Pages window not open
InDesign CC 14.0 x 64 running on Win 10 Pro November 2018.
The Pages Window stayed open at startup on previous InDesign CC. Now it is closed, other windows like Paragraph Styles and Info stay open, but not Pages.
Can this be fixed please?2 votes -
Edit all hyperlinks panel - like the Edit all Text Styles panel
This would allow quick changes to a host of links - especially useful when reusing layouts but changing images, content and links. A panel would allow the changes to links, and campaigns. It could have several columns which could be used to construct the links. Here, with examples:
URL
https://www.example.com/page.htmlSOURCE
(would add &utm_source=xxxx to the URL)MEDIUM
(would add &utm_medium=yyyy)CAMPAIGN
(would add &utm_campaign=zzzz)etc.
Many of the details in these columns would be identical throughout a new piece and being able to edit them all in one screen would be both a time-saver and a way to avoid…

Pages Panel shows scroll bar starting at wrong page
This only happens on startup of InDesign.
I open a document that has many pages from 2 -120.
The Pages panel has the scroll bars positioned at the top, next to pages 26-27.
If the scroll bars are at the top of the document, then pages 2-3 should be showing.

File Info > Raw Data panel doesn't allow to select text and search
The File Info > Raw Data panel stopped working as expected:
-The search field doesn't work
-It's impossible to even select text in the panelI'm pretty sure it worked earlier - so something probably got broken recently.

InDesign Window Moves Slightly Offscreen (So I Can't Adjust Window Size) When Plugged Into External QHD Display
I'm using a 14" M1 Pro Macbook Pro, and when plugging into an external display (QHD), Indesign's top window moves slightly offscreen (see attached picture). Goes away when I unplug the display, but quite annoying to have to remember to resize the window before plugging it into a display since I can't resize the window another way without that top bar accessible.

Pages panel not scrolling to allow all pages to be accessible
InDesign v21.3 (Updated last week, no issues until today. Daily use)
This morning when I opened InDesign, I discovered I was unable to scroll and select the last page of the document. The top half of the last page is visible through the bottom bar of the panel where the number of pages is displayed but unclickable. This prevents a change of parent page style, addition of pages in the correct parent style or the selection to override the parent page style.
I have tried resetting my workspace, restarting Indesign and changing panel views. The bottom row remains elusive.

Indesign is freezes when a window opens.
Using Indesign Version 20.3.1, Whenever I open any pop up menu (e.g. paragraph styles, text frame options, Export window), Indesign will freeze and I get the spinning wheel on my Mac running macOS 15.4.1.
It happens maybe 1 in 3 times and I have to force quit indesign and reopen.
I have tried Resetting settings and preferences
Uninstalled and re-installed Indesign (this helped for about a week) then it started again.I've never had this happen before and now it is driving me insane.

InDesign window defaults fullscreen after escaping presentation mode
When entering presentation mode (shift+w), and then escape, InDesign windows becomes fullscreen.
When I come out of presentation view the window size gets forgotten and automatically becomes the size of my entire screen (very annoying to keep having to resize the window all the time, completely disrupts my work flow) It even cuts off the bottom tool bar, which I use a lot.
I have an M1 Macbook, Indeisgn 17.4
I have previously posted this and told that the issue was fixed. I followed all instructions and the issue is still there.

properties>fill panel expands off page
Indesign Version 20.5 on OSX Tahoe
When inDesign is at the top of the screen (i.e maximum screen size), opening the properties panel and then clicking on fill extends the fill sub menu up the screen, rendering half of the sub menu not visible unless you drag the whole application down. I don't think this is intended UI behaviour (hope not), and it's really frustrating to work with.

InDesign window opening between two monitors
In InDesign 2026 (v 21.51), I'm having troubles opening files by right-clicking on them in my Microsoft File Explorer. I'll have InDesign running, but with the program window collapsed. Then when I try to right click an INDD file and select to open it with InDesign 2026, the program window pops up and opens the file, but the window is split between my two external monitors and the aspect ration is off. Then I end up having to shut InDesign down entirely to get it to revert back. This only happens so far when the program window is collapsed…

No visable PDF comments in PDF Comments Window
ID 15.1.1, Win10
31.8.2020 The problem exist also in New-File Window: only the black window, one can see in the attachment
After importing the comments from a PDF file there is nothing in the PDF Comments Window. Although the comments are visable in main text, I cannot accept them in PDF comments windows, because I don't see them there.
I have the same problem with the main InDesign window: when no file is opened, I see only black flat, no icons of previously opened files, as it was in previous versions...

"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.2 votes -
Library panel not registering licensed images
Hi, for a while now the Library panel does not register when I license an image from Adobe Stock. I search for an image and place a watermarked thumbnail into the document (InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop). When the draft is approved I click on the license image icon on the image in the Library (or on the thumbnail image in the document) and the license process happens but the library does to update to show the licensed image. I have to go to Adobe stock in a web browser, find the specific library and download the image manually. The cloud…

Recent file panel
When Indesign first opens, the time stamp on the recent file is not correct. Some of the files are marked "in an hour" as when they were opened. Others are just marked as 4 hours ago.
The normal keyboard shortcut for hide does not work either on this screen.

can't resize window on left or right edge
Can not resize document window from left or right edge when document is maximized. Top, bottom and corner resizing works fine. If I resize from one of those first, all works well and left/right edges can be resized. If I then maximize the window again, left and right edge resize stops working.
I've had this problem with CC 2021 and 2022.3 votes -

Preflight panel Overset text not showing page number
SEE ALSO
Preflight panel Overset text not identifying page numberFor a couple different files, I got an error message in the Preflight panel, indicating the presence of Overset text, but NO page number. In both files, it said it was an issue with footnotes, but not where. One of the suggested fixes is to allow Split Footnotes, but that option is already checked.

After a lot of sleuthing, we eventually found the error. In one of the two files there were multiple errors in multiple locations. The entire footnote had vanished. The footnote reference was still there,…
