4: Adjust size via Fit commands
5. Find numerous tiny faces, both apparently drawn and photos e.g. black and white photos of faces, have suddenly appeared in the artwork.
Screenshot is attached with only the most obvious faces circled in green. There are many more.1 vote -

Indesign crashes when attempting to copy or delete a table with an anchored text form field.
Mac Monteray 12.7.6 - Indesign 2024
I'm using tables to hold form fields for a PDF form. When a text form field is anchored in a table, copying the table will cause text fields to disappear. Continuing to copy or delete that table will eventually cause a InDesign to crash. When reopening Indesign none of the menu commands work properly and I have to use Command Q to quit InDesign again and reopen in order to continue my work.
1 voteWe have released InDesign 2025(v20.2.0.036) with many stability fixes. We recommend you upgrade to the latest version (if you’re not already on it) as it is more robust.

Hypertextual link panel doesn't work properly
Hypertextual link panel: in 2024 version when I add a long URL selecting it from the text and using the "+" button, it doesn't add all the selected text but only some chars. You have to double click the row in the panel and add the rest of the link in the field

Arabic: wrong character order
Arabic: wrong character order
As of InDesign version 19.2, numbers together with certain characters display incorrectly. Before version 19.2, in case you have e.g. 30% (in English), this should display as %30 in Arabic. As of 19.2, I have to add a right-to-left marker to have the right output; otherwise it will be displayed as 30%. Consequence is that in case linguists don't add the marker, all numbers or sequences display incorrectly.
This is very error prone.1 vote -

InDesign Beta can't open/convert PDF files
- InDesign Beta 19.5 x64.
- Try to open a PDF file.
- I expect PDFs designed in InDesign to be openable.
- When I try to open a PDF file (which has been designed in InDesign), nothing happens. The program acts like I haven't tried to open a file at all. The work area remains empty.
A redditor has the same problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/indesign/comments/1d4o74e/indesign_beta_cant_open_convert_pdf/

Hilfe - PDF in deutsch
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
meine Meldung an den Support wurde sofort bearbeitet. Leider kamen wir auf das Ergebnis, dass die Hilfe - PDF leider nicht auf u.a. "deutsch" vorgehalten wird.
Vom Support konnte ich direkt die links bekommen, diese waren alle nur in englisch erhältlich.
Mein Problem,...
da wir eine JVA sind und die Strafgefangenen keinen Internetzugang haben, kann ich diesen, zur Optimierung ihres Wissens, keine Literatur an die Hand geben die im Internet vorgehalten wird.Wir benötigen die Hilfe-PDF in deutsch für folgende Programme:
- Indesign
- Photoshop
- Illustrator
Vielleicht gibt es ja in Zukunft eine Lösung für diese Problem.Weiter habe ich Ihnen noch unseren Mailverlauf aufgeführt.
Ich danke Ihnen und wünsche ein schönes Wochenende.
Sehr geehrte/r JAN MOHR,

Der letzte Kommentar zu dem Fall war:
• Letzter Kommentar:Sehr geehrter Herr Mohr,vielen Dank, dass Sie den Adobe-Enterprise-Kundendienst bezüglich Ihrer Anfrage zu "Tutorials offline ansehen" kontaktiert haben.
Ich habe von Ihnen, auf meine letzte Kontaktaufnahme mit Ihnen, noch keine Rückmeldung erhalten."Wie von Ihnen gewünscht sende ich Ihnen den Link für die Hilfs- PDFs nochmals per Email zu. Sollte sich der Text nicht in deutscher Sprache öffnen, scrallen sie bitte im Bericht bis ganz nach unten und stellen sie dann die Sprache unten links unter "Region ändern/ change region" auf die gewünschte Sprache um.
In unserem System ist derzeit die von Ihnen gewünschte Option des Herunterladens der Kehrvideos nicht möglich. Daher möchte ich Sie bitten die von mir schon zuvor gesendeten PDF- Hilfsartikel in PDF- Form herunterzuladen, was zumindest ein erster Schritt wäre: https://helpx.adobe.com/de/x-productkb/global/offline-help.html (Verwenden der Offlinehilfe bei Adobe-Produkten)"Sollte es möglich sein Ihre Schüler in Klassenumgebungen zu unterrichten, dann wäre das Benutzen eines beaufsichtigten Rechners mit Internetzugang, der die Lehrvideos über einen Beamer an die Wand projeziert eine gute Alternative.
Hinsichtlich Adobe Programmen, Prozessen und anderen Anliegen haben Sie die Möglichkeit Ihr Feedback direkt unter https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html einzusenden. Adobe versucht stets Vorschläge, Wünsche und Empfehlungen unserer Kunden zu berücksichtigen.
Wir bedanken uns für Ihre Zusammenarbeit und Ihr Vertrauen.

