Publish Online unacceptable result
Used InDesign's (2026) Publish Online function for a simple, 1-page flyer, horizontal ("landscape") layout.
Result OK—EXCEPT there's a vertical BOX (gray outline) visible right up the middle of the piece, bisecting the 2 sides of it.I had Saved & Exported the item successfully; my PDFs don't show this box. Screen Mode is set to Preview, so there are NO visible guides of any sort in the InDes doc.
Is there any way to get rid of that weird box rule? a setting I need to change within InDesign?
Thanks!

Incopy crashes, when moving a placed image with the arrow keys
When in InCopy, and you want to move a placed image with the arrow keys it immediately crashes.
When the mouse is used, all works perfectly. but as soon you use the arrow keys, it crashes. this also occures when moving the imagebox.
Using Version 21.6 as well as 21.4.
MacOS: 26.6.2Thanks for resolving the crashes.

Itálicos, bolds, sublinhados que estão nos comentários do PDF não aparecem no InDesign quando os comentários são importados
Itálicos, bolds, sublinhados que estão nos comentários do PDF não aparecem no InDesign quando os comentários são importados. Isso dificulta a automação, fazendo com que tenhamos que acompanhar os ajustes com o PDF aberto na tela ao lado.

Problème d'affichage des images
Bonjour,
je rencontre un problème d'affichage de mes images dans Indesign malgré des liens valides, les images sont soit grisées, soit hachurées ou les deux dans le mode de travail et dans l'affichage.
J'ai beau les réimporter le problème réapparait à chaque ouverture du ficher.
Les liens sont bien présents dans mon panneau liens, dans mon dossier d'assemblage et il ne s'agit pas d'un problème de performance d'affichage.
Je précise que sur un autre ordinateur les images apparaissent correctement.
Merci pour votre aide1 vote -

Best free tool I've found for accurate translations lately
Been dealing with a lot of translation work recently and wanted to share something that's actually been really helpful. I tried a bunch of different tools before landing on https://www.deepl.com/uk/translator , the accuracy is honestly way better than most alternatives I've used, especially with context and tone. It's free to use for basic translations too. Anyone else here have tools they swear by for this kind of thing? Always curious what's working for other people.

Pathfinder issues
Pathfinder actions are not working in InDesign like they used to. If I subtract two shapes, it was sometimes adding in extra points rather than truly subtracting the shape.
And when I do get it to work properly, it is still one uneditable shape rather than multiple pieces that I can adjust, change color, etc. If I bring it into Illustrator, then I can ungroup the shapes and tweak individually as needed.1 vote -
InDesign freezing
My InDesign is constantly freezing and becoming unresponsive, making it impossible to work properly. The application frequently stops responding to commands, and I have to wait for it to recover or force it to close. This issue is happening repeatedly and is significantly affecting my workflow and productivity. I would like Adobe to investigate the cause of these crashes/freezes and provide a solution.

PDF conversion: why do paragraphs get put in separate text frames?
When opening a PDF to edit in InDesign, even a moderately complex document is unusable, because each separate block of text is placed in a separate text frame. Prose works OK, I think, though the frames aren't threaded, but poetry is completely unworkable. See screenshot for an example. Please increase the intelligence of the conversion so that it runs text that is obviously a single piece of text into a single text frame.

OGNI VOLTA CHE INSERISCO UN IMMAGINE SI BLOCCA
Buongiorno, riscontro un blocco totale (il programma non risponde o va in crash) ogni volta che provo a inserire un'immagine in InDesign tramite il comando 'Importa'.

Alt-text icon behaviour has changed for the worse
The annoying (T) icon that the relatively new alt-text system sticks all over the place, you used to be able to remove by setting the Object Export Options, Alt Text Source to "decorative". You now have to use 'Custom' with an empty field it seems? And if you're trying to remove it for mulitple objects, you first have to put something in the Custom field, save it, go back in and clear it for it to remove the icon. Seriously annoying!
Seems to be since v21.6 this new behaviour's taken hold.
Is this intended behaviour? Can we just not have…

Parent-page overrides get blown away when you sync a book
Fix this glaring defect, please. It's a huge liability, another problem making InDesign error-prone and professionally embarrassing for its users.
We have to go through dozens of chapters, page by page, any time we want to refine our styles across books because of bugs like this. Apparently this is a longstanding one that Adobe just hasn't bothered to fix.

Data Merge Em and En Dashes Import Incorrectly
When em or en dashes exist in CSV text, they import as incorrect characters instead of the correct characters. See images.

It’s still not possible to use a custom icon for a UXP panel. A generic icon is always used instead.

Alt-text issue: InDesign 21.6 is not recognizing metadata fields filled in on Photoshop files
Just with ID 21.6, this stopped working! I have gen AI turned off. I'm importing images from Photoshop. All the metadata is filled in: Author, Description, Keywords, Copyright, etc. Then I Export > Save for Web, all data except camera info. Then Place in InDesign. When I go to set the alt-text in Object Export Options and specify from XMP:Description, ID tells me there is no data there! I know it is there because I just typed it in! This literally worked just last week on this same file, now it's stopped working.
Expected result: that the alt-text I've already…
