1. PNG visible on acrobat reader but white on firefox, chrome or printed

   I placed a PNG in front of a direct tone color and export my page as a PDF. The png is shown when I open it on Acrobat Reader, but he is white when I open it on firefox or chrome. The PNG is invisible when I print it too.

2. indd 2022 - black font seperation incorrect in pdf export with some settings

   after the update to indd 2022 (which some idiot client editor did in the middle of a magazine before saving and thus up-versioning half the files) I have problems with pdf export. Since acrobat/distiller seems not to have been updated at the same time, I assume the problem is with indd.

   When exporting for print, indd exports black print as rich black - regardless of the indd settings - when the export to pdf settings /output / convert to destination (profile) is set.
   If I export with / convert to destination (preserve numbers) then black is exported correctly. This is obviously bunk.
   thw workaround (half a day to find this) is to export with convert to destination (preserve numbers). Caveat all images needed to be converted manually before export, as a specific output profile was necessary.

   needless to say everything worked as expected before the 'update'.

   Seperation is determined with Acrobat CC preflight ink separations.

   I can reproduce the error with a new document, with text cmyk 0 0 0 100 /adobe preset output all blacks accurately /, exported to pdf converted to ISO coated.
   With "preserve numbers" the separations in Acrobat are correct, without preserve numbers rich black is exported.

3. Colour Shift in Indesign CC 2021 16.4.0.54

   I upgraded last week to Indesign CC 2021. When I export ads from from Indesign that contain tiffs with a coloured background and sit on a background of the same CMYK colour values in Indesign, I encounter an issue which didn't exist in previous versions - when I output a pdf or jpg from the ad there is a noticeable colour shift in the image. I have been outputting ads using this coloured background method for years with no issue.

   This has worked fine previously in CC 2020 and earlier versions of Indesign but it appears to be something to do with exporting files like this in general rather than just an issue with pdfs themselves.

   To work around this in the interim I had to place clipping paths on the images, which solved the problem. It also creates a thin bar of colour on the right of the image picture box.

   A couple of people had a look at this in the Community Support Forum and had exactly the same issues, their conclusion was the same as mine, this appears to be a bug.

   Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

4. Workfront Integration

   I'm having an impossible time exporting PDFs from InDesign and uploading directly to Workfront using the Adobe Workfront Plug-in. No matter what settings I use, when I export directly to WF, the PDF is corrupt (images/text drops out, text frames duplicate on top of each other, etc.)...but when I export a PDF to a local folder, then upload that existing PDF using the WF Plug-in, the PDF is fine. See the examples below - the item on the left is the PDF output directly to WF, and the item on the right is output using the exact same settings, output to the desktop, then uploaded as a new proof version using the plug-in:

   Workfront Support says it's an InDesign export issue, not a plug-in issue because we recently had a couple of files drop out images and text from print-ready PDFs. I question that response because those were isolated to a single user's files and used standard vendor presets that we have never had problems with before. In my testing, I have tried exporting different files from our server and from my local drive, I have tried all the default PDF export presets as well as custom presets, and in every case the PDF exported from the WF plug-in is more than 50% corrupt.  Of course, we could export to folders and use the plug-in just to upload the PDFs but we do that already (create the PDFs and upload to WF) - the whole point of the plug-in is to streamline that process, but we can't do that unless the PDFs are clean, and they're not when we export/upload via the plug-in. I've also attached the PDFs - the "TEST" pdf is the one created straight from InDesign, then uploaded via the plug-in, the other is the pdf generated by the plug-in. I really appreciate any help I can get with this.

   I'm using InDesign 16.4 and MacOS 11.6

5. PDF Export causing font/item misalignment

   InDesign 16.2.1 x64
   There seems to be an issue caused by Exporting PDFs created by Steinberg Dorico. The expected result can be seen in the file:

   Hancock - Organ Album AJ - Toccata PDF from Dorico no issues

   look at measures 25 and 31 for comparision to

   Hancock - Organ Album AJ - Toccata PDF from inDesign issues

   there is a clear misalignment of stems with noteheads and tails. This only happens when you Export out of inDesign, the PDF created by Dorico is as it should be.
   Any idea why this is happening and can you do anything about it?

9. PDF Exporting to the Artifact Folder

   Computer Info: MacBook Pro 13 inch, 2018, OS: Big Sur 11.5.2
   Indesign Info: CC 16.3.2

   Lately, InDesign defaults all my exports to the "artifact" Folder on my computer (see screenshot). I don't know why. It seems like a bug. Even if in a session, I have already exported from the same file elsewhere or exported from a different file elsewhere, every time export it always defaults to that folder.

   The only thing is because I run the files off the server. But, if that is the case it used to work and has recently stopped working. Please help.

12. CC2021: Alternate text for hyperlinks

    I am reposting this from https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/38972206-cc2020-alternate-text-for-hyperlinks

    Because despite Adobe's claim it is STILL NOT FIXED IN 2021 16.2.1

    "In CC2020 a new function for writing alternate text for links was introduced.
    Using this function and generating a PDF Leeds to wrong PDF notation. The alt text in PDF is presented by alt text, which is forbidden in the PDF world, where alt text only should be used for non text elements, e.g. pictures. By presenting only the alt text the accessibility is lost – this is against the goal to hav a better output!

    A correct output would lead to a content entry.

    Note: Alt text for links is under discussion, as such alt text is not present for all users (it would be read out loud, but you can't read it) – this is not about equal access."

    Because this was working and now it is not it opens my company up to legal actions under the Americans with Disabilities Act—FIX IT ASAP!

17. Id CC 2021 pdf export failure

    This is an issue I and my coworker have been having with previous versions of INDD CC, along with 2021 (16.1). It's been a problem for about a year now. We work off of a server, and exporting to a PDF fails frequently. It usually works if we export to our desktops, but exporting to the server is very hit-or-miss. It doesn't matter if the file is older or has just been created, and it doesn't matter whether it contains linked files or not.

    I have never had it fail to export to my desktop, but she has. She had to reboot her computer before she could get a PDF out of it.

    We're both on Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6.
