1. Broken Creative Cloud links when linking to InDesign documents after InDesign 2021 Update

   I work for a global creative agency. We use Creative Cloud for all of our lockups, logos and vector artwork.

   Since updating to InDesign 2021, we've noticed that all Creative Cloud links are broken and when we export a file with embedded InDesign documents within it, we need to go through and open every single InDesign file again.

   We now have to check every single link in every single exported PDF as there is almost always some broken assets that show up as white boxes.

   InDesign doesn't give any alerts for broken links in this instance either.

2. Can't select gradients from swatches

   Since installing the new InDesign 2021, I'm not able to apply my colour swatches to the gradient bar. When I click on a colour swatch, it changes the main fill rather than the gradient colour.

   This was working before the update.

   Need More Info  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Senior Lead Quality Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

   To apply a swatch to one of the gradient stops, you have to hold down the Alt key and then click on a Swatch in the Swatches panel. Clicking directly on any of the swatches changes the fill color of the object to the Swatch color instead of changing the color of the gradient stop.
   Please confirm the above in the previous release as well as InDesign 2021.

3. Clipping paths with inset frame only use the main clipping path.

   I have many photos with clipping paths that exactly outlines the garments. When using these against a backdrop, there is a thin white remnant of the white backdrop. To avoid this I can use INSET FRAME on the clipping path.

   But, if I use inset frame, the "internal" paths are disregarded and it only uses the first clipping path.

   I know I should fix the images, but it would take me ages. I have requested the different photographers to make the paths correctly, but they tend to revert to setting the paths at the garment edge. I do not know if you regard this as a bug, but one should at least have an option of applying the inset on all paths. Right? Indesign 15.01

4. InDesign doesn't sort numbers at the beginning of filenames naturally when placing multiple files, instead opting for alphabetical

   InDesign CC 2020, 15.1.2 (Mac, but possibly Windows, I can't test)
   Place multiple image files where filenames start with increasing numbers (e.g. page numbers).
   Expected: files get placed in order 1, 2, 3, ..., 10, 11, ..., 100, 101, etc.
   Actual: files get placed in order 1, 10, 100, ..., 2, 20, 200, 201, 3, ..., etc

   It doesn't follow the OS implementation of natural order sorting, so placing a lot of images doesn't match the Finder. It instead uses alphabetical sorting, which is counterintuitive.

5. Viewing page with linked image causes file to be marked as dirty (needs saving)

   InDesign version: 15.1.1
   Additional versions tried: 15.0.3, 15.0, 14.0.3
   MacOS Mojave (10.14.6) on two different computers

   To reproduce:
   1. Create a new empty document.
   2. Add a second page to the document.
   3. Place Image, onto the page you're viewing (I did a PNG)
   4. Save and close the document.
   5. Open the document.
   6. Wait 2-20 seconds, doing nothing to change the document.

   Expected result: document opens to page with placed image, nothing else happens / changes.

   Actual result: document opens to page with placed image, and after a delay the document is marked as changed (asterisk appears in tab before the filename, InDesign prompts to save document when you close it)

   Additional detail: It seems to key off of viewing the page with the linked image, not just opening the file. If you save the document while viewing the page without the image, then when you re-open it (and see the imageless page) the file is not marked be as dirty even if you wait. However, if you then go to the page with the linked image (by clicking, scrolling, or command-J), shortly after you get there the file will be marked as dirty. (If you scroll, the key event seems to be hitting the boundary to the new page; the linked image does not need to actually be displayed.)

   Attempted fixes which did not resolve the problem:
   • Deleting my InDesign preferences (by holding down CTL-CMD-OPT-SHIFT during program startup)
   • Deleting my Cache

   InDesign version: 15.1.1
   Additional versions tried: 15.0.3, 15.0, 14.0.3
   MacOS Mojave (10.14.6) on two different computers

6. Problem with changing the cursor to text - Indd 2020

   Hello. After running the latest version of InDesign CC 2020 v. 15.03. x64, I have a problem with changing the cursor to text and to back. It takes about 40-50 seconds. This happens each time you launch InDesign. The size of the processed file does not affect the error. Thanks for feedback.

7. Variable font doesn't...vary.

   I just installed the new Macklin variable fonts from Monotype. They work as expected in Illustrator, and the "regular" cut works as expected in InDesign. However, the Macklin Sans font dosen't work well in InDesign: the prebuilt weights are functional, but when one varies the axis sliders, they seem to have no effect. Bug in the font or in InDesign?

   InDesign 15.0.2, Mac OS 10.15.4

   Under Review  ·  Abhinav Kaushik responded

   We have verified this issue using customer document.Issue is reproducible in InDesign’s 15.0.2 and 14.0.3 versions.
   We will update this thread once we have proper fix for this issue.

   Workaround:
   Please switch to CPU rendering and change display performance to typical.

10. Activated Fonts Don't Load

    I created a graphic with Minion Pro Bold font but when I reopen the file to do more work a pop up window says I need to activate the Bold. Only when I shut down the software and reopen it after activating does the Bold font appear as originally designed. This happens over and over and seems like an unprofessional bug in the software.

