1. Proportional Scaling Using Shift Button Not Working

   In the 2017.1 release of InDesign, the ability to hold Shift and scale objects proportionally seems to have disappeared. I know for me this is a major functionality problem that is increasing the time I have to spend on current projects. I've checked support forums and others are encountering this problem, but I haven't yet seen a solution.

   Hello All,

   Thank you for your patience all this while; we really appreciate your support!

   Our investigation suggests that one of common reasons for the problem is that certain software (mostly antivirus and other security applications) and browser extensions happen to enable “Secure Keyboard Entry” on Mac machines due to which some keys such as Shift key in this case do not perform the desired action in InDesign.

   For now I request you to follow the below provided KB doc for the quick workaround of the problem.
   https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/features-do-not-work-keyboard-keys-mac.html

   In the comments section many of the users have confirmed that disabling Webroot SecureAnywhere (a security app) has resolved the issue for them. Please note that, the problem may not be related to a particular software; there could be a different application or antivirus which might be causing the problem by enabling Secure Keyboard Entry on Mac.

   Share for Review is to quickly share a design that is still a work-in-progress with the Reviewer(s) for quick feedback. Since the review opens in a browser for the reviewer, it has to load quickly even on slow networks, that’s why the image quality has been kept low deliberately so that the page loads quickly without long wait times. Using high-res views will slow down the loading of pages in the browser considerably, marring the experience.

   Hope this helps.

   The proper way to use this feature has been explained. It works like this:

   The extra text frame (containing the Previous/Next Page Number) need not be linked to the text frame to which it refers. It just has to touch that text frame.

   The way this feature works is that you have a text frame that contains some text on a certain page. That text continues on a different page that is random. So, for example, in a magazine, you have an article that starts on page 11, and then it continues on page 80. In that case, you will create a separate text frame on page 11, make it touch the text frame that contains the article and put "Continued on Page . Similarly, on page 80, you will create a separate text frame and make it touch the article and put "Continued from Page .
   When you do that, on Page 11 you will see “Continued on Page 80” and on Page 80 you will see “Continued from Page 11”. And this remains dynamic in the sense that if you add or delete pages in the magazine, the Page Number in Continued on/Continued from changes automatically based on where the article continues on and where it is continued from.

   We hope now you’d understand why this feature is designed the way it is.

   Please use the feature as described above and let us know if it does not work for you.

6. Unequal inset values in an Object Style don't display in a text frame if corners are rounded

   If you use an object style with unequal inset spacing and apply it to a text frame, the unequal spacing is ignore and made uniform.

   Steps to recreate:
   1. Create an Object Style
   2. Go to 'Text Frame General Options' for that style
   3. Set unequal values for 'Inset Spacing'
   4. Go to 'Stroke & Corner Cptions'
   5. In 'Corner Options' set 'Rounded'
   6. Create a Text Frame
   7. Fill Text Frame with placeholder text
   8. Apply Object Style to Text Frame

   Result: unequal inset spacing is ignored.

   If you apply unequal inset spacing manually there are no problems — unless you apply a corner rounding greater than 6mm, at which point unequal spacing is ignored.

   I've attached an InDesign file which demonstrates all of this.

   As an addendum to this: object styles seem quite buggy generally. For example, if you set an initial paragraph style and select 'apply next' then later edit the paragraph style, the text frame doesn't always display the changes.

   If you use an object style with unequal inset spacing and apply it to a text frame, the unequal spacing is ignore and made uniform.

7. InDesign changing opacity for an unselected item

   I am trying to place a slightly opaque rectangle over an image but when I select to lower the opacity on the rectangle, the image (regardless if it's above or below) changes as well.

   What's more odd is when I select that photo after I do the action, the image says it is at 100%. The "change" has not been reflected. I have uploaded a 1-2-3 photo demo. Note the photo's slight change in transparency although set at 100%.

   This happens when the photo and rectangle are in separate layers, as well. The two items are not placed within each other. They are also not grouped.

   Just updated InDesign today as well -- running InDesign CC 2018.

