  3. Scripts

    When I updated to InDesign 2021 (V 16.0), all my custom scripts and their associated keyboard shortcuts were gone.

    I had to go into my Applications/Adobe InDesign 2020/Scripts/Scripts Panel folder and copy them over into that same folder in the InDesign 2021 folder.

    Not sure if it's happening across the board, but thought I'd point out my experience.

    Thanks.

  7. I can't change dictionary settings from German

    Hi – I have tried to change my (inherited) document spelling several ways to English (UK). It's saying in the all the right places that it's English (UK) but then when I spell check the document it's showing German 2006 reform. Can anyone help me change it, or is it a bug? Thank you.

  8. Script/Application/JS/Place MultiPage PDF

    When you import a file with a password ID requires password for each page of document.
    I think that should be correct to insert password only for the first page.
    Thank you

  9. Wrong links

    I've noticed that whenever a file with links is duplicated on a different server, the copy will link to the images of the original file instead of the ones in its own folder if it can. If those images are modified in the copy, the changes will also appear in the original links instead of the right ones.

    This is a huge problem, because what the user think is their most recent version of a work might not actually be at all, which can lead to very serious mistakes, and as far as I can tell it's been going on…

  10. page pallet

    1. Indesign 15.1.1 and earlier versions - English supporting Hebrew.

    2. When I create a document with binding right-to-left the page pallet numbers are blurry and hard to read this is not an issue when the document has binding left-to-right. See screen video and screen shot attached.

    I am using Windows 10 latest version, but this has been an issue for many year now

  12. 数値を入力するときにポインターで選択している数字がわからないんですけど

    cc2015から急に2020に飛んできたら勝手がわからないんですが、125Qを235Qにしたいとき、先頭の2文字だけ選んで12って打ちたいのに、選択してる文字が反転したりしないのでわかりづらいの私だけですか?

  13. Import specific pdf page with Data merge

    It could be interesting to include a specific page from a pdf into a data merge link and not only the page 1.
    It could be useful when we have a lot of pages in the pdf and only one image by page.

  14. WE MUST USE A SHARED SERVER

    Files can randomly corrupt when using a shared server? Every respectable business uses a shared server! We can't put confidential info on employee desktops as is recommended by Adobe because they can't support a shared server! At minmum if you can't support a shared server then make back up files which can be accessed if a file is corrupt. And no, your recovery option doesn't work when a back up file is corrupt. I've just missed a deadline, spent a ton of money on lost work and need to recreat all the lost work. Thanks Adobe........for nothing!!! Adapt to your…

  15. Button: Delete optional state and its content

    In the Button and Forms panel, the button [Delete optional state and its content] is always gray, it will not delete the selected button states.

    This is in ID2018, 2019, 2020 Mac & Windows. I have to go back to CS6 to see it working.

  16. essentials classic hyphenation missing

    I am using essentials classic as I always do, and when you select the paragraph section on the top bar, there's usually a hyphenation button which when clicked, stops it from being hyphenated, but its randomly gone, one second it was there, i pasted text into a text box and now it,s gone. Any clue how to fix this! I have found other ways of using it but the button still hasn't come back!

  17. Cross-Reference Character Width Incorrect

    When inserting a cross-reference, InDesign acts as if the character of the cross-reference are much wider than they are. In my example below, it forces the "8" to flow down to the next line, even though an 8 character clearly fits, and a line break is not necessary.

  18. Bug: InDesign Index page ranges not working when using "Next use of Style" options

    Adobe InDesign 2020
    15.0.2 x64

    Issue:

    I am trying to create index entries that include a page range (such as 26-29) instead of a single page number using paragraph styles.

    I am having trouble getting the page ranges for my indexed content to update correctly. Specifically, the index entry always only shows the first page of the range in the index pane on the first attempt.

    I can sometimes (but not always) trick it into updating the page range correctly. I attached a video of it finally working after five failed attempts.


    Here is what I tried:
