1. Adobe Indesign CC 2018: Export to pdf does not maintain Indesign file layers structure

   Creating interactive pdf in InDesign may require controls to be placed in a strict vertical sequence.

   Exporting to interactive pdf from InDesign re-orders the layers and elements within those layers. This may break the functionality of the original structure as some buttons which control the appearance of others may no longer be accessible. The structure then has to be modified in Adobe Acrobat which is time consuming and awkward to do.

   InDesign CC 2018 on macOS Mojave public Beta,
   when holding down ⌘ key and choose Type-> fill w place holder text, there’s a pop up menu that you can choose which language you want to fill in, and it did fill with placeholder text, However it didn’t fill in text with that language and choosing a font that suits that language, or even ragged left if it’s Arabian language.

   Need More Info  ·  Abhinav Kaushik responded

   Thank you for reporting the issue.
   I need more inputs from you to get to the bottom of the issue.

   Please confirm if the issue happens only with Mojave. Was it working fine before upgrading to Mojave?

   Are CMD/opt keys working fine in other workflows?

   Regards,
   Abhinav kaushik

3. Data Merge Preview drops Paragraph Styles with Nested Styles

   Suppose you want to merge data, and format it with nested styles. For example, you want one word to be red, and the other blue. If the cell is empty, remove the line.

   This works as intended until you 'Preview' the document. When you view a record without data, then move to the next, the paragraph style is lost entirely!

   For example, I use this technique to merge many restaurant menus for many locations. A food item is regular up to a '$'. Then the price is italicized. Some locations don't offer this item. If I were to Preview one location's menu, then turn off Preview, and forget to reapply the style, then everyone's menu is effected.

   To illustrate, I've attached a super simple example. When you open the doc, the paragraph style is applied to the middle line. Turn on preview, and click [>] to the 3rd record. You see the paragraph style disappear all together.

4. Text Replacement

   When I have text selected, I click on the box with the Font name and type out the font that I want. Then click on the font weight preference, but it just reverts back to the original font, it does not actually apply the font that I am click on in the dropdown. The only way I can choose a new font is by using my arrow keys and then hitting enter for the selection. I have a stylus so I thought maybe it's just my pen not working, but this doesn't seem to be the case because it doesn't work with my track pad either.
   PLEASE FIX THIS, VERY ANNOYING! To be more specific I am replacing missing fonts in a document with a new font.

5. spinning ball every minute

   InDesign CC 13.1
   When using InDesign, doesn't matter which file, or file size, every minute on the minute I encounter a spinning ball for 10 seconds.

   I use InDesign for a majority of my work, so there is almost an hour of work time lost each day.

   Hello All,

   Thank you for your patience all this while.
   We had launched our investigation into the matter to get to the root cause of the problem. As the part of our investigation, we had reached out to many of you personally over email.
   We have concluded our investigation and have come up with few findings.

   1. For many of the users the issue got fixed after updating InDesign to a newer version.
   2. For some, the issue got resolved after disabling a third-party application such as Suitecase fusion etc.
   3. For few, the issue was intermittent and is no longer reproducible.
   4. For majority of the users, the underlying cause of the performance issue was identified to be related to span columns, cross-references, third party plugin etc.

   We have created separated threads for these issues and we are now working towards resolving them.

   However, over the time this thread has become too generic to serve its purpose effectively. As per your feedback and the outcome of our investigation we have created multiple threads to address each root cause separately and effectively.
   If you are facing any slowness in InDesign or seeing any other performance issue, we request you vote for the relevant thread or create a new thread specifying the action/workflow which is slowing you down.
   We seek your support in our continuous effort to improve InDesign.

6. Lock files not synced via google drive

   We have an issue where one user opens an indesign file and a lock file is created. When on a standard file server, a second user tries to open the file and is told its locked by user x and they cannot open the file. With google file stream, user 1 opens the file and a lock file is generated and synced, user 2 has that lock file synced locally so its visible, but they can still open the file and get no lock warnings. Has anyone else found this and found a solution

7. data merge to PDF: page numbers (generated with current page number marker) don't increase

   To recreate this bug:
   1) Make a new print document 8 pages long (doesn't matter if pages are facing or not) A4 or letter size (this doesn't matter either)
   2) Go to the master page and somewhere on the master page, add a new text frame and within that frame, add an auto page number.
   3) In a text editor, create the following file for test purposes and save it with the name "test.txt" - (cut and paste the next five lines of text):
   name
   Colin
   David
   Jose
   Max
   4) Return to InDesign, go to the data merge palette and select data source (the text file that was just made). Place a text placeholder on any page (this doesn't matter where)
   5) From the data merge palette, go to Export to PDF, all records, and to the desktop is fine. Any PDF setting will work, use [High Quality Print] for this demo.
   6) view the PDF that is generated.

   WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN:
   A 32pp file should be created with page numbers going from 1-8, then 1-8 again three more times.
   WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS:
   A 32pp file is created, but page numbers either stay on 1 (if facing pages was off) or go 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1..... (if facing pages was on)

   To recreate this bug:
   1) Make a new print document 8 pages long (doesn't matter if pages are facing or not) A4 or letter size (this doesn't matter either)
   2) Go to the master page and somewhere on the master page, add a new text frame and within that frame, add an auto page number.

12. Putting an InDesign extension into Panel mode from Modeless fails to display the extension

    Changing the <UI><Type> field in the manifest.xml from Modeless to Panel for an extension which has already been run as a Modeless type causes InDesign to crash, or fail to display the panel. This change was possible in previous versions of the application, and works correctly in Illustrator.
    Steps:
    1) Start with the UI Showcase sample from the Adobe CEP resources GitHub. https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/tree/master/UI_Showcase
    2) Install it
    3) Start the InDesign application
    4) Open the Modeless version of the UI Panel from the Extensions menu
    Result: this shows correctly
    5) Close the panel, shut down InDesign
    6) Change the UI/Type for the Modeless type to Panel in the manifest.xml
    7) Start InDesign
    8) Select the Modeless version of the UI Showcase from the extensions menu
    Result: Nothing happens, or InDesign crashes
    Expected: Should show the UI Showcase in a panel

13. InDesign Publish Online Not Clickable on Windows in Chrome or Firefox

    Working in: Adobe InDesign CC 2018

    We recently published a guide online using Adobe Publish online. The clickable elements (buttons, interactive elements) are not clickable on touchscreen PCs in Chrome or Firefox, but the touchscreen works (not as clean, but works). This issue is not present when the PC users are in safari or internet explorer. All content was created and published on a Mac, and no macs have had an issue.

    The content is private, but I can send the guide to anyone from Adobe on a person-person basis.

14. Indesign 13.1 x64 (PC), Cell styles, Ignore option not working

    I can't get the "Ignore" option to work when setting up cell styles, I've had it working on previous versions, but now it won't stay (it needs to show in the rule type and colour setting selector panel but when I select "Ignore" nothing shows in the panel - it needs to display the "Ignore" setting). An example of when you might use it is if you've set up a table with various cell styles, eg header row, thin underlines, thick underlines and a table end rule and then want to apply a tint panel to all, or some of one or more columns without changing any of the rules applied using other cell styles (Annual Reports are documents where you would like this to work)
    It's a very handy feature that doesn't seem to work any more.
    Thanks,
    Peter

16. applying colour to grayscale images against coloured background previews incorrectly

    When I place a grayscale jpg in a frame with a background colour of C100/Y85/M0/K38 and apply a colour of C0 / M84 / Y100 K13, it displays correctly, red image against blue background. When I export that to PDF, the PDF preview shows no red, and a black box with the grayscale image knocked out in blue. When I open that in Acrobat Pro, it again displays correctly.

18. Bold

    Upon defining a style with its only attributes set to “Bold”, the “Style Settings” box still reports its attributes as “[None]” (without stating that it’s actually “[None] + Bold]”). The “Basic Characters Format” still states it to be “Bold”.

    I encountered this as a nested-style which relies on a “Bold” style stopped setting its Bold where necessary. The document was a previous-version-created document, and I began a fresh document re-defining all styles. The unreported-Bold attribute behaviour is evident in the newly created v13.1 InDesign document.

    Version: InDesign CC 2018 v13.1 x64

19. publishing not working in chrome, FF

    I am using indesign 13.1. I have several published documents that are suddenly not working in FF and Chrome, but are working in Safari.

    For example, click on read now on this page:
    https://merce-cunningham-bm.now.sh/history-detail

    or this page:

    https://sfarts.org/monthly.cfm

    In Chrome -- nothing happens. But those pages work in Safari.

    Those two documents were created by different companies, so it is not an indesign intallation issue, as the support chat person insisted.

    These pages have been working well for a long time.

    I am the only one affected by this? Seems unlikely....

20. crash when deleting line

    InDesign crashes on selecting a specific line in TOC

    Hi! When trying to delete some lines in the TOC, some lines cause crashes. For one line it seems impossible to delete it. When selecting the line or the space the cursor freezes within seconds and a crash report appears.
    On reopening the file an error message appears, though the file can be opened.
    Attached are two screenshots and the file.
    Regards,
    Peter
