Error when exporting to Rich Text Format (*.rtf)
Adobe InDesign 17.0.1 x64
When exporting a Story's text to Rich Text Format (*.rtf), if there are Endnotes in this Story, the notes will not be exported.
To export notes you need to convert Endnotes to Footnotes, however there is also an error when converting Endnotes to Footnotes.
When converting Endnotes to Footnotes all text attributes (bold, italic, etc) that exist in the notes will be lost.
If the attribute is placed in the note via a character style, for example a character style that only puts italics, the italic will be preserved but as text exported to .rtf will…1 vote -
Bug in the "Table of contents" in the "Book" function
Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a manual in InDesign (version: 17.0.1) created in the "Book" function.
I created a first "Table of Contents" that I can edit without problem.
For the purpose of the book, I have to create a second "Table of Contents".
But as soon as I want to edit this second Table of Contents, the InDesign application quits on its own.
I work on Mac. First, I "saved as" and, secondly, I did the same thing, after resetting the InDesign preferences.
I still cannot create 2 "Tables of contents" in the "Book" function.
I would…1 vote -
recent files
Recently opened files are not shown on the home page after opening InDesign. The item in menu is also gone, so I cannot access them from the menu anymore. I tried to change the settings in Preferences > File handling, but the option to changed the number of files I would like to see in recent files is greyed out, so I can't change it.

Cannot create the link resource from the given URI
On a brand new Mac running OS 12.0.1 (Monterey). Restored from a Time Machine backup and didn't have this issue before. I use Bridge to select and insert images into InDesign picture boxes by selecting the image, right-clicking and selecting "Place" then "In InDesign" and the image has always been properly placed. However, since upgrading to the new OS, when I select and try to place, I get this error:
"Cannot create the link resource from the given URI." The Mac switches to InDesign, but no image is placed. Workarounds are very cumbersome as I'm often working with lots of…1 vote -
Hyperlink panel "go to destination" not linking to html with # to a specific id="anchor-1"
ID version 17.0
Hyperlink is to a url containing a # to anchor-1 in an html document. (Fig. 1)
When clicking the go to destination it should open to that particular id location in the html.
In the browser the # becomes %23 and the html document does not open, in fact it opens a pdf with a similar url. (Fig. 3)
Fortunately when creating a pdf the link does work correctly in the browser.
In v 14.0.1 it would open to the correct place in the html.

De-Stick Alt Key After Zoom
When I press and hold the ALT key (Windows) to zoom with the mouse wheel, it doesn't release the way a sticky key should - once finished with mouse wheel zooming, I have to tap the Alt key a -second- time to release it. Not doing this results in the menu bar becoming active. Example: Press and hold Alt and zoom with the wheel. Finish zooming and release the sticky alt key. Now Tap the letter W to enter Preview mode ... but instead of Preview Mode, InDesign will drop down the --W--indow Menu, tapping W again then drops down…

100% scaling is anything but
I have a MacBook Pro 16" (Intel) with an external Samsung 5k monitor.
Starting recently, when I select View –> Actual size I get a tiny document not by any means represented @ 100%. See screenshot.
Formerly, the command has rendered an almost 1:1 representation, which is what could be expected (not least since the command is called "actual size" and that the resulting window header says "100%").
The issue is described here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/recent-changes-to-gui-scaling/m-p/12578562.

Data marge help page QR code section needs visual help
I'm not doing QR codes daily, only on some jobs and some trainings. SO I often refer to the right help page.
Where the image field section is precise, and adds visuals of the table itself :
"Add image fields in the data source file
(…)
At the beginning of the data field name, type an “at” symbol (@) to insert text or paths that refer to image files.
The @ symbol is required only in the first line; subsequent lines should include the image paths. Paths, which are case-sensitive, must follow the naming conventions of the operating system in…2 votes -

spelling
Hi, I just want you to reach out for me to the Developer team and Interface Design team of InDesign. Please tell them, that the spelling function on InDesign should undergo major improvements. It literally sucks. I've been using InDesign since 2007, and the web application, basically any, like Google, deepL, Grammarl, I think even OpenOffice... are much better. So in this matter, InDesign was never the first choice, more like the last.

BUG: PDF Page Information does not display non-Arabic folios
The 'Page Information' on exported PDFs does not display non-Arabic folios.
See attached screenshot for example. Roman numerals are used for page numbering. The page name ('folio') is shown correctly in Acrobat as 'ii', but the Page Information on the PDF incorrectly shows the Arabic numeral '2'. This happens regardless of the PDF export settings.
If the same document is printed to a PostScript file and Distilled, the Page Information correctly displays the roman numerals.
