1. Edit with other - doesn't see Photoshop as an application

   I use the Indesign feature on the links menu to Edit With, either using the default application or another. We just updated to the latest CC (ps, il, in) and the other application isn't the same. For any jpg or pdf, it shows Photoshop or illustrator or Acrobat as available to open the image selected. However, if I select an ai. file, it shows Illustrator as the default, and Preview as another option - no Photoshop. I select Other to add Photoshop, go to the applications folders, click on Photoshop and it's only seeing it as a folder, not as an application.

   From a finder window, if I click on an ai. file, choose open with other, go to the applications folders, select Photoshop it does see it as an applications and allows me to open the file.

   It was a very useful, speedy way to edit images in either illustrator or photoshop using the Edit With in Indesign.

   Why doesn't it work now? Why does Indesign not see Photoshop as application anymore?

2. Hairlines/artifacts randomly appearing on screen

   Glitches of bands of light or dark pixels may appear over images, in transparencies and effects. These may come and go depending on resolution preview mode, zoom and/or if overprint preview is rendered. (The lines are similar to tiling lines in PDFx1a in that they are rendering glitches presumably caused by floating point calculations)

   See the thread https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/lines-appearing-in-effects-shadow-amp-gradient/m-p/11912229#M419035

3. Use Auto-Sizing and Text Wrap Frame on causes application crash

   Environment: InDesign 2020 (15.0.2 Japanese version) + macOS (confirmed with 10.15.3 and 10.14.6)

   • create and connect two text frames
   • set Auto-Sizing "Height and Width" on Text Frame Options
   • Insert text into two frames full
   • overlay graphic frames with Text Wrap settings ON
   • move the graphic frame appropriately (drawing is not normal at this point)
   • close documents with Command + W

   During this operation, you will usually be asked to confirm the save, but suddenly InDesign will end and the application will crash.
   Also, if you try while overwriting with Command + S without Command + W, you may not be able to save eventually.

   This problem does not occur on Windows version.
   As a comparison, the same operation was performed with the English (North America) edition on macOS, but no problem occurred.
   Therefore, it is highly possible that the problem is unique to the Japanese edition.

   Original trouble posted Adobe Community.
   (There is a other post about User Voice, but this is a different issue.)

   Hi
   Based on internal investigation and customer comments, we have concluded that the issue got fixed in InDesign 15.0.2 and that issue happens with InDesign 15.0.1 version only.

   Please start a new thread in case you see the issue happen with InDesign 15.0.2

   Thanks

4. Blank Document/Pasteboard when Display Profile Changes

   When the display profile changes, i.e., when using automatic profile switching when room lighting changes (Spyder), document pages and any items on the pasteboard disappear. The rest of the UI remains the same.

   The 'fix' suggested elsewhere is to turn GPU preview off. However, when you do that, clicking on the document/pasteboard makes both flash white and can also make the document jump leftward to the edge of the window.

   The only real fixes are to close and reopen the document(s) or restart InDesign.

   And just in case anyone is tempted to suggest I stop using Spyder or any other display calibrator, please don't.

5. Indesign file shows as modified upon opening a page with placed PNGs

   1. InDesign 19.0.1
   2. Steps to reproduce: open an InDesign file with a placed PNG.
   3. Expected result: file opens, no asterisk appearing next to file name.
   4. Actual result: file opens, PNG re-renders in high quality, asterisk suddenly appears next to file name.

   As of this morning, every time I open a file that has placed PNGs, InDesign flags the document as modified, with the asterisk and asks me if I want to save the document before closing, even I made zero edits. To give even more credence, it only happens when I navigate to a page that has a linked PNG file in it. If I open a file and there are no PNGs on the page, no asterisk (JPGs and other placed graphics are just fine). The minute I "page down" and hit a page that has a placed PNG, it "redraws/re-renders" the PNG (I have high quality previews turned on, and when I get to those pages, the PNGs look a little low-res at first; you can see the dark blue progress bar at the bottom appear as it redraws the preview and then the image looks better once the high quality preview is finished drawing) and then, BAM, asterisk appears. Nothing was modified other than InDesign redrawing/updating the preview.

   I found some older forum topics and a previous bug report from 2018 (IIRC) in which that very thing was being investigated, which is what led me to figure out if that was the culprit for me, as well. It does appear to be so.

6. postscript file

   Print dialog set to print 3 x 3 thumbnails. I selected Postscript File in the Printer menu, and it blocked the thumbnails options. I saved the .ps file, but it was not usable:

   When the file was converted [whether with Acrobat Distiller or Preview], the layout was for a vertical page layout, with the right page of each spread cut off.

