InDesign 2025 can't read metadata from multiple images

Problem: Metadata inside an image not being recognized by InDesign 2025.

Endnote Font Size Problems
Version: InDesign 14
Steps: When placing an endnote in a frame "Loaded by Place Curser", the font size used for the end note does not honor the font size determined by the style. This includes when the paragraph style is set in the endnote options, as well as when the paragraph style is applied by selecting the endnote text.
- Create endnote style, and set it in endnote options
- Set endnote text frame to "loaded by place curser" in endnote options
- Add an endnote to the text, and place endnote text frame
- The Endnote text added to this frame does…
1 voteThanks for reporting the issue.
How are you adding the Endnote text to the frame? Are you copying text and pasting it? If so, have you tried using ‘Paste without formatting’?
Please provide the information that is sought by Payal.Ravi Kiran

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…

Not all fonts are collected in a package.
This is for InDesign 14.0.2 x64
To reproduce the issue, package any file and be sure the include fonts option is ON.
Expected result is, as it ever was, that all fonts used in the document will be included in the "Fonts" folder of the resulting packaged file.
Actual result is that some or all of the fonts are omitted.

GenAI Image location
GenAI Images are automatically saved to the User's iCloud Documents folder. This causes a major issue if projects are shared with other users in that the GenAI Images may not get copied across, resulting in broken links.
Another issue this creates is that if the User's iCloud storage is full, new images will not be created.
There needs to be an option, either in the Preferences or the Links panel, for users to select where GenAI Images are stored.
Please implement this.4 votes -
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…

Literal ampersand (&) doesn't show in font's OpenType stylistic set menu
Adobe InDesign version: 20.1
Expected Results:
1. Use a font in InDesign that contains an OpenType stylistic set option with a name containing an ampersand (&).
2. Look for that stylistic set in Character > OpenType > Stylistic Sets.
3. The ampersand should be visible in the name of the stylistic set.Actual Results:
The ampersand does not appear in the stylistic set name.4 votes -
[Copyright-Notice] Automatic Caption for images
When creation an automatic caption for images it is possible to chose the option "Copyright" but this actually referts to the IPTC - Core "Source" (Quelle) and not the "Copyright - Notice" which is used by Adobe Stock.
So it is not possible to automaticly use the Adobe Stock Copyright notice because InDesign seems to read the wrong MetaData field.

inDesign screen flashing on M2 Mac mini
InDesign screen flashing on M2 Mac mini.
The screen flashed when selecting text, moving objects, using marque select.
Turning off rulers helps a lot. I've read that turning on/off GPU performance will solve this issue. The option is grayed out within inDesign but is available on Illustrator and Photoshop.inDesign version: 19.0.1

book sync object-format does not work as it should
InDesign CC 2018 (13.1)
MacOSX 10.12.6Hello
We often use the InDesign book functionality for very large and complex documents. In these documents we use also a nested/grouped object for images containing a frame for image caption and a frame for the image. Where the caption frame does not have a contour, the frame for the image has a contour. For every frame we have created an appropriate named object format. As long we use this nested/grouped objects in a single document, the appropriate object formats work as espected. When we use a clone of this "master" document for further…

15.0.2 Margins & Columns Issue on Body Page 1 (Windows only)
Version: 15.0.2
Steps to reproduce the issues:

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.

Hide Frame Edges
I'm working on Windows 11. I'm not sure what the InDesign version is but I just bought it two days ago.
Everything has been smooth so far but when I needed to hide the Frame Edges I met this issue. From what I found out there are two options: View > Extras > Hide Frame Edges or simply Ctrl + H
Neither case worked.

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.1 vote
