1. Button Action 'Go back to previous VIEW' not working

   I use Adobe InDesign 20.3x64 2025 version

   I tried creating the interactive button in the Parent, in the normal pages, did all the troubleshoot tips I found, i.e. view the PDF file in Acrobat, ensured there is no special character in the file name, that I export correctly, deleted InDesign preferences.... I can't make the button work.

2. Place/import file grey save delay

   When placing an image file into InDesign, if recently saved, the file is greyed out and can't be imported (even if I wait). Have to exit import window and go back in. Super annoying.

3. panels

   For the past few days, the InDesign panel frame has been showing up but the content is empty. Only certain panels (alignment) are not visible. It doesn't show up even if I reset it.

4. Adobe Fonts not accessible in interactive PDFs

   Bug: Adobe Fonts are corrupting when using the Acrobat accessibility tools.

   I am making interactive PDFs from an InDesign document and Adobe Fonts corrupt upon opening in Acrobat, but just for the accessible features. (e.g., screeenreaders). I have tried clearing the cache, re-installing apps, Adobe customer support reps, etc and no one can fix the issue. I suspect it is due to licensing restrictions on editing font files - something is sending the signal that the Adobe Font is being edited when Accessibility Tools are used in Acrobat, but this should be allowed when the intention is to make the document accessible.

   1. Adobe InDesign 19.5.4 (also tried previous versions such as 20.4.1)
   2. Use Acumin Variable Pro font from Adobe in InDesign, make the document interactive (basic text form fields suffice to replicate the error), export as interactive PDF, open in Acrobat, open a screenreader and hear the corruption or open Accessibility Tools and tag the text (on a non-interactive part) and then see the text is missing letters and there are periods where spaces should be. Also, Acrobat crashes half the time during this process.
   3. Expected result - that Adobe Fonts work as other fonts in this scenario and that exports PDFs using Adobe Fonts can be edited for accessibility without issue.
   4. Crashed app, incomplete work, and failed accessible document.
   5. Can provide test file if you contact me privately (adobe).

5. Close/Minimize/Maximize buttons are hidden under the top menu on Mac OS

   For some reason the very top bar of the InDesign window is hidden underneath the top menu (File, Edit, etc.), making it impossible to minimize or move the window to another monitor. Currently the only solution I've found is to unplug my external monitor's HDMI cable from my Macbook which forces the InDesign window to appear properly.

7. Text formatting is lost when copy and paste a text box on the same page or to another page in the same document

   Copy an paste text box, the text formatting is lost in the pasted text box. Reverts to Forte font. Also, cannot change the font in the pasted text box. The font reader will say it is the new chosen font, but the visual of the text is not reflecting the actual font chosen. Have to redraw and rewrite text every time to have the font and formatting desired.

9. InDesign changes my page size

   Whenever I set up a new document, say 11" X 8.5", auto-select landscape of course applies itself, and I move past that point in the New Document dialog box, InDesign changes my set document specs to whatever was previously selected for the last document size. Why?

   I then have to go back into the page size settings after opening the new document and correct it.

10. Reapply the master without losing information in text frames from the master

    This is complicated to describe, so I'm going to use a not-so-great example. In PowerPoint you can put "placeholders" on the master pages. If you make a change to the position of the placeholder and update the slide everything moves into the correct position.

    I'd like to be able to do something like that with text frames on the master in InDesign. The problem I'm having is that because I can't have two "primary text frames" on the master, I have to command-shift click to get the second text frame to be active. Once I do that, however, I can never reapply the master, because if I do, the text in the command-shift-clicked frame will disappear. The text in the primary text frame will not.

    Is this something you guys can fix? I understand the idea of primary text flow, so you can't necessarily link things automatically in the second frame - although maybe there could be a way of marking the frames so that they do flow properly.

    The issue is, I'm working on documents for the pharmaceutical industry and they need to run Important Safety Information thoughout the document. This frame would be at the bottom, while the other primary text frame would be at the top.

11. Find/Replace text (date) after using Convert Date to Text function

    I am trying to replace text in multiple stories throughout the document. Each story is formatted with text and tabs (not a table). The find/change uses the FIND/CHANGE>TEXT option. I am searching for "28 May 2025" to change it to "2 July 2025". When I search, find, find/change, and change all, the results append the page number in triplicate in front of the leading date digit. For example, page 9 (attached) is "0909092 July 2025" and page 42 is "4242422 July 2025". When I copied the text to include in this report (see attached), only date date is captured in the clipboard (2 July 20v25).

    The reason I was doing this is I wanted to change the date to a output date Text Variable. I had hoped text variables were part of find change: the find is available in GREP, but not in the Change To options.

    So, just prior to producing the error above, I added the Output Date in the position I wanted. I could not copy the variable and use it in the Change To field, so I used the Covert Variable to Text that one instance of the output date. I copied the text '2 July 2025", and used the basic Find/Change>Text intending to change "28 May 2025" to change it to "2 July 2025". That's when ID appends the six digits that are three pairs of the page number.

    Everything works as planned if I duplicate the original document, and repeating the process leaving out the Convert to Text option.

13. Still getting blank screen after sleep on MacOS Apple Silicon

    ID 20.4.1. Been getting this issue on and off, by far OFF, for over a year now. After sleep with app open, returning to current work renders a blank screen, AND no green yellow red window icons which happens less often but has been happening for years and years.

15. InDesign version 20.4.1: The Y coordinates for lines are the same with the top edge and the bottom.

    See attached video. I'm also having trouble updating Creative Cloud despite following every recommended fix, including repair. It won't let me delete it unless I also delete every Adobe product. VERY frustrating.

19. Where is the link to online Files in Creative Cloud Desktop?

    Up until recently, when I shared InDesign files, I was able to open the CC Desktop app, go to Files > Files, and there would be a direct link to my online files. That very convenient feature has disappeared completely. My workaround has been to add an internet shortcut to my Windows Explorer files.

    I have been told that it was removed because of problems on the backend with InDesign, but if that were the case, then I would have also been able to access that direct link in CC Desktop for files shared from Photoshop or Illustrator. It's bad enough that the Acrobat files are in a completely different area, but I've gotten used to that.

    Am I the only one that finds myself needing to view the online version of a review file instead of just relying on the comments I can see in InDesign?

20. When Application Frame is Turned Off, News Windows Size Behind GUI/Tools

    I'm one of the many users that doesn't like the Application Frame in either Illustrator or InDesign because I usually like to drag&drop things or switch between applications on my Mac as I work creatively.

    I hate that when a new window is generated (opening a file or creating a new one) it is sized beyond the size of my laptop screen and always BEHIND my docked tools in both Illustrator and InDesign software. Photoshop has the sense not to do this so whats going on with these other tools???

    I have to drag the new window over just to get to a corner and scale it back down to match my work environment every single time. Really frustrating and it seems like such an easy fix. Please, please let's do a little QA for UX and UI on these 2 important tools. I would truly appreciate that and so would a large number of your other user-base, I'm sure.
