the first row.
    Now you have 2 cells in the first row. (A and B).
    Set the contents of other cells to C, D, E, F, G, H.
    Now select cells B, D and E.
    If you click on the Edit menu, InDesign crash.
    If you choose File -> Export, InDesign crash.
    On the scripting side, calling document.selection throw an exception and it is not possible to get the current selection.

    Bug 2:
    See "Table 2" in the provided screenshot.
    Make a table with 2 columns and 4 rows.
    Split the second cells of the first row.
    Now you have 3 cells on the first row.
    Set the contents of the cells to numbers from 1 to 9.
    Now select cells 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (skip cell 3).
    Run this code:

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var selectedCells = doc.selection[0].cells;

    var i, ilen, contents = [];

    for (i = 0, ilen = selectedCells.length; i < ilen; i++) {
    contents.push(selectedCells[i].contents);
    }

    alert(contents.join('-'));

    expected result: 1-2-4-5-6-7-8-9
    current result: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (cell 3 is not part of the selection, cell 9 is missing).

    Applescript and VBscript don't have this problem, only ExtendScript.
    This happens with all versions of InDesign.

    This bug was already reported over a year ago (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/41451565-script-selection-on-merged-row-makes-indesign-cr)

    Please fix as soon as possible!!!!

    why is it not possible to upload .indd files? You are talking about InDesign bugs and it is not possible to provide a .indd file???? Why???

    Bug 1:

    See "Table 1" in the provided screenshot.
    Make a table with 3 columns and 3 rows.
    Merge the first 2 cells of the first row.
    Now you have 2 cells in the first row. (A and B).
    Set the contents of other cells to C, D, E, F, G, H.
    Now select cells B, D and E.
    If you click on the Edit menu, InDesign crash.
    If you choose File -> Export, InDesign crash.
    On the scripting side, calling document.selection throw an exception and it is not possible to get the current selection.

    Bug 2:
    See "Table 2"… more

20. Slow creation of PDF low-res

    In addition to the problem I posted regarding a conflict between ID and Windows 11, I did resolve that by moving to an earlier release of ID. However, the creation of the low-res PDF now consumed the time it normally takes to produce a high-res print-ready export. Something is going on with ID 17.1.
