1. Generating traceable and dynamic QR codes

   Currently, creating codes with InDesign is very simple, but limiting. In fact, it is not possible to trace the code or modify it once it is printed.

   To create dynamic QR codes, with modifiable links after printing, it is necessary to rely on third-party websites, such as QR code generator, which however requires a paid subscription.

   If instead we simply want to trace a link, we can upload it to BITLY... but always outside Adobe.

   It would be useful to have all this already included in Adobe, maintaining the ease of creation, the possibility of modifying the link once your account is still printed, and having more security, avoiding external sites. Additionally, the same function could be replicated in Illustrato

2. indent to here

   Indent to Here seems to be broken in v18, I don't recall this happening in previous versions (and I use Indent to Here all the time).

3. EPS-Import CYMK swatch LAB

   InDesign 18.1, macMOS Ventura 13.1, Mac Studio M1 Max

   Lesen Sie auch hier für eine sehr ausführliche Beschreibung und Lösungsansätze mit Beispieldateien:
   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/eps-import-wandelt-vollton-darstellung-von-lab-in-cmyk/m-p/13512387#M512258

   Eine Volltonfarbe, z.B. Pantone, ist in InDesign bereits angelegt. Die Darstellung der Farbe ist in LAB.

   Wenn ich nun ein EPS (aus Adobe Illustrator) mit der gleichen Pantone-Farbe importiere, dann springt die Darstellung der Farbe von LAB auf CMYK um und wird dadurch wesentlich schlechter.

   Das geschieht auch mit anderen Farben, z.B. ANPA.

4. dark interface &

   Appearance dark theme not matching the settings or OS. I selected dark theme but pasteboard and window top bar light grey. It should be uniform dark.

   Other issue is workspaces often does not show up after launching app requiring me to select a workspace other than my custom setting to show up on screen and only then can I select my custom workspace to have it show up. If I select my custom workspace right away after launch when no windows or tools show up nothing happens the screen stays without any panels or tools. Clearly a bug

6. Window resizing doesn't work in 18.1

   Hi, just updated to ID 18.1 and when I go to resize the document window to make it narrower (just grabbing the right side), it resizes the entire thing – height and width, doesn't go back to the way it was properly and ends up on the bottom of the screen, instead of just making the window narrower.

7. Fonts search and list not working properly

   Indesign doesn't let me search for fonts in the search bar of the fonts list dropdown. I can start typing, and then one font comes up, and I can't continue typing to bring up the font I want.
   Also, once I start typing in the fonts bar, I can no longer use my arrow keys to scroll through the fonts list and it's very frustrating.

9. Bottom toolbar/scroll bar dissapears when in fullscreen mode

   At first i thought it was my monitors, but it also does it when I have InDesign open on my laptop. I'm running the latest Microsoft update, and when I select Fullscreen on the InDesign window, the bottom bar disappears, so I'm unable to use the bottom scrollbar. It only re-appears when i minimize the window

10. [BUG] PDF export creating with hidden attribute

    We are an enterprise customer who haven't been able to get anywhere with the following:

    Issue occurs on Ventura 13.1 and Adobe InDesign 18.1.

    When exporting a PDF file to Mac desktop the file exports as expected.
    When exporting to a remote SMB share file creates with "Hidden" file attribute applied making the file invisible for those who do not have "Show hidden files" enabled.

    This is the same file, from the same computer at the same time with the only difference being the remote location.

    • Tested on two different Imac's (None apple silicon) running Ventura 13.1

    • Tested to two different SMB file shares ( Dell EMC Unity running SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLES) )

    • Confirmed issue is present on a brand newly created InDesign file.

    • PDF files created via Microsoft Word and saved to the same location do not experience this issue.

    • Confirmed no file inheritance permissions are set on the parent folder they are being dropped into.

    • Occasionally it will work as intended once and then fail to work for subsequent attempts.

    • issue is also present when opening a PDF via Adobe Acrobat V22.003.20281 and using this to save a PDF copy to the remote file location.

    Current work around:

    Export file to desktop and then copy to file share. File creates as extended.

14. ?bug re bulleted lists in v18

    I have just opened an InDesign document I created in Aug 2022. I am now using InDesign v18.1 x42. It converted the document from Shivani.indd to Shivani.indd[converted], as I see it does when you open documents created in previous versions.

    However, all my bulleted lists are no longer bulleted lists, they are just text, with the bullet symbol and a single space at the start of each line. When I select the text the bulleted list icon in “Bullets and Numbering” is no longer highlighted. But more of a problem is that clicking on “options” in “Bullets and Numbering” brings up the options dialogue but everything in the box is greyed out and cannot be selected.

    Is this a known issue? A feature? A bug or unintended consequence?

    (I am using Windows 10)

15. InDesign: Insert authors document's metadata without quotes

    Version
    Adobe InDesign up to 2023.

    Steps to reproduce the issues
    Setting the active document’s metadataPreferences.author with multiple authors, separated by comma or semicolon in a string via extendscript:
    
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.author = "Elric Wade; Anne Emu; Sophie Kumpir";


    Expected result
    The authors should be placed into the "Author" metadata field, separated by comma or semicolon.

    Actual result
    The authors are placed into the "Author" metadata field, but all set within double quotes, so they appear to be one author, not multiple authors.

    Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)
    See attached screenshot.

    Please make it possible to add multiple authors (e.g. with not quoting comma or semicolon separated strings, or by letting pass-in an array with names).

16. Links palette issue

    Hi there;

    I'm encountering a bug with the "Links" palette. Specifically, for a long list of links, the "Link info" panel doesn't preview properly, but rather overlaps the main list of links. Similarly, if a link alphabetically appears towards the bottom of the list, it isn't possible to select it from the Links palette.

    Hoping this can be fixed with the next INDD update?!

    Help! When I click on the Paragraph tools panel, it takes about 3 seconds for it to open. Other panels (characters, styles, swatches, etc.) open immediately.

    This is a new issue with this version of InDesign. Is there something I can do to fix this?

18. matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor resets pasteboardMargins to [0,0]

    In a script, app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor to 1 causes app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.pasteboardMargins to reset to [0,0].

    Furthermore, setting the pasteboardMargins doesn't work after setting app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor to 1.

    (While matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor is set to 0 everything works fine.)

19. EPUB Export with JPG images causes a validation error for the cover image due to an **already identified** InDesign bug

    When you Export an EPUB with JPG images, it always causes a file type validation error for the cover image.

    I have already identified the bug in InDesign. Instead of turning the cover art into an actual .jpg format, InDesign instead just rasterizes the first page of the book as a .png and changes the extension name of a .png file to .jpg without actually being the correct file format.

    Please fix this.

20. InDesign 2023 18.0 /Users/user/Library/Application Support/Adobe InDesign/Version 18.0/en_US/InDesign Recovery/ filling up with DBTmp files

    We have an automated process using InDesign to export the XML out of a .indd files. We are experiencing a scenario where InDesign is leaving behind numerous DBTmp files in /Users/user/Library/Application Support/Adobe InDesign/Version 18.0/en_US/InDesign Recovery/ to the point that our Mac is filling up a 500 Gig SSD. These files do not clean up after Quitting InDesign, a Reboot, attempting the Reset InDesign Preferences Shift-Control-Option-Command startup of InDesign. These files are also locked. In our scenario, we hit 119,000 files or so and InDesign just quit working due to the drive being full. I have attached a list of the files to this request
