1. 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.

2. 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 ...

3. 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.

4. Embedding video and publishing online

   I tried to embed four small videos (first at HD and then at SD) but the online publishing kept coming up with a error #16 message, when I tried to do this. After trial and error, I only managed to upload three videos into the Annual Report I had put together - not ideal at all.

   This would imply that there IS a limitation in terms of file size when publishing online. The overall size of the InDesign file was 23,560 KB.

   The three videos at SD were: 73,907 KB, 156,488 KB, 48,701 KB. The additional SD video that I wanted to include but couldn't was 492,402 KB.

   This is such a shame as the ability to embed video using the online publishing option is such a game changer.

   Many thanks,
   Michelle

5. Assign new shortcut for hiding panels while inside a text box don't work (Mac 12.7.4 ID2023)

   InDesign 18.5.2
   Mac 12.7.4

   Please read and try to create it in order to see the problem. some users reported it works for a few times, but later stopped.

   Hello,
   I have a need to hide/show panels except the toolbox which is here:

   Product area : Views, Navigation > Show/Hide all panels except toolbox --- Default: Shift+Tab

   Of course this shortcut will not work when my cursor is inside a text box so I added a shortcut when the "Text" context is selected so it will work in this way too: Text: Ctrl+Tab

   While doing so I made sure [unassigned] is written.

   I now have 2 shortcuts for this actions but the only one that works is the default one and I don't understand why.

   I tried to remove the first option and keep only the one I assigned but it still won't work.

   Attached is a screenshot of my definitions.

   thank you

6. Accessible alt text for hyperlinks needs to be supported by scripting

   With InDesign scripting, it's possible to search for "searchTerms" from one column of a tab-delimited file, then set corresponding hyperlinks from another column. This means I can set hundreds of hyperlinks in just a few minutes. However, it remains impossible to set the hyperlink's alt text with a script — that function isn't scriptable. So either I ignore this important accessibility requirement (not an option), or I still have to manually edit each hyperlink, one at a time, wasting many hours and introducing the possibility of errors on each one.

   For example, a document contains hundreds of product numbers or reference numbers, and each one needs to link to a URL. The numbers themselves aren't sufficient to describe what the links lead to; they need alt text. I have a spreadsheet that lists these numbers, their corresponding URLs and their alt text descriptions. I can set the hyperlinks using a script and the spreadsheet, but I can't set the alt text.

7. 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.

   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.

9. Verknüpfungen werden nach jeder Aktivität neu aufgebaut // InDesign 17.0 x64 // running on Win 10 Pro

   Aktuell laden sich die verknüpften Bilder nach jedem Doing in InDesign (Also egal was ich mache, Textverschieben, von einem anderen Programm zurück zu InDesign wechsle oder was auch immer, 1 Sache mache ich und schon laden die ganzen Verknüpfungen neu. In den alten Versionen lief das ohne Probleme. Ich konnte ohne Störungen arbeiten. Dies scheint ein BUG zu sein, denn das macht das Arbeiten mit dem neuen InDesign unmöglich. Ich kann nicht jede Sekunde warten, bis sich der Screen neu aufgebaut hat und ich weiterarbeiten kann. Die Bilder komplett auszugrauen ist auch keine Option, da es für unsere Gestaltung wichtig ist, die eingebauten Bilder sehen zu können.

   Gibt es hier evtl. eine Lösung die ich nicht kenne?
   Falls und wenn leider nicht, bitte schickt hier ein ganz schnelles Update nach. In der täglichen Arbeit so nicht nutzbar.

10. CC Libraries thumbnail transparency

    In InDesign 2026, CC Libraries does not correctly preview transparent white vector assets. “Show Transparency Grid” only displays the transparency grid outside the asset’s bounding box. The area inside the bounding box remains white, making white logos and icons invisible. For example, a round white logo is shown as a blank white square. The asset is transparent when placed in the document, so the issue affects the CC Libraries thumbnail only. Local InDesign Libraries show the object contours in the layer color, but CC Libraries offer no comparable visibility option.

    Would prefer either:
    - A transparent box with white preview only of the asset.
    - A contour of the asset in the layer colour (like in local libraries, so you can see the outline of the asset).

    In attachment, icon is added into the library in white (wit) and black (zwart).
    Black one is visible, white one is not.

11. 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.

13. Text selection selects whole document AND cursor jumps to top of document after saving

    InCopy 14.0. MacOs Mojave 10.14.4
    I work in a icml-document which was assigned to me from InDesign. It contains references to other documents and a lot of comments (for the designer).
    After I have made the third or later comment, it becomes impossible to select text. InCopy selects the text from the top of the document upto the point where I click the mouse. When I try Option+Shift+Arrow, the cursor jumps to the top of the document. I can save the document, after which the issue is away until I have made a few extra comments, but which also puts the cursor again at the top of the document. This is unworkable, because I continually have to search the position I was editing.
    I have tried to switch from Adobe CC to iCloud Drive, this makes no difference.
    I have tried to copy all the content to a fresh document, this also makes no difference.
    I unfortunately cannot attach the document that I am working on, because this page does nog accept icml-files of a zipfile.

