tagged annotations - failed!
Indesign 15.1.3
Right now InDesign is USELESS for creating accessible pdfs, and they are the one thing I MUST create these days! It's the same every time, however you tag objects, artefacts etc they come up as tagged annotations failed. This means that the document CAN'T BE PUBLISHED. InDesign is a useless waste of money. It is rubbish in this day and age.
This needs fixing! The world wants accessible documents now!

Effects / blending mode
InDesign 16.4 x Windows 64: Cannot scroll the list of blending modes with arrow key(s) and preview the results in a selected box. I've always been able to do this in the past (InDesign CS 2, 4, 6). New laptop, new Adobe subscription. I can 'scroll,' but no preview. Window closes each time, so at least 30 clicks to re-open and select through the list.
2 votesHi everyone,
The behavior mentioned here has been there since InDesign CC (that came out more than 8 years ago in 2013).
Behavior in InDesign CS6 (and earlier) was different.Please confirm if you were seeing different behavior in any of the CC versions. Illustrator also behaves the same way.

Printing Documents with VFs directly from InDesign is broken, need to export to PDF first
Hello support team!
We at Dalton Maag noticed that we couldn't print documents containing variable fonts directly from InDesign 16.3 on macOS Big Sur. Export to a PostScript file produces a broken file. The document needs to be exported to PDF first. We found this issue on our client font but managed to reproduce it with Source Serif VF from https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-serif/releases/tag/4.004R.I sent the following files to Josh Hadley at Adobe:
- A ZIP containing test documents, a broken exported PostScript file and a correctly exported PDF file
- An AVI showing how we tested
- A JPG showing what comes out…

Object states button disappears after click
In a multi-state object, the button that activates the MSO disappears after being clicked. No where in the settings have I told it to disappear after being clicked.
Version: I'm running InDesign 16.3.2 (though I downgraded to 16.2 and am still having the problem)
Steps to reproduce issue:
I created the MSO using buttons/forms and the object states panel. Close button should revert back to original state (star).
Expected Result: Button should reappear.
Actual Result: Button is gone after click.Video of ePub preview attached.
The problem is both in the ePub preview and when published online.

subscription status.
I get the following message at random times when launching InDesign - I do not have issues when launching other Adobe Products and I can have PS open and launch ID and still get this issue so I have to believe that this is a issue with ID.

cannot scroll to preview corner options
InDesign 16.3 CC download, Win64: In previous versions of InDesign I could select a text or image box, open the 'corner options' drop-down list, and arrow/scroll through the options to preview the effect of each on the selected box. In InDesign CC, I can arrow through the list but no previews are shown on the selected box. Instead, it takes 12 clicks to re-open and select each of the six options. I have posted this problem in the community, with responses from Bill Silbert and Steve Werner. They concur that it's an InDesign/Windows Bug.

[INDD 2020 and 2021] Document fonts folder does not work with fonts for placed SVGs
Provide a font file with the Document fonts folder for a placed SVG graphic where the font is not embedded.
RESULT: InDesign will not use the font for rendering text with the placed SVG graphic.ALSO: Even if the font is installed for ALL USERS in the system on Windows 10 InDesign will not package the font that is needed with the placed SVG graphic.
One cannot be sure what fonts are needed with placed SVG graphics. When InDesign documents are saved, closed and re-opened, Preflight and Type > Find Fonts… will not show them.
The only check you can…

FontExplorer Error
Hi -
Everything's been working great for months, but after updating to InDesign 16.3.2 recently, I started getting the error message attached and am not sure why. It's also functioning fine in my other Adobe apps.
"Could not start FontExplorer X Pro because it could not be found or the license file is missing"
FEX 7.2.6 (build 20687)
InDesign plugin 3.5.6
InDesign 16.3.2
macOS 10.15.7 (19H1323)I'm not entirely sure if it's an InDesign or FEX issue, but have reported the issue to Monotype as well.
Thanks!

page number
Dear Adobe Team,
InDesign 16.3.2 seems to have an issue showing previous and next page numbers.
I draw a textbox > special characters menu > mark > previous/next page number > page number is included. Except it only shows the current page number.
It would be nice know if I made a mistake or if this is a bug.

On an RGB-image it should take an RGB color. Escpecially when the document is set to 'RGB Blend Space'.

Problem with linked Mathtype *.EPS equations after last update in Indesign 16.3. Equations are destroyed in exported PDF for printing.
I have finished book with 1.5k of equations and i am unable to export PDF for printing. (see attached files) HEEEELP! All Mathtype equations use system fonts (Times New Roman & Symbol) and they are EPS files linked in InDesign. If i open that equation file in MathType or Illustrator everything is OK. I can send whatever files you want.

3 page master page spread (book cover). Unable to resize just the spine, the page tool selects ALL pages on the spread.
3 page master page spread (book cover). Unable to resize just the spine, the page tool selects ALL pages on the spread. I have discovered that the page tool works as expected when using any of the 'canned' workspaces, but using my (or any) custom workspace 'breaks' the page tool's functionality of being able to select a single page of a spread. Liquid Layout on or off makes no difference.
