  1. Every time I try to save an InDesign file my Macbook Pro Crashes to Black

    Every time I try to save an InDesign file my Macbook Pro Crashes to Black. Files seem to be recovered upon reboot, but reboot takes a while - especially when you save a dozen times a day or more.

  4. Shortcut duplicate is still not working under BigSur on MacBook Air (M1)

    This is a very often used shortcut, so it is quite uncomfortable to work without. When will it be fixed?

  6. Selecting 'Save as' from drop-down – nothing happens

    Using InDesign 16.0.2, opened a local .indd file, made an iterative change and selected 'Save As' to create a derivative file. Nothing happened, no save dialog box at all. I quit InDesign and relaunched, and that seemed to clear the problem. This has happened at least once before in the last month. Though that might have been in the previous build before the most recent InDesign update (18days ago). The app wasn't frozen or inactive in other ways, it just wouldn't let me 'Save as' until I relaunched the app. So no crash report to send on. I use the…

  7. InDesign 2021 (16.0.2) file corrupted dialog

    InDesign 2021 states on save that the file is corrupted but its correctly on the network share (Acronis Files Connect). InDesign 2020 didn't had any problems with this.
    On a side note: Why is it not possible to download the Update 16.1 as release a few days ago?

  9. small window when packaging files

    InDesign 2021: When I go to package a file the window that comes up is now small. It used to be larger. I have to expand it every single time I want to package so I can see my folders. Is there a fix to put it back to the original size or if I adjust it can stay the same size?
    See attached files please.
    Thank you so much for your help.

    The fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2021(v16.1.0.20). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.

    If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application and click on the context menu on the top right and click on Check for App Updates.

  11. Share Review Highlight tool not showing on the desktop version

    I am using Version 16.0.1 x 64 and decided to test Share Review. I noticed that the highlight tool Is only showing in the online version. When I activate the comments on the desktop Version I see that there should be a comment on that page but doesn't show the text to be highlighted. (I tried Changing the colour of the highlight and still Not showing) - I am leaving the comment as a guest.

  13. Bug Buttons and forms

    Indesign 2020 - MacOs 10.13.6
    in order to make an interactive PDF, I first created my bookmarks and then my buttons.
    Yesterday I programmed them all with the "hit target" function to go to the desired page. Everything worked.
    Today, I reopen the document and half of my buttons got deprogrammed, they are all with my 1st bookmark on the list.
    I was still on the CS6 a week ago and it all worked perfectly!
    In order to deliver my client in EMERGENCY, I have to save in idml and bring out my old Mac with CS6 to finalize it.…

  14. Placing Word-document imports wrong language for built-in style names

    Versions affected:
    InDesign CC2021 (and older).

    Steps:
    1. Use a non-english Word-version to make a Word-document.
    2. Use built-in styles to style text. For example "Overskrift 1" ("Heading 1" in Norwegian).
    3. Save as .docx
    4. Save as .doc
    4. In InDesign, Place the two Word-documents (including styles/formatting)

    Expected result:
    * Both documents import with the same style names they had in Word ("Overskrift 1").

    Result:
    * The docx places the text with the style name "Heading 1" (wrong)
    * The doc places the text with the style name "Overskrift 1" (correct)

    This makes round-trips via Word problematic. We are…

  15. Table auto numbering in a book doesn't work

    I am using the latest in the cloud version of InDesign (Jan 28 2021). I am constructing a book. Some files have tables. The style for the caption is set to number continue from previous number. But it is not working within the book.

  16. Command-N for "New Folder" within "Save" dialogue box doesn't work

    This is a bug – or at least, it doesn't adhere to the Mac standard for commands for "new folder." Such basic commands seem to fall by the wayside for flashy new features – but, why? It impedes workflow.

    It hasn't worked for a number of versions.

  18. Submit form

    Hi, I don't know if this is a bug with InDesign or Acrobat, but when exporting an Interactive PDF, the "Submit Form" button crashes InDesign. The button appears set up correctly. It's supposed to email the results of the form to an email address, but instead it crashes Adobe Acrobat..

  20. Bugs avec Windows 10 Pro

    De nombreux bugs d'utilisation des logiciels Adobe avec Windows 10 Pro (In Design / Illustrator et Photoshop).
    Dans InDesign : les fonds perdus sont ajoutés au PDF lorsqu'ils ne sont pas cochés dans les options d'export du PDF, ce n'est pas normal.

    La fenêtre "Format" n'apparaît pas toujours lorsque l'on veut l'afficher par Fichier > Format de documents... Je suis obligée de cliquer sur "Echap", car le logiciel ne répond…
