1. Photoshop Layers Not Displaying or Exporting Correctly from InDesign 2024

   Using InDesign 19.3 and placing (via link) a layered PSD into layout, preferred layer visibility (as spec'd in import options) is failing.

   Layer is part of a Group in Photoshop; part of the group is visible, part isn't (when viewed in InDesign).

   It isn't just a preview issue, because if I export a PDF from ID, the layers aren't visible in the PDF either.

   For now, my workaround is to use an earlier (2023) version of InDesign. The layers in my linked PSD preview and export correctly using the earlier version.

   I've tried recreating the missing elements (rules) in Photoshop (2024) but the problem persists.

   Any insights would be much appreciated.

2. I work with book interiors. Have been reading about the nightmares designers have had adjusting the margins of text boxes

   I am not a cool millennial but I work with book interiors. Have been reading about the nightmares designers have had adjusting the margins of text boxes once there are several hundred pages and changing the master pages doesn't alter the actual position of the text boxes. Can I agree with the comments attached below -- to you Adobe company people -- don't **** off loyal users who were using Adobe before the millenials were born -- PLEASE STOP taking away features!!!!! I have recently updated to ID2021. Am I still going to have this bug -- as I now need to adjust the margins a tad away from the spine having just received the hard proof of a 500 page paperback. Thanks :-)

   Again Adobe, the upset stems from your same and recurrent problem (across your product "upgrades"), you don't get it: stop "taking away" features (especially default ones, like you changing the psd default "constraint proportion"... so bad).
   Add new options to old features if you think it improves, we'll click it ON if/when it's suits our type of work (or way of working), but don't (why???) take away what's there, works and have been working for ever.

   It's amazing the lack of knowledge (or depth of knowledge) you too often demonstrate about how your software are (day in-day out) being used/by whom/and for what kind of projects. Try test driving with people who have been working with them for more than 5 minutes, they might not be cool millennials, but they sure understand Indesign (and PSD, and AI...), and are not confused about "which software" to used for doing "what" well.

   For myself, it's sadly the number one complaint I have with Adobe. I use your software every day and find them truly amazing and I think Indesign is the top in it's field.

3. [ID-4275271] Find/Replace Dialog box functionality was changed in 20.3 tabbing from Find now goes to the Special Character button

   in InDesign 20.3 there was a change to the find/replace dialog box. When I tab out of the "Find what:" field it goes into "Specials characters for search" button instead of the way it used to work where it would tab into "Change to:" field.

   I work on large books with data that I cannot control how it comes in and it is not connected. These books have three versions so there are three layers to work on. I need to make the same changes to all three layers. I have a rhythm, and I tend to work fast. At this point it is pure muscle memory (18 years of doing it this way) when using find and replace. Trying to remember to add an extra tab is constantly slowing me down and really frustrating me.

   If you cannot change it back, PLEASE give me the option to disable it or turn the special character button off so it will bypass it. And work the way it used to. I do not use it, have never in 18 years used it and won't use it.

   I was able to turn off everyone single choice in that button and even with nothing to select it still has the option to open an empty drop-down menu.

   I looked at many different forums. Went through numerous settings, If I missed a way to do this I apologize and would love to know where to look.

   Help me Obi-wan, you’re my only hope.

   Thank you

4. InDesign: Insert authors document's metadata without quotes

   Version
   Adobe InDesign up to 2023.

   Steps to reproduce the issues
   Setting the active document’s metadataPreferences.author with multiple authors, separated by comma or semicolon in a string via extendscript:
   
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.author = "Elric Wade; Anne Emu; Sophie Kumpir";


   Expected result
   The authors should be placed into the "Author" metadata field, separated by comma or semicolon.

   Actual result
   The authors are placed into the "Author" metadata field, but all set within double quotes, so they appear to be one author, not multiple authors.

   Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)
   See attached screenshot.

   Please make it possible to add multiple authors (e.g. with not quoting comma or semicolon separated strings, or by letting pass-in an array with names).

5. Adobe Review: automatic adoption of text suggestions and incorrect filter behavior

   When I receive comments on replacing text or deleting text sections via Adobe Review and these are displayed in Adobe InDesign 20.0, the display switches to comments with the status clarified. After each correction, which cannot be accepted with approval but must be made manually, I have to set the filter in the control panel back to unresolved comments to work on.
   It would be desirable for a filter to only be set in the control panel when I activate it. I would also like options for inserting, replacing or deleting text to be applied with a click and not have to be done manually.