12. XMP file info dialog box (for linked images) no longer shows up

    I clicked the flyout menu in the Links panel, and choose to display the XMP file info and the dialog box doesn't show up. It's like it is off screen somewhere, as all the menus are then grayed out. I can hit Escape a few times to get out of it. But sometimes InDesign totally locks up and I have to force quit.

13. missing dialog box

    When i clicked on the effect (example; gradient feather) for my image, there is no dialog box popping out. I'm unable to click on other tools and I've to use the escape key to close the 'invisible' dialog box before I can use the other tools. Hence, I'm unable to apply any effect on my image.

    I'm using the Indesign CC (13.0.1) on Windows.

    It feels like it's a programme bug. I've tried to reinstall the programme but it still persists.

    Please assist.

14. Edit with other - doesn't see Photoshop as an application

    I use the Indesign feature on the links menu to Edit With, either using the default application or another. We just updated to the latest CC (ps, il, in) and the other application isn't the same. For any jpg or pdf, it shows Photoshop or illustrator or Acrobat as available to open the image selected. However, if I select an ai. file, it shows Illustrator as the default, and Preview as another option - no Photoshop. I select Other to add Photoshop, go to the applications folders, click on Photoshop and it's only seeing it as a folder, not as an application.

    From a finder window, if I click on an ai. file, choose open with other, go to the applications folders, select Photoshop it does see it as an applications and allows me to open the file.

    It was a very useful, speedy way to edit images in either illustrator or photoshop using the Edit With in Indesign.

    Why doesn't it work now? Why does Indesign not see Photoshop as application anymore?

15. 'Move Pages' causes the position of content to shift to the right on right-side pages, master same for both files

    'Move Pages' causes the position of content to shift to the right on right-side pages, even though the master pages are the same for both files.

    I am trying to take several page sets and combine them in one file, but I have to manually fix them after moving the pages over. Very concerning as I'm not sure if anything else is breaking or getting lost in the move.

16. InCopy assignment names don't change with file name

    Backstory:
    We have particularly formatted files that we use to create new versions for new products. The copy isn't created new, but modified from the old version that was already used in InCopy.

    The Issue:
    My InCopy guy FREAKS OUT when he sees the name of the assignment assets (attached screenshot) are that of a previous project not at all related to the file he's currently working on.

    The Long and Complicated Solutions:
    I know there's a way in InCopy to rename these, but it's long, complicated and outside of a standard workflow. A shorter and easier method would be to create a new text object and copy/paste the text there. But that's still not ideal.

    An Ideal Solutions? (if ever at all possible):
    The actual Assignment name (that starts as "Assignment 1") can be changed by simply double clicking it form the assignments panel if you neglected to change it when the assignment was created. Could assets also get that treatment maybe?

    Any simple fixes would be helpful.

17. Relink is broken

    Hi, I have an existing linked file (PDF) already contained within a document, for example PDF_a.pdf in the links panel. The original link generates the graphic and displays on the page.

    I want to update that link to now link to PDFb.pdf. I choose the relink button from the links panel, the file name updates in the links panel to display PDFb.pdf, however the graphic displayed on the page remains that of PDF_a.pdf.

    If I save the file, close InDesign and reopen it, the link remains PDFb.pdf, while the graphic shows PDFa.pdf on the page.

    If I export the file it similarly exports the wrong graphic displaying PDF_a.pdf as well.

    I recently just had my machine updated to the CC versions of InDesign from the CS2 version and I've started experiencing this problem.

    Help!

    Hi,
    Thanks for reporting the issue.
    We have been able to reproduce it and will consider it for fixing.

20. Page tool causes layout shifts on parent pages

    When the Page Tool is used to resize parent (master) pages, unwanted shifts of page items may occur. These can occur directly in the document or also after an IDML export. Whereby with the IDML export the order of the sample pages plays a role

    Concrete example: When the right bottom corner of the Page Tool is selected and the page size is changed, a position mismatch occurs on the inherited master page.

    It is expected that on master pages of the same size the position of objects and inherited object is the same.

    This does not occur if the upper left corner of the Page tool is used when resizing.

    You can see this also in the different matixes of the inner coordinate system of the master pages.

    Resize master page in UI – top left corner selected:
    app.activeDocument.masterSpreads[0].pages[0].resolve(AnchorPoint.TOPLEFTANCHOR,CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES)[0];
    › 0.0

    Resize master page in UI – bottom right corner selected:
    app.activeDocument.masterSpreads[0].pages[0].resolve(AnchorPoint.TOPLEFTANCHOR,CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES)[0];
    › 28.3464566929137.48.1889763764252

    After the IDML export, guides are also partially displaced. See attached screenshots. Whereby here also the order of the sample pages in the page panel plays a role, thus:

    Page Panel

    A-Master Page
    B-Master Page

    or

    B-Master Page
    A-Master Page
