Ability to Add more than One Page at a Time
I have a "large" technical textbook, in my case 20 chapters and at least 22 indd files, if I wnt to add a page or two to an existing chapter, each time I click the new page icon, it takes a while for InDesign to reassess page and section numbers. Ten clicks of "new page later", it rather timeconsuming.
How about an option, similar to adding rows/columns to a table, that allows you to specifiy how many pages you would like to add?
At the moment, adding 10 pages means watching it update section numbers 10 times.
Kind regards

Mike…1 voteYou can use the ‘Insert Pages…’ option from the Pages panel flyout menu to add many pages at once. You can also specify where you want to add those pages.
Does this work for you?

Text edits forcing blank
I keep encountering the same glitch in multiple documents where an edit to the text on one page forces a blank page (although running head and page number remain) on the following page, with the text re-flowing as expected on the page after that. For example, deleting an unwanted space is a frequent cause of this glitch. So far I've found 2 ways of making the text return to it's correct position and removing the blank:
1) place my cursor at the very end of the page before the unwanted blank and enter a space - this brings the text back onto the blank but doesn't actually add a space.
2) make a minor adjustment to the tracking/kerning of a single character on the page before the unwanted blank.Linked to this, occasionally some of my footnotes have disappeared as well - to get them back I have to adjust the size of the text box slightly and then restore it to its original size.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Copying RGB from Illustrator to Indesign no longer working. (Comes out CMYK)
When I copy an RGP element from Illustrator and paste it into InDesign, it comes out in CMYK (much more dull, and less vibrant than the RGB image). I have assured that my document is setup correctly and even had Adobe Support check it out and said that everything was setup correctly but the claimed that "copy and paste isn't the way to do it", and I need to "Place" the file every time. Am I the only one that finds this unacceptable? (Running the latest version of Adobe products and the latest MacOS Catalina)

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:
If used heading span 2 or more or spall all.
Placed any text wrap graphics,
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.

Cross references break when layer is duplicated
Indesign version 14.0.3 x64
Issue reproduction: Create a page number cross references that links to a text anchor on a different InDesign document. Close all documents except for the one on which the cross reference is, and then duplicate the layer.
Expected result: the cross refereferences should be preserved.
Actual result: The cross references will break and display <?> on the new layer.
Work-around: open ALL documents that are referenced first (in my case up to 100), then duplicate the layer. Cross references will be preserved.
Sample docs attached... oops "Invalid file type: .indd not allowed"
I guess I'll attach screenshots:Indesign version 14.0.3 x64

Master Pages text frame
Version 14.0.3 in Windows 7.
- Created a documents with facing pages and primary text frames
- Master A with text frame rule so can visible.
- Created Master B which is based on Master A
- Resized text frame of Master A
- Impact on master B.. Text frame shifted out of page area.
This strange behavior is while resizing using mouse drag. If resize through control panel it's perfect. But if move both mouse and through x,y control panel same strange behavior.
Pl checked attached files for reference.1 vote -
Adobe Customer Service Bug
Adobe Customer Service and Support is non-existent. As in, no resolutions, no callbacks, constant lies to customers, and zero fixes.
It's crazy and super lame.

Spell check for Mandarin Chinese
I would like InDesign and other products to recognize that I am typing in Chinese. A spell check would also be helpful. Currently, it assumes English UK, no matter what I type. (I'm actually using English USA and sometimes Chinese for clients.)

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!

Keyboard shortcut for Break Link to Style is not working correctly
InDesign 14.0.3
When I use a shortcut for Break Link to Style in the Paragraph Styles Panel, it completely destroys the formatting.
However, when I select the same command with my mouse - it works as expected - breaks the link with the style, while retaining formatting.

InDesign White object exports as RGB in PDF/X 2008 PDF
Not sure if this is a bug or intended but I don't think I have had this before as I have saved this file in the past for printing.
InDesign Vers. 14.0.3
White vector object (outlined text in InDesign not Linked/Placed) is changed to an RGB object when exported as a PDF from InDesign using PDF/X 2008 No Conversion Lab Ink Manager Values for Pantones are Lab for Spots & Convert all Pantones to CMYK.
Tried a test using the Save for Print default setting and it came out fine, as well as testing the Output Color Conversion set to Convert to Destination (Swop) preserve numbers which also did not produce the object as RGD. I tested using the paper colour as well as setting it as CMYK 0000 for the colour.
My colour settings are set to N/A general purpose.
If this was a placed object that was RGB white I could understand it not converting to CMYK if I didn't have convert to destination turned on but it is an InDesign Object that is coloured in InDesign using CMYK white.
Am I missing something?
