It follows with a contact the App company for further support.1 vote -
Placed/Imported Photos glitching, changing colors, white noise effect
File> Placed Photos glitching, changing colors, white noise effect, or turn black. Tried dragging and dropping onto artboard but pictures keep importing distorted. Reset all presets and preferences. Uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck. Photos should import as is instead of glitching and most of all changing colors. This started happening after I updated InDesign beginning of this month (November 2021).

[ Versions 14 and 15 ] Adjust Layout | Liquid Page Rule "Scale" is affecting the result
Hi together,
as it seems feature Adjust Layout is actually affected by Liquid Page Rule.Two identical pages will scale type differently if Liquid Page Rule is set to "Based on Master" on one page and "Scale" on the other page.
This seems to be a bug. Liquid Page Rule should not affect the result of Adjust Layout. Applied my test documents from my German InDesign 2020 15.0.2.310 on Windows 10:
200206-1-Wrong-Text-Size-with-LayoutAdjustment-INDD-2020.zipNOTE: I renamed the zip file to .zip.txt because this site will NOT allow to attach zip files.
Also see into this thread at Adobe InDesign Forum where…

profil
Bonjour, Le souci est que sur BR mes fichiers Indd et les exports pour impression en PDF ne contiennent aucune mention de "Profil Colorimétrique", alors que mes logiciels Adobe ont bien la même gestion de couleur à savoir : PREPRESSE EUROPE > COATED FOGRA39
J'ai beau Attribuer ou Convertir en profil cela ne fonctionne pas !
Sinon, pouvez-vous me donner la manipulation à faire ?
Merci
Cela est très ennuyeux pour les imprimeurs.1 vote -
Incorrect Page Count Value
It appears that InDesign CS6 or any of the later CC versions is incorrectly writing the page count metadata, such as CC2018.
This can be demonstrated using Adobe Bridge or ExifTool with the -XMP-xmp:PageImagePageNumber command.
Files consisting of 1 to 2 pages are correctly reported. In all cases, only 2 pages are being shown, whether the file has 3, 4, 128 pages etc.
Screenshots from Bridge CC2018 uploaded/attached.
1 voteHi Stephen,
There is a preference in InDesign to save preview images with document, by default ‘First 2 Pages’ is selected in that preference. You can change the setting as per your requirement. It is under ‘InDesign CC/ Edit→Preferences→File Handling’.
Thanks

Library panel not registering licensed images
Hi, for a while now the Library panel does not register when I license an image from Adobe Stock. I search for an image and place a watermarked thumbnail into the document (InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop). When the draft is approved I click on the license image icon on the image in the Library (or on the thumbnail image in the document) and the license process happens but the library does to update to show the licensed image. I have to go to Adobe stock in a web browser, find the specific library and download the image manually. The cloud…

Random pdfs displaying weird text placement
Since Adobe updated my InDesign to 2021, I have been having issues with fonts showing correctly in placed pdfs. Sometimes text will be completely removed. Other times text is displayed enlarged, upside down and reversed. It is not all pdfs. Sometimes it is just one page in a pdf that displays badly. Please fix this bug. It is very annoying when I'm trying to paginate and print files for clients.

Slow creation of PDF low-res
In addition to the problem I posted regarding a conflict between ID and Windows 11, I did resolve that by moving to an earlier release of ID. However, the creation of the low-res PDF now consumed the time it normally takes to produce a high-res print-ready export. Something is going on with ID 17.1.

'manage extensions' not in 'help' dropdown

line thickness
- Adobe Indesign 19.1 Dutch version but problem occurs also in previous versions. OS Sonoma 14.1
- Double click on 'line' then I try to fill in 0,5 pt for the thickness.
- I would expect 0,5 pt for the thickness.
- but I get ',t' instead. After trying '5' and press 'enter' I get '5 pt' and after that I can choose anything I want.

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.

HSB Swatch Displays incorrectly with Color Settings OFF
On Mac, when using the setting "Emulate Adobe InDesign 2.0 CMS OFF" in Color Settings, HSB color swatches display incorrectly on the page. For example, a light pastel would display as royal blue. When using "North American Prepress 2" or "North American General Purpose 2" settings, the color is displayed correctly.
Also, the automatic names InDesign provides when using "Add Unnamed Colors" in the Swatches panel show incorrect values. See attached.
1 voteThe fix for this issue is available in the latest InDesign release 16.2.1
Please update to this latest version to get the fix.

[ID-4272089]Grouped objects does not go back to original layers when ungrouped if 'Ungroup Remembers Layer' is enabled
- Version of Adobe InDesign is v21.0
- Create several layers, put an object on each layer, make sure that 'Ungroup Remembers Layers' is checked, group all objects, and ungroup.
- Expected result: all objects remain on the layer they were on before they were grouped.
- Actual results: all objects are on the top layer or the highest layer on which there was an object that was within the group
In my opinion this should be treated as a hotfix. This is ruining the workflow and messes up the files that then need to either be fixed or rolled back to previous versions.…

resize object works rarely
It's already 2019. I've been reading comments from 2015 about this same issue. I downloaded the most current version of InDesign and unbelievably I still cannot resize an object on my MacbookPro by clicking on the shift button. It works occasionally (for some odd reason). This is totally ridiculous. I read dozens of complaints about this from 2015 and on. Seriously, Adobe? You cannot fix this issue once and for all.

UI Interface Overlapping
Adobe Indesign 20.0
Reproduction: Opening InDesign or working on a file with extensive links
Expected Result: UI elements act as intended and do not overlap other portions of the interface, does not interfere with workflow
Actual Result: Portions of the UI are unusable due to overlapping and cannot see the last few links in the Links panel
First noticed this error on 10/16/2024 after updating InDesign the day prior

CC library issues - errors importing and no browser sync
I am using Adobe Cloud v17.3 and have 2 related issues:
When I try to import a CC library, it doesn't fully import. Only a few items appear.
This library has been successfully imported on other occasions, so I am confused.I have built another CC library within my InDesign environment. When I try to view it online, it says that I don't have any libraries?!

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.
- Don't see your idea?
