Alt text missing on hyperlinks after "Export as Interactive PDF"
I work primarily in InDesign and create accessible PDFs. During the design stage, I always add the alt text when creating hyperlinks or adding images, and export it as an interactive PDF.
As we know, after updating beyond InDesign version 16.1, the hyperlink alt text will not appear on the Link tag, but instead, it appears on the "Link - OBJR" (aka "Annotation") tag within the Link tag.
I work on long reports that usually have hundreds of hyperlinks and this is a big and very time-consuming problem for me, so I reverted back to v 16.1.
I've been ignoring…

Make editing text faster
When I want to, for example, remove all "m2" from "### m2" in table rows (20+ rows of table), I have to slow down my clicking, because InDesign doesn't register a selection change (double click to select), if I do it too fast. Woud be good if it was instantaneous like Word.
My process: 1. Double click to select m2. 2. Press backspace or delete. 3. Double click to select next m2. And so on.I know I could find-replace, but sometimes I don't want to set up a find and replace. And it just a little annoyance, which not…

Mark positioning (GPOS) went wrong for text on path
Khmer rendering has been working well on most of the Adobe products. InDesign is one of them, especially after the fix: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/36534535-khmer-script-justification-is-broken.
However, I've just noticed that there is another bug with GPOS for Khmer (or maybe other scripts), when the text is on a path.
InDesign Version: 17.1
Composer: World-ready

Text Replacement
When I have text selected, I click on the box with the Font name and type out the font that I want. Then click on the font weight preference, but it just reverts back to the original font, it does not actually apply the font that I am click on in the dropdown. The only way I can choose a new font is by using my arrow keys and then hitting enter for the selection. I have a stylus so I thought maybe it's just my pen not working, but this doesn't seem to be the case because it doesn't…

Alt text transposition issue with book files
I'm using a book file to organize a number of interactive forms.
When I export out the forms as interactive PDFs, the alt text that was designated in the "button and forms" panel for that form field sometimes gets switched out for alt text that is used in another form if the fields share the same name. This happens on export whether I use the"Export book to PDF" option in the book panel or I use the "File" option export (ctrl+E keyboard shortcut).
The alt text remains correct in the InDesign file and only gets switched out upon export.

Mixed usage Left-to-right and Right-to-left text in the same paragraph
Ms Word files can contain Right-To-Left and Left-To-Right text in the same paragraph. When copy/pasting the text into Indesign, only one of the 2 textdirections is displayed correctly.
Creating the text frame which uses the Right-to-Left text direction, and using the World Ready composer, the corresponding text is displayed well. Inline phrases in English, are displayed wrong. Changing the composer to regular Single line composer fixes the English phrases, but messes up the foreign language.
When using different paragraphs, each with the corresponding composer, all works well. When a combination is used in a single paragraph, it can't be…

indesign 16.0 - new bug - text-wrap with image not correct
If i place an image into a frame and set text-wrap on that frame, it works correct and text breaks fine. If however i set the same text-wrap on the image (double click image or select content) instead of the frame, it will not wrap the text at the correct width. See attached screenshot.
1 voteThe values that are shown in the Text Wrap panel & also the Frame Fitting Options dialog for Crop amounts relate to the inherent image size, not to the size it appears within InDesign – that is, they refer to the image as though it were placed at 100% scale. That means it’s based on the image resolution and the scaling at which it is placed.
To see how this works, when you place an image, just click on the document – it will come at its 100% scale. Now select the Image contents, open the Text Wrap panel, and input 30mm in one of the fields, the value will be correct. Now scale down the image contents to 50% of its size – now measure the text wrap – it will be roughly 15mm in size.Hope it helps.

lowercase u key not working in text frames
version 15.0.02
I am not able to type a regular "u" in text frames. I can copy and paste a lowercase u, I can Shift+U to make an uppercase U, but I cannot use caps lock to make an uppercase U.
When I do press the u key, the line reverts back to the Basic Paragraph formatting, but I'm not able to find any shortcut that refers to this.
I hope that is understandable.

Undo does not work properly on deleted text, it only deletes one character at a time instead of whole block of text
I am on a Mac and this is a problem with InDesign 2018.
If you backspace delete two or more characters from text, undo (Ctrl+Z) only restores one character at a time instead of the whole block that was deleted in that action.
Undo worked fine in previous versions of InDesign, and it works fine in Word and other apps.
I have tried deleting InDesign preferences and caches and even reinstalled it with import previous prefereces unchecked, but the problem remains, and I cannot find any solution. Can someone please help?

Reapply the master without losing information in text frames from the master
This is complicated to describe, so I'm going to use a not-so-great example. In PowerPoint you can put "placeholders" on the master pages. If you make a change to the position of the placeholder and update the slide everything moves into the correct position.
I'd like to be able to do something like that with text frames on the master in InDesign. The problem I'm having is that because I can't have two "primary text frames" on the master, I have to command-shift click to get the second text frame to be active. Once I do that, however, I can…
