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 -

Incorrect PDF Tagging for Tables Split Across Pages with Repeated Header Rows
When exporting a tagged PDF from InDesign, tables that span multiple pages and use repeated header rows are tagged incorrectly.
Instead of generating a single table structure, the exported PDF creates repeated <THead> and <TBody> elements within the same table:
<Table>
├─ <THead>
├─ <TBody>
├─ <THead>
└─ <TBody>This results in an invalid or semantically incorrect table structure for PDF accessibility.
Expected Behavior:
Option 1 (structurally correct, though not ideal semantically):
Each table continuation on a new page should be exported as a separate table:<Table>
├─ <THead>
└─ <TBody>
<Table>
├─ <THead>
└─ <TBody>Option 2 (preferred,…

Indesign struggling to do anything and lagging
I haven't had a problem with Indesign when I started using it, but the more I use it the more a pain it is being. I am a university student for graphic design and we need to use Indesign to create our portfolios. It started with a little lag when trying to scroll, but now I sruggle to get into the app, it takes hours and when I finally get in the app it takes more hours to open my portfolios. Once I am finally in my portfolio and want to start doing my work, even just moving the mouse…

InDesign paragraph borders and rules fail PDF/UA-1 accessibility (Unmarked Content Error)
Hello,
I would like to report a persistent PDF/UA compliance bug regarding Paragraph Borders and Paragraph Rules exported from InDesign 21.4.1.
[Description of the issue]
When using the built-in "Paragraph Borders" or "Paragraph Rules" features within Paragraph Styles, InDesign fails to correctly tag or artifact the generated vector lines upon PDF export, even when the export tagging for the style is forced to a specific tag (like H2 or P) and "Create Tagged PDF" is checked.As a result, tools like Adobe Acrobat Preflight (PDF/UA-1 validation profile) and axesCheck return a critical compliance error: "Content neither marked as artifact nor…

InDesign deletes alt text when updating images - STOP IT
Please stop removing alt text every time an image is updated. I worked for hours on that alt text and it has been completely deleted. More work for me now.

spinning wheel forever...
Observed behavior :
- Switching between tools is very slow (it takes several seconds before the selected tool becomes active).
- The application continuously displays the loading indicator (spinning wheel).
- The slowdowns occur consistently, even during simple actions such as switching tools.
- The application appears to be constantly running a background process and never returns to normal, responsive performance.

Microsoft Surface Laptop vergrößert alle Bedienelemente von InDesign weil InDesign denkt, es wäre ein Tablet (wegen dem Touch Panel)
Ich benutze ein Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 mit Qualcomm Plus ARM-Prozessor und die BETA-Version von InDesign. Beim Starten geht InDesign sofort in eine Touch-Oberfläche, weil es das Surface Laptop, das auch ein Touch-Display hat, fälschlicherweise als Tablet interpretiert. Dadurch sind alle Elemente um den Faktor ca. 500 vergrößert, so dass man keine Bedienelemente mehr erreichen kann und das lässt sich auch nicht abschalten. Ich habe eine KI gefragt, wie man das lösen könnte, aber alle Versuche scheiterten leider. Aus diesem Grund kann ich InDesign auf meinem neuen Surface Laptop nicht nutzen, obwohl ich es mir genau dafür für unterwegs gekauft…

Reading order of tagged PDF elements is unstable and resets when new elements are added
Description:
SummaryWhen creating an accessible tagged PDF from InDesign, the reading order of elements in the exported PDF becomes unstable and incorrect whenever new elements are added to an existing document. The only reliable workaround is to rebuild the document from scratch with elements placed in the correct reading order from the beginning.
Steps to reproduce
- Create an InDesign document with interactive form fields (text inputs and checkboxes).
- Set the reading order using the Articles panel ("Use for PDF tagging order").
- Export to tagged PDF and verify reading order with a screen reader — order is correct.
- Add new…

Exported Interactive PDF Does Not Match Reading Order
I've spend days establishing reading order in InDesign (reverse order in layers panel) but, when exported to interactive PDF, Acrobat is NOT matching this order.
I have a 200-page document with nine text-based buttons in addition to other content, all carefully arranged in order on multiple parent pages, then overridden on each page of the document (to avoid the form field error in Acrobat's accessibility tests). Now I have to go through each of the 200 pages in Acrobat and fix the order.
Despite this being report 'fixed' in InDesign 2020, it is most definitely not. When on earth are…

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.
