  1. Błąd eksportu do PDFa

    Chcę zgłosić błąd w oknie eksportu do PDFa.
    Wpisując przypadkowo zakres stron 110-101 InDesign wiesza się.
    Taki błąd nie jest rzadkością, więc to okno powinno być na nie odporne :-)

  3. Hyperlink window causing crash/lockup

    Hello,

    I'm working on a file from February 2020 that contains hyperlinks. Every time I click to use the Hyperlink window to edit/update urls my InDesign locks up. However, when I try this in a new file I created in December, I'm not having any issues with the hyperlinks window/tool.

    I'm using the latest version of InDesign CC (16.1).
    I open the file, click the Hyperlinks window and the program locks up to where I have to force quit.

    (Not sure if it matters - I'm adding this comment from my Mac, but I'm trying to do this work on…

  4. Error code: 3 - Cannot save <filename>. The file <DBTMPxxxxxxx> is damaged.

    Ever since I updated my system to Mojave 10.14.6, I have been getting an "error code: 3" warning when saving my file in InDesign 16.1.0.20. Tried doing a "Save As" and adjusting the file name slightly, but nothing I've tried has worked yet. I have had to save an IDML and revert to InDesign 15.1.3.

  5. US English dictionary no longer picking up UK English words as misspellings

    I'm running 16.1. My colleagues are running 16. In neither version does the US English dictionary mark 'maneouvre', 'modelling', 'utilise' and 'organise' as misspellings even though they most certainly are.

  6. InDesign 2021 doesnt load 2020 inDesign files correctly - all the fonts and images are missing and uneditable

    Every time I try to open my 2020 files in 2021, the images and font are missing from the document. the fonts are installed but for some reason text and images just are missing from the converted file.
    The first attached file is a screenshot of what the document looks like in inDesign 2021. The second attachment is what the file is supposed to look like, and does in 2020

  7. last window size unremembered when application frame turned off

    InDesign on Mac 16.102 will not remember last open document size when Application Frame is turned off. When no document is currently open and I want to open a new document it always fills the entire space on my monitor between the tools on the left and the pallets on the right. I have to manually drag the new document window to the size I want. It's not convenient and user friendly! If the Application frame is turned on - it WILL remember. But as a Mac user I want that frame turned off - like it used to be.

  9. Linking a CMYK Illustrator .AI file in an CMYK InDesign imports colors as RGB

    When importing a CMYK Illustrator file in a CMYK InDesign document it converts the colors to RGB.

    This happens in InDesign 2020, 15.1.3. Not certain how long this has been an issue. We recently had to change our links in many files from .AI to EPS / PDF files.

  11. Every time I try to save an InDesign file my Macbook Pro Crashes to Black

    Every time I try to save an InDesign file my Macbook Pro Crashes to Black. Files seem to be recovered upon reboot, but reboot takes a while - especially when you save a dozen times a day or more.

  14. Shortcut duplicate is still not working under BigSur on MacBook Air (M1)

    This is a very often used shortcut, so it is quite uncomfortable to work without. When will it be fixed?

  17. Selecting 'Save as' from drop-down – nothing happens

    Using InDesign 16.0.2, opened a local .indd file, made an iterative change and selected 'Save As' to create a derivative file. Nothing happened, no save dialog box at all. I quit InDesign and relaunched, and that seemed to clear the problem. This has happened at least once before in the last month. Though that might have been in the previous build before the most recent InDesign update (18days ago). The app wasn't frozen or inactive in other ways, it just wouldn't let me 'Save as' until I relaunched the app. So no crash report to send on. I use the…

  18. InDesign 2021 (16.0.2) file corrupted dialog

    InDesign 2021 states on save that the file is corrupted but its correctly on the network share (Acronis Files Connect). InDesign 2020 didn't had any problems with this.
    On a side note: Why is it not possible to download the Update 16.1 as release a few days ago?
