1. Insering Anchroed text frame object shifts the vowels on referenced Arabic/Persian/Urdu text frame

   Hello there,

   We have only noticed this problem while dealing with Arabic/Persian/Urdu text (regardless of the fonts used). English text works just fine.

   When anchored framed is inserted, the vowels in the Arabic/Persian/Urdu text and sometime evens the characters in the text shift. The foreign text is typically perfectly fine prior to inserting the anchored object however changes. See before and after examples:

3. Random pdfs displaying weird text placement

   Since Adobe updated my InDesign to 2021, I have been having issues with fonts showing correctly in placed pdfs. Sometimes text will be completely removed. Other times text is displayed enlarged, upside down and reversed. It is not all pdfs. Sometimes it is just one page in a pdf that displays badly. Please fix this bug. It is very annoying when I'm trying to paginate and print files for clients.

4. Export stops at 0%

   Exporting common documents often results in a "crash" at 0%. No error comes up, it just stays at 0% indefinitely.

   If I try stop the export I can't, if I try close InDesign I can't. I have to force quit the program and open it numerous times following in order to get all of my fonts back and registered... even if it's in a package.

   Extremely time consuming and painful.

5. Data Merge Issue with Chinese Characters in Adobe InDesign 2025

   Version of Adobe InDesign

   Adobe InDesign 2017 (English version)
   Adobe InDesign 2025 (20.0, Traditional Chinese version)
   Steps to Reproduce the Issue

   Open Adobe InDesign and create a new document.
   Prepare a CSV file with Traditional Chinese text using UTF-8 encoding.
   Use the Data Merge feature to import the CSV file into InDesign.
   Place the merged data field into the document layout.
   Preview or finalize the merge.
   Expected Result

   The Chinese characters in the CSV file should be displayed correctly in the merged document without any distortion or encoding issues.
   Actual Result

   The Chinese characters appear as garbled text (random symbols or question marks) during the merge preview and in the final output.
   Switching to different fonts (e.g., TrueType, OpenType, or system default fonts) does not resolve the issue.
   Attempts with different encoding formats (UTF-8, UTF-16, etc.) and alternative CSV/text file formats (via Google Sheets, TextEdit) also fail.
   Upgrading to Adobe InDesign 2025 (20.0) Traditional Chinese version does not fix the issue.

6. Ligatures

   I loaded the Adobe InDesign CC Ap from Creative cloud, version 14.0.2 x64. The file I had used before now has missing text! Specifically the "fl" in the Active Ingredients list "Isoxaflutole" which now appears as Isoxa utole" throughout the whole book with empty space for the "fl". Even the word "flowables" appears as " owables".

   The file seems to have "Ligatures" checked in the character palette which I did not check. I'm using Helvetica fonts.
   Any suggestion as to how to get my text back? See attached files.

7. Germandbls in all caps with Adobe Composer

   This is to report that the "World-Ready Composers" and the regular "Composers" do not behave in sync concerning the Germandbls (upper case German sharp s) in all caps. More precise: The "World-Ready Composers" do it right, while the regular "Composers" do it wrong:
   Using the latter and applying all caps, the germandbls is generally substituted by SS, which shouldn't be. Modern fonts leave the decision to the typographer whether a Germandbls or SS is applied. In any case the first choice should be the Germandbls.

8. line spacing / leading glitches

   I often change line spacing of a single line by selecting the first character of a line and changing the line spacing. Normally, this will adjust line spacing for the one line, but I'm encountering a baffling glitch that changes the line spacing for the line under the affected bit of text where I changed the line spacing. Note that I'm changing the leading of the first character of a new paragraph line. Please see my screen record to see this in action. I have tried this with multiple fonts. I am using the most up to date version.

9. equation

   Hi,

   Questions from VilniusTECH University about equations printing problems. We have many equations in books and journals and when exporting to PDF, they sometimes lose characters. The most interesting thing is that equations prints once with errors but the next time exporting without errors, although no corrections were made. Equations are formated with Mathtype in a MS Word file and imported to InDesign 19.0.1 become non-editable EPS files. Changing equations fonts, PDF export profiles or Indesign versions does not help. MathMagic is not suitable for us because cannot automatically format questions with our profiles in MS Word file. Please see our examples.
   Maybe You know the reason and can help us? Thank You very much.

