3. Story that spans several pages not adding to InCopy Assignment.

   When I create an InCopy file the bulk of the document does not add to the assignment. When I right click on the story there is no InCopy option in the drop down. If I go to the assignments panel I cannot add the story to the assignment.

   Just updated to InDesign cc 2018. (13.0.1) Running El Capitan.

4. Data missing when importing a spreadsheet (Exel) into InDesign

   When I insert an excel document into my indesign document some values of some cells do not appear in Indesign document. I tried to save the excel document in an older version and that's the only way it worked.I think it's a compatibility issue.

   I need that this issue resolved to can work in editorial work design.

5. open copy

   Adobe InDesign CC v 13.0 - macOS 10.9 - 10.13

   I feel like this was a previously fixed bug in an older version, but may well be back with the latest 2018 update.

   After upgrading InDesign to v 13.0, we are now not longer able to open a copy of files in use, neither duplicate the file in Finder.

   When we try to open a copy we get this error message: “Cannot open file [filename.indd]. The file [filename.indd] is incompatible with Adobe InDesign (Error code: 14).”

   When we try to duplicate the file, we get this error message: “The operation can't be completed because the item [filename.indd] is in use.”

9. [ID-4277180]InDesign v21.2.0.030 crashes on quit in SubProcess

   Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
   Adobe InDesign 2026, Version 21.2.0.30 (Build 21200)
   Running on macOS 26.2 (25C56) on Apple Silicon (Mac14,2, 16 GB RAM)
   Steps to reproduce the issue
   1. Launch Adobe InDesign 2026.
   2. Open any document (or create a new blank document).
   3. Work normally for a while, or even do nothing.
   4. Choose “InDesign > Quit InDesign” or press Cmd+Q.
   5. Confirm quitting if prompted.
   Expected result
   InDesign quits cleanly without any error message and returns to the macOS desktop.
   Actual result
   • InDesign crashes on quit every time.
   • macOS shows a crash dialog stating that “Adobe InDesign 2026 quit unexpectedly” (or similar wording).
   • The macOS crash report shows:
   • Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
   • Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 6, “Abort trap: 6”
   • Crash is triggered in Thread 10.
   • This happens even after:
   • Resetting InDesign preferences on launch.
   • Deleting InDesign caches and preference folders in the user Library.
   • Completely uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign via Creative Cloud.
   • Testing in a brand-new macOS user account.
   Additional context
   • The same InDesign version (21.2.0.30) on my previous Mac and macOS version did not show this problem; the issue started only after migrating to the new Mac (same InDesign version, newer macOS).
   • No third‑party plug‑ins are installed (or all third‑party plug‑ins have been removed for testing).
   • The crash occurs regardless of which document is open; even a new, empty document triggers the crash on quit.

   Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
   Adobe InDesign 2026, Version 21.2.0.30 (Build 21200)
   Running on macOS 26.2 (25C56) on Apple Silicon (Mac14,2, 16 GB RAM)
   Steps to reproduce the issue
   1. Launch Adobe InDesign 2026.
   2. Open any document (or create a new blank document).
   3. Work normally for a while, or even do nothing.
   4. Choose “InDesign > Quit InDesign” or press Cmd+Q.
   5. Confirm quitting if prompted.

   Hi,

   Thank you for reporting the issue. It is currently under investigation.

10. Severe InDesign Performance Issues

    I’m reporting severe and ongoing performance problems with InDesign that are significantly affecting day-to-day work.

    The application has become consistently slow and laggy during normal use — including delays when clicking, saving, zooming, switching pages, placing assets, and general UI responsiveness. At times, even simple actions take several seconds and the software feels almost unusable.

    While performance is worse when working from Dropbox-synced folders, the same lag and delays also occur when working with files stored fully locally. This suggests the issue is not limited to cloud storage and may be a broader performance problem within InDesign itself.

    This behavior is happening across regular production files and is causing major productivity loss for our workflow.

    Please investigate and prioritize improvements to overall performance and stability. InDesign is currently much slower than other Adobe applications and has become difficult to use efficiently.

    Thank you for your assistance.

