1. Share for Review has ISSUES

   I have been using the Share for Review feature for almost two years now for my employer to review documents that I am creating for them. I use it almost daily and never had any issues until the updates that came a month or two ago.

   Since the Share for Review feature was updated I can...

   1. No longer copy text from the comments that are made to paste into my document. This is troublesome because I am generally laying out curriculum that has been written and there is constant text edits being made during our review process, so I was copying 75% of my comments and can no longer do that. Me having to type out their changes generally results in further problems and changes that need to be made.

   2. The comments they are making if they are highlighting specific words to remove/edit are not displaying correctly INSIDE InDesign. If I view the comments through the web, they will display correctly.
      I.E. I was just editing a paragraph where they were adding paragraph breaks. In InDesign, it highlighted half of a word in the middle of a sentence and the comment said "add paragraph break here". I knew that couldn't be right, so I viewed it on the web and the real comment was on a completely different sentence. When comments are not highlighting the right words or displaying correctly in InDesign, everyone is getting confused and it is further complicating our review and editing process.

   3. When I go to update my link after making requested edits on my file, it takes FOREVER. It used to update in seconds, and now I will get a spinning wheel for 10+ minutes. This is super annoying and delays all of my process for absolutely no reason.

   PLEASE FIX THESE ISSUES. It's so frustrating when it's something I use every day and it used to work completely fine until it was "updated".

2. The magnification option is gone from the menu bar in InCopy 2024

   I'm not sure if this was a strange UI decision, a preference I can't find or a bug. It seems that the magnification dropdown in InCopy 2024 that was beside the "Help" button is gone.

3. Version 19.0 does not remember the document path for Save or Exporting to PDF

   Since upgrading to v19, it does not default to the path of the original opened document when saving, and Export to a PDF file does not default to the directory of the InDesign document.
   The default is you Documents folder.
   This is not the first time an upgrade has caused this behavior.
   PLEASE fix this !

   CLOSED  ·  AdminSanyam Talwar (Senior Lead Software Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

   When we update from InDesign 18.5 to InDesign 19.0, the conversion of documents happen. The document is opened and the user needs to save it. We have to save the document and the same folder from where 18.5 document is opened will be seen. For export workflow without saving the document, export will point to Documents folder.

4. Logical bug: font weight change to bold and back

   System: ID version 17.4.2 on Windows 10.
   Problem: some fonts have weights like "Light", next to Regular and Bold. If a text is set to weight Light and you change to Bold by Ctrl+Shift+B, the text becomes bold. When changing it back, it doesn't become Light, but Regular. The logic would be to check if there is a paragraph style applied and what's its default weight and use this when "unbolding".

5. Imported PDF comments listed in the wrong order

   1. InDesign 19.0
   2. Mark up an InDesign-exported PDF using Acrobat. The page should be text-heavy and have multiple, tedious changes indicated. Import the marked-up PDF into the source InDesign document's layout. Display the PDF and InDesign layout side-by-side on your screen.
   3. The comments should be listed in the same order in Acrobat and InDesign.
   4. The comments are listed in the correct order in Acrobat, but are in a completely random order in InDesign.
   5. See attached screen shot.

   PDF comments invariably appear in the wrong order in the list compared to their counterparts in Acrobat. The Acrobat list makes sense as comments are listed from the top to the bottom of each page. But in InDesign they are listed in a completely random order.

   Because not all comments get imported correctly, and do not retain formatting from Acrobat (which is another problem that needs to be addressed), I must put the PDF and the InDesign file on my screen side-by-side so I can check the source PDF as I work my way through a long document. I need to go down the list in order.

   It's incredibly frustrating and time consuming to not be able to follow along between the two Adobe programs in the same order. You're forced to either jump randomly all over the page in InDesign, or follow Acrobat's more sensible order but then hunt in InDesign's list for the corresponding comment.

   Please fix this, it's been broken since PDF Comments was first introduced!

