1. 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

2. GREP search failed to match all text in a story

   We use to be able to search all text in a story by using this (?s).+ code. It’s working fine in CS6. But in CC2019, 2020, and 2021 on both Mac and Windows it will fail to select all text in the story if there is more than ~ 50000 character. Only the first ~ 50000 will be selected.

   This might be related to an old bug that was introduced in 14.0.2 that was fixed in 14.0.3.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Create a document with one story containing more than 50000 characters
   2. Do a GREP Find using (?s).+

   A similar issues when trying to use \X+ to select all text in a story. Only some portions of the text over multiple of ~ 50000 text will be selected.

3. InDesign is not correctly role mapping all paragraph styles to tags, when creating an accessible tagged interactive PDF

   I am using InDesign 15.1.1 to create several accessible, tagged PDFs.
    
   I have tagged every paragraph style correctly under the export tags for PDF (Edit all export tags > show: PDF), and I have left any list items and table of contents items with the default ‘Automatic’ tag.
    
   I am exporting as an interactive PDF with ‘Create tagged PDF’ checked. 
    
   Then when viewing the PDF in Acrobat Pro DC, in the Tags pane I have selected ‘Apply role mapping to tags’. This should ensure that in the tags pane in Acrobat, all my original paragraph style names are displaying as the tags that I have created. But this is not happening. I am finding that some of the tags are role mapping correctly, while several other tags are appearing incorrectly role-mapped with their original paragraph style names in place instead of the tags that I had assigned to them in InDesign.

   There seems to be no logic to this. This role mapping problem is occurring on every document I export as a tagged interactive PDF, no matter the size (i.e. from a small 12pp booklet to a large 125pp brochure). The only common characteristic is that the initial pages of the PDF have the tags correctly role mapped, but then as the document progresses some of the tags start to break down with their tags not appearing and instead their original paragraph style names are displayed. I have tried exporting the PDF from my another Mac and I get the same result.

   Today I have discovered something interesting: if I export just a few pages at a time then the role mapping is working correctly. The problem seems to occur when I export the full document – InDesign does not seem to be able to export all the information correctly en masse.

   Note: I have updated to InDesign 15.1.2 today and the problem is still occurring.

4. Relink from CC Libraries Sorting

   When Relinking assets in InDesign using "Relink from CC Libraries", the CC Libraries panel that shows isn't capable of having its sort order (date modified vs alphabetically) changed nor is it able to show Groups - please fix so it has the same view functionality as the regular CC Libraries Panel.

5. Publish Online feature has issues when viewed in iOS 13

   We are using the "Publish Online" feature inside Adobe Indesign to make some of our content available on our website. We've recently received reports from users with Apple iOS 13 mobile devices that the content is not displaying properly on those types of mobile phones. When the content first opens, if you double tap the page zooms in ok and double tapping again zooms out ok. However, if you try to pinch/zoom, the page blows up very large such that you can only see a couple words and you cannot pinch to get back out. Sometimes double-tapping again takes it back to a normal view, but often it zooms back out with part of the page cut off. This content was created using InDesign Creative Cloud 14. I spoke with tech support and she indicated a ticket was filed with the engineering team. Posting here as well for others to be aware and to receive updates!

6. Cmd-O or Cmd-N doesn't work after InDesign starts up.

   This has been an annoying bug for a while. If you open indesign, then use the command-O or command-N key to open/create a file, nothing happens. You just get an alert sound.

8. Multiple listings of same font in Find Font menu

   There are multiple listings of the same font in the Find Font menu in CC2019. All information is the same, all applied characters are the same, but there is odd behavior.

   --FileACC2019WithDocumentsfontsfolder.png shows double listing of Trade Gothic LT Pro Roman.

   --FileACC2019WithoutDocumentfontsfolder.png (when I take away access to Document fonts folder, no other changes), one instance switches to "Regular" instead of "Roman"

   --FileACC2017WithDocumentfontsfolder.png shows what happens with I open this file in CC2017 (no double listing)

   --FileACC2017WithoutDocumentfontsfolder.png (Document fonts folder hidden) shows what happens with I open this file in CC2017 (no double listing)

   I process large volumes of files; this is not an isolated incident nor a corrupted file. Packaging results in InDesign only grabbing the single correct font file, so that isn't broken. This behavior with Find Font is seemingly new to CC2019 (I'm working on 14.0.2). The multiple listing of same font, variation of font name when fonts enabled/disabled, and Find Font showing fonts missing that aren't because of what seems to be a name issue in Find Font. Has something changed in the way that InDesign reads fonts/accesses Document fonts folders?

   Resolved For User  ·  AdminSanyam Talwar (Senior Lead Software Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

   Hello All,

   Thank you for your patience all this while; we really appreciate your support!

