  3. Nach jedem update gehen Verknüpfungen verloren

    Es ist ein Graus! Seit ewigen Zeiten gehen nach jedem Update (aktuell 18.4) in jedem Dokument jegliche Verknüpfungen verloren. Gerade bei umfangreichen Dokumenten, die Verknüpfungen aus vielen verschiedenen Ordnern enthalten, ist das schier untragbar! Dieser Arbeitsaufwand ist nicht nur zeitintensive, sondern auch nervenaufreibend, und müsste in meinen Augen auch programmiertechnisch behoben werden.

  6. Import PDF Comments not supported

    We are using InDesign CC 2022 version in production and try to import the comments from the PDF which created using the same Indesign file. But we encountered the alert as "PDF is not created from InDesign. Select another PDF to continue". Please check and suggest. Sample files are attached for reference.

  8. Numbers keys on extended keyboard not recognized when trying to fit window e.g.Ctrl+0.

    Numbers keys on extended keyboard not recognized when trying to fit window e.g.Ctrl+0.
    InDesign should have the same fit to window or 100% functions as Illustrator or Photoshop.
    The only thing that does work on the extended numeric keypad is the + and - keys.
    WHY?????

  10. Cross References between files in book dependent on position in cross reference list

    I have a Glossary book with 27 files (one for each letter of the alphabet plus one for numbered items). Each page of the book uses a parent page (*) located in file A which contains a bar with cross refs for each of the files so users can easily navigate. I set the cross refs in the bar to each of my files in the A file, then synchronize the parent pages to update the remaining 26 files.

    When I go to B file, my cross ref palette shows that my A cross ref needs to be updated, and…

  12. Files on home screen after update to 18.4 have wrong modification date

    I updated InD to 18.4 yesterday and today noticed that all the files on the home screen display the same modification date (on the screenshot there is only one with different but this is because I opened it for test purposes). Some of the files on my home screen has been not opened for a few weeks--I was working only a few files recently. Some files are on the network drive, some are saved locally to Creative Cloud folder--there's not much in common.

  13. Optimize Indesign for Ultra Chipset

    Please optimize Adobe Indesign / Acrobat for the Apple M1 / M2 Ultra Chipset. We work with huge files with several big images, but when we check the activity of the unit, it only uses only half of the cores and the machine is far away from the limit. But still just export a pdf or reload some images take super long time.

  14. Overprint white text when color changed in stylesheet

    When changing color to 'Paper' on a selected text – it automatically is set to not overprint (correct behaviour).
    However if you change the color in a stylesheet, from a color with overprint, to 'Paper'. It will remain on overprint.
    Also the checkbox gets greyed out. So to fix it you must choose another color, uncheck overprint, then go back to 'Paper'.

  15. Problem with "Honor Text Indents in addition to Text Wrap" turned ON and using the indent-to-here character at the same time

    InDesign version 18.2.1, I searched but couldn't find the same issue anywhere else, so I report it here. Attached is a PDF file with the problem. Description is as follows.

    There are 3 paragraphs of text, the middle one in black color to be clear. "Honor Text Indents in addition to Text Wrap" is ON.

    Needless to say that NO yellow frame has any runaround applied to it. They are there for illustrative purposes.

    On the second (black text) paragraph, everything is just OK. The paragraph has a 20 mm left indent and the runaround of the red frame is…

  16. Gros bug d'affichage

    Bonjour, j'ai un bug d'affichage intermittent sous InDesign que je constate depuis plusieurs versions (depuis au moins fin 2021) : lorsque j'appuie sur "w" pour passer du mode de l'écran "Normal" au mode de l'écran "Aperçu", j'ai parfois des aberrations graphiques qui m'empêchent de voir correctement la double-page et qui persistent jusqu'à ce que je revienne en mode "Normal".

  17. Greyed out screen when I open InDesign

    Help! I am desperate to figure out why this was happening. I recently cleaned out my computer library/cache to free up storage, then updated to InDesign 2023. For the past couple hours I keep getting this screen. Everything is updated, but I have no idea how to fix this.

  18. tool bars

    Tool bars do not appear when opening InDesign 18.0 CC 2023. I have to go to Window, turn on Show Application Frame, then flip that off to have my tool bars visible. This is the case in Photoshop and Illustrator 2023

  19. Creative cloud libraries tool displaying smaller than frame 2023

    The CC libraries tool panel appears at a reduced % of the actual window frame size. Sometimes it's usable (in tiny format) but other times you can't actually click on anything.

    Have uninstalled and reinstalled the software and the problem remains.

    Also for what it's worth it only started happening when I installed on my new PC laptop (no issue in same software version but on old laptop)
