can't export tagged pdf
Much time has been spent setting up accessible document in InDesign - added export tagging instructions to paragraph styles, added alt text to all images and figures, anchored images and objects to text, set up reading order using articles. The document will not export to PDF when "create tagged pdf" is selected. Program crashes every time before exporting is complete. Have tried on different computers. Applications are up to date. Have tried exporting from .indd and .idml file types.

InDesign buffers every 5 seconds
I am on a new MacBook Pro; every other adobe program runs fine, including After Effects. There shroud be no reason why drawing my second text box InDesign makes it borderline crash. Im working off my internal hard drive and it is happening with every InDesign file. I have the display performance set to fast and I have no other programs opened.

excel sheet names
InDesign doesn't show named cell ranges for excel sheet tabs that start with a number. If the sheet name starts with a number the named cell ranges on that sheet will not show up in the import drop down.

print dialog offset greyed out
The offset, gap and transverse options in the Setup section of the Print Dialog are not greyed out and so available. I tried various document presents, print presets and printers - and no matter what settings are selected these features remain greyed out. I cannot find in help pages or anywhere online how to activate this feature. Please help or fix.

Estilos de linea anidados
Tengo un estilo anidado a la primera linea, donde ha de aparecer en versalita. El problema es que si la palabra de la linea está cortada, no considera que ha terminado la primera linea y sigue aplicando el estilo versalita. También pasa si la segunda linea también parte... La versalita continua hasta encontrar un final de linea que no parte. Entonces considera que se a terminado la linea.

Please bring back the Layout Adjustment!!!
I'm a typesetter that misses this feature to adjust the sink on Chapter Openers. It is the main reason why I do not use CC19.

InDesign writes wrong apostroph. Even PageMaker 20 years ago did it right! Bun in InDesign one nees to press Alt + 0146 to get the correct
InDesign is not able to write a correct apostroph (looking like a 9 instead a 6). Even PageMaker some 20 years ago was able to create the right apostroph! In Windows you habe to put in Alt + 0146 everytime you wonna write an apostroph. This is not only a pity, this is a shame.

Endnotes are out of sequence in captions and sidebars
I work on books that often have endnotes in captions or sidebars. The captions/sidebars are always set up as separate frames (and sometimes as anchored objects). Any endnotes in separate frames end up at the end of the endnote list, regardless of where they fall in the page order.

Data merge doesn't work with UTF-8 unicode file
DataMerge is failing to import UTF 8 text as Unicode.
- Create UTF 8 Text file for merging.
- Open previously functional InDesign document with keys already established.
- Select data source
- Choose text file (UTF8 no BOM) (if you have BOM, file isn't recognized)
- Tick show import options (never needed to do this before)
- Make sure its Unicode.
- Data still comes in in ASCII even though I chose Unicode. This has to be a merge problem because I can cut and paste the data into the InDesign file without issue.

PDF Export displays grey box
Adobe InDesign CC 2019 on macOS High Sierra
Currently working in a layout where I'm exporting a PDF, but one image in the document shows as a missing link (grey box) in the export.
I've tried saving the image as a png, relinking from a different location, changing the display to high quality, checked my preferences, preflight errors, and display settings, and nothing has fixed this.2 votes -
animated gif
The animated gif in attachment does not animate in InDesign or when part of a published ebook. I used the Mac iBook to view it.

"Use Typographer's Quotes" is off by default. Is this a cruel joke?
And this setting seems to automatically reset to "off" arbitrarily. I cannot count how many times I have had to toggle it back on.

Layers
I was trying to export my design to a PDF (for print) when this happened (see first attachment). The elements in the two circles (far right) went missing (these circles should look like the circle on the far left - i used a red arrow to show what I'm talking about). And also, the (black) layers containing these missing elements were locked and cannot be opened/deleted/edited/moved.
After a few minutes, even the white circle disappeared (see second attachment).
Then the program finally crashed and gave me the option to reopen the recovered file but it was damaged (see third attachment).

master page
The header items of my master pages are not always exporting. The top image is form the PDF. The bottom image is from the InDesign file. Notice how the gray rule is missing from the PDF. Sometimes the rule is missing from the left hand pages, sometimes it's on the right-hand pages.
The affected master pages were child master pages, and I was able to get around this issue by detaching the rule from the parent master page, and making it standalone on the child master page. Has anyone else experienced this issue? This appears to be a very recent…

Spanning columns sometimes makes my text move to the next page
I'm trying to span some text and every time I do that text jumps to the next page. I have the keep options to anywhere so it's not a style sheet issue. This seems to be a new bug related to CC2019. Since I am using footnotes and it's going to be accessible I can't fake it and add another text box.

Incorrect stroke styles when opening CC 2019 document in CC 2018
This is not an idea. It's a bug. When opening Indesign files built in CC 2019, from either the INDD or IDML file, often times the stroke style does not translate properly.
For example, often a line or a shape with a 1px Black stroke will import with no stroke at all.
I have never had this sort of incompatibility with IDML files in the past. I do not use CC 2019 because it hangs on every move I make.

Redraw problems when having multiple Textboxes in a Textflow (Often used in DatabasedPublishing)
macOS: 10.13.6
InDesign: 14.0.2.When placing a Text-Frame that Adjusts in height inside of a "Master-Textframe" (Often used in DatabasedPublishing to paginate Products that should not split between columns etc.) InDesign fails to redraw the placements of other Objects correctly - AND IT EXPORTS TO PDF!
This is horrible and has already lead to some huge problems in big Projects where we needed to work this way but InDesign made it a pain.
See attached Video for clarification.