   Our investigation suggests that one of common reasons for the problem is that certain software (mostly antivirus and other security applications) and browser extensions happen to enable “Secure Keyboard Entry” on Mac machines due to which some keys such as Shift key in this case do not perform the desired action in InDesign.

   For now I request you to follow the below provided KB doc for the quick workaround of the problem.
   https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/features-do-not-work-keyboard-keys-mac.html

   In the comments section many of the users have confirmed that disabling Webroot SecureAnywhere (a security app) has resolved the issue for them. Please note that, the problem may not be related to a particular software; there could be a different application or antivirus which might be causing the problem by enabling Secure Keyboard Entry on Mac.

10. Clicking document-installed font from font list gives error to "activate font" and doesn't change font.

    InDesign 14.0 on Windows 10 x64

    I just upgraded to InDesign 14.0, and there appears to be a bug when clicking a document-installed font from the font list. The font list gives an error message to "Click 'Activate' button to activate fonts" and the text frame keeps the existing font, instead of changing to the new font.

    Expected result:
    The expected result would be the same behavior as InDesign 13.1, where you could click a document-installed font from the font list, and the text frame would update to the newly selected font.

    Actual result:
    In InDesign 14.0, clicking a document-installed font from the font list gives an error message to "Click 'Activate' button to activate fonts" and the text frame font stays the same.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create a new document in InDesign.
    2. Create a new text frame with the word "Test." Save and then close.
    3. In the same location as your new document, create a "Document fonts" folder. Copy an OTF or TTF font file into this folder. In my case, I copied "Sacremento-Regular.ttf" into this folder.
    4. Reopen the new InDesign document you saved in step 2.
    5. Select the text in the text frame. Note the current font (most likely Minion Pro).
    6. From the type list, select the document-installed font you copied into the "Document fonts" folder.
    7. Note the "Click 'Activate' button to activate fonts" error message, and that the font for the text frame has remained the same.

11. Can't delete InDesign color swatch

    Documents inherit a swatch from a picked-up file and the swatch can not be deleted.

    1) This problem has existed for us since at least InDesign CS4 and persists through the current CC 2018 build (13.1).

    2) In the attached file, "Select All Unused" in the Swatches panel. There is no content at all in the file. All objects have been deleted, as have all text and object styles. Try to delete the unused process color swatch, "C=80 M=76 Y=70 K=73."

    3) We expect the unused swatch to be deleted.

    4) Trash can icon in Swatches panel is grayed out and unselectable.

    We have tried renaming the swatch, creating an identical swatch in Illustrator, placing and deleting both .ai and .eps files and merging the swatch with other swatches.

    This issue is also present in other legacy files with different swatches.

12. Deleting an odd number of pages causes the text frame derived from the primary text frame to double

    1. specify a primary text frame for both the left and right pages on the parent page. (figure1)
    2. Delete an odd number of pages. At this time, the parent page is reapplied.
    3. The text frame will be doubled. (figure2)

    Deleting (or adding) an even number of pages will not result in this behavior.
    Deletion/addition of an odd number of pages should not cause doubling.
    Specifically, we would like the text chain of the text frame for which the primary text frame is specified to be retained. (figure3)

    Reference:
    I believe the primary text chain is a feature that was added with the automatic text chain that was in QuarkXPress in mind, but the automatic text chain in QX did not cause duplication when odd number of pages were increased or decreased.

    ページを奇数枚削除した場合、プライマリーテキストフレーム由来のテキストフレームが二重化する

    1.　親ページで、左右ページともにプライマリーテキストフレームを指定しておく。（figure1)
    2.　ページを奇数枚削除する。このとき、親ページの再適用が行われる。
    3.　テキストフレームが二重化する。（figure2）

    偶数枚のページの削除（もしくは追加）では、この挙動にはならない。
    奇数枚のページの削除／追加でも、二重化しないようにしてほしい。
    具体的には、プライマリーテキストフレームが指定されているテキストフレームのテキストチェーンが保持されるようにしてほしい。（figure3）

    参考：
    プライマリテキストチェーンは、QuarkXPressにあった自動テキストチェーンを意識して追加された機能だと思っているが、QXの自動テキストチェーンでは、奇数枚のページの増減で二重化が起きることはなかった。

13. [ID-4259367]Error handling dialog shown while placing some TIFF/EPS files

    Error encountered while reading TIFF image. Image may be damaged or incompatible. Resave the image with different settings and try again.

    After I upgraded InDesign 19.5.1 to 19.5.2. Linked images do not show on the page in high quality display settings. I have about 60 linked indesign files into my one file. And I was afraid to upgrade to 20.1 and from Sonoma to Sequoia. Any fixes for this? Perhaps get rid of some of the links.. too many links? 60? 2 page document. Newer M2 MacBook Air.

