1. 'Use Spacing' *STILL* not working for multiple pages using Page Tool

   1. Indesign Beta v 18.9
   2. Turn off Facing pages and deselect 'Allow pages to shuffle'

   • create multiple pages and then 'attach' one to another, by clicking and dragging a page alongside another in the pages panel, until you see the grey 'hook' then release it, so they stick together.

   • Now select multiple pages using the Page tool and the 'Use Spacing' option appears at the top. Type in a number, say, 50mm

   1. Expected result: All pages move 50mm away from each other, and you should be able to attach as many pages together as required for the task

   2. Actual result: everything stays the same, no spacing between 'artboards/pages' is automatically inserted, and you can only attach 10 pages together.

   NOTES:
   • I was hoping this issue was resolved in Beta.

   • I've tried 3 different computers (MacBook Pro M1 Max, iMac 2017 5k, MacBook Pro 15inch 2015) and doesn't work on any of them.

   It's a feature that would save a lot of designers working with Point of sale and event exhibition design, to be able to organise 'artboards/pages' directly in InDesign.

   Thanks

2. swatch / colour display bug IND 19.2 - not all swatches used are appearing in swatch panel

   New update Indesign 19.2 swatches / colours in document not all appearing in swatches panel - you've always been able to easily delete a swatch in indesign and it'll delete everywhere if, for example, you paste something from another document and it brings in a conflicting colour, without having to use "find swatch" (which is great for finding where it's used but not as fast if you don't care where it is).

   Yesterday I noticed not all swatches used are appearing however. A text box I had used a colour background that definitely isn't in swatches. I also noticed one file in RGB didn't have a swatch appearing that was CMYK although I've since noticed it in other files without that conflict (and previously you could always have both CMYK and RGB swatches in a doc).

   Also noticing some line and type display issues, lines exporting different thicknesses despite being set to the same, and text not centred vertically when I always set up my text boxes to autosize and using baseline set to cap height, with vertical justification set to align centre in text frame options, always works, now it's not displaying great when zoomed out, but exports ok, or the other way around, looks ok then exports to jpg mis-aligned. Sometimes on the same page multiple frames set the same way, some will be fine and others slightly out of alignment...

3. Bugs avec Windows 10 Pro

   De nombreux bugs d'utilisation des logiciels Adobe avec Windows 10 Pro (In Design / Illustrator et Photoshop).
   Dans InDesign : les fonds perdus sont ajoutés au PDF lorsqu'ils ne sont pas cochés dans les options d'export du PDF, ce n'est pas normal.
   Création de Nouveau document : les options de nouveau document ne répondent pas (dans l'interface de démarrage du logiciel et dans le logiciel par le menu), même constat dans Illustrator.
   La fenêtre "Format" n'apparaît pas toujours lorsque l'on veut l'afficher par Fichier > Format de documents... Je suis obligée de cliquer sur "Echap", car le logiciel ne répond plus. Très gênant de ne pas pouvoir modifier les formats.
   Merci de trouver des solutions à tous ces bugs présents dans la suite Adobe pour ceux et celles qui comme moi, utilisent Winsdows 10 Pro pour travailler.

4. disappearing text paragraph style

   I am using InDesign 17.4 under macOS 12.6 on an iMac Retina 5K, 27", 2017 with a 3.4 GHz i5, 32GB RAM, and a Radeon Pro 570.

   When I attempt to create a new paragraph style with an active text selection and check 'Apply Style to Selection', any change I make to the new paragraph style, including simply naming the style, renders the text invisible.

   The expected result, of course, would be to have visible text.

   The actual result is invisible text.

   Relaunching ID, restarting the computer, and rebuilding the preferences file all had no effect. The only workaround I have found is to not select the 'Apply Style to Selection' option, create my style, and then apply the style in the document. From there I am able to edit the style without further issue.

5. ID 17 English LTR document with any RTL text exports as RTL epub

   I edited this to remove the urgent notice. The publisher does not want to publish this book as an epub.

   The basic problem remains, however.

   When exporting an epub 3.0 from an academic book written in English with some RTL text sections, typically tables with Hebrew and English text, the epub exports in reverse order. That is, the title page is at the end of the epub, and the last page of the text is the first in the epub. So far it seems that the presence of any RTL elements, even a single character, causes the epub to export as if it were an RTL book.

   17.2.1, 17.1 and 17.0.1 all export the same way.

   The reflowable epub export General tab has the Content -> Order set to "Based on Page Layout". That is the only option available.

