Increase the size (thickness) of the ruler guides
Hi,
Give the possibility to increase the size (thickness) of the ruler guides (all the time / when hovering over the ruler guides or using a shortcuts). This would be present in the software preferences. It's not always easy to see them well. Thanks.
Bye.

freezing
I use InDesign 15.0.2 on Win 10 and it constantly freezes / crashes. Or on and off complains that certain Adobe fonts are missing. Opening and closing the file restores the fonts.
E.g. when I open my file and try to change a stroke color InDesign freezes.
InDesign is basically useless.Hope you can give me a solution to fix this.
3 votesTo identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received an email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.
We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding: Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.
We recommend you to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2021(v16.0.0.77) as it is more robust and contains a lot of bug fixes.
We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.

Problème fonction assemblage
Avec in Design 15.0.2, lors de l’assemblage d’un fichier : je n’arrive plus à avoir un dossier complet qui regroupe la mise en page , le dossiers de polices et les liens : les liens (images et logos) du fichier ne sont pas intégrés dans le dossier Link alors que tout est bien liés dans la mise en page (les images ne sont pas manquantes).
Le problème n'existe pas avec la version précédente.
Pouvez-vous m'aider ?

display artifact
Viewing this document, which is still in draft form, the bleed area contains a dark gray horizontal line across the top and a larger dark gray rectangle near the top of the right-hand side. There are no unseen objects in the design that could be causing this.

Adobe 2020 build 15.0.2 - loses installed fonts
When working with InDesign 2020, fonts that are installed on the system, go missing especially if I either export some pages as a PDF, or package the file. If I quit InDesign and restart, InDesign finds the fonts and I can work with the document until I do another PDF export or package the file.
I never had this problem with InDesign 2019 and earlier. It just started with InDesign 2020 and build 15.0.2.3 votes -
InDesign Script - find/replace - store in a variable what is in "find what", "find format"
Tested in InDesign, any from CC to CC2020.
I was needed a script which can store whatever is there in one or more variables the following:
- the format from "find format",
- the format from "change format".
The code below doesn't works if the paragraph (character) style is in a group style.var currFindPrefs = app.findGrepPreferences.properties;
var currChangePrefs = app.changeGrepPreferences.properties;
//do something
//reset preferences
app.findGrepPreferences.properties = currFindPrefs;
app.changeGrepPreferences.properties = currChangePrefs;
The variables can't store the style that are in group styles.
Only those that are outside of any group.Please see attached Image.
Thanks!3 votes -
In Design 15.0.2 freezes up and is extremely slow
It takes quite a while to do simple things like create a text box, move the boxes around, cutting and pasting, moving from the selection tool to the type tool, etc. It will even freeze up moving from page to page. It takes forever to get any work done. Please help!

Workspace not showing at startup (indesign 2020 v 15.0.2)
Issue with the workspace not loading or not showing at startup. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Today i tried opening photoshop first and then after that indesign opened correctly. Adobe claimed to have this issue resolved by version 14.0.3. That means either it has never been resolved or it returned in this version.

Indesign crashes after copying text
Indesign crashes immediately after copying text. It seems that this only happens with formatted text. If I separate the text box from the paragraph format, I can copy the text. But that is very time consuming and annoying. When I open Indesign again, it crashes immediately. And when I finally managed to open the file again and click on "Paragraph format" in the sidebar, Indesign freezes. The bug has occurred since the last 2-3 versions of Indesign and I hope that the bug will be fixed with every new one. Unfortunately, this did not happen.

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.

[15.0.2.323] Big problem with unrecognized user dictionaries
macOS 10.14.6 - multiple computers with us and with customers
We noticed today that extensive user dictionaries are recognized as such by the existing documents, but InDesign (current version) completely ignores them and thus incorrectly hyphens them.
In a special case, a very extensive user dictionary is linked as a symlink (alias) from the Dropbox into the corresponding Linguistics folder in Application Support / Adobe. So far, this worked wonderfully with all versions and has the advantage that adjustments are automatically distributed correctly via the Dropbox.
I tried the following:

Develop Publish Online for more than one "owner"
We use your Publish Online function for our white papers, published online on our web. We love a lot about the function BUT there is some important functions we struggle with:
- Only the owner of the PDF can edit in the published version. We have a team of designers and become dependent on one of them.
- The PDF is not responsive to other devices
- Statistics can only be viewed/monitored by the owner, often the designer not the functions that necessary needs this insights.
Would love if you can develop these functions futher so we can stay Adobe-based!
Thank you!

Source Sans Pro latest version's properties have changed
The latest version of Source Sans pro (version 3.006) appears to start lower down text frames than the previous version did which messes up months worth of existing projects. When I go to edit the copy, it all shifts down the text box by a few millimetres.
In the attached image you can see two of the same text boxes - one is correct, and one has shifted down due to the font updating.
I've spoken with InDesign support who said to log the issue here.
As a temporary fix I have downloaded version 2.040 of the font from Github…

Superscript numbering in number list
When superscript character style is applied to the number of a numbered list the size is set correctly but the baseline shift is not applied. I.E. you end up with a small number on the baseline.
