1. findGrep() causes Indesign to hang and consume all available resources, eventually crashing the entire computer

   This code will cause InDesign 17.1 to hang and consume all available resources until the computer eventually runs out of both real and virtual memory and then crashes.

   app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
   app.findChangeGrepOptions.properties = { includeMasterPages: true, kanaSensitive: true, widthSensitive: true };
   app.findGrepPreferences = null;
   app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '^(.*)$';

   var found = app.documents[0].changeObject.findGrep();

   If the runaway app is terminated using Task Manager (Windows 10), a stack of message boxes appear with the following message:
   Unable to terminate process
   The operation could not be completed
   The operation is not valid for this process

2. V2022 - Museo Sans fonts not working after InDesign update

   I recently upgraded my InDesign on my PC, running Windows 10 Enterprise, from Version 2019 to Version 2022.

   After the update, my Museo Sans from Adobe fonts stopped working in Version 2022. I couldn't convert my InDesign file back to 2019, so I ended up pulling it into a Mac environment and re-saving successfully from V2021 to an IDML file and re-opening it in InDesign V2019 on my PC. The fonts are visible in the newly re-opened V2019 file.

   I've included screen shots of what I see in V2022 (most Museo Sans text missing) and V2019 (all Museo Sans text visible).

   How can I fix this issue in V2022 on my PC?

5. Ajouter une fonctionnalité "État d'objet" pour les objets non imprimable en pdf intéractif

   Est-il possible d'ajouter une fonctionnalité sur indesign permettant de rendre un objet (exemple : lignes noirs sur un formulaire interactif) non imprimable lors de l'impression de ce document. Donc attribuer à cet objet un "état à l'impression" dans un sens comme dans l'autre.

   Une fonctionnalité qui permettrait à une entreprise de remplir son document interactif de type formulaire et si elle souhaite l'imprimer sur son copieur, que celui-ci sorte proprement sans les petits lignes. Ou à l'inverse que les lignes ne s'affichent pas en pdf intéractif mais à l'impression s'imprime pour permettre de compléter le document à la main.

6. publish online mobile

   InDesign 16.4

   When i publish a document using 'publish online' it doesn't work correctly on mobile. When you first load it up on mobile the navigation bar at the bottom is there, but if you click anything on the page the navigation bar disappears. This then means you can't navigate through the rest of the brochure.

   I've tried this on multiple mobile browsers including Chrome, Edge & Brave and the same happens on each.

   This is a major issue for us as a lot of people will want to view this document on mobile.

   I've attached a couple of screenshots

   Thanks

7. imported excel number spaces are replaced with an 'Ê' on Mac

   I'm on a Macbook pro M1, working on an InDesign file. I get some XLSX files with tables containing numbers in them, and when I place them into my document, all spaces between numbers are replaced with an 'Ê'.

   e.g. 123 456 789 will be placed as 123Ê456Ê789.

   I've asked someone to test it out on windows and it does not happen. I belive it is a IOS issue only....?

8. InDesign will not work with documents downloaded from Google Drive.

   InDesign 17.1 does not display images in documents downloaded from Google Drive, which was previously my regular work process. The list of images in "Links" does not show any alerts that any image is missing. When I re-link an image, it does display in the document, but the program does not automatically re-link any of the other images in the same folder.

9. Random missing text which does not affect the PDF output

   Greetings,
   Please compare the two screenshots that I've posted. One is a shot from InDesign, and the other is a screenshot from the PDF output of the same text. As you can see there are some missing lines in when I look at the text in InDesign.
   Some notes:
   1) It always happens with list items (bullet lists, numbered lists)
   2) The random missing text parts changes as I change the magnification (zoom) level
   3) It happens on all my documents
   4) I haven’t changed anything recently. No InDesign updates, etc.
   5) The font used is Minion Pro and supplied by Creative Cloud
   6) When the problematic list is a large one, it takes significant processing power to scroll or zoom over it and InDesign becomes unresponsive.

   Version 16.4 x86

   Thanks,
   Kasra

10. Style Mapping to [Basic Paragraph] doesn’t work with remembered settings or presets

    When you place (import) a Word document into InDesign, you can choose to use Style Mapping to map the paragraph and character styles in Word to their equivalents in your InDesign document. When you use this feature for the first time in a document, the mappings get stored somewhere and are remembered for any subsequent imports you perform in the same document; you can also choose to save your import settings, including Style Mappings, as a preset to use freely in any document.

