1. Dialog open to custom location on click of place option in indesign

   Click on place option in indesign.

   Dialog should open with custom location set from the script, not the previous opened location.

   Is there a way to control place dialog, to always show my custom location??

2. No Font Spacing Between Words in InDesign 2019 14.0.x-2 on Mojave 10.14.x-4, Works fine in InDesign 2014 (v10.0.70) on Yosemite (10.10.5)

   Posted it here too: https://forums.adobe.com/message/11049072#11049072

   So, we've had this issue on our new MacBook Pro running macOS Mojave v10.14.4 ever since last year in August when we were on High Sierra (what came with the Mac).

   Basically, InDesign is unusable with Gujarati Sangam MN on the 2019 version but on 2014 (v10.0.0.70) version on my old Mac (OS X Yosemite, v10.10.5) it works fine.

   What's causing this issue?

   We've tried the following:

   • Contacted Adobe & Apple support: Apple said to contact Adobe, Adobe was unhelpful, they suggested we look up if the font was installed it it is on the new Mac using Font book.

   • Updated Adobe InDesign 2019 to 14.0.2.

   • Arial seems to work, so maybe it's something to do with this font on new Macs or InDesign 2019?

   • Unrelated (because CC was showing trial expired from dropdown but a new account let us test the new update for 7 days, still same issue): https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/limited_access_repair_tool.html#

   Also noticed some images aren't rendering properly coming from Adobe InDesign 2014 to 2019.

   We simply cannot buy InDesign 2019/CC if this issue hasn't been fixed or can't be fixed.

   PS: Is there a way to move all the font options back to the top of the window like in InDesign 2014, rather than on the right?

   Pics included:

   No text spacing between words on Gujarati Sangam MN font, Adobe 2019 on Mojave 10.14.4.

   Adobe InDesign 2014 on old Mac Yosemite 10.10.5, renders fine (I made the file in this version and have been working with it ever since):

   Screen Shot 2019-04-27 at 22.33.54.png

   As you can see the spacing between words is perfectly fine, very annoying how Adobe InDesign 2019 isn't accomodating for this out of the box.

   Screen Shot 2019-04-27 at 23.31.48.png

   Any how, I'm thinking of just choosing a template from Adobe Stock templates to redesign this resume, since it's proving so problematic and is due to a refresh. This current resume I designed from scratch in Adobe 2014, but it doesn't seem that portable to 2019 version.

   Thank you again, hope this can be solved or otherwise serve others too.

3. Page numbering is broken

   Since the latest update (InDesign 15.1.2) you can no longer change the page numbering to roman numerals or a, b, c etc. When you make a new section and change the style of numbering system - nothing changes. You can also not make a page have a new number - for example change page 10 to page 20, it will remain as page 10. These are very important features of InDesign and need to be fixed as soon as possible.

   Step 1 - Menu - Layout - Number & section options
   Step 2 - Change page 1 to style 'i, ii, iii, iv ...'
   Expected result - pages numbered i, ii, iii etc.
   Actual result - no change
   Step 3: Change page 11 to page 1
   Expected result - page 11 is now labelled as page 11
   Actual result - no change

4. ePub incorrect color conversion of placed images

   Mac running 10.14.4
   InDesign 14.0.2 working color space is sRGB
   Image placed has embedded profile of sRGB
   Native InDesign content created with color numbers matching those in image
   Exported to ePub

   Result: RGB color numbers of native object correctly match those of original sRGB numbers BUT those of the placed image have changed. The numbers indicate they have been converted to the active display ICC profile!
   Happens whether object export options on image are set to JPEG or PNG.

   I confirmed this by changing the monitor profile in System Preferences and relaunching InDesign. the exported image's color numbers changed to the color numbers of the new monitor profile.

   Expected result: all RGB content should be converted to sRGB or, less optimally, all RGB color numbers could remain the same.

5. Form Fields from InD Tagged Improperly as block rather than inline elements on PDF export

   1. Ver 15.0.2
   2. Create fillable form in InDesign and export as interactive PDF.
   3. Form tags should be nested inside (for example) paragraph tags. Alternatively, Form tags should display "BLOCK" placement attributes in PDF (Tag Properties>Edit Object Properties>Attribute Object Dictionary).
   4. What actually happens is neither of these. Form tags are exported inline with other tags but without the BLOCK placement attribute. According to Matterhorn Protocol, these are not appropriate semantically for the structure element "Form." This is a PDF Accessibility issue.

   What I end up doing is taking each Form tag and nesting it under the descriptive P tag which precedes it. This is time consuming and could be automated.

   I would suggest either making this a default behavior or offering an option in InDesign's Object Export Options to set the BLOCK placement attribute. This would also frequently come in handy for figures or images that are placed as block items.

   Thank you!

6. Alt text transposition issue with book files

   I'm using a book file to organize a number of interactive forms.

