1. Bug with world ready composer when use space like thin en or em space in Thai language. And bug in text wrapping in 2020 version.

   After updated to 2020 version that added support to Asian languages (include Thai), it look like Indesign force user (in my case Thai) to set language in Advanced Character Formats to Thai. After set the language Indesign also require me to use World-Ready Composer to set all tone marks in place.
   .
   Before the latest version, I always avoid to use World-Ready Composer because it combines a word to single object, not just locks tone mark and float vowel to character in the right position. By which it impossible to navigate with text tool to the position of text that I want to revise, even if I use right/left key to navigate. It mostly skips word by word, not only character by character. And when I delete a word or a character, some time it not only deletes backward but forward too. (I think because of when I delete character form a word Indesign instantly recognises new word and forces to delete that new word.) But After updated to 2020, I think, I anymore cannot avoid World-Ready Composer.
   .
   After I designed to use World-Ready Composer, I found one more bug. Because in many situations when I craft the spacing in layout (especially in Thai), I always use thin-space to separate character like “ๆ” form word before and after to make the space between them look good. But After I set to World-Ready I found that when thin-space (include other spacial white space like en or em) is in the back of the line the spaces in question act like normal character, so the last character of the line when use left justify do not snap to right frame border. The space still there like It becames one of character. So you can see the gap between the last character and the right frame border. (you can find this instance in attachment in file “space issue.”)
   .
   But the serious issue still there after the update. I, and all of my co-workers, found that everything about word wrapping in Thai language goes wrong after updated to 2020 version. This never happen in the former versions. I don't understand why this issue is happen. Even if I use Discretionary Line Break to help Indesign to wrap text properly. But It is not productive at all, because I had been forced to read text all over again and to insert Discretionary Line Break to every lines. (you can find this instance in attachment in file “wrap gone wrong.” In the high-light is the words that should be stick together.)
   .
   PS. while I wrote this issue report, my co-worker tried to migrate back form 2020 to 2019 and she found that when copy revised text back to 2019 it not the same character encoding. I advised her to try to place that text to TextEdit. It appears that some character is changed to something that is not unicode at all. That never happen in previous versions too. ((you can find this instance in attachment in file “text form 2020” and “text form 2020.” the text form 2020 at frist did in 2019 before migrate to 2020.)

   After updated to 2020 version that added support to Asian languages (include Thai), it look like Indesign force user (in my case Thai) to set language in Advanced Character Formats to Thai. After set the language Indesign also require me to use World-Ready Composer to set all tone marks in place.

2. Accessible PDF exports paragraph lines in individual content containers

   Steps:
   1. Create a simple InDesign file, and type in a paragraph on several lines, apply any paragraph style
   2. Export to a tagged PDF and examine the <P> tag in the Tags pane

   Expected result: The entire paragraph is in one content container

   Actual result: Each line of text is in its own content container. The paragraph is really hard to read in the PDF when pressing Down Arrow with NVDA or JAWS. This causes each line to be read separately, e.g. with NVDA the default is to have "Use screen layout" as Off.

   In InDesign lines can be quite short because of the layout, making this a significant usability concern, because users can't read the text as expected with settings that work well in other PDFs or the web. They are forced to figure out alternate settings/navigation options just to read a paragraph.

   When I export a paragraph on multiple lines from Microsoft Word it is placed in a single content container in the <P> tag in PDF.

   I am using InDesign 20.2.

   Older version of this issue: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/33755254-accessible-pdf-exported-from-id-contains-spans-in

3. PDF/vector rasterize fail

   Pdf rasterization has been bad for many years, a long time ago I reported this problem with complex graphics when thin lines appear in the image when saved to jpg. Previously, at least a pdf from indesign could be opened in photoshop, which had a different rasterization, but it has been the same for a long time, and when rasterizing SOME pdfs, it always creates thin lines in different places depending on the resolution...

   Here is a sample QR directly generated in indesign when saved to jpg and in the preview in the application shows these thin lines!!!

   I would like to point out that before photoshop had a different code for rasterization and it did not cause this, but now it is obviously the same...

5. data link

   In Adobe In Design CC 14.0.1 x64
   We use a previous file to keep the formatting of a merged mailing list. I used to be that when you copied the file to a new directory it could no longer find the old data file and gave you a warning. It also would not show you a preview because it could not find the data.

