1. [ID-4260022][ExtendScript] Folder.prototype.create fails on macOS/InDesign 20.1

   Something has broken in ExtendScript's Folder.prototype.create method on MacOS and Indesign 20.1.

   To test yourself, save the following script to your disk, and run it in Indesign.

   
   (function () {
   
       var scriptFolder = File($.fileName).parent;
       var deepFolder = Folder(scriptFolder + '/A/B/C/D');
   
       if (!deepFolder.exists)
           deepFolder.create();
   
       if (deepFolder.exists) {
           alert('Folder created successfully.');
       }
       else {
           alert('Failed to create folder "' + deepFolder.fsName + '".');
       }
   
   })();
   
   

   Expected Result:
   Prior to this bug, this script would successfully create the folder and subfolders, in the same folder as the script is saved.

   Actual Result:
   Each time the script is run, it creates only one more level of sub folder. So the first time run it creates folder "A", then the next time run it creates "B" etc.

4. [ID-4255870] Document Fonts available even if not active

   Working on an indesign document that has its own “Document Fonts” folder that contains fonts specific to that document (not activated anywhere else), then switching to a new document that does not have any “Document Fonts” folder, the fonts of the previous document are still available, but if I close indesign completely and then reopen the new document the fonts are no longer available.

   This is not correct, fonts that are not activated or not present in the “Document Fonts” folder specific to that document, should not be available for other documents that do not reside in the same folder.

   The old version of indesign (19.5) didn't do this.

   Furthermore, if you export a PDF of a document that contains a non-activated font, but which is displayed correctly due to the above, in the generated PDF the font will be replaced by a system font (Minion Pro, Times, etc.)

   Indesign 20.0
   MacOs Sonoma 14.7
   Apple M1 Ultra

6. [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.

7. [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.

8. [ID-4256547] InDesign 2025 Won't Lock "Constrain Proportions"

   When creating a frame, rectangle, any object, or selecting any other object, InDesign 2025 will not keep Constrain Proportions locked when the lock icon is clicked on the control bar.

   The user now has to click it while they select each object and want to scale an object by scaling either the width or height.

   I didn't notice this at first, but found out from a Reddit post.

9. [ID-4256546]Bug when setting an even number as the start page number in a new document.

   Bug when setting an even number for the start page number when creating a new document

   1. Version of Adobe InDesign
      CC2025 (ver. 20.0) JP

   2. Steps to reproduce the issues
      Set any even number for the start page number on the Create New Document screen.

   3. Expected result
      An even page number will be displayed in Current Page Number as set.

   4. Actual resul
      The value set in the New Document screen will not be reflected, and “Current Page Number” will display “1”.

   As shown in the attached figure, when “Current Page Number” is inserted into a new document with the starting page number set to an even number, the document starts with “1”.
   (As long as the number set in the new document creation screen is an even number, any value will not be reflected and will become “1”).

   This phenomenon can be recovered by temporarily setting a different value in “Number & Section Option”.
   However, for users who are not aware of this behavior, it is sure to cause great confusion.
   It can also cause significant time loss in finding a solution.
   We have not been able to verify whether this bug is specific to the Japanese version, but we recognize that it is a very serious bug.
   We sincerely hope that the development team will fix it as soon as possible.

   <Japanese Comment>
   新規ドキュメント作成で開始ページ番号に偶数番号を設定すると発生する不具合

   InDesignのバージョン
   CC2025 (ver.20.0) JP

   問題の再現手順
   新規ドキュメント作成画面で、開始ページ番号に任意の偶数を設定する。

   予想される結果
   「現在のページ番号」に、設定通りの偶数ページ番号が表示される。

   実際の結果
   新規ドキュメント画面で設定した値は反映されず、「現在のページ番号」に「1」が表示される。

   添付画像のように、開始ページ番号を偶数番号に設定した新規ドキュメントに、「現在のページ番号」を挿入すると「1」から開始されます。
   （新規ドキュメント作成画面で設定した番号が偶数である限り、いかなる値であっても反映されず「1」となる）

   この現象は「ページ番号とセクションの設定」で、一時的に別の値を設定すれば回復します。
   しかしこの挙動を認識していないユーザーにとって、大きな混乱を招く原因となることは間違いありません。
   また、解決策を見つけるために大きな時間のロスを生む可能性があります。
   この不具合は日本語版固有の問題なのかは検証できていませんが、非常に深刻なバグであると認識しています。
   開発チームには早急に改善していただくよう切に希望します。

10. [ID-4257184]InDesign 2025(v20.0) Performance issues: Delay or beach balls on basic operations

