Can't export pdf from InDesign then InDesign closes
I can't export a pdf from InDesign, then InDesign itself closes (no crash report, even though I changed the setting so I can see one). This issue has only started today (18 December); the last time I exported a pdf was 4 days ago and it was fine. I'm using Windows Pro 10, have updated InDesign to the latest version, restarted the computer and tried various settings. Please help! I have a client waiting for the document and I can't deliver it. With thanks.

Page tool will not select a single page on a parent spread when Properties panel is open
Create a Document with Spread and go to parent pages.
Open the Properties Panel, select the Page tool and try to select a single page.
Result: All pages are selected.
Override: Close the Properties panel to be able to select a single page
A similar post was reported in User Voice in 2021 it was not investigated and never got fixed.

Increasing Futura text size beyond 18pts causes bulleted list to misalign
Whenever I create a bulleted list in inDesign and increase the size beyond 18pts when specifically using Futura PT, the list misaligns. It doesn't do this with any other typeface.

Properties panel change - using tab for editing page size
Currently, in the Properties Panel, if you change the Width of a document and press Tab it heads to the page count (Pages) input box. It would be very helpful if it tabbed into the height box directly after typing into the Width box.
I'm consistently adding a large number of pages to the document instead of editing the Height directly after the Width when using Tab - which is not logical.

"Visual Cursor Movement" not working in Arabic in ID 19/19.01
On previous versions of ID with Arabic support, I could press left arrow to move cursor left, right arrow to move right. In versions 19 and 19.01, the cursor goes to the beginning or next line of Arabic text. So I have to select 'Logical Cursor Movement' under settings but now cursor move the opposite way: left arrow moves cursor right.

Eyedropper tool doesn't work when InDesign is on 2nd monitor
I'm using a 2nd monitor attached to my laptop. When InDesign is on the 2nd monitor, the eyedropper tool cannot select any colors, but if all I do is move InDesign to my laptop's screen (the main screen), then the eyedropper works again. Version 19.0.1 on Windows 11.

Dragging the cursor and highlighting text not working
Hello. I just updated my iMac to Sonoma (14.1.2), and now InDesign (19.0.1) has some new performance bugs.
When using the "Type tool" and dragging the cursor over the text I want to select, the text flashes, and the page briefly goes completely white. When I stop dragging, the text appears normal, but because the page is a whiteout while dragging the cursor over the text, I have no idea what text I'm selecting or where my cursor is going.
A similar thing happens when I want to select a few objects using the "Selection tool" to move or copy…

Share for Review: there was an error updating the artifact. NOT updating!
Adobe InDesign CC 2024
I am working a magazine. The size is pretty large, lots of pictures. I was able to create the Share for Review link, and share it. But I am unable to update. Although, I copy the link, open the address in Google Chrome and my edits show. When I mark a pin resolved, it does not show in my indesign file.

Indesing 2024: Opentype Superscript not working for Endnote Markers
Indesign 2024:
Opentype Superscripts don’t apply to endnote marker via character styleWhen working with end- or footnotes, instead of using the default settings, I usually create specific character styles for the markers in the text.
In these settings, I use the typeface’s native opentype settings to define a superscript number.In the latest version 19.0.1, I can define all these features in a character style and it works when applying to a number, but the character style can’t be applied to an endnote marker (it however works with a footnote marker).
This is a very annoying bug. I can't…

Share for review comments moved after file update
Comments are no longer in the correct position after update to INDD file.... I entered a few line returns and replaced a space with a non-breaking space after a few words, going manually through the search and replace. Going backwards with the edits doesn't help.

Incorrect reading order for anchored objects
InDesign is placing text and objects in the incorrect reading order when exporting to accessible PDF when an anchored object is anywhere but at the bottom of the page. Instead of placing the anchored object/group of objects in the correct order, it is placing them at the end of the reading order. An example would be an anchored group of a placed Illustrator graph and it's title text box.

Reading order of footnotes is incorrect for multi-column layouts
InDesign is not placing footnotes correctly in the reading order when generating accessible PDFs for layouts with more than one column. Instead of placing the footnotes at the bottom of the page's reading order, InDesign is placing them at the end of the first column, interrupting the reading order.
Also, after correcting the reading order by placing the footnote(s) at end, Acrobat reports a 'Tagged Annotations - Failed' error for the footnote or the first footnote in a block of footnotes when it is a hyperlink.
