Import specific pdf page with Data merge
It could be interesting to include a specific page from a pdf into a data merge link and not only the page 1.
It could be useful when we have a lot of pages in the pdf and only one image by page.2 votes -
Perplexed translation – Czech version of InDesign CC
Hello, please correct Czech UI of InDesign CC - InDesign preferences, Text panel, first line:
InDesign CS6: "Používat typografické uvozovky" (it is correct, it means "Use typographic quotation marks", the grammar form is consistent with UI)
InDesign CC2020: "Použijte Typographer’s & Quotes" (it means nothing, it is a mixture of Czech and English words, the grammar form is not consistent with UI because it is using the imperative form instead of the infinitive). The closest translation to English would be "Use typografovy a uvozovky!"
2 votesThe fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2022(v17.0.0.96). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.
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.

"Balance Ragged Lines" does nothing
When activating it on the Paragraph panel or in the Paragraph styles, there's no change in the paragraph at all.
I'm using MacOS 10.15.4 (19E287), and the latest version of InDesign 15.0.2.
2 votesWhen Composer (in Paragraph panel flyout menu) is set to Adobe Paragraph Composer, “Balance Ragged Lines” works correctly. It won’t work with Adobe Single-Line Composer.

WE MUST USE A SHARED SERVER
Files can randomly corrupt when using a shared server? Every respectable business uses a shared server! We can't put confidential info on employee desktops as is recommended by Adobe because they can't support a shared server! At minmum if you can't support a shared server then make back up files which can be accessed if a file is corrupt. And no, your recovery option doesn't work when a back up file is corrupt. I've just missed a deadline, spent a ton of money on lost work and need to recreat all the lost work. Thanks Adobe........for nothing!!! Adapt to your users needs, don't ask your users to adapt to yours!!!

essentials classic hyphenation missing
I am using essentials classic as I always do, and when you select the paragraph section on the top bar, there's usually a hyphenation button which when clicked, stops it from being hyphenated, but its randomly gone, one second it was there, i pasted text into a text box and now it,s gone. Any clue how to fix this! I have found other ways of using it but the button still hasn't come back!

spell check in tables
See attached document.
The mis-spelled word "tiime" is addressed correctly in column 1 rows 1 and 2.
The mis-spelled word "paarty" is addressed correctly in column 2, line 1.
The mis-spelled word "partu" is is underlined correctly in column 2, line 2, but right-clicking on the word does not bring up spelling correction options.
"partu" will, however, be treated correctly using Edit -- Spelling -- Check Spelling... .2 votesHi

Cross-Reference Character Width Incorrect
When inserting a cross-reference, InDesign acts as if the character of the cross-reference are much wider than they are. In my example below, it forces the "8" to flow down to the next line, even though an 8 character clearly fits, and a line break is not necessary.

Bug: InDesign Index page ranges not working when using "Next use of Style" options
Adobe InDesign 2020
15.0.2 x64Issue:
I am trying to create index entries that include a page range (such as 26-29) instead of a single page number using paragraph styles.
I am having trouble getting the page ranges for my indexed content to update correctly. Specifically, the index entry always only shows the first page of the range in the index pane on the first attempt.
I can sometimes (but not always) trick it into updating the page range correctly. I attached a video of it finally working after five failed attempts.
Here is what I tried:
(Also detailed at: helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/creating-index.html#pagerangeoptionsinindexes)
Step 1: Select the text that I want to be created as a marker, in this case, "Vacation" (by dragging the selection in the first [failed] video, and triple-clicking in the second video.)
Step 2: Select "Next Use of Style" and use "Heading 2".
Step 3: Click OK.
The first attempt always displays incorrectly.
After toggling between various Page range options, committing each one, and then toggling back to "Next use of Style," I can sometimes get a page range to appear, but it usually incorrect. An example of this behavior is illustrated in the first video when the page range shows 26-67. (It should be 26-29.)Video two picks up where the first one let off. I try a slew of page range options, consistently returning to "Next use of Style" and "Heading 2" until finally, the correct range appears.
Also, if I need to nest that entry under another, the process starts all over again. :(
UPDATE: It turns out that even the last attempt is a failure. I am posting video #3 to show which pages the styles appear, and in what order. sigh

