1. Find similar image

   On the latest update 18.4, the find similar image function is not working like before. I've even used an image from the Adobe stock library and it cannot find its own image. With the last version, this feature worked as expected.

   To reproduce this issue, place an Adobe stock image in InDesign, right-click on it and choose "find similar image".

2. Bulleted and numbered lists, "Restart Numbers at This Level After:" behavior is not consistent

   1. create a document with "Bulleted and numbered lists" and List Type "Numbers" 　* There are 3 types of headings and 3 levels.
   2. set the levels so that each heading is renumbered according to the higher level heading. 3.
   3. re-set the numbering style to "none" or remove "^#" from the "Number" to indicate numbering
   4. the numbers are no longer re-numbered.

   Workaround: set Mode to "Start At: 1" instead of "Continue from Previous Number

   I had quite a bit of trouble finding a workaround. Also, it is often the case that the higher levels do not want to display numbers, so the behavior should be consistent.

   箇条書き、「指定レベル以降で番号を振り直し」の動作が一貫していない
   1.　箇条書き、自動番号を設定したドキュメントを作成する
   　※見出しは3種類あり、レベルは3段階あるものとする
   2.　各々の見出しは、上位の見出しによって番号が振り直されるようにレベルを設定する
   3.　番号の種類を「なし」に設定し直すか、テキストから番号を表示するための「^#」を削除する
   4.　番号が降り直されなくなる

   回避方法：モードを「前の番号から継続」ではなく「開始番号：1」とする

   回避方法を見つけるまでかなり苦労した。また、上位レベルでは番号を表示したくない場合も往々にしてあるので、動作は一貫していることが望ましい。

3. InDesign 18.4 crashes/fails during PDF export for documents containing placed indd with HEIC images

   I've tried exporting every INDD separately with HEIC images in and it exports fine. The file that contains the INDD with HEIC images in always hangs and eventually crashes.

4. No warning about missing links when exporting to jpeg or png

   If I have a document with a missing link, I get a warning when exporting to PDF that there are missing links. If I am exporting a jpeg or a png of the same document, I don't get any warnings at all about missing links and simply get pixelated graphics in the output.

   Exporting to a bitmap image should have the same warnings about missing links that exporting to PDF does.

   1. InDesign 18.4 (Windows), but this has been the case for several versions now.
   2. Place a graphic, then move the linked file so that it shows up as missing. Export the page/selection as png/jpeg
   3. Before exporting, a warning should pop up to say that my export contains missing links
   4. The graphic is exported without warnings, with the missing images showing up in the output as their low-res previews

5. Crashes on "Object Layer Options" for an AI file in a table

   I'm using v18.4 (x64) on Windows 11 Pro, v22H2.

   I have a two-layer vector graphic created in Illustrator (current version) placed in a table cell. If I select the graphic and then select "Object layer options," the correct dialog appears. But when I click on the visibility "eyeball" on either of the layers, InDesign immediately vanishes, having crashed.

   This is repeatable.

6. non-breaking space creating strange character

   Non-breaking spaces have suddenly started turning into strange horizontal apostrophes in a document - see attached image, the character between Ex and Libris. The only way to rectify has been to use a fixed width non-breaking space instead. Major headache!

7. eyedropper changing bevel/emboss object effects in InDesign 18.4

   1. Create new blank document
   2. Draw 2 shapes and assign different bevel/emboss to each.
   3. Use eyedropper (with all objects settings checked) to copy and paste style from one shape to another.

   I expect the other shape to take on the same bevel/emboss settings as the first

   But the other shape does not always take on the same bevel/emboss opacity settings. I find the higher opacity percentage shadow overrides the lower percentage, but not vice versa.

   I've not done extensive testing but prior to ID18.4 the eyedropper was consistent in copying styles from one object to another, now it isn't

8. Certain placed PDFs look fine but become strange when part of InDesign export to PDF

   InDesign version 18.3. The issue is explained thoroughly in this forum thread, with lots of example exports: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/pdf-export-messes-up-placed-pdf-and-is-affected-by-mark-bleed-settings/m-p/13957529

   Summary: If you place either of the attached PDFs (which were made in Word for Mac), and then try to make a PDF from InDesign, the black rectangle that is in the background of the content will change size unexpectedly. It will always look fine in InDesign but mess up when exported. And the degree to which it changes will vary depending on various factors like marks and bleed, which should have nothing to do with the placed PDF.

9. Crop tool namings for german version are irritating

   A view months ago I was posting this issue to the community board already. :-) Thanks to Mr. Tyson for directing me to this page here:

   Dear InDesign team,

   please take a look on https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/placing-graphics.html
   The assistance describes the differences between the three boxes named "crop", "trim" and "bleed".

   Well, in English there is no mistake if I'm going to import a PDF into my InDesign document, e.g. I'd like to display the final cutted format, than I choose for "Trim" or if I need to prepare a page for professional print shops than choosing "Bleed".

   But in the german edition the namings seem to be inconsequent. In comparison with the Acrobat Crop Tools and the InDesign Import Options
   "T r i m" should be the counterpart to "E n d f o r m a t" or "Z u s c h n i t t"
   while "A n s c h n i t t" seems to be the correct interpretation of "B l e e d".
   Accordingly, "C r o p" would be referred to the german word "B e s c h n i t t ".

   The best woud be, if you replace the german wording of the InDesign "import options" as seen on the following screenshot.

   And for example: an imported PDF with varius import options.

   Thanks for listening.
   Frank

11. Gray boxes behind photos in Share for Review

    I have been using the new Share for Review for the last little while and am enjoying receiving feedback directly on my documents for import into InDesign. However, I recently went to a published file and noticed that all of the images in my design now have a light gray square behind them. Additionally, the colours and blending on some of the images are all off or look odd. The gray boxes appear on all of my previously uploaded documents, and I've checked from multiple computers and they all appear to show these boxes.

    Please refer to this thread for previous discussion: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/share-for-review-gray-boxes-behind-all-images/m-p/13951228#M534701

    1. Version 18.4
    2. Publishing any InDesign file to 'Share for Review'
    3. Would expect it to appear on the web as it appears in my InDesign program
    4. Gray boxes appearing behind all photos (especially circular photos) and gradients all look off.
    5. Attached.

12. ID window stutters when minimizing on MacBook Air M2 running StageManager

    I know you're working on making ID run natively on the M2 chip. One glitch...when minimizing the app on my new MacBook Air M2 /Ventura, the ID window stutters as it shrinks to the desktop -- instead of smoothly moving as other apps. This happens with all my Adobe apps, but it's most noticeable with InDesign. It's a minor glitch but visually annoying.

13. Importing PDF Comments: inclusion of Sticky Notes slows InDesign down to a crawl.

    When importing PDF Comments, it is mostly a breeze until the editor/author applies a 'Sticky Note'.

    Moving through a document where 'Sticky Notes' have been added, the page, and surrounding pages, slows InDesign to a crawl and can take a few minutes to apply one change.

    While my workaround is to run through all the 'Sticky Notes' in the PDF file first and apply those changes independently before deleting them, I can then import the PDF Comments in the usual way to speed up the remaining part of the process without being hindered.

    I have a document with a text frame which is vertically justified and contains some anchored objects. Editing text in this text frame works but it is very slow in 18.4
    In version 18.3 it runs quicker.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. 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.