    InCopy 14.0. MacOs Mojave 10.14.4
    I work in a icml-document which was assigned to me from InDesign. It contains references to other documents and a lot of comments (for the designer).
    After I have made the third or later comment, it becomes impossible to select text. InCopy selects the text from the top of the document upto the point where I click the mouse. When I try Option+Shift+Arrow, the cursor jumps to the top of the document. I can save the document, after which the issue is away until I have made a few extra comments, but which also puts… more

14. 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!

15. 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

16. Error 39 - An error occurred while uploading your document. Please try again.

    Hey all,

    Really seeking some help or guidance here, we've been experiencing issues with all of our users attempting to upload/publish a document within InDesign (This is occurring with all InDesign files and on all machines I've tested so far).

    I have performed a fresh installation into a virtual machine running Windows 10 (10.0.18363.1854) and version 17.0 of InDesign where the issue is occurring also.

    I have followed https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/upload-error-publishing-indesign-document.html#sa_src=web-messag... however disabling network proxy is not an option as we're an enterprise environment.

    I can see 200's for reaching the endpoints mentioned in various Adobe support documentation however I have been able to identify that InDesign will ignore the PAC file and attempt to go directly to some Amazon endpoints which is causing the error.

    I contacted Adobe Support via Chat and was advised my request was forwarded to an expert however I have received no communications since then or a reference number to persue the matter.

    Is there any additional settings within InDesign where I can specify a proxy?

    Many thanks in advance,

17. [ID-3806494] Text Wrap Woes: v20.2 Update Fails to Resolve Text Wrapped Object Error Spacing Issue in Adobe InDesign

    This is a follow-up on the original bug report [ID-4257733], which addresses the issue of the "Text Wrapped Object" spacing error. The problem remains unresolved in Adobe InDesign version 2025 v20.2. Please find attached a PNG image illustrating the persisting issue

    Version of Adobe InDesign: 2025 v20.2, Mac OS 15.3.1

    Steps to Reproduce the Issue:

    1. Insert an image or free-flowing table into the text.
    2. Anchor the image or table in-line or custom to maintain spatial proximity with other images on the same page and ensure it remains adjacent to specific text .

    Expected Result: The ability to freely move or reposition the table/image anywhere on the page within the text, without overlaying or obscuring the text. This is particularly important for maintaining the relevancy and visual flow of the content.

    Actual Result: The "text wrap" spacing option fails to work for the text above the table/image, and the spacing is inconsistent—it does not work for the text above the table/image but functions correctly for the text below.

18. Eliminate Generating PDF dialog box

    I am constantly bothered by the Generating PDF dialog box for two reasons:
    First, it doesn't play well with my dual-screen setup. If I have InDesign on one monitor, the dialog box often shows up on the othe rmonitor, blocking whatever applications or windows I am working on outside of InDesign. Then I must manually drag it over to the InDesign monitor to get it out of the way. Come on Adobe! Many users have multiple monitors. Your apps should remember the locations of all dialog boxes, windows, and panels and not arbitrarily show up in random places.
    Second, and more importantly, there is NO reason for this dialog box to appear at all.
    If I select multiple files in an InDesign book panel, then choose Export Book to PDF, the dialog box appears for the duration of the export.
    But if I simply open a file and chose File > Export, the export happens as a background task as it should, allowing me to continue working on other files in InDesign.
    Why isn't background exporting the default? At the very least, please make it an Adobe PDF Preset option? 
    BTW, I'm using the latest version of InDesign (18.5), but this problem has always been present in all versions over the past decade.

19. InDesign crashes when deleting pages from multiple files

    This doesn't happen on every single file, but it happens probably once a week or so. I will need to delete anywhere from a couple pages to a couple hundred pages in an InDesign file, and when I try to delete those pages, InDesign will freeze and crash.

    The option in Preferences to add pages to the end of the Story Editor is not checked on, so that isn't causing it.

    The issue will persist even if I save the file as an idml and open in older CC versions. Thank heavens I still have my old CS6, because the only solution I have ever found for this issue is to open the idml in CS6, delete the pages, resave, and then open the file in CC 2023 and continue working.

    If that solution isn't viable because the document uses features that weren't available in CS6, then I end up having to recreate the file entirely by copy+pasting the main story over to a new document and then recreating every other element in the original document.

    This costs me anywhere from an hour to several hours of billable work time every week, and I'm sick of it. I should not have to use 10-year-old software to do something basic like delete pages from a document.

20. Allow importing of styles from CC library to application, not just to document

    There needs to be a way to import styles from our library into InDesign itself, not into a document. You allow us to import swatches this way, so why not styles?

    I have lots of default styles/swatches, which I created with no document open so they are applied to every new document I make. I got a new computer, so I added all of these styles to my library with hopes that I could import them all again.

    Nope.

    ID lets you add swatches from your library to the app, but as far as styles go you need to have a document open. Importing the styles into a document defeats the entire purpose--they will not be in any new documents.

    I'm aware that I can use the styles directly from my library, but it's a hassle having to go in there every time and then right-click on each style to import it...on each new document.

    You can see in one image, it allows me to add my library colors to the app, but for styles the option isn't present.
