  1. 'manage extensions' not in 'help' dropdown

    The extensions option is not showing in the "help" menu. When I go to the Help Menu there is no "Manage Extensions" option. Please provide troubleshooting steps as I need to load a local extension into inDesign. I also looked in the "Window" menu and found nothing.: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/46364836-extensions-option-not-showing-in-window-menu

  2. image box not working

    When drawing image frame, the option to link an image no longer appears. Can only insert images in the document by using Place option from menu drop down. There should be a button that shows when I draw an image box that gives me option to link in a image from files- a new image or relink an image. Neither of these is available.

  7. Right swiping a hyperlink and then right clicking produces inconsistent context menu

    Hi there,

    If I have a hyperlink as plain text and then highlight it, then right-click the area, I sometimes get an option to turn it into a hyperlink and other times I get the spell checker menu with not such option.

    It would be good if the option to turn text into a hyperlink was always visible when you right-clicked highlighted text. I have dynamic spell checking turned on.

    Kind regards
    Mike H

  9. "Suppress Text Wrap When Layer Is Hidden" not working

    InDesign CC most current version 18.5
    1. Add text frame
    2. Add overlapping object
    3. Add text wrap to object
    4. Set layer option to "Suppress Text Wrap When Layer Is Hidden"
    - Expect that text wrap will be suppressed when I hide the object layer that has text wrap applied
    - Text wrap is still applied when the object layer is hidden, whether applying the layer option first or last, creating a new document and starting over, or trying each text wrap option

  11. use file name

    Last week when I exported to PDF a tick box was available to use the file name.
    This week I don't have that option - (and INDD is newly updated.)
    a) the option was useful
    b) is this a local problem or was it removed on purpose?

    running under win7
    thanks

  12. Shared Documents - Make Available Offline Always

    For documents I create and that appear under the "Your Files" section, I see that I can choose the "Make Available Offline Always" option. However, for documents that have been shared with me and appear under "Shared With You," I don't see this option.

    Will this option be available for shared documents in the near-future?

    It's a critical need for my team since our workflow sometimes includes starting a project that has to be handed off to someone else for completion. Having the ability to work offline as the starting lead OR as the finishing lead ensures we can safely…

  17. Placement cropping set to "Art" when relinking an Indd file to a pdf

    1. A bug in Indesign 13.0.1. Mac OSX

    2. Place an Indd document inside one.
      Relink all instances of said link to a pdf file created from the linked Indd file.
      The placement option changes to "Art" regardless of what has been the last option set when placing pdf:s.

    3. Expected to the pdf's retain cropping to media as is the case with Indd files OR retain cropping from last set option in the Place pdf dialog.

    4. Pdfs cropped to "Art".
