harfbuzz
Compile Harfbuzz with Graphite support enabled.
InDesign 2020 uses Harfbuzz for complex script rendering. Harfbuzz has the capability to use Graphite instructions for rendering complex scripts, but Adobe has compiled Harfbuzz without Graphite support.
Graphite is needed for rendering some character combinations used in languages which are not supported by other font technologies.

Return the use of "master pages" instead of "parent pages"
In the latest version Adobe decided that their job was to educate us to speak proper language, which is why the word "master pages" was replaced with "parent pages".
We do not find any problem with the phrase "master pages" and believe that it is not Adobe's role to dictate policy according to progressive agendas.
We demand to return to the previous concept of "master pages".
The term "parent pages" is confusing and misleading, with all the documentation of the software on the web for 2 decades referring to master pages.27 votes -

- I click on "My feedback" This shows 7 issues.
- I click on "hide closed ideas" It changes to say "show closed ideas", but 7 issues are still visible, including two issues which say that they are closed: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/47335865-indesign-2024-starts-with-createobject-indesign https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/44120772-problem-with-optical-margin-alignment-and-world-re
I expect "hide closed ideas" to hide the closed ideas, but they are all still visible.

variable font bugging out in InDesign
I am using General Sans variable font in Indesign which has not stopped working properly after packaging the document and prepping it to print.
Some areas of the font are showing as Italics even though they are not and should not be and there is no way to change them.
After researching it looks like variable fonts are not ready to be used in all Adobe programs for a seamless process.

Adobe Publish Online lacks a search bar
Having used InDesign 16.0.2 to successfully publish my document, I discovered, unlike "other" online publishing tools, the end-user has no search bar. Worse yet, typing "command" + "k" — while it does work in all browsers and in all PDF files — does NOt work in an online published document. Basically, the document is NOT searchable? That is a critical misfire for an "online" publication. Please add a search bar immediately, if not sooner. I love this new publish online feature, but cannot justify an unsearchable web document to my higher-ups.

InDesign performance issue: Slow on documents present on server
it's not an idea, but a problem. Indesign creates problems on the network and is very slow with server documents, as never before. The media told me to work locally, but I ask Adobe to solve the problem. Windows 10 64 bit - Intel processor 32 GB of ram.

Adobe InDesign/InCopy cannot be opened because of a problem
InCopy will not launch in macOS 10.11.5 and 10.12.6. This is happening on two different computers, one a 2015 13" MacBook Pro with Retina and one a 2017 MacBook Pro with TouchBar. Have attempted uninstall/reinstalls as well as removing preference files.
I'm attaching the InCopy report from 10.12.6 computer but the 10.11.5 computer is currently off-site. I can add it later if I need to.
I'm also attaching a screenshot of the error message returned by InCopy when I try to launch the application.

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\PreflightWe'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.

Une integration du PDF comme pour Adobe Illustrator
Je me demande pourquoi la lecture PDF peut être faite à partir d'un fichier AI, alors que ce n'est pas le cas sur indesign. ce serait pratique pour le travail à distance. il faut que le fichier PDF soit à jour, alors que le fichier indesign a pu évoluer.
