  1. Can't do long math in some Opacity text fields

    This is a very minor bug I ran into. In certain text fields that set an object's Opacity value, the character limit is 5 characters, which is not enough to do certain mathematical operations, like 12.5/2. If the value is a decimal number with two places, no math can be performed at all.

    The 5 character limit applies to the control that appears in the Control panel when selecting an object, and the control that appears in the Effects panel when selecting an object.

    The only field that allows enough characters to perform that operation is the one found in…

  2. Pages window isn't showing pages

    v 17.2
    With the new update, the Pages window/panel is not showing the pages in document. The panel is locked to the side in my workspace. When InDesign is opened the panel needs to be unlocked from side and click on Pages tab to have pages show below. Re-lock the panel and click on Pages tab to show document pages. Please fix. Thank you!

  5. Spell Check does not work after installing InDesign 15.0.2

    Dear Adobe Team,
    in our office we use In Design from several years without nothing problems.

    Yesterday we had updated the version 15.0.2. After that, the spell-check (we use the Italian language) don’t work if we import text in a existing document.

    But if we import text in a new document, the spell-check work without problems.

    Please can you help us?

  6. Important message about pasting text with endnotes appears at wrong time

    Pasting text with endnote(s) does not show a message. You instead get that message the NEXT time you paste an object, even if that object is not a text box containing endnote(s).

    There is also a grammar error in the message, where the word "and" should be ", which" — and there is no period at the end of the sentence.

    This has been in many versions of InDesign. I am using 17.1 now.

    Reproduce:
    - Copy text with endnote(s) to the clipboard
    - Paste text into a new thread
    - Text pastes properly; a new page is added for…

  8. picture skin tones colour change to red when I import JPEGs

    Since I updated to ID 17.1, some colours in pictures – especially skin tones of blonde people – turn reddish, when I import them as JPEGs. Please find below an example of the same picture, saved as JPEG and as TIF (in PSD the colours are identical).

  9. 추가 기능 건의

    윤곽선 만들기 기능에서,

    현재는 하나 하나 선택을 해서 윤곽선을 만들어 주고 있습니다.

    바로 이 부분에서,

    윗첨자로 바꾸어준 부분들이 많이 있을 때,

    이러한 윗첨자들을 한꺼번에 선택을 해서,

    한꺼번에, 윤곽선 만들기가 진행이 되어서,

    한꺼번에 윤곽선으로 만들어지는 기능이 있으면 좋겠습니다.

    이 부분이 가능해지도록 추가 기능이 설치되면 좋겠습니다.

    또 마스터 페이지 기능에서

    현재는 마스터 페이지 기능을 해체해서,

    한 페이지씩 윤곽선 만들기를 해 주고 있는데,

    이 부분에서도

    한꺼번에 윤곽선 만들기가 기능해지면 좋겠습니다.

  10. wrap shape

    Every time I use "wrap around object shape" -- and it's a box or shape I've created within InDesign -- it crashed InDesign. Thankfully, it recovers well. If it's on an imported shape or something I actually draw with the pen too, it works as it should. But the crashing when it's a rounded rectangle is frustrating. I have to remember NOT to use it or do the keep aways differently.

  11. Display Performance Issues

    InDesign 2022 is having issues with Display Performance that results in spinning wheels and instability.

    The only way to scroll successfully without locking up is to adjust the Display Performance settings under Preferences. On all previous versions, I have always had my settings to High quality. Now, the only way to be able to use the program without issue is to change the Raster and Vector settings to Proxy instead of High.

    I can continue working that way, but the result is that all my graphics are pixelated and grainy, making it near impossible to see what I am working…

  12. Share for Review - Public Recipients Still Can't Access Without Adobe Account

    I'm using InDesign version 17.0.1. Using Share for Review, I was able to chose Public and send invitations. The recipients received the e-mail from Adobe, but if the recipient is on a computer without an Adobe account, when they click the button to access the file, it doesn't open - it will just spin for several minutes then display a File Preview Error . The instructions I have for Share for Review said that choosing Public would allow users without an Adobe account to access the file, but this does not seem to be the case. I first tested this…

  14. Crash: Dynamic spelling with special word

    There is a crazy bug: when the dynamic spellcheck is active (German, Duden) and you are typing in a text frame hintereinanderherschlichen (it’s a German word) indesign crashed immediately.

    We don’t know why, but then, after the crash, and when the dynamic spell check is still active, InDesign crashes again when it tries to recover the document.

    Systems: Apple OS Montery, InDesign 2022 German

  15. New Animate palette bug

    In InDesign 17.1.0.50 OSX, the Animate palette is smaller than its tools !
    In my screen capture, you can see 3 right points (transformation center points) that are so on the left that I cannot click on them.
    Even if I enlarge the palette, the 3 right points are still unusable, and it is the same when I I save the workspace and restart InDesign

  16. My InDesign crashes when I use the quick apply shortcut (command enter).

    I use InDesign 17.1 2022 on M1 MacBook with macOS Monterey (all updated).

    Any document I'm working with, when I hit cmd+enter for quick apply, InDesign crashes. I've been sending crash reports but haven't got any feedback yet.
    it doesn't happen all the time but almost daily it crashes a few times like this.

  17. object size and position options doesn't work as expected for grouped objects

    Currently if you use the size and position options in the object styles panel, it applies the x,y position to all objects individually in a group rather than to the group itself.

    Anchored objects currently handle grouped objects in the correct way. This feels like a bug/oversight.

    Would expect a group of objects to behave as 1 rather than being each item being treated individually within a group

    Images attached of a group of objects before and after having a position applied via the size position object style option

  19. Swipe gesture not working in Android Chrome.

    Swipe gesture not working in Android Chrome.

    https://helpx.adobe.com/us/indesign/using/publish-online.html
    Among the contents of the above page, "Smoother page transitions with swipe gesture improvements" is specified.

    However, the swipe gesture function works normally in IOS-based browsers, but does not work in Android-based browsers (Chrome).

    Very inconvenient for Android based customers/clients.

    To go to the next page, touch the bottom of the screen to bring up the navigation menu/button that disappears every time, and then press the "next page button". The customer/client should repeat this behavior on every page.

    This is a very serious bug and must be fixed asap.

    I've tested it…

  20. spelling

    Hi, I just want you to reach out for me to the Developer team and Interface Design team of InDesign. Please tell them, that the spelling function on InDesign should undergo major improvements. It literally sucks. I've been using InDesign since 2007, and the web application, basically any, like Google, deepL, Grammarl, I think even OpenOffice... are much better. So in this matter, InDesign was never the first choice, more like the last.
    -The first major problem it is very counter-intuitive to turn it on and make it work.
    -the second, which describes the bug, I have changed my Spelling…
