1. Find/Change saved queries lose numeric precision for indent values

   Version:
   Adobe InDesign 21.0.2
   macOS 26.2
   Issue also observed in much earlier versions (since CS5.5).
   Steps to reproduce:
   Create a document with paragraph units set to millimeters.
   Create a paragraph with a left indent of exactly 5 mm.
   Open Find/Change.
   In Find Text, set Left Indent to 5 mm by typing it manually.
   Run Find – the paragraph is found.
   Save this Find/Change query.
   Reload the saved query.
   Run Find again.
   Expected result:
   The saved query should find the same paragraphs as when the value is entered manually.
   Actual result:
   After reloading the saved query, the paragraph is not found.
   Additional details:
   Via the scripting API the difference can be observed.
   Manual entry via UI:
   app.findTextPreferences.leftIndent = 14.1732283464567
   After reloading saved query:
   app.findTextPreferences.leftIndent = 14.17322834
   The reduced numeric precision causes the query to fail.
   This appears to be a precision loss when persisting Find/Change query settings.
   The issue affects both UI and scripting workflows.
   Using paragraph or character styles does not prevent this issue, as it is related to how numeric values are stored and restored in saved queries.

   Version:
   Adobe InDesign 21.0.2

2. Adobe InDesign 20.5 - InDesignEPS Import: UnmatchedMark error.

   Has anyone found a fix for this error "EPS Import: UnmatchedMark error" when placing a vector into InDesign? This has been a feature between programs for as long as I can remember and it is really frustrating that so many comments tell you "not" to do this as it is bad practice. It is definitely part of my workflow and helps create smaller, cleaner files, and streamlined, accurate colour palettes.

3. [ID-4272075] Interactive PDF Buttons: Button bounding area expands after file conversion from older version to 21.0

   1. InDesign 2026 v21.0.1

   2. I've just verified and reproduced this interactive PDF button display bug by first confirming that several archived versions of the interactive PDF (created from archived InDesign Source files), all function perfectly and as expected. It is ONLY by opening one of those older, archived InDesign source file in the current 2026 v21.0.1 and exporting a new copy of that same Interactive PDF that the buttons all appear differently when clicked.

   3. The expected result is to have interactive buttons that look clean and functional when clicked.

   4. The actual result (only when exporting the Interactive PDF from the current version of InDesign, never before from previous versions), is that all the interactive buttons now show a black bounding box that surrounds and extends up above and beyond the boundaries of the buttons themselves. It's visual display bug specifically on buttons. This remains true even when the buttons DO NOT have any hover or click states assigned. It's a button element issue, not a visual state issue. (Although the Hover state has always been glitchy or "sticky" which is annoying, but not as bad as the black bounding box described here.

   5. Screenshot examples from the exported interactive PDF have been provided.

   Workaround:
   1. Export the test document to IDML and use the IDML to export to Interactive PDF
   2. Recreating the button entirely in InDesign 21.0 restores the correct clickable area. However, this is not ideal for users working with older templates containing many pre-existing buttons.

6. [ID-4270655] Align to Bleed issue

   The Align to Bleed function works incorrectly for certain bleed situations.
   If a facing-page document has an Inside bleed smaller than the other sides, (e.g Top: 1p6, Bottom: 1p6, Inside 0p, Outside 1p6) the Align to Bleed will left-align objects to this smaller bleed instead of the correct outer dimension. This does not seem to affect right-aligning.

8. Variable Fonts in inDesign show different hinting results when compared to other environments

   InDesign v20.3.1 x64, Windows 11

   It appears that inDesign is maybe not able to correctly variate CVT values, causing unexpected hinting results. It seems as though CVT values that are used depend on the variable font’s default style/source. A possible way to recreate the issue: Compare the same variable font built in the same way but with a different default source set for each. If Hair (weight: 100) is set as the default, then it will appear in inDesign as if the Regular (weight: 400) is maybe using the CVT values of the Hair. This is shown in the first screenshot. It is not possible to recreate this issue in another environment such as Chrome. You would expect the choice of default style to not have any effect on the hinting result.

   Also attached is a screenshot that looks at the difference between a static and variable version of a Windows font: Segoe UI. Although this example is less valuable as it does not show as stark of a visual difference as the first screenshot and the static and variable versions are not exact matches, it stands to show a difference in variable font hinting that I found difficult to recreate in other environments outside of inDesign, possibly alluding to inDesign doing something unique with how it handles hinting in variable fonts.

   The screenshot examples use 18pt size text.

9. leave User Workspaces ALONE

   Leave User Workspaces ALONE!! Updates should automatically grab the current workspaces and copy them in, STOP trying to shove three versions of "essentials" down our throats. Not all of us have admin access, so deleting after every update isnt an option. It also stops non-admin users from migrating manually. To say this is frustrating would be an understatement.

   "Essentials" is TRASH, but every **** update removes any custom ones I have (YES even if I choose migrate, it doesnt do anything so I stopped bothering) and force it into "Essentials". Just STOP. You DO NOT know our workspaces better than us. This shouldnt be difficult, but Adobe has been doing this for years, and now InDesign 2025 has THREE different Essentials? Thats missing the point entirely and then congratulating yourself for it.

11. Bizarre issue: footnote appearing in middle of text frame

    Never seen this one before! Changing some text to a style that uses split columns caused one of the footnotes in the text frame to jump to ABOVE the styled text. I can't even understand how this is possible given the logic of the software. See screenshot. I would like my footnotes to stay at the foot of the frame, please.

