1. Critical PDF Export Issue - InDesign 17.4

   The font "Josefin Slab Thin" is "active", while it simultaneously errors that it can't find it, and continues trying to download the font in the background. I tried exporting the file on 2 different Adobe accounts and had the same issue with this font. Upon attempting to uninstall InDesign through the CC app, the "uninstall" button 'clicks' but does nothing. No loading button or anything.

2. URL Hyperlinks not working

   I am working on MacOS Ventura (brand-new update, November 9 2022) in the most up-to-date version of InDesign. Had the same problem on the latest Mac system as well.

   My hyperlinks are trying to "link to destination" and won't open, even though I have unchecked "Shared Hyperlink Destination" and have "link to URL" selected. See screenshot for the popup shown by Acrobat when you try to click the link.

   I have tried everything, no clue what to do. Please help.

3. export with spread option ignores page range

   Export with spread option ignores page range

   I've got an InDesign document with a 6 page spread.
   When I export to pdf and select the spread option with a page-range of page 3-6, page 1 and 2 are also included.

   This happens in InDesign 17.4 en 18. Not sure about older versions.

4. Output settings don't appear to be saved in Adobe PDF presets anymore in Indesign 17.4

   I rely on Adobe PDF Presets in Indesign. In version 17.4, it appears that output settings saved in custom presets are not observed anymore. I had a preset for low res pdfs with colour settings in output set to RGB values for online viewing. Worked great for years. Now I have to go in and turn off "all spots to Process" all the time.

5. Items outside frame are exported in PDF as well

   I have seen that this issue exists for a long time. Upon exporting to PDF, if you have placed a PDF inside a frame, anything outside the frame will be exported too. I believe that anything outside a frame should not be exported as it makes no sense, especially because it is exported as invisible (but still selectable). Can you fix this please?

   In my example, only the image you can see was inside the frame, but other items from the original PDF were exported.

   I am using Windows 11, Indesign 17.4

7. When exporting a Thai document to PDF, footnote numbering goes wrong after the ninth footnote.

   When exporting a Thai document to PDF, footnote numbering goes wrong after the ninth footnote.

   InDesign 17.4 (on Apple M1)

   To reproduce,

   1. Create nine footnotes however.
   2. Create a new paragraph wholly in Thai (which you can do by copying something over from the Thai Wikipedia, or just the following text: ย่อหน้า.)
   3. Place a cursor behind some distinctly Thai character (i.e., a consonant or vowel, not a punctuation mark).
   4. Insert the tenth footnote.
   5. Write the tenth footnote wholly in Thai.
   6. Export the document to PDF

   The footnote number (as a superscript) in the body should be 10, and the corresponding footnote number in the footer should be 10.

   But you'll find that the footnote number (as a superscript) in the body is just 1, and the footnote number in the footer is just 1 as well, as shown in the leftmost column of the PDF file attached.

   Some more information:

   • The footnote number in the body is correct when the paragraph is in English.
   • The footnote number in the footnote is correct when the footnote is in English.
   • This bug is serious. Its existence means that InDesign simply doesn't support the creation of Thai documents with more than nine footnotes.

   When exporting a Thai document to PDF, footnote numbering goes wrong after the ninth footnote.

8. File Can't Export to PDF

   I have a specific file that I cannot export to PDF. I simply get a Background Task Alert that says 'Failed to Export the PDF file.' This is the only file which gives me this problem, I'm able to export other files just fine. I am using PC, and other co-workers on Mac are able to Export the file just fine.

   I'm unsure as to what the issue is because I am getting No Errors mentioned in my Preflight Panel, and the Background Task Alert isn't giving any sort of code associated with the error.

10. Direct PDF-Export in Data merge copies "page-1-text" to all other pages

    In the linked video you can see a bug in Indesign 17.1 x64 on Windows 10.
    Data Merge offers two ways to output pages. You can generate a merged Indesign-Document (works) and you can directly export to PDF.
    The direct PDF-export doesn't work for me, because texts from page 1 get copied to all other pages instead of using each pages text.
    The video shows the comparison between both methods and i just don't see a reason for what is happening.