11. Lenteur extrême indesign 2026

    Bonjour,
    depuis environ 1 semaine (dernière mise à jour 21.1 x64 d'InDesign sur PC), chaque lettre ajoutée à un document dans InDesign 2026 met presque 10 secondes avant d'apparaître et que je puisse agir de nouveau sur mon document. Même chose pour sélectionner un mot ou pour effectuer la moindre action dans un texte en cours d'édition. seule le curseur bouge normalement, mais il disparaît tant que l'action en cours n'a pas été réalisée.
    J'ai désinstallé et réinstallé InDesign en supprimant les préférences. rien n'a changé.
    J'ai réinitialisé les préférences et rien n'a changé.
    Mon système est très récent :
    - Processeur : AMD Ryzen 7 7700 8-Core Processor (3.80 GHz)
    - Mémoire RAM installée : 32,0 Go (31,1 Go utilisable)
    - Système d’exploitation 64 bits, processeur x64
    - Windows 11 Famille - Version 25H2 - Installé le ‎11/‎07/‎2025
    Build du système d’exploitation 26200.7623
    Carte graphique : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050

    C'est une panne critique pour moi car en tant qu'éditeur, je ne peux plus travailler correctement ni rapidement sur les livres en cours alors que tout allait bien avec ces mêmes dossiers il n'y a que quelques jours.
    Merci de me donner une solution qui rétablisse le fonctionnement normal d'InDesign.
    bien cordialement,
    Jean-Louis KERVAHUT.

12. Adobe InDesign 20.5 - InDesignEPS Import: UnmatchedMark error.

    Has anyone found a fix for this error "EPS Import: UnmatchedMark error" when placing a vector into InDesign? This has been a feature between programs for as long as I can remember and it is really frustrating that so many comments tell you "not" to do this as it is bad practice. It is definitely part of my workflow and helps create smaller, cleaner files, and streamlined, accurate colour palettes.

14. Subject: Why Did You Break the Zoom Tool in InDesign?

    Subject: Why Did You Break the Zoom Tool in InDesign?

    Dear Adobe Team,

    Can someone please explain why the Command + Space + drag-to-zoom behavior in InDesign was altered? This used to be a seamless, intuitive part of the workflow — one of those tiny things that made a big difference for power users.

    Now, depending on the version or OS, it either doesn’t work, lags, or flat-out refuses to cooperate unless I perform keyboard yoga. This is not an improvement. This is disruption disguised as innovation.

    I’m not asking for a new feature. I’m asking you to restore a basic function that worked perfectly well for decades. Was there truly a wave of users begging you to complicate the zoom tool?

    Please bring back the classic Command + Space + drag zoom behavior. Some of us have muscle memory older than your interns.

    Sincerely,

    Kim Fowler
    Longtime Adobe User & Disappointed Zoomer (the shortcut kind)

15. variable fonts

    In a TrueType based variable font, if some nodes have implied deltas at the edge of outline, that edge can jump around as seen in the attached video. The right stem of the "n" should stay on the baseline. And it does in all other environment that I tested (Illustrator, Photoshop, Chrome, Safari …).

    I tried to attach the font but get an error that .ttf and .zip files are not allowed. Here is a link to the file in dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/69ynar0ds0k44fhsuge2j/ImpliedDeltasVF.ttf?rlkey=zccl17cd67ru4oat5qlt2eb99&st=c469cifb&dl=0

16. Error message is seen while opening InDesign after Photoshop 26.5 update

    Problem Description

    After the PhotoShop 26.5 update this morning, when opening InDesign, I got an error popup regarding a missing startup script in PhotoShop. The same thing does not happen in other CC apps.

    Workaround 1:

    1. Uninstall Photoshop 26.5 (make sure to remove preferences).
    2. Reinstall Photoshop 26.5. This will install the correct “photoshop_v2025.jsx”.

    Workaround 2:

    1. Open jsx, which is available at "/Library/application support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CC/Adobe Photoshop/" mentioned in the alert in the Text Editor
    2. Add } in the last line

17. Alert is shown on opening documents in InDesign(v20.0.1) - "This file is already open by another user or another application."

    Yesterday I edited a file in Indesign V19.5.1. Now I can no longer open this and many of my previous design files. I get the error message: ‘This file is already open by another user or application. This file may be stored on a network server and cannot be opened until the other user closes it.

    I have updated to V20.0.1 and reinstalled V19.0. Both did not help. This bug has been around for a long time in different versions and it occurs regularly.

20. Document made in InDesign 2024 no longer loads in InDesign 2025

    InDesign 2025 (v20.0)

    is unable to open a document (a 400 page book in one single file) that I finished a few days before updating InDesign. It was made using version 19.5. I've tried several versions of the book: both the last work file and a finished packaged version on a separate drive. I have also tried opening an older version before the latest changes with no luck.

    There are no error messages. It just starts loading it and then after a while, doesn't anymore. The book doesn't appear in the Open Recent list either even after several attempts and restarts. This is on an iMac Pro 2017.

    Reverting to version 19.5 and the book opens just fine.

    Fortunately the book is already being printed. So I guess I won't get fired. :)
