1. stuck on type tool

   I'm stuck on the Type tool. It won't let me select or change my tools at all. I've had to shut down and restart three times now. Whenever I get into the type tool, it stays and I can't get out or click anywhere else. Keyboard shortcuts do not work

   Hello All,

   Thank you for your patience all this while.
   We had launched our investigation into the matter to get to the root cause of the problem. As the part of our investigation, we had reached out to many of you personally over email.
   We have concluded our investigation and have come up with few findings.

   1. For many of the users the issue got fixed after updating InDesign to a newer version.
   2. For few, the issue was intermittent and is no longer reproducible.
   4. For majority of the users, the underlying cause of the performance issue was identified to be related to switching between tools, or other lags

   Over the time this thread has become too generic to serve its purpose effectively. As per your feedback and the outcome of our investigation we have created multiple threads to address each root cause separately and effectively.

   If you are facing any slowness in InDesign or seeing any other performance issue, we request you vote for the relevant thread or create a new thread specifying the action/workflow which is slowing you down.

   We seek your support in our continuous effort to improve InDesign.

2. InDesign CC (13.0.1.) - Often can't save as InDesign-Document (error code 0)

   InDesign often says that it can't save my InDesign-Document, because its damaged (error code 0) . It damage my files, so that i've to save as IDML.

   Annoying.

   Cant't reproduce the problem.
   I work local, so it can't be an connection-problem.

6. InDesign, InCopy: linked copy and image files randomly broken

   We are a group of 16 graphic designers working on Macs. Our OS are varied between Sierra, High Sierra and Mojave. We work in InDesign 14.03 and 15.02 (with linked InCopy assets), Bridge 9.1 and 10.03, Photoshop 20.0.8 and 21.1, and Illustrator 23.1.1 and 24.1. We work on Box Drive and store our layout files and absolute-linked image assets there. It is critical that we are able to work on each others’ files in a high-volume, high-production environment. We don’t believe this is an issue related to our connection speeds.

   Looking for a resolution to these issues:

   InDesign: Not all image and InCopy files are automatically updating / relinking to original assets on Box. This occurs when both original and different users open the InDesign file to edit it.

   Box Drive: Writers cannot always see ICML and Assignments files on Box Drive (in the Finder) after an Art Director has exported them for the writer to work on. This typically occurs shortly after exporting the assets.

   Bridge: time to load image previews can take up to 15 minutes for some designers.

7. ID 2020 - Indent in combination with wrap text around an image not working

   In Indesign 2020, whenever I want to wrap text next to an image, but the text also has an indent the text jumps from the supposed position.
   In Indesign 2019 this did not happen. The text was wrapped nicely next to the image, the way you should expect.

   My guess what happens here, is that the indent specs are applied not the the edge of the frame, but to the edge of the text. Which corrupts the spacing between the image and the text.

   I'm working with the latest 2020 version on iMac with Catalina

   This issue is addressed with a new option "Honor Text Indents in addition to Text Wrap" in Preferences > Composition dialog. This option is ON for new docs created in ID2023 and needs to be turned ON for docs created in older versions of InDesign when opened in ID2023.

8. Copying animations loses timing panel settings

   When copying/duplicating animations (using ANY method), the timing panel settings are completely lost. This is really bad for complicated animations. The timing panel settings should be maintained when animations are copied/pasted or duplicated in any way.

9. InDesign makes incorrect QR code words and we can't decode QR codes correctly.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Object->Make QR Code...
   2. Input strings "問題は日本語を正常に扱えるかどうか。".
   3. Result QR Code is incorrect.

   Actual Result:
   Sometimes, we got the wrong code in Japanese locale.

