1. Better Text Box Controls

   Could the in port and out port boxes be shifted slightly away from the bounding box corners? They’re currently positioned very close to the resize handles, which makes it harder to resize text frames — a much more frequent action than linking text.

   While you're at it, please expand the interactive area around bounding box handles so the cursor stays in Scale mode slightly farther from the corners, reducing accidental switches to the Rotate tool when resizing objects.

2. 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

3. Easier automatic page numbering

   Make it easier to create automatic page numbering in InDesign. I would not have remembered to select the text frame, then navigate to TYPE > INSERT SPECIAL CHARACTERS > MARKERS > CURRENT PAGE NUMBER if it weren't for Google. This feature should not be an obscure tool, and should not be buried in panels. I feel like this feature should at least be in the Master Page Panel's drop down options (from the hamburger).

4. 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.

5. Glitching and Lagging

   Mac OS Sonoma 14.2.1 (as well as previous release)
   InDesign 19.01 (as well as previous releases)
   Apple M1 Max

   InDesign (and Illustrator) have become infuriating to use. All graphics and text are constantly glitching when scrolling or zooming. When selecting an element for some reason there is a lag where it things that I am clicking and dragging the element cause it to move. Sometimes it moves a pixel or get thrown across the page.

   I have tried the following
   In Preferences,
   Disabled Animated Zoom to no effect.
   Disabled GPU Performance to no effect.
   Changed Both Display Performance options to Fast, to no effect.
   I have reinstalled InDesign, to no effect.
   I have uninstalled all of Creative Cloud (including apps) ran the clean up application and then reinstalled, to no effect.
   I completely wiped and reinstalled a fresh copy of Mac OS, Installed Creative Cloud and InDesign only and still had the issue.

   Ive had this issue for at least a month but the bug reporting process is so dogshit I figured someone else would report it. I guess not.

6. packaged files not preserving paths

   In latest release of Adobe InDesign 16.2.1 for Mac 10.14.6, an issue occurred when updating a file PACKAGED from an earlier version of InDesign.

   Issue was:
   Document contained tifs and jpgs that contained work paths. In original document, work paths had been used to clip the images.
   However, when document was PACKAGED and then opened in ID16.2.1, the paths have not been preserved. They are still in the photoshop file and can be updated by replacing or relinking the image and showing image options to apply the path information, but this is potentially a catastrophic issue for providers like ourselves who have never seen the artwork before and have no point of comparision between clients expectations vs how the file opened on our machines.

   Worth noting that files were packaged with IDML files that did not feature this bug.

   Another issue complicating matters was that the packaged file that we received (not necessarily packaged like this) had an .idlk file supplied as well, so may be original operator error.

7. Missing glyphs in a Right-to-Left Paragraph direction

   1. InDesign Middle Eastern Version 18.4.0.56

   2. Steps to reproduce the issues:
      a. In Preferences>Composition>Highlight, turn on Highlight for missing glyphs.
      b. Type in a text box open and closing parenthesis.
      c. Toggle between Right-to-Left and Left-to-Right Paragraph direction.

   3. Expected result: Missing glyphs should not be affected by paragraph direction.

   4. Actual result: When the direction becomes Right-to-Left the parenthesis are highlights as missing glyphs.

   Additional Information:
   If you type one Hebrew letter before and after the parenthesis, the parenthesis will be highlighted with missing glyphs also on Left to Right Paragraph direction.

   I tried with various fonts, all behave the same. Today was the first time I noticed it. It happened with a document that I edit all the time (and also a new one I created to test it) when I selected a different paragraph style. I then got a message that there are missing glyphs. I turned on the highlight option and suddenly I notices that all my parenthesis are highlighted in yellow for missing glyphs. I believe it is a bug of the latest version.

8. 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.

10. 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:

11. Paint and lines disappear

    Indesign 2023, Mac OS 12 Monterey (other similar reports in Catalina and win10)

    Phenomenon
    Fill and line disappears when copying an object.

    Reproduction procedure
    1. Select an object with fill and line to surround it with the direct selection tool.
    2. Grab the anchor point and copy by option+drag.
    3. The object without fill or line is copied.

    The same result can be obtained by selecting an object to enclose with the direct selection tool, and then copying with the Object menu > Transform > Move.
    If you select an object by clicking directly on the fill area without surrounding it with the direct selection tool, the fill and lines are copied as they were (expected result).

    I would like the original object to be copied as is, just like in Illustrator.

    The circle that appears around the cursor is due to a utility and is displayed when clicking.
    The fact that nothing is displayed in the middle of a drag copy is probably a problem with the screen recording function.

    English text translated by DeepL

    Indesign 2023、 Mac OS 12 Monterey（他にCatalinaやwin10でも同様の報告あり）

    現象
    オブジェクトをコピーした際に、塗りと線が消える。

    再現手順
    1.塗りや線のあるオブジェクトをダイレクト選択ツールで囲むように選択。
    2.アンカーポイントを掴んで、option+ドラッグでコピー。
    3.塗りも線もないオブジェクトがコピーされる。

    ダイレクト選択ツールで囲むように選択し、オブジェクトメニュー>変形>移動　のコピーでも同様の結果になる。
    ダイレクト選択ツールで囲まずに、直接塗り部分をクリックして選択した場合は塗りも線も元のままコピーされる（期待した動作結果）

    Illustratorと同様に、元オブジェクトがそのままコピーされるようにして欲しいです。

    カーソルの周りに出る円は、ユーティリティによるものでクリックした際に表示されるものです。
    ドラッグコピーの途中で何も表示されていないのは、画面収録機能の不具合だと思われます。

12. 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.