   The magic of InDesign’s effects all happens via Adobe’s transparency technology, which allows us to blend colors and detail from different objects. In order for it to all work there has to be a consistent color space for InDesign to use when it blends colors. This is called the Transparency Blend Space and it’s really important that you understand it in order to get the most out of InDesign’s effects. When we use transparency effects, InDesign compares different objects and combines their colors and detail. In order for objects to be blended, they have to be in the same color space. So when you apply transparency, InDesign converts everything on a spread to the Transparency Blend Space, regardless of whether that object is actually involved in the effect. And it’s important to note that when we say things are converted, we don’t mean that InDesign alters your placed files; they are left completely alone. What we mean is that InDesign is using a different method for interpreting the colors in those files. It simulates as if you change the colors in those documents, just to give itself a reliable method for blending. It’s a totally nondestructive change. See the Transparency Blend Space and check if it is Document CMYK. So now if you apply any transparency on this spread, everything on the spread will be converted to the Document CMYK blend space. You can test this by selecting any object and going to the Effects panel and just changing the Opacity from 100% to 99% and you can see that all the colors shift. That’s really interesting because they’re not even touching. But just because they’re on the same spread, InDesign will convert them to the transparency blend space.

   Remember, everything on a spread is converted to the blend space that is selected under the Edit menu. Keep an eye out for color shifts when you apply effects and know what color spaces your document is using. Make sure they are appropriate for your final output. That way you won’t get any unexpected color changes at the end of your workflow.

   You can also watch the video : “Assign the Transparency Blend Space” by David Blatner and “Understanding Transparency Blend Space” by Mike Rankin (both on LinkedIn Learning) to learn how this feature works.

   Hope it helps.

   If you create an alias of a folder (located on a server) and drag it to the desktop, it works. For quick creation of aliases this way, press Option-Command while you drag the original item to the desktop.
   Note : Accessing items of an folder’s alias located on a server has not worked in previous releases of InDesign too.

10. "Rolloff" in Animationpanel not working in CC2017 / CC2018 / MAC / WINDOWS

    I am working on a diplom project right now, and faced a really annoying bug in InDesign. I want to create a rollover bar, wich slides up when I rollover / hover with my mouse over a certain object. I know without any kind of problems how I am able to create something like this, but my problem is, that the object simply wont return to its destination where it came from, when I rolloff it again, like going away with my mouse. It stays on its place once the animation has been completed, and when I hover over it again, the animations simply restarts. Hard to explain, easy to understand once you see it yourself.

    https://indd.adobe.com/view/351ae097-e63e-4518-93a7-f59e998fb9aa

    Try it yourself, hover over the 3 lines on the bottom, a bar should come up. Go away with mouse, it redoes the animation again, while it normaly should go down where it came from, when "Rolloff" in the Animationpanel is activated.

    Side-note: Exporting it with "Rolloff" deactivated does the exact same thing, so it seems like, that the tool "Rolloff" has no real function.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMRQCabgt_8&t=203s&list=PLVtJKzfqv-Gay5lahydRZgmIEreFijJl1&index=1

    In this YouTube tutorial, you can clearly see, someone achieving what I want in Adobe CS5, 7 years ago! A update for this section would also be great sometime, but it just seems like nothing has changed over the past 7 years.

    It doesnt matter if I try to succeed in this in CC17 / CC18 / Mac or Windows, both do not work.

    This is a tool that is so great to have, but it simply stops me from working correctly, because I am not able to use it. Please fix this as fast as possible. I am not doing all this for fun, I got a diplom project to complete, and just want to make it a little bit nicer by using things like the Animationpanel, instead of simple buttons only.

    Dictionary options in Preferences dialog is just for defining the chosen Language properties i.e. when you go to Preferences > Dictionary and select any language (say ‘German: Old Rules’) in Language dropdown, it does not signify that ‘German: Old Rules’ is applied or set as a language. It only signifies the User Dictionary that is used for that language, giving you the option to add more custom dictionaries. Also any changes that you make in Hyphenation, Spelling, Double Quotes and Single Quotes section in Preferences > Dictionary would pertain to that Language only. To use those settings you have to manually apply the Language from Control panel/Character panel or from Paragraph/Character Style to the text.

