  3. 行スタイルのバグ?

    -環境-
    InDesign 2020(バージョン問わず発生)
    MacOS X Mojave 10.14.6
    MacPro6,1

    カレンダーの作成時に行スタイルを使って、日曜日を赤色にする文字スタイルを設定しています。1[強制改行] 2[強制改行]…のようにテキストを作成し、行スタイルで…

    [なし] 対象6行
    赤文字 対象1行
    [繰り返し]対象2行

    と日曜日を自動的に赤色の文字スタイルを適応させます。

    その後、手動で祝日に文字スタイルを適応する際に「繰り返しをまたいで文字スタイルを2つ適応すると、2つ目が適切に適応できません」。

    例えば2月のカレンダーを作成する際に、11日と24日が祝日なので赤色にする文字スタイルを設定します。11日の文字スタイルは問題ありませんが、24日に文字スタイルを適応させると23日にも赤色の文字スタイルが適応されます。
    そして23日は文字スタイル「なし」を適応させても赤文字のスタイルが解除されません。

    テキストをコピー・アンド・ペーストすると元に戻りますが、保存して再度開くと同じ現象が発生する事があります。
    設定ミスなのか、バグかハッキリしなかったので投稿しました。ニッチな事案ですが皆様のご意見をぜひお願いします。

  4. Can't change the names of Object States

    In InDesign 16.1, the entry box for changing the names of Object States flashes open and closed in a fraction of a second—too fast for entering a new name. This was not a problem in previous versions of InDesign.

  5. The UI is not scaling correctly on Windows 4k screens - UI too small

    Hi, I am having problems with the UI Scaling on InDesign on my 4k laptop. I am using the recommended system scaling of 250% which works well with other apps except for Adobe, most noticeably InDesign. I pay a premium price for Adobe CC which should be reflected in their products. The UI is way too small on InDesign compared to Illustrator and Photoshop.

    I also have problems in all adobe apps when using an external monitor to expand my screen size. Dragging the apps from one monitor to the other does all sorts of weird things.

    I have attached…

  7. dialog window of Export

    I have noticed a very troublesome change in the export window.
    In CS6, which I use frequently, the "range" item lists the prefixes used in the document.
    There is no hint in CC; ranges must be entered "manually" each time

  8. ID attempts to rewrite the book file instead of saving it

    When I finish working on the chapters of my book and close everything, while closing the book file ID asks me whether I am sure that I want to rewrite the book file. I am only asking to save the file, not to overwrite it. This happens all the time, on different computers and versions of the app.

  9. Edit Original not working

    After a clean install of Adobe CC NONE of my preferences pulls through from the cloud!! But I could have expected this from Adobe.....
    Working in InDesign and wanting to edit a PSD file that is used as a background, in the Links panel, I would select "Edit Original" - You would think Adobe is smart enough to actually set Photoshop as the default editor but as a user I have to manually go and assign a editor to each file type!?!?!?!?! HOW PATHETIC!

  10. InDesign 16.1.20 error

    I'm getting this error on every ID project that was saved in this version of ID (16.1.20) after the latest update: <InDesign is having difficulty in reading some unsaved changes in "filename." It may damage the file. Would you like us to try and repair the file? Some unsaved changes may be lost.> After repairing each file and opening them again, if I make any small change even as simple as adding a spaceband and save, the error comes up again.

  12. batch open/close documents with script consumes lots of memory

    I have used the script to convert indesign files to idml or vice versa. It works as I expected.

    yet while I want to run another script during batch process to each file the memory which indesign consumes during process dramatically increasing.

    while normal batch process consumes at least 1GB for 100 document, with running script file with some process consumes at least 40-50GB RAM and It causes computer no to respond

  13. PDF comment zoom changes

    Steps to reproduce: .When clicking through the list of PDF comments and a new entry is called there is a chance that the zoom level of the Indesign view is being changed from its original setting. Expected result: the zoom level should be kept in line with the users setting. The focus should jump to the position even when a marked area might not be visible in full in that zoom level. Actual result: Zoom level changes, sometimes even when only a full stop has been marked in the PDF comment to e.g. full page view zoom which is time…

    I'm having issues getting an existing Share for Review file to update after making changes. When I click "Update Link," it just spins and never resolves.

  16. InDesign 16.1 icon shrank

    Just updated to InDesign 16.1. It appears that the app icon underwent significant shrinkage for some reason (at least on Mac, macOS 11.2).

    Please restore its original size!

  17. Saving BOOK file (.indb) acts as SAVE AS

    Adobe InDesign v16.1 (12 Feb 2021 release)
    Windows 10

    This bug has appeared again, after disappearing for a couple of versions. But it was in a previous version a few months ago.

    When the Book properties panel is open, I make changes to my Book file (.indb) and then close the Book panel or select "Save" from the panel menu. It asks me do I want to save.

    Yes, I want to save... but the dialog box is acting like a Save As... It's asking me for a file name, then asking me to overwrite the existing file, instead of…

  18. Share for Review - Not Working

    I have tried share for review both with clients (who have CC) and with my team members (who all also have CC) and have been unsuccessful every time. When selecting the link that is sent to the users email, they are then redirected to their "Synced Files" and not the review link.

    This has happened whether we share it as private, public w/ password, or public. We have also tried logging out of CC and back in with no luck.

  19. Share for Review breaks when INDD files are duplicated for versioning

    Everyone I know who uses InDesign duplicates files regularly to create various versions of documents. Share for Review seems to have a major problem with this. When I create multiple versions of a document by duplicating an original, InDesign cannot seem to differentiate between the various versions, even if they have different names and are completely separate files. The only solution seems to be if you have only one document open at a time and break the link to start over. It's maddening, as I have 9 versions of important documents that I need to share for review, and when…

  20. Photoshop and Indesign pixel will not be the same

    Spesso per delle testate online devo esportare dei JPG con pixel e risoluzione definita (ex. 336x576px e 72dpi). Rispettando tutti i parametri le grafiche vengono pixelate, devo fare più passaggi per poter inviare un file accettabile (esportarlo in .EPS portarlo su Photoshop e esportarlo per il web, oppure altri trucchetti) e sembra non esserci soluzione attualmente.
    Questa è stata la "non risposta" di Adobe:
    "Because a pixel has no physical size, and InDesign measures raster images in their physical length, not pixels.
    In InDesign Pixels are a static unit of measurement, and is not related to image resolution—an InDesign page…
