1. Why does ID now need new filetype with every yearly release?

   I don't remember ID needing a new filetype with every release in the past. A (perhaps cynical) part of me says new filetypes are designed to incentivize users to upgrade. This drive for new filetypes every year seems especially capricious when fundamental new ID features are few and far between over the past 5+ years. (Ex: one of the top billed features last year was renaming Master pages to Parent pages...)

   New filetypes with every release is a source of friction to my team, especially when several users work on a project and one or more suddenly find they can no longer open the .indd project. I'm sure there are reasons for new filetypes every now and then, I just wonder if they're needed every year.

2. Placed illustrator files keep showing as modified

   When I place illustrator files in Indesign they show as modified even when closed from illustrator. I update and within a minute it shows as modified again. Very annoying. This is a new behavior on M1 mac studios, Monterey, working from a Mac file server which worked as expected previously with Intel imacs. Please fix ASAP. Thanks

3. Endnotes in ePub use identical id's where an id should be Unique

   When InDesign 18.0 and earlier versions make a reflowable ePub, the endnotes cause the file to be rejected when checked by https://www.ebookit.com/tools/bp/Bo/eBookIt/epub-validator. The reason: each endnote reference is embedded in a span with an id twice, and the name or identifier of that id is the same. In HTML (which is the construct of an ePub) each id should be unique. You cannot have a HTML file with two elements with the same id-name. The next line can be found at the endnote reference, but a similar thing coccurs on the backlink, back from the endnote text to the reference.

   <span id="endnote-002-backlink"><a href="Naamloos-1.xhtml#endnote-002"><span id="endnote-002-backlink">2</span></a></span>

   So in order to end up with an ePub that gets approved, I need to remove or rename one of the spans. This is something that needs to be fixed. I can't imagine why this error hasn't been mentioned earlier. The links back and forth do work, but this HTML/ePub is really not what it is supposed to be. For each endnote I have to make two corrections.

4. .idlk files not recognized/ignored when .indd files are in a Dropbox directory

   InDesign 2023 v18.00
   .idlk files are not recognized when working from a shared Dropbox folder. This issue appears to be very extensive and well documented. While I understand the many different use cases (synced/not synced, not connected to the internet, etc..) It would just make sense for InDesign to check for .idlk files within Dropbox directories and let Dropbox/Users figure out the potenetial for syncing errors and find a solution when those issues arise.

   This causes very frustrating issues for collaborative teams.

6. Capitalisation of letters b and i triggering the command prompt to bold and italicise copy

   Issue being experienced on Adobe InDesign 2023 version 17.4 (and previous version), using MacOS Monterey v12.6.

   When using shift + b or shift + i commands in indesign to create capital B or capital I, the command is instead acting as I would expect if I were to key in CMD + B or CMD + I in Microsoft or code - it is changing the font to 'Semibold' (shift + B) and 'Book italic' (shift + I) and not capitalising the letter.

   The issue can be replicated reliably across all fonts loaded.

   Please can this be investigated?

8. InDesign 18.0 (2023): still having issue where certain weights of fonts won't load/work (other weights/styles in the family do work).

   The only way I've been able to solve this is to revert to version 17.1 (had same issue with 17.2).

10. InDesign and PDF comments: extremely slow

    1. Version of Adobe InDesign V 18.0
    2. Importing the PDF comments to indesign, some tags when selected, makes the program extremely slow, taking several minutes to release the indesign again.
    3. The expected result would be that it was a matter of seconds and not minutes.
    4. The basic ones work very well, but markings like geometric figures and annotations make the indesign very slow.
    5. And here's a link to a video to see how you need to switch from one appointment to another: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jzxsh7t9ci0a8y1/teste.mp4?dl=0

11. Share for Review - Interactive PDF 'Jump to Page' feature not working

    Hey,

    I have a contents page in my Interactive PDF, that when you click an item on it, it jumps to the corresponding page in the PDF. However, on the Share to Review site, it jumps to the wrong page - always to the page after the one that it should jump to. When I export the PDF normally, it functions as expected, it is only on the Share to Review site that it doesn't work.

    Was wondering if a fix could be found for this, as we are having to explain this to clients every time we send a PDF out for review!

    Many thanks,
    Megan

12. GREP Tab Issue

    I created a GREP style to make Title Caps part of the style and I needed it to do this after a tab. That wouldn't work, but I got it work backwards.

    An unexpected side effect is that when you copy and paste from the PDF I created, it makes every letter next to "T" also capitalized. It's treating the shortcode for tab "\t" like it's trying to hone in on "T" and also like tab. It looks fine until you copy and paste.

13. Page number truncated exporting to PDF (when using HarfBuzz and World-Ready Composer)

    Summary: When using HarfBuzz and the World Ready Composer, automatic fields such as the current page number are truncated to their first character when exporting to PDF.

    Steps to reproduce the problem:
    1. Enable HarfBuzz rendering mode. (Script: app.textPreferences.shapeIndicAndLatinWithHarbuzz = true;)
    2. Create a new document.
    3. Add a text frame.
    4. In the text frame, insert a marker for the current page number. (Type > Insert Special character > Markers > Current page number.)
    5. Set the paragraph justification to use Adobe World Ready Composer.
    6. Change the page numbering in some way so that the page number will have more than one character. e.g. Layout > Numbering & Section Options > Start at page 8, using roman numerals.
    7. Create a few additional pages, likewise each displaying the page number. (e.g. viii, ix, x, xi...)
    8. Export to PDF.

    Desired behavior: Page numbers appear as in InDesign. e.g. vii, ix, x, xi.

    Actual behavior: Only the first character of each page number appears. e.g. v, i, x, x

    Versions of InDesign tested: This happens in 17.4. It does not happen in 16.4.3.

