Sinhala text render issue
When typing or copying texts in Sinhala unicode font, the output is rendered incorrectly. For instance, "ෙ + ට +ා" must be rendered as "ටො" but in indesign it is rendered as "ටො". It does not create any difference by changing the keystroke pattern. "ෙ + ට +ා", "ට + ෙ + ා", "ෙ + ා + ට" renders the same output. I tried changing renderer to "World-ready paragraph renderer" but nothing changed in rendering.

Eliminate Generating PDF dialog box
I am constantly bothered by the Generating PDF dialog box for two reasons:
First, it doesn't play well with my dual-screen setup. If I have InDesign on one monitor, the dialog box often shows up on the othe rmonitor, blocking whatever applications or windows I am working on outside of InDesign. Then I must manually drag it over to the InDesign monitor to get it out of the way. Come on Adobe! Many users have multiple monitors. Your apps should remember the locations of all dialog boxes, windows, and panels and not arbitrarily show up in random places.

Indesign v 18.0 will not open on 16" Macbook pro
Every time I try to open Adobe InDesign it blows out and won't open.
If I delete all preferences it will open. ONCE. I tried launching it in safe mode and that didn't work either. This is a brand new install of an Ventura 16" Macbook Pro M1 Pro Max chip.
I uninstalled and then reinstalled the software. Did not help.
I deleted all the preferences. Opened once. Quit the software, wouldn't open again.
Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Bridge all work fine. InDesign does not.

Missing font is not displayed as missing
When opening the file in InDesign (tested in ID17, ID18.5 and ID 19 Beta) the font is not reported as missing.
Nor does it appear as missing under "find/replace font...".
However, it is highlighted in pink; so ID notices that the font is missing.My expectation is that the missing font will also show up as missing in "Find/Replace font...".

After IDS install or update calls to preflight() don't work unless you manually edit ExportPreflightReport.jsx
Whenever we install or update InDesign Server we can't call preflight() unless we manually edit the ExportPreflightReport.jsx file found here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign Server 2023\Scripts\PreflightWe've had to do this for every version of IDS we've installed or updated (v15, v18.2.1 and 18.5). We're using Windows Server 2022 in Azure (Win64).
I can't attach jsx or zip files but edits required are described at the bottom of this post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/problem-with-save-preflight-report-using-javascript-in-macintosh/td-p/5831477
If we don't make these changes, calls to preflight on IDS don't produce a report. The script (ExportPreflightReport.jsx) works on InDesign Desktop.
It would be great if IDS shipped with…

PDF/X-1a:2001 rendering is broken as of v18.4
Exporting using the PDF/X-1a:2001 preset no longer works properly as of versions 18.4. When rendering plate separations for printing using AFGA Apogee prepress software (which has NOT been updated, nor has the OS), the PDF crashes the render and spits out an error. I've checked and confirm that PDFs worked as expected forever until v18.4 and 18.5, which both produce an error. Saving the PDFs as a postscript within Acrobat and distilling back into PDF/X-1a:2001 fixes the problem, so something is broken in InDesign.
Apogee usually provides better error reports than the single "." in that screenshot, which suggests that…5 votes -
Adobe InDesign 18.5 missing Fonts
Missing Fonts in Adobe InDesign 18.5.
Hello,
Our Corporate Font is always missing in Adobe Indesign 18.5. Our IT checked the Font istallation, Libraray Font Cache ... and we got the Info, it is only an Adobe InDesign problem. Cause the corporate Font is in Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop available.The complete Grafik Team has installed otf and ttf Fonts. (And no we don't use Postscript Typ 1 Fonts.) 😉
Our Typedesigner tested the Font, everything is ok.
We are using InDesign 18.5 on Mac Ventura 13.5. Deinstalling and install InDesign 18.5 new didn't solve the Problem. The complete Font-Family…1 voteHello Romana
Can you try putting all these fonts in the folder: /Applications/Adobe InDesign 2023/Fonts and see if it solves the issue?

Data Merge merges only first record repeatedly
Using InDesign for Windows v18.5.
First of all, I TRIED to upload the InDesign file in question to this forum, and get an error message stating that uploading of InDesign files is not allowed. In an InDESIGN FORUM?
The issue here is the failure of InDesign to properly merge records from a CSV/TXT document. I have a source document (tab-delim text) and multiple fields in the InDesign document. (I am NOT trying to place multiple records per page. It's a single record with multiple tab-delim fields per page.) When I do a preview of the merge, the preview looks perfect,…

Error on Save : "Indesign is unable to save this file. We tried, but appears to be damaged."
Just started happening with v18.5. And only with very specific files? Have a fairly simple file that I drop PDFs into. If the PDF's on the page that generates the thumbnail it'll fail. If you then resave over the same filename it'll save happily. Doesn't happen if you start from a new file, or from other more complicated files but is very replicable.
Have tried clearing preferences.

Position de l'objet et filtre N/B
Super !
Mais il faudrait arriver à développer un outil qui arrive à gérer les plans des objets (arrière-plant et premier plant) un peu comme dans Word ou on a une aide à la position en 3D.
Il serait bien aussi un outil qui puisse appliquer des filtres photo rapides comme en N/B.

Red shapes appear on Indesign Pages
• Indesign 18.3 (but problem has persisted from earlier versions)
• Mac Book Pro with M1 Max running Ventura 13.4.1 (but problem has persisted from earlier versions)This bug has persisted since I upgraded to my current MacBook. When dealing with (usually large) documents, strange red shapes appear on the pages in . Zooming in or out or changing the view or Display Performance settings can get them to disappear, but they eventually return. They are not actual objects and I have not had any issues with crashes or with the resulting files. See the attached screen shot for an…

System wide “Emoji & Symbols” panel is not working
The “picker panels” of macOS and Windows are really nice to quickly get an emoji or special character. The keyboard shortcuts for both work system wide. Almost. It works in applications from Adobe on Windows but not on Mac. I do not understand why this is blocked.

Export PDF is crashing PAC checker due to font issue
Since version 18.4, sometimes the embedding of specific fonts is causing PAC to get a system error. I know this because I sent my file to Axaio (made-to-tag) when I couldn't figure out why PAC was not working. They told me this started happening since version 18.4, which has something to do with fonts. They suggested finding a TrueType version of the font to get around this bug or download 18.3. I use Indesign all the time and need this bug to be fixed.

Could you tell us which specific font are we talking about?
Pl. let us know.

InDesign failing to start up
I'm experiencing an issue where InDesign is repeatedly crashing during start up. The only fix I have found is unistalling and reinstalling which fixes the issue temporarily, but I am having to do this multiple times daily.

Data merge panel blank
Data Merge WAS failing to display data field placeholders in either existing documents or new ones. I'm getting a completely Data Merge blank panel when importing a new source file, and when opening an existing document with a linked file, I was only seeing a preview of one of the records.
This persisted through a number of workspace configurations (most including a second monitor) until I broke the Data Merge panel off from the others, and cycled through the panel size presets (the up/down chevrons to the left of the panel title) - only once returned to 'standard' size did…1 vote