   To reproduce, export to reflowable epub a book with a few RTL elements. I created a 50 page 6×9 in. lorem ipsum ID document with three Hebrew words in the first sentence; exporting the file as a reflowable epub results in the first page at the end of the file. Even a single RTL character is sufficient to export with the first page at the end of the epub.

   I cannot attach my .indd test file; it should be be easy enough to create one.

   The attached screen snap shows that the epub page ordering is from right to left.

6. Publish Online Dialog Box is Completely Blanked Out Except Top Border and Minimize X

   While in InDesign CC 2018 (13.0.1 x64) and selecting the "Publish Online" button or drop down menu command, the dialog box that pops up is completely blacked out. The only discernable features are the border and the "X" to close out of the dialog box. When hovering the mouse over the dialog box, it responds in ways that alert you to the fact all the features are still there and active - you just cant see them. The text field curser and the hand with a pointing finger appear at different spots. To see what would happen, I clicked in the box where I suspected the "Publish" button would be and it did actually publish my document online. So everything seems to be working fine except you cannot see what you're selecting. This obviously prevents one from naming a file or selecting various options.

   I spent three hours with support to resolve the issue with no improvement. Support took control of my computer and we went through a lot of steps.
   Upon restarting my computer at one juncture I was disconnected from support and did not re-establish a connection. Here is a list of things we did before that happened.

   • Deleted preferences
   • Signed out and signed back in (a bunch)
   • Deleted Temp Files
   • Uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign
   • Uninstalled "cleaned" and reinstalled InDesign
   • Uninstalled Creative Cloud and all related files, then reinstalled
   • Changed default browser
   • Removed Ad Block
   • Changed some file permissions
   • and a bunch of other things I didn't really understand

   Help.

7. Crash when scaling text beound 1296 pt

   I can repeatably make InDesign crash by:

   1: Creating a big page (Mine is 250x100cm)
   2: Making a textframe and writing a short word (I wrote "café")
   3: Hit "E" and scale the frame by dragging the corners
   4: If I scale the frame so the point size is higher than 1296 pt InDesign will crash.

   I am on InDesign 15.0.2 on MacOS 10.14.6

   CLOSED  ·  AdminSanyam Talwar (Senior Lead Software Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

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

   We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding: Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.

   We recommend you to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2021(v16.0.0.77) as it is more robust and contains a lot of bug fixes.

   We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.

10. Moving Pages calls for use of Absolute Page Number

    1. InDesign 21.0.1 x64 (on Windows 11)
    2. I want to move a page from a document where I have changed the Numbering & Section Options so that the document includes multiple pages with the same page number. I open the document that includes the page I want to move, and open the document which will receive that page. I select a page in the pages panel, right click, and select "Move Page." The Move Pages dialog box appears, and I select the document and location where I want the page to be moved and click OK.
    3. The highlighted page will be copied to the correct location in the destination document.
    4. Instead, I receive an error message asking me to identify the correct page using the absolute page number. In earlier versions of InDesign, if I tried to use the Move Pages dialog box by simply typing in a page number, it would ask me to define the page using the absolute page number, but as long as I had highlighted the page I wanted to move and then activated the Move Page function, InDesign would automatically identify the page I wanted to move without asking me to define the absolute page number.
    5. I have uploaded images of the dialog box and the error message.

11. no correct hyphenation of German words with dashes

    In German we have many terms consisting of two or more words with dashes in between. Everybody would hyphenate these naturally behind the dashes. InDesign is unable to do so, but suggests multiple wrong or ugly hyphenations and leaves the dashes as if they were non-breaking hyphens, which they are not! I know this problem since several years. I had it in CS5 and 6 as well as in every later version and today in InDesign 2020.
    For example: In cookbooks there are often intermediate products consisting of two or more ingredients. Some (artificial) examples:
    Das Mehl mit dem Kakaopulver, dem Backpulver und 1/4 TL Salz mischen und unter das Ei-Butter-Gemisch rühren. Die Mehl-Aprikosen-Flüssigkeit unterrühren. Die Eigelbe wie im Grundrezept beschrieben unter die Butter-Zucker-Mischung rühren. Ein Drittel Eischnee mit dem Mehl-Backpulver-Ansatz unterrühren, dann die restliche Ei-Bananen-Milch mit einem Holzkochlöffel vorsichtig unterheben.
    „Butter-Zucker-Mischung“ everybody would preferably and correctly hyphenate (\) like this: Butter-\Zucker-\Mischung, but InDesign produces only something ugly and devious like But\ter-Zu\cker-Mi\schung and so to speak considers both dashes as non-breaking hyphen. My only solution each time is manual hyphenation or an own entry in the user dictionary. The effort is too much because it happens too often.
    In German you can combine nouns arbitrarily and optionally separate them with dashes, so that the text is more clear and comprehensible. As the given combinations of nouns vary all the time it is an unnacceptable effort to define a hyphenation exception for every one of them in the user dictionary. InDesign just has to acknowledge that hyphenating directly behind the dash(es) is the first choice instead of simply wrong!
    I cannot imagine that a general rule like this would create a problem in other languages and different contexts. Hyphenation directly behind the dash(es) is always by far the most aesthetic solution.
    The problem does not only affect cookbooks. There are millions of possible cases, such as: Stephen-King-Filme, Agatha-Christie-Romane, Freund-Feind-Erkennung, Ein-Aus-Schalter, Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, Tag-Nacht-Schaltung, Willy-Brandt-Allee (along with thousands of other street names), Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität …

12. "Copy Links To" option in the Links panel does not flag as a change in the document.

    Therefore, InDesign does not prompt to save the change and the document continues to link to the previous location if closed. I was able to reproduce this problem on MacOS High Sierra and Windows 10 with both InDesign CC 2017 and 2018.

13. line break between XML elements not behaving as expected

    I have some XML in this format:

    <ROOT><DOCUMENT>
    <CHAPTER>Chapter One</CHAPTER>
    <CONTENT>This is what happened in Chapter 1.</CONTENT>
    <CHAPTER>Chapter Two</CHAPTER>
    <CONTENT>This is what happened in Chapter 2.</CONTENT>
    </DOCUMENT></ROOT>

    I have a pre-tagged template where the <CHAPTER> tag maps to a paragraph style with Keep Options, start paragraph=Next page (i.e., every new chapter should start on a new page). The <CONTENT> tag maps to a basic paragraph style, and <ROOT> and <DOCUMENT> are not mapped.

    Notice there is a line break in the XML after <DOCUMENT>.

    After importing, the result is that page 1 appears blank (because of the line break) and Chapter One starts on page 2. If I go into the story editor and remove the line break so it looks like <DOCUMENT><CHAPTER>, it fixes the display so Chapter One starts on page 1.

    To replicate, import the test XML into the test template, both found here:
    https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xB39ObvHsGSQVviq1d-H0QkZ1Dk65sRQ?usp=sharing

    I had asked in the forums if there was a solution for removing this line break automatically, either with XSLT or a script in InDesign (we are not able to change the original XML output),. I was told it might be a bug -- unexpected behavior with a return that is outside of the content that it should be placing.

    I have some XML in this format:

    <ROOT><DOCUMENT>
    <CHAPTER>Chapter One</CHAPTER>
    <CONTENT>This is what happened in Chapter 1.</CONTENT>
    <CHAPTER>Chapter Two</CHAPTER>
    <CONTENT>This is what happened in Chapter 2.</CONTENT>
    </DOCUMENT></ROOT>

    I have a pre-tagged template where the <CHAPTER> tag maps to a paragraph style with Keep Options, start paragraph=Next page (i.e., every new chapter should start on a new page). The <CONTENT> tag maps to a basic paragraph style, and <ROOT> and <DOCUMENT> are not mapped.

14. BUG with master text frames, master pages and "allow pages to shuffle"

    Hello,

    Latest Indesign CC on Windows 10 64bits.

    I have a document, with a master page template applied to all pages in the document. There are master text frames inside the master page template, perfectly aligned with the margins on each left, and right page. In my master page template, I have set up the following margins for left pages :

    top : 46pt
    bottom : 46pt
    outside : 56pt
    inside : 46pt

    And the right pages margins set up as follow :

    top : 46pt
    bottom : 46pt
    outside : 46pt
    inside : 46pt

    On the left pages, I have a solid holding the current category / section, so I have set a larger outside margin.

    Everything looks good and aligned (text boxes are controled by master pages master text frames) until I delete one page for example, which makes every following right page, a left page, and every left page, a right page.

    From this point, in my pages, all text boxes are misaligned to the margins set in the master page template. That is to say that from now on, left pages have text boxes which are the size of right pages text boxes, and right pages text boxes have the size of left pages text boxes.

    To fix it, I have to select all my pages, and reapply my master page template to update the text boxes to match the master page's master text frames.

    Then, the text frames are finally properly aligned to the margins set in the master page template.

    I don't think this is how it should behave. Master text frames should always be synchronized to the master page templates and should not have to be reapplied manually...

