Wondering why indesign Character & Paragraph side panels don't work anymore and are blank.
Why indesign Character & Paragraph side panels don't work anymore and are blank. This is very annoying and sometimes is fixed when you close out the program and reboot but that only works when the stars are aligned correctly.

Apple's Spoken Content not functioning in InDesign 19.2
I use Apple's Spoken Content to have my Mac read my documents back to me as a way of proof reading sections at a time for continuity and structure (something no spell check provides). When I highlight text I want read aloud and hit the keyboard commands for Spoken Content, the Mac reads the actual file name of the document! If I copy and paste the text into a .indd file for InDesign 18.5.1 and repeat the steps, it works correctly and reads my text out loud. It works if I open any .indd file that is not saved in…

Reading order of footnotes is incorrect for multi-column layouts
InDesign is not placing footnotes correctly in the reading order when generating accessible PDFs for layouts with more than one column. Instead of placing the footnotes at the bottom of the page's reading order, InDesign is placing them at the end of the first column, interrupting the reading order.
Also, after correcting the reading order by placing the footnote(s) at end, Acrobat reports a 'Tagged Annotations - Failed' error for the footnote or the first footnote in a block of footnotes when it is a hyperlink.

portrait mode - Whether at 125% or 100% the Indesign Interface scaling option under Preferences does not work.
BUG DETAILS- On a Monitor that is setup in a Portrait configuration, whether at 125% or 100% display scale in Windows Settings, the Indesign Interface scaling option under Preferences does not work.
Adobe is a publishing software, especially InDesign. Book Publishers and their graphic design team need to have the option of working in a monitor setup in a Portrait configuration for the purpose of full vertical page (height) dimensions. I cannot get Indesign to Scale the Interface at all under Preferences when monitors are set in Portrait configuration. This is a bug because the InDesign interface does scale (as…

Scrollbar is hidden upon defocusing the InDesign window
Upon defocusing the InDesing window, the scrollbar disappears.
This issue is creating usability problems - working on 2 monitors, clicking on the other monitor to grab some image or text, then trying to return to InDesign by clicking the scrollbar to scroll to the desired position does not work. Instead, randomly clicking the empty scrollbar randomly scrolls to the left or to the right.
Whoever had the idea to hide the scrollbars had a very bad decision. None of known apps are hiding the scrollbar upon defocus, also, hiding the scrollbar has absolutely no benefits, just drawbacks.
Please stop hiding…2 votes -
Half of the Tools Don't Work!!
This issue used to only happen sparingly and now its happens almost every time i try to use InDesign — making a 5 min edit take over an hour!
Here are the common uses I experience...
- I can't click on the bottom that lets you toggle from preview and regular mode, I have to right click it
- Changing a color gets very glitchy, doesn't actually change the color to what I tell it to, just says the same
- Can't click on the toggle to get the shape tool
- When I click export or "save as" literally…2 votes -

Click on Object export options (I assigned ALT+E) does not respond either from shortcut key or from menu, therefore unable to assign alternative text, any structure instructions for export to accessible pdf. Using latest version and only a problem since new licence deal signed with NSW DPI.

Slow
Please fix bugs in the latest update. The INDD has become so slow, and became pretty much unusable.
This is affecting my work productivity (on Windows) big time.1 vote -
Use of Paragraph Rules results in untagged PDF path elements
InDesign 21.1
Action: Apply Paragraph Rule
Expected Result: Rules are tagged as artifacts when exporting to PDF
Actual Result: The resulting path gets included in tagging, but is not tagged as an artifact. This results in errors when auditing for WCAG 2.1 compliance.

Holding Alt to zoom causes menu issues
I'm surprised this hasn't been fixed since it's been an issue for an incredibly long time on Windows machines. Please add an option to zoom when scrolling without the need to hold the alt key. It causes navigation issues with the InDesign menu making navigation extremely clunky.

Recurring connectivity issue with InDesign
Hi Support Team,
We are experiencing a recurring connectivity issue with Adobe InDesign. The same error message has appeared again, and I’m unable to open the program. My internet connection seems to be working properly, so I don’t believe that’s the cause of the problem.
My Adobe membership/subscription is still active, and all other Adobe applications are functioning normally. This suggests that the issue isn’t related to the license itself.
Could you please advise on what might be causing this and how to resolve it?

Game
En cherchant un nouveau site de jeux en ligne à tester, je suis tombé sur plinko app et j’ai découvert qu’ils offrent des bonus exclusifs pour les joueurs venant de France. J’ai commencé par la roulette, juste pour voir, et après quelques tours tendus, j’ai décroché un joli gain. Depuis, c’est devenu mon petit moment de détente quotidien, parfait pour mêler frisson et relaxation après le travail.

Accessible alt text for hyperlinks needs to be supported by scripting
With InDesign scripting, it's possible to search for "searchTerms" from one column of a tab-delimited file, then set corresponding hyperlinks from another column. This means I can set hundreds of hyperlinks in just a few minutes. However, it remains impossible to set the hyperlink's alt text with a script — that function isn't scriptable. So either I ignore this important accessibility requirement (not an option), or I still have to manually edit each hyperlink, one at a time, wasting many hours and introducing the possibility of errors on each one.
For example, a document contains hundreds of product numbers or…

mass update of path for links in InDesign document
If you need to update the link on an InDesign document you have to manually go into the folder system and find the link, so it is only ever effective when you have all the links in one folder. This is detrimental to saving space in a workplace where you may want to use the same asset in different types of publications. In the Maya application from AutoDesk you can instead manually edit the text for the filepath, or even, change it to absolutes like $user$ which makes it far easier for sharing projects. Please can you enable this feature?
