Variable font not working in Indesign.
Problem:
Variable font not working in Indesign.
Main problems with Monotype Helvetica Neue Variable, but sometimes others also cause problems.
(Note: via my Myfonts I received a new font-file and installed this - same problems - so it is not the font file which is broken…)
I discovered that the program/software/app Indesign itself is causing this problem - not only the variable function does not work any more - as soon as I try to use the variable function the whole document is not working properly: can't save, cant undo, etc !!!
This makes working with a variable font in…2 votes -
Export - Jpg - Page Size - Suffix
Love the new update where you can change the export options to include a specific Suffix, however could you remove the spaces between the sizes in the Page Size Suffix export? For example, 700 x 200 would be 700x200. This will help speed up the process in file naming as we can not have spaces in files names in any graphics for our websites.

Tools disappear in InDesign Beta
My tools that are supposed to be on the left side disappear sometimes. I close the app and open it again but still nothing. I'm using the normal InDesign now and it's working well. I'm using an Intel Mac.

Version 19.0 does not remember the document path for Save or Exporting to PDF
Since upgrading to v19, it does not default to the path of the original opened document when saving, and Export to a PDF file does not default to the directory of the InDesign document.
The default is you Documents folder.
This is not the first time an upgrade has caused this behavior.
PLEASE fix this !2 votesWhen we update from InDesign 18.5 to InDesign 19.0, the conversion of documents happen. The document is opened and the user needs to save it. We have to save the document and the same folder from where 18.5 document is opened will be seen. For export workflow without saving the document, export will point to Documents folder.

variable font bugging out in InDesign
I am using General Sans variable font in Indesign which has not stopped working properly after packaging the document and prepping it to print.
Some areas of the font are showing as Italics even though they are not and should not be and there is no way to change them.
After researching it looks like variable fonts are not ready to be used in all Adobe programs for a seamless process.

Converted linked InDesign document saved in last used folder, not folder where it lives
Steps to reproduce:
- Have an InDesign document with a linked InDesign document. That linked document is saved by an older version.
- Open linked document by Alt-double clicking.
- Save file. You are now presented with the last used folder, not the folder that the linked document lives in.
This USED to work fine.

dark interface &
Appearance dark theme not matching the settings or OS. I selected dark theme but pasteboard and window top bar light grey. It should be uniform dark.
Other issue is workspaces often does not show up after launching app requiring me to select a workspace other than my custom setting to show up on screen and only then can I select my custom workspace to have it show up. If I select my custom workspace right away after launch when no windows or tools show up nothing happens the screen stays without any panels or tools. Clearly a bug

Links palette issue
Hi there;
I'm encountering a bug with the "Links" palette. Specifically, for a long list of links, the "Link info" panel doesn't preview properly, but rather overlaps the main list of links. Similarly, if a link alphabetically appears towards the bottom of the list, it isn't possible to select it from the Links palette.
Hoping this can be fixed with the next INDD update?!

Adobe Indesign 17.3 (also happened in 17.4).
MacBook Pro (M1 2021). macOS Monterey v12.4Dropdown menus don't work. If you click, nothing happens, if you double-click the menu appears but, no sub-menus are available. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, tried 17.3 and 17.4, quit, restarted - all to no avail.
Indesign is unsuable with this bug, this requires Adobe's full attention!!!

Expected result: All data from range is imported, regardless of whether cells are blank or not.
Actual result: Error message reading: "Cannot convert document. An unknown error occurred during the conversion."
Unable to upload jpeg or GIF (not supported, apparently)!

Source Sans shifting down issue
Source Sans or INDD has changed from version 17.3 to 17.4. All of the type gets baseline shifted down when you create a new file or if you open up an existing INDD file with Source Sans. It all pushes down inside the text window.
Either an INDD problem or Source Sans coding has changed. Please resolve--its our house typeface.

Indesign - main navigation menu glitch
When I hover my mouse over any of the main nav items (file or edit or layout etc.). and click the menu does not appear. When I click a second time it appears but does not allow me to browse down to select any items - them menu items disappear as soon as I move my mouse. This happens on tool menu items too such as the links window menu. It doesn't do it all the time, but say 1 in 4 times I open indesign. Super frustrating - any one else have this bug/ issue?

Trackpad pinch to zoom stops working
I'm working on a new 2021 Mac and across all adobe programs pinch to zoom on the track pad will often stop working. I then have to turn the gestures settings on and off either within the app or on System Preferences (it varies on which one works) to reset it. Or I have to quit the app and restart, which is very disruptive to my workflow.
I am up to date in creative cloud as of today – 22/04/22
