Data merge problem - InDesign does not load CSV file with accented symbols
If in InDesign 19.0 I use the CSV format with the East Europe character set in the data merge, then I can merge data with Czech accents without any problems. However, in Version 19.4 and above, I cannot do this. I have not been able to solve the problem and the data loaded has missing symbols. The only solution I have found so far is to install InDesign version 19.0, where the data merge works correctly.

Sharing InDesign Library files (*.indl)
Sharing InDesign Library files (*.indl) with others on my team.
I spoke with InDesign "folks" at the recent Adobe MAX conference in Miami, FL, and they suggested using the CC Library to share these files, but they are not allowed to be posted. This was the suggestion given to me at the conference/convention.
I need to be able to share access to these files (I have several libraries), but if I'm using InDesign, others can't even open them, much less get the content within.

Export to HTML5 - options cannot be accessed
In the new Indesign there is this HTML5 export advertised. So I gave a try. But it is quite unfinished. I attached a screenshot - a dialog appears on the top of the export options panel, due to this the export options cannot be accessed. Closing the top dialog automatically starts the export process. Clicking "Cancel" cancels the main dialog as well.

Latest instead of the earliest version required in N-2 policy
Indesign 2024 is buggy on my 27" iMac running mac OS Big Sur. 2025 is not compatible. So I use 2023. Just after the introduction of ID2025, Indesign and Creative Cloud stopped working for some reason and after cleaning my system of Adobe files to have it running again, I only have access to 18.0 instead of the leatest 18.5.X. Why do we only get the earliest version 18.0 and not the latest version of the N-2? Can we get the most recent N-2 version? Thank you.

InDesign v19.5: Data Merge Problems with Diacritical
InDesign v19.5: Data Merge Problems with Diacritical
I wanted to use "Data Merge" again after a while, but I found that it no longer works as it did in the previous version (v18). In the old version (v18), "Data Merge" worked correctly with diacritics, but in the current version (v19.5), it does not, and it's definitely not a font issue (I’ve tried all of them). The ".csv" file is exactly the same as the one used before, and when I use the old version, everything works as it should. The problem occurs with certain characters, such as "Š", "Č" and…

Auto tag XML Broken
1) InDesign 19.5 Swedish version

Arabic: wrong character order
Arabic: wrong character order
As of InDesign version 19.2, numbers together with certain characters display incorrectly. Before version 19.2, in case you have e.g. 30% (in English), this should display as %30 in Arabic. As of 19.2, I have to add a right-to-left marker to have the right output; otherwise it will be displayed as 30%. Consequence is that in case linguists don't add the marker, all numbers or sequences display incorrectly.
This is very error prone.1 vote -
Hilfe - PDF in deutsch
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
meine Meldung an den Support wurde sofort bearbeitet. Leider kamen wir auf das Ergebnis, dass die Hilfe - PDF leider nicht auf u.a. "deutsch" vorgehalten wird.
Vom Support konnte ich direkt die links bekommen, diese waren alle nur in englisch erhältlich.
Mein Problem,...
da wir eine JVA sind und die Strafgefangenen keinen Internetzugang haben, kann ich diesen, zur Optimierung ihres Wissens, keine Literatur an die Hand geben die im Internet vorgehalten wird.Wir benötigen die Hilfe-PDF in deutsch für folgende Programme:
- Indesign
- Photoshop
- Illustrator
Vielleicht gibt es ja in Zukunft eine Lösung…1 vote -
Windows 10 / InDesign 19.5 x64 - Text Frame and Zoom Window Problems
When attempting to use the Text Tool to creat a text frame by using the click / drag / release method either nothing happens (99% of the time), the text frame is invisble (I confirmed a text frame was created by viewing 'Undo Create Text Frame'), the release of the mouse pointer occurs on its own.
Expected result: create a text frame in a single movement: left click the mouse on a location, drag while the mouse button is held down, release the button to create a text frame
Actual result: 99% of the time nothing
When using the click…

text color not showed in track change
In the Story Editor, when Track Changes is activated, there are 3 types of visual indicators for change: text color, background color, and marking. In practice only the marking and the background color work, while the text color is always displayed in black. Attached is a screenshot.

Bug in Indesign 19.4 & 19.5
System: Mac Studio, M2 Ultra, Sonoma 14.6.1Hyperlinks to text anchors in separate interactive pdfs not working Indesign 19.5 & 19.4.
1. create two pages with text anchors at the top. each page has two buttons, one leading the the other pdf (see files attached) each doc exported as Interactive PDF. In abode Acrobat (or any pdf reader) when you click the button it will not open the linked document.
This feature does work in Indesign 19.3. But I would like to be able to update to the latest versions....1 vote -
Recent files pulling in recently placed files instead of recent INDDs
When right-clicking the Indesign icon in the taskbar, the recent files shown are all files I recently placed in docs, instead of indesign files I was actually working on. I definitely did not open these in indesign.
See screenshot.

icon
.indd files are not showing up with icons in File Explorer. We have tried verifying default program for file extension, icon file path in the properties, updating graphics drivers, verifying the registry values, Revo uninstalling and then reinstalling, clearing Windows shortcut cache, but nothing is making the .indd files appear with the correct icon. We are using InDesign 2024 installed through Creative Cloud on Windows 11.

GDI Handles
Indesign 19.5 x64 does not cleanup GDI Handles on Windows 10 build 19045.4529, version 22H2.
This only occurs when the feature 'Turn on Overprint Preview' is enabled, and you start scrolling. When you disable that feature, you can scroll again without the GDI Handles being hogged by Indesign. The handles rae, after the feature is disabled, not released.
A 28 page project, and a scroll up and down trough the project, costed me almost 600 GDI handles, and when I'm at 10.000, Windows just stops serving new ones and Indesign will crash.
Expected outcome: GDI Handles do either not increase…

Hide Frame Edges
I'm working on Windows 11. I'm not sure what the InDesign version is but I just bought it two days ago.
Everything has been smooth so far but when I needed to hide the Frame Edges I met this issue. From what I found out there are two options: View > Extras > Hide Frame Edges or simply Ctrl + H
Neither case worked.

style from word not recognised
When I, in a word document linked to Indesign add a style which begins with the name of anther style, followed by a comma (no space) and more text, InDesign does not recognise that this is a new style but instead treats it (and calls it) by the other (shorter) style name. Workaround is to e.g. use an underscore instead, but it took me quite a while that is was this issue that caused the strange indesign behaviour.

Files won't open
Trying to open some files from File Explorer or within InDesign: Adobe Creative Cloud message states: "InDesign could not open "[file name]" because it has been created in a newer version - Adobe InDesign 19.4. You can convert and open this file but you may lose out on content created using the features specifgic to the latest versions. For the best experience, we recommend updating InDesign to the latest version." I am always updated since I use the auto-update feature for all products. If I attempt to use the "Update" link provided I get this message: "You're up to date!".…