   Unfortunately, the new version seems to have held the old data so we printed the old merged file by mistake. It doesn't even make sense that it should be able to do this if the link is broken. This is very dangerous. If the data link is broken you should see the fields but no data!

   I am fairly certain this did not happen in previous versions.

6. changing document size

   Hello!

   I am using the latest Version of Indesign CC 2018. (13.0).
   The following bug exists in the previous version as well.

   Create a new indesign document of (for example) 500 x 500mm.

   Next, place some single objects close to the border, but stay inside the documentformat.

   Now, go to "File; Document settings", where you can adjust the document size. Decrease the size from 500 x 500 to (for example) 400 x 400, with the Preview-Button ENABLED.

   Wait for the moment until the Objects move OUTSIDE the document border, because of the to smaller fileformat.

   Now, again increase the the document size to 500 x 500.
   All Objects, that are OUTSIDE, remain there, and don't move back within the document format.

7. 15.1.2 inserting ANY html is not working

   Version:
   bug only appears on inDesign 15.1.2 on OSX.
   I tested on inDesign 15.1.1 and inDesign 14.x and it had no issue.
   I also tested on inDesign 15.1.2 on Windows and it had no issue.

   Steps to reproduce the issue:
   -click on "object" -> "insert HTML code" then click "ok". changing the HTML snippet or not make no difference.

   Expected result:
   an HTML item is added and previewed correctly without any error message

   Actual Result:
   The preview of the HTML snippet is not working and after a few seconds, a dialog modal appears saying "Waiting time exceeded for HTML renderer. A poster image could not be generated."

   This is very annoying when using this feature manually and even more annoying when using a script that adds HTML elements because this message will appear and block inDesign every 10 seconds for each element created this way. Even a small document with 1 HTML item per page and 20 pages will be blocked for a few minutes.

8. Reflowable EPUB3: "Page Navigation" export option adds a space inside hyphenated words at page breaks

   1. Version of InDesign: 19.4

   2. steps to reproduce

      • create a new InDesign file
      • add a text frame to the blank page
      • add enough text so some words are hyphenated at the page breaks for the next pages
      • export to epub3
      • enable "Page Navigation" on EPUB export

   3. Expected result
      Page navigation markers are added without interrupting the hyphenated words at the page breaks.

   4. Actual result

      When using the "Page Navigation" export option for reflowable EPUB exports, InDesign adds a <span> and </span> tag pair with a blank space character in the HTML export instead of simply dropping the soft hyphen that was present in the print layout.

      Result in the EPUBs XHTML:

      <p class="bodytext">Idel illandia suntusdae quoditint debitatissit quam quamus magnimus es quiaeper elor eper<span id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="2" epub:type="pagebreak"> </span>nat quo con re nimus?</p>

      Another example using English text (from the "Georgia" file in the EPUB3 samples project):

      In my file "georgia", the words "consists" and "headward" are both hyphenated by InDesign as "con-sists" and "head-ward" at the page breaks, but exported to EPUB as

      con<span id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="2" epub:type="pagebreak"> </span>sists

      and

      head<span id="page3" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="3" epub:type="pagebreak"> </span>ward</span>

      respectively, thus displaying as "con sists" and "head ward".

      I am confident that this is not an issue of readers / apps display the EPUB erroneously, as I tested my example files on a PC with Kindle Previewer 3.81, Adobe Digital Editions 4.5, Thorium 2.2.0, as well as on a Kindle Paperwhite via Send to Kindle, a tolino (popular brand of readers in Germany, both with Adobe RMSDK rendering engine and new Readium-based rendering engine), an iPad with Apple Books and a Pocketbook InkPad Color.

      The W3C recommendation for page break markers is not a pair of opening <span> and closing </span> tags, but a self-closing <span/> tag, e.g.

      <span id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="2" epub:type="pagebreak"/>

      which would look like this for the above examples:

      <p class="bodytext">Idel illandia suntusdae quoditint debitatissit quam quamus magnimus es quiaeper elor eper<span id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="2" epub:type="pagebreak"/>nat quo con re nimus?</p>

      con<span id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="2" epub:type="pagebreak"/>sists

      head<span id="page3" role="doc-pagebreak" aria-label="3" epub:type="pagebreak"/>ward</span>

      Personally, I'd think using a pair of <span> / </span> tags WITHOUT an additional space should work out, too, if you absolutely must use a tag pair for whatever reason.