15. Output settings don't appear to be saved in Adobe PDF presets anymore in Indesign 17.4

    I rely on Adobe PDF Presets in Indesign. In version 17.4, it appears that output settings saved in custom presets are not observed anymore. I had a preset for low res pdfs with colour settings in output set to RGB values for online viewing. Worked great for years. Now I have to go in and turn off "all spots to Process" all the time.

16. [ID-4236204]Using “Paragraph Borders and Shading” on frame grid, it is incorrect to base them on grid attributes possessed by the frame grid

    InDesign Version CC2018 or newer

    1. “Paragraph Borders and Shading” are usually generated based on the outline of the glyphs in the paragraph to which they are applied.
       This is true even if they are grid-aligned on a text frame (Figure 1-a, right).
       However, when the same settings are made on a frame grid, for some reason, they are generated based on the grid attributes of the frame grid, not the glyph outlines.
       This always occurs based on the grid attribute of the frame grid, regardless of whether the text in the frame grid is grid-aligned or not (Figure 1-a left).
       The “Paragraph Borders and Shading” setting in Figure 1-a is the same for both (Figure 1-b).
       In Japanese typesetting, such operation is rarely used.
       In particular, it is never done when paragraphs that are not grid-aligned are mixed within a frame grid.
       For this reason, “Paragraph Borders and Shading”cannot be used when using a frame grid.

    2. Then, it is not so if “Paragraph Borders and Shading” can be somehow operated as long as they are grid-aligned in the frame grid.
       In Figure 2-a, it can be seen that the "Paragraph Border" that occurs in the right and left paragraphs is different.
       Both the right and the left have the same settings (Figure 2-b).
       The only difference is whether it is at the top of the paragraph or in the middle.
       This phenomenon occurs when the “Gyodori”setting is used.

    From the above two points, I believe that the developer does not understand how the “Paragraph Borders and Shading” should occur on the frame grid at all.
    “Paragraph Borders and Shading” should occur on the frame grid, just as it does on a text frame, based on glyph outlines, and should not be affected by grid attributes.

    「段落の囲み罫と背景色」をフレームグリッド上で使用するとき、フレームグリッドの持つグリッド属性を基準にするのは間違っている

    1.　「段落の囲み罫と背景色」は、通常は適用した段落のグリフの外形を基準として発生する。
    これは、テキストフレームでグリッド揃えをしていても同様である（図1-a右）。
    しかし、フレームグリッド上で同じ設定をすると、なぜかグリフの外形ではなく、フレームグリッドの持つグリッド属性を基準として発生してしまう。
    これはフレームグリッド内のテキストが、グリッド揃えをしていてもしていなくても、必ずフレームグリッドのグリッド属性を基準に発生してしまう（図1-a左）。
    図1-aで設定している「段落の囲み罫と背景色」の設定はどちらも同じである（図1-b）。
    日本語の組版上、そのような運用をすることはまずない。
    特に、フレームグリッド内に、グリッド揃えをしない段落を混在させるときには、絶対にしない。
    このため、フレームグリッドを使用している時には、事実上「段落の囲み罫と背景色」は使用できない。

    2.　ではフレームグリッド内でグリッド揃えをしていれば、「段落の囲み罫と背景色」は何とか運用できるのかというと、そうではない。
    図2-aでは、右と左の段落で、発生している「段落の囲み罫」が異なることが見て取れるだろう。
    右も左も同じ設定である（図2-b）。
    違うのは、段落の最上部にあるか、半ばにあるかだけである。
    この現象は、「段落の行取り」設定をしているときに発生する。

    上記の2つの点から、開発者はフレームグリッド上で「段落の囲み罫と背景色」がどのように発生するべきかを全く理解していないと考えられる。
    「段落の囲み罫と背景色」は、フレームグリッド上であっても、テキストフレーム上と同じように、グリフ外形を基準として発生するべきで、グリッド属性に左右されてはいけない。

    InDesign Version CC2018 or newer

    1. “Paragraph Borders and Shading” are usually generated based on the outline of the glyphs in the paragraph to which they are applied.
       This is true even if they are grid-aligned on a text frame (Figure 1-a, right).

       This always occurs based on the grid attribute of the frame grid, regardless of whether the text in the frame grid is grid-aligned or not (Figure 1-a left).… more

17. thumbnail publish online

    Publish online thumbnails extend off the right hand side of the browser window and cover the button for forward navigation through the thumbails. This means that the only way to navigate to the desired page is by clicking through page by page, or by resizing the browser window and clicking quickly before the thumbnails have time to respond and cover the button.

    I don't know if this is a bug since it's my first time using publish online but if it isn't, there certainly needs to be a better way to navigate through a long document, like a book. For instance scrolling quickly, page number field to jump to, or just thumbnails that don't cover their own navigation buttons.

    This issue exists in both Chrome and Safari and is not unique to my published document. I've tried with other publicly available documents and the viewer has the same issue.

    Hi there! I've worked in Indesign for the last 20 years and recently there is a bug in the spell-check feature. Every time I run that feature, it starts out in English and then abruptly changes to Catalan which finds every single word to be wrong. I've changed it in my preferences and even restarted my computer.

20. Items outside frame are exported in PDF as well

    I have seen that this issue exists for a long time. Upon exporting to PDF, if you have placed a PDF inside a frame, anything outside the frame will be exported too. I believe that anything outside a frame should not be exported as it makes no sense, especially because it is exported as invisible (but still selectable). Can you fix this please?

    In my example, only the image you can see was inside the frame, but other items from the original PDF were exported.

    I am using Windows 11, Indesign 17.4