    I might be using this wrong but I can't figure out an auto fix, and this gets really annoying when you have to fine tune your document, remove some elements, which can makes me delete some pages, which causes this issue.

    Any fix ? What about a option to make indesign aware when right pages become left pages, and left pages become right pages, and reapply automatically the master page template to adapt to those changes ?

    Am I alone with this issue ?

    Thank you

    Hello,

    Latest Indesign CC on Windows 10 64bits.

    I have a document, with a master page template applied to all pages in the document. There are master text frames inside the master page template, perfectly aligned with the margins on each left, and right page. In my master page template, I have set up the following margins for left pages :

    top : 46pt
    bottom : 46pt
    outside : 56pt
    inside : 46pt

    And the right pages margins set up as follow :

    top : 46pt
    bottom : 46pt
    outside : 46pt
    inside : 46pt

    On the left pages, I… more

15. 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
    
    };
    
    };

16. Window Management Not Apple/MacOS Standard

    The window management across all adobe apps but most of all inDesign is buggy and not the correct apple standard. You can see its not inline with other apps and the native resizing tools by looking at the edges of the application and the rounded corners.

    Window management tools do not work with inDesign as it resizes it self. Grabbing edges is extremely difficult and usability is bad. Traffic lights tend to move down to about 3/4 into the document or disappear all together.

17. Duplicating Page with table and copy/pasting a table changes content of table BUG?

    Version: 14.0.2

    I have a table that represents a linear calendar. Each month occupies a single row. I created a table to make the calendar, with each date in its own cell. I had some trouble figuring out how to make a new cell start at 1 for each month, as it wanted to continue from the last month's last date (...32, 33, 34, ...). I managed to make it work by changing the numbering options on each individual starting cell.

    However, now when I try to duplicate a page containing the calendar, or if I try to copy/paste the calendar, the individual cell's formatting seems to disappear, as the numbering on half of them continue from the numbering on the previous row.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Make a table with enough rows and columns to reproduce the consecutive numbering (For the months, most of my rows are 1-30) The columns represent the weekdays, repeating as many times as needed for the staggered dates.
    2. Select a cell in row 2 and add a blank character. I used 'End Nested Style Here' character per instructions from another InDesign user: Type>Insert Special Character>Other>End nested
    3. With cursor in cell, open Bullets and Numbering dialog. Select Number, put ^# in Number box, and Continue from Previous in Mode box. I also made sure the greyed-out box next to it said 1 (seemed to make a difference when I changed numbers). Then click OK.
    4. Follow the same procedure in a random cell on the next row, except in the Bullets and Numbering dialog you will this time choose a new list in the List dropdown.
    5. Repeat for all rows. Because I'm creating a calendar, the number list (1-30) staggers.
    6. Once the table is full, copy and paste it onto a new page. Then copy the entire page. For me, both produced the same result. 1, 2, 3,... was replaced with 31,32,33,... or 32, 33, 34... on some rows.

    See screenshots for comparison.

18. Balance Columns leads to severe performance issues

    Whenever I have longer text documents with multiple columns I want to use "Balance Columns" to make it, well, better.

    However, whenever I start using Balance Columns in my documents I always run into severe performance issues.

    Example: Right now I have a document of ~100 pages (one text flow). I have not enabled "Balance Columns" on all pages due to performance (and the fact that another bug prevents you from doing this from the master page), so I have manually enabled it on a page-by-page basis for pages I feel need it (I'd much rather just turn it on for the whole flow).

    On many of the pages where the frame is using "balance columns" it is literally laggy to type text into the text box - even if the changes are so minor it shouldn't make other pages reflow, yet it feels like it's reflowing all 100 pages for each letter i type... Temporarily turning off "balance columns" while making text changes makes it responsive (but then I don't see the end result).

    Attempting to import PDF comments, and just clicking "accept" on simple single-word replacements were so slow on "balance column" pages that it the PDF comments panel literally started to bug out (not correctly updating comments to "accepted" after accepting). Again, even if the changes are so small they should not affect any other pages. And balancing two columns on one page should effectively be instant, not take several seconds for every text edit.

    There is something bad going on with "balance columns" performance-wise (at least for longer documents) and you need to have a closer look at it. I don't know what's causing it. Is it footnotes? Keep Options? I don't have time to troubleshoot.

    Ps: Adobe FrameMaker don't even blink when we have 500-page documents with balanced columns and make major edits to the text causing everything to move. So it should be possible to make "balance columns" responsive.

    Whenever I have longer text documents with multiple columns I want to use "Balance Columns" to make it, well, better.

    However, whenever I start using Balance Columns in my documents I always run into severe performance issues.

