1. Indesign cuts off effects on PDF Export

   InDesign cuts off effects on PDF Exports if they get too large. (Also to mention... menues look different fot Font or Object Effects... someone realigned one of them and forgot the others.)

   Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server: CC 2017.1 with Tablefix
   Steps to reproduce the issues: Create a new Document that's wide enough e.g. 5000mm (happend to us on a big Banner) – Write Text - Use Effect "Bevel" - Export to PDF and watch it fail.
   Expected result: A Text with the applied effect
   Actual result: The Effect gets cut off (we almost printed a job like this...)
   Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional): see Attachments

2. Data Merge panel doesn't import UTF-8 data when selecting "UTF-8" encoding option

   I’m using Adobe InDesign v. 20.5.0.48 on the macOS v. 15.6.1. I have a “merge.csv” data file encoded in UTF-8 that imports into the Data Merge panel when I select “ASCII” as the encoding but, unsurprisingly, doesn’t display some special characters correctly. When I select “UTF-8” as the encoding option, which should remedy this problem, the file fails to import!

3. New image replacement functionality

   InDesign question. I work with placeholder images quite often in low resolution (LR). I then need to replace them with the high resolution (HR) versions once approved. This was always a simple task of replacing the LR image with the new HR image via the links panel. The new image would replace the old exactly, no resizing required. Since the latest update this is not the case. The new image comes in at completely the wrong size and I have to go through the document to rework EVERY image. As you can imagine this is very frustrating. Why has this change happened. It is not useful.

   On querying this with the chatbot I was given this work around but it's not useable when faced with bulk image replacement. This is something that was so streamlined and useful and is now a complete time sump. Very frustrated.

   This change is related to how InDesign handles image frames and content scaling. When you replace an image, InDesign now respects the actual dimensions and resolution of the new image rather than automatically fitting it to the previous image's frame. This means the new HR image may have different pixel dimensions or aspect ratio, so it doesn't automatically scale to the old image's size.

   To manage this and maintain consistent sizing when replacing images:

   Use the Links panel to replace the image by selecting the low resolution image and clicking Relink.

   After relinking, if the new image size is incorrect, select the image frame.

   Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac) while dragging a corner handle to scale both the frame and content proportionally.

   Alternatively, use the Auto-Fit option on the frame to ensure the content scales with the frame.

   For precise control, use the Transform panel to enter exact scale percentages or dimensions.

   This behavior ensures that the image quality and resolution are preserved and that you have control over how the new image fits within your layout. To avoid unexpected resizing, always check the frame fitting options and scaling settings after replacing images.

   Can we at least have a choice on import to honour original scaling please?

4. Search option is not working on EPUB fixed Layout

   I have found a problematic bug for .epub files exported from InDesign and opened in Adobe Digital Editions. The fixed layout epub file is not searchable.

   To note, an epub file exported from InDesign and marked as re-flowable does work.

   This is a SIGNIFICANT issue for me and here's why. I have a 700 page interactive book (includes embedded hyperlinks, videos, audio files) that needs to be distributed and opened by the general population and searchable.

   1) The design of the book is formatted per page and needs to remain as laid out in InDesign. This means we can NOT use the re-flowable option.

   2) For years, we've exported as INTERACTIVE PDF. This allowed users to open with the FREE Adobe Reader and enjoy all the embedded media and search. However, as an exported pdf format, Adobe Acrobat uses flash to play video and audio rather than a different means and as I'm told, due to the removal of flash, Adobe Reader will no longer allow for interactive pdfs to have audio and video controls. So that makes a PDF format not usable for this project. (infuriating!)

   3) Next Option: Publish to Online. However, this option does not allow for search and does not include password protection. Again, making this exported format not usable for my client.

   4) Next option: .Epub. On my mac, the same mac that creates the Indesign file, within Adobe Editions, the epub file works as expected. However, it does not work on any PC that we've tested. The fixed-format has an error and is not searchable and on some computers, the epub file will NOT even open in Adobe Digital Editions. Again, making this exported .epub file format unusable.

   IMPORTANT: Where does this leave me? What format can I use and distribute from InDesign?

   This seems LIKE A HUGE ISSUE for ADOBE and is very detrimental to my professional work.

   I've been told that Adobe Digital Editions is an end-of-life product and no longer has support. What application is InDesign exporting epub files to work in then? What other viewing options does my client have?

   Please help!

5. 15.0.2 Margins & Columns Issue on Body Page 1 (Windows only)

   Version: 15.0.2

   Steps to reproduce the issues:
   I was teaching 3 students on 15.0.2 (all on Windows) how to create a new document. We set up a 12-page file and specified 3 columns and changed the top margin in the New Document dialog box. With the preview checkbox on, body page 1 did not reflect the changes. We could see the bleed and slug lines appearing when defined. We could also see the A in the corner of the the body page 1 icon in the Pages panel, indicating that A-Master was assigned.

