Buenas, acabo de descargar creative cloud de escritorio, estoy probando InDesign versión 18.3, por 7 días, pero cuando quiero exportar en publish online me sale Error # 102. No se puede conectar con el servidor. Compruebe su conexión a internet.

Reflow 3.0 ePub export TOC (RSC-005) error/bug since last update 20.3.1
Hello,
I'm a professional book designer. Since last Friday's update, all eBooks are exporting with the entire TOC generating (RSC-005) errors--every link. I'm exporting 3.0. I reexported an older project which was good and it has same errors. This is a BUG. I had tech support access my computer, and he says it's not and that Adobe doesn't care about 3rd party verification. However, VENDORS do and have rejected the eBook. Can anyone help? My business is dead in the water until this is resolved.
Thank you, Christine

Blank screen and forgotten workspace settings
I cannot believe we are still dealing with blank screens upon returning to an open InDesign document and I CANNOT believe we are still having to reset our Workspace settings almost every time we boot the app. I'm using version 20.3.1 and NONE of these things have been fixed. This has been going on for over a year through countless updates. Worse, it causes the unbelievably annoying popups to keep happening. If ID remembered my workspace settings from one boot to another I wouldn't have to deal with this.
Stop with the high school level coding and fix these long…

InDesign stops at "Fetching Service Registry" on launch every time — only resolves when disabling fonts
Hello Adobe team,
I have been using InDesign regularly, but for the past year, I have been encountering a very annoying and recurring issue.
Every time I try to launch InDesign, it gets stuck on the screen saying "Fetching Service Registry" and never completes the startup process.After troubleshooting, I found out that temporarily disabling some OS fonts allows InDesign to launch properly.
However, this is extremely inconvenient as I have to do this every single time before starting my work.This issue is highly reproducible and happens almost every launch.
I would kindly request that the team look into…

Adobe InDesign 2024 hangs on startup. Blocking a few Adobe services works around the issue.
I have a fresh install of Adobe InDesign 2024 19.5.3.144 on Mac OS.
When launching InDesign 2024, it starts up, but then locks up after a few seconds with a spinning beach ball. I tried to let it sit for a long time, but it never recovers and I needed to force-quit. Resetting preferences does not help.
I experimented a bit and found that by adding the following entries to /etc/hosts I can block a few Adobe servers which then allows InDesign 2024 to launch normally and work properly.
127.0.0.1 p13n.adobe.io
127.0.0.1 crs.cr.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 lcs-cops.adobe.ioWith these entries in /etc/hosts,…

Crash of InDesign CC25 resetting the settings to default
Hi There,
I experienced several crashes the last days, that is one thing, but I had to make all the settings made in the Workspace, the shortcuts, the general settings again after each crash. this is so annoying.
Well I know you can export your usersettings, but it does not work properly as it seems, the scaling of the UI does not apply as exported.
It is frustating that such things make errors within a half year of CC25…System: macOS 15.4.1 (2020, M1-Chip)

palettes position in full screen
when in full screen mode, in my particular workspace (which I like, hence why I use it) certain fly out menus don't know that I am in this mode and try to fly up without considering that they are 'off the screen'. So I tend to temporarily change the view mode, do my edit, and then put things back to full screen. Is this a bug? Shouldn't anything the pops open or 'flies out' know where the edge of my screen is, especially in full screen mode?
I have attached a screenshot of this particular issue, when trying to adjust…

Bolding missed/changed while importing Word doc
I'm using ID 20.2 on Mac 15.4.1.
I am producing a book with an index that has bolding to indicate photos, but the bolding was missed or changed in a random manner when imported. It was accurate until it reached E, then there were about 200 errors that had to be manually fixed. Here were my steps:
• Imported file word doc with Preserve Styles checked
• Search/repace for bold and italic with bold and italics Character Style
This should have caught all bold and italics and changed them to my style sheet – but, as mentioned, many were missed,…

No me permite ver la previsualizacion al crear un nuevo lienzo.
Quiero crear un nuevo proyecto y al configurar tamaños, márgenes, etc, acepto ver la previsualización y no me la muestra.
Además, al terminar de crear la configuración del proyecto, me quedo esperando a que aparezca el lienzo para trabajar, y nunca aparece. No entiendo que pasa.1 vote -
change/find resets
When using change/find option, the behavior is typically that the search will cycle to the next instance of the found text, however, in 19.3 on a MAC running Ventura 13.7.2 (22H313), the search will find one instance, then grey out the change/find button and not continue to the next instance -- even though other instances of the text exist.

Can't open or place files from Windows Explorer
Updated to most recent version of InDesign (Beta) and Photoshop (Beta), and still can't open files by double-clicking in Windows Explorer. I also cannot drag-and-drop files from Explorer to either Adobe program. If I have a document open in InDesign, I can't drag-and-drop to place. The ONLY way I can open files in either InDesign or Photoshop is to use Open from the file menu. This is VERY annoying and time consuming.

Text box disappears when text converted to outlines
Many sign printers require that all text is converted to outlines. When I do, any text box that has a colour defined disappears. I need to duplicate the box first and delete the text in the underlying box, then convert the above text to outlines. A bit of an arduous process.
This shouldn't happen – it's been an issue for years.
Can you please change it so that converting text to outlines doesn't alter the graphics – that is, the coloured and/or stroked text box remains?
Thanks!

In InDesign 2020, we were able to disable this default setting successfully — the checkbox remained unchecked even after relaunching the app
In InDesign 2020, we were able to disable this default setting successfully — the checkbox remained unchecked even after relaunching the application.
However, in InDesign 2024, the checkbox automatically re-enables itself after each relaunch, even if we manually uncheck it.
We would like this checkbox to remain unchecked by default, even after restarting the software

Unter „Datei – Zuletzt verwendete Dateien öffnen“ fehlt die Funktion, dass man geöffnet gewesene Dateien aus der Vorschau löschen kann.
Unter „Datei – Zuletzt verwendete Dateien öffnen“ fehlt die Funktion, dass man
geöffnet gewesene Dateien aus der Vorschau löschen kann: und das
seit gefühlten einhundert Jahren. Im Ps kann man das unter dem Befehl namens
„Liste der letzten Dateien löschen“ tun, in Ai dann wieder nicht.Am besten wäre es, wenn man diese Vorschauen auch einzeln löschen könnte
und nicht immer nur alle gleichzeitig: Weil man manchmal etwas weg
haben will und anderes zum erneuten Öffnen in der Vorschau behalten möchte.1 vote -