    If you map any Word styles to the default [Basic Paragraph] style in InDesign, it works as expected the first time (when you actively select [Basic Paragraph] from the dropdown menu). But if you do another import where InDesign reads the Style Mappings from a file – either by using the cached Style Mappings that InDesign has remembered from last time, or by using a saved preset – any style that is mapped to [Basic Paragraph] will not work properly. Instead of mapping the Word style to the existing, built-in [Basic Paragraph], what happens is that a second paragraph style is created with the name [Basic Paragraph], and with properties (font, size, etc.) matching the formatting of the Word style, rather than the built-in [Basic Paragraph] style. This should not even be possible, since you end up with two styles that have the exact same name, but it happens nonetheless (see screenshot).

    In order to avoid this, you have to go into Style Mappings and re-select all instances of [Basic Paragraph] manually. Notably, when you open the Style Mappings window, the mappings all look correct, but when you click on [Basic Paragraph], the dropdown menu doesn’t open like it does normally – the text “[Basic Paragraph]” just disappears and the selection field becomes empty. You then have to click a second time for the dropdown menu to open.

    This bug has been present for several years (unsure how long). It is present in both Windows and Mac versions of InDesign.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Create a Word document and type some text in any paragraph style (the default “Normal” will do)
    2. Create an InDesign document and place the Word file; make sure “Show Import Options” is selected
    3. In the Microsoft Word Import Options window, select “Customise Style Import” and click on “Style Mapping”, then map the style used in the Word document to [Basic Paragraph]; click OK twice and click somewhere in the document to import the text
    4. Place the Word file again in the same way, using the cached Style Mappings which InDesign automatically remembers without changing anything (you can even deselect “Show Import Options” and skip that part entirely)

    Actual Result:
    After the second import, your document has two paragraph styles, both named “[Basic Paragraph]”, see screenshot. One is the built-in default style; the other is an erroneously created doublet and has the little ‘arrow-into-a-box’ icon to show that it is an imported/auto-created style. The text imported the first time is styled with the built-in [Basic Paragraph] style; the text imported the second time is styled with the imported ‘parasitic’ [Basic Paragraph] style.

    Expected Result:
    After the second import, there is only one paragraph style in the document, the built-in [Basic Paragraph] style. All the text in the document, both that imported in the first import and that imported in the second import, is styled with this built-in [Basic Paragraph].

    Any Workarounds:
    Every time you place a Word file, always enter the Style Mapping window and manually reselect [Basic Paragraph] from the dropdown menu for all styles that map to this style. Alternatively, after importing the file, delete the ‘fake’ [Basic Paragraph] style and when asked what to do with the text, select the real [Basic Paragraph] style to replace it.

    When you place (import) a Word document into InDesign, you can choose to use Style Mapping to map the paragraph and character styles in Word to their equivalents in your InDesign document. When you use this feature for the first time in a document, the mappings get stored somewhere and are remembered for any subsequent imports you perform in the same document; you can also choose to save your import settings, including Style Mappings, as a preset to use freely in any document.

    If you map any Word styles to the default [Basic Paragraph] style in InDesign, it works as… more

15. Link Your Canon Printer to Wifi Wirelessly

    The first step in connecting a Canon printer to WiFi is to locate the Wifi button on the printer. You can double-check the button by consulting the handbook that came with your printer. Now press and hold the Wifi button until you see the Wifi lamp begin to flash blue. Release the Wifi button when the Wifi lamp flashes two times. Go to your access point and hit the WPS push button to continue with the Canon printer wireless setup. The printer will then begin to display the Connecting status, indicating that it is looking for your router. The Wifi and power lamps continue to blink while you search. The Connected status will appear on the printer screen once the WPS router has been recognised. In addition, both the power and the Wifi lamp will light up and remain stable. https://bestprintersetup.com/cannon-printer-setup

18. Damaged File message

    I'm getting the same error message "file is damaged when trying to create new ICML files. There seems to be a bug in the latest update. InDesign saves a recovered file and that seems to fix the problem. BUT the file is not damaged, it seems to be a bug in the latest update. Can you guys take a look.
