Preferences Reset after working with a large XML based file
I work with large XML files to create catalogs several times a month. This results in InDesign giving me a lot of "Continue without Undo" prompts anytime I do any action (even scrolling and zooming), so I save the file and quit InDesign. Upon reopening InDesign, it says that it cannot read my preference file and resets everything.
This is extremely frustrating, as while my workspace is saved, all of the character/paragraph/object styles, swatches, and program settings are completely wiped, as are all the tool tips and notifications. Barring being able to not have this problem occur regularly, is there…
1 voteThank you for providing the information. Just copy the preference and try the following workflow –
• Delete InDesign preferences
• Copy the InDesign corrupt preferences.
• Launch InDesign.
• An alert would come that the preference have been reset.If the above workflow works with the copied preference, Zip them and mail it to santalwa@adobe.com.

Numbering and section options
If you have multiple types of numbering options in one document, (say using Roman for your intro pages, and then convert to regular numbers for the main document) you can't change them even though the option is not grayed out in the Numbering and Sections Options dialogue box. If you click on it, it just reverts back to what the document started as and won't select that other numbering option.
Exact same document, and I (on 13.1) cannot change it, but my co-worker who has 13.0.1 can.

2018 Indesign/Incopy Check In Prompt On Close Does Not Actually Check in.
If we close Indesign or Incopy without checking in, the program will ask us if we want to. When we choose to check in, Adobe will act like it Checks In and then closes, but the changes are never saved back to the original file. Check In only works if we choose Check In manually before closing.

Thanks,

Wrong characters exported to PDF.
My InDesign-Document uses 1 font only. After exporting a PDF, some character-combinations are replaced by a special character (see Screenshot). After closing and re-opening the document, the error doesn't appear again and the PDF file is exported normally.

Find Glyph uses character style set in the Text tab
It's not possible to set a character style in the Glyph tab of the Find/Change window. But if you set a character style in the Text tab, the Glyph tab uses that style to limit the search scope.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start a new document, add a character style. (Doesn't matter what formatting you add to the character style.)
- Place a text frame and enter 'xx'.
- Apply the character style you added in step 1 to the first x.
- Set the character style in the Find Format field of the Text tab of the Find/Change window.
- Go to the Glyph…
1 voteHi,
In step 4, are you setting the find format field to be the character style you have created in step step 1?
If yes, then InDesign will only find those “x” which have the character style same as in the find format field (=character style created in step 1 and applied to only first x)
https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/find-change.htmlPlease can you elaborate a little more on the steps.

InDesign 2018 and High Sierra cannot export correct looking pdf
pdf will export but it exports a previously saved file. I even tried saving as a new doc and still it exports to the older art.
1 voteHi
Please provide the following information:
1. What version of InDesign CC (2018) are you using? Is it 13.0 or 13.0.1? You can verify this in the About box.
2. What do you mean by “it still exports to the older art”? Do the linked files used older linked graphics or the file itself is exporting to an older version of the file?
3. Is it specific to a particular file or is happening constantly with all the files?Also, please share the file with which you are seeing the issue, as a package with all links and fonts, at anasgupt@adobe.com

The killing of hard returns in ToC
This is a new feature with version 13 ... but (I think only on WIN machines) that can not be stored with the rest of the settings. After saving and creating a table of contents, the check mark is no longer set.

Indesign
I have updated from CC 2017 to CC 2018 and opened an existing 740 page book. This is an indesign book file .INDB with 25 chapters and numerous index entries.
When I view the index panel in CC 2017 all the entries are there. Screenshot index-cc2017
When I view the same files in CC 2018 the index panel is completely empty and there is no index at all. Screenshot index-panel2018

I rebuilt the preferences and the exact same thing happens. These screenshots were done after the pref rebuild when I noticed the problem.