10. Everything on artboard goes to bitmap intermittently

    Running iD (15.1.3) on Windows 7 - Don't laugh this isn't my machine but the one I have to work on. grrrr!
    Every now and again the entire artboard contents and surrounds (not the UI), changes to low resolution resulting in something resembling a scene from the game Minecraft, fonts images imported vector graphics etc. This is only on inDesign, no other program, so it's not a system or graphics card error. The attached image shows up as all bitmapped but tin reality it's just the artboard that goes pear shaped. Is there a fix for this or is it a case of suck it up and do a total computer re-start as just an inDesign re-start doesn't rectify the problem?

11. [ID-4206993] InDesign crashes when exporting to PDF, but not to JPEG

    I'm using InDesign 13.1 for a simple 12 page booklet (see attached)

    First issue: ID was doing background work on a file for about 4 days and then ID crashed. Now whenever I open the program it asks me if I want to do "Automatic Recovery" for the file. If I click YES or CANCEL the program crashes. If I click NO the program stays open and I can continue to work. But if I go to export the 12 page booklet to PDF it crashes.

    I have: (1) uninstalled and reinstalled ID; (2) tried to export the file to a JPEG (which did NOT crash ID); (3) tried to export a different file to PDF (ID crashed);

    There's nothing unusual about fonts or graphics here. My ID skills are very VERY basic. Thoughts? Help? PLEASE?

12. Glyph substitution not working with certain Oriya and Bengali glyphs

    The following words in cannot be reproduced in InDesign. It seems the glyph substitution is not working in about 1% of cases.

    র‍্যানিবিজুমাব — Bengali
    ମହତ୍ଵପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ — Oriya
    ସ୍ଵେଚ୍ଛାକୃତ — Oriya
    କିମ୍ଵା — Oriya

    It looks fine above, in any text editor, or in any Microsoft app, but does NOT look right in any Adobe app I tested, such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop CC 2019 and 2020 of each.
    I am applying the World-Ready Composers.
    I have tried copy+pasting the text from Word and also tried the Place command in InDesign.
    I've tested in both the English North America and English Arabic versions.
    I've tried multiple fonts, as well. No change.
    See attached for examples. Word doc shows as it should be. InDesign shows it wrong. I highlighted the glyphs that are wrong in InDesign as pink.
    Thanks!

13. En Dashes turned into a Russian Cyrillic Small letter Yeru

    On Feb. 19, 2018, I worked on a document in InDesign CC 13.0 (Mac). I saved the document and all was good. Yesterday, March 28, 2018, I made some edits to the same document using CC 13.1 (Mac). But when a co-worker reviewed it, they noticed that the En Dashes (Unicode: 2013) I had used as a Bullet character had turned into a Russian glyph (Cyrillic Small letter Yeru, Unicode: 044B).

    The bulleted section of the document was not revised between Feb. 19th and yesterday. The edits I made were in other sections of the document. Nor did I change the paragraph or character styles in any way or change the type face/fonts.

    The other difference between the Feb. version and yesterday's version of the document in that I had installed the CC updates to InDesign: 13.1.

    This seems to be a bug.

14. Interactive PDF doesn't snap to fit when viewing in landscape mode on smartphones

    I created a 14-page landscape document in InDesign (12.2.1) that will ideally be viewed on desktops and smartphones and I needed to add hyperlinks.

    Adding hyperlinks in Acrobat causes glitches in the artwork (fonts distorted/ images shifted). Adding the links in InDesign exports great, but I’m creating this file to be viewed by anyone that wants to - which will likely be on a smartphone.

    I view it on my iPhone and when I hold my phone vertically, I can see the full (landscape) page (albeit small). But when I rotate the phone to landscape (to make it bigger), the top or bottom of the image is offscreen. This error doesn't happen with the glitchy version adapted in Acrobat.

    Is there a way to ensure that the PDF will snap to fit when viewed in landscape mode on a smartphone?

15. Location of link,indd & export files

    INDD CC on PC win10
    Working with local files and 2 LAN locations.
    1) Sick of Indd updating every week and forgetting file locations.
    2) the two options "Original Link folder" and "most recent Relink Folder" are meaningless.
    I would like to be able to drag a job folder from the network and work on it with Indesign first looking in that local folder for its links, link folder and fonts instead of the original job folder on the LAN.
    
    Why? - lets say I had an idea and want to test it without ruining the Main job. I make a local copy work with it, Decide that I like the result I can drop the folder on the network and tell it to overwrite the network files.
    EXCEPT only the local indd file is new all the work on the links will be overwritten with the original files - because it was still linking to the network - result all the new work is lost.

16. Character Style is cleared from copied Hyperlink

    June 26, 2020
    Windows 10 Home 1909
    InDesign 15.1 x64

    When copying text, the Character Style of Hyperlink text is not copied.

