Shadow Style
Would it be possible to create a shadow style? It would be really helpful to be able to create the shadow you need, and then to be able to quickly apply it across a document(s).

When a comment is made in a PDF using the Insert Text tool, that comment doesn't map to ID 18.5 and previous versions.
For the past month or so the insert text comments made in a PDF do not map to the InDesign doc. I'm getting comments from multiple users. All other mark-up is mapping as expected except insert text. I update ID every time a new version is released but this bug seems to be persistent.

Black Backgrounds When Copying PNG from Web to Indesign (Return of Bug)
This is a recurring bug that was solved in a few past updates, but, it's back in InDesign V. 18.5.
When you copy a transparent background PNG from Google Images (or any website) and paste it into InDesign, it will display a black box as the background.
If you paste the same image into Photoshop, copy that, paste it into InDesign, it will not show the black background.
This was working 100% flawlessly over the last year, but, is now broken in this new version on multiple Macs. Tried different browsers. Reset preferences, same issue.
This was a bug that…

export, printing
I am unable to export or print a document through InDesign 2023. I have no errors in the document, but whenever I try to export the document (which is 113 pages long and has quite a number of images throughout), it just says "Failed to Export PDF File", but gives no reason for why this happened. I do get a pop-up window before the one that says the document failed to export and the pop-up says that some links for either files or hyperlinks are not accessible. I have removed all hyperlinks and all the images are linked properly. Also,…

When adding v-Card information for generating a business card QR code - Incorrect Title for email
When adding v-Card information for generating a business card QR code the email line comes up as work instead of email when the QR code is scanned and a window opens up on a mobile device. The category above on the form in InDesign states that the word "email" should appear above the contacts email. This is a needed fix noticed.

Spotcolor channel does not export (not enough data)
Spotcolor channel does not export (not enough data for one image) from InDesign 2023 - from an older Version (2022) it exports correctly, the files that don't work any longer are also from 2020 and 2021 when everything was exportable flawlessly - we need the Spotcolor to be functional.
Spotcolor is an Extra-Spotcolor-Channel, correctly named in an TIFF in PS.

Display glitch when Placing multiple images
Adobe Indesign 2023 and prior.
When several large images are selected in the 'place' dialog box to place one after another, the first image often does not display the green guide arrows for matching existing object sizes. Subsequent images in that set do, but these often display the preview for the image just placed rather than the image currently loaded.

Be able to anchor already created text box
Use Case Scenario: Create text box, use text box. Realize it'd be nice to anchor already created text box to another text box/object/???.
Current workflow: copy text, delete text box, find anchor point, insert anchor point, adjust anchor point, create anchored text box, copy text box, further adjust text box.
Desired workflow: right click on text box/text -> select "anchor to [text/object/???]", anchor to [text/object/???], adjust anchor point settings. No need to redo entire content.Why can't this be done? It's always an option for non-text box content boxes/objects, correct? So why can't text box boxes also considered content boxes?…

Starting up in "tablet" mode
I´m beta-testing some Adobe apps both in Mac and PC. (I have also a professional CC-account for my professional user PC) and the present beta version of InDesign doesnt stort up correct in my PC, that is equipped with also "tablet"-mode. (It's Dell i7)
I have the tablet mode totally disabled but the app seems override this. Buttons on screen are all unfunctional but I can "select" areas drawing with finger on screen.
The app does not react upon ctrl-Q or other command so the only option is force quitting.

Alt + numeric keystrokes does not work
ASCII codes not working, that is keeping the LEFT ALT pressed, then typing ASCII codes on the nymeric typepad, finally releasing the LEFT ALT. For example Alt+0167 will give you the paragraph symbol.
Unfortunately, in the newest versions of In-Design, when the LEFT ALT is kept pressed, the program does not accept as input the whole string when Alt is released, but is considering each keystroke as a separate entry, even though Alt is still pressed, something that worked in Windows for 30 years.
So, since I had some shortcuts (eg. Alt+6 for a specific character style), when wanting to…

18.4 and 18.5 exported PDF corrupted
Hi guys,
Our books are printed in house with Xerox Nuvera 288 Presses. We recently faced this issue, and tho it should be addressed in 18.5 updated, we're still facing the same problem in 18.4 with 18.5 (Images attached below) where the whole book is printed out, but have left a single page blank.
In this example, this page 85 went blank every time we ran it through the press when exported with 18.4 and 18.5, but got no problem with 18.3. This error also happened to 9 out of 10 book titles (exported with 18.4 and 18.5) that we…