13. 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).

14. portrait mode - Whether at 125% or 100% the Indesign Interface scaling option under Preferences does not work.

    BUG DETAILS- On a Monitor that is setup in a Portrait configuration, whether at 125% or 100% display scale in Windows Settings, the Indesign Interface scaling option under Preferences does not work.

    Adobe is a publishing software, especially InDesign. Book Publishers and their graphic design team need to have the option of working in a monitor setup in a Portrait configuration for the purpose of full vertical page (height) dimensions. I cannot get Indesign to Scale the Interface at all under Preferences when monitors are set in Portrait configuration. This is a bug because the InDesign interface does scale (as intended, under Preferences) when monitors are in landscape configuration.

    The result is that the menu items and tool icons are so small they are virtually unreadable.

    Walked through this with a tech on Adobe phone Support to confirm all this - that portrait Interface scaling is not possible on my end or the tech's end. We walked through all the troubleshooting steps, including setting the Windows Display Scale settings to 100% and trying to adjust Display Resolution.

    It remains unresolved. Those of us with glasses and eye strain, thank you in advance

15. 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

16. Object style size property crashes InDesign when used with Libraries

    I have recreated this bug on both Mac and PC InDesign 13.0

    1. Create a text box
    2. Insert a table with any number of table cells
    3. Draw a rectangle anywhere
    4. Create a new Object Style and set Size and Position Options -> Size -> Adjust: to Height Only
    5. Apply the Object Style to the rectangle
    6. Cut and past the rectangle into one of the cells of the table
    7. Create a new Library file
    8. Drag the text box into the Library
    9. Try drag the Library item back out onto the page... It should crash.

    This has become very problematic for us because we use the Libraries a lot for commonly used table designs. We are having to avoid the new Size Options in Object Styles. It seemed like a good feature that we had been waiting for... But not working for us yet.

    I have attached a Library file with an item that will crash InDesign 13

    I have recreated this bug on both Mac and PC InDesign 13.0

    1. Create a text box
    2. Insert a table with any number of table cells
    3. Draw a rectangle anywhere
    4. Create a new Object Style and set Size and Position Options -> Size -> Adjust: to Height Only
    5. Apply the Object Style to the rectangle
    6. Cut and past the rectangle into one of the cells of the table
    7. Create a new Library file
    8. Drag the text box into the Library
    9. Try drag the Library item back out onto the page... It should crash.

17. "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.

18. Choosing a link's page or layer right in the links panel

    I would love to be able to change the page of my links without having to replace the file and select the page through import options. I use a lot of nested indesign files where I'm duping up business cards with multiple sides. It gets timely when I have 4 sides and I have to replace them all 8 times. Keep it in mind guys! You're doing an awesome job! I <3 adobe people!

19. 23.0.3 Adobe PDF Preset / Transparency Flattener Preset "Convert Text To Outlines" Not Working

    In all previous versions of Illustrator and InDesign, when saving a PDF, I have been able to set my PDF settings to convert all text to outlines by checking "Convert All Text To Outlines" in my Adobe PDF preset. Since my recent update to 23.0.3, this feature is no longer working properly. The setting is still an option, however, upon save/export of the PDF, text is not converted to outlines as it previously was.

    I have reached out to customer support for this issue and have been informed that this issue is "expected behavior of the software".

    How is this issue considered “expected behavior” when:

    1) Setting Adobe PDF presets and Transparency Flattener presets to "convert text to outlines" is a feature of the software
    2) It has worked flawlessly in ALL previous versions of Illustrator and InDesign

    This is a pretty common practice that designers use when creating print documents. Most printers require all text to be outlines when receiving project files. It is very time consuming to manually change all text to outlines when you're working with a 100+ page project file. This feature, which I and countless others use on a daily basis, prevents the error of accidentally saving over a working file as well as saving time when preparing documents for print.

    If this feature (which is still showing as a feature in the current version) has been removed, I deeply implore you to bring this feature back.

20. Un-asked for CC Adobe applications running in stealth mode continually bring my Mac to a complete stop for seconds at a time.

    Please stop loading my 2009 MacPro / Yosemite / 20GB RAM with stealth Adobe apps that make my computer impossible to use.

    I do not need TypeKit, I do not need any of this stuff you force me to have running in the background when I have CC InDesign running. Your apps are killing my productivity, not "enhancing" it.

    I am a book designer, I don't use much of your fancy stuff. The only way I can get any work done is to open my clients' files in CC, save the IDML, then quit the CC version and go back to using my perfectly useable CS6 InDesign.

    I see no reason to attach a file. I've been using Adobe applications since Illustrator 88 and am one of your most-experienced users. My files are not causing any problems. The problem is the stealth apps that show up in my Mac's Activity Monitor. Once I quit the CC InDesign version (I've installed 2014 and 2017) and restart the Mac, your problematical stealth apps do not reappear... until I boot CC2014 or CC2017 again. Please give us the option of turning off these stealth applications! I beg of you! Please listen! Please!

    This issue is not related to InDesign per se. It is generic with Adobe applications. Users are asking not to load services like Typekit, etc while working on Adobe apps as this is slowing them down.
