  2. conditional text leaves a bullet with blank line when using a bullet list

    Indesign v16

    We use conditional text and have noticed that using bullets with this would leave a lone bullet when swtiching the conditional text off. There's a work around to and a line break and switch the bullets off which allows the condition to work as expected.

    Would expect bullets to work with conditional text without the need for an extra line, this is flagging as overset text in some cases as well.

    To reproduce the issue:

    Set a few lines of text to bullet style
    apply conditional text to the lines
    Switch view of conditional text off
    You're left…

  3. copy

    Holding down "option" on the keyboard and then dragging a graphic or text box to copy and paste where you'd like it to go no longer works. The cursor changes as if it's going to copy/paste, however, it will just drag the original graphic/text box without copying it. I have to physically hit cmd + c and cmd + v and then it will paste wherever it wants to go in the document to get something to copy and paste. This is really frustrating when trying to design documents with a lot of the same elements in different formats. This…

  5. Indesign 16.1 keeps crashing

    Hi,

    My Indesign keeps crashing when I paste or modify the text (both inside Indesign or imported from Word) beyond very simple modifications: if I replace one word it still works, but it crashes when I replace a paragraph or a text box.

    It became impossible to work on Indesign and I really need to get my work done. Help!

    I'm working on a macbook pro (mid-2012, non-retina) + macOS Catalina (10.15.7).

    I also sent the crash report (I also saved it as a text file if needed).

  6. Mouse does not move/work on pc not possible when rendering a PDF

    It would be great if I could keep working on the PC and InDesign keeps rendering the PDF. But this is not possible because the mouse can not moved as soon as inDesign saves a book as PDF.
    I sit in front of the PC for almost 5 minutes and can't do anything else on the PC.
    Fixt this now finally!!!

  7. Effects affecting all elements instead of the selected

    Recently I've noticed that whenever I try to add an effect, it affects ALL elements as opposed to just the selected object.

    The first time I noticed, I thought it would go away when I restart the computer but it's still happening! In the screenshot below, the top left was indeed the only one that got the dropshadow treatment but as soon as I hit that add dropshadow button, all the box changed their colors (see the purple and blue box)

    Tried Googling for a solution but couldn't find any. Anybody experienced(ing) the same thing? How did you fix it?

  9. Indesign 2021 'preflight in all documents' causes the application to freeze (not responding)

    preflight for all documents turned on causes the application Indesign 2021 to freeze, (not responding) each time it runs an automatic preflight, then 5 minutes later it finishes and the document unfreezes.
    Turning off the "Preflight in all documents fixes the problem

  10. 复合字体(fuheziti) in CHINESE INDESIGN CC 2020 & 2021

    First reported in case : ADB-18557554-K6D2

    Any one of these action will definitely CRASH InDesign:
    1. Try to create a character style using a predefined fuheziti
    2. In default mode (no page opened), try to import character/paragraph/object styles that uses fuheziti from a page.

  11. Hairlines/artifacts randomly appearing on screen

    1) InDesign 16.1 (and othre versions)

    2) Place an image or object. Apply a drop shadow. Pan/scroll, zoom, enable or dissable output preview

    3) Consistent rendering.

    4) Glitches of bands of light or dark pixels may appear over images, in transparencies and effects. These may come and go depending on resolution preview mode, zoom and/or if overprint preview is rendered. (The lines are similar to tiling lines in PDFx1a in that they are rendering glitches presumably caused by floating point calculations)

    See the thread "community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/lines-appearing-in-effects-shadow-amp-gradient/m-p/11912229#M419035"

  14. EXPORTATION JPEG - GESTION DES COULEURS

    • L'exportation jpeg ne tient pas compte des pseudonymes du gestionnaire d'encre.
    • Le résultat de l'exportation jpeg ne tient pas compte non plus du type d'encre utilisée (transparente ou opaque). Le premier point à été résolu par un script, merci de l'inclure dans les fonctionnalités d'Indesign. Le deuxième point n'a pas pu être corrigé, merci de faire le correctif.

  18. PNG Export Quality

    There is a huge difference in the rendering quality of JPEGs vs PNGs in InDesign.

    See attached document that demonstrates the difference between the two formats, exported from the same InDesign document, using maximum quality, 72 DPI with anti-aliasing turned on.

    The obvious differences are the moiré in the white top and the edges of the legs in the girl at the bottom, including the fine detail in the stitching.

    It would be great if the PNG export engine could be improved.

  20. InDesign v 16.1, Mac OS 11.2.3 on M1 laptop. Adobe Typekit does not consistently load fonts into InDesign.

    Please check the Typekit usage and activation in InDesign. This is a huge problem that is slowing me down. I am trying to load Freight Neo Pro and it is missing intermittently from my files. Other fonts from Typekit have also done the same thing. I also use Suitcase Fusion to manage my own installed Fonts.