6. Selection tool issue

   The selection tool don't allow to move objects but only to select and resize them.
   Also, moving a selection of multiple objects, with images in it, with the Direct Selection tool it only move the frames but not the images inside them.

7. Fonts only showing in drop down, cannot type them directly in

   InDesign 18.5

   Issue:
   Highlight text
   Click on the font Window (mine is displayed on right)
   begin to type in installed or adobe font, font does not populate

   When I type in a font, I expect to be able to populate it

   Wen I try to finish typing the font in the searchbar, it doesn't let me type in the next letter and just gives me a different font. Some fonts don't show up or do once and never again, yet are in font dropdown. This includes both installed OTC and installed Adobe fonts.

   screenshot 1: Trying to type in LTC Bodoni 175 but it stops at the L
   Screenshot 2: Trying to type in Battery but it stops at Battshion

8. Alt text is lost when content is edited in InCopy

   When a file containing content which includes anchored objects (images or groups) which have alt text applied is edited in InCopy, alt text is destroyed.

   InDesign/Incopy 2023 & 2022

   Steps to reproduce:
   1) Create a new INDD file
   2) Place an image
   3) Add alt text to the image
   4) Create a text frame with some placeholder text
   5) Anchor the image into the text frame
   6) Export the story for editing in InCopy
   7) Open the file in InCopy
   8) Edit the content (Don't touch the image)
   9) Check in the file
   10) Reopen the file in InDesign and update the content

   Expected result: Updated content is displayed, all image alt text is intact

   Actual result: Updated content is displayed, anchored images' alt text reverts back to "From Structure"

   When a file containing content which includes anchored objects (images or groups) which have alt text applied is edited in InCopy, alt text is destroyed.

9. Browsing, Searching, and Activating fonts

   For the last long while I've been having trouble with fonts in indesign and I've heard that others have the same issues.

   Only the first time I open the fonts list after restarting indesign, can I scroll through it with my arrow keys. After that, it doesn't work and therefore, it's very difficult to go through my fonts.

   Additionally, when I try typing in to the fonts bar to search for a font, it often doesn't pull up the font, as though it's not installed, when I find it if I scroll through the list.

   Also, if I try to activate a font through indesign, it endlessly tries, but doesn't actually activate.

11. After IDS install or update calls to preflight() don't work unless you manually edit ExportPreflightReport.jsx

    Whenever we install or update InDesign Server we can't call preflight() unless we manually edit the ExportPreflightReport.jsx file found here:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign Server 2023\Scripts\Preflight

    We've had to do this for every version of IDS we've installed or updated (v15, v18.2.1 and 18.5). We're using Windows Server 2022 in Azure (Win64).

    I can't attach jsx or zip files but edits required are described at the bottom of this post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/problem-with-save-preflight-report-using-javascript-in-macintosh/td-p/5831477

    If we don't make these changes, calls to preflight on IDS don't produce a report. The script (ExportPreflightReport.jsx) works on InDesign Desktop.

    It would be great if IDS shipped with this ExportPreflightReport.jsx ready to go.

    Thanks.

12. Indesign FREEZES or GETS STUCK when convertign another "version" file

    My Indesign version is CC 2019. 14.0.2 64 bits
    I try to convert from version 18.2 and I logged in, as the advertisement said. But when I click "convert" the button turns from blue to grey and unselectable. And the advertisement freezes there. I have to put cancel and the program lets me cancel and the bar above is again functional. But nothing else. The program still doesnt let me convert the file.

13. Drag copying to move the duplicate object no longer shows the original during the move.

    Bug, or simply changed way to do this with modifier keys? I've noticed that lately when I drag copy an object to its new position, the original vanishes during the drag. Often I need to drag it and still see the original while dragging for an exact placement in relationship to the original being copied. Has that vanished from InDesign? If not, I've not been able to find a list of modifier keys for drag copying variations.