   Any Workarounds:
   Here is Japanese character strings "問題は日本語を正常に扱えるかどうか。".
   This was coded into the InDesign try and get "image1.png".
   Then, we try to decode it at ZXING decoder. Here is a decoded result (image2.png)

   42 1e 59 58 fe 9a 18 ce 38 1a fe 69 7a 5e 69 ca
   ce 8a a9 ee 38 29 2e 6a da 3e 5b 8b 8e 38 1a be
   68 9b 1 8 0a ce 09 78 c2 17 9c 14 11 81 a7 38 24
   63 02 5e 70 10 06 08 00 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11

   The top has been encoded in the beginning have you because of 8-bit byte mode from the head with a "0x4". Then, the character codes are used here is UTF-8. Until "... 正常に扱" it has been encoded successfully. But it can not be decoded completely normal the next "え"(12th character) or later.
   In fact, this string is a mode change in a 35 byte. And, now, the used is "0x8" So KANJI Mode. Subsequent bytes will be the number of characters. "0xa" So 10 characters. And compressed into one character 13bit in this mode. Actual rest of the string is "えるかどうか。" 7 is the letter does not match the number of fundamental places because. The code itself will be inferred from the simple result of decoding.A byte sequence that has been obtained is decoded as SJIS but UTF-8 has over encoded as it is. The character code must perform the encoding by converting to SJIS from KANJI Mode. 7 is why this in a letter 21 bytes because it is each of the three-byte count of and 10 characters to compress the two-byte set to 13bit come out.
   A decoder is handled by SJIS because of KANJI Mode. So characters are garbled.

   KANJI Mode makes incorrect code words in InDesign and why mode change in a 35 byte?
   In case of "問題は日本語を正常に扱えるかどうか。" all characters are non-Ascii code range and all characters in SJIS code range. It must be encoded KANJI Mode if using KANJI Mod.
   However, I think it is better to encode 8bit byte mode with UTF-8 all characters.

   Please reference below:

   81 28 31 32 a0 29 ae 3a 7f da 3a 82 e0 bb 35 96
   85 24 b6 a1 26 0b 48 4a 42 8e 12 40 94 80 08 00
   ec 11

   It is correct code words in KANJI Mode with "問題は日本語を正常に扱えるかどうか。"(image3.png/Made by QR Code Maker Pro in Adobe AddOns)
   And below codes encoded in 8bit byte mode with UTF-8

   43 6e 59 58 fe 9a 18 ce 38 1a fe 69 7a 5e 69 ca
   ce 8a a9 ee 38 29 2e 6a da 3e 5b 8b 8e 38 1a be
   68 9b 1e 38 18 8e 38 28 be 38 18 be 38 1a 9e 38
   18 6e 38 18 be 38 08 20 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11
   ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11

   I recommend discarding KANJI MODE. I think all characters to be encoded 8bit byte mode with UTF-8 characters is the better way.

   To Adobe, Please check ID-4170816.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Object->Make QR Code...

    Hello All,

    Thank you for patience while we were investigating into the root cause of the issue.
    During our investigation we identified that the issue manifests due to Symentec DLP antivirus software.

    Please find below steps to whitelist the application:
    1. From the Enforce console select System > Agents >Application Monitoring.
    2. Select the application to white list. If it is not listed, click on “add application” and provide at least one of the required application binaries.(Refer to Symentec DLP_Console.png for reference)
    Note: DLP attempts to validate every field populated. We recommend using as few as fields as needed. If the whitelist seems to fail, try changing which required field is populated or removing one of the other fields.
    3. Uncheck all of the detection channels under the “Application Monitoring Configuration.”
    4. Click on save and verify the application in the list of monitoring activities is unchecked.
    5. After making these changes, test the whitelisted application to see if the issue is resolved.

All of them "stick" at one point or another, the images will change to "rollover" state but not to the normal state when hovering off. This is very confusing for the end-users. Please see attached pdf. I am using InDesign CC 2018.

    Thank you all for reporting the issue to us.
    We have concluded our investigation into the issue. As per our findings, the bug belongs to Acrobat and there is little that can be done at InDesign’s end.

    We have already notified the concerned team, internally and they would be working on the same.

    For now we are closing this thread for InDesign.

    This issue is no longer reproducible. If you are still facing this issue, you may try to quit the application, trash InDesign Cache and Preferences and check again.

13. Find/change: Search popup—not all options show

    Many times, I have gone to the Find/Change dialog box and not seen any options in the Search popup other than "All Documents or "Document."

    "Story," "End of Story," etc. are missing.