6. Mp4 not work at "Place from URL" Option

   I have place mp4 files from "Place from URL" option in the document and its place nicely when I have prepared epub and publish online then doc display empty page after discussion with adobe they told me that mp4 not compatible, so i have to convert video in FLV extension then it will work, which is impossible for me. MP4 is most useful extension and Adobe need to solve this and make mp4 compatible for it.

   Keep in Mind when we place from "Place from URL" Not direct placing of MP4 file, "Place form URL" Option.

   Thanks!

7. leave User Workspaces ALONE

   Leave User Workspaces ALONE!! Updates should automatically grab the current workspaces and copy them in, STOP trying to shove three versions of "essentials" down our throats. Not all of us have admin access, so deleting after every update isnt an option. It also stops non-admin users from migrating manually. To say this is frustrating would be an understatement.

   "Essentials" is TRASH, but every **** update removes any custom ones I have (YES even if I choose migrate, it doesnt do anything so I stopped bothering) and force it into "Essentials". Just STOP. You DO NOT know our workspaces better than us. This shouldnt be difficult, but Adobe has been doing this for years, and now InDesign 2025 has THREE different Essentials? Thats missing the point entirely and then congratulating yourself for it.

8. after cmd+D manually drawn frame does not match the placed image

   If I place an image with cmd+D and then draw the frame manually with the mouse, the frame always has the same aspect ratio (3 to 4 landscape) and if I want to place an image in portrait format, the frame does not match the content. So far, this has always been the case without any extra setting or key combination. But now since a few days I can't achieve this again with any setting.

   ChatGPT advises me to select ‘Fit frame to content’ in the frame fitting options or in the presettings, but this is no longer available for selection. Has this been deliberately changed or is this a silly new bug?

9. Incorrect Justify vertically text frame

   Justify vertically text frame is not correct every time particularly in more than 2 columns text frame. Tried all options and found some time there are space in bottom of last line as in attached file.

   Reproduced in the same in 2 or more columns text frames. This happens in:

   1. If used heading span 2 or more or spall all.

   2. Placed any text wrap graphics,

   3. Used with or without "Skip by leading"

   All the instances are same results, in some cases the space are more than the attached file, particularly if used "span all" for heading and place any "text wrapped" object

   I'm using Indesign 14.0.3 in windows 7 environement.

11. PDF Export Page Range Defaults to Previous Settings

    Adobe InDesign – PDF Export Page Range Defaults to Previous Settings

    When exporting a document to PDF in Adobe InDesign, the software retains the page range from the previous export session and uses it as the default setting for the next export. This behavior can lead to unintentional partial exports if the user forgets to manually reset the page range to "All" before exporting a new document or version.

    This issue disrupts workflow and increases the risk of delivering incomplete documents, particularly in environments with high output volume or multiple concurrent projects. It would be more efficient and user-friendly if InDesign automatically defaulted the page range to "All" for each new export operation, or at least provided an option in preferences to reset the range between exports.

    We request Adobe to consider implementing this feature in a future update to improve usability and prevent accidental export errors.

12. Edit with other - doesn't see Photoshop as an application

    I use the Indesign feature on the links menu to Edit With, either using the default application or another. We just updated to the latest CC (ps, il, in) and the other application isn't the same. For any jpg or pdf, it shows Photoshop or illustrator or Acrobat as available to open the image selected. However, if I select an ai. file, it shows Illustrator as the default, and Preview as another option - no Photoshop. I select Other to add Photoshop, go to the applications folders, click on Photoshop and it's only seeing it as a folder, not as an application.

    From a finder window, if I click on an ai. file, choose open with other, go to the applications folders, select Photoshop it does see it as an applications and allows me to open the file.

    It was a very useful, speedy way to edit images in either illustrator or photoshop using the Edit With in Indesign.

    Why doesn't it work now? Why does Indesign not see Photoshop as application anymore?