    Problem: 

    InDesign Performance issues: Delay or beach balls observed on basic operations on Macintosh

    Steps to Reproduce:

    • We have reproduced one scenario in which the existence of the Documents Font Folder and Contextual Task bar results in some slowness.
    • Other workflows causing slowness are being investigated - No reliable reproducible steps

    Impacted workflows:

    • Switching to InDesign
    • Open/Closing of Document
    • Edit/Scroll/Copy-paste/Highlight operation on Text
    • Text disappears, illustrations disappear
    • Imported or added text turns black until a style is applied.
    • Font menu highlight not following my mouse movement
    • Text will not change fonts until I click the mouse inside or outside the text box.
    • Resize a document window, the corner flies below the screen border
    • Click or Drag of the mouse
    • Switching between tools
    • "Waiting for UXP plugins to finish up remaining tasks."

    Workaround:

    • Disable Contextual Task Bar or remove Documents Font Folder
    • Close the MAGNET application
    • Revert to InDesign 19.5, No performance lag is observed.
    • Restarting the machine and trashing the preferences seems to resolve the issue temporarily
    • Disabling any font manager software seems to resolve the issue. One customer confirmed that disabling "Rightfont" resolved the issue.
    • Uninstall-Reinstall seems to resolve the issue temporarily
    • Turn off Preflight seems to resolve the issue temporarily

    Note:

    1. The issue seems to be specific to the MAC platform only. Impacted macOS (Sequoia, Sonoma, Ventura(maybe), Monterey)
    2. The issue seems to be specific to the MAC devices
       • Apple MacBook Pro M1/M2/M3
       • Apple MacBook Air M1/M2/M3
       • Apple Max Studio M1/M2/M3
       • Apple Mac mini M1/i7 Intel
    3. The issue exists for both old and new documents

    Additional information needed:

    1. Are you opening the indd documents from the folder containing the Documents Font Folder?
    2. Is the "Contextual Task bar" shown? If yes, Disable it from "Window->Contextual Task bar"
    3. Screenshot of Memory usage while the issue is observed
    4. Please follow the below steps for InDesign 20.0.1.32 and InDesign PR 20.1.066 on Macintosh
       • Open Terminal in full-screen mode
       • Drag the InDesign application on the terminal (e.g. "/Applications/Adobe\ InDesign\ 2025/Adobe\ InDesign\ 2025.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ InDesign\ 2025")
       • Copy the logs when you start facing the slowness in a text(.txt) file. Share the file with us at sharewithID@adobe.com.

11. [ID-4243320] Incorrect cursor movement in RTL text when Harfbuzz text shaping is used.

    InDesign version: v20 (both Mac & PC)

    In right-to-left languages ​​(Hebrew & Arabic) the cursor movement went crazy:
    - Left key - goes up
    - Right key - jumps to the end of the line...
    We can't work that way

    Note: both (23\25 indd) set to 'Visual' in preferences > right-to-left > cursor movement (of course, changing the setting to 'logical' doesn’t solve it)

13. [ID-4257733]The amount of “Indent to Here” in a paragraph with a “Text Wrap” object at the beginning of the line is wider than usual.

    1. Version of Adobe InDesign Windows CC2023-2024
    2. Steps to reproduce the issues Place an object with "Text Wrap" at the beginning of the line and insert "Indent to Here" in the paragraph.
    3. Expected result Wrap at "Indent to Here"
    4. Actual result A gap is created where the "Text Wrap" is added to the wrap of "Indent to Here".

    2. 問題を再現する手順 行頭に「テキストの回り込み」のオブジェクトを置き、段落内に「ここまでインデント」を入れる
    3. 期待される結果 「ここまでインデント」での折り返し
    4. 実結果 「ここまでインデント」の折り返しに「テキストの回り込み」分が加算された広い空きができる

    下記の投稿にある問題が2023（18.0）で修正されたことが関係しているのではないかと疑っています。

    1. Version of Adobe InDesign Windows CC2023-2024
    2. Steps to reproduce the issues Place an object with "Text Wrap" at the beginning of the line and insert "Indent to Here" in the paragraph.
    3. Expected result Wrap at "Indent to Here"
    4. Actual result A gap is created where the "Text Wrap" is added to the wrap of "Indent to Here".

    I suspect that the issue mentioned in the post below may be related to it being fixed in 2023 (18.0).

14. Icon Panels do not expand correctly when Application Frame is OFF.

    Recurring issue from one InDesign upgrade to the next! Found 2- and 6-year old reports of the same bug. In-between updates fix it but reoccurs with every new upgrade...

