overprinting a flat white color
I ask for a simple flag that allows any color - even white - to behave as an opaque spot color and also allows overprinting as is the case in screen printing or offset printing in special colours. This request is not a chimera, but a real need of enormous importance.

suggest uppercase accented characters as alternatives
Italian keyboards with accented characters, do not have any way of typing uppercase accented characters. Consequently, when CAPS LOCK is on, all characters will be uppercase except the accented characters. When selecting an accented character, I get the suggestion to use the alternate glyph (which is often like a small caps character). It would be useful to have the choice of the uppercase version of a character among the suggested alternate glyphs. I suppose this could work both ways for all characters: uppercase should be a choice of alternate glyph for all lowercase characters, and lowercase should be a choice…

Page Label Not Inherited from Parent to Document Page
I'm assigning a page label to a parent page using by script like
myParentPage=app.activeDocument.masterSpreads.itemByName("PRD-Products").pages[0];
myParentPage.insertLabel("page", "products");When I insert a new document page based on this parent page, the page label is NOT inherited but just empty.

InDesign won't finish export IMDL file. Hangs at 38% and must force quit program.
I can’t export to a file IMDL. The export process stops at 38% and won't finish. The problem is only with this file. Other InDesign files export to IMDL as expected. I have InDesign installed on 2 computers. One running win11 and one running win10. Same problem occurs on both machines. No errors reported on original file.
I have made a preflight file in other location and still get the same result. Preflight file attached as compressed archive. That can be downloded here https://drive.google.com/file/d/14pEyPRYOFQa20LUdoaqpaApQq1H2bTC_/view?usp=sharingI hav latest update InDesign 19.1

orthographe
Indesign 19.1
Impossible de modifer la langue en français dans la correction orthographe / dictionnaire.
La langue et le dictionnaire sont bien en français dans les paramètres.
Mais la correction orthographique se fait en anglais ou en italien : Le changement de dictionnaire ne fonctionne pas dans la fenêtre orthographe.1 vote -

Actual text duplicated as Alt-text on images in a list
When setting only actual text on images in a list, the images output with actual text but also Alt-text. This unnecessarily repeats information to assistive technology.
When the same image with only actual text is inside a paragraph instead, the actual text (and no Alt-text) correctly outputs to the PDF.
This happens in 19.0.1 (2024), and it happens in 2023.

InDesign 2024 Can't Scroll
I was forced to download the newest InDesign software by creative cloud and since doing so am unable to use my mousepad or mouse to scroll through documents. I have to use the side and bottom slider and thats the only way it will work. I have seen other students having the same issue, this makes the program way less efficient and time consumptive to use.

Crash when exporting to pdf - WHEN IS THIS GETTING FIXED
So I've had this issue now for over five years and still nothing has been fixed despite me sinking thousands of pounds in subscription fees to this steaming pile of an app. We do lots of presentations that have other indesign files as links and we are constantly getting crashes when we export to pdf - I've been on with adobe with this and they insist it's corrupt files that cause this, yet when I proved to them that it wasn't they just stopped replying to them - great customer service. The crash can simply happen when adding or deleting…

QR generated by text variable
Would be great if you could generate a QR Code from a text variable. Just for automation purposes. For instance on datasheets or brochures, where a single URL is used throughout in text, but also as a QR code on the last page.

MacOS Ventura 13.6.1, InDesign 19.1: fx (multiply, overlay, saturation etc) unavailable.
Working with images/objects: When I try to select options below Normal in the Effects dropdown (multiply, overlay, saturation etc), the dropdown snaps back to Normal. It's also impossible to change the Effect's opacity.

InD 19.1 export to IDML extends conditional text
- InDesign 19.1
- Create a doc with several paragraphs of text. Apply a condition to, say, the 2nd paragraph. Export to IDML. Open the exported doc.
- The reopened file should look like the original.
- The condition is now applied to additional paragraph(s). However, if the condition is removed from the paragraph marker, the problem disappears. There was a similar problem about 10 years ago saving docs with conditional text. The conditions would exin the same way. This happened just with normal saving, not exporting.

"PDF not Created in InDesign"
A PDF was exported from Adobe InDesign, opened in Abobe Acrobat, annotation tools were used, and the PDF was saved under a new file name. Attempting to open the comments in InDesign with the "Import PDF Comments" tool returns an error stating the PDF was not created in InDesign.... but it was, and only Adobe tools have been used.

Trackpad Scroll Not Working
Trackpad scrolling in Indesign 19.0.1 is unusable both horizontally and vertically. It sometimes works if I place my curser directly in the scroll bar, but outside of that when I try to scroll it either has a huge lag and skips around or just refuses to move my page. I work on a laptop with 100+ page documents daily so this is massively impacting my workflow.
