Publish Online documents have become very slow to load
Since the dashboard update, analytics 'since published' will NOT load.
We're also noticing publish online documents are very slow to load initially.
I'm presuming this is all server side issues at Adobe and would like to know if its being fixed.
Are you forcing browsers to cache online publications before loading?
These are both major issues that might force us to see alternative solutions if not fixed soon.

Indesign GPU enablement on Windows
InDesign 17.4 x64
It would be nice and desirable if there was also GPU support in Indesign and Windows 11 Pro like Photoshop and Illustrator.

consecutive Footnote numbering across book file with multiple sections
Currently InDesign can't have consecutive numbering across it's footnotes if you have a publication made up of a number of book files.
It always restarts at one.
That's hopeless if you're doing an annual report where you need consecutive numbering across the entire book.2 votes -
bug: stroke and fill not showing / error
Fill and stroke is not showing when I create a shape / use a template that already has a shape in it.
Additionally, images held in frames with those effects don't show correctly - when opening a file the placeholder frame which has an image in it will then show with a. white fill over the image, and no stroke effect.
However, when you export as a .pdf all the file looks fine.2 votes -
disappearing text paragraph style
I am using InDesign 17.4 under macOS 12.6 on an iMac Retina 5K, 27", 2017 with a 3.4 GHz i5, 32GB RAM, and a Radeon Pro 570.
When I attempt to create a new paragraph style with an active text selection and check 'Apply Style to Selection', any change I make to the new paragraph style, including simply naming the style, renders the text invisible.
The expected result, of course, would be to have visible text.
The actual result is invisible text.
Relaunching ID, restarting the computer, and rebuilding the preferences file all had no effect. The only workaround I…

BUG/FEATURE: No SEARCH feature for indd.adobe.com documents!
Details: I'm viewing a wine list for the restaurant Cafe Juanita in Kirkland, WA (URL below). Your indd.adobe.com viewer does NOT have a search feature. Which would be super useful on this 28 page wine list! In addition, there is no download button, so I cannot download the PDF and search it locally.https://indd.adobe.com/view/cc7d0fe7-32b2-427b-b6a8-7820ff9bf01f

Error converting when linking Excel data with a formula returning a blank cell (i.e. "")
InDesign Version: 17.4 x64
When importing data from an Excel document, an error message is received on InDesign whenever the data includes a formula which returns a blank cell (i.e. using IF formula and returning "").
Expected result: All data from range is imported, regardless of whether cells are blank or not.
Actual result: Error message reading: "Cannot convert document. An unknown error occurred during the conversion."
Unable to upload jpeg or GIF (not supported, apparently)!

InDesign crashes after making changes to the document after exporting to pdf
InDesign exports to PDF fine. But after looking the pdf over, I usually want to make changes. Making any more than about five changes to an InDesign document after exporting it to PDF will make InDesign crash, regardless of what those changes are. It's happening on every single document since the latest update.

Crash on Importing Large Word File
InDesign v17.4
macOS 12.6 Monterey
Mac Studio (2022)InDesign is crashing on importing a large (859-page) Word .docx file. The document begins to import for a couple of seconds but then InDesign crashes and there is a 'may be damaged' warning on reopening the file.
Attempts were made to import into a completely new document and multiple variations of import settings have been tried, as has resaving, duplicating and deleting comments and saving the Word file. Smart Text Reflow has also been turned off but this hasn't helped.

Table of Contents Entry Character Styles
Table of contents entries (subheading styles in chapters) has a character style applied to it. When I generate TOC, the character styles and anchor markers if any also shows up in generated Table Of Contents. There should be an option to bypass the anchor markers and Character styles. Instead there should be an option given to add a new char style to the TOC entries, like there is for page no and between entry and page no.
In attached file the underline is getting generated everytime I update the TOC. I have to manually remove the underline. Neither GREP style…2 votes -
Pages navigation jumping two pages at a time
I've got a strange bug on a 100 single pages document. Sometimes (twice this week) when I'm using the shortcut Fn-option-up/down arrow to jump to the next page, inDesign will jump 2 pages at a time.
It will behave like this until I double click on a page in the pages panel.
Weird and annoying, but not sure I can reproduce.

InDesign Application Frame cannot be moved between desktops on macOS Monterey, via Mission Control
The InDesign application frame cannot be moved between desktops on macOS Monterey via dragging the top edge of the window to the top of Mac desktop and then selecting a different desktop to drop it into in Mission Control. This is contrary to behavior in other programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. InDesign can be moved to a different desktop by dragging it to the left or right edge of the screen but it is preferable to have the functionality using the top of edge of the current desktop so the desired window can be chosen. I am…

Adobe Indesign server doesn't indicate license issues
An Indesign Server setup was no longer running properly. The soap client could no longer connect to the instances.
However, the Windows Indesign server service was running. There were no errors in the Windows event viewer. Rebooting the service and server had no effect.
Upon manual startup, errors were displayed stating that the license could not be verified. After opening Internet access, everything worked fine again.
THIS SHOULD BE FIXED:
- The Windows event viewer should show license errors
- The Indesign server service should not be running if there are license issues. It should shutdown again. Why is the…2 votes
