1. Right-to-left paragraph orientation causes problems

   Hello and thanks in advance to the respondents.
   For several months now I have been suffering from a very annoying problem in InDesign and I have not been able to find a solution.
   When I set the writing direction from right to left (using the edit menu - right to left), the arrow keys on the right and left keyboard stop responding as they should, and instead of each click the cursor moves one character to the right or left, clicking on them jumps the cursor to the beginning or end of the line.
   The problem only exists when I select the "Visual" option in the above menu.
   Of course, in my Adobe Creative settings, English is set to support Hebrew, and I also noticed that I am opening a text window of the Middle East type, and in the paragraph settings itself, the direction is set from right to left.
   Thank you very much for any help!

2. Stripes in objects that have transparency

   Dear Indesign community,

   I have installed the latest version of Indesign and always have these stripes in those objects that have transparency. The level of transparency does not matter. I set the screen display performance to the highest quality. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Indesign, but nothing has changed.These stripes can no longer be seen in the exported PDF.I use Windows 11, 64 bit, an Asus G814JV laptop with a 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13980HX 2.20 GHz processor. 32GB RAM. And an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card. Indesign version 19.0
   I don't have the option to turn GPU performance on or off in the InDesign defaults with Windows 11.
   GPU performance does not appear in the list of default settings at all. Only Display performance and then Appearance of Black appear.

   Thank you for your help!
   Daniel

3. 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?

   Align 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.

4. "Synchronization completed successfully..." message shows up even if AppleScript's user interaction preferences set to "never interact"

   When synchronizing a book via AppleScript, the "Synchronization completed successfully..." dialog shows up even if the user interaction script preferences are set to "never interact".

   Yes, this message has the "Don't show again" option. However, it's still a bug - because the dialog shouldn't show up at all when user interaction is suppressed.

   On new installations of InDesign or new machine, this message always causes confusion to end users. It means that running the script for the first time will always fail. Users get upset.

   Hope it can be fixed! No dialogs should show up when user interaction is disabled by script.

   Thank you for your attention to the matter.

5. AdjustLayoutPreference Object Properties Not Working in InDesign 2025 & 2026 Scripts

   Hi All,

   I am using Indesign 2025 and 2026; I would like to enable the "Adjust Layout" option in my documents through the Indesign scripting by using "AdjustLayoutPreferences" object properties as in InDesign ExtendScript API Model, but Indesign throwed error is "Eval Error (#55): "Object does not support the property or method 'adjustLayoutPreferences'".

   below is my code:

   var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
   try {
   myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.enableLayoutAdjustment=true;
   myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.allowGraphicsToResize=false;
   myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.allowRulerGuidesToMove=false;
   myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.ignoreObjectOrLayerLocks=true;
   myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.ignoreRulerGuideAlignments=true;
   myDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.snapZone = 0;
   } catch (error) {
   myDocument.adjustLayoutPreferences.enableAutoAdjustMargins=true;
   myDocument.adjustLayoutPreferences.enableAdjustLayout=true;
   myDocument.adjustLayoutPreferences.allowLockedObjectsToAdjust=true;
   myDocument.adjustLayoutPreferences.enableAdjustLayout=true;
   }

   Could someone please check and suggest, how to resolve this issue?

   Regards,
   Mani

6. 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 ...

7. 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.).

8. relink with file extension bug

   Relink File Extension is not working. This bug seems persistent so I can only assume not too many people are reporting it, but it's slowing down my productivity. When I try to use Relink File Extensions and choose the option to link images that have the .psd extension rather than a .jpeg I get the error message "Failed to find 1 links in new folder. These links have not been relinked, and will remain selected in the Links panel." Each time I've attempted to do this over the last couple of months, I double-check that the only difference in the file name is the extension. And I confirm both images are in the same directory. It just doesn't work. Please, please fix! This is a big feature for me in my production work flow. Not having it is slowing me down.

   Hi Kevin & others,

   It looks like you may be inputting ".psd" when it asks you for the filename extension.

   Try inputting just "psd" - that is, without the period in front.

   See what happens - it should work.

   Let us know your findings.

