1. Appliquer des gabarit à des pages selon des conditions

   Bonjour, après de longues recherches, je remarque qu'il n'y a aucune possibilité d'appliquer des gabarits selon des règles (présence de texte, grep, présence d'image, pourcentage du bloc de texte rempli, présence d'un style, etc.) à des pages spécifiques (à la première/dernière page, entre certaines pages, fonctionnement similaire au grep, etc.). On pourrait réaliser cela en donnant plusieurs gabarits à une page et donner des règles pour choisir lequel appliquer (avec une option pour choisir les pages de manière dynamique).
   Pour ma part, je cherche désespérément un moyen dynamique et automatisé de cacher le folio/numéro de page lorsque que c'est une page vide (sans texte) ou quasi vide. C'est le cas des pages avant les chapitres (1 ou 2 pages). Ce pourrait être l'une des nombreuses application de cette fonctionnalité

2. Alignment of text box ignores anchored objects

   When I have an anchored object (lets say an image) hanging at the bottom of the text box, aligning the text to the bottom of the text box will align the text only, and cuts off the image at the bottom.
   I imagine this also happens to images at the top of the text box, when aligning to the top.
   I think that by design, anchired objects should be calculated as part of the text box's content, and should be aligned to the bottom, as text would.
   If not, it should at least be an option to choose from.

   Thank you!

3. Placing MS Word documents

   Hi,

   I am designing a Journal in InDesign with over 50 articles. All the articles are done with MS Word with footnotes etc. After placing about 45 articles I found that in some placed articles the fonts have changed in certain pragraphs. Since I noticed this at the tail end, I did some experiments and placed the next article with the option "Redefine InDesign style" selected and the exact fonts were placed. But to my surprise there are 90 errors in the already placed 45 articles.

   How come InDesign change the structure of the previous 45 articles when I am placing the 46th Article?

   How can I avoid this?

4. ePub

   I create very simple ePubs in Indesign CC 2018. When I export them as ePub version 3 they print perfectly from Adobe Digital Editions on a Mac but print as blank pages or spool to postscript indefinitely from Adobe Digital Editions, on a PC, in Windows. When exported in the older version ePub 2.01 they work and print fine on both Mac and Windows. So my question is: why is ePub version 3 an option from Indesign when it isn't fully supported in Adobe Digital Editions on the Windows platform most popular with the user base? Is there a solution/workaround other than reverting to version 2.01?

5. provide tool to manage external cross-references

   I am responsible for maintaining and updating a long manual with many cross-references. Most of these cross-references are internal to the book collection, but a significant minority reference specific sections in other books that make up the manual or specific sections in other reference documents external to my organization. The ability to use the cross-reference tools to manage internal cross-references is a godsend. Manually tracking external cross-references, however, is extremely tedious and mistake-prone. Obviously it would not be possible to provide hyperlinks or automatic updating for external cross-references. However, I would still like a way to keep track of them in InDesign.

   I would love for InDesign to provide the following workflow for managing external cross-references:
   1. Provide a way to mark text strings as external cross-references. This could either be within the existing Insert Cross-Reference tool or a separate new tool. Ideally there would be an option to add metadata, such as the title and edition of the external document being referenced.
   2. Provide a way to export an external cross-reference report as .CSV or other table format. This table would list each text string marked as an external cross reference, along with the page number where it appears in the InDesign document and any other metadata defined for that record.
   3. Provide an option to toggle on and off highlighting of text marked as external cross references in InDesign.

6. Stripped down workspace when opening document

   1. Using 17.1 x64 on a Windows 10 machine
   2. When InDesign is closed, if I double click on a file to open it, the program opens with a minimal workspace; no panels, no toolbar at the top of the screen, nothing. If I open the program first, and then open a file (either through the file menu, or by doubleclicking on the icon in File Explorer, the program opens with my correct workspace.
   3. Opening the program, no matter how I access it, should open with my selected workspace.
   4. It opens without any panels, toolbars or the option to change to a different workspace.
   5. I have provided a screen shot of the screen after opening a file by double-clicking, and another one with my normal workspace after opening a different file using the file menu.

7. Issues with document previewing since installing InDesign update (16.2.1)

   Hi, I'm operating a late 2013 27-inch iMac with 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5 processor. Currently running MacOS Mojave 10.14.6

   Since installing the latest InDesign update (16.2.1) I've experienced various document preview issues:
   - images that are contained within circular or other non straight-edged image boxes are not displaying at all.
   - I get either a black box displaying or no box/frame at all. The frame is there because when I hit Select All I can see it but the image simply won't display at all, whatever the Appearance setting is on.
   - However, if I create a JPEG or PDF from the document, the image appears in the PDF or JPEG OK.
   - Also issues with items displaying properly (or at all) when moving between zoom-in/zoom-out settings.

   After posting my experiences on an Adobe User forum I was advised to uncheck the GPU Preview option in InDesign Preferences panel and this has resolved the problems.