      However, I would strongly urge you to change the implementation to conform to the W3C recommendation.

      Either way, the current behaviour creates errors on EPUB export which are not present in the indd source file - so please change this as soon as possible.

   5. Test files

      How am I supposed to supply a sample file if I am neither allowed to upload indd, idml, epub or zip files‽

      Since I raised this issue on the Community board first, please go there for the sample files: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/page-navigation-markers-for-epub-interrupt-hyphenated-words/m-p/14636220#M575090

9. Object Style defined to ignore Nonprinting changes Nonprinting status when applied to grouped frames

   Object Style defined to ignore Text Wrap & Other, when applied to a group of two frames where one has Nonprinting applied and the other does not, changes the Nonprinting status.

   Expected result: attributes in a category that is greyed out will be ignored, including Nonprinting.

   Actual result: Nonprinting turned off and frame prints and is visible in Overprint Preview.

   Pictured: The only intended purpose of the object style is to change position of frame. 1: The two frames are grouped. Large frame is live, small frame is note for designer. 2: The object style as defined. (By the way, the Text Wrap attributes are not listed in the style definition summary in the Object Style Options panel.) 3: After invoking the object style, the Nonprinting attribute of the small frame is now unchecked.

10. One plate prepared pdf images are separated to four plates in final pdf book

    InDesign 2020 v 15.02, MacOS Catalina

    I want to produce a book pdf with only black plate. I placed 3 grey pdf images in ID document and prepared them to use only black color (no cyan, magenta and yellow). The final result is that these images are separated to four plates in pdf book.

    The solution is to save these 3 pdf images as for example tiff or psd and then place them into ID. Then the final result is right: I have a one-plate pdf book using only black color.

    If this is a bug, please fix it, because it may cause problems with preparing book for print.

    —

    Update:
    I created pdf with the same image but with unchecked option "Optimize file…” and the colors are separated again. If I check this option, the problem doesn’t occur.

    It’s really dangerous to have a bug like this. If I didn’t check pdf in Acrobat Pro, I would lead to extra cost of four plates instead of one.

11. InDesign Fonts folder no longer respects symlinks (2019, Mac)

    The Fonts folder in the InDesign 2019 application folder no longer follows symlinks, as previous versions did.

    I prefer to keep my InDesign fonts separate from my system fonts, and in previous versions placed a symlink to my font folder in the InDesign application folder, titled "Fonts." InDesign would follow that link, and I would have access to all of my fonts within InDesign, without needing to install them user- or system-wide.

    In InDesign 2019, no symlinks are followed - not on the top level, and not inside the folder either. (Tested by symlinking one font or one folder inside a new Fonts folder.)

    One description of the method: https://glyphsapp.com/tutorials/testing-your-fonts-in-adobe-apps
    Thread where others comment on this: https://forum.glyphsapp.com/t/adobe-fonts-folder-for-indesign-cc-2019/9971

12. InDesign CC2019 - faux bold text issue when exporting pdf.

    Only the pages with text+jpg are exported properly.
    The pages with any other image type with some transparency, i.e. psd, ai, even png, have bold text after exporting to pdf.

    It's an old issue, coming back every now and then in many InDesign editions in the past. So we all should know how to deal with it, shouldn't we? Well, here is the rub. The trick with the text placed on a separate layer on the top doesn't work anymore. Nothing works, actually. It's a major bug. A reason to downgrade to the last correct version. I needed to export a very important work today and I have spent most of my day trying to work this out. I have downgraded to CS6 eventually, just to be sure that it would work. And it did, but hey! This is not the solution.

    Another workaround that I know of is to print your publication to pdf instead of exporting. But still. It is a huge bug and we need you to deal with it real fast.

13. Dreamweaver and Indesign allocating all available memory

    I have an M1 iMac (8gb ram and 256 SSD) no matter how small or big the project I'm working on is, after about 10mins it takes over 90% of all available memory! Although I have adjusted to saving and quitting after every 10mins, I would love for this not to be an issue in the first place.