14. portrait mode - Whether at 125% or 100% the Indesign Interface scaling option under Preferences does not work.

    BUG DETAILS- On a Monitor that is setup in a Portrait configuration, whether at 125% or 100% display scale in Windows Settings, the Indesign Interface scaling option under Preferences does not work.

    Adobe is a publishing software, especially InDesign. Book Publishers and their graphic design team need to have the option of working in a monitor setup in a Portrait configuration for the purpose of full vertical page (height) dimensions. I cannot get Indesign to Scale the Interface at all under Preferences when monitors are set in Portrait configuration. This is a bug because the InDesign interface does scale (as intended, under Preferences) when monitors are in landscape configuration.

    The result is that the menu items and tool icons are so small they are virtually unreadable.

    Walked through this with a tech on Adobe phone Support to confirm all this - that portrait Interface scaling is not possible on my end or the tech's end. We walked through all the troubleshooting steps, including setting the Windows Display Scale settings to 100% and trying to adjust Display Resolution.

    It remains unresolved. Those of us with glasses and eye strain, thank you in advance

15. "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle" behavior in Page Panel is opposite

    About Page Panel menu, "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle".
    When you check here, you can’t shuffle pages. You need to be off the check to shuffle. It's contrary to content.
    I hope this will be fixed to "Not Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle".
    Thank you.

16. Print files do not get overwritten.

    Whether i'm trying to overwrite a print file created with PDF or .vps using ID 2022 (17.4.1) through the XMPie plugin compatible for this version, it will not overwrite a previous PDF or .vps. This is a very frustrating issue since I've had to update to 2022. the only way around this is to delete the old PDF or .vps prior to running the new /updated print file, which is time consuming step. I constantly have to check time stamps to be certain that the files I send to our presses is the most current files needed, especially if a quick fix needs to be done while a job is on press.

17. based on previous file

    I love the review function. however I ususally base my work on another indesignfile and i always end up with overriding the review which is soo horrible.
    fex file1.ind gets copied and the copied file becomes file2.ind. when i make review in file2.ind its based on file1.ind reviewlink. i change name and woops i messed up comments for the file1.ind cuz file2.ind ended up there. then the reviewfile is broken and i always get an error as a plus so i need to create a new reviewlink

    I wish that everynew document would get blank there creating a new reviewlink so its not based on the ind.file one made a copy of. and until that is possible that the create new review link is not hidden under the (...) then it would make it easier to remember not make this mistake over and over.

    thanks

18. Black Backgrounds When Copying PNG from Web to Indesign (Return of Bug)

    This is a recurring bug that was solved in a few past updates, but, it's back in InDesign V. 18.5.

    When you copy a transparent background PNG from Google Images (or any website) and paste it into InDesign, it will display a black box as the background.

    If you paste the same image into Photoshop, copy that, paste it into InDesign, it will not show the black background.

    This was working 100% flawlessly over the last year, but, is now broken in this new version on multiple Macs. Tried different browsers. Reset preferences, same issue.

    This was a bug that has come up multiple times over the years, and seemingly was solved for quite awhile, until now upon its return.

19. Preflight showing overset text on non-visible layer

    Whether I have Visible Layers or Visible and Printable Layers selected in the Preflight Options, preflight still shows as having specific overset text despite layer being unchecked for visibility (ie layer is not visible)

20. Datamerge QR-code cannot be colored

    When performing a datamerge, the generated QR-codes are black (C0 M0 Y0 K100) and cannot be set to another color prior to merging. This video shows the issue (and complex workaround).

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. set up a datamerge with a qr-code field in data source.
    2. try to color the QR-code any color not black (eg. using Object > Edit QR-Code > Color)
    3. execute datamerge

    Actual result:
    All QR-codes are black.

    Expected result:
    To set the color of the QR-code placeholder the same as a normal QR-code, and for the QR-codes to be colored after the merging.
