1. colors desaturating and layer effect discrepancy

   InDesign version 18.4

   Make indesign file with layer effects (multiply, overlay, etc.) in CMYK. Click Share > Send for Review. Result in the browser is desaturated and layer effect is not working as displayed in working file.

   The file that is previewed in Share for Review site is both desaturated and displaying the layer effects differently than my working file. I even exported my working file and it exported as expected. My document is in CMYK as it is a print piece. I have not had trouble with the preview before. It has always displayed accurately in past print pieces.

2. PDF export wrong PDF version

   We are using InDesign server 18 to export InDesign files to PDF. The last months (since november, when we updated from 17 to 18) we are noticing that we have problems with disappearing transparancy.

   After a lot of research we found out that although the joboptions have the settings to export version 1.3, the server exports to version to a PDF 1.4. The PDF standard that is used is PDF X-1a:2003. This seems why transparancy is disappearing. I cannot reproduce this manually with the local version of InDesign I think because there is no possibility to use PDF-x1a:2003 and version 1.4 together in the local version of InDesign.

   Because we have to deliver to printing systems we need to deliver as PDF 1.3 because 1.4 most often can't be handled.

   We already reinstalled our InDesign server but the problems still appears. Now desperate what to do because it causes lots of mistakes.

   Attached you'll find a result PDF from the InDesign server. I cannot upload the joboptions and indesign file but I do have those as an example.

   I hope you have a solution soon.

3. Automatic paragraph numbering resulting in different numbers in InDesign and InCopy

   I have a document with one assignment containing multiple linked textboxes. On one page I have two individual textboxes above each other. Both boxes start with a headline styled with the same paragraph style that has numbering turned on with the mode Continue from Previous …, both paragraphs are in the default list and both textboxes are linked to the same assignment.

   In InDesign everything is displayed as you would expect, the first textbox starts with I and the second with II. In InCopy, it is reversed even though the content is up-to-date, not checked in, etc.

4. [Scripting] Document.findObject() incorrectly targets activeDocument

   System: Indesign 18.4, MacOS 13.4.1

   To reproduce:
   1. Open two documents, each with a filled frame 100% tint.
   2. Run attached script "findObject bug.js"
   3. Note the console output.
   4. Refer to this forum post for notes and commentary.

   Expected result:
   doc.findObject() will return found items from both open documents.

   Actual result:
   doc.findObject() returns only items from active document.

   Note that using app.findObject() is not a viable workaround in some cases, such as the issue in this post.

6. Missing glyphs in a Right-to-Left Paragraph direction

   1. InDesign Middle Eastern Version 18.4.0.56

   2. Steps to reproduce the issues:
      a. In Preferences>Composition>Highlight, turn on Highlight for missing glyphs.
      b. Type in a text box open and closing parenthesis.
      c. Toggle between Right-to-Left and Left-to-Right Paragraph direction.

   3. Expected result: Missing glyphs should not be affected by paragraph direction.

   4. Actual result: When the direction becomes Right-to-Left the parenthesis are highlights as missing glyphs.

   Additional Information:
   If you type one Hebrew letter before and after the parenthesis, the parenthesis will be highlighted with missing glyphs also on Left to Right Paragraph direction.

   I tried with various fonts, all behave the same. Today was the first time I noticed it. It happened with a document that I edit all the time (and also a new one I created to test it) when I selected a different paragraph style. I then got a message that there are missing glyphs. I turned on the highlight option and suddenly I notices that all my parenthesis are highlighted in yellow for missing glyphs. I believe it is a bug of the latest version.

7. InDesign hangs for minutes when I/O for Document fonts is slow

   Using version 18.2.1 and opening a document that has an associated "Document fonts" folder alongside, the app performs a lot of I/O on the main thread. If the fonts are on slower storage, the app will open the document, but the window is completely frozen, since all those I/O calls are performed on the main thread.

   Note the attached traces: some calls are even performed twice for the same file. Can the CT calls be moved off the main thread?

9. Nach jedem update gehen Verknüpfungen verloren

   Es ist ein Graus! Seit ewigen Zeiten gehen nach jedem Update (aktuell 18.4) in jedem Dokument jegliche Verknüpfungen verloren. Gerade bei umfangreichen Dokumenten, die Verknüpfungen aus vielen verschiedenen Ordnern enthalten, ist das schier untragbar! Dieser Arbeitsaufwand ist nicht nur zeitintensive, sondern auch nervenaufreibend, und müsste in meinen Augen auch programmiertechnisch behoben werden.