Windows 10 / InDesign 19.5 x64 - Text Frame and Zoom Window Problems
When attempting to use the Text Tool to creat a text frame by using the click / drag / release method either nothing happens (99% of the time), the text frame is invisble (I confirmed a text frame was created by viewing 'Undo Create Text Frame'), the release of the mouse pointer occurs on its own.
Expected result: create a text frame in a single movement: left click the mouse on a location, drag while the mouse button is held down, release the button to create a text frame
Actual result: 99% of the time nothing
When using the click / drag / release method with the Zoom tool nothing happens.
I believe the two observed problem are related.
I have closed InDesign and renamed the InDesign Defaults file and reopened InDesign to create a fresh defaults file. No joy.
I even purchased Adobe InDesign Classroom in a Book 2024 Release in hope that there woul be a clue to the problem there. The same problem exists using their lesson files.
In the past I have never encountered this problem.
My system:
Intel Core i7 @ 3.41 GZ x64 / 16 GB Ram with plenty of free disk space

Problema al usar la lupa en pantalla hdmi
Indesign 19.5
.Problema con la lupa: cuando uso indesign en la segunda pantalla (hdmi), cundo amplias hace una ampliación máxima y después no permite disminuir, tienes que encajar en pantalla para volver a ver el documento completo. Esto en la pantalla nativa del macbook pro no pasa.
Este problema no pasa con otros programas de adobe como ilustrator o photoshop.1 vote -
gradient color fill of many highlighted individual table cells can not performed
There must be more controls of the filling methods of table cells:
1. We must be able to select multiple many cells at once
2. We must able to apply gradients to selected cells individually
3. The whole table style including type of filling of individual cells, vertical and horizontal strokes, border, etc. must be saved in table styles and be applied totally to other tables
4. each table cell must have individual path and 4 corner controls
5. you must provide some elegant shapes of the table header1 vote -

text color not showed in track change
In the Story Editor, when Track Changes is activated, there are 3 types of visual indicators for change: text color, background color, and marking. In practice only the marking and the background color work, while the text color is always displayed in black. Attached is a screenshot.

Overridden page items are still linked to master pages
Overridden items from parent pages are not really overridden, and may be silently deleted. Here is how:
- Make new spread document
- Go to Parent Page "A-Parent"
- Make a red box on left master page. Make a green box on right master page
- Add two pages to the document, page 2 and 3 is now a spread with a red and a green box
- Select the two pages in the pages panel. Right-click and choose "Override all parent page items"
- Move the green box from page 3 to page 2 by dragging it. Move the red box from page 2 to page 3.
- Drag the parent Page A to page 3.
- BOOM: the green box on page two is deleted. It should NOT be. The red box is kept. As it should.
If you instead of moving the box, use cut and paste it will NOT be deleted. [works as expected]
There are many ways to Override an item from its parent pages. All gives the same error.
It will happen on any number of objects or groups.If an item is released from its master page it should not be affected by changes on the master page. I consider this a bug. This has been so for years.
