1. InDesign opens documents in read only after upgrading to InDesign 2023(18.0)

   Indesign CC 2023 version 18.0 Files open as “Read Only”
   As soon as updated, some files have started to open “Read Only” (RO)
   My OS: Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19044 or 21H2
   PC Desktop
   I am working remotely through a VPN to a server IP address
   I have Indesign 2023 18.0 , and Indesign CS6 installed. I have not opened the CS6 in years. Also noted: My machine does not automatically uninstall the former version when it updates. I manually uninstalled Indesign 2022 after I started using the 2023. At first I thought the RO problem was a conflict, so that was the first thing I did.
   Older version files open up as “converted” ok
   I am able to do all writing on my remote server, I can “save as”, and export files, create folders, delete files, ect.
   If I copy a file that opens RO to my local desktop, I can then open it fine (read/write - RW). If I make changes to that file, save, and then copy it back to remote server, it will open as RO again.
   This does not seem to be happening to every file. I started working on 2 files yesterday, opened and made changes, saved, and closed both multiple times in the morning, then a couple hours later, they opened RO. Then another hour later, one of them opened ok -RW.
   I have a coworker that has the same PC OS Windows system version, and same Indesign version. We both access to the files through same VPN, he is just not in same location as me (about 20 miles away). However, his system automatically uninstalled older versions when it updates. He can open the same files that open RO for me, and they open fine, RW, for him.
   If I open a brand new blank file and I copy and paste all contents from a file that opened RO, then close the RO file and save my Untitled document over it, it will them open up ok when I go back immediately and open it. However, if I go back to open that file, say an hour later, It may or may not open up “Read Only” again.
   I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Indesign 2023, and checking to make sure updated. I have unplugged (reset) my modem.
   I cannot change my preferences for updates to uninstall older versions at this time as I have a graphics card issue with the latest version of Photoshop. I cannot go back to using Indesign 2022, as my cowerker has already been using 2023 for awhile and many files are converted.
   It seems to be intermittent, and almost like there is a problem with files not closing properly? Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

2. [ID-4236366]Scripts using BridgeTalk do not work on M1 Macs (regardless of CC version)

   ID version: InDesign CC 2021 (16.3.2)
   OS: macOS Big Sur 11.5.2
   Processor: Apple M1

   When I try to run a script that uses BridgeTalk and works with Photoshop, it does not work.
   Also, a simple script using BridgeTalk will not work as well.
   Those scripts do work in CC 2021 on Intel Mac and macOS Big Sur 11.5.2.

3. On Export - "Save As" name field not consistently highlighted by default

   1. 15.1.3 version
   2. Open InDesign, open file, click on a page, CMD E to export.
   3. Expect "SAVE AS" field highlighted to be able to change export name, as with previous versions.
   4. Sometimes nothing appears to be highlighted, taking hitting TAB several times to get to the "SAVE AS" field. However, sometimes it is highlighted - so this is not a consistant problem - as sometimes it does come up highlighted. It does seem that when I first open a file / export - that it is not highlighted, but after that, it does come up correctly highlighted.

   This is not a consistant problem, which is what makes it a problem. You never know if you can just type a new file name, or do you have to grab the mouse to get to the SAVE AS field, or try to TAB to the field, not really knowing how many times it takes to TAB over.

   Thank you!

6. [ID-4219708]export book to pdf slows the mouse respond

   Every time, when I export whole book into PDF file, my mouse starts to move with steps. Everything else is working more or less normally, but moving cursor is almost impossible.

   Cursors respond with huge lag - around 1 sec, and moves in steps, what makes impossible to use the mouse.

7. [ID-4219717]Colors are displayed differently between pages

   InDesign 13.0.1 on iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017) OS 10.13.3

   Open a CMYK document. Place an sRGB file on page 1. Place the same (or copy) on page 2.

   Expected: the colors on both pages look the same.

   Actual result: With color-proof switched off, the colors on page 1 show as if color-proof turned on while on page 2 the colors show correctly. See screenshots with the same files on 2 pages. I changed nothing I just moved the picture from one page to the other.
   With color-proof turned on all pages look like page 1.

9. Multiple variables in a TOC

   While having headlines with zwo or more variables in the document, the TOC will be horrible wrong - it looks like a variable-puzzle.

   This mistake destroys any dream of creating efficiently catalogues and users are forced to use any kind of dirty-trick or handle on very expensive way a "handmade-process".

   This Bug is known since CS5.x.
   So please: Repair this Bug - now!

12. CC2020: Alternate text for hyperlinks

    In CC2020 a new function for writing alternate text for links was introduced.
    Using this function and generating a PDF Leeds to wrong PDF notation. The alt text in PDF is presented by alt text, which is forbidden in the PDF world, where alt text only should be used for non text elements, e.g. pictures. By presenting only the alt text the accessibility is lost – this is against the goal to hav a better output!
    A correct output would lead to a content entry.