    Details: I open the application to work on school projects. Some projects as small as 1 spread and only text (no images) and some over 10 pages with many images. The bigger projects cap out memory around the same time as the smaller ones. I turn down display graphics and even try using CPU preview instead of GPU, this does nothing to the performance. Indesign works great with no buffers and is incredibly smooth up until the very moment the macOS brings up the dialogue screen that asks me to force quit applications to avoid computer damage.

14. 3 Bugs one Update > Edge smoothing doesnt work correctly > Effects previews and use doesent work correctly and shredderesd text >

    After the last update, the following things no longer work properly:
    1. CC Libraries
    (Crashes and shows either a reduced or enlarged section of the library and is no longer usable. Only a program restart helps ... short term! see screenshot 1. the bug was already in Illustrator!)

    1. edge smoothing! (Not only since the update): ... Does not work properly for quite some time! 2.1 Completely covered areas, lines and graphics have a slight contour due to the edge smoothing and become minimally visible (although these would actually be invisible and not visible in print) or form minimally soft edges, or corners where there are none! (see screenshot 2) 2.2 Frames with effects and in which images are loaded whose outer edges are 100 percent transparent, form fine gray outer lines on the outer edges where there are none!
    2. effect & effect preview: no longer works properly with texts and shreds them after scaling or makes them invisible! A problem which I never had before and what worked wonderfully before the update. (S. Scrrenshot 3)

    In addition, as an addition bugs in Íllustrator with 3D extrusions and invited images on it! Bugs with Adobe RAW: Zoom Scollrad works no longer or only stuttery!

    Dear Adobe team, what is going on? The whole thing costs a lot of time, a lot of money and nerves ... infinite nerves!!!!!!!!! It's starting to remind me of QuarkXpress!

    ---

    I am working on MAC OS Catalina 10.15.7 (19H1217)
    iMac Pro (2017)
    3.2 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon W
    32 GB 2666 MHz DDR4
    Radeon Pro Vega 56 8 GB

    ??????
    How should I explain this to my screenshare customer????? Oh it could look great ... in print. Unfortunately I can't show it to them right now!

    ---

    german:
    Nach dem letztem Update, funktionieren folgende Dinge nicht mehr Ordnungsgemäß:
    1. CC Libraries
    (Stürzt ab und zeigt entweder einen verkleinerten oder vergrößerten Ausschnitt der Libary und ist nicht merh nutzbar. Nur ein Programmneustart hilft … kurzfristig! s. Screenshot 1. Den Bug gab es schon mal in Illustrator!)

    1. Kantenglättung! (Nicht erst seit dem Update): …
       Funktioniert seit geraumer Zeit nicht mehr ordnungsgemäß!
       2.1. Vollständig abgedeckte Flächen, Linien und Grafiken haben durch die Kantenglättung auf einmal ein leichte Kontur und werden minimal sichtbar (Obwohl diese eigentlich unsichtbar und im Druck nicht sichtbar wären) oder bilden minimal weiche Kanten, oder Ecken wo keine sind! (S. Screenshot 2)
       2.2 Rahmen mit die mit Effekten versehen sind und in denen Bilder eingeladen werden deren Ausskanten zu 100 Prozent transparent sind, bilden an den Aussenkanten feine graue aussenlinien, wo keine sind!

    2. Effekt & effektvoschau:
       funktioniert nicht mehr richtig bei Texten und zerschreddert diese nach Skallierung oder macht diese unsichtbar! Ein Problem welches ich bislang nie hatte und was vor dem Update wunderbar funktionierte. (S. Scrrenshot 3)

    Dazu als Beigabe Bugs bei Íllustrator mit 3D-Extrusionen und eingeladen Bildern darauf! Bugs bei Adobe RAW: Zoom Scollrad funktinóniert nicht mehr oder nur stotterhaft!

    Liebes Adobe-Team, was ist los? Das ganze kostet viel Zeit, viel Geld und Nerven .. unendlich viel Nerven!!!!!!!!! Es erinnert mich allmählich an QuarkXpress!
    !

15. Change of indesign behaviour regarding form elements - problems of non printing elements

    Indesign Version 15.12x64 Windows

    I opened an old document (paper registration/order form) and suddenly became aware that something has happened.

    A lot of input fields was visible - in the old version i did never see tham in this view.

    But this was not the problem.

