Major lagging/hanging when typing text and selecting objects
InDesign 14.0.1; Windows 10
I was experiencing some major lag when typing text, up to 30 seconds. Even when text started to appear, words would appear only one letter at a time with significant delay in between. The problem then expanded to selecting and moving objects around on a page. InDesign for me has been unusable for the past few hours (Jan. 25, 2019 from 1:30 - 4:30pm EST). I even tried reverting back to version 14.0 and had no luck. Rebooted several times. I then went into my system restore and saw that earlier today a Microsoft Visual C++…

keeping cross references when updating linked data
In my file (IDCC2019), the technical data of the tables are imported from an Excel database. The index generated from these data works perfectly. But when updating these links, cross-references are removed. How to keep cross references when updating linked data?

InDesign exporting wrong PDF size
Jan. 18, 2019
My document settings in InDesign are 3.66x8.5.
When I export to any type of PDF it shows as being 4x9
No bleed, no slug. I know sometimes the numbers are rounded up when you look at the size on a PDF but this is odd.When I do a test with a document size of 3x8 I'm still getting a 4x9.

Oswald Book Font Installed on Windows but doesn't work in InDesign
I am using InDesign CC 14.0 for Windows 7 and I am having trouble with a font called Oswald. I have 3 fonts from the family Oswald installed on my computer (book, light, and bold). However, Oswald Book does not work in InDesign. It works in Illustrator and Microsoft Word so it appears to be an InDesign issue rather than a font installation issue.

Indesign CC 2018 (oct): display of frame borders offset by 1 pixel
Indesign CC 14.0.1 x64, german
put a pageitems' left border exactly on X=0, aligning the item to the left side of a right page on facing pages... see screenshot...
Frame border is displayed offset by 1 pixel.
This does not apply to right aligned items on left pages. Here the frame border is displayed fine.
It's minor ... but ugly.

Converting footnotes to endnotes ignores some endnote-settings
Indesign CC 2019 (oct)
When converting footnotes to endnotes the endnotes-settings for creating them at the end of story or in a place gun are ignored. Endnotes from converted footnotes are always placed in a new frame at the end of document.
Expected behaviour: Converted footnotes should appear in the place gun if the endnote-setting says so.
(Sidenote/Opinion: letting indesign insert a single page seems like a workaround - as this might reflow a large document and also totally jumble up the page composition. I know that ID has become way more clever in dealing with odd/even switching of pages…

PageMaker import doesn't work.
InDesign is supposed to import PageMaker 6.5 documents. Adobe gives instructions for it here: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/converting-quarkxpress-pagemaker-documents.html#convert_pagemaker_documents
This doesn't work. Not only are p65 files not recognized as loadable by default, but attempting to load them forcibly results in an error message from InDesign.

What about screenplay? Will InCopy replace Story?
Hello everyone.
I know that Story will be discontinued, and I noticed that the InCopy just came to play.
I was happy to have a screen writing software that I have already paid for, even though I am an adobe client for it's video editing softwares.
If InCopy is capable to assist me on writing, I will not need to spend more money on writingWhat I need from InCopy is what I had on story regarding to format, I mean: Scene Header, Action, Character, Parenthesis and Dialog... I just hit one key and I can swap between what I…

eyedropper not working correctly
That's version 14.0.1.209
When I create a NEW document — there is no problem, the eyedropper working correctly.
BUT...
When I work in a document that was previously in an earlier version (for example, CC 2018), then this problem is present.If I CREATE a new text box in a document that has been re-saved from an earlier version (IC 2018), then the eyedropper will not work correctly.
If I CREATE a new text box in a NEW document (CCP 2019), and then transfer it to an old document, then the eyedropper in the new box will not work.
If…

High Quality Display Not working
I have used INDD for about 15 years. Very experienced. but just upgraded it to CC2019 along with Mac OS Mojave 10.14.1. I can no longer see images in high quality (since the upgrades). I have triple checked everything. (image res, all INDD settings etc..) Is this a known issue?
2 votesWe guess you must have already checked your Display Performance settings. Could you confirm if it is set to HQ? Also, are all links up-to-date?

updating links
When updating links in InDesign CC 14.0 (an InDesign file linked to 4 instances) the update comes in too large for the frame. So you have to Fit Content Proportionally. This happens with PSD and AI files as well.

Imported drawn PDF comments don't adjust in ID layout
- ID 14
- Import a batch of PDF comments into layout, including edits made using the Oval and Arrow tools to show placement. Then proceed to apply edits, thereby adjusting the location of the text on the page.
- I would expect the drawn edits to be tagged to a location in the text, and to track with the copy as it reflows. If this feature is going to be available, that is.
- Actual result: the markup remains on the page at the coordinates at which it was imported. By the time to you get to that location, if you've been making…

locked objects
InDesign CC 2019 14.01, iMac OSx 10.13.6
Serious lag (+10 seconds) and inability to move or edit objects occurs whenever there are locked objects in the layout. I was able to select (after a long delay) but not move or edit a simple text+shape group while I had background and secondary elements locked. Once those were unlocked, the app started to work again as normal.

Text has Overrides when copy/pasted within the same text frame
This is with regards to InDesign 13.1
As you can see in the screenshot, when I copy a text and put it in the same text frame (same paragraph style) it automatically has an override.
Hovering over the name of the paragraph style does not show the deviation, but right-clicking allows to clear all overrides (which successfully removes them).It is quite annoying to get an override every time I copy text or a text frame.

GREP: Repetition (*, +) at the end of a Positive Lookbehind group doesn't seem to work
Product: Adobe InDesign CC 2019 (14.01)
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a document with the text "abcde"
- (Case 1) Do a GREP search for "(?<=bc+)d"
- (Case 1) Do a GREP search for "(?<=bc*)d"Expected result: highlight the "d"
Actual result: Cannot find match.
Note that searching for "(?<=bc)d" does work, as do of course "(?<b)c*d" and "(?=b)c+d".
Note also that this applied to GREP Styles in a paragraph style.
2 votesDoes including bc in a Character Set, like:
(?<=[bc*])d
OR
(?<=[bc+])d
work for you? -
can't move elements
I could not move an element on a page (happens to be a circle, with a stroke applied to it). I tried creating a new circle with the ellipse tool and copying the attributes with the eye dropper tool; this too I could not move. I tried creating a new circle and applying the attributes manually; again, this too I could not move.
I must say, I am REALLY not impressed with this latest "update" to inDesign. The amount of bizarre behavior by the software is making my work a struggle lately.
