Licensing restriction in the Font issue, while using a FREE FONT
Cannot export a PDF file while using a handwriting Font from many sources, even though they are Licence free.
Here is the font Im trying (https://www.pelikan.com/pulse/Pulsar/de_DE.CMS.displayCMS.209793./schriften) after off course talked to the company asking for this issue. They confirm the font is free to use.
Secondly I tryied differente font source and the problem remains.
Any idea?

Putting an InDesign extension into Panel mode from Modeless fails to display the extension
Changing the <UI><Type> field in the manifest.xml from Modeless to Panel for an extension which has already been run as a Modeless type causes InDesign to crash, or fail to display the panel. This change was possible in previous versions of the application, and works correctly in Illustrator.
Steps:
1) Start with the UI Showcase sample from the Adobe CEP resources GitHub. https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/tree/master/UI_Showcase
2) Install it
3) Start the InDesign application
4) Open the Modeless version of the UI Panel from the Extensions menu
Result: this shows correctly
5) Close the panel, shut down InDesign
6) Change the UI/Type for the Modeless type to Panel in the manifest.xml
7) Start InDesign
8) Select the Modeless version of the UI Showcase from the extensions menu
Result: Nothing happens, or InDesign crashes

Indesign 13.1 x64 (PC), Cell styles, Ignore option not working
I can't get the "Ignore" option to work when setting up cell styles, I've had it working on previous versions, but now it won't stay (it needs to show in the rule type and colour setting selector panel but when I select "Ignore" nothing shows in the panel - it needs to display the "Ignore" setting). An example of when you might use it is if you've set up a table with various cell styles, eg header row, thin underlines, thick underlines and a table end rule and then want to apply a tint panel to all, or some of one or more columns without changing any of the rules applied using other cell styles (Annual Reports are documents where you would like this to work)
It's a very handy feature that doesn't seem to work any more.
Thanks,

Master Page not reflected on some document pages. Adobe InDesign CC 2018. Workaround was to change the affected document pages to another master page, then change back to the original master page. The document pages then refreshed to the expected result.

applying colour to grayscale images against coloured background previews incorrectly
When I place a grayscale jpg in a frame with a background colour of C100/Y85/M0/K38 and apply a colour of C0 / M84 / Y100 K13, it displays correctly, red image against blue background. When I export that to PDF, the PDF preview shows no red, and a black box with the grayscale image knocked out in blue. When I open that in Acrobat Pro, it again displays correctly.

Bottom of Text Wrap is Incorrect
My body text doesn't wrap tightly to the bottom text wrap of my object like it does at the top (see gap between text wrap and start of body text).

Bold
Upon defining a style with its only attributes set to “Bold”, the “Style Settings” box still reports its attributes as “[None]” (without stating that it’s actually “[None] + Bold]”). The “Basic Characters Format” still states it to be “Bold”.
I encountered this as a nested-style which relies on a “Bold” style stopped setting its Bold where necessary. The document was a previous-version-created document, and I began a fresh document re-defining all styles. The unreported-Bold attribute behaviour is evident in the newly created v13.1 InDesign document.

printer
InDesign fails to print on networked printer.
Installed HP OfficeJet 6958 using HP "Wizard" to download drivers and install.
Printer is installed over wireless network (connected through router).Same error occurred when installing Canon iP110 using downloaded installer (it installed as Canon iP110 Series WS) (But CAN print to Canon iP110 installed through "add printer")
All other applications print fine, including PhotoShop and Acrobat.
InDesign goes through print process (window pops up to show pages being processed), but does not print. File does not appear in printer queue.
This occurs with all documents - graphics, non-graphics, etc.
I have:
- Restarted computer
- Uninstalled/reinstalled InDesign
- Set Printer Preset to "Default Printer" with all default settings
- Tried printing a document with only one text box, arial font, nothing in master pages - failed to printReinstalled printer and tried again - same results.

I'm using Windows with InDesign cc 2018, but I can't seem to export a single page from a multipage document.
I know I can export separate pdf files, but I don't want 90 separate pages, I should be able to simply select one page and export it, with the printer's marks. I also tried to print to pdf using the print settings, but was unable to create a pdf file with the printer's marks and bleed, even though these were selected in the dialogue box.