    You can verify this by following steps:

    Go to Preferences > Dictionary and select ‘German: Old Rules’, etc. in Language dropdown.
    Change Spelling or Hyphenation setting and click OK.
    Now create a text frame. The language for that text frame would not be ‘German: Old Rules’.

    Copying an object in InDesign by holding down the alt-key and moving the object with the mouse doesn't work any more with InDesign CC18 under MacOS High Sierra. For me this is (has been ..) a key function in InDesign!

    As confirmed by the user on email, the issue is no longer reproducible.

15. Share for Review

    Share for Review does not seem to be working even after another update.

    I sent an invitation by "Invite Only". My client received an email with a link and the only 2 options available for my client are "Sign in with an Adobe ID" – 99% of my clients will not HAVE or NEED an Adobe ID.

    The second option is "Enter a password if one has been shared with you." Unfortunately, I was not given the option to set up a password. However, when posting publicly I could.

    And lastly, when I update the file (link), there was no notification email sent to inform my client that the file had been modified, yet I am getting email notifications. Maybe that's because I have an Adobe ID.

    I tried creating a new test but it look as though all the comments go away if one chooses that route. But if I have to go that route, honestly, I'd rather just keep emailing clients.

    @Adobe, right now, all the potential is there for something great. However, this is an epic fail in my eyes. And mostly, I'm really getting tired of feeling like I'm a beta tester.

    @Adobe: One last thing, when you fix this, as I am sure you will. MAKE IT THE SAME ACROSS ALL OF YOUR PRODUCTS FOR CONSISTANCY. Please.

    If client does not have Adobe ID and does not want to create one (it’s free to create), then instead of choosing to send an ‘Invite Only’ Share for Review link, designer should send a ‘Public’ link to the reviewers.

16. InDesign 2020: crashing, undo doesn't work, missing fonts, text wrap is broken, so many bugs

    The Undo bug is back. I tried to undo some text (in a table) and it reverted the document back to the previous save and then crashed.

    On re-opening, ID complains that it can't find my installed fonts that I used in the document. They show up in the document, it just complains that they are not there. These are fonts that I bought and installed, so I know they are available.

    I have also been having problems with text wrap not working half the time. I set a box (I've tried both image and text boxes) to text wrap and nothing will happen. Text still flows under the box. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it suddenly starts working on things that wouldn't text wrap the day before, so there is no way to try to repeat the bug to figure out the trigger.

    Also, the mechanism to convert a 2020 document back to 2019 so I can actually get things done with working software doesn't work, go fig. It crashed when I tried to use it.

    In your example, the paragraph ‘Introduction: My Life…’ and ‘Update’ use the same Paragraph Style and the setting ‘Space Between Paragraphs Using Same Style’ is set to 0p0. That’s why the Space After setting of 1p4 is having no effect.
    To make it to work, change the ‘Space Between…’ back to its default setting of ‘Ignore’.
    Hope this helps.

19. Can't use num. keypad for shortkeys

    Hi, I'm using InDesign v 13.1 x64 (up to date) on my laptop (Windows 10).
    On Photoshop and Illustrator, I've no issue with shortkeys but on InDesign, I can't do "CTRL+0" for example. When I try to edit shortkeys, the software doesn't recognize my input, as if I wasn't pressing "0".
    Thanks for fixing it. :)

    In InDesign, the numeric keypad is only meant to assign shortcuts to Styles – Paragraph, Character, Object, Table.

    For assigning shortcuts to other Application’s commands, you’ll have to use the other shortcuts – for e.g., to use Cmd+1 to bring image to 100%, you will have to press Cmd and the ‘1’ key that is above the letter keys (on English keyboard, 1 is above letter Q).

    Hope it helps to clarify how shortcuts work in InDesign.

    It has been implemented this way as per Accessibility Requirements.

    According to Accessibility Requirements, Alt Text should be placed under the /K Array in the Dictionary – please see attachment for more information.
