Character Style "Include Classes in HTML" checkbox removes whole tag
The "Include Classes in HTML" checkbox doesn't work for Character Styles. Whereas paragraph styles and object style export without the class, character styles actually export without the tag at all—losing any formatting for that style. This is the case both in HTML and EPUB export.

Place Multipage PDF script not performing how it should
Hi,
I am experiencing trouble within my InDesign using the "PlaceMultipagePDF" java script under the scripts panel. My issue is that when I go to choose my file for my document and choose which page I want the PDF to start on (like page 5 out of 130) it no longer goes to the page I choose, but adds on top of the content on the last page (like page 105) and adds extra pages with the rest of the import of the pdf at the END of the document and not the one I chose.

Fast save is taking 37 seconds
I imported a Word file that has a lot of linked footnotes into InDesign 2018. Spread by spread, I touch each paragraph to fix overrides. There is no reflow of text when I do this step. Yet when I do a plain "save" before going to the next spread, InDesign is taking 37 seconds to save. 37 seconds of watching the rainbow spin. InDesign is acting like it is reflowing every page in the background as it quick saves. That should not be necessary. The last time I experienced this type of slowness was back in the PageMaker days. The…

Hyperlinks broken over two lines exports incorrectly to PDF
Using InDesign CC 13.0.1, I have some urls in a paragraph that are fairly long so have to break over two lines, e.g.
www.websiteaddress.com/subpage/
pagenameWhen I export to pdf, the link will just link to www.websiteaddress.com/subpage/ and the bit with "pagename" is ignored.
I found similar problems posted online from a few years back and the workaround was to set your hyperlinks using the hyperlinks palette, not just rely on the pdf to detect the links automatically. I've done this manually to my document, but the problem persists. I can get the full link to work behind the first…

Page Hyperlinks Defaulting to page 1 when Exporting to PDF
I have a multiple documents in a InDesign book. Each document has several page hyperlinks between all of the documents. I have exported this in the past and everything worked fine. Since updating to CC2018 the page hyperlinks no longer work. They all default to page 1.
I had to update some image links and make some text changes so the books and documents are all now in CC2018. I do not see a way to save the indb file as a idml so I think I am stuck on CC 2018.
I am exporting as a print pdf and…

InDesign performance issue: Slow interface
The new document window is painfully slow. The pallets such as the background task pallet take some visible time to initialise themselves. As a whole the UI is always lagging.
I'm on a new iMac Pro and this is completely unacceptable. It feels as though the interface is getting in the way instead of making work easier.

Stroke Alignment Changes Shape Size
InDesign 13.0.1
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a shape (Rectangle, Circle, Polygon)
2. Add stroke to shape
3. Change stroke alignmentExpected Result:
- Stroke changes alignment to what the user set (inside, outside, centered).Actual Result:
- Shape size (and bounding box) change, while stroke remains aligned inside the bounding box.3 votesThe stroke is always shown inside the bounding box for all three types of stroke alignments. But if you check the size of the object, it will be different for different stroke alignments.
For example, if you have a square of 100 pt x 100 pt with a 20 pt stroke weight aligned to Center, its W & H = 120 pt. Similarly for the same square, if the stroke is aligned to Inside, its W & H = 100 pt while for stroke aligned to Outside, its W & H = 140 pt.This is how it has been designed.

page not displayed
I am editing a long document (over 300 pages). Several non-consecutive spreads are displaying blank. When I change screen mode from normal to preview, it displays the content correctly. The same happens if I change Display Performance prom Typical to either Fast display or High Quality Display.
Also selecting all the text (ctrl+A) takes more than 5 seconds. The same operation in MS Word is instant.3 votes -

hatched stroke styles
Hatched stroke styles aren't distributed evenly around ellipses and circles. The last segment appears twice. Works fine with dotted line, though.

Pop ups fail
Hi, I have Id cc 13.0.1 by Adobe Creative Cloud. When I double clic on an indd file all pop up menus from differents windows don't work, I can choose (e.g. vertical alignment from framework option or multiply from effects) but the original option remains. If I open the app first and the file later it works perfectly.
Hope this helps. Bye!1 vote -

Hyperlinks between documents in a book file don't work
I am producing an interactive pdf with hyperlinks to move between pages within the pdf.
I am doing this using a book file containing 22 indesign documents however some of the links do not work.
All of the hyperlinks within each document work fine but any that link between the documents just send you to the first page in the book and not to the specified page.
I am using InDesign CC 13.0.1 on Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.3
I have produced interactive pdfs in this way before without any issues so this has become broken in one of the…