   When I export out the forms as interactive PDFs, the alt text that was designated in the "button and forms" panel for that form field sometimes gets switched out for alt text that is used in another form if the fields share the same name. This happens on export whether I use the"Export book to PDF" option in the book panel or I use the "File" option export (ctrl+E keyboard shortcut).

   The alt text remains correct in the InDesign file and only gets switched out upon export.

   For interactive text fields, I use the "description" field in the "Buttons and Forms" panel rather than using "object export options" alt text panel (I leave that as the default: "from structure".

   This workflow had worked in the past: I had used a book file with the forms in a previous iteration about 1 year ago with no issues.

   I'm using Adobe CC 2018 on Windows 10 Enterprise 2016.

7. InDesign 2025 can't read metadata from multiple images

   macOS 15.2, InDesign 20.0.1

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

   Details:

   Multiple images from different sources containing metadata that InDesign doesn't recognize
   Presence of metadata in XMP Description field verified in Bridge and via InDesign's Links panel XMP File Info command.
   Generating a Live Caption or Static Caption when using the Description field returns "<No data from link>".
   Setting Object Export Options > Alt Text Source to From XMP: Description results in "metadata property is not present on some selected content".
   When a PDF is generated using the images in question, the metadata is not passed through to the PDF, resulting in missing alt text accessibility errors.
   Manually writing (or copying and pasting) the metadata to the Alt Text Source as Custom works, but as does manually creating a caption, but automation is the point.

9. URGENT: Add an "Empty Output" Option for Text Variables

   Currently, InDesign text variables (e.g., Running Headers) always display the last non-empty value when the source is empty. While this behavior can be useful in some workflows, it causes major problems in others. In publishing and educational workflows, having an “empty” variable output display the previous value is unacceptable.

   We urgently need a way to explicitly tell InDesign: “If the source is empty, display nothing (truly empty).”

   Proposed Solutions:
   - Introduce a new special character (e.g., “Null Variable Marker”) that, when placed in the source text, forces the variable to render as empty.
   - Alternatively, provide an option in the variable definition: “Treat whitespace-only sources as empty.”

   This is an urgent request. It affects daily workflows in publishing, education, and large-scale editorial projects and needs to be prioritized.

10. Some dielines converting to filled shapes

    Environment:
    CS 2025 (InDesign 20.0.1, Illustrator 29.1)
    Mac Studio (M2 Ultra, 192gb, Sonoma 14.7.1)

    We receive dielines as .dxf files from engineering. We open these files in Illustrator and create a layered file (dieline and art), export the individual layers as dieline and art, then impose the project using InDesign. Some dielines are changing from a stroke to a filled shape (think Minus Front) once the .pdf file is written from InDesign. (line verified as line in Illustrator in both the Illustrator document and the pdf generated of the dieline to use for imposition. InDesign generated (imposed) pdf file is different from the files used to create the pdf. Attempted to resolve problem by placing Illustrator file and using "Object Layer Options" to control desired art. No effect.

    Occurs mostly on interior cuts, not perimeter cuts.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks for looking this over.

11. Certain dialogue boxes appear partially off screen and can't be moved back on screen

    Certain dialogue boxes appear partially off screen and can't be moved back on screen. For example, the Find/Change dialogue box and the Export dialogue box [specifically export to PDF (Print)] have both become almost unusable for me because important sections of those two boxes are located off screen. See attached screenshots. Dialogue boxes that allow you to expand them by clicking and dragging the edges/corners of the box are less of an issue - they often appear partially off screen, but once they're expanded at all, the whole dialogue box pops back into view. The Find/Change and Export dialogues do not allow this kind of expansion so that trick does not work for them. I've tried all the fixes that I've seen suggested for this issue online, including restarting my computer and changing the resolution of my displays, but none have worked. I've even updated to Windows 11 and that didn't fix it. I am using InDesign 2024 version 19.5 on Creative Cloud Desktop. There are currently no updates available for InDesign.

12. broken links from placed .docx file

    When I place a .docx file into InDesign, any link that contains an anchor tag (like this-- .pdf#page=543) is removed. This happens even when I check to "Preserve Styles and Formatting..." from the import options popup.

    Not only that, the linked text still shows hyperlink formatting, but when I highlight it to recreate the link, the "create new hyperlink" button in the hyperlink panel remains grayed out (removing the hyperlink style has no effect on this--I have to delete and then retype the text before it can be linked).

    The only way I've found to get the links to import correctly is to convert the .docx to a .doc or .rtf file. Since pretty much everyone uses .docx now and there are other formatting issues to contend with when converting a text file, it would be helpful if all links would come over correctly when placing a .docx file.

13. InDesigns gives me random stuff when clicking on an option

    Recently, I'm in for a surprise when trying to use InDesign. I click on a certain option, and something random pops up, for example while typing this, I'm clicking on "Window > Pages", I'm getting redirected to Adobe website to buy InDesign (note, I already bought the license). Clicking again, redirected to another InDesign file, clicking another time, now I get my Table Style, basically I get everything except the Pages.

