ID File Finder windows always revert back to minimal size after each use
All windows in the File menu that access the Finder (Save As, Export, Place, etc) always revert back to their minimal size after using them once instead of keeping last used size. Always need to resize the window to see more items in my destination folder.

InDesign stalls with with new MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
InDesign is stalling (pausing for up to 30 second) regularly on my new MacBook Air with the Silicon M1 chip. I know it is an Intel Based program but I don't think the emulator is working. Shouldn't Rosetta 2 download automatically when I use InDesign? I presume you (the good folks at Adobe) are working to make it native to the new chip. Happy Holidays. Seth

Converting footnotes to endnotes removes inline styling
InDesign 16.0.1
macOS 10.14.6Currently if using the 'Convert Footnotes and Endnotes' function, any inline styling of the text contained within the footnote is being removed. Eg text which is formatted as italic is being converted into non-italic etc.
Fortunately this doesn't appear to affect any character styles which have been applied, but it still creates a very high risk of losing formatting.
Ideally conversion from footnotes/endnotes should not alter the content.

Save Windows on Mac OS
NOTE: This is a problem not just on InDesign, but also on Illustrator and Photoshop as well.
Ever since the last upgrade for macOS Big Sur (ver 11.1), save, package and export windows have a serious issue. They don't show the pathways of the files even when you have it set to do so. Instead all you see is the options for what to include or any other information at the bottom of the window (see the attached screen shot).
Even when you enlarge the window to be able to see the paths, it does not retain the memory that…

Cannot Export in PDF format
Adobe InDesign version: 16.0.1 x64
Platform: Windows 10, Version 20H2 (build SO 19042.685)
Problem:
Suddenly, from a couple of days, I cannot export in PDF format anymore.
When trying to export a file, I receive the message "Failed to Export PDF" (or something similar, I use the Italian version) – see image 1.It doesn’t matter the settings in the export window, I tried almost all the combinations, but the PDF generation fails.
I can export in.jpeg, for example, but it is not useful for me.Infos:
The same file has been successfully exported just a couple of hours before.…3 votes -

Images Blurry when PDFing from Book
I'm working with catalog documents in an .indb file and when PDFing from the book, without any other files open, all of the images come out looking like they are unlinked.
Images are all high resolution and linked in their individual files
I am using press quality/X1A presets with no compression set
Preflight shows no errorsThe only way to get clear images is to have every single INDD from the book open and THEN make the PDF, which, to me, defeats the purpose of the book functionality.
I don't remember this being an issue in earlier versions but i…

Choose Anchor point when changing Document size
When changing the Document Size, Id always crops/adds equal parts on all sides. It would be nice to choose whether to crop to center or from a specific corner or side (see the Photoshop Legacy Crop interface)

Unwanted dark lines generated around PNG files on export
Adobe Indesign 2021
When I export designs using an imported PNG graphic, the finished PDF shows an unwanted dark line around the crop area of the PDF.
This doesn't seem to happen with jpegs or ai files.3 votes -

Hello, I am using online document sharing to retrieve comments directly into inDesign. Unfortunately, the name of the correctors are display
Hello,
I am using online document sharing to retrieve comments directly into inDesign.
Unfortunately, the name of the correctors are displayed but their comments are invisible (text crossed out, underlined or added text).
A small blue wheel spins next to the filters icon.
Moreover, since this document sharing online, InDesign crashes every open.
Thanks for your help3 votes -
Pages Pallet - page numbers under thumbnails hidden under last row of a small pallet
- InDesign 15.1.3
- Create a document where the Pages Pallet is smaller than the thumbnails in the pallet.
- Expected to see page numbers under the Thumbnails on the last row.
- Actual Result: The last row shows the thumbnail, but the page numbers are hidden, but only in the WORKSPACE views of: Advanced Book Essentials Essentials Classic …and my custom one (probably based on one of those above.)
The page numbers appear to work correctly in the other WORKSPACE layouts.
Attached are a couple images with the page numbers hidden, and one where it is displayed correctly (The correct one is using…

Ruler with "pixel dirt"
I've noticed this "pixel dirt" at the base of the upper ruler. Sometimes, it shows up, I quit and it's gone to later show up again, "out of the blue".

Shift and Alt keys not working.
This seems to happen randomly, but while working on an InDesign doc these keys will stop working and the only fix is to restart my entire laptop. This doesn't really fix anything though because the issue can happen again within minutes of starting back up.
I use shift and alt a lot to align assets on my pages as well as duplicate certain assets. Among a bunch of other things.
This happens across all version I use (2019, 2020 and 2021)

Export to ePub / html removes single characters from class names randomly
On export to ePub and / or html (on Windows 10 64-bit), single characters are removed from class names. This appears to happen randomly (as shown below), but consistently (the same tags will have the same errors after closing and opening the document, after quitting and restarting InDesign, after restarting the computer, and whether exported as ePub or html).
– span class="Colour" becomes span class="Colo r" (set on character style)
– h4 class="Event-Month" becomes h4 class="E ent-Month" (though h4 class="Event-Date" is OK) (both set on paragraph style)
– span class="Link" becomes span class="Lin" (set on character style)These same errors…

Smart guides
Snap to grid and smart guides or any function where cursor automatically snaps to edge, corner, or center point is not working. I am currently using version 16.0. I have restarted the program 5 times. All of these features are check marked and turned on despite the features not working at all.
I will not work on my project because of this issue. I need to rely on the precise support of smart guides and snap to guides in order to do what I have to do. I'm very disappointed with this bug and upset I'm set back so much…