   Expected result
   When you define a new document with Preview enabled, you should be able to see the margins and columns as defined on the first page, behind the dialog box before (and after) you click on OK.

   Actual result:
   After clicking on OK, we discovered that the margins and columns were defined and visible on the A-Master and body pages 2-12. We had to manually re-apply the A-Master to Body page 1. This happened to all three students.

   It is working as expected on my Mac 10.15.3.

7. print dialog offset greyed out

   The offset, gap and transverse options in the Setup section of the Print Dialog are not greyed out and so available. I tried various document presents, print presets and printers - and no matter what settings are selected these features remain greyed out. I cannot find in help pages or anywhere online how to activate this feature. Please help or fix.

8. Incopy hyperlink Ok Button Grayed Out

   When trying to add a hyperlink to a page in InCopy, the Ok button is grayed out. All the other Link To Options appear to work fine, it is only the Page option that is graying out the Ok button.
   InDesign is allowing me to link it with no problem.
   I'm using InCopy & InDesign 2024, but also opened an old document that was done in the 2023 versions and noticed the same issue.

9. Layer comps not working with Indesign on PC

   A 32 grouped layered file originally drawn in Clip studio paint, added layer comps in Photoshop does either:
   - upon placement place correctly but does not allow the changing of object layer options. OLO has a empty grey preview and does NOT change the image after pressing ok.
   - upon "update links" crashed indesign or gives the error "cannot place this image, unsupported color space" (same image as above which DID place)

   I have tried to:
   - move the layers to a new file, same effect
   - opened other files similarly made which work
   - tried this on a MAC which worked
   - had a friend try this on her PC, which didn't work till she changed her color space settings to what I have. Her saved file from that photoshop did not work and gave the same results

   File is 1.2gb, 32 grouped layers, 32 layer comps, CMYK, default color spaces as far as I can tell

10. First baseline offset not being applied

    More than half the time that I try to change the First Baseline Offset in the Text Frame Options panel, the default setting (Ascent) will not change. When I select a different option from the drop-down menu, such as Leading, Ascent stays selected (before I'm even given the chance to click "OK" or "Cancel"). The only solution I've found to this problem is quitting InDesign and reopening it again and again.

11. 72 DPI images not placing at 100%, scaling to 216 DPI

    This has apparently been a discussion since at least 2019 and has not yet found a solution:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/jpg-not-placing-at-proper-dimensions/m-p/12933878/page/3#M476611

    When placing certain jpg images saved to 72 DPI, In Design frequently places them at 1/3 actual size, or down to 216 DPI. This is including if the ID document's increments/document size are set to pixels. It seems most common with jpgs saved in a standard "Save As" format from Photoshop vs. the legacy "Save for Web."

    1. Versions 14.02 to 17.1 - Edit - issue continues after update to 17.2.1.
    2. Steps to reproduce: place a jpg image saved to 72 dpi resolution
    3. Expected result - image is placed at 100% scale like other images
    4. Actual result - image is placed at 33.33% scale
    5. See images attached. These are identically sized - the one that was saved using the outdated legacy Save for Web option on Photoshop came in at 100% scale or 72 DPI. The image saved in a more standard Save As format from Photoshop comes in at 33.33% scale or 216 DPI. Export option from Photoshop yields the same result. Have also noticed this scaling issue with images provided to me from non-Photoshop sources.

    Occasionally it loads it in at 50% scale instead of 33.33%, too.

    This has apparently been a discussion since at least 2019 and has not yet found a solution:

12. Adjust Layout Moves Locked Guides when "Adjust Locked Content" Option is Disabled

    Locked guides that overlap the page margins move when using Adjust Layout while "Adjust Locked Content" is unchecked.

    Expected behavior: Locked guides shouldn't move when using Adjust Layout unless "Adjust Locked Content" is checked. Unlocked guides should move regardless of the option being checked.

    Steps to reproduce:
    Add ruler guides to a page that overlap the page margins
    Lock guides "View > Grids & Guides > Lock Guides"
    Open "Layout > Margins & Columns"
    Enable "Adjust Layout" and uncheck "Adjust Locked Content"
    Increase or decrease the size of a margin that overlaps the guide

    I haven't found any workaround for this bug and it's a major hinderance when adjusting the layout of many pages simultaneously as I have to manually re-adjust the guides on each page.