8. Bloc de texte

   Ma version de InDesign : 18.0 x64

   Ce n'est pas une idée mais je rencontre un bogue. La question est : comment régler ce bogue ?
   Voici la situation :
   1) je crée un bloc de texte. Je peux taper un texte à l'intérieur.
   2) J'appuie sur la touche ESC pour sélectionner le bloc
   3) Le bloc crée alors automatiquement un retrait du texte à l'intérieur. Ce retrait, je l'avais créé auparavant mais il semble qu'il se soit bloqué et que maintenant, tout nouveau bloc de texte se crée avec ce retrait de texte.
   4) J'ouvre Objet/Option de bloc de texte / Général. Je constate effectivement que les "marges à l'intérieur du bloc" sont fixées à 2. Je les remets à zéro.
   5) Je vérifie que le "dimensionnement automatique" est désactivé.
   6) Mon bloc est maintenant OK. Mais, quoi que je fasse, tout nouveau bloc créé se présentera de nouveau avec des marges à l'intérieur du bloc réglées à 2 au lieu de zéro. J'ai fermé InDesign pour le ré-ouvrir : cela ne change rien !
   Merci de votre aide.

9. suggest an idea

   InDesign would benefit from an option that allows Apply Next Style (or a Paragraph Style setting) to automatically detect the final paragraph in a contiguous sequence and then apply an alternate “last paragraph” style. This is especially useful for designs where a repeated list uses a separator — for example, in a “Materials and Tools” box where each item has a rule below, but the final item should appear without the rule.

   At present, this requires manually applying a separate “last item” style to the final paragraph every time such a box is created. Giving InDesign the ability to recognise the final paragraph and switch to a defined alternate style would greatly reduce manual intervention, avoid errors in long documents, and streamline book production workflows.

10. There is a chance you close your file without knowing you have not saved it!

    It is very simple, just follow the steps below:

    1. Create a new file.

    2. Type a letter (lets say "A" for example) and save your file.

    3. Change the letter to "B" [Notice the "*" beside the file name and the "Save" Option being enabled in the file menu, since the file has been changed]

    4. Save the file again. ["Save" command and "*" disappear]

    5. Now, undo the last change (Back to "A") and save.

    6. Now if you redo the change, you will have "B" in the screen, Notice that the file has changed since your last save, but you neither see the "* nor have "Save" command enabled.

    InDesign simply acts like you have saved the file, and it is current, you may easily close your file and lose your progress. This may not be important for small changes but could be a disaster if the number of steps taken are high, which has happened to me once.

11. Ellipses not found by Find/Replace

    Version of Adobe InDesign
    14.0.2 x64

    Steps to reproduce the issues
    1. Placed a Word document. Reformatted etc - lots of work done.
    2. Tried to Find/Replace all ellipses to ensure they have a Thin Space before and after. InDesign Find/Replace finds no ellipses (but I am looking at them, having already replaced three periods with ellipses throughout the document).
    3. Tested in a new document - problem does not occur there. But it does if I paste the text from the previous document in.
    4. Tried exporting to IDML and re-opening to remove any corruption. This made no difference.
    5. Tried Find/replace with [None] as Character Style - miraculously ID now finds the ellipses.

    Expected result
    ID finds ellipses when searching for them!

    Actual result
    ID can't find them unless Character Style [None] is also searched for (in Format).

    Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)
    2x screenshots available - N.B. the first one shows both an ellipsis and one which is just three dots ...

12. Improve/Simplify Gradient and Gradient Feather tools

    Why is it so hard to create a simple Colour to Transparent gradient in InDesign? Why can’t we select 'None' in Gradients instead of having to revert to the Gradient Feather Tool to do the same job? And even then it’s difficult to change the colours because you can’t simply just drop an alternative colour swatch onto the Effect.

    Unlike Illustrator, in Gradient Feather, you cannot click on a selected colour in the slider to access your colour palette to change the colour. In fact, you cannot even edit the colour selection. 2 Tools, 2 ways of creating a gradient - Can we not just combine into the one tool? Or allow the Gradient to select ‘None' as a colour option? Currently it’s so convoluted and time consuming.

13. Dictionaries, specifically German

    The german dictionary in ID is weird. Many common german words it would mark as unknown, but the suggestions show a lot of rarely used ones. Well, when adding words to the dictionary, it can be confusing for the grammar checker to distinguish between verbs, adjectives and nouns if there is no definition for the word type. So, at least for German, but perhaps generally, give the user the option to define if the added word is a noun, adjective or verb.

    Example for confusion: "brücken". This is a verb ("brücken" -> to bridge), but also the plural of "Brücke" (bridge), but with lowercase. The grammar checker would suggest to capitalize the word when it's meant to be a verb. I would then define it once as verb in lowercase and once as noun with capital letter in the dictionary.

15. Freeze after using default New Hyperlink to URL

    (I didn't see a category for Freeze. I figure Crash is pretty close.)

