1. Data merge not working for absolute paths on macOS

   With the latest update of 19.4, image paths no longer work for merge documents. I installed the latest update, which went back to 19.3, and have had no issues; therefore, I have isolated the issue with the update. I currently usean Excell file with an image field and the path to the image associated with each record. I have not changed anything in the file but with the new update I get the error message indicating the file is missing.

   The fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2024(v19.5.0.084). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.

   Kindly update the data source file with the POSIX style path in Macintosh to work with data merge functionality smoothly. Please refer to the helpx https://helpx.adobe.com/in/indesign/using/data-merge.html to know more about the difference between HFS and Posix style paths.

   You can get the actual POSIX path of a file by right-click it in the Finder while holding Option (or right-click, then press Option) > Copy as pathname menu. This can help you explore the correct POSIX paths to ensure you're using them correctly.

   Note: Relative path as such /<foldername>/<filename> is no longer supported after the fix, as it considers the starting “/” as an absolute path. Instead, the recommendation is to omit the starting “/” and use <foldername>/<filename> instead or any of the other existing ways to access the relative path like ./<foldername>/<filename>.

   If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application and click on the context menu on the top right, and click on Check for App Updates.

2. Bug when editing link text when changes are tracked

   There it a bug which occurs when the following takes place.

   1. Track changes is activated for a text frame in InDesign.
   2. A user adds text that will include a hyperlink.

   (See Image1.)

   1. A second user creates the hyperlink in the text.
   2. This user also then makes a change to the text that contains the hyperlink.

   (See Image2)

   1. If the ICML file is exported for editing in InCopy and then placed again into the document the formatting will change in the places where the original content was added - which follow the change in the text which contains the hyperlink. Depending on how this occurs text content can also be duplicated following the original text.

   (See image3)

   Image3 shows that the default hyperlink styling (blue with underlining) now extends to the end of the original text. The hyperlink itself also extends that far.

   This will happen in any place where a change occurs in text containing a hyperlink that was originally added by another user. It is not likely to occur very often (due to the nature of the steps that need to occur in a specific order) however the results could very big problems if they are not caught.

3. [ID-4235479]M1 Mac Graphic Problems Continue

   As others have mentioned InDesign graphic performance on M1 Macs is unacceptable. This was marked as "fixed" but it continues with macOS Ventura 13.0.1 and InDesign 18. For example, the screen does not always redraw when scrolling or jumping to a different page until you move your pointer. Switching to a different program and then back to InDesign also fixes the problem for a while. It doesn't matter whether GPU Performance is on or off. This is the most fundamental functionality. Please figure it out and fix it once and for all.

5. [ID-4222280] GREP position marker "^" = Beginning of Paragraph (not beginning of a new line after a forced line break)

   Dear Support,

   with the GREP position marker "^" for "Beginning of Paragraph", the GREP-search should consider the position of the beginning of a paragraph.
   But this marker does not only recognize the beginning of a paragraph, but also the beginning of a new line after a forced line break (SHIFT-RETURN).

   This is not correct: A forced new line is not the beginning of a paragraph.
   The only correct way would be to consider the beginning of a paragraph (RETURN).

   Sometimes you can use "(?=\r)\w+" to look for a word behind a Return instead of "^\w+" to find only the hits at the beginning of a paragraph. However, a combination with the search for a paragraph format can be disturbing here: with the lookbehind combined with a paragraph style only those places are found, where two consecutive paragraphs have the same paragraph style.

   Please correct the effect of ^ to only beginning of paragraph (and not forced line break).

6. [ID-4220612] Exporting accessible PDF – wrong BoundingBox

   InDesign Version: All

   Background:
   An accessible PDF needs for all graphics and pictures a bounding box.
   This is used by AT e.g. to set a focus to a visual impaired user.
   Using the PDF export a bounding box is defined for all linked images.

   Problem:
   Often the bounding box does not fit to the visible area.
   AT user get wrong information, in fact the file is not accessible.