13. Faulty save facility when updating cross references across a book

    When using the update cross-references on the Book panel of CC2020, it opens each chapter, it then updates the references, but then asks you to save and overwrite the chapter that it has updated. Maybe this is suitable for some, but I find it is frustrating when you have to agree to the file's same name and then agree to overwrite when you have over 20 chapters to go through every single time I update cross-references.

    CC2019 used to open, update and save the chapters without questioning you. Maybe this is an option I have missed under Preferences.

    Kind regards

14. Menu et fonctions invisibles

    Lorsque je clique sur les fonctions d'InDesign dans le menu, les panneaux sont invisibles. Je ne les vois pas mais quand je clique plus bas, ça clique sur les options du panneaux.
    Même problème pour le click droit, rien ne s'affiche mais quand je descend et clique là où devrait apparaitre le menu, ça clique sur les fonctions.

    C'est très handicapant, je ne peux pas travailler.

15. Embedded PDF/AI images causes documents created from IDMLs to double in size

    File size almost doubles when exporting an INDD document to IDML and then re-save it as an INDD if it has embedded PDF or AI images.

    Create a new InDesign document.
    Place a PDF/AI image in it.
    Embed the image in the InDesign file.
    Save the InDesign file.
    Export the InDesign file to IDML.
    Open the IDML and save it as an INDD document.

    The resulting INDD document will have a file size of almost double the size of the original INDD document. This affects all versions of InDesign (CS6-CC2019) and embedded PDFs created in different applications (Illustrator, Acrobat, Preview).

    If this is caused by an extra preview of the image being attached to the INDD document, there should at least be an option to "trim" the INDD document.

    Attached are three test documents: original, IDML and the resulting INDD document.

    File size almost doubles when exporting an INDD document to IDML and then re-save it as an INDD if it has embedded PDF or AI images.

    Create a new InDesign document.
    Place a PDF/AI image in it.
    Embed the image in the InDesign file.
    Save the InDesign file.
    Export the InDesign file to IDML.
    Open the IDML and save it as an INDD document.

    The resulting INDD document will have a file size of almost double the size of the original INDD document. This affects all versions of InDesign (CS6-CC2019) and embedded PDFs created in different applications (Illustrator, Acrobat, Preview).

17. version 19.2 x64. The version update lost my language setting (English-Hebrew).

    The English-Hebrew setting was lost during the last few updates, which removed the ability to create bullets with a hanging indent. A minus value in the first line indent always led to an error. It was solved by uninstalling and re-installing, which then gave me the text direction options again. So a workaround is possible, but it must be done every time I update.

18. Data Merge – PDF-Image Error

    Hi there
    We have the alarming situation, that we did some data merge with a bill in it which is set up as a image (PDF). We did a PDF for the costumer to check the personalization.
    Afterwards we did made the PDF for printing.
    Thats were the problem started, because the PDF of the bill was getting importet wrong. in the firstplace we imported the PDF with the Mediabox but since we edited some other files and placed some other PDF with trimbox the setting was saved in the indd presets and on the data merge we got the situation that on exporting the PDF the MediaBox was changed to the Cropbox, and so the pdf was getting enlarged to cover the same space as the PDF did. so some information got cropped by the Printing size.

    it can’t be that the importing option of a already placed PDF is changed. this is really dangerous!

    Tested on INDD V18.5 and V19.0

19. "Go back on roll over" interactive button state checked/greyed out

    I was working on an interactive project and found that the "go back on roll over" option becomes turned on and greyed out so you cannot un-check the box when adding an "upon release" action to a button. I initially could NOT figure out why this was happening, and it was totally screwing up my on-click actions in my project.

    Eventually, I think I figured out that it seems to happen when you create a button, add an "on roll over" action and check the box "go back on roll off", then create ANOTHER action (like "on click"), and then DELETE the original "on roll over" action. If you go and look at your "on click" or "on release" action you created, the "go back on roll off" box is showing and is checked and is greyed out so you cannot edit that option.

    "Go back on roll over" seems like something that should be SOLELY associated with roll over actions, and should be disabled as soon as you delete/remove ANY roll over actions you have created.

    I finally figured out how to fix it, which involved adding an additional roll over action to the button as well, deleting my original "on release" action, deleting the roll over action, and then RE-adding the "on release" action again.

    It took me about 30 minutes to hack this, but it's obviously a problem.

    You should really consider working on your interactivity problems, as more and more people are using InDesign for digital publishing, especially those who are working on print projects that also need to be converted into digital formats.

20. Unable to type the í character

    When typing, inDesign doesn't receive the í character. On the Hungarian keyboard the í can be entered as AltGr+J. When typing the text, and pressing AltGr+J, sometimes the í doesn't appears, but the Paragraph options dialog pops up. Pressing one more time the AltGr+J types the í. This is a problem in the newer versions, in the CS6 version this wasn't a problem.
