1. Two-page paragraph border

   I have a picture and the caption on two differentes pages. I want to draw a line between them. So I use paragraph border. In InDesign, it is OK (see image Dans InDesign.jpg) but in the PDF, the line stops at the edge of the page (see Dans Acrobat.jpg). Somebody says me to generage the PDF with board option. It's a good idea but the printer refuses to use this file.

2. Unknown character inserted before hyphen in PDF export

   InDesign v16.1

   We have an InDesign file where the word "papier" is hyphenised by InDesign in this way "pa-pier", but after exporting in PDF, an unknown character was inserted before the hyphen and is shown as the letter "u" overlapping a displaced hyphen. Copy/pasting the word from the PDF gives this: pa�-pier

   If the PDF is exported again, the problem is not reproduced.

4. InDesign to Acrobat Accessibility Bug

   When performing Acrobat remediation on InDesign publications containing correct export tagging, the Acrobat Reading Order tool shows "P" tags at the end of each line of text (as well as additional "P" tags in the middle of lines). The Acrobat Tags panel shows no paragraph tags -- just broken up lines of text.

   Fortunately, these broken up lines are not reproduced as such by the screen reader. So why does Acrobat identify each line of text with a "P" in the first place?

   This issue needs to be fixed as it creates a dilemma and lot of unnecessary remediation work for those who are unaware that screen readers are able to bypass broken up lines and read the full paragraph.

   I'm currently using InDesign 2021 but this has been happening with earlier versions as well.

   I initially submitted this as an Acrobat bug and was advised in response that it is an InDesign issue.

5. Embeded fonts in forms

   When I make forms in Acrobat that use some fonts with licensing restrictions, Acobat show a warning with message.
   In Indesign I think you should make the same.
   Thanks.

6. PDF Files Not Exporting

   When I try to export any file in InDesign to a PDF of any type or size nothing happens. No error messages pop up and nothing happens. My background tasks say export failed but no indication why. Also there are no corrupted files, disconnected links or errors in my document and it has been exported before.

7. Incorrect replacement of special characters in hyperlinks while exporting to interactive PDF

   In InDesign, the special characters in hyperlinks are converted while exporting as interactive PDF differently depending on the platform (Windows or Mac) and the type of hyperlink and are thus made unusable.

   If the hyperlink replaces a text without further intervention in the document, special Characters are sometimes incorrectly replaced.

   The replacement is different depending on how the hyperlink is used in the document:
   - text that is a hyperlink
   - Assigned hyperlink to a text
   - button

   In addition, Mac and Windows export result in further differences.

   So far I only have tested the letters äüö, but cannot rule out the possibility that other special characters will be converted incorrectly.

   So it doesn't make sense.
   Please convert this different handling to a functioning one in all environments.

   See attached PDF for the Links made on Mac.
   Unfortunately i can't upload the Indesign file for you to test this issue.

8. Accessibility Alternate Text Issues in Acrobat

   The file is designed where certain graphic elements are grouped together to make editing easier for others. In this case, horizontal dividers are made from two basic rectangles and a text box, grouped together.

   Each rectangle shape is tagged as "horizontal divider" in the export options for accessibility. When I export to PDF and run the full accessibility check, I'm told that the group failed the "figures alternate text" test.

   I then apply alternate text to the group in the export options. I run the full accessibility check in Acrobat and I am told that everything inside the group failed the "nested alternate text" test.

   I remove the alternate text from the rectangles, export, run the full accessibility test, and I'm told the rectangles failed the "figures alternate text" test.

   The bug is that no matter how the file is set up, it can't pass the full accessibility test. If I include the alt text, I get an error that alt text is nested and that I need to remove the alt text. When I remove the alt text, I get an error saying that alt text is needed. I either get one error or the other.

   While this could be fixed in Acrobat if it were a one or two page document, these horizontal rules exist across hundreds of pages and there should be a way to set it up in InDesign so that they export with the correct alternate text applied to them so it passes the accessibility full check.

9. Background Task Seems Stuck

   When I create a PDF using InDesign presets, the background task indicator keeps spinning and spinning. When I click on the indicator, I get a dialog box that tells me the name of the file that I exported with the status "Complete. See Alert." However, the alert area is empty. The only way to get it to stop, is to quit InDesign and restart.

11. Bug: Ligatures cause inconsistent font weight in exported PDFs

    PDFs exported from InDesign and viewed in Chrome display inconsistent font weights, and the issue appears to be linked in some way to ligatures.

    In my own testing, I have found the following, but I am not entirely confident that this is a complete picture of the problem:

    • Ligatures turned on everywhere = lighter text
    • Ligatures turned off everywhere = bolder text
    • Ligatures turned on in some places = inconsistent font weight line by line. Not certain if there is a regular pattern to these inconsistencies.

    Issue seems to present only when exported PDFs are viewed in Chrome, but I have not tested extensively. Issue seems to persist regardless of any PDF export settings.

    Tested most thoroughly with Roboto font, but upon quick checks the issue appears to occur with others, too.

    Issue is most noticeable with white text on a colored background, however it is more subtly noticeable with a white background, as well. Issue occurs in documents with no transparencies, so that does not appear to be a root cause (I mention as the only other reported examples I could find of inconsistent font weight in PDF exports were apparently related to having transparent objects such as shadows and PNG images in the document).

    I believe I have found examples of this issue in InDesign-generated PDFs found on the web, as well (e.g. attached GoToWebinar PDF, pp. 2–3: note how lines including the ti ligature are lighter than others). As a result, I don't think the issue is specific to my machine/installation.

    PDFs exported from InDesign and viewed in Chrome display inconsistent font weights, and the issue appears to be linked in some way to ligatures.

12. Indd-generated QR code disappears in Print-PDF

17. When exporting PDF/X1-a:2003, Indesign creates a PDF 1.3 instead of PDF 1.4. Why?

    When exporting PDF/X1-a:2003, Indesign creates a PDF 1.3 instead of PDF 1.4. Why? The standard has lifted the Version to PDF 1.4 for the :2003 (over the PDF 1.3 in the :2001).
    How do I change that (if that is not a bug in Indesign)?

    Some Indesign files will not export to pdf while other Indesign 2020 files export fine. An alert shows but there is no detail in the alert. There does not seem to be any difference between the files that export and those that don't. Indesign 2020 does not accept file names that are too long.
