4. InDesign 2020 Middle Eastern, Arabic language causes reversed numbers order

   When working with Arabic and wanting to have Roman Digits, one needs to choose the "Arabic" digits option.
   More option that should be set for Arabic are:
   Character direction should be set to "default"
   Paragraph direction should be set to "Right to Left"
   Paragraph composer should be set to "Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer"
   Language should be set to "Arabic"
   Ligatures should be "On"

   BUT
   If I type a date that suppose to be presented like this:
   9/1/2020
   as soon as selecting "Arabic" for language the order is reversed to this:
   2020/1/9

   As digits has a built in Left to Right direction, all neutral characters between the numbers should get the same definition. This is how it worked until the 2020 update.
   Now it looks that all the "/" characters where not effected by the numbers direction and remained Right to Left direction.

   Mac Pro (Late 2013)
Software OS X 10.14.6 (18G2022)
Processor 3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5

5. File name editor in book tool

   It would be incredibly useful if you could use the book editor panel to be able to rename the underlying file. For instance, just before I finalise a textbook, I would like to be able to put chapters numbers in as a prefix to each file.

   At the moment, I have to remove "all" the files from the book. Or rename the files after closing InDesign. Then I patch up the book by using the resultant errors to remind me of which file goes in which sequence in the book. This process is very time consuming and unnecessary, considering the amount of synching this triggers.

   Kind regards

6. InDesign and Acrobat conflict

   I just installed InDesign 2020 15.0. When I try to export a file to PDF I get an error message saying that file is already open, which it is not. Closing Adobe Acrobat and reopening doesn't solve issue, only restarting InDesign does. Hugely inconvenient. I have not been prompted to upgrade Acrobat and I never had that problem with earlier InDesign versions.

   To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.

   If you still face this issue even after updating to the latest version of InDesign, please submit the crash report to us. (The guidelines to submit crash are available at (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/submit-crash-reports.html)

8. workspace problems in Indd 2020

   I am working on two major projects and have created my custom workspace that gives me the panels needed for these projects. After saving the changes made for the day and closing InDesign, upon opening Indd for the next session, the work space has been set to Essentials, even though the files that require my s=custom workspace are open. I go to the workspace menu and change the work space to my working workspace and it does change, but the menu still says Essentials.

9. PDF Comment Loading in the Master Page

   We have recently updated to 2020 version. In the previous version when I load PDF comments in InDesign they appear in the pages where they are suppose to appear. Now, in the 2020 version, they appear in the Master Page. Why is it like this?

   Also may I suggest when copying text in the PDF Comments panel that the "Command+C" be activated as this is more instinctively than clicking the "Copy" button from the panel.

10. Ungrouping deletes all items

    Using Adobe InDesign CC up-to-date on a PC running Windows 10.

    1. Ungrouped group of text boxes + image boxes.
    2. All text in boxes disappeared but outlines remained. However in the layers you could see that they were deleted.

    Strangely enough, by deleting a different hidden layer, I could ungroup the group and they would not be deleted.

    Definitely the weirdest InDesign bug I've seen to date.

    Any help would be appreciated!!

13. Document slowdown when fonts not activated

    When fonts aren't activated in an InDesign document, InDesign CC2019 slows down and is practically unusable unless you activate most or all of the fonts used in the document. This wasn't the case in previous versions of InDesign, when you could deactivate fonts intentionally in order to troubleshoot files. In long form documents that may use multiple fonts, this was an especially useful tool.

    As InDesign documents are frequently separated from their fonts, especially when using font managers instead of Document fonts, this slowdown becomes a burden when checking files in larger workflows and inhibits font troubleshooting. Could the behavior in previous versions of InDesign, where the activation of fonts was not a requirement for file responsiveness?

14. Index entries lost when importing a .docx file with text frames into InDesign

    InDesign version: CC 2018
    MS Word version: 2013

    When I import a .docx file that uses text boxes/text frames/shapes into InDesign, most of the index entries within the .docx file is lost. When I import the same .docx file after removing all the shapes, all index entries remain intact.
    I've attached reference .docx and .indd files so that you can see what I mean. The .docx file (loremipsumindex.docx) has five index entries, that are lost when imported to InDesign (loremipsumindex.indd). On removing the text box from the .docx file (loremipsumindexwotxtbox.docx), the index entries are imported properly (loremipsumindexwotxtbox.indd).
    My assumption is that this is an InDesign bug. Let me know if there's a fix for this.

15. Buttons losing functionality when updating Table of Contents

    When you have a graphic or textbox and its converted to a button its lossing functionality when updating the Table of Contents.

    Apply go to Destination to the button and pick the text anchor it jumps too, when you update the Table of Contents the drop down list jumps back to the top link in the list. So it loses functionality.

    I found the same thing to happen when you choose show/hide buttons. It clears out what you have picked for showing what buttons you want on the page, it sets them to the normal icon.

    This is very frustrating. We are a large company that is always creating highly Interactive PDFs. This needs to get fixed right away or have a work around until its fix. Please let me know if samples are needed. This issue can always be duplicated.

17. Placed vector graphics show as low-resolution previews on export of book to pdf

    In InDesign 14.0.2 on macOS 10.14.6, when an InDesign indd file containing placed vector graphics (PDF or Illustrator files) is part of an InDesign book, and the entire book is exported to PDF, some graphics in the PDF show as low-resolution previews.

    Steps to reproduce the issue:
    Create two or more InDesign files with placed vector PDFs, and save and close them.
    Add these InDesign files to an InDesign Book file.
    Export the Book as a PDF.

    Expected result:
    Placed vector PDFs show as vector graphics in the exported PDF.

    Actual result:
    Some placed vector PDFs show as low-resolution previews in the exported PDF.

    See attached file. Note that in the PDF the bar chart on the second page is a low-resolution preview, even though the file is correctly linked in the source InDesign file. This PDF export was made from the InDesign book file with both InDesign files closed.

18. Email Hyperlinks Not Responding in Published Online File

    I have a document that contains some email hyperlinks throughout it. I set up the hyperlinks with the link to "email" option, and then the address as the destination. Creating a "mailto:xyz@xyz.com" link.

    After publishing online, when the links are clicked on, it takes the page to a "could not connect" page and does not respond correctly. BUT all email links work completely fine when copied and pasted, right click and opened up in a new tab, when clicking directly from an exported PDF, when clicking from the downloaded PDF from the published online document, etc. It's only from the direct link/web version of the published online.

    When you hover over it, the link in the bottom left shows displays "mailto:xyz40%xyz.com". Showing 40% instead of the @. I have read other forums and articles discussing this and saying that is a glitch in Adobe that can potentially cause problems at times. Which may be the root of my problem, may not be.

    I have also read about the workaround of this and I have tried changing my hyperlink from a link to "email" to an "URL" link, with the "mailto:" as the URL. That does eliminate the 40% mumbo jumbo I see in the bottom left, but the same problem occurs. Link does not work when clicking directly online from published version. Works fine all other ways. It's odd and very frustrating.

20. Fonts say they are activating but never activate

    Indesign 14.0.1 : When you click to activate a font it changes icon to "activating" but it never actually activates. this is happening across all 60 plus computers at my organistaion.
