1. Saved PDF export profiles change their settings without warning

   I have saved pdf profiles that arbitrarily change some of their settings without warning. Specifically, the profile inclusion policy changes from "include all RGB and tagged source profiles" to "include all profiles", and marks change from only crops and bleeds being checked, to also include page information. I go back and edit the profile to fix them back the way I need them, then some time down the road they change again. This happens on all of our workstations, and has been happening for years. If we don't catch it when these arbitrarily change, it can cause major color and imposition issues.

   Indesign 14.01 and all earlier versions
   Need to export files of various color makeups, profiles, etc. to eventually get it to happen. It may happen several times in one day, or not for weeks. VERY arbitrary.

3. PDF export name

   Since the latest updated InDesign doesn't remember the the export name, it just reverts back to the indd's file name. It was super useful when using version numbers.

   For example, when exporting from "file.indd" a "file-print (5).pdf", it remembered that name. Now it just goes back to "file.pdf" each time.

   Using 14.0.2 x64 on Windows 10.

4. Generic check mark reappears in PDF check box after exporting to Acrobat Pro

   InDesign 14.0.2 and Acrobat Continuous 2019.10.20099

   This issue is about the behavior and appearance of interactive check boxes in documents that have been exported to Interactive PDFs.

   There is a difference in the way that check boxes created in InDesign behave and appear versus those created in Acrobat Pro. The Acrobat Pro Forms preferences are involved in this difference.

   When, in Acrobat Pro Forms Preferences, under Highlight Color, the “Show border hover color for fields” option is selected, check boxes created in InDesign behave and appear in the following manner.

   When a check box is made active, it first appears the same as the check box that was created in InDesign. When you tab to or select another check box, or when you save the selection in the PDF, the appearance of the check box reverts to a default generic check mark.

   When, in Acrobat Pro Forms Preferences, under Highlight Color, the “Show border hover color for fields” option is not selected, check boxes created in InDesign behave and appear in the following manner.

   When a check box is made active, it first appears the same as the check box that was created in InDesign and remains as such.

   This degrades the purpose of using the highlighted fields, which is to call attention to fields that need to be filled.

   When the check boxes are created in Acrobat, it makes no difference in appearance or behavior if the “Show border hover color for fields” is selected or not. They always appear as the checkbox style you have chosen to use. They do not revert to a generic check mark.

   This is the way that custom check boxes created in InDesign should behave. Thus, they would allow the use of a highlighted field without the appearance of the “selected” custom graphic changing to an unwanted generic graphic.

7. PDF-export: Small images (icons) seem corrupt on right side when compression is on

   Indesign: 14.0.2. x64
   Acrobat: 2019.010.20100

   Win 10 pro x64, 1809 up to date

   So small images look strange and you can see they appear corrupt on the right side. In the last 15 years I have never experienced an issue like this so I would like to know if this is an ordinary behaviour which I ran into by chance or bad luck.

   The used image is a scaled down image of a rather small photoshop-file.

   At first I thought my guides might cut the images, but they don´t. I worked on the .PSD file, I increased the size of the image containers/frames, which took me over an hour of wasted time and thus: money - before I realized the PDF-export might be the problem.
   A regular day of work with Adobe apps I guess. grml.

   But: it might be a regular behaviour caused by the combination of file and the way the recompression works.

   Image bug1 shows what it looks like in the indesign doc, as u can see with enlarged outer frame box.
   Image bug2 shows what it looks like after PDF export. You can see it is not right when printed too, so it is not a bug of representation.
   Image bug3 shows the PDF settings I use since I can think of for print files.

   Sorry I can´t show larger images as I am not allowed to show content by contract.

   Unfortunately I have no time to try multiple scenarios or (compression) settings so in this case we just deal with a bigger file size.

   Thanks for your time and maybe feedback!

9. InDesign Export PDF - Misisng font style (i.e., italic, bold, tiny text changed)

   Dear InDesign Folks,

   We've found some font style attribute changed in PDF file, another one issue is Ligature text missed out at PDF file.

   Application: InDesign CC 2015.0 Version 11.0.
   Windows: 7 & 10 Pro

   Steps & Process:
   1. We are generating 2 set of PDF with different Job-options.

   1. PAP Layer enabled PDF (i.e., particular layer enabled and creating the PDF, it's contains Images and Text like water mark).

   2. PRINT Layer disabled PDF (i.e., disabled the layer which we enabled in step 2).

   3. Using JavaScript generating 2 sets of PDF at a time.

   4. PRINT, disabled layer and generating PDF with particular InDesign Export Job-options.

   5. PAP, enabled layer and generating PDF with particular InDesign Export Job-options.

   PAP PDF file showing the font style in automatically changed in (Bold or Italic and Size looks tiny).

   PRINT PDF file we didn't face any issues.

   Can anyone suggest how to sort out this issue in forthcoming days.

   Ligature text missing we faced first time this issue, I searched the bug forum, it's already shared the issue.

   Here, I attached the snapshot for your perusal.

   Thanks for your Kind Support!!!

