frame background showing behind polygon that's been pasted into it
Indesign v18.4
Steps:
- make a rectangular frame, give it a background color
- make a polygon the same color as the page background, that intersects the edge of the frame
- cut and paste-into the polygon into the frameExpected
the combination perfectly simulates the appearance of subtracting the polygon from the rectangular frame, but in a way that preserves editability.Actual
works imperfectly: a tiny sliver of the background is visible on the edge of the rectangular frame. this very thin line gets thickened by the "enhance thin lines" function on adobe reader (but is still visible without…1 vote -
Metadata, text variables in Indesign
Indesign don't insert Metadata (XMP) from the orioginal images downloaded from stock.adobe.com (as text variable); the downloaded image has to open in Photoshop and to »Save as«. Then the XMP-Metadata could be read by Indesign (as text variable).

Spacebar to move, option to duplicate, everything. none of it working. this is a brand new computer, installed InDesign, and the shortcuts have not worked at all. I've tried all of the solutions on the internet and none have worked. Please help.

Links panel does not sort sublinks logically
I have linked a file with some 120 pages to document. When I sort links panel by name, "sublinks" are sorted in mess:
doc:1, doc:10, doc:101, doc:2, doc:21
instead of normal number order

Display glitch when Placing multiple images
Adobe Indesign 2023 and prior.
When several large images are selected in the 'place' dialog box to place one after another, the first image often does not display the green guide arrows for matching existing object sizes. Subsequent images in that set do, but these often display the preview for the image just placed rather than the image currently loaded.

Nach jedem update gehen Verknüpfungen verloren
Es ist ein Graus! Seit ewigen Zeiten gehen nach jedem Update (aktuell 18.4) in jedem Dokument jegliche Verknüpfungen verloren. Gerade bei umfangreichen Dokumenten, die Verknüpfungen aus vielen verschiedenen Ordnern enthalten, ist das schier untragbar! Dieser Arbeitsaufwand ist nicht nur zeitintensive, sondern auch nervenaufreibend, und müsste in meinen Augen auch programmiertechnisch behoben werden.

Gros bug d'affichage
Bonjour, j'ai un bug d'affichage intermittent sous InDesign que je constate depuis plusieurs versions (depuis au moins fin 2021) : lorsque j'appuie sur "w" pour passer du mode de l'écran "Normal" au mode de l'écran "Aperçu", j'ai parfois des aberrations graphiques qui m'empêchent de voir correctement la double-page et qui persistent jusqu'à ce que je revienne en mode "Normal".

Object Layer Options is broken in v18.3
When turning off a layer in a placed PSD file with "Object Layer Options", other layers in the PSD are also turned off, even though their respective visibility icons indicate they are showing.
See the attached file. The "Gradient Map 100" layer makes the image purple. However, when hiding the "Generative Layer 1" layer, the effect of the former layer is broken.

some of the objects seems to be missing although they are appearing on the page
some of the objects seems to be missing although they are appearing on the page. you can see them only if you press - select all, but can't select separately.
But when I create a pdf file all the "missing" objects appears on the page. It's a big and complex file of about 70 pages.

Placed SVG bounding box not correctly sized to viewbox/clipping path
When placing an SVG file in an InDesign document, the object's bounding box does not match the actual extent of the SVG file correctly. There are two issues I have noticed:
When elements extend beyond the SVG's viewbox, InDesign incorrectly sets the bounding box of the asset at the full extent of those elements. This occurs even if those elements are contained within a clipping path (as defined within the SVG – not referring to ID's built-in clipping path feature).
Placed SVGs seem to self-crop about 1px from the edges of the viewbox. Consequently the bounding box has a 1px…

Linked files cannot be found
Until the end of 2022, it was possible to share / exchange files and documents with linked files via Creative Cloud to edit them on another PC. We could copy, save, and modify the files and folders in any way. As long as the file linked to the document was in the same folder, it was no problem. After updating the data source, all the links were there. Since the beginning of 2023 with the 2023 version, this is no longer possible. InDesign always refers to missing images and the data path is always the originating PC where the file…

Objects drawn with Pen tool (including paths for text) disappear when placed over Photoshop file—text wrap is NOT the issue.
As a children's book designer, I often type on paths, and almost always place text over images. Everything was fine until InDesign's February 2023 update. Now, anything I draw with a pen tool on my text layer—shapes, or paths for type—are invisible, unless I turn off the image layer below it. Note that text wrap for the image is turned off. Text wrap is not the issue!
Attached are side-by-side screenshots showing my attempts to type on a path. The text disappears when the image layer is turned on. As an experiment, I also drew a random shape with the…

dropped math characters in imported eps files
InDesign CC 18.1 x64 sometimes drops characters in math imported as EPS files on export to PDF. This is similar to an earlier problem that appeared after an update when none of the EPS files would print. This problem seems to correct itself when the file is re-exported, but not always. Editing the imported EPS with MathType also seems to correct it. The file missing characters and the correct file are uploaded for comparison.

Shift+Enter (Num-Pad) no longer opens a file with options
Up to InDesign 2022 one had the possibility to open/place a file with additional options by hitting Shift+Enter (NumPad), instead of checking the box "open with options". Shift+Click on Open still works.

Font distortion in SVG files imported from Illustrator
InDesign version 18.1 has a bug when importing svg images made in Illustrator; the fonts used in the svg files are distorted.
When I had exported the svg files in Illustrator, I chose "save as" and SVG Options: Subsetting > "All Glyphs" to make sure the fonts remained accurate when placed in InDesign, and this has always worked until version 18.1. When I went back to version 18 and opened the file, the fonts were back to normal.1 vote -
