InDesign CC exporting idml's with errors not found in the indd file
When packaging InDesign CC 14.0.2 .indd files, the resulting idml file has content frames jumping around. The resulting packaged indd file looks fine, but in the idml content frames have moved resulting in images being cut off and text boxes shift cutting off text.
Process is simply packaging a working indd file with no particularly special settings. Package with indd, idml and pdf. This doesn't happen in every file, maybe 1 in 100.

Create outlines in a document with conditional text crashes
I have four InDesign templates created, two use conditional text while the other two do not. I have no problem creating outlines of the document without the conditional text. Every time I try to create outlines of a page in a document with conditional text, I get the endless spinning wheel and have to force quit.
2 votesThe fix for this issue is now available in the latest InDesign version 15.1.
Please update to this version to get the fix.

Switch primary text frame's Text Frame Options for multiple pages
Switch primary text frame's Text Frame Options for multiple pages. See this item on forum: https://forums.adobe.com/message/11180092#11180092. Using 14.0.2 x64. You can't use applying a new Master Page to switch Balance Columns off and on on a Primary Text Frame, though you can use it to change number of columns. Thank you for your attention to this likely bug.

Affected: InDesign CC all versions that are working with CC Libraries.

Indd file size optimization
The filesize of the .indd file increases with every new linked image and is not reset after deleting old images from the workspace.
If you use the save as function and overwrite the file, the size of the .indd file is much smaller (like 190 MB before and 12 MB after).InDesign should clean up the file with every normal saving process !

Using glyphs in a text variable
I've defined a text variable that I use for a running header. This variable is defined from the first use of a "chapter title" paragraph style that I've also defined. I've inserted this variable on my A-master page, which is synced between documents in my book. The problem I'm running into is that I've used a number of glyphs in the text comprising the first use of that style, and the text variable (my running header) looks garbled: it's missing letters and has mixed caps. If it matters, the font I'm using is Orpheus Pro Bold.
Attached are two screenshots:…

table formatting
Menu for formatting Table 'alternate row' shading, doesn't make sense — it gives options for 'Every other row' and 'Every second row'. To me those are redundant.

Creating a catalogue with a large table FREEZING in indesign CC 2019
We've been making a large catalogue pricelist for over 13 years using indesign.
We're now stuck on the 2017 (12.1.0) version.
We want to update it, but in the latest version, importing our pricelist from excel into a table, slows the whole thing down to an unworkable speed.info:
the table is around 13000 rows by 10 columns. so not small.
it does import in the 2017 version. slow to import in both, but can use and work on after import in 2017 version.
2019, freezes when scroll used, and take 1-3 mins to unfreeze. Scroll again or do anything…2 votes -

DataMerge facing pages odd disposition
Indesign 2019 14.0.2 x64 on Windows 10
I have created a data merge document that uses a facing pages master. My document before DataMerge only has one page. When the document is created only right pages are created, but the spread come back to facing pages if I add a second layout or if I toggle "allow selected spreads to shuffle" off and on again.
If my model has two pages, the document after DataMerge creates a list single right and left pages alternated untill you change the layout or toggle shuffle.
I think that it should be a spread…2 votes -
JavaScript appliedMaster override causes textFrame to move on X axis
When overriding via JavaScript, the same elements (textFrames) move 0.75" to the right on the x axis!
This does not happen when overriding master elements on a page manually - everything works as expected i.e. the textFrames don't move.
I'm using InDesign 14.0.2 x64 on Windows 10.

When printing files from InDesign, we are experiencing issues. Random text is appearing bold that is not formatted as bold in the original working file. Also we are experiencing pictures imported that are pdfs as a black block and not showing the imported picture on the printed document. Do you have any recommendations on how this can be resolved? The only way we found to get around the matter is to create a pdf and print from the pdf. This issue has just been happening recently, we’ve never had this issue before.

Shortcut CMD + S increasing the file size.
Files created within InDesign are increasing in size dramatically with every CMD + S.
It is not the files linked in the document which are 100 % to the ration they are seen and resetting the cache ~/Library>Caches> Adobe Indesign does not have any effect.

Conditional text prevents smart text reflow.
Conditional text prevents smart text reflow.
When using Smart Text Reflow with conditional text and the "delete empty pages" option selected—Hiding conditional text works as expected removing the empty pages. However, when conditional text is unhidden, Smart Text Reflow does not repopulate the pages.