   Regards,
   Sundar

11. pdf

    Since the last update Indesign export to pdf in all resolutions don't compact the files down. They are huge. Everything up to the last update pdfs even if high resolution would size way down. Now it is almost like it doesn't do anything. Need this fixed. It is almost like the coders for Illustrator went over to Indesign to put in their bad pdf export routine. Illustrator has never compacted pdfs well ever!. I demand that the pdf export get fixed pronto and put back the way it was. Sending pdfs by email is now useless. I shouldn't have to put up two page documents into dropbox because I can't email them. The last file I compacted was a two page document with one two pictures and it made the file even with medium resolution size 25mb, and smallest file size 8mb. This file before the last update would have been 800kb. I don't know why you keep mucking about with things that work and introduce things that don't.

12. fi creates embedded subset

    When I use the two letters "fi" in that order, when I export PDF, I get embedded subsets. This is on multiple fonts.
    if I switch the case of f"I" to fI upper case (EYE), then the embedded subset issue goes away. (the case of the first letter "f" does not matter.
    example so words:
    first
    fit
    profit
    indentifies

13. Export PDF causes unresponsiveness when clicking "same as Document Name" box and changing the filename manually

    InDesign freezes and becomes unresponsive when...

    Using the latest version of InDesign 14.0.1 on macOS Mojave 10.14.3 and exporting a press ready PDF (setting modified to include bleed and crop marks), checking "Using InDesign Document Name as the Output Filename" and then adding some text or changing the filename manually in the save dialog, InDesign freezes afterwards. The PDF is exported successfully, but the program locks up.

    When not checking the box and exporting a PDF there are no problems.

15. Images with transperencies and placed in formular fields are separeted wrong when exported as PDF.

    PNGs and PSDs with transparency and directly imported in an InDesign formular field are separeted wrong when exported as a PDF and separeted to cmyk. The images are too dark with a green tone.

    This happens in the last InDesign versions til the last CC2019 (14.01).

16. PDF export - massive file size difference between 143 and 144 dpi

    I've been exporting a couple of display stand artwork pieces from inDesign cc19. My background flattened jpeg in the inDesign document is 200dp and the rest is a few vector objectsi. I export using the PDFX1a:2001 spec as this is what the printer requested. By default the file size for 1.07GB, which is huge. I adjusted the downsampling on export and found that setting it 143dpi produces a 15.3MB PDF, yet changing it 144dpi makes the file hundreds of MBs. So 1 dpi changes drastically how big the PDF output file size is. Why is this?

17. PDF Export Formatting Issue

    I found that no matter what export options I use or how I format my file, it exports incorrectly. My content is in 2 columns on InDesign but when exported it seems pretty random how the PDF is structured (see the image).

    This poses a problem for parsing software to be able to read the document in the correct order. It's common practice within most companies to use this for resumes. I'm sure it's also used elsewhere as well.

    I've contacted support and they tried to resolve the issue by using my computer remotely. They found that this feature is not available.

18. Cannot export pdf from Adobe InDesign. Latest version. Latest Mac OS. Hasn't worked since September 2018.

    I am beyond frustrated with Adobe. I cannot export a pdf from Adobe InDesign either conventionally nor when publishing online. I am running the Latest version. Latest Mac OS. Exporting hasn't worked since September 2018. This is debilitating to my business. I need a solution and not a workaround, please.

19. In exported PDF, Hyperlinks jump to wrong page when their Text Anchor destination has moved to a different page due to reflow

    Hi

    In my InDesign file I have a Contents page with 10 hyperlinks to the first page of my 10 chapters. I created Text Anchor Hyperlink destinations on all 10 target pages, and then created Hyperlinks to them from the Contents page.

    The document is 180 pages long and uses a Primary Text Frame, and all the text anchors are contained within the main text flow.

    In 9 of these cases, clicking the hyperlinks in the exported PDF jumps to the correct page, but in one of them, clicking jumps to the NEXT page following the text anchor.

    However, if I test the hyperlink within the Links panel, it jumps to the correct page.

    If I jump to the destination by clicking the anchor in the Hyperlinks panel, this problematic link does jump to the correct page, but something is breaking in the export process which is causing it to jump to the wrong page when clicked in the PDF

    I realise that this happens when new pages have been inserted and removed again as part of Smart Reflow, causing the text anchor to end up on a different page to the one it was created on.

    Working in Indesign 14.0.1 on Windows 7 and viewing the PDF in Acrobat DC.

    Thanks for your help!
    Richard

20. Using text variables causes highlighting text in PDF to be inconsistent/scrumbled

    When exporting to PDF from a file including text variables, it results in text in pdf that it is impossible to highlight correctly. and therefore - it is impossible to mark PDF comments on it. Screenshot and PDF files are attached.
    It only happened with ARIAL font, and only in certain book files (that were created in previous ID version). I couldn't recreate the bug in another file.
    When I removed the text variables the PDF was exported fine.
    I also had another kind of conditional text I made in these files - it was a sentence written inside the 'Text After' field in Bullets & numbering tab in a Paragraph style, and would show on book only when typing something (I used space) using this paragraph style. This kind of conditional text had the same effect on PDF text, and when removed - PDF got exported fine.