   Steps to reproduce the issues:
   Place an asset, where only a part of the linked asset is visibily placed in InDesign, the rest is cropped.

   Expected result:
   Bounding box fits to visible area

   Actual result:
   The bounding box is bigger than the visible area, if the assets content is bigger than the area show.

   Workaround:
   You can fix this in Acrobat theoretically, but this is nor real workaround as you only edit values and dont have visual feedback.

   Attachement:
   InDesign sample files and accessible PDF with bounding box example + visible error.

8. Slow Performance issue in the InDesign application

   Very Slow Performance

   Yes, InDesign is extremely slow today 2020-06-19, almost unusable, even many months after being discovered.
   The most worrying is that it seems that this bug was discovered in September 2019.

   As David wrote 2019-09-04: “Almost every action from selecting objects, resizing objects, or moving objects comes with a really slow reaction time”.

   Behaviour:

   InDesign freezes, and my cursor starts spinning around (CPU jumps to 95-98%) for almost 30-45 seconds before I can continue with next command.
   The behaviour is random, but when it starts working slow, then it continues. It usually happens when I open two InDesign documents at the same time (small documents).

   I run InDesign 15.1 x64 from Creative Cloud, and Windows 10 Enterprise with 16GB RAM.

   I hope Adobe fixes this very soon, as I cannot perform my daily work and my employer starts asking what is wrong with my deliveries.

   Many internal as well as external factors can cause the InDesign application to perform poorly.

   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, create a new UserVoice thread or Contact Adobe support.

9. [ID-4219711] Defining a stroke beginning with a gap does not work

   If you define a stroke you can set the length of the first stroke to zero. But as you can see in the screenshot there is still some stroke visible.

   Best solution: Make a "zero stroke" possible, a stroke which starts with a gap.

   Second best solution: Change the minimum in the "length"-field to something > 0.

10. Style Override Highlighter not highlighted when in use

    When I make some style changes in my text, the "Style Override Highlighter" marks theses changes. Great feature, no problem at all.

    But when I 1) quit InDesign and 2) start it again, the changed text is highlighted but the "Style Override Highlighter" icon [+a] is highlighted not at all.

    Solution shortcurt: Click on [+a] in character style panel, then on [+a] in paragraph style panel and it should behave the way it should. But it would be better if it'd be working the way it should.

11. cross-references bug introduced with 2018.1 update

    The 2018.1 "search" added to cross-references is great and will be very helpful. Unfortunately it appears that a bug was introduced in the process of adding this feature.

    When you double-click on a cross-reference in the Cross-References panel, it opens the Edit Cross References window. This used to open the window to the cross-reference you selected so you could edit it. Now, it opens the window at [All Paragraphs] with the first paragraph in this list selected.

    This is a MESS for my workflow, as I now have to search through the cross-references to find and select the one I want to edit. Fortunately, it is easier to do this now that the search box is there – but it’s an extra step that requires typing the cross-reference into the search box to find it.

    Hopefully you guys will be able to fix this soon so double-clicking on a cross-reference in the panel works the way it did before. Thanks!

15. [ID-4273456] Press the opt/alt key after dragging, it duplicated to the incorrect layer

    InDesign 2026 （and earlier, too）I was found out in CS6.

    Issue:
    When drag and duplicate any object, the duplicate destination will be the previous active layer under certain conditions.

    Reproduction procedure:
    1 Layer panel "Paste Remembers Layers" check off
    2 Unselect, and duplicate the object Activate layers other than the layers of the object
    3 Start dragging and add the option/alt key in the middle of dragging
    4 After dragging, the object is duplicated to the layer that was active in step 2

    Ideal result:
    The uplication by dragging will be duplicated to the same layer as the original regardless of any setting.

    I really hope to correct it.
    Regards.