    Attached is a video showing the problem:
    ITC Officina OTF [book, bold] are used.
    A Paragraph Style is applied to all text.
    A Character Style is applied to the "portfolio" and "imdb.com"
    "imdb.com" is an active Hyperlink, as per the Hyperlinks panel
    Once copied, the Character Style is removed from "imdb.com".

    Bug happens if the Text Frame is copied, and/or if text is copied and pasted into new text box.
    Bug happens in multiple INDD files.
    Bug happens with different fonts.

    I successfully copied Hyperlinks with Character Styles about a month ago, as such, I believe the bug is related to InDesign 15.0 or 15.1

    Another user reported a similar issue, but for Mac:
    "copy/paste of URL loses character style"

    When I generate or update a TOC there is a roughly 7 in 10 chance InDesign 2025 will crash. This happens with multiple documents and has been happening consistently with every document since the release of 20.0 in October.

    • I initially thought it was because I was using ID '25 on macOS Ventura, but it's still happening with existing and new documents since updating my Mac to Sequoia.
    • Additionally, the same files moved to other computers (Windows 10, for example) also crash there when generating, updating TOCs.
    • Happens whether the documents in question are standalone or booked, with or without other TOCs in same document, with and without other documents opened.
    • No problems with ID '22, '23, or '24 on the same computer, with the same content in new documents or with the pre-existing documents that had pre-25 file versions.
    • Happens with vanilla, plain text headings (no GREP styles, no Xrefs, no text variables).

    I had hoped that all those literally more than 100 automatic bug reports would have had Adobe fix the problem or reach out to me for info, but no. My own troubleshooting hasn't turned up the culprit, so I'm asking the community for help.

    It literally took me a (work) week to generate the table of contents for InDesign Masterclass: Type & Tables: 2025 Edition (and actually delayed the publication of that book by more than a week) because InDesign crashed every single time, hour after hour, of trying to generate  the TOC for the INDB book of 12 INDDs. If I hadn't needed to teach MathML in the book, I wouldn't have used InDesign 2025 at all, and would have reverted to '24.

    For InDesign Masterclass: Text Techniques book I lost ALMOST a week with the same crashing. In the end, I built the table of contents by hand, line by line, hyperlink by hyperlink, instead of using InDesign's built-in TOC feature.

18. Windows 15.0.3 broke Book TOC when exporting to EPUB; works in 15.0.2

    Windows 10 15.0.3 broke Book TOC when exporting to EPUB; works in 15.0.2

    Not only did 15.0.3 eliminate Book > Export to EPUB option of EPUB Version 2.0.1, it changed the Table of Contents to include duplicate entries linking to every PAGE within a chapter. The Book.epub file had a separate .xhtml file for every page in the book, rather than one .xhtml file per chapter and one TOC entry per chapter. This makes the Table of Contents useless.

    Reverting InDesign back to 15.0.2 fixes the problem.

    Here are the parameters I used to export the EPUB:
    Book Menu :
    Export Book to EPUB (Reflowable)
    General
    Version : EPUB 2.0.1
    Cover : Rasterize First Page(change later)
    Navigation TOC : Multi Level(TOC Style)
    TOC Style : Table of Contents Style
    Content : Based on Page Layout
    Text
    Option : NOT Remove Forced Line Breaks
    Footnotes : Placement: End of the section(Endnote)
    Lists :
    Bullets : Map to Unordered Lists
    Numbers : Convert to Text
    Object
    DO Preserve Appearance from Layout(for Graphic / Media objects)
    NOT Use existing Image for Graphic Objects
    CSS Size : Relative to Text Flow
    Layout : Align Center
    Space Before : 0 Pixels
    Space After : 0 Pixels
    NOT Insert Page Break
    NOT Ignore Object Export Settings
    Conversion Settings
    Format : Automatic
    Resolution : 300 PPI
    JPEG Format : Baseline
    JPEG Quality : Maximum
    HTML & CSS
    Include classes in HTML
    Generate CSS
    Preserve Local Overrides
    Include Embeddable Fonts

    I have .indd and .epub files from both 15.0.3 and 15.0.2, but I'd rather not publish them to the world. I'd rather you contact me and I'll e-mail you a link to them.

19. Indesign is unusable

    Since the last update Indesign is barely usable. It crashes 10 times a day and with no explanation. Changing fonts, placing objects, updating graphics, all seem to cause it to crash. Suitcase is also causing problems with Adobe fonts which I can't seem to resolve. This is by far the worst update to Indesign that has come out. Forget adding new features, fix the problems with the program first so it is at least usuable.
