3. Export PDF, cannot cancel background task

   Sometimes, there is no way to cancel a background pdf export task.

   No way to close the document either, only hard quitting works.

4. Variable Fonts don't display correct via PDF export

   I'm very excited to see variable fonts in InDesign, thank you!

   However, when using variable fonts in an InDesign document, exported PDFs show overlaps (as in the crossbar of /A), as well as inconsistent stem weights, spacing, and alignments in various glyphs. These issues occur in multiple variable fonts I've tested.

   If I use static fonts or convert fonts to outlines using Type > Create Outlines these issues don't show up. These issues are present when viewing PDFs in both Acrobat and Preview (see screenshots attached). These variable fonts work fine in web browsers and other applications that support variable fonts (FontView etc).

   Please fix this so that PDFs which contain live type show up the same as those where Type > Convert Outlines is used. Thank you.

5. Data Merge not populating fields CC2019

   I use Data Merge for variable data production every day. I am using IDCC2019 v14.0.1. iMac 27 inch late 2013. OS High Sierra 10.13.6. Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5. 16 GB memory.

   This problem started with IDCC2019. I link to .csv for data merge. When exporting to PDF, I choose a record range – for example 1-1000. In the PDF result, the first page is not the first record. It is a random record in the middle – for example, 319. It merges records 319-1000. Then the remaining pages of the 1000 page output are not populated – in the PDF, it will have only the placeholders, such as <<Name>> <<Address>>. This happens sporadically but frequently. I cannot say a similar problem never occurred with an earlier version of ID, but I do not remember ever having this precise problem before CC2019. To clarify – it successfully merges many of the records, but starts with a random record in the middle, not the first. Then the unpopulated records are at the end of the PDF output, and I am missing the records that should have been at the beginning. It is very strange. I cannot provide steps to reproduce the problem because it is a random ocurrence. For starters I would just like to know if anyone else has experienced this same problem. Thank you in advance.

6. anchor

   1) Version of Adobe InDesign: CC 2018 (latest release)

   2) Steps to reproduce the issues:
   i) Create a text box with type tool. Enter text.
   ii) Create a text field with "buttons and forms" or insert a picture.
   iii) Anchor text field (or picture) to the end of the text in the text box.
   iv) Drag text box into Articles panel.
   v) Ensure "Include Article" is selected.
   vi) Select "use for reading order in tagged PDF" in Articles panel menu.
   vii) Export to PDF (save as interactive is using the text field).

   3) Expected result:

   Text field (or picture) will be tagged (probably within the P tag)

   4) Actual result:

   Text field (or picture) is not tagged.

   The text field (or picture) only tags if they are not anchored and are placed individually in the articles panel.

   When exporting to tagged PDF without use of the Articles panel, the anchored picture will tag, but the anchored text field will not tag. The text field will only tag if it is not anchored.

8. Exporting Emojis to PDF

   I built a newsletter with the use of the new Apple Emoji "glyphs" in InDesign and when I went to export it as a PDF, it replaced my emojis with random images from my file.

   I talked with Adobe support and learned that only vector emojis can be used in PDFs which is a bit frustrating! Can we update the PDF export capability to include these new emoji features, so we can use the glyphs like I think that they were intended? I'd be a happy camper!! Thank you in advance!

9. form field tag export

   Current version - InDesign CC 2018

   Form field tags are not created when exporting an interactive .pdf with tags.

   To recreate:
   1. Create a form with form fields.
   2. Add everything to Articles pane in order from top to bottom per page.
   3. Export to interactive .pdf, make sure to elect to create tags and set tabbing order by structure.

   Expected result - when the file runs through the Accessibility checker in Acrobat Pro - it passes.

   Actual result - all form fields are missing tags and does not pass the accessibility checker.

   Everything worked great before I updated InDesign on Friday 10.20.18.

10. InDesign and Acrobat conflict

    I just installed InDesign 2020 15.0. When I try to export a file to PDF I get an error message saying that file is already open, which it is not. Closing Adobe Acrobat and reopening doesn't solve issue, only restarting InDesign does. Hugely inconvenient. I have not been prompted to upgrade Acrobat and I never had that problem with earlier InDesign versions.

11. endnote

    There appears to be a bug in the endnote linking when exported to PDF from InDesign. I'm running InDesign 13.0.1 x64 (Windows).

    When I export an InDesign document as a PDF, endnote linking (from the reference to the text and v.v.) is incorrect.

    Please see https://forums.adobe.com/message/10048963 for the full discussion. In short:

    Create a document with multiple sections (e.g. 1st section with 9 pages, 2nd section with 125 pages). Endnotes in second section will link nine pages too early (e.g., if you have an endnote on page 122, clicking on the endnote in the PDF will link to page 113.

12. Indesign cuts off effects on PDF Export

    InDesign cuts off effects on PDF Exports if they get too large. (Also to mention... menues look different fot Font or Object Effects... someone realigned one of them and forgot the others.)

    Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server: CC 2017.1 with Tablefix
    Steps to reproduce the issues: Create a new Document that's wide enough e.g. 5000mm (happend to us on a big Banner) – Write Text - Use Effect "Bevel" - Export to PDF and watch it fail.
    Expected result: A Text with the applied effect
    Actual result: The Effect gets cut off (we almost printed a job like this...)
    Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional): see Attachments

13. Alternate text added to graphic missing in exported PDF when using Articles panel.

    1.) Apply alternate text to graphic using Object > Object Export Options.

    2.) Anchor graphic into frame

    3.) Add containing text frame to Articles panel.

    4.) Export to PDF including tags

    The result is that the exported PDF file doesn't have the alternate text applied

    A bug that needs fixing:
    InDesign Version CC, I embedded an image, applied a shear, applied the bevel and emboss effect, when exporting to pdf, it flattens the sheared image and adds a weird bevel in the middle of the image. Screenshot 1 from InDesign, Screenshot 2 from resulting pdf. This needs to be corrected.
