1. quote mark position in RTL paragraph when Arabic and English text mixed and line break

   InDesign 20.2 (ME)

   In a paragraph where there is text contained within opening and closing quote marks and that text has a mixture of Arabic and English words, if that text happens to be at the end of a line and automatically flows to the next line then the positions of the quote marks reverses and are incorrect. If I force a line beak then it fixes itself, but it leaves me with text in one line that is shorter than it should be.

   This problem also appeared a few versions back, can't recall exactly when, a year or more I think, but then seemed to be resolved in a later update.

   PDF attached to show the problem (InDesign file can't be attached for some reason?)

2. Serious Error when Importing Paragraph Styles

   InDesign 20.2 crashes with a "serious error" every single time I try to import paragraph styles from another document. I'm using macOS 14.6.1. No problems when using the previous version of InDesign. Boy, you guys really messed this one up.

3. Linhas

   Gostaria que o indesign pudesse numerar linhas/paragrafos através da janela de estilos assim como tem os marcadores, e podendo definir de quantas em quantas linhas ele vá numerar, Acho que não seria algo difícil de fazer.

4. Alt-text and field descriptions/tooltips do not export correctly

   When updating Alt-text on images or the form field descriptions in InDesign 2025 20.0.1 on Mac and exporting to PDF, the Alt-text/descriptions do not reflect the updated text. This requires manual updating of every single image or form field in the PDF or saving as IDML, opening in 2024 and exporting.

5. blank screen when switching displays

   When I have a file open in InDesign 2025 on my MacBook Pro (14-inch, Nov 2023, 15.3.1) and switch between using the built-in display and an external monitor, the document view becomes completely black/blank, though all toolbars remain visible and functional.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Open a file in InDesign on a MacBook Pro.
   2. Close the MacBook lid, connect to an external monitor, and wake the computer.
   3. The InDesign window stays open, toolbars are visible, but the artwork area is completely blank.
   4. Selecting all (Cmd + A) reveals bounding boxes, but no image or text is visible.

   This also happens in reverse:
   • If I’m working on an external monitor, then unplug it and open the MacBook to work, the same issue occurs.
   • My MacBook is always closed when connected to an external display, and I use an external keyboard and trackpad.

   Expected Result:
   • The document area should remain visible and fully functional when switching between the MacBook’s display and an external monitor without needing to restart InDesign.

   Actual Result:
   • The document area turns black/blank, preventing any interaction with the artwork.
   • Toolbars, menus, and selection boxes remain functional, but the contents of the document are completely invisible.

   Temporary Workaround:
   • Saving the file, quitting InDesign, and reopening fixes the issue temporarily.

   Additional Info:
   • OS, external display firmware, and InDesign are all up to date and have been happening for over a year.
   • Issue persists across different external monitors.
   • Unclear if this is an Adobe or macOS issue.

   There is a thread here with other people having the same exact issue:
   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-blank-window-when-switching-displays/td-p/14394779

6. links not clickable on publish online link

   When I publish my document online, Hyperlinks are not clickable. When the document is viewed as a PDF, links ARE clickable. All text is ungrouped and on the top layer. All hyperlinks are properly embedded (again, they work in the PDF and this is purely an issue with the Publish Online link). Running the latest Indesign 20.2 on Mac Sonoma 14.7

8. InDesign 20.2

   20.2 has broken my Ad Import plugin. The defaults that worked 2 weeks ago don't work.

   The label is not transparent. The box that the ad is in is transparent — it should be white. If I use the Object Style, the ad doesn't resize to fit content to the box.

10. IDML export breaks structure when there is a tagged single row table at the start of a story

    When exporting an InDesign document to IDML and re-opening it, a specific set of conditions causes the tag applied to a table to be incorrectly reordered in the XML structure, and an extraneous <Table> tag to be inserted.

    This issue occurs when the table is a single-row table and is the very first element in the story (no preceding text or content). This bug disrupts the intended tag hierarchy, breaking workflows that depend on accurate XML structure.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Create a new InDesign document.
    2. Create a text frame on the page.
    3. Within the text frame, insert a table.
    4. a. Ensure the table is the very first element in the story (before any other text or content).
    5. b. Set the table to have only one row.
    6. Apply a tag to the table (in my example CustomTable).
    7. Export to IDML
    8. Open the IDML
    9. Open the Structure Panel and examine the structure. You will observe the following:
    10. a. The "CustomTable" tag now appears before a <Table> tag representing the table. The expected order is the <CustomTable> tag encapsulating, the cells.
    11. b. The "CustomTable" tag is before the actual table in the story, without any content inside of it.

