Shadow with Registration color BUG
Якщо на сторінці є обьєкт зі спотовим кольором, наприклад з пантоном, і у будь-якого іншого обьєкта є тінь з кольором регістрейшн, то цей спот-колір потрапить у тінь. Таким чином на сепараціях окрім 4 каналів, які відображають цю тінь, зьявиться додатковий, у якому теж зьявиться зображення тої самої тіні.
Після перевірки я побачив, що те саме стається не тільки з тінню, а й з іншими обьєктами, що мають колір регістрейшн. Висновок: Індизайн вважає, що регістрейшн містить не 4 ЦМІК канали, а ВСІ фарби, що є у документі, включно зі спотовими. У попередніх версіях Індизайну такого не було.1 vote -
group size error when turning page
Create a group of objects, for example, a text block plus a rectangle, and also the same rectangle separately. Then create a new page and rotate it 90 degrees in the page management window. Copy your group and the individual rectangle from the old page and place it on the flipped one. Now enter new dimensions, for example 100 by 10 mm for the group and for the rectangle. The individual rectangle will get the correct dimensions, taking into account the fact that the page is rotated 90 degrees. However, the group will have an error - the vertical dimensions…

ungrouping error
If you copy a group of objects to another layer in InDesign, and then ungroup it, those objects disappear. But what actually happens is this: take the group on layer 1, copy it to layer 2, ungroup it. They will disappear from layer 2 and appear on layer 1 UNDER the group object on the original layer 1. And you can turn off the visibility of layer 1 or even lock it completely before ungrouping the objects on layer 2, but what will happen is that the objects will be moved to layer 1 from layer 2 and hidden under…

InDesign – open dialog – file types selection – INDD, PDF
I am used to InDeign allowing me to open ONLY native files. I always keep InDesign files with pdf-s (named exactly the same) in one folder. Since InDesign is able to open / convert pdf files I often open pdf instead of indesign file, which makes my job much harder and more frustrating, than it needs to be.
Problem is that in file types section of the dialog I cannot select only indd files (which should be default option). Please, fix it! Thanks!!!

Unresponsive Panel Icons & Graphical Overlap when Importing Illustrator Files
- Panel UI Issue:
Issue: Double-clicking icons in the collapsed right panel does not activate them. Shortcuts also fail to open the panels.
Current Workaround: Panels only open when clicking the small '<<' (Expand) icon at the top of the dock.
- Illustrator Import/Update Issue:
Issue: When importing or updating an .ai file, InDesign occasionally displays a "ghost" image where the previous version and the updated version overlap.
Current Workaround: I have to delete the link and re-import the file from scratch to fix the display.
Environment:
OS: Windows 11 (또는 사용 중인 OS)

Bug Hyperlink character style applied
When copy/pasting a text frame, and the text frame contains a hyperlink without a character style applied, in the new pasted frame the hyperlink has the Hyperlink character style applied. Do not change formatting when copy/pasting text frames.

Textrahmenoptionen
Was ich in InDesign vermisse: es gibt zwar ein Konturwerkzeug auch für Textfelder, aber keine Möglichkeit, eine Zierlinie am Textfeld unten anzubringen. Ich habe in Handbüchern nichts gefunden. Es geht darum, nicht komplette Umrandungen zu erstellen, sondern eine Zierlinie am unteren Rand. In den beigefügten Dateien sehen Sie ein Beispiel von MS Publisher.

Text disappears.
Entire page of text disappears randomly. InDesign provided a temporary fix and then a more permanent one in the most recent update. Worked for awhile. Has started happening again. Have to use revert key to get back text and start over.

Problem: user-specific overprinting
Hello,
since version 2026, user-defined overprinting no longer works.
The following error message appears when printing: Printing error: The Adobe print engine could not output its data due to an unknown problem.
It works perfectly fine from InDesign 2025 (on the same computer/operating system).
What can be done?
Thank you

Preflight not showing all results
I have a custom profile set up for preflight checks and although 614 problems are reported, in 2 categories, I can only see about the first 100 of each category. For example, the color space issues are shown only up to page 15, while my document has 180 pages. I am using InDesign 21.0.2.

My InDesign is 'behaving'
My Indesign is "behaving." I don't know if some kind of AI has been installed, but it keeps trying to anticipate what I want it to do rather than doing what I want it to do. And it defaults to other functions when I use a different function (i.e. defaulting to text when I am using move to move a text box). Or it'll expand or contract a box when I select it to manipulate it. How do I make it stop? Or, at the very least, how do I turn off the AI?

Deformation under proportional scaling
We have a "round box" object. The dimensions along the x and y axes are the same. The page is in "rotated by 90°" mode. I move this circle to a corner so that it partially extends beyond the dimensions of the page. Then we scale it while holding down the shift key. At the same time, smart guides are turned on. The edges of the circle begin to deform, trying to stick to some reference line. As a result, the dimensions of the circle along the axes become unequal. The difference is only after the decimal point, but it…

Not loading cloud links > files don't work!!
I'm sorry for this words, but I'm really ****** with the new update on indesign:
I'm sorry but the new Update for Indesign is total ****. It's not loading my links from cloud servers and also I cannot update it via the program. So I have to start searching EACH document in the file (are you totally crazy???) to find out which link is missing because it's on a cloud server. I don't know what you did there. But everybody right now is working with cloud servers and it cannot just me going crazy right now because the files aren't…
