InDesign 2025 / v20.0: »background task« tries to activate font all the time
Working with the font Minion Pro InDesign 2025 wants to activate the font in the background (shown in the background tasks panel) although it IS activated.
Closing the document does not bother InDesign. It still wants to activate the font (see screenshot 2).
Quit & Restart helps, but it should work correctly without it.

Unable to move the ID app window to a different location on my screens.
After the 20.0 update, when I open the ID app, it snaps to my main laptop monitor and I am unable to move it to my secondary monitor. My work around is to stretch it to the secondary monitor and slowly ease it off of my laptop monitor. When I finally ********* my secondary monitor. I'm unable to move it out of the center of the monitor.

[ID-4257175]Pages Panel: Buttons are hidden behind page number text when window is thin
When the pages panel is as thin as possible, the buttons such as delete page are behind the text that says the number of pages. It is therefore not possible to click on the buttons. I always use this panel in a thin band, and it is now less practical.

If I go to the parent pages to adjust an existing master (I had portrait tabloid parent pages), and I adjust the second page to be a letter-sized page, even if I select landscape for the new page size it defaults to portrait.

2025 InDesign (v20.0) Frequent Crashing on MacOS 15.0.1 Sequoia
Ever since the 2025 version of InDesign released earlier this month, I have had constant crashing issues while working on multiple files. I have been using MacOS 15 Sequoia since it released in September. At first it seemed to crash at random every 5-30 minutes while going between open indd tabs. I think I can more consistently trigger it now by trying to open/navigate around a .indt file. I have a screen recording attached of me clicking around with a 2025 .indt file, a 2025 .indd file, and a 2024 .indd file. Within this minute long recording, InDesign crashes twice,…

[ID-4256670]InDesign crashes while navigating through Parent Pages in Pages Panel
InDesign 20.0
Click on the first parent page in the panel and use option + page down to navigate. When you reach a parent page that is not used in the document, you can go no further.
Click the last parent in the panel and use option + page up to navigate. Either the selection jumps to the first parent page in the panel or InDesign crashes.
1 voteThe fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2025(v20.0.1.032). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.
If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application click on the context menu on the top right, and click on Check for App Updates.

embeded Illustrator documents in InDesign looses page information, after being used in library
We have following situation:
InDesign library with an embeded Illustrator document. this document has pages (used for different icons). I have placed page 3 of the Illustrator file in as InDesign document. I place the element in an library in InDesign.
I place the same object from the library in the document. The Element looses the pageinformation. the preview is still correct, but when i export an PDF it collects the information from the illustrator file again and it has an other icon in its place…So it is a massive problem of missmanaging elements and creates Errors in production!…

Crop Marks not displaying correctly with indesign 2025
My bleed is set to 10mm on all sides, and I've clicked to offset the crop marks by 10mm also. In the exported PDF though, the bleed amount is included but the crop marks show to cut at the bleed line rather than the cut line if that makes sense! See screenshot. Please help - need to submit signage artwork today and would only take 2 secs to do if this would work as it always has done in the past!!!

Arrowheads can not scale
When you have a .5 line you are unable to scale the arrowhead.
I do a lot of call outs for instructional work and I would love to be able to make the arrowheads smaller.

Sur la version Mac 2025 (20,0) de indesign Je suis obligé pour voir les boites de sélection de faire une manœuvre pour les voir.
les boites sont affichées en arrière de la fenêtre principale. elles n'apparaissent devant que lorsque j'ai fait une manœuvre (voir toutes les fenêtres de l'écran). C'est gênant.

InDesign 2025 changes frame size while applying object style
If you apply an object style with only height set in size/position tab, and inset spacing, the width of the frame changes adding the inset spacing to the width. For example: 100mm width frame (no style applied) and an object style with height set to 25mm and 5mm of inset spacing in both sides (left/right). The frame with applied style will result in 110mm width.

the first letter of the heading does not appear in the result.
Adobe Indesign (19.0 : 20.0) 2024-2025 / Mac os Sequoia 15.0.1
When using a Text Variable (Running Header ‹Paragraph Style›) and applying it to fully diacritized Arabic text, the first letter of the heading does not appear in the result. This issue arises when exporting to PDF.
open indesign and Type the fully diacritized Arabic text, Assign paragraph sytle, go to Text variable - Define - New - Running Header «Paragraph Style» - Assign.
The text is expected to display correctly without errors; however, contrary to this, the first letter of the fully diacritized text does not appear. This issue…1 vote