    Edit: Update: Downgraded back to 19.5.1. Everything is working perfectly. Thanks Adobe for allowing very easy downgrades. EXCELLENT.

15. Multi-level lists

    1. VERSION: 19.4

    2. ISSUE: If you create a multi-level list (1, 1.1, 1.2.3, etc) and export as an accessible PDF the list structure is not correct and presents the incorrect "List level" to the reader when using any assistive technology.

    EXPECTED RESULTS: When a new level of a list is created the sublist's <L> goes INSIDE the <LBody> tag to properly indicate the list is sublevel.

    ACTUAL RESULTS: In the most recent build of InDesign, the <L> is just a sibling of the <LBody>. This is not only incorrect an a violation of PDF/UA-1, it also requires fixing EVERY TIME you use this feature in InDesign because it voices the incorrect level to the user when listening using assistive technology.

    Please FIX!!!!

    1 First level
    1.1 sub level
    1.2 sub level

    Should be:

    <L>
    -- <LI>
    --- <Lbl>
    --- <LBody>
    ---- <L> Child of the LBody

    =========

    NOT

    <L>
    -- <LI>
    --- <Lbl>
    --- <LBody>
    --- <L> Sibling of the LBody

    1. VERSION: 19.4

16. "GREP Load Find with selected text" is incomplete on macOS

    version: any OS: any macOS
    Edit menu > Keyboard Shortcuts > Text and Tables > “GREP Load Find with selected text” also “GREP Load Find and Find Next instance”

    If the selected text contains meta characters that are escaped with a backslash, such as "End of Paragraph" (\r) or tab characters (\t), they are all captured as ¥r and ¥t.
    I’m forced to retype the ¥ into a \ before starting the search.
    On Windows, it works without retyping.

    “Forced line break" (\n) is not a problem as a function, but the display is corrupted, which makes me uneasy.

    It is a pity because it is a very useful function.

    選択テキストに「段落の終わり」（\r）やタブ文字（\t）など、バックスラッシュでエスケープするメタ文字がある場合、すべて¥r, ¥tとして取り込まれる。
    検索を開始する前に¥をバックスラッシュ\ に入力し直す必要に駆られている。
    Windowsでは再入力を必要とせず動作した。

    「強制改行」（\n）は機能としては問題ないが、表示が崩れており不安である。

    とても便利な機能なだけに残念でならない。

17. 2024 lag

    InDesign 2024 is lagging a lot—there's a delay in response when clicking onto a text or content box to edit the content. Even moving from page to page (at typical or fast display) there's a lag.

18. Reading order issue when a footnote is split over to next page or column

    When a footnote split over to next page or column, the accessible PDF generated from InDesign CC 2023 has notes reading order messed up. The first note reference on the page where the portion of a note comes in from the previous page/column reads the continued note text and likewise the second note reference reads the first note and so on. Eventually the last note is read at the end regardless it's note reference. It's a serious issue because not only the reading order needs to be fixed for the last note on the page that has splitting to the next column or page but also all the notes appearing on that page where the split portion has come in will also need to be fixed manually.

    To my mind It's a critical bug that is making InDesign unusable to create accessible content and needs to be addressed on highest priority.

19. Load DTD throws error in InDesign 2022 (17.0)

    When using the structure menu to load a DTD , the latest version of InDesign sometimes throws an error with a single period as the message. I'm using the same DTD I've used successfully in previous versions of InDesign.

    Error text:
    .
    Line 941, Column: 18

    In the context of this DTD, line 941 column 18 points to the % sign used to refer to an earlier parameter entity. This has never been a problem for InDesign before:

    <!ELEMENT sam (%paragraph_styles; | table | footnote | endnote)+ >

    Even using the same DTD in the same file, this issue doesn't always occur. I am typically able to get around the issue by scrolling around the document or clicking on text boxes, then simply running the tool again. It's unclear what could be causing this different behavior each time the tool is run.

    This also affects document.loadDtd in the scripting object model.

20. loading TOC-styles between various Indesign-files

    InDesign version 16.4

    When loading a newly created TOC-style from one InDesign-file to an other file, it copies more than just the possible TOC-styles. I loaded the TOC-styles of an InDesign-file with a smaller font and spacing and the load copied these other settings as well.
    It seems that the 'Load TOC-styles' loads all available styles, including Paragraph- and Character-styles.
    The selection-list that is available when loading Paragraph-styles and/or Character-styles is also missing.
    This makes it impossible to load TOC-styles between different InDesign-files which use the same Paragraph-style names.
