1. [ID-4216061]Incorrect re-linking of image files with rotation metadata

   This bug occurs in all versions of InDesign.

   InDesign reflects the EXIF orientation in the transform panel when an image file is placed. However, under the following conditions, the result of relinking will be incorrect.

   • The image file is rotated 90 degrees with EXIF orientation.
   • In the transform panel, the vertical and horizontal percentage values are different.

   Image files taken with an iPhone often retain the EXIF orientation rotation. If such a file is placed in indd by the client and the vertical and horizontal percentage values are different, there will be a problem that will cause drastic changes in relinking.

   The background of this trouble is the specification that Photoshop always saves with EXIF orientation set to 1. This is the correct specification. I think it should be fixed on the InDesign side.

   Japanese translation:
   「回転メタデータ付き画像ファイルの再リンクが不正確」

   この不具合はInDesignの全バージョンで発生します。

   InDesignは画像ファイルが配置されると、Exif情報のOrientationを変形パネルに反映します。しかし以下の条件では、再リンクした結果が不正確になってしまいます。

   1. 画像ファイルがOrientationで90度回転されている。
   2. 変形パネルで縦と横のパーセント値が異なっている。

   iPhoneで撮影された画像ファイルは、多くの場合、Exif Orientationの回転を保持します。クライアントがこのようなファイルをinddに配置し、縦と横のパーセント値が異なっていると、再リンクで大きな変化が発生してしまいます。

   このトラブルの背景にあるのは、Photoshopが常にEXIF orientationを1にして保存する仕様です。これは正しい仕様です。私はInDesign側で直されるべきだと考えます。

   Closed: Not Reproducible  ·  AdminSanyam Talwar (Senior Lead Software Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

   To identify the cause of this issue, we started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received an email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.

   We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the following: Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.

   We recommend you upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2025(v20.0.0.095) as it is more robust and contains a lot of bug fixes.

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

2. [ID-3934389]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.

3. With Adjust Layout ON, Text Frames shrink to extremely tiny size on changing Margins.

   I am working in Adobe InDesign CC 2019 14.0.1. When I have a manuscript already flowed into my document and try to adjust the margins on the master page with Adjust Layout enabled, when the new margins are applied to the document, all the existing text boxes "disappear." From what I can tell, they have been resized down to an infinitely small point in the middle of the spread. Obviously, this is not useful. I used to be able to adjust the margins across an entire book-length document in one go with layout adjustment, and the text on every page would be re-fit to the new margins. The attached screenshots show the before and after on a spread (you can see the tiny text box in the middle in the after).

   Am I missing a step here, or is this a bug?

4. serial number changed on cc2019

   User is not required to fill-in a serial number on CC apps, but nevertheless the numbers still exist and are used by 3rd party script creators to identify the user and license the script.
   this SN was kept the same on all CC versions but now it was changed. this means I need to repurchase my scripts licenses.
   the 3rd party programmer can't use just username becuase there may be more than one indesign license under one username.
   
   suggested solution: just keep the SN as it was on CC2018 and don'r make us pay for nothing

5. Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders.

   I can't even open InDesign anymore, I keep getting an error message that says "Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders. Ensure that you have appropriate permissions and then restart Adobe InDesign." I've changed permissions on every folder and file to "Read & Write" that I thought would help make it work but nothing is working. I was trying to open the latest version of ID, even undownloaded and tried using CC 2017 to no avail. I need this fixed ASAP.

7. Indents not holding after page break

   1. InDesign CC 2018, though I logged this bug for 2017 as well. It may also have existed as far back as CS6. I had hoped it would be fixed in this release.
   2. Create a paragraph style that has a left indent and set text in that paragraph style. Set enough text to flow onto a second page.
   3. The text should retain the left indent after the page break.
   4. Sometimes, the first line of text after the page break does not retain the indent.

8. Publish Online URL links breaking website functionality

   File Created in Indesign CC 2017

   I have created a test interactive document with links to product DG012 on our company website.

   https://indd.adobe.com/view/da74b2d3-46b2-40cf-99e2-8201ddc6248a

   When the link is clicked from publish online it opens the page but seems to disable all scripts that run on the website. e.g. search field and add to cart no longer functions on that page.

   The website itself functions correctly if you navigate to the link manually ( http://www.lockhart.co.uk/Table-Service-and-Buffet/Buffet-Display/Display-Stands/Rafters-F usion-1-2-Board~p~DG012 ).

   Interestingly in safari the add to cart button functions but the search field is still disabled.

   On closer inspection it seems to be an iframe issue -
   If I go into chrome developer tools i get the following errors:

   The key "target-densitydpi" is not supported.

   When clicked the link opens in a new window so I am not sure how to go about editing the code behind the sandbox element.

   Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

   Many internal as well as external factors can cause the InDesign application to crash/freeze/hang. A few workarounds are listed at Fix crash issues with InDesign.

   We completed the investigation and came up with the following: Either the issue has been resolved in the most recent release of InDesign (Refer to InDesign Release notes), the issue was intermittent at the time of reporting and is no longer reproducible, or the InDesign version mentioned in the report is no longer covered by Creative Cloud Support Policy.

   We would recommend you upgrade to the latest version as it is more robust. If you are still facing this issue even after updating it, either submit the crash report(Refer to Submitting crash reports) to us or Contact Adobe support.

10. [ID-4222229]Exporting to ePub (reflowable) when document has endnotes containing hyperlinks causes InDesign to hang

    Version of Adobe InDesign: 15.1.2 / macOS 10.15.6

    Steps to reproduce the issues: When exporting a document with endnotes containing hyperlinks to ePub (reflowable), InDesign hangs and needs to be force quit. Have tested removing all hyperlinks to tests, and document exports correctly. Have tested putting hyperlinks outside of endnotes and document exports correctly. The bug is specific to hyperlinks which are part of the endnote text.

