Profiles equal to the Output-Intend get lost on PDF-Export
When exporting a PDF all profiles equal to the Output-Intend (which in my case is the Document-Colorspace PSO Coated V3) get lost when exporting.
I have created a small test-file with an PSO Coated V3 Image and an ISO Coated V2 Image.
When Exporting as PDF X4 with Output-Intend Set to PSO Coated V3 the Image that IS PSO Coated V3 looses its profile and the same for the ISO Coated V2 when the Output-Intend is set to that.
This is horrible for Colormanagement. I've been in contact with "Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG" and they suggested to report this to Adobe…

Missing color in PDF from InDesign
I have an InDesign file with a placed PSD file in it, which contains two spot colors. When I save the file as a PDF out of InDesign, only one of the two spot channels is visible.
I'm running the latest versions of InDesign, Photoshop, and Acrobat. To reproduce, open the attached InDesign file and save as a PDF. The resulting PDF should show a yellow and blue spot, but only the blue is visible. (The PDF generated during packaging also exhibits the problem.)

Adobe InDesign 2025 text justify buttons issue
In the latest update of InDesign 2025 (as of writing this), there is a problem with the text justification buttons in the toolbar.
Previously, you could click these buttons and then just keep typing into your currently active text frame, which is what one would expect from previous versions of InDesign.
With the latest update, keyboard focus instead shifts over to these buttons, taking focus away from the text frame and your current text cursor position.
This is completely useless, and makes it more difficult than it should be to, say, change the justification at a certain line of text…1 vote -

InDesign doesn't export 16 bit grayscale or 48 bit color images
Tested on version: 20.2 x64
Dear Adobe Support Team,
When importing high bit-depth images—such as 16-bit grayscale or 48-bit/64-bit color (TIFF/PSD formats)—into Adobe InDesign, we’ve observed that even when disabling down-sampling and compression, the exported PDF converts these images to 8-bit grayscale or 8 bits per component for color (i.e., 24-bit RGB or 32-bit CMYK), rather than preserving the original bit depth.
While we understand that limitations may exist within the current Acrobat SDK, it is important to highlight that:
The Adobe PDF Library SDK (PDFL SDK) explicitly supports the creation and reading of 16-bit image objects in multiple color…

Resource Failures in new program for epubs
I processed my ebook in InDesign 2025 the exact same way I did in InDesign 2024 and when I uploaded the epub to Kobo, the new version it gave me 28 Resource Failures. I went back to the old version of InDesign, reformatted the book exactly the same way and it uploaded fine. No errors. I've attached the epub critical error list from Kobo.

Not able to set default font when it comes from Adobe Fonts library

Email hyperlinks work once, but cease to work after clicking envelope link in Hyperlinks Palette
When clicking an email link in the Hyperlinks Palette, the email does, in fact, spawn my mail application (Mac Mail) and the email and subject line are correct.
However, when I return to Indesign to further edit the email link, and then I double click on that hyperlink in the Hyperlinks Palette, the email is no longer visible...it drops out.
Additionally, the email is not available from the list of links (those links, BTW, are not shared links).
And...the link, when I double click it, changes position in the list of hyperlinks, making it difficult to track what link you're…

Placing Images mac photos cant access album structure
Hi All,
when placing images into indesign (commmand d) then selecting images in the finder like window (technically speaking this might be the ilifemdiabrowser plugin from apple) , i cannot access the photos library album strucutre anymore. When going to movies (filme) i get the menu where i can choose the subfolders, with images (bilder) it does not work. Further, when trying to choose media (top menu on placing window) it cant access it. I suppose it is some kind of issue with adobe not getting access to the os photos system. I tried solving it in the mac settings,…

Aligning objects keeps button selected
When clicking align left edges / horizontal centres / vertical centres etc the button remains highlighted.
Then when trying to use the keyboard arrows to move the previously selected object - object does not move with the arrow key inputs.
This only happens on the top control panel rather than the separate align window.1 vote -
slow reaction
20.3.1 the version I just updated too (my bad! I should know by now not to update anything). Now, it takes a few seconds to recognize I've clicked on anything. I expect it would immediately acknowledge the click as it did before the update.

exporting to pdf crashes ID
I think my company just updated our licences and suddenly ID crashes when trying to export to pdf. I tried saving as a new file and exporting, it worked a couple of times, but at no point would it export over an existing (closed) pdf.
Added to the above, my keyboard suddenly decided not to respond. I put in new batteries, but it did not work until I did a restart.
I have tested exporting from indd, idml, both did not work. I'm re exporting as I fix errors I see in the pdf that were missed in ID.

Facing-page layouts always have one un-editable page
If you set up facing master pages with a text frame on each, you can only set the text frame as "primary" on one of the pages. That means every other page you create from the master will be un-editable. This defeats much of the purpose of a master page, and provides no benefit.
The only semi-workaround is to connect the two frames, but this is not always acceptable. Sometimes it is necessary to keep the stories separate.

Some Cyrillic RTF files exported from Indesign are broken if a non-breakable space was used
Indesign 20.3.1 x64 release.
Attached is the Indesign file. Both frames are identical, except for the topmost has one non-breaking space and the bottommost has a regular space instead. The export from the top frame produces the buggy RTF (a screenshot of the glitch location is attached), while the bottom one is ok. If we put any non-breaking space there - it will fail as well.
The bug was reported as font-dependent as well, i.e. the text set in Arial may have the bug while the text set in Minion Pro may not have it.1 vote -
The Book panel disappears and can't be re-displayed.
The Book panel is essential while working, because (as far as I know) it's the only way to sync styles across your book's files. But once it disappears (which it does frequently), there is no apparent way to redisplay it. Attempting to re-open the indb file doesn't do anything, even if you've closed all other files.

M4 GPU support
Using latest ID version (20.3.1) on Sequoia (15.4.1) on two different silicon Macs (Mac Mini M4, Macbook Pro M4 Pro) – neither recognizes the GPU in Indesign (greyed out in ID Setting menu). Monitors used include Macbooks internal display. Without GPU support performance is lacking but most importantly glitches are present (clicking boxes or zooming in and out does not work properly). As it is, Indesign is hardly usable. Other Adobe apps, Photoshop, Illustrator, work flawlessly and recognize the GPU.

InDesignで日本語入力時、1文字目が勝手に確定される不具合
iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020(macOS 15.4.1)にて、InDesign 19.5.3を含む複数バージョンで、日本語入力時の1文字目が自動的に確定されてしまう不具合が発生しています。
例えば「りんご」と入力しようとすると、「rいんご」や「り」だけが確定されるなど、意図しない文字入力結果になります。
macOS標準の日本語入力(日本語 - ローマ字)を使用した場合にのみ発生し、Google日本語入力では再現しません。また、IllustratorやTextEditなど他のアプリケーションでは同様の不具合は確認できません。InDesignに特有の問題のようです。
InDesignおよびmacOSの複数のバージョンの組み合わせで検証しましたが、常に同じ現象が再現されます。
日本語入力は日常業務で欠かせない基本機能であり、この不具合によってInDesignでの作業が大きく妨げられています。早急な修正対応をお願いいたします。
