1. missing scripts after installation ID CC13.0/ID2018 Windows

   Startup scripts are no longer running after installation. The Scripts folder is empty.
   Indesign copies the folder from version 12 and creates the folder C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 13.0\de_DE
   But Indesign-scripts now are saved in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC 2018\Scripts
   So you have to copy the script folders by yourself.

   Need More Info  ·  Sumit Garg responded

   Hi,

   Thanks for reporting this issue. Just wanted to confirm few things:

   1) Was there some scripts present in folder C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 12.0\de_DE and these are not copied to 13.0 folder?
   2) Is your problem just limited to folder movement or you are facing the issue that your startup scripts are not running?

   Please provide more detail about the issue. Also, It would be useful if you can provide steps to reproduce the issue.

2. The UI is not scaling correctly on Windows 4k screens - UI too small

   Hi, I am having problems with the UI Scaling on InDesign on my 4k laptop. I am using the recommended system scaling of 250% which works well with other apps except for Adobe, most noticeably InDesign. I pay a premium price for Adobe CC which should be reflected in their products. The UI is way too small on InDesign compared to Illustrator and Photoshop.

   I also have problems in all adobe apps when using an external monitor to expand my screen size. Dragging the apps from one monitor to the other does all sorts of weird things.

   I have attached images showing the difference of the UI between Illustrator (which looks normal) and InDesign.

3. user preferences not holding

   Adobe InDesign CC 2017 - being used in a Virtual Machine (VM) - VMware Horizon Client.

   User preferences are not holding when I switch them to what I like. Yes I quite the application after setting them and then sometimes they will be the same but then sometimes when I open ID they revert back to the default settings.

4. Data Merge function "Honor existing frame fitting option" is not working on master pages

   Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server

   Adobe InDesign 15.0.1

   macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

   iMac 27 Zoll End 2012

   Steps to reproduce the issues
   See also attached video

   Open the file > 01ExposeTEMPXMLStart.indd
   Generate a merged document by clicking the button
   Choose "Honor existing frame fitting" in Content Placement Options
   Click [OK]
   Jump to page 1 in the merged document
   The pictures are placed without honoring the existing frame fitting options from the object style
   This only happens with frames that are placed on a master page. The same frame on a document page works fine

6. When will Indesign (and the whole adobe package) work with properly with Catalina?

   Indesign keeps crashing, version 2021, and earlier versions - tried this. Illustrator and photoshop, acrobat too. Very frustrating, luckily been able to work on my laptop instead. But as a good customer I am paying for software that isn't compatible with the platform that it is used with constantly? The update panel forces one to upgrade the OS and then it crashes. Pleaaaase fix this. 2020 is sad enough already

7. [ID-4257736]InDesign hangs when placing CJK tagged text with ruby

   I'm currently using ID 2024, but I have tested other versions of ID, back to CS6, and they all have the same problem. I'm currently running Windows 11, but the problem also occurs in Windows 10.

   Steps:

   1. Install the Adobe font family, Source Han Sans TW, on your computer.
   2. Download TaggedText.zip and unzip it
   3. Open InDesign in the CJK version
   4. Create a new document with these grid attributes: Direction = Vertical; Font = Source Han Sans TW, Normal; Size = 16 pt; Vertical = Horizontal = 100%; Char Aki = 0 pt; Line Aki = 10 pt; Characters = 40; Lines = 15
   5. Go File > Place... > choose TaggedText.txt
   6. After TaggedText.txt is loaded into the "cursor" <shift-click> inside the frame

   It would be nice if InDesign would place the text and allow me to continue working with the data. Unfortunately, InDesign hangs and I have to kill it with the Task Manager.

   UserVoice does not allow uploading zip files so here is the link to TaggedText.zip:
   https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pndkPDCXuja6eh3kv-Yipfzrq0UcsISd/view?usp=sharing
   (Contact me if you have problems downloading it.)

   I have a video showing how to reproduce the bug:
   https://www.loom.com/share/733195ba2f5a4b2abb6faae10835b4ad?sid=036cf1f2-a772-476c-a8ee-ab126ce0f2dd

   I'm pretty sure the problem is related to ruby in the tagged text. It is possible to place the text using the debug version of InDesign available through adobeprerelease.com which leads me to think that the tagged text is acceptable. My request is to fix the regular version of InDesign so that it can place this tagged text just like the debug version can.

   At this point InDesign is hung.

   I'm currently using ID 2024, but I have tested other versions of ID, back to CS6, and they all have the same problem. I'm currently running Windows 11, but the problem also occurs in Windows 10.

