1. Datamerge

   Version: Indesign CC 2017.1. Same behaviour in both Windows 7 and El Capitan 10.11.6.

   Steps to reproduce: Create a layout file and a tab delimited text file like the ones seen on the info images.

   Expected result: A pdf with the same data as the text file and preview.

   Actual result: A pdf with its first record correct, but the following two incorrect. See description image.

   Solutions/workarounds

   1. Decrease the column names number of characters and/or make sure no placeholder has overset text (used solution).

   2. Create a merged document. The values seem to work as expected then (this solution was not possible in my case).

   Misc info

   Although making sure there are no overset text frames seems to fix the problem there were many text frames like that in the actual layout, and all except one of them worked as expected. The data itself fit the frames without any problem and no overset warning is shown after the export.

   Provided are the actual test files as well. Se file ”datamergebug_files.zip”.

   A really nasty bug since the preview should definitely not differ from the actual output.

2. Folio overlays

   Abode indesign CC 2017 - 08/30 - Windows
   My colleague and I are trying to make a folder with Publish online, and sometimes we need 'Folio Overlays' tool - but it doesn't work. For me it's too big to see on the screen, makes everything slow - and for her, it doesn't work at all, it doesn't show anything at all.

5. AGLFN: ZWJ, ZWNJ, ZWS in PDF

   Indesign is not written ZWJ (U+200D), ZWNJ (U+200C), ZWS (U+200B) with its glyph name uni200D, uni200C, uni200B respectively.

   This is not helping in copying the text with ZWJ (U+200D), ZWNJ (U+200C), ZWS (U+200B) from PDF.

   These non-printing characters are copied has "space" instead.

   These non-printing characters in Indic scripts are part of text. With and without these characters, text can changes its meaning.

   Please support these characters with AGLFN glyph names in fonts in Indesign, PDF export feature.

6. Surface Pro 4 And Gestures

   I have a new Surface Pro 4. When using Adobe applications, gestures on the touch pad (for example pinching or scrolling) either don't work or are really bugy with little control. I was told by Adobe that this is due to the detachable keyboard on the Surface Pro.

7. Multiple Bugs in CC17

   Display issue 1
   Random lines appeared on my screen. Baseline grid and guides were hidden as I was in Preview Mode, no explanation for these lines.

   Display issue 2
   Text doesn’t display correctly when I apply a different Paragraph Style Sheet. (It displays the text in both the original Paragraph Style and new paragraph style on top of one another, even though the new Paragraph Style is selected). I needed to deselect and reselect another paragraph of text to rectify the issue.

   Dialogue box issues
   Both videos show how I’m unable to select from the drop down menu in InDesign. In the first video I want to select the ‘Photoshop Path’ from the Clipping Path dialogue box, but am unable to do so.
   The second video show how I want to create a PDF (via File/Export) but I cannot change the PDF settings from the drop down menu.
   Needed to quit the program and restart to rectify the problem.

9. The lists of entries for a cross reference is not ordered

   Some panels with items (e.g. links) can be ordered by clicking the column header. Others cannot. Among these are the lists of references to choose from when inserting a cross-reference. These seem to be totally unordered. As a result, it is a pain to look for the right one (e.g. choose from a few hundred in a large document). I consider this a bug because other panels do have this ordering

10. Colour picker turns everything to blank with strokes, applies stroke

    Colour picker is broken. Everything is checked, but when I use it, it turns the object picked from into blank with black stroke. When applied, it adds a black stroke. This is true of text, objects, and links. Deleting local settings changed nothing.

11. 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 as a bug.

    They way it is you can not differenciate between images that don't have a profile and images that already have the correct profile. As a result all images get converted again in prepress - even those that already are in the correct profile.

    If you have any further questions feel free to ask and i'll help out as good as i can :)

    Thanks!

12. 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.)

13. Bug report (regression) — InDesign 2026: Fixed-Layout EPUB export crashes (Error -29) on a large image + a vector shape

    zip for the repro: https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZ5IUrZxTfA7wbGXB0km8sFyaLVLHI9lbdX

    Environment

    • Adobe InDesign 2026, version 21.0.0.192
    • macOS (Darwin 25.5)
    • Regression: the same document exports correctly in InDesign 2025 and earlier.

    Summary

    Exporting a page to Fixed-Layout EPUB fails with an uncatchable Error -29 "Uncaught exception" when
    the page contains a large placed raster image together with a vector shape from an
    Illustrator-style drawn illustration. The minimal reproducer is just two objects: one large image
    plus any single one of those illustration shapes (even a simple 4-point polygon). Removing the image,
    or removing the vector shape, makes it export. The error aborts the scripting engine (not catchable with
    try/catch); from a panel, the export call never returns.

    Steps to reproduce

    1. Open min_test.indd (one page: a large image + one vector shape). Or build it: place a large image (~5300×7900 px) on a page and add a vector shape that came from a drawn/imported illustration.
    2. Export to Fixed-Layout EPUB (File > Export… → EPUB (Fixed Layout), or doc.exportFile(ExportFormat.FIXED_LAYOUT_EPUB, file, false)).

    Expected result

    The EPUB is produced, as in InDesign 2025 and earlier.

    Actual result

    Export fails with Error Number: -29, "Uncaught exception."

    What was ruled out (controlled, single-variable tests)

    • The image: any large image works (56 MP alone exports fine); the specific file/metadata is irrelevant (pixel data byte-identical, metadata kept or stripped — still fine alone).
    • Cumulative load: 8 images totalling 133 MP, or a big image + up to 400 generated shapes, export fine.
    • Transparency, strokes, compound paths, bezier curves, rich-CMYK fills: a big image + generated shapes carrying any/all of these export fine (9 separate fabrication attempts).
    • Document context / page count / fonts: the page reproduces it alone as a one-page document with the document fonts substituted; other pages and text are not involved.
    • Shape complexity / count: a single simple real shape reproduces it just as a complex one does.

    => The trigger is the large image + a single real vector shape whose internal path representation
    (from an Illustrator-style illustration) cannot be reproduced by scripted/generated geometry. It is
    not size, color, transparency, complexity, count, fonts, or document context.

    Reproducer

    min_test.indd (attached) — a one-page document with a large image + one real vector shape — reproduces
    on export. Package it (File > Package) so the linked image travels.

    Workaround

    Downsample the placed image (changes the image enough to clear the export), or remove/relocate the
    vector illustration from the page.

    <!-- History: earlier drafts blamed image pixel size, a specific vector property, transparency, and a
    cumulative whole-page/whole-document cost. All disproven by controlled tests (several were artifacts
    of the original file drifting under the threshold during a long edit session - a fresh copy always
    reproduces). The minimal, reliable trigger is: a large image + one real illustration vector shape. -->