    3 Start dragging and add the option/alt key in the middle of dragging

16. "Insufficient data for an image" error is shown on opening PDF in Acrobat

    We are experiencing issues with exporting to PDF. Hi res PDF Compatibility Acrobat 7 (PDF 1.6).
    The PDF is created normally, but when opening the PDF, it sometimes happens that the image is not displayed on one or more pages. The error message for this specific page is: ERROR: Insufficient data for an image.
    We tried to solve this problem within our team. Eventually, we discovered that the issue did not occur for one of our colleagues. Further investigation revealed that this colleague was still using an older version of InDesign (18.3). The colleagues experiencing problems had automatic updates enabled and were working on the new version 18.4. I then uninstalled my 18.4 version and reverted back to 18.3, and the PDF exports started working as before without the error message.

    I hope you can look into this and perhaps address it in the new InDesign version.

    Best regards,
    Mike Böger

17. # in URLs of Hyperlinks in Hyperlinks panel is substituted with %23 when opened in browser from panel

    Hi together,
    when working with hyperlinks with URL destination an URL like:

    https://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/HTML/Elemente/a#Siehe_auch

    will not be transferred to the browser as is when the menu command "Go to Destination" is used or if the "green" bullet in the panel is clicked that indicates a correct and connectable hyperlink destination.

    Instead character # will be substituted with %23 like that:

    https://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/HTML/Elemente/a%23Siehe_auch

    The implication could be two-fold:
    [1] The browser could show an 404 error
    [2] The browser could not navigate to the named anchor and the view of the page is showing the top part of the page.

    The URL above will show error [2].
    This URL will show a 404 error:

    https://www.histaminintoleranz.ch/en/symptoms.html#zusammenfassung

    For the first error, the 404, I included screenshots and a sample InDesign document from InDesign 2023:

    Here the correct destination when the URL is copied to the browser:
    URL-CopiedToBrowser-CorrectPageView.png

    Hyperlinks panel showing the command "Go to Destination" in my German InDesign 2023:
    GoToURLinInDesign_Hyperlinks-Panel.png

    Result is this 404 error in the browser:
    GoToURLinInDesign_404-Error.png

    Test document where the hyperlink is attached to a rectangle:
    URLWith#ShowsAs%23Example-2CC-2023.indd

    FWIW: Due to restrictions of the UserVoice forum software the InDesign document could not be attached to this bug report. Instead I zipped it and tried to attach the zip file. Also this failed. So I added a *.txt to the file name:

    URLWith#ShowsAs%23Example-2CC-2023.indd.zip.txt

18. PDF/X-1a運用において、危険度が高い「画像の配置方法」を発見しましたので報告させていただきます。

    Indesign （15.1.3）（16.4）（17.3）などで以下の現象を確認できます。
    表を作成し、「セルをグラフィックセルに変換」という機能を使用せずに、空のままのセル内に画像を配置します。
    配置方法は、何も選択していない状態で「ファイル」、「配置」、画像を選択して「開く」、配置先のセルをクリックといったものです。
    この配置方法でドキュメントを作成し、「プリント」より出力して確認したところ何の問題もありません。
    印刷会社へ渡すためのPDF/X-1aを「書き出し」より出力します。
    期待する結果としては、「プリント」からの出力結果と同等のPDFが作成されることです。
    実結果は、Illustratorのドロップシャドウが黒ベタに、同ぼかし効果が無効に、Photoshopのレイヤマスクが黒ベタになったPDFが作成されてしまいます。
    以上です。

19. "Selection" and "Direct Selection" tool icons mixed up in toolbar

    The button images for "selection" and "direct selection" tools are mixed-up. The buttons are still in their correct place, but the "selection tool" button now displays the white arrow in the toolbar, the "direct selection" button the black arrow.

    The mouse arrows themselves remain correct, as do their functions.

20. update package

    Instead of making a new package every time it would be really handy to be able to update an existing package.
    proposed Use Case/action:
    a new menu item: Update Package… > Show package in Finder/Windows Explorer > Only the items that are not in the existing package will be added (the items in the package that are not used will be kept in the updated package)
    Thank you
