InDesign very slow after update to 16.0 (x64), especially data merge
Opening the app takes well over half a minute, used to be within 5 sec. Closing with save can take over a minute for a single master page with three variable placeholders. The app feels sluggish to use and there is a visible delay after performing any action, ranging between a fraction of a second and a few seconds.
This last one has always been the case, but after update it is even worse: exporting a PDF using data merge renders the machine unusable. Mouse cursor moves with visible skips and lengthy delay between those skips, regardless of complexity of…

I have been working with publish online services for a few months now and have spent the past few days re-publishing the same document trying work out some kinks in the button operations and animation timing.
Suddenly today, I began receiving this error when trying to publish online "You cannot use this feature right now. Please check your network connectivity."
Additionally, when I try to access the publish online dashboard I see this error: "You do not have access to Publish Online service.

Preflight panel Overset text not showing page number
SEE ALSO
Preflight panel Overset text not identifying page numberFor a couple different files, I got an error message in the Preflight panel, indicating the presence of Overset text, but NO page number. In both files, it said it was an issue with footnotes, but not where. One of the suggested fixes is to allow Split Footnotes, but that option is already checked.

After a lot of sleuthing, we eventually found the error. In one of the two files there were multiple errors in multiple locations. The entire footnote had vanished. The footnote reference was still there, but…

Permission issue when opening first time from OSX server
Permission issue when opening first time from OSX server.
When opening Indesign file from OSX server, it gives error message: "Cannot open the document ”Xxxx: Xxxxx: Xxxxxx: Xxxxx: Xxxxxxx.indd”. You may not have permission or the document may be open already." When trying again, the file open normally. File is not open already, permissions are ok. Other versions of InDesign opens file ok.

Activating Font
My Indesign will randomly start trying to activate source sans pro fonts and will not ever finish activating. I can't cancel it, I can't go online to adobe fonts and decative and then active because it says there is a conflict. Because it's syncing it won't export any of my files until it's done ... and it's never done. The only way I get it to work is to force quit Indesign and it will work until it randomly starts trying to activate it again and the cycle repeats.

Changing text color with properties panel.
This is about changing the text color of a selected text field through the properties panel.
Current behaviour:
When a text field is selected the properties panel shows just the color of the box not the text. To change the text color a number of clicks through two submenus are necessary.Suggested behaviour:
Text and box color are displayed directly in the properties panel.Thanks!

Unable to kill find missing fonts background process
If the preferences setting to automatically find missing fonts is set, there are three major issues:
1/ The background process never times out,
2/ The background process severely degrades InDesign performance for everything else, and
3/ There is no way to manually kill that background process. If we could, then issues 1 and 2 would not be such problems. If the fonts aren't found, or the internet connection is hinky, or if the Adobe servers are under heavy load or having other issues, we could just kill that background process and then either try again later or design an workaround…7 votes -
Search option is not working on EPUB fixed Layout
I have found a problematic bug for .epub files exported from InDesign and opened in Adobe Digital Editions. The fixed layout epub file is not searchable.
To note, an epub file exported from InDesign and marked as re-flowable does work.
This is a SIGNIFICANT issue for me and here's why. I have a 700 page interactive book (includes embedded hyperlinks, videos, audio files) that needs to be distributed and opened by the general population and searchable.
1) The design of the book is formatted per page and needs to remain as laid out in InDesign. This means we can NOT…

Share for Review – Filename for the reviewer
I am loving this relatively new feature, but struggling to get full buy in from my reviewers because the filename displayed in their email notification is an Adobe generated random name and not the name of the actually file you are sharing. How can you make sure that the review filename is the same as the name of the actual Indesign document?
The attached is an example of 3 such emails.
I don't understand why the filename is not replicated.
( I know that S4R saves the review PDF in the Artifacts folder – if I force change that, will…2 votes -

Creative Cloud hijacks my entire computer - slow to the point of unworkable
I see this issue so HUGE in forums everywhere and find it frustrating with the support team coming up with lame answers every time, mostly blaming the user and with micro solutions that are temporary. These issues are known issues and keep coming back. Support close the tickets too readily and we can't re-open those cases to demonstrate how this is unresolved.
I've tried every remedy including:
- Uninstall Creative Cloud and all apps and reinstall
- Many times 'Repaired' - pretty much every restart it needs 'repairing'
- Used the cleaner tool
- Cleaned specific cache as instructed
- Made a second user to…