   Question: How can I create a usable Postscript or PDF file for thumbnails?

7. text shadow

   I have a text box with Drop Shadow Effect on the text itself. When I edit the text, the shadow does not change. I discovered quite accidentally that Undo (CTRL+Z) then Redo (CTRL+SHIFT+Z) fixes the issue.

   However, when I change the angle of the object (text box), the text moves but the shadow remains in place. I cannot fix it even by adjusting the Effect angle options.

   I have another issue where I have two separate text boxes on the same page with the exact same font and supposed font size, but the text is quite obviously not actually the same size.

9. error with image display

   in a large brochure with a large number of images, some of them are not displayed in "Display Performsnce - Typical" mode - instead of the image, only a rectangle is visible. Moreover, in the "High quality display" mode, these images appear, and those that were displayed in the Typical mode, on the contrary, disappear. This all happens in the "normal" screen mode. In the preview screen mode, everything is displayed. (Display via the GPU is set)

10. Display bug – garbled font randomly show up

    Font display bug – garbled font weirdness

    InDesign 16.4 on macOS Big Sur 11.5.1

    When flipping through pages I get this strange font display issue. See screenshots.
    It happens randomly. Not on every page but at least once every 10 pages.

    I can simply turn preview on and off or go to the next page and back to make the page behove normally again but this should not be necessary.

    This happens with all fonts.
    This happens every day.
    This happens on my colleagues computers as well. They are running various versions of indesign of various version of MacOS.
    This has been happening in at least the last three or four versions of InDesign.

    And, yes, we have tried resetting preferences, restarting, reinstalling, etc

    Any explanation for this stange behaviour?

11. Document slowdown when fonts not activated

    When fonts aren't activated in an InDesign document, InDesign CC2019 slows down and is practically unusable unless you activate most or all of the fonts used in the document. This wasn't the case in previous versions of InDesign, when you could deactivate fonts intentionally in order to troubleshoot files. In long form documents that may use multiple fonts, this was an especially useful tool.

    As InDesign documents are frequently separated from their fonts, especially when using font managers instead of Document fonts, this slowdown becomes a burden when checking files in larger workflows and inhibits font troubleshooting. Could the behavior in previous versions of InDesign, where the activation of fonts was not a requirement for file responsiveness?

12. Table borders, strokes, artifacted in InDesign problem

    InDesign ver. 16.1 (2021): Table borders and strokes created on a separate layer and artifacted in InDesign are not tagged as artifacts when converted to PDF.
    Close to a hundred "Path Object" errors flagged by the PAC 3 Accessibility Checker which we are required to use. The problem is none of these borders and strokes can be accessed in Acrobat with the Reading Order tool and therefore cannot be marqueed as artifacts. They are simply “not available” in Acrobat, yet PAC 3 flags them as “Path Object Not Tagged” errors.
    ~ Replacing tables with paragraph borders (on single layer) in InDesign results in same issue in Acrobat - paragraph borders are tagged as errors by PAC 3 and cannot be accessed.
    ~ Removing all Table Borders, Row Strokes and Column Strokes in InDesign Table Options does not help. PAC 3 still flags "non-existent" Row Strokes/borders as “Path Object Not Tagged” errors.

13. InDesign and Acrobat accessibility conflict

    Adobe InDesign version: 2019 CC

    We are currently trying to establish the best workflow in creating fully accessible PDF's for screen readers and I believe we have come across a bug in the communication between InDesign and Acrobat.

    Quick summary:

    H1 elements on multiple lines read as separate elements unless assigned manually in Acrobat
    The Structure and Article order does not transfer to the PDF

    To explain the issue clearly I have numbered the images in the process order.

    1. Image: 1 InDesign Accessibility setup.png
    2. I have setup ‘paragraph styles’ and used the correct ‘Export Tagging’ tags for each style.
    3. I have added the content I want to be read in Articles and put them in the correct order
    4. I have created tags and assigned all the content correctly
    5. I have reordered the ‘Structure’ to be in the reading order too

    Please note - the order of the ‘Structure’ and or ‘Articles’ does not transfer to Acrobat (after selecting the correct export settings.

    1. Image: 2 Interactive PDF with options selected.png
       This image shows I have selected Interactive PDF and selected:
       ‘Create tagged PDF’
       ‘Use structure for Tab Order’

    2. Image: 3 Initial PDF review - incorrect content order.png
       You can see the reading order does not match either the ‘Article’ or ‘Structure’ order from InDesign which I have set up.

    You can also see that the elements are ‘Spans’ not H1, H2 and P tags.

