4. Pasteboard issues

Pasteboard margins changes to 10 mm and 10 mm when I paste into the document and it only happens on one page, even if I have multiple pages in the document. This is happening since I updated Indesign from 2025 to 2026 on Windows 11. This causes me to fix the pasteboard size many times throughout the day over and over again.> >

InDesign does, in fact, open automatically - but it opens an older version, which should not be there! I have tried changing the app in which *.indd files should open, but it makes no difference.> >

16. placing illustrator images

He had a some columns and rows of circles that display and print in a totally different way then they are in the Illustrator file, and some white shapes he had on top of a solid color area disappeared. Everything is fine in Indesign when it is first placed, but if he goes back into Illustrator makes a change and then updates the modified link, that is when the change occurs. The only work around we found was saving the Illustrator file as an older version of Illustrator and then using that file in InDesign. I've never seen anything like this.> >