19. InDesign 2026 cursor scaling problem

    Subject: Cursor remains extremely small on 27-inch 4K monitor despite all available scaling settings

    I would like to report a HiDPI scaling issue in Adobe InDesign 2026 that affects usability on professional 4K monitors.

    My setup consists of two displays connected to the same Windows PC:

    • ASUS ProArt PA279CRV – 27-inch, 3840 × 2160 (4K)
    • KOORUI 27-inch – 1920 × 1080 (Full HD)

    When InDesign is displayed on the KOORUI Full HD monitor, the text cursor (insertion point) appears at a normal and comfortable size. However, when I move the exact same InDesign window to the ASUS ProArt PA279CRV 4K monitor, the cursor becomes extremely small and difficult to see.

    I have already tested all available scaling-related options without success:

    • Windows display scaling at multiple values, including 100%, 125%, 150%, 175%, 200%, and higher available settings.
    • InDesign Preferences → User Interface Scaling → UI Sizing set to Large.

    • Windows Compatibility settings:

      • Application
      • System
      • System (Enhanced)

    • Restarting InDesign after each change.

    None of these settings significantly improve the cursor size on the 4K display.

    It is important to note that the Windows cursor itself scales correctly and remains clearly visible throughout the operating system. The issue appears to be specific to InDesign’s text insertion cursor. The behavior can be reproduced instantly by simply moving the InDesign window from the Full HD monitor to the 4K monitor, without changing any other settings. This indicates that the problem is related to how InDesign handles HiDPI scaling on 4K displays.

    Because both monitors are 27 inches, the physical size difference is not caused by screen size but by the much higher pixel density of the 4K display. As a result, the insertion cursor becomes disproportionately small compared to the rest of the interface.

    I would also like to emphasize that reducing the monitor resolution is not an acceptable workaround. I specifically purchased the ASUS ProArt PA279CRV for professional graphic design, catalog production, image editing, and color-critical work at its native 3840 × 2160 resolution. Lowering the resolution defeats the purpose of using a professional 4K monitor.

    I kindly request that Adobe review and improve the scaling behavior of the text insertion cursor in InDesign on HiDPI and 4K displays, or provide a dedicated option to independently adjust cursor thickness and visibility.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

20. InDesign 2025 (v20.3.1) freezes when interacting with modal dialog panels on macOS 15.5 (Sequoia)

    Hi Adobe team,

    I’m experiencing repeated, non-reproducible hangs in InDesign 2025 (v20.3.1) when interacting with certain modal dialog panels — such as Panel Options, Color Panel settings, and similar. This occurs on macOS 15.5 (Sequoia). After clicking inside one of these dialogs, InDesign sporadically becomes unresponsive (beachball), requiring a force quit via “Force Quit Applications.”

    The issue existed before a complete clean install of macOS and continues to occur even after the fresh system setup with no migration or prior settings carried over.

    Here are the key system details:
    • macOS version: 15.5 (24F74) – Developer Beta (Sequoia)
    • Mac model: MacBook Pro 16” M1 Max, 64 GB RAM
    • Displays: Dual Apple Studio Displays
    • InDesign version: 20.3.1 (latest Creative Cloud release as of June 2025)
    • No plugins installed
    • Font manager: RightFont (fonts synced via Dropbox folder, no Adobe plugin)
    • User environment: Freshly created custom workspaces
    • Documents: Problem occurs even with new, blank files
    • macOS was clean-installed from scratch before testing

    The hangs are unpredictable and extremely disruptive — multiple times a day — making productive work almost impossible. It’s incredibly frustrating to deal with such instability in basic UI operations like opening panel dialogs.

    Attached is a .hang report from macOS, which shows the InDesign main thread stalling in:
    UI::ModalDialogManager::RunModalLoop()
    BscModalDialog::DoModal()
    ControlPanel::ShowOptionsDialog()

    Other threads remain idle, indicating a UI-level deadlock — likely caused by a modal dialog waiting on OS-level window interaction that never completes.

    This seems related to changes in macOS 15’s window or dialog behavior, potentially affecting how InDesign renders or processes modal components.

    I understand Sequoia is still in beta, but since the issue exists in InDesign’s current public release (20.3.1) and is severe enough to disrupt daily work, I wanted to report it early.

    Please let me know if you’d like additional crash/hang logs or screen recordings — happy to assist further.

    Thanks,
    Marc

    PS: This technical explanation and hang report interpretation were created with the help of ChatGPT, since I’m not a developer myself — just a professional user trying to get work done with InDesign.