    Expected Result:
    The structure of the document should be maintained after exporting to IDML and re-opening.

    Actual Result:
    The custom tag appears before the table and a <Table> tag is added to the structure, disrupting the intended structure of the XML.

    Environment:
    InDesign 2024 (19.5)
    InDesign 2025 (20.1)
    Windows 11

11. Opening older INDB files breaks Automatic Page Numbering

    I often have to prepare materials for reprints, and our book files are set up as multiple chapter INDDs within an INDB.

    Starting with Version 20.0, opening an INDB from a previous version of InDesign maintains the correct pagination in the Book window, but opening the INDD files through the INDB shows the page numbers have reset their numbering to 1 with each chapter. Preflight does not flag this issue, and the numbers are not recalculated by default in preparation for exporting. Instead, Update All Numbers must be manually run on the book, after which the counts are again correct. This means also having to manually sit there and hit save on every indd as it updates as well - annoying as some of our books have over 60 chapters.

12. recent files

    InDesign v20.2 x64

    Recent files is not working properly. I work on files stored on a network server. Recent files, both on home screen and file dropdown only show files that are stored locally on my computer. Files that I have recently accessed from the network don't show up. They show up briefly, but I think get forgotten when I disconnect from the network and reconnect. This is one of the main way's I open files because the network paths are long, and is a major inconvenience!

    Thanks,
    Olena

13. Version 20.2: Swatch menu tint slider bar doesn't work — when you click it — it disappears.

    I just updated to InDesign 20.2.

    Two things happen:

    1. When I open the swatch menu and try to use the TINT slider bar the menu disappears. I can only change the percentage by typing it in. I can get it to work only when I pull the swatch menu out out of the menu side bar and it free floating.

    2. The same true for all the menu I items I have in my work space side bar. If I open "Paragraph" it closes every time I click in to text.

14. Accessible PDF exports paragraph lines in individual content containers

    Steps:
    1. Create a simple InDesign file, and type in a paragraph on several lines, apply any paragraph style
    2. Export to a tagged PDF and examine the <P> tag in the Tags pane

    Expected result: The entire paragraph is in one content container

    Actual result: Each line of text is in its own content container. The paragraph is really hard to read in the PDF when pressing Down Arrow with NVDA or JAWS. This causes each line to be read separately, e.g. with NVDA the default is to have "Use screen layout" as Off.

    In InDesign lines can be quite short because of the layout, making this a significant usability concern, because users can't read the text as expected with settings that work well in other PDFs or the web. They are forced to figure out alternate settings/navigation options just to read a paragraph.

    When I export a paragraph on multiple lines from Microsoft Word it is placed in a single content container in the <P> tag in PDF.

    I am using InDesign 20.2.

    Older version of this issue: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/33755254-accessible-pdf-exported-from-id-contains-spans-in

16. InDesign windows do not allow resizing from top to bottom

19. Urgent Bug Report – Inability to Set Save Location for AI-Generated Images

    Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

    I am writing to report a critical flaw in InDesign’s AI-generated text-to-image functionality that severely disrupts workflow, particularly in collaborative environments.

    Currently, InDesign automatically saves AI-generated images to a local drive without giving users the ability to specify a save location. This is completely inconsistent with InDesign’s core functionality, which relies on linked assets rather than embedded files. When working in a team—especially in networked environments where assets are stored on a NAS or shared drive—this oversight makes it impossible to maintain proper file linking. As a result, when multiple designers are collaborating on a document, exports fail due to missing links.

    This is the only time InDesign has ever had such a problem with asset management. Every other workflow allows users to control file paths, ensuring seamless collaboration. The fact that AI-generated images are treated differently makes no sense and creates unnecessary roadblocks.

    Adobe must address this issue immediately by allowing users to set a preferred save location for AI-generated images, just as they can for any other linked asset. Until this is fixed, the feature is fundamentally broken for professional use.

    Please escalate this as a high-priority fix. InDesign is an industry-standard tool for collaborative publishing, and this implementation of AI-generated images contradicts its entire workflow philosophy.

    Looking forward to a resolution.

20. Section Symbol only displays SS

    I have a series of sections defined in my document. When I insert a type --> special character --> symbol --> Section Marker, the result is only the "SS" symbol regardless of what section it is in or what modifiers I put on it to assign it a value (i.e. 1, 2, A, B, etc). I see that this was a bug back in 2020 but I'm running current build as of 3/13/25. Please advise if this is a user error or a continuous bug/how to correct. thank you
