Pages of my 300-page file disappear
Hello,
I recently took over the creation of my company's general catalog (300 pages), which I had previously entrusted to another graphic designer, who transferred the file to me. Since I've taken over the design of the catalog, I've run into a lot of different problems:
Sometimes, entire pages disappear. Sometimes, text and images are preserved and visible when I'm in “W”, but the background of the blank page is no longer visible. As a result, when I'm no longer in “W”, the page disappears completely.
Also, sometimes images disappear, for no reason at all, or strange shapes appear next…

IDML Export and package
- Version: Adobe Indesign 2024 - 19.5
- Export to IDML or package a file
- _
- Since I've updated to the latest version of Indesign 2024 (19.5), the creation of IDML (export and package) are extremly slow. When I have to assemble a lot of files, I get bogged down in production and lose a lot of time.

Test internal page hyperlinks in presentation mode
I don't know if this can even be possible, but it would be great to be able to test internal page hyperlinks in presentation mode (command + W), so that I don't have to export the PDF every time to test them. It will be especially useful for interactive PDFs with 100+ pages.
Thank you!

Ordinals do not work
The OpenType function „ordinals“ does not function correctly.
When I type English ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on), the option „ordinals“ should move the text characters to the top. When the number is at the beginning of a line, it works. But if there’s another word before the number, it puts only the first character to the top and leaves the second on line. I tried with different fonts, and only with one of the fonts it works as expected. What’s wrong???1 vote -

Recent files pulling in recently placed files instead of recent INDDs
When right-clicking the Indesign icon in the taskbar, the recent files shown are all files I recently placed in docs, instead of indesign files I was actually working on. I definitely did not open these in indesign.
See screenshot.

Pinch gesture in macbook changes size of selected image instead of zoom
While working on a macbook air m3, you can use the pinch gesture to zoom in and out of the page, put when you select and image in a box (orange outline) and then use the pinch gesture while your cursor is hovering over any part of the image, even parts that are out of the frame/box, it changes/transforms the size/dimensions of the image instead of zooming. While the image is still selected and you move you cursor away from the image the zoom then works.
The attached video shows how using the the pinch gesture zooms in and out…

JPG and PDF export only exports part of file
I have a huge document (164 x 44 in) that has a number of imported InDesign documents as well as multiple PDFs for a museum exhibit. When I export to PDF and JPG, only parts of it come through. Luckily, I only needed to export the components for print – the 164 x 44 doc was only used as a layout tool for the wall. But I wanted to report this bug. It exported fine until the central mural image was scaled up to size and converted to CMYK, so it may be an issue with memory, though I think…

version 19.5.0.84 quits on open, OS ventura 13.1
Indesign 2024 version 19.5.0.84, OS Ventura 13.1. It will open once, but after closing the app, and opening it the second time, it flashes the InDesign 'open screen' and then quits. The only workaround found is to uninstall and reinstall. I've been doing this for 6 mos, and it's getting old. We all pay for the software to work. I've been using Adobe products for decades and it seems it's worse now. What is the fix?

Footnate Adds Extra Space Above Span Columns
Adding a footnote to the first line of a story adds extra space beneath the second line of a story if line 3 is set to split columns.

If the two text boxes are connected, how does the footnote restart from ①
I have a book that needs to be typeset that is single-column and contains footnotes, but the footnotes start at ① for each article.
I don't want to go through and break up each article. I'd like to typeset it in just one text box, but it seems like the footnotes can only be connected.
Is there any solution to this?
It would be nice if it could be split by "page breaks(~P)" or "frame breaks(~R)" or "column breaks(~M)".

icon
.indd files are not showing up with icons in File Explorer. We have tried verifying default program for file extension, icon file path in the properties, updating graphics drivers, verifying the registry values, Revo uninstalling and then reinstalling, clearing Windows shortcut cache, but nothing is making the .indd files appear with the correct icon. We are using InDesign 2024 installed through Creative Cloud on Windows 11.