Indic script rendering issue
It seems that Indic Scripts should be supported by default in InDesign, without having to separately check boxes in preferences or select "World Ready Paragraph Composer" in the paragraph window's menu.

will not find/change text in locked boxes. why is there an option to find/changed locked text if it does not work?
My idea is if you have a feature in the find/change panel that ostensibly allows you to find and change text in locked layers or boxes....that it should work to change the text! Trying to change locked section heds, but the feature won't find and change them unless they are unlocked. Which. IS. Not. Helpful.

IDML Table style EndColumnStrokeType attribute missing
When an Alternating Column Pattern is created in a Table style any value for Type does not get exported to IDML.
I would expect to find the EndColumnStrokeType attribute, but it is never created. The equivalent StartColumnStrokeType, StartRowStrokeType and EndRowStrokeType attributes do exist.
The missing attribute is not documented in the IDML specification PDF.

Printing scale issues when printing with different color output options for composites
Hello everyone,
spotted nasty printing bug.
When printing using "scale to fit", OUTPUT->Color: Composite and OUTPUT->Color: InRip or just Separations then the prints do not match (crop marks, image etc.) between "Composite" and "Separations".
Paper size and printer model doesn't matter.

text wrap detect edges
ID 13.1 x64, Win 7, AI 22.1 64 bit
Text wrap w/detect edges may not detect text in AI file, may not detect shapes well. Have AI file with graphic and text placed in anchored frame in ID doc. If set to wrap around shape, detect edges, text in ID doc runs through text in AI graphic. Also (noted in in forums ) text may not wrap around white or nearly white shapes in AI graphic.1 voteThanks for reporting the issue.
Is this an issue only in the latest/recent release? What was the experience in older versions of InDesign?Adobe InDesign team

ne
Using current version of InDesign (2018). Everything up-to-date.
Headers disappear on 2nd page of copied tables. Similar to problem seen
This happens every time a copied table goes to 2 or more pages.
Tried resizing frame but nothing changed. Attempted to install 2017 fix file but will not load.
Any ideas/help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Graphic Frame Text Wrap in Find/Change Object
I'm running InDesign 12.0.0.1 (2017) on mac OS 10.12.6 (Sierra). I was originally trying to write a script to automate changing text wrapping on all graphic frames in the active document to wrap to the largest area (TextWrapSideOptions.LARGEST_AREA). When I couldn't get a script that should have worked to function properly, I decided to try automating Find/Change Object queries. That's when I discovered that the manual queries weren't function. Allow me to elaborate:
Here's what I want to do:
Change the "Wrap Options > Wrap To" setting (TextWrapSideOption) for all graphic frames to "Largest Area" (TextWrapSideOptions.LARGESTAREA). This should really only have to apply to those graphic frames set to "Wrap around bounding box" (TextWrapModes.BOUNDINGBOXTEXTWRAP) and "Wrap to contour" (TextWrapModes.CONTOUR).Here's the problem:
It only works if the graphic frame is set to "Wrap to contour." If the graphic frame is set to "Wrap to bounding box," then it either reports "Cannot find match," or it purports to have found the objects and have changed them, but does not actually change their text wrap modes. I've tried specifying the "Wrap to..." setting in the Find/Change query and many other setting (which are all unnecessary, if the graphic frame is set to "Wrap to contour"), and nothing works.I've scoured the internet, and even my not-inconsiderable Google fu has turned up nothing on this problem. I have, however, reproduced it on several machines in my office. For your reference, I've included a set of screenshots from various simple queries and their results. With the help of an expert, here's the script I developed that should have done the trick:
var doc = app.documents[0];
var allGraphics = doc.allGraphics;
var allGraphicsLength = allGraphics.length;for ( n=0; n<allGraphicsLength; n++)
{
allGraphics[n].textWrapPreferences.properties =
{
textWrapSide : TextWrapSideOptions.LARGEST_AREA ,
applyToMasterPageOnly : false
};
