InDesign CC 2019 14.0:

I have a 4 state multi-state object. Each state has a full-screen image with a text title and description which animates in (Fly-in from top) for each state upon load. Left/Right buttons control the interactivity.

However, when I add an animation to the text title/description in State-1 it causes the full-screen image to not load and the test/description text doesn't appear either. (Tested in Indesign in the EPUB Interactivity Preview panel and on iPad/iBooks)

When testing it in the EPUB Interactivity Preview panel and I go to State-2 using the buttons and then return to State-1 the image loads and the text animates as planned.

Why won't the animation show when State-1 first loads? I wanted to attach the InDesign test file to show the issue but it won't allow.

Thanks,

Hi,

Not sure where to go with this one but I have just upgraded to Adobe CC and noticed that I'm unable to 'Minimise' the window in InDesign and also noticed that it won't do it in Illustrator but Photoshop does minimise (ODD!)

All it will do is when you double click it fills to fit screen and then the opposite.

I have posted this onto the forum and others have mentioned that they are also experiencing this problem.

(I have turned on the 'Double -click a windows title bar to minimize' in the System Preferences)

Please could you help me out?

Spec: InDesign CC 13.0.1
MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra 10.12.2

Cheers

1) This bug occurred on InDesign cc2017 and CS6. 2) Follow these steps to replicate the bug: create a shape, let's say a circle, and then copy this circle and paste it in a separate layer directly over the top of the first. To better see the effects of the bug, make the fill of the top circle red, and the bottom blue. At this point, the bottom blue circle is completely hidden by the red circle above it. Now put a 4pt stroke with an outside alignment on the bottom blue circle. The blue circle is still hidden, and now it appears as if the red circle on top has a stroke. Before making any changes to the shapes, make sure the Dimensions Include Stroke Weight and Adjust Stroke Weight when Scaling are DESELECTED in the Transform panel options. Make sure both the Info palette and the Transform palette are visible so you can read the starting and ending measurements in both palettes. Using the selection tool, select BOTH circles together, and then pull on any corner to enlarge the two shapes together. 3) EXPECTED RESULT: the two shapes should scale together. They start with the equal measurements in both the Info and Transform palettes, and once scaled, the shapes and the measurements should still read as being equal (albeit larger) sizes. 4) THE ACTUAL RESULT: the two shapes are different sizes after scaling. Remember that Dimensions Include Stroke Weight was deselected, so the stroke shouldn’t have any effect on the shape size, and yet, the bottom shape is slightly bigger than the top. Not only is the blue circle now clearly visible and peeking out from beneath the red circle, but the Info and Transform palettes read TWO different sizes. The following are images that illustrate the bug:

Hi together,
to explain the issue:

Sometimes backling from endnote text to endnote reference number will not work.

To make it work at all I found the following minimum requirements for PDF export:

PDF Export (Print)

Compatibility: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)

[x] Create Tagged PDF

[x] Hyperlinks enabled

Even with that sometimes only linking from the endnote reference number to the endnote text will work, but not backlinking from the endnote number in the endnote text to the reference in the main text.

What I found:

If you want linking back from the endnote number at the start of the endnote text you have to be careful with formatting of that endnote number which in fact is a special character.

WHAT WORKED:

The endnote is using a paragraph style without any specialities. No overrides, no character styles applied:

RESULT: No issue with linking back and forth between endnote reference number and number in the endnote text.

Now I had the idea to format that special character, the number that starts the endnote text with a character style.

RESULT: Linking from the endnote reference number to the endnote text worked. BACKLINKING DID NOT WORK.

WHAT BROKE THE BACKLINKING:

[1] Character style applied through a GREP Style

[2] Character style applied directly as formatting

[3] Properties directly applied as overrides without a character style

WHAT FINALLY WORKED:

[4] Character style applied as nested style through the applied paragraph style:

Character style to 1 tabulator character

I did not test on to eliminate other factors.

Maybe one of the used properties are the real culprit?

What I defined in that character style and also tried to apply as character override was:

Character width and height: 70%

Baseline Offset: 2 Pt

Fill Color: "C=100 M=0 Y=0 K=0"

Extensions and scripts halting or crashing after installing CC2020, due to a missing type library.
Our customers report errors after updating to CC2020, and I got the same error when I tried. Our script make a halt at a DoScript call, with this error: 104705: Unable to load Adobe InDesign Type Library (Version 1.0)
After starting InDesign CC2020 "AS ADMINISTRATOR", a missing type library is obviously created: the message and error disappears after doing that once.
It was not enough for my user just to have administrator privileges on my computer and in the domain, I had to explicitly start InDesign as Administrator.
I found the answer here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/doscript-error-unable-to-load-adobe-indesign-type-library-version-1-0/m-p/11335921?page=1#M197052

This needs to be fixed in the Adobe installation package for CC2020. Otherwise many script end-user will have to call support and have someone to start InDesign as administrator for them (in case they are not allowed to do that themselves) – it's not obvious to an end user what to do at all when this error occurs.

I am trying to update a library item. It's a previously created library item that I've made changes to. There used to be a contextual menu item called "Update Library Item" but it's gone.

When resetting the prefences with Shift+Option+Command+Control at the start of InDesign or (for me) uninstalling and reinstalling a certain plugin, that menu item appears again.
One user found out this:
Renamed Adobe Indesign folder in ~/Library/Caches. That did the trick for me !!
For the ultimate test, I put back the "old" Adobe Indesign folder and the issue was back again.

Link to the old forum thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/update-library-item-missing/td-p/10193293?page=1

To me this is not an issue that should be fixed by the user in such a way.
That menu item shouldn't disappear in the first place. That's why I'm opening a bugreport.

Attached are Screenshots of the issue.

Since I update indesign to CC 2019 I can't print to booklet all of my .indd files which were overwrited in .indd version CC 2019 (and even the older versions can't be printed to booklet...).
I got the error message : "printing error : The Adobe Print engine has failed to output your data due to an unknow problem"

indesign 14.0.1

Here is the error log :

%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%

%%[ Error: invalidrestore; OffendingCommand: restore ]%%

Stack:

%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%

it seems that the log tells the problem is in the page 1 but when delete this page the problem persists with the other pages...