    It's always a surprise what I get and I don't know how to get rid of this issue once and for all. This is the case for every option. Sometimes something random happens, something nothing happens. All my tools seems to work normally, so there's that.

    This is the third time that it happened to me. Closing and reopening Indesign seems to work, although that's not really something that I want to do all the time, but it's necessary since this pretty much breaks the whole program.
    I don't know what causes this, leaving InDesign open for the night, maybe? I have no clue.

    I was working on some stuff for work yesterday, the InDesign files are stored on a server. However when going home, I didn't close the InDesign files, but I did get disconnected from the server, now I'm back at work connected with the server, InDesign still open. Not sure if this is relevant, I honestly wouldn't know why InDesign is acting so weird. If I had to give a timestamp on it, I would say it first happened a month ago? Might be little more or less.

    I've inserted a screenrecording. Sometimes nothing happens, sometimes I get something random (which seems to be most of the case from my experience).

14. Crash: "Keep Lines Together" (All) and disabled "Allow Split Footnotes" crashes InDesign if there are footnotes in a table

    100% reproducible on InDesign 15.0.2 on Windows 10.
    Sample document for easy reproduction: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iirawdsvd27l95l/indesign%20crash.indd?dl=1

    Starting point:
    1. I have a table containing some footnotes.
    2. Footnotes are not allowed to be split.
    3. The table (including footnotes) doesn't fit in the frame, so the last row jumps to the next frame.

    To crash InDesign:
    1. Place the text marker in the paragraph containing the table.
    2. Go to Keep Options.
    3. Check "Keep Lines Togheter" and "All Lines in Paragraph".

    Result: InDesign immediately hangs and you have to force quit.

    Please fix? Should be easy to track down the internal cause with the sample document and reliable reproduction. :)

    ---

    Ps: This was a bit time consuming to track down when my document spanned 100 pages and changes many pages away caused the table to move and crash InDesign. -.-

    100% reproducible on InDesign 15.0.2 on Windows 10.
    Sample document for easy reproduction: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iirawdsvd27l95l/indesign%20crash.indd?dl=1

    Starting point:
    1. I have a table containing some footnotes.
    2. Footnotes are not allowed to be split.
    3. The table (including footnotes) doesn't fit in the frame, so the last row jumps to the next frame.

    To crash InDesign:
    1. Place the text marker in the paragraph containing the table.
    2. Go to Keep Options.
    3. Check "Keep Lines Togheter" and "All Lines in Paragraph".

    Result: InDesign immediately hangs and you have to force quit.

15. Cannot use restrain option or opt/command/shift to make duplicates?

    Something I have been frustrated with since CS 2019 was introduced is starting to really annoy me now. I have not been able to find how to fix the problems but basically ....
    If I draw a rule using the Line tool using 'shift' to restrain the rule to horizontal or vertical does not work, it just floats about at any angle you can think of - I just want to draw a perfect horizontal rule without having to go and edit the position markers!
    Then there's the restrain option to enlarge or reduce shapes/images etc - it no longer works!
    The most useful option of being able to select any object/text block etc and then use 'opt/command/shift to duplicate inline now just moves the object or text block rather than making a duplicate!

    Using CS InDesign 2019 on Mojave 10.14.6

    The solution to the problem was sorted out thanks to the Adobe Support Agent 'Darakhshan' via chat.
    Seems the problem has been keyboard shortcuts that we're not functioning due to my Anti Virus software - all I had to do was disable Secure Keyboard entries (Webroot SecureAnywhere) and BINGO! Everything is now working perfectly!

16. InDesign 14.1

    Opening InDesign just by itself makes it freeze completely. Ball of death (on Mac) .
    It asks me if I want to start automatic recovery however I can't click on any of the options because the ball of death doesn't let me. The window with the recovery message consequently shows up on top of any other screen.

    I could make InDesign work ONCE yesterday after restarting and today it completely crashes again. Unfortunately it also means one of my files is now stuck 'open' which is untimely.
    This is the latest verstion both of InDesign as well as Mac OS.

    Aaand while at it my Adobe Creative Cloud is being an absolute nightmare logging me out a lot and when I enter my log in details and confirm it thinks about it and says - you have been logged out. Takes me several attempts to make it work.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers!

17. Cannot add CC Library P/C styles to documents more than one at a time

    New problem: suddenly I can't add paragraph/character styles from CC Libraries to documents unless I choose them one-by-one.
    (I'm trying to overwrite a previous version of the same styles, which to date I have done without issue nearly every day for months.)
    I have made no changes to my system (InDesign2018 Version 13.1 on Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.4).

    Description of behavior:

    1. Select list of Character (or Paragraph) styles and right-click to use option to add to the current document. "Add" option NOT available.

    2. Select single Character (or Paragraph) style and right click to use option to add to the current document. "Add" option is available.

    (See screenshots below for comparison.)
