  2. decimals after zero for baseline grid

    The pitch of the baseline grids being in pt, I want to be able to adjust my layout in millimeters to this grid. My conversion gives me a match of 7.0866pt for 2.5mm. However, indesign rounded this measurement from 7.0866 to 7.087. Perhaps it would be interesting to offer the possibility of increasing the possible decimals after the comma?

  4. 한글 입력 모드 인지, 영어 입력 모드인지, 알려주는 부분이 필요합니다.

    인디자인 프로그램 사용할 때,

    현재 한글 입력 모드인지, 영어 입력 모드

    알려주는 표시가 안보이는 것으로 보아서,

    이런 기능이 없는 것으로 생각하고 있습니다.

    인디자인에서 글자를 입력할 때,

    한글 모드 인지, 영어 모드 인지 표시가 항상 있어서,

    글자를 입력할 때,

    사전에

    어느 입력 모드 상태인지

    인식을 한 상태에서

    한글이나 영어를 정확하게 입력이 될 수 있도록

    이 기능이 보완이 되면 좋겠습니다.

  5. Menu et fonctions invisibles

    Lorsque je clique sur les fonctions d'InDesign dans le menu, les panneaux sont invisibles. Je ne les vois pas mais quand je clique plus bas, ça clique sur les options du panneaux.
    Même problème pour le click droit, rien ne s'affiche mais quand je descend et clique là où devrait apparaitre le menu, ça clique sur les fonctions.

    C'est très handicapant, je ne peux pas travailler.

  7. Shift scroll Horizontal ctrl scroll zoom

    On nearly every program I have ever used, Shift + scroll = horizontal scrolling, and Ctrl + scroll = zoom. I would like there to be a way to adjust this to make page navigation much faster and easier for me.

  10. Alttext missing when image is covering spine

    When you have a spread with an image that is partially covering both pages, the image gets split into two images when making the PDF. Even when adding alttext to the image, this alttext gets Applied only to the first/left half of the image. The part on the right page has no alttext and is not an artefact. This way you will allways end up with a rejected PDF in terms of Accessibility.

  11. Fenster nach Ruhezustand verschoben und kleiner

    Hallo,

    ich arbeite seit 2 Monaten mit Mac Studio und 2x Displaystudio 27 Zoll.

    Ich habe das rechte Display-Hauptfenster (1. ) festgelegt. Ich arbeite wie immer Adobe Programme Indesign Photoshop Co., deren Benutzeroberfläche bzw. Fenstern immer offen sind auch z. B. Internet Browser Safari auf linke Fenster platziert. Gesamtes System aktiviert nach 10 Minuten in Ruhezustand bzw. Bildschirmschoner, wenn ich mit dem Mac Studio nichts mache bzw. nicht arbeite.

    wenn die Display Studios /Mac Studio aus dem Ruhezustand aufgeweckt wird, sind die Fenster verschoben.

    Die Adobe Indesign, Illustrator oder Photoshop-Fenster z.B. das normalerweise am linken Bildschirm die volle Höhe einnimmt…

  13. Dropdown Menu "Type" Text Not Consistent

    Currently using v17.3 and I believe the "Find/Replace Font..." (under "Type" menu bar) should be with initial caps and not what I'm currently seeing. It should be the same style as "Find/Change", right?

    Checked with my fellow InDesign users and seems like it's only me.
    Anybody else has this issue?

    Thanks!

  15. keyboard shortcut

    Hello. keyboard shortcut do not work. I think it is due to the fact that the default set is devoted to windows and not to OS.
    Can you produce a Default ME.txt devoted to OS 12.1 ?
    Have you an other explaination ?

  17. In tagged PDF, selecting a tag highlights multiple paragraphs - Indesign/Acrobat Bug

    In an Indesign document, suppose a hyperlink exists in a line with shift-enter at the end of that line. In tagged PDF, the <p> tag of a paragraph that has hyperlink with shift-enter, highlights including the content of the next paragraph and leaving the tag of that next para empty.

    The same issue will not occur when we remove the shift-enter in that line and export the Tagged PDF.

    The hyperlink may be in single or multi-line.

    Attached sample PDF file and screenshots.

  19. Bug: When mapping styles to tags and overriding all parent page items text boxes resize on M1 macbook pro

    This bug only happens on my M1 Max MacBook pro. I have InDesign (17.2.1) fully updated to the latest version and my MacBook is also fully updated to the latest version. I have had this issue on previous versions since having the M1 mac. This also happens when overriding all parent page items.

    When I map styles to tags it resizes some of the text boxes. I have an iMac pro that I have tested this on and it doesn't happen. I have also had other people open it on various apple computers and it isn't an issue.

    I have…

  20. Multiple line hyperlinks tab out of order when exported to PDF.

    Hi there. For whatever reason, when I have hyperlinks that wrap to a new line in InDesign, Acrobat tabs through them in the reverse order when exported as a PDF. Here is an example:

    [Let's say this sentence is a hyperlink that
    has wrapped to a new line.]

    When exported to a PDF, the tab order starts at [has wrapped to a new line.] then tabs to [Let's say this sentence is a hyperlink that]. And it continues that method throughout the piece. This is with tabbing set to document structure. If I set the tabbing method to "row", it…
