  1. links not clickable on publish online link

    When I publish my document online, Hyperlinks are not clickable. When the document is viewed as a PDF, links ARE clickable. All text is ungrouped and on the top layer. All hyperlinks are properly embedded (again, they work in the PDF and this is purely an issue with the Publish Online link). Running the latest Indesign 20.2 on Mac Sonoma 14.7

  5. Problems with punctuation when exporting Hebrew files to epub

    Using Indesign V.19.5 on a Mac OS Sequoia V15.0.1

    When exporting a Hebrew document the punctuations move to the beginning of the sentences. I am unable to upload this book to an online shop. Had been in touch with Adobe support in the past but the issue remains.

  6. interactive rollovers

    The Latest version of Indesign (20.0) has some bugs with rollover buttons in the EPUB Interactivity preview.

    Some rollover buttons work (buttons with basic changes made in the rollover state ie font/colour).

    Some rollover buttons do not work (buttons with different images placed in each rollover state) THE ROLLOVER STATE ALWAYS SHOWS, THE NORMAL STATE NEVER SHOWS.

    The 'publish online' documents work fine, this bug ONLY occurs with the EPUB interactivity preview in Indesign.

  7. scrolling text frame

    When publishing my file online, a gap appears in the text within the scrolling text frame. (see attachment) The gap seems to be aligned to the place where the text hits the bottom of the container frame. There are no extra characters causing this gap in the text. I had the same issue with a document a year ago, but it looks like this bug is still there.

    Version: Indesign 2025

    Steps to reproduce issues:
    •Paste longer text box into container box.
    •Align content to top left.
    •Use overlays panel, choose "Scrollable frame," Scroll direction: vertical, Initial content position: Upper…

  10. If a user selects 'allow viewers to Search and Copy text in the published document' when publishing online, all the hyperlinks stop working

    When publishing online, if a user checks the box, 'allow viewers to Search and Copy text in the published document', all the hyperlinks stop working properly. If you're lucky, a link may work the first time you click it, but then it won't work if you click it again (Latest version of INDD on a Mac).

  12. Publish online - Play videos

    I was trying to play a video in Publish Online there are 4 buttons to play each video but every time I click on one button, it all comes out in one click.

    The links to each button seem all correct but when it comes to playing online it seems the button doesn't control the videos

  14. Publish Online does not zoom in/out or change orientation properly on mobile

    I am using InDesign 19.3, and have been using Publish Online to create dozens of magazines in digital format. I have just realized, however, that when viewing them on phones (either Apple or Android), the orientation switches are klunky and zooming in/out does not work very well. We do have the code embedded in a simple frame so that it can be branded with our logo. That should not make a difference, however. This problem seems to go far back in the forums and there have been no improvements or updates over time. Is there anything in the pipeline to…

  17. Publish Online search text

    When I publish a document online from Indesign by activating text search, the related drop-down menu that contains this command at the bottom right of the web page, does not open correctly on iPads, both using Safari and Chrome, while on Android tablets everything works correctly. I kindly ask you to fix this bug, thank you

  18. CUSTOM URLS FOR ADOBE PUBLISH ONLINE BROCHURES

    <> Custom URL, so it looks more professional to clients rather than it saying "Ind.Adobe" with loads of numbers following it.

    <> While on the subject of the URL, it would be fantastic if we could customise the cover photo/thumbnail rather than it showing the adobe logo, I'd like to show my brands logo. It would be a great feature for when we send the link in WhatsApp

  19. analytics

    I've integrated a Google Analytics tag to my InDesign Publish Online document following the steps detailed in the recent announcement / setup guide.

    My analytics tag successfully identifies views when I load the document on the indd.adobe.com site, but it does not capture activity when I embed the InDesign viewer on a third-party website.

    By using "Inspect" in Chrome, I can see that the INDD embed includes code that references the correct Google Tag on third-party sites, but Analytics isn't registering the view – even after I click "Accept" in the cookie banner, and after I allow third-party cookies in my…

  20. Indesign Online Dashboard improvements - Custom URL, Google analytics, Fname direct to send clients

    Indesign is hands down the best software to design & create digital brochures with its advanced technology & features its impeccable. HOWEVER talking about the Online Dashboard System its not leading the industry.

    I've done my research and a lot of the online digital brochure creator websites are ahead.

    I will list below a few new ideas/features I'd love to see Adobe implement to put them back in the lead when it comes to the publishing feature.
    (Some of these ideas are already being done by the online companies)

    <> Custom URL, so it looks more professional to clients rather…