    ISSUE
    When Application Frame is disabled, panels that are on the right side of the screen don't expand towards the left as they normally would but to the right.
    The bigger the UI scaling size, the more to the right of the screen the panel expansion moves, soon disappearing altogether. Only smallest sizing allows to display properly.
    Attaching screenshot for reference.
    No problem when Application Frame is enabled.

    TECHNICAL INFO:
    macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (happened in prior OS versions too) – Retina 5K, 27-inch-2019
    Adobe 2024 (19.2)

    TEMPORARY WORKAROUND
    Change preference of UI scaling to smallest.

15. [ID-4255452] Text variables with modification date not working when saved to Cloud.

    I created a text variable to update the date when the document is modified. When I opened my document in the beta version of InDesign, the text frame for my text variable was empty. I tried to re-enter the variable, and I tried making a new variable. When I selected a variable that included the current date, it would not appear. I created a Modification Date text variable and a custom text variable based on the Modification date. They appeared correctly. I saved the InDesign doc to the cloud. Once I applied a paragraph style, the text disappeared in both boxes.

    I have created a share for review link for others to comment on, however it's requiring them to log into an account even though it's set to "Anyone with the link can comment". This was not the case before, others could comment as a guest. Using InDesign 2024 v19.0.1

17. PAC 2021 Error for InDesign generated PDF : Object reference not set to an instance of an object

    I am still getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object when testing pdf files in PAC 21. This error apparently relates to 'PDF Export using ZIP compression for images shows an “Insufficient data for an image” error on opening in Acrobat.

    This was supposed to be fixed in ID 18.5 but its now happening with every PDF I check for accessibility, even a single page with simple text.

    Working for local government and its imperative our PDF files exported from ID are fully accessible and tested. Seek an urgent fix.

18. Gray boxes behind photos in Share for Review

    I have been using the new Share for Review for the last little while and am enjoying receiving feedback directly on my documents for import into InDesign. However, I recently went to a published file and noticed that all of the images in my design now have a light gray square behind them. Additionally, the colours and blending on some of the images are all off or look odd. The gray boxes appear on all of my previously uploaded documents, and I've checked from multiple computers and they all appear to show these boxes.

    Please refer to this thread for previous discussion: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/share-for-review-gray-boxes-behind-all-images/m-p/13951228#M534701

    1. Version 18.4
    2. Publishing any InDesign file to 'Share for Review'
    3. Would expect it to appear on the web as it appears in my InDesign program
    4. Gray boxes appearing behind all photos (especially circular photos) and gradients all look off.
    5. Attached.

19. "Insufficient data for an image" error is shown on opening PDF in Acrobat

    We are experiencing issues with exporting to PDF. Hi res PDF Compatibility Acrobat 7 (PDF 1.6).
    The PDF is created normally, but when opening the PDF, it sometimes happens that the image is not displayed on one or more pages. The error message for this specific page is: ERROR: Insufficient data for an image.
    We tried to solve this problem within our team. Eventually, we discovered that the issue did not occur for one of our colleagues. Further investigation revealed that this colleague was still using an older version of InDesign (18.3). The colleagues experiencing problems had automatic updates enabled and were working on the new version 18.4. I then uninstalled my 18.4 version and reverted back to 18.3, and the PDF exports started working as before without the error message.

    I hope you can look into this and perhaps address it in the new InDesign version.

    Best regards,

20. InDesign 18.2 crashes/fails during PDF export for documents containing placed indd containing Adobe Fonts

    Problem/Actual Result
    I have Indesign files that have .indd files linked as images. Each time I export an Indesign file that has an .indd links, I receive the attached messages saying that the file cannot be exported.

    Steps to reproduce the issue:
    - I have exported each page to find out which assets are causing Indesign not to export, it is always an .indd asset.
    - I have tried removing any transparency from each of the .indd linkages
    - I have removed any transparency or object style on any bounding box an .indd file sits in.
    - I have tried removing any unused or empty layers in all of the .indd linkages
    - I have tried exporting Indesign files as Press Quality, High Quality Print and Small File size but no PDF can be produced.
    - I have tried saving the Indesign file and .indd linkages as IDML or INDT files, then resaving them as Indesign files, but no PDF is produced.
    
    - I have trashed all my preferences multiple times.
    - I have restarted my computer multiple times.
    - I have tested the above with multiple Indesign files and still receive the attached error messages

    Expected result:
    To successfully produce a PDF by using the File > Export function. The only way I can make a PDF currently is going to the Print dialog window and creating a PDF file but that is not desirable and very slow.