9. 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.

11. Disable auto-scroll (hover scroll) during drag & drop

    While working in InDesign with large catalogs (200+ images), there is a major usability issue during drag & drop.

    When dragging images into the document, the canvas automatically shifts horizontally as the cursor approaches the window edge (auto-scroll / hover scroll behavior).

    This results in:

    the layout “drifting” sideways after multiple placements
    the need to constantly reposition the view (similar to a typewriter carriage shift)
    significant slowdown in production workflow

    Expected behavior:

    Option to completely disable auto-scroll
    Or disable it specifically during drag & drop operations

    Current limitation:
    There is no setting in Preferences to control or disable this behavior.

    Request:
    Please add:

    a toggle to disable hover-based auto-scrolling
    or a modifier key / setting to prevent canvas movement while dragging objects

    This is critical for high-volume layout workflows.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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 quite some time since the CC version was released, and I wonder if Adobe has any plans to address this issue.

15. Switching between Cross Reference "Link To" types causes Crash

    InDesign 17.3 x64
    Edition Windows 10 Enterprise
    Version 20H2
    Installed on ‎4/‎26/‎2022
    OS build 19042.1706
    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4170.0
    Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz
    Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable)

    1. New Hyperlink Destination: saved a Text Anchor (paragraph includes a graphic so I don't want to use the Cross Reference > Link To Paragraph option in this instance.)
    2. Cross-References palette hamburger
    3. Insert Cross-Reference...
    4. Change Link To from Paragraph to Text Anchor and it crashes. (I want to use Cross Reference instead of Hyperlink so it will include dynamic page number.)

    See attached crash reports and screenshots (you'll know which goes with which by time indicated in file names).

    This is super frustrating and is hindering the project's progress. Please fix/stabilize soon.

16. Text appears heavier over a transparent image

    When text is in a layer above an image that has its basic blending mode set to "multiply" the text is rendered with a darker outline. This does not appear in the final PDF, only the preview, but it makes it extremely difficult to judge font sizes and whether text is bold.

    To reproduce:

    1. Create text in a text box.
    2. Insert a JPEG image on the page.
    3. Use the Arrange option on the image to "send to back" so that it is in a layer below the text
    4. Use Effects > Transparency on the image and set its blending mode to Multiply

    The expected result is that the text should appear normally.

    The actual result is that the text appears slightly darker/larger/bolded. This effect may be easier to see if you zoom out in the preview.

17. 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.

18. InCopy: Paragraph Panel Bugs When Placed in Top Menu Area

    I’ve noticed an issue with the Paragraph panel when it's placed in the top menu area of InCopy. The Space After option disappears and only becomes visible when the panel is pulled out or moved to the right-side menu.

    Additionally, the Drop Cap feature behaves oddly in the top menu. It restricts the character selection to a range of 6-150. However, once the panel is pulled out, I can select 1 character as expected.

    Please ensure the Paragraph panel functions consistently in all locations, similar to how it works in InDesign, where I haven’t encountered these issues.

    Also, I couldn’t find a dedicated bug forum for InCopy. When I tried to report the bug through InCopy, it redirected me to the InDesign forums instead.

19. Add a Back Button to Navigate Recently Changed Items in Find/Change

    I frequently use the Find/Change feature in InDesign for text and style replacements. However, it would be very helpful to have a "Back" button or feature to navigate to the last changed instance, especially when working on long documents.

    Currently, the only workaround is manually using Undo (Ctrl+Z/Cmd+Z), but this isn't ideal for reviewing multiple changes. A "Go Back" option would enhance productivity and reduce errors by allowing users to quickly review recent changes.

    Thank you for considering this request!

20. Image catalog script - For creating Contact Sheets

    Under Scripts, my image catalog script does not complete the place command to create an image catalog for me. When bug is worked out, I would also like an option to number each image, instead of only placing file names.

    To recreate: Create new document, letter size. Open scripts, and run Imagecatalog.applescript. Set rows and columns( doesn't matter, also doesn't matter if labels is checked or unchecked) . Page will populate rectangle boxes, but not graphic frames nor insert images.