    In InDesign 15.0.3 on Windows 10:

    I had just finished inserting a hyperlink by selecting Chess.com, bringing up the New Hyperlink panel (with the 'To URL' option up), and pressing Enter.
    After waiting 15 minutes, it was still hung.
    It was the only app running.
    When I right-clicked on the InDesign icon on the taskbar and clicked 'Close window', a dialog box popped up saying, "Save changes to the Adobe InDesign document "16 - Glossary.indd" before closing?
    I clicked 'Yes'.
    It closed that dialog box and popped up with an alert saying, "Cannot save "16 - Glossary.indd".
    Repeated twice. Same results.
    Then I clicked 'No'.
    It closed out the document, then the "Save changes box popped up again."
    When I clicked 'Yes' there, InDesign closed down.

    When I launched InDesign again, it pretended it had loaded my standard workspace ("David's"), but hadn't. It didn't load it until I chose Windows > Workspace > Reset David's.

    The problem did not reproduce.

    Closed: Not Reproducible  ·  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.

16. InDesign 20.0 neihter packaging next to the source file nor replacing images from the original folder

    i'm suffering from a weird problem: nothing wants to use the original folder except the export command. When i try to replace an image the program navigates me to the last used folder unless i've chosen the Original folder option in the Preferences under File Handling menu. Same issue when i try to package a document.

    I've tried to delete all the preferences. ALL of them. I've emptied all the cache. ALL. Uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign: the newly installed app tried to package into the last used folder (!?). The Preferences>File Handling> Default Relink folder menu does nothing. I can switch it but nothing happens...

    Same issue with other apps (Illustrator, PS, etc.).

17. Generic check mark reappears in PDF check box after exporting to Acrobat Pro

    InDesign 14.0.2 and Acrobat Continuous 2019.10.20099

    This issue is about the behavior and appearance of interactive check boxes in documents that have been exported to Interactive PDFs.

    There is a difference in the way that check boxes created in InDesign behave and appear versus those created in Acrobat Pro. The Acrobat Pro Forms preferences are involved in this difference.

    When, in Acrobat Pro Forms Preferences, under Highlight Color, the “Show border hover color for fields” option is selected, check boxes created in InDesign behave and appear in the following manner.

    When a check box is made active, it first appears the same as the check box that was created in InDesign. When you tab to or select another check box, or when you save the selection in the PDF, the appearance of the check box reverts to a default generic check mark.

    When, in Acrobat Pro Forms Preferences, under Highlight Color, the “Show border hover color for fields” option is not selected, check boxes created in InDesign behave and appear in the following manner.

    When a check box is made active, it first appears the same as the check box that was created in InDesign and remains as such.

    This degrades the purpose of using the highlighted fields, which is to call attention to fields that need to be filled.

    When the check boxes are created in Acrobat, it makes no difference in appearance or behavior if the “Show border hover color for fields” is selected or not. They always appear as the checkbox style you have chosen to use. They do not revert to a generic check mark.

    This is the way that custom check boxes created in InDesign should behave. Thus, they would allow the use of a highlighted field without the appearance of the “selected” custom graphic changing to an unwanted generic graphic.

    Please refer to the InDesign Forums message at this link for examples:

18. Bug: overwriting embedded objects with not embedded ones keeps them imbedded

    Indesign CC 2022, v17.
    Steps to reproduce :
    1. open two documents which have the same linked file (image) embedded
    2. edit the image outside of ID.
    3. relink the file in one of two documents, so it becomes unembedded
    4. copy the unembedded file to the other document, overwriting the same, but still embedded object/image.

    Exprect result: the object in the target document should not be embedded anymore and it should be up-to-date.

    What happens: depending on how the files is placed (inside a table cell or not) ID will only mark it as "it has been changed" by the yellow triangle or overwrite, but keep it embedded. If it shows the yellow triangle and since it's considered as embedded by ID, it cannot be updated (update button locked), which keeps the yellow triangle showing and overlaying the symbol for embedded objects so you don't know whether it's still embedded or not, until you right-click and find the "Unembed file" option.

    Note: this doesn't happen in 14.0.3.

19. 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.

20. Packaging with Include PDF (Print) selected doesn't properly render .ai images

    I have never been able to successfully use the "Include PDF" option when packaging files. I usually package, then export the pdf using my presets, then combine the files in the finder because the pdfs never come out correctly. It seems the problem is only with how it renders ai files. Color mode doesn't matter. The same thing happens whether or not I choose High Quality Print, Press Quality, PDFx1a, etc. Any solutions for this yet? It has been the case since the "Include PDF" feature was first released.  Example has exported pdf on the left, and package generated pdf on the right. Screenshots of preflights show the pdf exported using package files shows all .ai files are now low res vectors using exact same preset. Using Adobe Indesign 18.5 but have had this problem in every version since the "include pdf" feature was released.