11. won't save

    InDesign 2021 randomly looses the ability to export or save. The dialog box won't even come up, even though the menu option isn't greyed out. This makes me loose all progress.

13. InDesign is removing caps from file names

    InDesign 17.1 x64 Often (most of the time, but not always) when I overwrite (File Save As) or Export to a PDF that already exists and overwrite the current file, the new file name becomes all small letters (removes my caps). It only happens with InDesign. I can overwrite PDFs from Word, Access, etc and it never happens. This is very frustrating. Just started happening with version 17.

14. PDF's Exporting at Large File Sizes

    I've been running into an issue with PDF's exporting at large file sizes. This became apparent to me after the 2022 update. Here is an example of how this occurs and disrupts my workflow.

    I recently sent a exported a PDF from an indd project that linked to 13 PSD's. The exported PDF file size came to relatively manageable 10 MBs.

    I later updated the same project, now including 20 linked PSD's. This PDF export came to 184 MBs!

    When I've run into this in the past, I've had to either convert the PSD's to JPG's, or run some kind of other optimization out of Acrobat. This is an OK workaround when in a crunch, but I prefer to keep the workflow of source images to PSD's, intact. The downside to running optimization out of acrobat is noticeable loss in image quality, especially in the red channel of JPG's. In the above example, running optimization out of Acrobat reduced the PDF from 184 MBs to 4 MBs, with some, but not too terrible, loss in image quality.

    It's highly likely that this jump in export size is due to the PSD's. My research has lead me to believe this has something to do with meta data carried over in the PSD's, but it still seems like an extreme shift in export size.

    Any thoughts on what the cause of this extreme file size could be? Can export to PDF image options be refined to mitigate this? Like enhanced image flattening, conversion, or meta data remove (if this is indeed the source of the issue). Are there any options that exist that I'm missing? Though, the variable here seems to be the PSD's themselves.

    I've included systems specs, and PDF export settings as attachments for reference, below.

    System Specs:
    Windows 10 Pro 20H2
    AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950x 16-Core 3.5 GHz
    128 GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

15. Slow creation of PDF low-res

    In addition to the problem I posted regarding a conflict between ID and Windows 11, I did resolve that by moving to an earlier release of ID. However, the creation of the low-res PDF now consumed the time it normally takes to produce a high-res print-ready export. Something is going on with ID 17.1.

16. InDesign 17.1 generating enormous PDF

    I am a book designer and have been using InDesign for years. Just upgraded to 17.1 and finding its exporting massive PDF of a simple text file (60 page novel - no images, no colour, no charts, no graphics...just black text on a white page). I cant get it below 18mb using 'Smallest File Size' which is ridiculous. Previously this would have been 1 to 2 mb. Can you fix this please?

17. Printing to PDF: transparent images on a black background create two different blacks.

    Export function doesn't tend to create this problem, but I have to use the Print Booklet function to get page layout and everything else correct.

    I understand the difference between Rich Black and Accurate Black, but changing the settings for what InDesign will export seems to have no effect. have tried about 6 different solutions but none of them seem to work, short of me jumping through obscene hoops to cheat it. FIX YOUR CRAP ADOBE.

    Attaching two images:
    First is Screencap from InDesign viewport.
    Second is PDF after print.

    UPDATE: The website doesn't allow me to upload jpegs, so Adobe if you're reading this, I hate you. That is actually the final straw. Took the time out of my day to file a complaint that I know won't ever be solved, and I can't handle any more hurdles. I'm not purchasing my suite again after this payment cycle ends. Best.

18. pdf export missing image

    1- InDesign(17.0.1)

    2- When importing this PDF file "Socredo.pdf" in an InDesign(17.0.1) magazine layout, then exporting it again in PDF, the upper background tatoo drawing disappears. This stays true even when trying different PDF export preferences.

    3- The expected result would be to have the 2 pdfs identical visually

    4- The file "105 Ecopol 2021-2022 Secteurs.pdf" is the actual result, with the missing upper tatoo background.
