InDesign 14.02 NOT PRINTING
Adobe InDesign 14.02
Only prints a solid line at the top of the page.
No text, diagrams, etc being printed.
When I try exporting to pdf, views OK on screen, but only blank pages will print.(Also, when I tried reverting to previous version, got message saying could not be done because file too complex or similar. Will try this option again, because I have GOT TO PRINT my files
1 voteDeleting all files spooled in the C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS folder and reinstalling the print driver helped resolve the issue.

story direction missing indesign 19.2
I don’t know how, but I activated story direction right to left when i created a frame with columns. I went crazy to disable it, so i found that there is an option which is missing in my indesign version (19.2. italian language). Is there a way or a keyboard shortcut to fix it? Thanks for your help

Indesign 2024 keeps opening!
I use both Indesign 2023 and Indesign 2024 on MacOS Monterey. I already changed the Indesign files option to "open with Indesign 2023". But whenever I try to open an Indesign file both Indesign 2023 and 2024 open. I want to open the file with Indesign 2023. Even if 2023 is already opened it still opens Indesign cc2024 too. How do I stop 2024 doing that?

Ability to Add more than One Page at a Time
I have a "large" technical textbook, in my case 20 chapters and at least 22 indd files, if I wnt to add a page or two to an existing chapter, each time I click the new page icon, it takes a while for InDesign to reassess page and section numbers. Ten clicks of "new page later", it rather timeconsuming.
How about an option, similar to adding rows/columns to a table, that allows you to specifiy how many pages you would like to add?
At the moment, adding 10 pages means watching it update section numbers 10 times.
Kind regards
Mike…1 voteYou can use the ‘Insert Pages…’ option from the Pages panel flyout menu to add many pages at once. You can also specify where you want to add those pages.
Does this work for you?

AI alt text sould NOT be on by default
Gross decision to have this "feature" on by default. Good thing I didn't miss the popup on startup, I NEVER want any AI features at all ever, let alone to have to OPT OUT? Madness. Also ridiculous is the option to turn off the the "AI generated content" tag on this "feature" at all. Why would you allow that? I guess it's in line with all of the untagged AI on Adobe Stock lol.

Endnote numbers superscripted overriden after Epub Export
After importing a document with the non-static text endnotes option, I applied a superscript character style to the endnote numbers and when I export to ePub 3.0 the superscripting disappears. The numbers references in the text are still superscripted as they should be, but the superscripting on the numbers before each endnote at the end of document has been dropped. For some reason Epub Export overrides the applied character style.

change/find resets
When using change/find option, the behavior is typically that the search will cycle to the next instance of the found text, however, in 19.3 on a MAC running Ventura 13.7.2 (22H313), the search will find one instance, then grey out the change/find button and not continue to the next instance -- even though other instances of the text exist.

Open Type Fractions are Broken
The last several weeks I've not been able to create fractions via Open Type text alternates even though it's set to do that in advanced type preferences and it's not giving me a dropdown option when the fraction is selected as it used to. It also doesn't work via the character window route. I'm using the most up to date CC InDesign 2021.

Content-Aware Fit-Problem with INDD CC2019, 14.0.1
I had images to link again after receiving a layout from a customer. In some cases, I had massive changes, different sections of images, with the new option activated. I'm not shure about the reason, but if I don't activate the automatic fit, the picture sections are correct in the same layout with the same images.All the best

Enable subfolder searching for missing links
Enable subfolder searching for missing links
Please implement an option for InDesign to automatically search subfolders when trying to relink missing files. Currently, when linked files are reorganized into subfolders, InDesign requires manual navigation to reconnect them, even when they're in obvious locations relative to the original path. A smart subfolder search would save significant time when managing complex projects with many linked assets and reduce frustration during file organization changes.

Failed to connect to Acrobat DDE server
- Latest Indesign with latest Acrobat running on Windows 10 (1709)
- When exporting a PDF with activated option "Open PDF after export" and with Acrobat being already open with a document (but only in display mode and no dialogue window open), it would sometimes not open the PDF in Acrobat, but after a while show an error popup saying it failed to connect to Acrobat DDE server. I never had this in former versions of Indesign and Acrobat.

recent files
Recently opened files are not shown on the home page after opening InDesign. The item in menu is also gone, so I cannot access them from the menu anymore. I tried to change the settings in Preferences > File handling, but the option to changed the number of files I would like to see in recent files is greyed out, so I can't change it.

Can't create snap to baseline style
I just paid for and downloaded ID 17.2.1 after using cs6 and need to meet a deadline for a four page newsletter. I can't seem to find any buttons whatsoever that allow me to create a body style with the text snapping to the baseline. My text is all over the shop. Did I just do a faulty download, or am I missing something? Where is the option for baseline snapping or not snapping?
1 voteAlign to Baseline Grid option is available in the Paragraph panel.
It is also available in the Paragraph Style dialog under the Indents and Spacing section - Align to Grid.
Hope you find this useful.

text wrap violates indented text next to it
[InDesign 16.2.1 x63/Windows 10 Enterprise ]
When text with bullets sits next to a (separate) text frame that has a wrap applied, the text after the bullet doesn't align correctly.
I tried to upload a file (both by dragging or clicking) and neither option allows me to attach the file. "The following file type [filename.indd] is not supported."
An earlier bug report for the same problem had a response indicating that the issue has been fixed. It has not been fixed.
Fortunately, you can move the tab marker on the affected lines to override the bug, but that's really not…1 vote -
InDesign (16.2.1) Keyboard shortcuts stop working after mac goes to sleep
If my Macbook Air M1 goes to sleep with InDesign running, on waking the keyboard shortcuts no longer work (Space to drag, Option to duplicate etc). The only way to restore the functions is to reboot, after which it's fine again until it goes to sleep again.
Has anyone managed to find a fix for this? Resetting the preferences makes no difference and it's not a 3rd party software either, I've tested both possibilities and the fault still remains.

InDesign online help lacks an important point (bug in help text, not in the app)
You should mention in the online help text at https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/frames-objects.html#object_export_options_cc_cs6_cs5_5 that a vector object's alt text will not be included in the epub file unless you also set the export settings to rasterize the object. (Basically: you can't include a vector object to an epub file in a vector format. Not even it's alt text.)

Koreans have to press the spacebar twice when using InDesign
When typing Korean in InDesign, you need to press the spacebar twice.If you've ever used InDesign in Korean, you'll find this kind of work is very annoying. This issue did not appear in CS6 and earlier versions of CC. So, for Koreans who use InDesign, the InDesign CC version is a disaster.
This problem cannot be solved by using any option in InDesign, and Koreans are using unverified sub software to solve this problem. And many Koreans are wondering why InDesign is a step backwards from the previous version and doesn't solve even these basic problems.
It seems it's been…
