1. Error when pasting hex color code with #

   When pasting a hex code with a hash character prefix (#) in InDesign 18.3 (macOS 12.6.8) you get an error that it is a incorrect color format. Even if I try to "correct" the pasted text by removing the hash character, I can‘t get InDesign to accept the pasted color code.

   This annoying "bug" applies to the color window/palette.

2. relink with file extension bug

   Relink File Extension is not working. This bug seems persistent so I can only assume not too many people are reporting it, but it's slowing down my productivity. When I try to use Relink File Extensions and choose the option to link images that have the .psd extension rather than a .jpeg I get the error message "Failed to find 1 links in new folder. These links have not been relinked, and will remain selected in the Links panel." Each time I've attempted to do this over the last couple of months, I double-check that the only difference in the file name is the extension. And I confirm both images are in the same directory. It just doesn't work. Please, please fix! This is a big feature for me in my production work flow. Not having it is slowing me down.

   Need More Info  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

   Hi Kevin & others,

   It looks like you may be inputting ".psd" when it asks you for the filename extension.

   Try inputting just "psd" - that is, without the period in front.

   See what happens - it should work.

   Let us know your findings.

3. Share for Review

   Share for Review and PDF export have been consistently not working. Below is a screen share of my attempting to export a PDF and share for review. I recently got a new computer. I don't know if it's an issue with syncing but it's happening with every document I open. I get notifications from time to time saying PDF won't export because of a PNG file that is misplaced but it doesn't mention what file. Imagine trying to locate the needle in a haystack.

   I've closed the files, restarted inDesign, verified that it was up to date, scoured the forums, but nothing seems to work.

4. Drag copying to move the duplicate object no longer shows the original during the move.

   Bug, or simply changed way to do this with modifier keys? I've noticed that lately when I drag copy an object to its new position, the original vanishes during the drag. Often I need to drag it and still see the original while dragging for an exact placement in relationship to the original being copied. Has that vanished from InDesign? If not, I've not been able to find a list of modifier keys for drag copying variations.

6. PDF from Indesign 18.5 document that has placed .indd files fails to RIP on EFI Fiery RIPs

   I have a file which is a page of placed indd files to make up a label sheet.

   Since updating from 18.3 to 18.5 this file and other similar files fail to RIP on two different (one xerox and one konica) EFI fiery systems.

   Downgrading back to 18.3 fixes the issue.

8. Using a decimal tab negatively affects line breaks

   InDesign 18.5 on Mac
   Providing the steps would involve too many specific formatting choices, so I'll just describe what I'm seeing instead. I have a two-column text box for endnotes (literal; not InDesign-generated. E.g., "[tab]1.[tab]Note text."). I want the descriptors to align on the decimal point. When I use a decimal tab, the following text breaks like this:

   [tab]6.[tab]Paul Renouard, Docteur Char-
   cot, cover of...

   The width of the text frame, however, will clearly accommodate "cot, cover." If I change the decimal tab to a right tab (and adjust its placement slightly so that the period is in almost exactly the same place), the line reflows as

   [tab]6.[tab]Paul Renouard, Docteur Charcot, cover
   of...

   I've checked hyphenation settings, justification settings, and so on, but nothing will let the line rebreak as it should EXCEPT changing the decimal tab to a right tab. In fact, even if I try to a single letter after "Char" with the tab set as a decimal, InDesign forces the letter to the next line when it will clearly fit on the first line. Attached are two images showing the difference.

9. portrait mode - Whether at 125% or 100% the Indesign Interface scaling option under Preferences does not work.

   BUG DETAILS- On a Monitor that is setup in a Portrait configuration, whether at 125% or 100% display scale in Windows Settings, the Indesign Interface scaling option under Preferences does not work.

   Adobe is a publishing software, especially InDesign. Book Publishers and their graphic design team need to have the option of working in a monitor setup in a Portrait configuration for the purpose of full vertical page (height) dimensions. I cannot get Indesign to Scale the Interface at all under Preferences when monitors are set in Portrait configuration. This is a bug because the InDesign interface does scale (as intended, under Preferences) when monitors are in landscape configuration.

   The result is that the menu items and tool icons are so small they are virtually unreadable.

   Walked through this with a tech on Adobe phone Support to confirm all this - that portrait Interface scaling is not possible on my end or the tech's end. We walked through all the troubleshooting steps, including setting the Windows Display Scale settings to 100% and trying to adjust Display Resolution.

   It remains unresolved. Those of us with glasses and eye strain, thank you in advance

15. Negative values needed size and position options in Object Style

    Currently, you cannot set negative values for the Size and Position Options inside of Object Styles.

    This is an obvious error because sometimes, you need a class of objects to bleed. For example, I would like a ImageFullpage style that I could use to set images that bleed on all four sides.

    This requires that they be positioned at -0.125 x and 0.125 y.

    Also, an ImageCaption style that sets a caption on top of an image should allow me to use -y: .125. When combined with the bottom reference point and the from: "group" option (another request), it would set the caption so that the bottom was aligned 0.125 Inches above the image easily.

16. "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle" behavior in Page Panel is opposite

    About Page Panel menu, "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle".
    When you check here, you can’t shuffle pages. You need to be off the check to shuffle. It's contrary to content.
    I hope this will be fixed to "Not Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle".
    Thank you.

17. Accessing alternate characters in fonts for paragraph styles

    Environment
    MacOS: 13.5
    Adobe Indesign 18.5
    Version of font: Inter Medium 3.019;git-0a5106e0b

    Recently I have been trying to access the alternate closed ‘a’ character in the font Inter from Google fonts. For some reason I can not access this alternate character and set as a universal style to apply to other text boxes.
    I have approached GitHub to flag Inter with issues but have been informed that it might not be an issue with the font but rather how Indesign UI is accessing it. Please note that Adobe Illustrator seems to access this alternate closed ‘a’ character with the Open Type ‘Stylist Alternatives’ option but Indesign can not.

    Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
    Using Inter font - Type a normal ‘a’ within text box in InDesign (Ive been testing Inter Medium but seems any Inter weight should replicate the issue).
    Try swapping out the lowercase ‘a’ to the alternate closed ‘a’ with the character or paragraph windows - this is to make sure that I can save the style to apply to other text throughout the document.
    Please note: this option should be available to save as a style in order to use this as a universal paragraph style for any future text. Just swapping out an alternate character with find/replace is not a solution.

    Expected behaviour
    One of the alternate character options or stylist sets should universally change out all lowercase ‘a’ characters to closed ‘a’ character so that the style can be set for the whole document.

    MacOS: 13.5
    Adobe Indesign 18.5

18. Publish Online Analytics slow or failing

    Many of us have raised the publish online dashboard analytics slow loading and/or complete failure to work and it still seems to ne ignored.

    We have noticed across our design team that analytics seems to work differently across different accounts. Accounts with less documents published online have greater success and speed in returning analytics. Those with over a 100 documents for example have limited success.

    We think this maybe due to that when you request the analytics for a 'single' document Adobe systems are not just loading that 'single' document. They are processing the whole account and all documents within.

    This would makes sense in that an account with less documents can retrieve statistics for 1 year or 'since published' options. But an account with hundreds of documents 'for us' is limited to 60 to 90 day statistics.

    We assume this 'whole account' processing must be the case because when statistics for a single document are received for say a 1 year date range - all other documents can be 'instantly' viewed for that 1 year date range without any reloading or searching of the data.

    Can Adobe please fix this or at least tell us if it will NOT be fixed.

    We think this maybe due to that when you request the analytics for a 'single' document Adobe systems are not just loading that 'single' document. They are processing the whole account and all documents within.