   Steps:

   1. Install the Adobe font family, Source Han Sans TW, on your computer.
   2. Download TaggedText.zip and unzip it
   3. Open InDesign in the CJK version
   4. Create a new document with these grid attributes: Direction = Vertical; Font = Source Han Sans TW, Normal; Size = 16 pt; Vertical = Horizontal = 100%; Char Aki = 0 pt; Line Aki = 10 pt; Characters = 40;… more

9. Inconsistent unit names in Czech version

   The "points" are called "body" in the Czech langauge., the short version is "b". Unfortunately Adobe CC apps are very inconsistent and you can find "b" (InDesign, Photoshop), "b." (InDesign) or even not translated "pt" (Illustrator).

   Please make it consistent. If you can't change it in all Adobe apps, at least make it "b" in InDesign. (Adobe CS 6 is correct, line thickness is represented as "b" while CC displays "b.".

11. New document size issues

    When I create a new document in any Adobe program (mostly InDesign) and select what size I want to change it to (whether it be custom or a print size), the size reverts back to a previous size. I have to do this 3-5 times before I get the size I want. It has been like this on the last few updates. I'm currently on the latest InDesign version 20.0 2025. Others I work with don't have the same issue and are on the same IOS (macOS Monterey 12.7.6) and InDesign as I am. Mac IOS and Adobe programs are all on the latest version available.

12. Hunspell dictionaries cannot be added in Sierra or High Sierra

    Adding Hunspell dictionaries breaks code-signing, and results in the whole of InDesign's spelling system being sand-boxed by OSX.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. On High Sierra and InDesign CC, add a Hunspell dictionary, as detailed here: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/add_cs_dictionaries.html

    2. Spell-check any InDesign document using the new dictionary and spell-checking then becomes unusable, until InDesign is uninstalled then re-installed.

    The following types of errors are produced in the console, showing that it's a code-signing issue, caused by dictionaries being installed within the Hunspell plugin bundle.

    Can I suggest that there should be another place to install additional languages, outside the InDesign application.

    The only way I can work with Latin and Ancient Greek languages currently is to use an El Capitan Mac, which does not have the sandboxing.

    AMFI: Check-fix enabled for binary '/Applications/Adobe InDesign CC 2018/Resources/Dictionaries/LILO/Linguistics/Providers/Plugins2/AdobeHunspellPlugin.bundl e/Contents/MacOS/AdobeHunspellPlugin' with TeamID 'JQ525L2MZD', identifier 'com.adobe.adobehunspellplugin2': broken signature treated as unsigned without privileges. This workaround will not work for software built on or after 10.12.

13. Typekit keeps breaking sync and deleting downloaded fonts

    Typekit keeps breaking sync and deleting downloaded fonts.

    When I open Indesign, the fonts I previously downloaded are nonexistant which makes working with my document impossible! This happens at least once a week and persists after multiple uninstalls, system restarts and re-installs. Sometimes, it does not sync (or only some fonts sync) even after logging in again.

    On a side note, Adobe CC downloader constantly logs me out.

    With all the--excessive--background processes adobe now forces us to run you would think there shouldn't be an issue. I am more than happy to provide feedback and system information to fix this issue.

14. Locked objects get selected

    Not sure why adobe changed the lock of an item. It used to work perfect to lock my background objects. Now, it I have background objects; they still get selected even if they are locked; it's such a huge inconvenience and waste of time to sort selected objects. Please fix or put back the lock object.

15. [ID-4259937][Document Specific] InDesign and InDesign Server go into infinite recompose

    The attached IDML file is a minimized test case for an infinite recompose loop. To start the loop, open the document in an InDesign client and select the gray text frame and turn off its text wrap property. To stop the loop, select Undo or close the document.

    The test case is taken from a real-world IDS incident where this loop monopolized the IDS process for several minutes until our watchdog killed it.

    (Reproduced with Adobe Indesign CC 2025 v20.1.0.71 running on MacBook Pro M3 / macOS 15.2.)

16. InDesign 2020 15.0.1 CEP panel size bug on Windows HiDPI with scaling > 100%

    On some Windows workstations, my InDesign CEP panel has the wrong size (way too large). This looks like a re-surfacing of the old bug mentioned here:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/get-started/cep-panel-wrong-size-in-cc2018/td-p/9660228?page=1

    • Version:

    InDesign version 15.0.1

    • Steps to reproduce:

    Install this dummy sample 'Hello World' panel into InDesign 15.0.1 on Windows 10 on a workstation with a HiDPI display. Make sure the Windows Display Scaling it set to 100%

    https://rorohiko.com/downloads/ID2020PanelSizeBug/ID2020PanelSizeBug.1.0.0.zxp

    Run InDesign, open the panel -> should be OK.

