Cross-references in a table breaks when moving table-cell.
When moving a table-cell that contains a cross-reference, it breaks and becomes a ”red flag”. What happens is that a text-anchor gets a "1" added to its name. A paragraph anchor just breaks.

flash 2020
With Flash ending in 2020. What is going to happen to the feature to export an interactive workbook?
I have tested and exported as an HTML but the site still asked me to use Flash. The look and interactive abilities where not there. It was a grey screen.
What is an alternative way to export an InDesign file to have the same abilities of an interactive workbook? (same look and interactive buttons)

translate
Very often I need to translate booklets that were designed in InDesign. Some booklets can be huge containing many text fields. Many translators request to send them the text in a MS Word file. Therefore, i have to copy-paste all the text text-box by text-box. And then repeat the same process to transfer the translation back to InDesign from MS Word.
It would have been nice if InDesign could automatically export ONLY the text from text boxes into MS Word using HTML tags. Like:<textbox_00001> text text text</textbox_00001>
<textbox_00002> abc</textbox_00002>
<textbox_00003> text 2</textbox_00003>And then be able to import this…

export to PDF
Why has the export changed?
Exporting the catalog directly from InDesign in August 2019 was 6MB.
Why, the same catalog, export Jan 2020 is 35 MB?
Everything is fine, same setting, quality, .. but the size is bigger and it is impossible to get to the original size.1 vote -

Lag due to "corrupt links"
Case Number: ADB-10686986-C0K0
Issue: Performance
The file I am working on is part of a network located book which included 15 separate indesign documents and links to many images. Working on the file last week everything was fine, however this week when I type even a single character there is a tremendous lag (30 seconds to 2 minutes). This has affected every file in the book that I have opened this week so far.
The adobe tech had me create a new file and "move" all the pages to that file. This resolved the lag however it also broke the…1 vote -
When opening InDesign 2020 files I get a message that the file is damaged. See screenshot. The same file will open with Adobe 2019.
When opening the file in ID 2019, I get the message that links are missing. Perhaps ID 20 thinks that the file is damaged because the links are missing, so I get the damaged message.

Wrong Swedish translation (greyscale downsampling) - very old bug!
InDesign 15.0.1
MacOS 10.15.2The word "under" marked with red should say "över" not "under".
There should be three "över" "över" "över".
The English version use "above" "above" "above".
The Swedish version of Illustrator and Acrobat use "över" "över" "över".It's a clear mistake in the translation. No debate needed.
I found the file below with Google. It's made in 2005 with InDesign CS. The same error can be seen at page 20.
https://docendo.se/ovningsfiler/Färghantering.pdfSo it's a stupid irritating error in the Swedish translation that no-one ever bothered to fix.
Could you please just do it now?

Missing Plugin's
I currently have Adobe InDesign version 15.0.1 x64 and when I log in it tells me that I have missing plugin's (see below for a list). I am still able to do all other functions but then when I go to package my document it is unsuccessful. The research I have done says I need to add these plugin's but I can't find where to do that in the Help section. I have even uninstalled the app and reinstalled it and I'm still experiencing this issue.

Text Box Cutting off Copy with Auto Height On
I am using version 15.0.1 but this also happens in previous versions. We use multiple paragraph styles to format our text. We have noticed in some cases, not all when we copy the text frame the text box cuts off the last line when copied. Also when you click in a text box and begin to edit the last line disappears. We use many layers and many versions so we copy the text very often, this is causing problems with missing text.
To get our text formatted we use paragraph styles, we hit enter to go to the next style,…

text variable "Year>Modification Date" prematurely outputting "2020" (in 2019)
I just updated to InDesign 2020 on 12-27-2019 and today (12-30-19) was updating some ID documents that have a text variable in the master pages (defined as Year > Modification Date), which suddenly (a few days premature!) is now showing up as 2020, even though we're still in 2019! I thought that changing it to Year > Output Date (which changes the field to show the correct 2019) was a temporary solution, but then my new PDFs output with the date field changed to 2020! ANY document I generate a new PDF from now automatically changes the date field to…

Table Headers Disappear after copy/paste
Yes, I know this is an old topic that has supposedly been fixed... but...not fixed after yesterday's update, 15.0.1 x64.
I can add a space in the header to force it into overset and the header comes back, just have to live with dozens of overset errors.

EPUB; Exporting a numbered list to a reflowable pub
When working with "numbered list: in Indesign, paragraph style work great.
However after working and exporting it to a reflowable Epub it doesnt respect alignment and moves inward. I have looked up for anyone who has encountered the same problem making sure I wasn't the only one and yup there are others with the same issue.
I would like not to, for every numbered list in every book, to convert numbering to text. This is something I have seen as an issue since someone commenting since 2014 and not receiving any solution.
I need to know if there is some…

InDesign Documentation
I found out through Adobe support that page transitions in an interactive PDF created using InDesign only work in full screen mode. If this is true, your documentation should state this.
I also found out that the SWF function has been removed for InDesign 2020. Please update your documentation to let users know that this is no longer available in 2020, but is still available in 2019.