First Attempt: ** (90 seconds)

Steps:
• Create a compound shape from a larger Path and a smaller path located completely within the larger one with »Exclude Overlap«
• apply a Stroke with »Align stroke to inside«Expected result: The stroke should cover the fill along both path-elements
Actual result: The stroke on the larger object covers the fill, the stroke on the smaller one doesn't, but extends into the outside2 votes -

Paragraph/character styles font menu bug. Multiple Monitors
InDesign CC 2020 (15.0.2)
Operating System: macOS Catalina (10.15.4)
MacBook Pro 2019 16 inch built in monitor (default) 3072x1920
Samsung LC27JG52QQXEN 2560x1440 144HzIf I have the screens stacked as per the screen shot attached the font menu with paragraph styles is stretched off the screen top and bottom. The only way around this is to position my other screen to the side and then it works fine. The images 3 and 4 show the issue that I am having. Images 1 and 2 show the only thing that I can do to workaround the issue.

InDesign 15.0.2 avec MacOs Catalina - Vérification orthographique
La vérification orthographique dynamique et l'outil de vérification orthographique (commande+i) ne fonctionnent plus sur les textes en français : aucune faute d'orthographe n'est repérée. Ces outils fonctionnent pourtant très bien pour l'anglais, l'espagnol et le français canadien.
Pouvez-vous résoudre ce problème ?
Merci d'avance :-)

Can't sort by group or type when Relinking to CC Libraries
When relinking to CC Libraries, you have no choice but to see a list of randomly sorted (or alphabetically sorted.. who knows) assets in CC Libraries. Users should be able to sort by Type or Group like in the normal CC Libraries panel.

Bugs with Whitespaces in Justification’s Composer when work with Thai language and other issues
As my report on bug with text wrapping in 2020 version (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/38998636-bug-with-world-ready-composer-when-use-space-like). Many of issues were fixed, but some still remain.
.
Before going to the issue in the title of the post, I want to specify some issue that doesn’t fix form my last report. If you see on the attachment img 02, you will see the issue about text encoding (it just only my suspicion) that happen when you just copy and paste text (specifically in Thai) form 2020 version to 2019 or to another text editor. After I had pasted text into TextEdit almost vowels and tone marks were changed into quotation marks that which made me suspicious about text encoding in that language. (You can find .txt example download link in PS.)
.
I do not know that this issue has a relative to the issue in question. The white spaces. As you can see in “img 01” in attachment (and on Indesign file) on the text where I high-lighted.
.
First, you can see white space play as a character in the beginning of the line, like other white spaces such as thin-space. And you also see, when applied paragraph with Adobe World Ready Composer, either single line and paragraph, spaces other than whitespace that insert form space bar play as character on the end of the line when you apply text justify. In an example I shown to you, en-space did not collapse. It stilled as a character.
.
Other than that, you can see the close parenthesis was sole wrapped into the next line, even it should stayed with the last word.
.
Nearly half year, after you had claimed that Indesign support Thai, I still cloud’t update into 2020 version because of all these fatal issues.
.
PS. You can download example Indesign file form https://www.dropbox.com/s/k08yqdio1cs3ttb/Test%20AW%20Folder.zip?dl=0
and you can download “Copy And Paste Text form Selection Text.txt” from https://www.dropbox.com/s/8sxrh3kzkagi0fm/Copy%20And%20Paste%20Text%20form%20Selection%20Text.rtf?dl=0As my report on bug with text wrapping in 2020 version (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/38998636-bug-with-world-ready-composer-when-use-space-like).
