Place Multipage PDF script not performing how it should
Hi,
I am experiencing trouble within my InDesign using the "PlaceMultipagePDF" java script under the scripts panel. My issue is that when I go to choose my file for my document and choose which page I want the PDF to start on (like page 5 out of 130) it no longer goes to the page I choose, but adds on top of the content on the last page (like page 105) and adds extra pages with the rest of the import of the pdf at the END of the document and not the one I chose.
Thughts?

hatched stroke styles
Hatched stroke styles aren't distributed evenly around ellipses and circles. The last segment appears twice. Works fine with dotted line, though.

Pop ups fail
Hi, I have Id cc 13.0.1 by Adobe Creative Cloud. When I double clic on an indd file all pop up menus from differents windows don't work, I can choose (e.g. vertical alignment from framework option or multiply from effects) but the original option remains. If I open the app first and the file later it works perfectly.
Hope this helps. Bye!1 vote -

Controlling defaults for ME options - doesn't work for cut/paste?
I'm using the ME edition of InDesign 2018. The majority of my work is exclusively left-to-right, so I've set all default options to those appropriate to English (UK) text. This works fine when I'm creating a text box with the text tool, but when I cut/paste text without having a cursor in a pre-existing text box, the automatically-created new text box always has "right-to-left text direction" selected in its Story options. Is there any way I can change this default?

Button area changes size when adding object that only appears on rollover
Hello!
I am having issues with buttons, rendering my project entirely unusable.When creating buttons on a map:
- Each button is a building on the map.
- When you rollover the building with your mouse, a box appears that gives more information about the building.To accomplish this, I create the button, set it to change on rollover, and drag my additional graphic into the rollover state for that button on the layers panel.
The issue I'm having is that instead of the overall button size staying the same, once I add that additional graphic in the rollover, the…

Find Glyph uses character style set in the Text tab
It's not possible to set a character style in the Glyph tab of the Find/Change window. But if you set a character style in the Text tab, the Glyph tab uses that style to limit the search scope.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start a new document, add a character style. (Doesn't matter what formatting you add to the character style.)
- Place a text frame and enter 'xx'.
- Apply the character style you added in step 1 to the first x.
- Set the character style in the Find Format field of the Text tab of the Find/Change window.
- Go to the Glyph…
1 voteHi,
In step 4, are you setting the find format field to be the character style you have created in step step 1?
If yes, then InDesign will only find those “x” which have the character style same as in the find format field (=character style created in step 1 and applied to only first x)
https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/find-change.htmlPlease can you elaborate a little more on the steps.

When I export an indesign file to a PDF, Acrobat doesn't name it with the existing indesign file name. It puts some non-sense name instead.
When I export an indesign file to a PDF, Acrobat DC doesn't name it with the existing indesign file name. It puts some non-sense name instead requiring me to type in the name of the indesign file I've just exported. . Is there a setting I can choose that will automatically use the indesign file name when I'm exporting to a PDF?

Primary Text Frame auto flow does strange things
Auto text-flow suddenly produces this result while auto-adding new pages to fit the text-length.
Maybe it wants me to produce more "experimental books"… who knows.

Highlight/Colorize menu commands : changes retained temporarily , then disappear
Using the Edit > Menu Command to highlight/colorize frequently used commands. After spending a good deal of time setting this up, the menus only remain highlighted for a few minutes before the all highlighting disappears. Have repeated this exercise a few times, trashed preferences, always the same result.

high sierra and Creative Suite
I discovered an interesting bug concerning the Adobe CC suite and the HighSierra OS. Let me explain :
I'm using a LaCie Firewire 800 external hard drive on which I'm recording completed jobs.
Regularly, but not always, when using the InDesign or PhotoShop drop-down menu, the cursor takes the form of the multi-color wheel and blocks any action until I force the external hard drive to eject.
I use many other software publishers such as Panic, Apple, Google, GitHub, ... that never presents this dysfunction.Here is the LaCie drive information:
Volume Name: LaCie
Volume type: Physical volume

Files with special characters
When linking files with special characters in their name (German umlauts, to be precise) on an Apple Macintosh system, exporting the project and transferring the whole stuff to a windows system, everything looks perfect, but
- links in the indd file to assets with umlauts are recorded as missing
- relinking on a per-folder-basis does not find them, eitherWorkaround: re-link each file on a per-file basis.
Guess there is something wrong in the way indesign handles the file names internally (i.e. some encoding issue).

XML tagging with GREP
GREP is a great tool, but when we use GREP to highlight more than one character style in a paragraph there is an issue with the XML tagging tool.
Only the first GREP expression applies a character style that can be automatically tagged by character style. All further GREP expressions apply the character style but don't then go on to automatically tag by character style.
Currently we have to work around it with scripting, but it is a very strange bug to have.

cannot place XLSX table
I'm unable to place an Excel file/table. When I choose Place...select any Excel file (.xls or .xlsx) and check "Import Options":
- Options dialog appears, but no fields are selectable, except decimal places.
- Click OK, and I get nothing. No error message, and no content.If I place a file WITHOUT options, I get the content of the Excel NOT as a table, but as tab-delimited text. This is not acceptable, as the integrity of the table is lost when I "convert text to table." Where there are (supposed to be) empty cells, data from other cells appears where…

fonts appearing as distressed almost
Some fonts appear as distressed. Almost like there's a pattern overlay on them. It changes as you move the text box around on the screen. Doesn't export into pdf like this, only in active document (see blue text, I've included what appears in indesign and how it looks normally)

Incorrect transparency redering on screen
When I open a document that has a drop shadow applied, the shadow papers misplaced and distorted. If I turn the drop shadow off and on again, it fixed the issue. Also if I open a document that has an Outer Glow applied, it appears too opaque and too large. It seems that if I apply an Outer Glow to to the Object effect , save and close the document and reopen, somehow an Outer Glow is also applied to the Text effect. Other similar issues as well.
