  4. Display error shows outdated editing status of text and text frames

    1. Version of InDesign:
      18.0 / 18.5 with macOS Monterey / Ventura

    2. Steps to reproduce the issues:
      Not possible, error occurs unpredictable. It seems that the error occurs when using documents with many text frames that are linked across several pages. CPU or GPU does not make a difference.

    3. Expected result:
      Display of the same editing status when toggling between guideline view and preview

    4. Actual result (when error occurs):
      One of the two view variants shows outdated editing status of text and text frames, sometimes guideline view, sometimes preview.

  5. Stile di carattere

    Non è una nuova idea. è un bug dall'ultimo aggiornamento. Se faccio una stringa di testo e seleziono stile di carattere ad esempio corsivo, tondo chiaro ecc. selezionando la singola parola e applico lo stile influisce sull'intera strinca a differenza della precedente versione che teneva lao stile solo sul testo selezionato pur nella stressa riga.

  6. Custom fonts in bold/black appears thin and bold in latest versions of InDesign and Photoshop

    Custom fonts in bold appears alternately as bold and thin in the latest version of InDesign (19.0.1) and Photoshop (25.1) I've tried deleting all apps and installing again, but it doesn't help. The problem only occurs in Adobe programs. Not in Word etc. It works fine, when I'm installing an older version of InDesign, fx 18.5.

    The font that is used is the Google font "Outline".

  7. Images are being flipped on InDesign 2023 > 2024 update

    As title describes, I have a file that is suitable for InDesign 2023 (18.5.0.57), when I open it in InDesign 2024 (19.0.0.151) some rare cases (twice in 1 day) there have been images that have been flipped upside down.

    Fortunately both times the client's have picked this up, I work for a print industry and send back PDFs for print approval. This is the final stage before print.

  10. Redefine style changes Grep Style

    When redefining a style based on changes to an existing style (and that existing style has a GREP style in use), the style parameters of the style or grep style are changed. Whereas, if you edit a style directly and apply the same changes, the grep style is unaffected. See video.

    In the 1st case in your video, you have applied a local override to the Style by changing. That's why you see a + in the name of the Style. When you Redefine that Style, the overrides go away and the Style gets redefined with the new attributes.


    However, in the 2nd case, you are Editing the Style directly by opening the Style dialog. So any changes you make in the dialog automatically becomes part of the Style itself and there is no need to Redefine it from the panel menu.


    It is working correctly.

  13. Incopy hyperlink Ok Button Grayed Out

    When trying to add a hyperlink to a page in InCopy, the Ok button is grayed out. All the other Link To Options appear to work fine, it is only the Page option that is graying out the Ok button.
    InDesign is allowing me to link it with no problem.
    I'm using InCopy & InDesign 2024, but also opened an old document that was done in the 2023 versions and noticed the same issue.

  14. Ocultar páginas

    Hola, con la nueva actualización de indesign, podemos ocultar páginas, y al exportar, estas no salen en el pdf. Esto está muy bien, pero ¿qué pasa si tenemos numeración automática y exportamos a pdf? pues que se mantiene la numeración y esto es un problema. Debería de haber una casilla de verificación o algo similar para que no enumere las páginas ocultas al exportar y así saldría perfecta la numeración sin saltar de páginas.

  15. Missing feature: Embed INDDs placed in an INDD

    So far, you can embed sort of all linked file types in an INDD, but not other INDDs. This should be possible to save a 100% fixed snapshot of a document.

  18. Fonts not previewing correctly when choosing different font from menu

    Running InDesign v19.0, but had exactly the same issue in previous versions -

    If I want to swap out an existing font for a new one in a text block in my project, the font does not preview instantaneously or correctly when I am scrolling through the Character menu. Sometimes, the font disappears completely, leaving only black blocks to preview. When I press return the text block does update to the new font but not being able to live preview is making it extremely hard to make design decisions and also see if the chosen font will fit the space…
