Profiles conversion doesn't work anymore with InDesign export PDF
>>>Hello,
>
> Sorry for my approximative english.
> It's no longer possible to do high-res PDF export from InDesign because it doesn't convert color profiles correctly (it seems InDesign consider there is no profil on imported documents). Same conversions works fine on Photoshop.
> We use InDesign CC 14.0.1 and joboptions we made (PDF/X-1a:2001 - Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) - convert to destination : ISO Coated V2) with Bridge coordination.
> We're a big french comic books publisher and it's a very important problem for our workflow.
> It's like a bug, I try some things I found on forums, but nothing works (delete all preferences and reinstall Bridge...), but maybe I missed something.
> Anybody would have an idea to fix it?
> Adobe team, please help us to solve this big problem.

Assets renamed in web view of CC Libraries don't retain name when imported into document
>>>I've been creating some CC Libraries with quite a few logo assets and have found it easier to do the renaming of the files in web view because it lets me copy/paste a file name, whereas the CC Libraries panel does not.
>>I've just come across the issue that even though the names appear to have synced when I view the files in the Libraries panel, when I drag/drop or right-click > Place a file into my actual document, the name disappears from the asset in the Links panel. It defaults to whatever it was when i created the asset (usually Artwork 1). The only way to fix it is to rename it again inside the CC Libraries panel, which I was trying to avoid.

Allow for updating text thread when rearranging pages.
>>>Allow for a more efficient way to rearrange pages and page content once page layouts have been created. Currently, rearranging pages breaks numbered lists and moving text within story editor breaks the visual layout.

Copying a page: Wrong position
>>>When making a copy of a page, for example a copy of page 1, the new copy lands on a wrong position in the page palette.
>
> 1. Click and drag page 1 in the page palette while holding the alt-key. Then move mouse to the right, until a line appears between pages 1 and 2.
> 2. Releasing the mouse button should result in a copy of page 1 between the original page 1 and 2. All subsequent page numbers should increase by 1.
> 3. Instead of landing on position 2, the copied page appears on position 3.>This issue has surfaced since the version before the latest.

numbered list
>>>When a long numbered list extends to the next page, the first list on the next page will indent outside of the margins. To correct, I just reapply the style. It happens after closing and opening the document several times without me even working on that page. I'm having to check the exported PDF every time when I do an update to the file.

Export options locked
>>>Hi., When customising the Workspace [ i.e. colouring menus and adding Panels to the Panel Dock ] on an Apple Mac, and then subsequently using File->Export, the Drop down list of Export formats are locked out [ i.e. I cannot go from PDF Print to any other format ]. To resolve I have to go back to one of the default Workspaces such as Essentials etc, and then the Dropdown can be accessed. This happens in all recent releases of InDesign including 2019. I imagine the root cause of the fault is more the colouring of the menus rather than docking extra panels to the right of the screen [ when customising the workspace ]

Major lagging/hanging when typing text and selecting objects
>>>InDesign 14.0.1; Windows 10
>>I was experiencing some major lag when typing text, up to 30 seconds. Even when text started to appear, words would appear only one letter at a time with significant delay in between. The problem then expanded to selecting and moving objects around on a page. InDesign for me has been unusable for the past few hours (Jan. 25, 2019 from 1:30 - 4:30pm EST). I even tried reverting back to version 14.0 and had no luck. Rebooted several times. I then went into my system restore and saw that earlier today a Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable update was installed. I restored my computer to the state it was in prior to this event, since everything was working for me before, and voila. Seems to be working again as expected.
>>Not sure the update was, in fact, the culprit, but figured I'd mention it here to help others or to help with a future fix. :)
>>Thank you!

Oswald Book Font Installed on Windows but doesn't work in InDesign
>>>I am using InDesign CC 14.0 for Windows 7 and I am having trouble with a font called Oswald. I have 3 fonts from the family Oswald installed on my computer (book, light, and bold). However, Oswald Book does not work in InDesign. It works in Illustrator and Microsoft Word so it appears to be an InDesign issue rather than a font installation issue.

Converting footnotes to endnotes ignores some endnote-settings
>>>Indesign CC 2019 (oct)
>>When converting footnotes to endnotes the endnotes-settings for creating them at the end of story or in a place gun are ignored. Endnotes from converted footnotes are always placed in a new frame at the end of document.
>>Expected behaviour: Converted footnotes should appear in the place gun if the endnote-setting says so.
>>(Sidenote/Opinion: letting indesign insert a >single> page seems like a workaround - as this might reflow a large document and also totally jumble up the page composition. I know that ID has become way more clever in dealing with odd/even switching of pages with different inner/outer margins. Thanks for that! The placegun is great idea though.)
