Alttext missing when image is covering spine
When you have a spread with an image that is partially covering both pages, the image gets split into two images when making the PDF. Even when adding alttext to the image, this alttext gets Applied only to the first/left half of the image. The part on the right page has no alttext and is not an artefact. This way you will allways end up with a rejected PDF in terms of Accessibility.

Publish online: Video sound overlaps on multiple pages
I regularly need to upload presentations using Publish Online in Indesign. When you start viewing pages, video sound overlaps and plays despite that page not being selected. I have found that once the pages have finished "loading" in the browser, and you start the presentation again, this no longer happens. However, this doesn't help if you have a client wanting to view the link for the first time, and the sound is overlapping.
I have tried different browsers, and the problem is the same in each one.
The only solve is to not have videos play sound, but this is…1 vote -

Fenster nach Ruhezustand verschoben und kleiner
Hallo,
ich arbeite seit 2 Monaten mit Mac Studio und 2x Displaystudio 27 Zoll.
Ich habe das rechte Display-Hauptfenster (1. ) festgelegt. Ich arbeite wie immer Adobe Programme Indesign Photoshop Co., deren Benutzeroberfläche bzw. Fenstern immer offen sind auch z. B. Internet Browser Safari auf linke Fenster platziert. Gesamtes System aktiviert nach 10 Minuten in Ruhezustand bzw. Bildschirmschoner, wenn ich mit dem Mac Studio nichts mache bzw. nicht arbeite.
wenn die Display Studios /Mac Studio aus dem Ruhezustand aufgeweckt wird, sind die Fenster verschoben.
Die Adobe Indesign, Illustrator oder Photoshop-Fenster z.B. das normalerweise am linken Bildschirm die volle Höhe einnimmt…

I can't see anything except drop down menu items when I create a new document
That's just it. I create a new document. Put in the pages, margins, units etc.. then.. nothing. Nothing comes up. I can still see the menu items and am able to save the file - but I can't see it or work in it.
I tried pressing spacebar. nah
I tried opening from file.. nah
I tried different views and different previews. Nothing.
Illustrator works just fine.
Also, what's the difference between open normal and open original?
I can't believe I had to waste 30 minutes on this.1 vote -

Character style with one attribute "medium" not displaying properly in properties of the style
InDesign 17.4
Step 1: choose character style "none"
Step 2: create new character style
Step 3: open new character syle and change "Basic Character Formats → Font Style:" to "Medium"
Step 4: navigate to the "General" tab: the "Style Settings" area shows "[None]" but should display "[None] + Medium"1 vote -
InDesign steals focus in Windows 10 - again (2022)
If you switch to another application, while InDesign is launching, InDesign will steal the focus back, even repeatedly if you are quick enough to switch to the other application more than once, and/or have a slow computer (e.g. battery saver mode while opening a large document may exaggerate the problem).
I'm fairly certain that this irritating behaviour was gone from late 2017, since the earlier bug report (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/31913773-indesign-steals-focus-in-windows-10) was closed after lack of activity (3 years old) in 2021, and the old thread on the forum https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/how-to-prevent-adobe-software-stealing-focus-in-windows-10-locked/td-p/7773884/page/5 was active until late 2017.

InDesign doesn't import files
Hi !
So my issue is that InDesign doesn't allow me to import files, whether they are .jpg, .png or .eps, or else. I need to use a logo that I have in .png, but InDesign doesn't allow me to select my file to import.1 vote -
Alignment of text box ignores anchored objects
When I have an anchored object (lets say an image) hanging at the bottom of the text box, aligning the text to the bottom of the text box will align the text only, and cuts off the image at the bottom.
I imagine this also happens to images at the top of the text box, when aligning to the top.
I think that by design, anchired objects should be calculated as part of the text box's content, and should be aligned to the bottom, as text would.
If not, it should at least be an option to choose from.Thank…

epub and mp3
To adobe,
I am an InDesign user, to create the e-book for the publish.Today, I face a serious problem and hope to find out a solution.
It is the problem, I insert mp3, each page around 4, the similar page around 30-40 page.
The mp3 maybe not the same on each page, it’s may different, test in the InDesign app, and all is fine.
If exported to PDF, also it is fine and could sound normally.
However, if exported to EPUB, the first 16 of the mp3 file, also means the first 4 pages can work, the rest of…

New Document dialogue allowing impossible column gutter
When creating a new document in the New Document dialogue, InDesign (17.4) is allowing a impossible column gutters (Page Size: 8.5"x11", Columns: 1, Column Gutter: 12"). The Margins and Columns dialogue will prevent this from happening, the New Document dialogue will not. This causes issues when attempting to change files later using the Document Setup dialogue, even after the Column Gutter is adjusted in the Margins and Columns dialogue.

buggy footnote placement
Footnotes are randomly placed in the middle of the text stream, rather than the bottom of the page. I've seen it happen a couple times, but I don't know why it happens. Other footnotes are placed in the correct position.
In Document Footnote Options, Place end of Story Footnotes at Bottom of Text is UNchecked. However, I get the same result if it IS checked.
The worst part is that there is NO way to correct this!
I tried to upload the INDD files, and a PNG screen shot, but in both cases, it produced an error, "Files are not…

CC Library Issues
2 CC Libraries bugs since the new update:
- "Search current library" not working, you aren't able to type anything in
- When opening the CC libraries window, if you have multiple monitors the window will appear blank, but the thumbnails of all your items in the library will be on the other monitor. Adobe Illustrator does the same. The only fix I've found so far is snapping the window to the other monitor.1 vote -
