Indesign não consegue importar determinados objetos de um arquivo do Illustrator ou em PDF.
Ao importamos com link ativado um arquivo do Illustrator, algumas camadas somem. Percebo que o erro ocorre de forma mais consistente com fotografias. Às vezes, alguns objetos coloridos mais complexos, como shapes com gradiente ou marcas muito coloridas, são importadas com erro ou simplesmente não aparecem.
Exportei em PDF e o erro persiste. O que me faz acreditar que o erro esteja no módulo de importação com compatibilidade PDF.Ao importar em .jpg, vem normalmente, mas isso gera mais tempo de trabalho e tenho que importar todas as paginas novamente.

Change language
Hi
I have installed InDesign version 21.1 x64 for Windows with norwegian menus. I try to change menus from norwegian to english, but it does not work. I uninstalled InDesign and went to Creative Cloud Desktop -Apps. - Preferences - and changed the language to english and reinstalled InDesign. The menus are still in Norwegian. Why does that happen? Will you please give me an answer.

Lenteur extrême indesign 2026
Bonjour,
depuis environ 1 semaine (dernière mise à jour 21.1 x64 d'InDesign sur PC), chaque lettre ajoutée à un document dans InDesign 2026 met presque 10 secondes avant d'apparaître et que je puisse agir de nouveau sur mon document. Même chose pour sélectionner un mot ou pour effectuer la moindre action dans un texte en cours d'édition. seule le curseur bouge normalement, mais il disparaît tant que l'action en cours n'a pas été réalisée.
J'ai désinstallé et réinstallé InDesign en supprimant les préférences. rien n'a changé.
J'ai réinitialisé les préférences et rien n'a changé.
Mon système est très récent :…1 vote -
Table of Contents running heads
The Table of Contents should have an option to include just the running head portion of a paragraph, often in a bold style in my documents. Otherwise one has to manually strip out all the text that follows after a running head in the Table of Contents.

BUG: InDesign 2025–2026 forces pasted Illustrator vectors to embedded EPS
Description:
InDesign 2025–2026 frequently forces pasted Illustrator vector artwork to be placed as embedded EPS, even when the artwork is extremely simple (few paths, no effects, no transparency).When pasting from Illustrator, the following warning appears:
“This command would create a large number of page items and would severely degrade performance. Data will be placed as embedded EPS.”After confirming the warning, the pasted object is no longer editable:
- Ungroup is unavailable
- Individual vector paths cannot be selected
- Fill and stroke cannot be edited
- The object cannot be used as an image frameSteps to Reproduce:…

Assets disappear when dragging off the page onto the artboard.
Version 21.1 x64
Assets disappear when dragging them off the page and onto the artboard. This also causes the the preview to ignore everything outside of the bleed effectively eliminating the artboard entirely. See attached.

Show Import Options no longer remains enabled
The “Show Import Options” checkbox does not remain enabled in the “Place” dialog. In some cases, it stays checked for one or two items, but when importing more than that, the option is automatically deselected.
Previously, this setting remained enabled. While this may appear to be a minor issue, it causes significant inconvenience and seriously disrupts the workflow.

New image replacement functionality
InDesign question. I work with placeholder images quite often in low resolution (LR). I then need to replace them with the high resolution (HR) versions once approved. This was always a simple task of replacing the LR image with the new HR image via the links panel. The new image would replace the old exactly, no resizing required. Since the latest update this is not the case. The new image comes in at completely the wrong size and I have to go through the document to rework EVERY image. As you can imagine this is very frustrating. Why has this…

unable to share indesign file via InCopy beta for editing.
Unable to share an indesign file via InCopy beta for editing. User has created a free adobe account. This feature was recently demonstrated at the Creative Pro InDesign online conference and touted as being available for non-paid adobe account holders (you just need to create a free account to use) but this does not appear to be true at all. User created a free account but cannot access the InCopy document without doing a trial (resulting in paying for InCopy).