    Expected result: Successful export with endnotes reciprocally linked to text, and hyperlinks in endnote text active to respective URLs.

    Actual result: InDesign hangs and needs to be force quit.

11. Data Merge function "Remove Blank Lines for Empty Fields" deletes the wrong paragraph

    Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server

    Adobe InDesign 15.0.1

    macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

    iMac 27 Zoll End 2012

    Steps to reproduce the issues

    See also attached video

    Open Document "02VKLeerzeilenTEMPEnde.indd"
    Open Data-Merge Panel
    Generate a merged document with click on the button
    Uncheck "Remove Blank Lines for Empty Fields" in Content Placement Options
    Press [OK]
    Repeat Step 3 this time Check "Remove Blank Lines for Empty Fields" in Content Placement Options
    Press [OK]
    Put the documents side by side
    Activate "Show Style override" in the paragraph panel
    Jump to page 2
    On the left side (Merged Document, Blank line intact) you can see the 2 markers followed by a paragraph symbol
    On the right side (Merged Document, Blank line removed) you can see that the 2 markers with paragraph symbol moved 1 line up behind the 7 and the other paragraph symbol is deleted
    Everything is o.k. because the paragraph style (07padresse) of the line "Mobile" and the deleted "Blank line" are the same
    Jump to page 3
    On the left side you can see the 2 markers followed by a paragraph symbol
    On the right side (Merged Document, Blank line removed) you can see that the 2 markers with paragraph symbol moved 1 line up and the other paragraph symbol (blue highlighted on the left side) is deleted BUT this time the paragraph style of these 2 paragraph are NOT the same! The result is a bigger gap between the two sentence "Frau Marie…" and Tel: 012…" on the right then it should be as you can see on the left

    Expected result
    The Blank line (2 markers and paragraph symbol) should be deleted/removed

    Actual result
    Instead of the Blank line (2 markers and paragraph symbol) the paragraph symbol before that (blue highlighted on the left side) is removed AND the remaining paragraph also picks up the paragraph style from the "Blank line" (if there were text in my example you could see that as well)

    Workaround
    You can generate a merged document with Blank lines and delete/remove them with Find/Change
    Find > (markers) + paragraph symbol = <FEFF><FEFF>^p
    Change > to nothing
    This way everything stays intact!

13. InDesign in Windows ALWAYS forgets app size and position!

    This has been a persistent pain for many YEARS. Everyone knows that an app should open to the last position and size. That's what the double-box icon is for in the upper right corner of the window border. Every single application in WIndows honors this "requirement" for Windows conformance.

    InDesign forces Windows users to reposition and resize the program every single time it is opened. This becomes a tremendous nuisance, and in any other program would be considered incomplete and unprofessional. PLEASE, for all the users who don't know how to report this bug, and for those of us who have manually resized and repositioned the "always full screen" startup settings, IMPLEMENT THIS!

    It's not hard, and all the other Adobe apps do it correctly. It makes the InDesign product manager look foolish.

14. 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.

    To identify the cause of this issue, we started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received an email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.

    We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the following: Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.

    We recommend you upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2025(v20.0.0.095) as it is more robust and contains a lot of bug fixes.

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

16. Error Code 0 - Often can't save as InDesign-Document

    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.

18. [ID-4256546]Bug when setting an even number as the start page number in a new document.

    Bug when setting an even number for the start page number when creating a new document

    1. Version of Adobe InDesign
       CC2025 (ver. 20.0) JP

    2. Steps to reproduce the issues
       Set any even number for the start page number on the Create New Document screen.

    3. Expected result
       An even page number will be displayed in Current Page Number as set.

    4. Actual resul
       The value set in the New Document screen will not be reflected, and “Current Page Number” will display “1”.

    As shown in the attached figure, when “Current Page Number” is inserted into a new document with the starting page number set to an even number, the document starts with “1”.
    (As long as the number set in the new document creation screen is an even number, any value will not be reflected and will become “1”).

    This phenomenon can be recovered by temporarily setting a different value in “Number & Section Option”.
    However, for users who are not aware of this behavior, it is sure to cause great confusion.
    It can also cause significant time loss in finding a solution.
    We have not been able to verify whether this bug is specific to the Japanese version, but we recognize that it is a very serious bug.
    We sincerely hope that the development team will fix it as soon as possible.

    新規ドキュメント作成で開始ページ番号に偶数番号を設定すると発生する不具合

    InDesignのバージョン
    CC2025 (ver.20.0) JP

    問題の再現手順
    新規ドキュメント作成画面で、開始ページ番号に任意の偶数を設定する。

    予想される結果
    「現在のページ番号」に、設定通りの偶数ページ番号が表示される。

    実際の結果
    新規ドキュメント画面で設定した値は反映されず、「現在のページ番号」に「1」が表示される。

    添付画像のように、開始ページ番号を偶数番号に設定した新規ドキュメントに、「現在のページ番号」を挿入すると「1」から開始されます。
    （新規ドキュメント作成画面で設定した番号が偶数である限り、いかなる値であっても反映されず「1」となる）

    この現象は「ページ番号とセクションの設定」で、一時的に別の値を設定すれば回復します。
    しかしこの挙動を認識していないユーザーにとって、大きな混乱を招く原因となることは間違いありません。
    また、解決策を見つけるために大きな時間のロスを生む可能性があります。
    この不具合は日本語版固有の問題なのかは検証できていませんが、非常に深刻なバグであると認識しています。
    開発チームには早急に改善していただくよう切に希望します。

19. [ID-4235479] 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.