14. Align panel issues

    I'm using v 18.3 on mac.

    My align panel isn't completely viewable and looks different that it ever has before. The normal options are gone. Also, in the top toolbar, the align tools only show up when I try to align objects. The tools don't appear when I attempt to align text boxes.

    I've attached a screenshot showing how the toolbar has always looked when I've selected assets to align, one showing how those options are gone unless I'm aligning objects, and a final one of the align panel. This has been very frustrating.

15. Hebrew drops out

    Hebrew text in the middle of a sentence is dropping out when exported to PDF. There have been several occurrences in this project, but I've never seen this before. In the example PDF, I have a Hebrew word followed by a makeshift ellipsis [nonbreaking space + . + 1/6 em space + . + 1/6 em space + . + space] followed by two more Hebrew words. A GREP style changes the Hebrew words from the base font (Arno) to Taamey David CLM. As is, the first Hebrew word drops out.

    If I move the first Hebrew word back to the end of the previous line, it exports correctly. If I change the font of the spaces and periods between the Hebrew words, it exports correctly.

    Changing the font for the Hebrew to Times New Roman does not correct the drop out. Removing the GREP and manually styling the Hebrew also does not correct the drop out.

    I've attached two PDFs. One shows a hole in the text where the Hebrew should be. The second—in which I've changed the font of the spaces and periods between the Hebrew words, shows the complete—correct export.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    1. Version 18.4
    2. Key mixed-language sentence of English and Hebrew with a non-Hebrew string interrupting the Hebrew. (It may be a requirement that the Hebrew begins the second or later line in the paragraph; that seems to be part of the pattern, but I can't confirm that.) Export to PDF.
    3. All Hebrew and English should export in full.
    4. Part of Hebrew is missing.

16. Text rendering bug during regular works and also in the presentation mode

    Hello, I am facing a strange text rendering bug in the InDesign v18.4 on my Mac Pro 7,1 during regular work on the InDesign document (it doesn't matter which one), mainly while using magnifying glass tool (zoom in / zoom out) and during the presentation mode (see video and screenshots).

17. Cross References between files in book dependent on position in cross reference list

    I have a Glossary book with 27 files (one for each letter of the alphabet plus one for numbered items). Each page of the book uses a parent page (*) located in file A which contains a bar with cross refs for each of the files so users can easily navigate. I set the cross refs in the bar to each of my files in the A file, then synchronize the parent pages to update the remaining 26 files.

    When I go to B file, my cross ref palette shows that my A cross ref needs to be updated, and 3 other cross refs have lost their way. When I select Update All Cross References, the A cross ref that said it needed to be updated is now showing the B cross reference, and the other 3 now have red flags.

    This happens in all 26 of the remaining files. To fix, I've had to manually go into the 4 references in all 26 files and relink them to the correct file. While doing so, I noticed that in the cross ref document list, the current file is always in position 1 in the list, and this seems to correspond to what's happening: the A cross ref is always changing to the current file's cross ref when I update, indicating that the cross refs seem to be more dependent on the position the file appears in within the cross ref document list rather than just the name of the file. See screenshots.

    This needs to be fixed very soon as every time one of my files gets updated, I need to reexport the book as a PDF, and manually update the cross refs.

    I don't know why K, R, and Y are also breaking every time in every file, but that is also very frustrating. I don't know if those 3 break because of their position in the cross ref doc list also, but if the top file is relying on position instead of file name, the others may not be sticking to the correct file name either.

    Please fix soon as this feature would be so powerful if it were working as expected.

    You will find InDesign and PC specs in the screenshots.

    Thank you.

19. Files on home screen after update to 18.4 have wrong modification date

    I updated InD to 18.4 yesterday and today noticed that all the files on the home screen display the same modification date (on the screenshot there is only one with different but this is because I opened it for test purposes). Some of the files on my home screen has been not opened for a few weeks--I was working only a few files recently. Some files are on the network drive, some are saved locally to Creative Cloud folder--there's not much in common.

20. Optimize Indesign for Ultra Chipset

    Please optimize Adobe Indesign / Acrobat for the Apple M1 / M2 Ultra Chipset. We work with huge files with several big images, but when we check the activity of the unit, it only uses only half of the cores and the machine is far away from the limit. But still just export a pdf or reload some images take super long time.
