Checkbox - sample button changes design
Interactive form (made in Indesign, not Acrobat, as I don't wanted to mix!) - I wanted an option box (checkbox) to have a cross instead of a circle. The only option was to take a "sample button" from the menu. I choose the option box with a cross (R10) and integrated it in the form. After exporting to Acrobat, firstly there was a cross when I clicked on the box. But when I was going onto another step (next box, print file, etc.) the cross was changed in a circle again. There was no possibility to keep the cross in…

OpenAsset extension in ID 2020 for Mac
I installed the OpenAsset extension in my InDesign 2020 on a Mac running OS Catalina. My Exchange says that I should be able to launch it from Windows > Extensions > OpenAsset. There is no Windows menu option; under the Window option there is no Extensions submenu anymore.
Please advise. I use this extension extensively with work.
Thanks,

No SEO capabilities when publishing online.
If you could add SEO capabilities to Interactive PDFs when using the "publish online..." option in InDesign that would be wonderful.

[ID-4256670]InDesign crashes while navigating through Parent Pages in Pages Panel
InDesign 20.0
Click on the first parent page in the panel and use option + page down to navigate. When you reach a parent page that is not used in the document, you can go no further.
Click the last parent in the panel and use option + page up to navigate. Either the selection jumps to the first parent page in the panel or InDesign crashes.
1 voteThe fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2025(v20.0.1.032). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.
If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application click on the context menu on the top right, and click on Check for App Updates.

Change of indesign behaviour regarding form elements - problems of non printing elements
Indesign Version 15.12x64 Windows
I opened an old document (paper registration/order form) and suddenly became aware that something has happened.
A lot of input fields was visible - in the old version i did never see tham in this view.
But this was not the problem.
The problem was, that if I converted the cocument to PDF with the STANDARD PRINT preset , all boxes were gone.
After some investigation i found out, that those have been converted to intaractive elements also without my knowledge.
Only after i changed the option "INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS" the very last option on the PDF…

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…

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 -

Unable to resize textbox from bottom
The Open Type option prevents us to resize the box from the bottom, which is annoying. Please move it slightly off-center. Thank you.