12. Subject: Why Did You Break the Zoom Tool in InDesign?

    Subject: Why Did You Break the Zoom Tool in InDesign?

    Dear Adobe Team,

    Can someone please explain why the Command + Space + drag-to-zoom behavior in InDesign was altered? This used to be a seamless, intuitive part of the workflow — one of those tiny things that made a big difference for power users.

    Now, depending on the version or OS, it either doesn’t work, lags, or flat-out refuses to cooperate unless I perform keyboard yoga. This is not an improvement. This is disruption disguised as innovation.

    I’m not asking for a new feature. I’m asking you to restore a basic function that worked perfectly well for decades. Was there truly a wave of users begging you to complicate the zoom tool?

    Please bring back the classic Command + Space + drag zoom behavior. Some of us have muscle memory older than your interns.

    Sincerely,

    Kim Fowler
    Longtime Adobe User & Disappointed Zoomer (the shortcut kind)

13. PDF Export Page Range Defaults to Previous Settings

    Adobe InDesign – PDF Export Page Range Defaults to Previous Settings

    When exporting a document to PDF in Adobe InDesign, the software retains the page range from the previous export session and uses it as the default setting for the next export. This behavior can lead to unintentional partial exports if the user forgets to manually reset the page range to "All" before exporting a new document or version.

    This issue disrupts workflow and increases the risk of delivering incomplete documents, particularly in environments with high output volume or multiple concurrent projects. It would be more efficient and user-friendly if InDesign automatically defaulted the page range to "All" for each new export operation, or at least provided an option in preferences to reset the range between exports.

    We request Adobe to consider implementing this feature in a future update to improve usability and prevent accidental export errors.

14. Hyperlinks to text anchors deleted when exporting to PDF and using Adobe World-Ready composers

    The Adobe World-Ready composers break hyperlinks to internal text anchors when the document is exported to PDF.

    Internal document links are composed of a source and a destination. The hyperlinks seem to get dropped when the destination is in a paragraph that uses one of the World-Ready composers.

    The hyperlinks appear to work correctly in the hyperlinks panel within InDesign. It's only once the file is exported to a PDF and opened in a program like Acrobat that this issue becomes apparent. When reviewing the output in Acrobat, the destination no longer appears to be present in the document at all.

    This does not seem to be a problem when Adobe Single-line Composer or Adobe Paragraph Composer are used, but this is not always a realistic solution.

    This is an issue in at least the last 2 major versions of InDesign (19.X and 20.X).

15. variable fonts

    In a TrueType based variable font, if some nodes have implied deltas at the edge of outline, that edge can jump around as seen in the attached video. The right stem of the "n" should stay on the baseline. And it does in all other environment that I tested (Illustrator, Photoshop, Chrome, Safari …).

    I tried to attach the font but get an error that .ttf and .zip files are not allowed. Here is a link to the file in dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/69ynar0ds0k44fhsuge2j/ImpliedDeltasVF.ttf?rlkey=zccl17cd67ru4oat5qlt2eb99&st=c469cifb&dl=0

16. Error message is seen while opening InDesign after Photoshop 26.5 update

    Problem Description

    After the PhotoShop 26.5 update this morning, when opening InDesign, I got an error popup regarding a missing startup script in PhotoShop. The same thing does not happen in other CC apps.

    Workaround 1:

    1. Uninstall Photoshop 26.5 (make sure to remove preferences).
    2. Reinstall Photoshop 26.5. This will install the correct “photoshop_v2025.jsx”.

    Workaround 2:

    1. Open jsx, which is available at "/Library/application support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CC/Adobe Photoshop/" mentioned in the alert in the Text Editor
    2. Add } in the last line

17. Constantly forgetting Workspace setting

    InDesign 20.1, as well as pretty much every version since 2019 continually forget my WorkSpace setting, so that when I boot ID, it randomly thinks I'm new, and so it loads the annoying popups and product tours and the almost ubiquitous blue alert at the bottom helping me with saving my settings.

    Fix this.

19. History panel logs issues

    The history panel does not allow some actions to be undone. One is the act of stepping back several steps. As long as no new actions are done, you can step forward again, but as soon as you complete a new action, the inbetween steps disappear. The undo/redo history is also cleared; only new actions completed after that point can be undone. This is a problem because is makes it impossible to test various options and then quickly return to the original option, as I have often done in the past. Instead, the desired option must be set up again from scratch. (tested in v. 20.1, but also caused issues in older versions)

    • Actions logged appear to update/condense/disappear when switching to and from the Type tool. For example, if I create a text frame, enter some text, and then apply a stroke, the “Create text frame” option is no longer visible in the history panel, nor can it be undone with undo. If I create a 2nd text frame, all the previous steps for the first text frame disappear. Because “open” remains as the first action, it appears as if no other new actions were completed, but this is entirely false. Losing the ability to undo one’s actions is a serious hindrance. Undo history should not be cleared until the document is closed. I have also noticed there is sometimes a significant lag when switching to and from the text tool, and I suspect it has something to do with this. (tested in v. 20.1, did not notice before)

    • Many actions logged are too vague to identify, especially when multiple instances of the same action occur. It would be ideal if, instead of “Typing,” one would see “Typing 123…” Link updates could include a right click option to jump to the affected link. Alternately, selecting a step could select the affected text or object, or a page number could be made visible in the panel. It would also be helpful to save a thumbnail at certain points. (in all versions I have used, current version is 20.1)

20. Unable to Move Objects

    After selecting and trying to move any object or text frame, the selected object will jump to the left and down from the cursor; making the usage of InDesign extremely difficult.