    Quit InDesign, change the Windows display scaling to 200%

    Run InDesign, open the panel -> panel is extraordinary large. See screenshots on

    https://coppieters.nz/?p=333

    • Expected result:

    Panel should retain the correct size, independent of the Windows display scaling.

    • Actual result:

    Panel becomes very large and unusable on Windows 10 with HiDPI display and scaling > 100%

    • Test file etc...

    I've written up a short post with sample code, sample ZXP and screenshots on my blog:

18. Not working window tiling introduced in macOS 15

    MacOS 15 Sequoia introduced window tiling, which lets you arrange windows on the screen in tiles.

    This automatically works for any window of any app on my Mac. It also works for Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator windows, as long as «Application Frame» is activated in the window menu.

    But window tiling does not work with windows of Adobe InDesign v20. Even with active «Window Frame».

19. [ID-4216889]Objects on the page jump if a left-hand page becomes a right-hand page and vice versa

    Hi developers,
    this is a longstanding bug:

    With facing pages documents on EVERY document page there is a zone where jumping of objects will happen.

    I call this the jump zone. All objects on a page that will jump are clearly inside the page's area. The bug has nothing to do with rounding errors where object edges are at the edge of a page.

    The objects should not move if pages are added or removed, if numbering of pages is changing. Nevertheless they do. Always. Unless, the zone has a width of zero.

    Below all the details.

    What is a jump zone?
    If horizontal values for left and right margins differ, there is a BUG that in effect forms a zone on the page.
    I call this zone JUMP ZONE because objects that touch the zone with their edges could jump horizontally.

    When will objects jump?
    1. When a left-hand page becomes a right-hand page OR a right-hand page becomes a left-hand page.

    1. When a left-hand page becomes a right-hand page and later when a right-hand page becomes a left-hand page again.

    This could happen within a single InDesign document open.

    WARNING:
    It could even happen to InDesign documents that are not visibly open.
    That's with InDesign documents that are part of a InDesign book file.
    The book file's feature with auto-numbering pages can do this even if no document is visibly open.
    The damage is done if auto-numbering took place AND the book file is saved.

    How large is the jump zone?
    The height of the zone is the height of the page.
    The width of the zone can be calculated:
    inner margin MINUS outer margin

    How large is the jump?
    The width of the jump zone.

    Where is the jump zone positioned?
    Positive value: The zone is at the spine of the page.
    Objects that touch the zone jump towards the spine.

    Negative value: The zone is at the edge of a page away from the spine.
    Objects that touch the zone jump away from spine.

    What versions of InDesign are affected?
    All versions CC up to InDesign 2020, Mac OS X and Windows.
    InDesign CS6, Mac OS X and Windows.

    Possibly also InDesign CS5 and CS5.5, Mac OS X and Windows.
    I did not test this.

    How can I avoid jump zones?
    Make right and left margin values the same!

    Are there workarounds if I cannot avoid jump zones?

    1. Anchor objects
       that touch the jump zone to text frames that do not touch the jump zone.
       Nested objects will not jump if the parent objects are not touching the jump zone.

    2. Group an object
       to another one that is touching the top or the bottom edge of the page.
       Tests are showing that objects will not jump if they touch the bottom OR the top of the page.
       ( OR both, bottom and top edges of the page .)

    Other things to consider about moving objects?
    The following is independently of jump zones:
    Objects could move to other pages if their edges touch exactly the horizontal edges on pages in facing pages.
    Depending on the version of InDesign this could also happen with objects touching the spine.
    Reason: Rounding errors.

    What can provoke all this?
    1. Add or remove an odd number of pages
    so that left-hand pages become right-hand pages and vice versa.

    1. Renumber start pages of sections so that left-hand pages become right-hand pages and vice versa.

    Note:
    Every document has at least one section by default.
    The start of that section is the first page in the document.

    PS: Why does InDesign Uservoice not permit to attach files with suffix .indd ?
    Message: "Invalid file type: .indd files not allowed."
    Isn't that rather absurd?

20. InDesign Fonts folder no longer respects symlinks (2019, Mac)

    The Fonts folder in the InDesign 2019 application folder no longer follows symlinks, as previous versions did.

    I prefer to keep my InDesign fonts separate from my system fonts, and in previous versions placed a symlink to my font folder in the InDesign application folder, titled "Fonts." InDesign would follow that link, and I would have access to all of my fonts within InDesign, without needing to install them user- or system-wide.

    In InDesign 2019, no symlinks are followed - not on the top level, and not inside the folder either. (Tested by symlinking one font or one folder inside a new Fonts folder.)

    One description of the method: https://glyphsapp.com/tutorials/testing-your-fonts-in-adobe-apps
    Thread where others comment on this: https://forum.glyphsapp.com/t/adobe-fonts-folder-for-indesign-cc-2019/9971