    1. Image: 4 Initial PDF review - Tag number ordering incorrect.png
       You can see the screen readers reading order by the numbers shown on this image which again does not match the order I set up in InDesign.

    2. 5 Initial PDF review - tag h1 splitting.png
       The tag order doesn’t match the structure setup in InDesign
       Also there is another bug when reading H1 tags on multiple lines.

    You can see how the H1 tag is broken by 4 lines. This has been tested and you have to swipe 4 times to listen to the full H1 header.

    1. 6 Initial PDF review - tag h1 splitting - fix by order assigning.png In Acrobat I have then gone into the reading order and manually set the main header to a H1 tag. This then groups the text in the tag order window and fixes the issue of it being multilines. You can then also see the tag has changed from Span to H1.

    The same thing needs to be done for the other multi layered heading tags.

    I hope this is clear enough to understand.

14. Share for Review from InDesign Book 'artifact' error

    When I try to share chapters from a book for review the Share for Review either doesn't function beyond clicking the 'Share for Review' 'Create New Review' or populates the details with the wrong file name and then fails to proceed (giving an 'artefact' error.

    I solved it by doing the chapters one at a time with no other chapters open and the InDesign Book closed - but it took me a few hours to work this out.

    Even when doing the chapters separately their Title Field of the Share for Review document is sometimes the previous document's name and I have to go back a step or use the delete review copy option to get a fresh (and correct) start.

15. Project goes blank

    I've been using the new Indesign 20.0 and it will often go blank to a completely grey screen in the working area. I can see the toolbar, and even the image gizmo but none of the actual content. I tried switching preview modes and to presentation mode and nothing works besides just quitting out and opening it back up. It seems to happen when it's been in the background for a while and I switch back to it. It's extremely frustrating. I'm on a Macbook Pro M3 maxed out specs on Mac OS Sequia 15.0.1 (24A348).

    This may be related but even when the content is visible and I'm trying to re-position my images in their frames I can't see the box outline or handles. Whats odd is when the content goes blank I can see the image outline and handles. Not sure if the box/handle color is blending in with my background or what is going on, I just have to hover my mouse and guess where an edge is. That is a constant issue. I had tried to see if i could change the color of the box/handles but it doesn't seem so. Also very frustrating.

    I've been using the new Indesign 20.0 and it will often go blank to a completely grey screen in the working area. I can see the toolbar, and even the image gizmo but none of the actual content. I tried switching preview modes and to presentation mode and nothing works besides just quitting out and opening it back up. It seems to happen when it's been in the background for a while and I switch back to it. It's extremely frustrating. I'm on a Macbook Pro M3 maxed out specs on Mac OS Sequia 15.0.1 (24A348).

16. Indesig destroys its files

    version
    InDesign CC for Teams 2018 (13.0.1) ExtendScript (Javascript) with AdobeStock

    Steps

    scenario: slow, instable internet connection or internet connection failure

    Indesign loses cloud linking to library assets
    InDesign freezes
    InDesign crashes
    Active Indesign file can no longer be opened on this computer despite restarting Windows + InDesign

    If the library is shared with other team members, they will not be able to open the file

    Only team members who are not working with this library can open the file

    If this team member now deletes the links to the assets, the other team members can reopen the file.

    Tests have shown that the crashes are caused by incomplete downloads of the preview or licensed images from Adobe Stock, which are displayed correctly in the Indesign as a shortcut in the Links-window and preview image in the graphics frame.

    The problem can only be detected by opening the images in Photoshop.

    Stability enhancement:
    The images from AdobeStock should only be linked to the Indesign-file after a complete download and made visible in the Links-window or graphics-frame.

17. colors desaturating and layer effect discrepancy

    InDesign version 18.4

    Make indesign file with layer effects (multiply, overlay, etc.) in CMYK. Click Share > Send for Review. Result in the browser is desaturated and layer effect is not working as displayed in working file.

    The file that is previewed in Share for Review site is both desaturated and displaying the layer effects differently than my working file. I even exported my working file and it exported as expected. My document is in CMYK as it is a print piece. I have not had trouble with the preview before. It has always displayed accurately in past print pieces.

20. Anchored text box in a table cell with text threads crashes when cutting

    As the title says. It sounds similar to past bugs.

    First, create a text box and add a table.
    Create a separate, new text box and add a single character in it.
    Anchor the text box to any cell in the table.
    Enable "Show Text Threads" from the View > Extras menu.
    Selecting and attempting to cut the table will lead to a long hang and crash.

    This is on the latest version of InDesign at the moment, 17.0. I am on Windows 10 20H2 19042.1288. I can verify this occurring on two separate systems.
    I've included a video walking through the steps to reproduce the crash.