14. Pasteboard not centered in layout view

    I'm not sure if this is the right bug category, but when trying to view spreads, no matter what view option I pick, the pasteboard is aligned right only, with lots of extra room on the left. If I scroll all the way left, the left edge of the pasteboard is about in the middle of the view area and if I scroll all the way right, nothing past the right edge of the pasteboard is visible. It should be the other way around if not centered, because at least then, all my tool panels wouldn't cover up what I need to work on, on the right side. My only work arounds are to detach and move the tool panels, or zoom in enough that panel doesn't cover up my spread, or make a giant pasteboard so that there is enough extra room on the right side. All of which are annoyances that 'bug' me. ;-)

15. PDF export do not work with big documents

    Indesign 21.4.1
    Mac mini M4 24 GB
    Tahoe 26.5.2 (25F84)

    Document 1834 pages
    3 colums
    It contains only running text—no images—using paragraph and character styles. It is entirely in Times New Roman. The document is simple, though it is quite long.

    It creates a 0 KB PDF file and just keeps spinning without ever finishing. There are no error messages. The "Force Quit" menu shows nothing unusual.

    It is impossible to print using any of the "Adobe PDF Settings" options—such as "Press Quality," "High Quality Print," etc.

16. Footnotes display spanning columns correctly, don't print across both columns

    First time I've had to use the footnote options in InDesign. I have several pages with footnotes which occur at the bottom of each page in each associated text block. Span across columns is checked in both the Footnote Style I created, as well as in the Layout options. The footnotes display correctly on screen as intended. (See second screenshot)

    When I print spreads from InDesign to an Epson P5000, the footnotes only print the text that is under the lefthand column. All of the footnote text on the right disappears. (See first screenshot)

    Exporting the pages to a PDF generates the file as it shows on screen, and the resulting file prints to the same printer as expected. The footnotes are reproduced properly from the PDF file. I used a PDF X/1a file as that is what the printer needs.

    This appears to be a bug in InDesign's printing capabilities.

    See the two screen shots to see the problem.

    I checked for updated drivers for the Epson P5000, and updated the driver the current file 13.26. Restarted Mac, tried printing the file again. Same result. Display is correct, print output is missing footnotes spanning the second column.
    I checked for updated firmware, and updated it the N027N2. Restarted Mac, tried printing the file again. Same result. Display is correct, print output is missing footnotes spanning the second column.

    InDesign 20.3.1
    Mac Sonoma 14.6.1

    This bug was corroborated by another user in the community forums as repeatable.

    On first post, the server rejected my post. I deleted the screen shots.

    First time I've had to use the footnote options in InDesign. I have several pages with footnotes which occur at the bottom of each page in each associated text block. Span across columns is checked in both the Footnote Style I created, as well as in the Layout options. The footnotes display correctly on screen as intended. (See second screenshot)

17. Bad PDF Export to x1a with indd placed in InDesign

    • problem in InDesign CC2019 / macOS 10.14.3, 10.13.9
    • no problem with previous InDesign versions (on 10.13 systems)

    Sometimes i use InDesign document (page) placed into another InDesign document (because more work with some pages and reuse them in more documents). If these placed Indd documents contains RGB images with transparencies (like transparency in PSD files, or transparency effects applied to flat images in InDesign), these images are exported very bad, highly desaturated. But only when export to PDF X1a (required by our printer, i use profile "ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI)" in all indd). No problem when exporting to higher PDF versions like X-4 (even with Colour Conversion set to "Convert to Destination (Preserve Numbers)").

    Now i solve this by exporting to PDF X-4 and use this PDF instead of direct indd placing to main document, but this is another step (was more practical use indd in indd, and when changes required, just "Edit original" and save, now are more steps needed like find original indd document in Finder and update PDF for update in main document).

    I also tried export main document as X-4 and then flat this in Acrobat using Preflight, but have not found option to use "ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI)" profile and also it took long time (and crashed Acrobat).

    Please, is it possible to fix InDesign 2019 for proper x1a PDF export (with placed indd documents with transparent rgb images)? It worked OK in older InDesign.

18. Strange Whitespace areas

    I am using CC2019 and the have the same issue in CC2020. I have mysterious areas of whitespace that I can't use appearing on my pages. Please see the attached file. The file is part of a book. Page 110 (relative to book's start, the third spread in the file) is where the trouble starts.

    I don't mean to be a nuisance but sorting this out is rather urgent. I am going to destroy the document and start again out of desperation.

    Kind regards
    Mike Howell

    I have tried reducing image sizes.
    I have tried analysing the story.
    I have adjusted keep options.
    I have checked the text frame threading.
    I have looked for overlapping frames.

    I still can't work it out.

    Kind regards

20. 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.

    Screen Shot 2019-04-27 at 22.49.23.png

    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.