    The options 'Story' and 'End of Story' is shown only when the cursor is inside a text frame. Otherwise, only Document and All Documents options are shown.

14. RTL in Indesign 2024

    I'm from Israel and use Adobe Cloud English supports Hebrew.
    In InDesign 2024 (19) I see a bug, that the alignment to RTL does not work correctly. Even documents created properly in 2023 (18) appear distorted. The Hebrew text loses its position in relation to punctuation marks, numbers and foreign letters.

15. InDesign 2023 (18.0) Screen not refreshing

    Half the time or more, page down/up and zoom do not refresh the screen. Attempting to select something just draws the rectangle around nothing. Finally through a variety of erratic body movements, thrashing and random gestures, ID wakes up. This is a huge step backward from v17. Productivity severely hampered.

16. Hyperlink alt text is ignored in the latest version of Indesign

    When creating or editing a hyperlink there is an option to add alt text. If you add alt text to your link and export an accessible PDF the alt text is ignored. I have a document with a ton of hyperlinks that all need alt text which we have added but don't come through because of this bug. Now I'm forced to add them again to the PDF.

    According to the ISO-32000, the Hyperlinks are NOT supposed to be populated into the Alt-Text field. They should be entered into the Contents Key (see attachment) instead.
    InDesign currently does place them in the correct place [see screenshot attached].
    While someone using Acrobat can also add them to the Alt-text field, this is technically less correct than entering into the Contents key but either will pass an Accessibility checker.

    InDesign implemented this correctly based on the above information (provided by Accessibility experts, like Dax Castro, thanks Dax).

    Closing this issue.

18. Links export to PDF creates "Null Alt Text" attribute in tagged PDF

    When an ID 15 file with hyperlinks is exported to Tagged PDF, unless you assign alternative text to the Links in ID, the Link tags will have a "null text" attribute which prevents the content of the Link tag from being read by a screen reader. This is a problem for several reasons. Not everyone chooses to add alternative text to hyperlinks. It's a UA, but not a WCAG 2 requirement. An automated accessibility checker like Acrobat's or even PAC is not going to flag this. Most people do not do a "Jaws check" of the PDF they are remediating and will never know that the links are not "reading."

    Also, if you have a Figure which is hyperlinked the proper structure for that in a 508 compliant PDF is to place the Figure tag inside the Link tag and assign alternative text to the Figure tag not the link tag. Now with the null text Link tags, THIS will produce a "nested link" error from the Acrobat Checker. The nested alternative text for the Figure will not be read. Unfortunately, many people attempting to make 508 PDFs are unaware of what "null alt text" is and will have a devil of a time trying to resolve the error.

    So, instead of making PDF remediation easier with this new feature in ID you have made things worse!

    Ideally if no alternative text is entered in Indesign there should be no Alt text attribute of any kind in the Link Tag in the PDF.

    I've attached several files so you can see what this looks like in the Tags panel, but to truly understand it you should try to "read" the attached PDF using a screen reader like Jaws or NVDA.

19. Variable Fonts don't display correct via PDF export

    I'm very excited to see variable fonts in InDesign, thank you!

    However, when using variable fonts in an InDesign document, exported PDFs show overlaps (as in the crossbar of /A), as well as inconsistent stem weights, spacing, and alignments in various glyphs. These issues occur in multiple variable fonts I've tested.

    If I use static fonts or convert fonts to outlines using Type > Create Outlines these issues don't show up. These issues are present when viewing PDFs in both Acrobat and Preview (see screenshots attached). These variable fonts work fine in web browsers and other applications that support variable fonts (FontView etc).

    Please fix this so that PDFs which contain live type show up the same as those where Type > Convert Outlines is used. Thank you.

    Thanks

20. Please change one word in the German Indesign

    The German Word "Abstände" is used two times in the paragraph style panel but with two completely different meanings.

    First use "Einzüge und Abstände" is in English "Indents and Spacing".

    Second use "Abstände" is in English "Justification".

    Please change the second one to "Blocksatz" or "Blocksatzeinstellungen" so that the German users will not be confused anymore.

    Or contact a German speaking InDesign pro user for a better translation.

    Just a small change to make a lot of (German speaking) people happy!