    The problem was, that if I converted the cocument to PDF with the STANDARD PRINT preset , all boxes were gone.

    After some investigation i found out, that those have been converted to intaractive elements also without my knowledge.

    Only after i changed the option "INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS" the very last option on the PDF export dialog box, to "consider appeareance /(original: Erscheinungsbild berücksichtigen in my german version)" these boxes also appeared in the PDF document.

    Also i found no way to hide the interactive elements - the only way was the standard hide frame borders option or the preview option

17. ID crashes when call method "createHyperlinkQRCode" on Rectangle from "afterOpen" event handler

    ID 18.1 Windows 10

    I'm trying to develop a script that updates the QR code (creates anew in the same Rectangle ) when the document is opened.

    The Startup Script sets the event handler of the "afterOpen" event, where the "createHyperlinkQRCode" method is called on the found Rectangle object.

    In this case, InDesign crashes with an error
    <crash exception="EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" exceptionCode="0xc0000005" instruction="0x00007FFD49229914">

    Creating a QR code manually through the main menu does not cause errors. The error does not occur when the script calls the "createHyperlinkQRCode" method on the Document object. But in this case, I have to point with the cursor to the place of inserting the QR code, and this creates an unnecessary waste of time.

    If the script is called from the script panel, it works without errors, which indicates that there are no errors in the script.

    I tried the following layouts (they cause the same error and crash InDesign):
    (1) Preferred option. Call the QR code creation method directly in the "afterOpen" event handler.
    (2) I extended the Rectangle object with an additional method that is called in the "afterOpen" event handler.
    (3) I made a separate script that can be run manually. It works if I run it manually. And crashes if I call this script in the "afterOpen" event handler using doScript().

18. Hyperlinks to text anchors in separate interactive pdfs not working Indesign 19.5 & 19.4.

    Bug in Indesign 19.4 & 19.5
    System: Mac Studio, M2 Ultra, Sonoma 14.6.1

    Hyperlinks to text anchors in separate interactive pdfs not working Indesign 19.5 & 19.4.
    1. create two pages with text anchors at the top. each page has two buttons, one leading the the other pdf (see files attached) each doc exported as Interactive PDF. In abode Acrobat (or any pdf reader) when you click the button it will not open the linked document.
    This feature does work in Indesign 19.3. But I would like to be able to update to the latest versions....

19. Endnotes and multi-language layers

    InDesign CC 13.1

    As a long-time user of ID, I want to report what looks to me like a serious bug.

    Working on a multi-language book project for the first time since the endnotes feature was introduced, I noticed that when importing the second language on a separate layer (as I have been doing for many years without any problems) the endnotes are imported with correct references in the text but the notes themselves lose their numbers, showing the dreaded <?> instead.
    Trying to work around the problem using David Blatner's DTP tools' "import layers" feature gives the same result.
    It is my experience that the Introduction of the second language with its notes also jumbles up the arrangement of the notes of the first language (which were alright to begin with).

    Since we are making books in simultaneously published language editions all the time, the possibility to combine the use of both endnotes and layers is crucial. Now, in the middle of the project I had to revert to the old ways with separate files for separate languages, which is a pain as you can imagine.

    I would even settle for forgoing the assets of the endnotes function and working with "dead" endnotes—as I have been doing for so many years—in order to regain the benefit of using layers, but, unfortunately, this version of ID does not allow me to import the notes as normal text.

    Thanks for your help.

20. Master Items misssing when used based on page

    Using Windows 7 or Mac OS no matter even it's in preview Indesign CC.

    I found this and very annoying to fix it manually in master page items.

    Steps Created Master Page A for body text pages
    Created master Page B: As a chapter opener. It's based on Master A. Only removed top running header.

    Now applied in pages:
    Left side page : Master Page A.
    Right side page chapter opener and applied Master Page B

    Result: Part of Running Header is disappear in Left Side Page, right side page ok as is.

    Am I missing something. Getting this kind of result from previous version of Indesign CC

    PS: When I removed based on features. Everything is ok. Even If item is within page, then also it's ok. If the items is touching the page edge or bleeding then it disappears.

    After further investigating, came to this conclusion: it only happens if used based on features in master pages and after removing editing header part. Effects on the item that bleeds. in this case Master page A.

    Refer the attachment for details.