    Note: Alt text for links is under discussion, as such alt text is not present for all users (it would be read out loud, but you can't read it) – this is not about equal access.

    Thanks for fixing, this would be a good step for all people relying on accessible PDFs.

    Best, Klaas

13. [ID-4216065]Hyperlinks copy/pasted between files *appear* to break after source document is removed.

    Using CC2019 on a Mac running High Sierra

    Steps to reproduce:
    1) Create a document with a few hyperlinks in it.
    2) Whilst this document is open, open a 2nd document, and copy/paste the links from one document to the other.
    3) Save both and close.
    4) Trash source document

    Expected result: hyper links should work in Target document as expected.

    Actual result: hyperlinks all appear broken in document. Whilst an exported PDF appears to still work, ID reports all those links as broken.

    Other details:
    If you retrieve the source document from the trash, it the links in the target document suddenly start working again, meaning your not actually pasting the hyperlink, but theres some sort of link that exists between the source and target document.

    Saving target file as a new file, saving as idml, has no effect – those links are still tied to the source document.

    This in an absolute tragedy if you are working on large documents with lots of links, and needs fixing ASAP

14. Indesign performance issue : CC 2019 uses all the system memory on Mojave

    So basically i cant't use InDesign since updating to the new version. Even if it's idle without anything open, it starts to use up all the system memory in macOs Mojave.

    This is what happens:
    1. Open InDesign
    2. Doesn't matter if im working or it's just open
    3. After about 5 minutes, there's a system alert of Mojave saying, InDesign is using 550 GB of system memory and there's nothing left to work with.

    System:
    iMac Pro (macOS Mojave 10.14)
    3 GHz Intel Xeon W (10 cores)
    64 GB RAM
    Radeon Pro Vega 64

    It's a new iMac with a new system and it worked before with InDesign CC 2018 without having even seen this system alert. Since i need this software for my work, i installed 2018 to keep using it. But i can't figure out what's wrong with it.

    Since installing 15.1.2 on iMac 10.15.6 (and after restart) , I can't see my cursor (blinking) in the Find/change input field. I can type in some text though, but still no cursor visible

18. Tab indent of RTL Numbered List does not line up

    See two screenshots attached, both are using the exact same settings, (Default, just changed to Hebrew numbering)
    in InDesign 2019 (14.0.3) Everything is nicely aligned, vs in InDesign 2020 (15.0) it's jagged, and I'm not able to align it in any way (Tabs, Indenting, etc.).
    I'm using InDesign 2020 תומך עיברית, on Windows 10

19. [ID-4216893]Interactive PDF go to destination not working

    Using InDesign CC 2019 14.0.1

    I have a 24 page report designed for print, with an additional layer which when visible adds interactive buttons to the top left corner of each page so I can also export an interactive PDF. The buttons are:

    Go to previous page
    Go to next page
    Go to destination linking to the contents page

    The document also contains URL hyperlinks and the contents links to each section of the report using bookmarks, but is not set up as a TOC. I'm not using any functions under the SWF/EPUB only section.

    When exported as an interactive PDF the Next Page, Previous Page, contents bookmarks and URL hyperlinks all work as expected, but the contents button using Go to Destination appears to do nothing.

    I tried using a bookmark, hyperlink destination and text anchor and none worked in Go to Destination once exported. I also tried both On Release or Tap and On Click as the event with no success.

    I tried setting up a brand new document just with a button using Go to Destination linking to a bookmark on release or tap and this worked when exported. I moved the pages of the report across to the new document, it stopped working.

    I started again with a new document and Go to Destination button. Again worked on export. I added Next and Previous page buttons, stopped working.

    We have three other documents currently live in the studio which use Go to Destination buttons. One is working on export. Two are not working. Of those two, one includes Next and Previous buttons, one does not and only contains Go to Destination buttons. My file is an update of a file created in an older version of InDesign. The other three are brand new documents created in the latest version of InDesign.

    When we have had problems with interactive functions not exporting in the past, we have been able to save the files as IDMLs then export from there with success but this is also not working anymore . The work around we currently have is to edit the button within Acrobat itself, but this is tedious given the original buttons were all on the master page and should be an easy export.

    Screenshots attached of the action that is exporting with Go to Destination when opened in Acrobat. Also a screen shot of the button set up (file name redacted)

    To identify the cause of this issue, we 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 following: Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.

    We recommend you upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2025(v20.1.0.071) as it is more robust and contains a lot of bug fixes.

    We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.

20. Performance: Import documents / style apply

    my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016) is super slow when importing word documents, search and replace styles or adapting styles. Does it improve when changing to the Mojave system? Or is there a conflict with FontExplorer X Pro. Any suggestions are welcome. I'm suffering…
