1. Disconnected from Share for Review link

   I'm unable to

   a) open the share for review link in Chrome (I get a Disconnected error) and
   b) I can't see any annotations (pins, highlights, and contextual markers) via InDesign review window. I can only see the comments attached to each spread

   AI tells me that: My Share for Review link is no longer synced to Adobe’s cloud review servers.

   Going to adobe.com/files (Creative Cloud > Home > Your Files) = also gives me a disconnected error.
   When I check my account on the top right (in Creative Cloud) = I only see the preload screen like its about to populate
   Going to account.adobe.com (in Desktop) = also gives me a preload screen
   Yes, the show annotations option is on in InDesign.

   I'm guessing Adobe is currently ******** itself – or there's a bug with Share for Review or perhaps its just with my account?

   My details:

   InDesign: 21.5.1
   Mac OS 26.5.2

2. freezing in Indesign version 16.2.1

   Hi all

   I was working on a very important file yesterday morning using Indesign version 16.2.1 on PC window 10 and was linking images to the file when my indesign just froze. I've been having issues since where it takes for ever if at all to open any indesign file. At one stage it didn't recover my file so a message came up to ask if I wanted to recovery it....what ever option I chose I was left with Indesign unable to still function properly. (I had also renamed files incase the file was corrupt) Also noticed when force quiting the program using "Task Manager" that Adobe Notification Client - says suspended, so we don't get a crash report window) and also it always says indesign is not responding. Found in a forum about clearing the " Indesign Recovery" File area. This doesn't seem tohave helped. I also tried installing an older indesign version to see if it would not remember any setting/issues but it did the same thing.....Can you please advise what I can do to solve this as I cannot use Idesign at all currently.

   This is very urgent!

3. 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

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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

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

   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:

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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!

12. 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

13. 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.

    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… more

14. 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,

15. 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 ...

16. 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.

17. Critical Request: Disable Mandatory “Save As New Document” Behavior in Latest InDesign Versions

    Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

    Since the introduction of the most recent InDesign update (version 19.x and onward), our team has experienced a disruptive new behavior: InDesign frequently requires us to save working documents under a new name, even when opening files that have not changed location, permissions, or ownership.

    This behavior appears arbitrary and is not user-configurable. It breaks a long-standing professional workflow and creates significant confusion due to the unnecessary proliferation of duplicate file versions. As a result, our team faces increased risk of:
    • Publishing or sending incorrect versions of documents to clients
    • Compromising file version control and internal quality checks
    • Reputation damage and even liability exposure due to avoidable errors

    We must emphasize that this behavior was not present in earlier versions of InDesign, and there has never been a need to “Save As” files repeatedly for the exact same document on the same workstation by the same user. While we understand that metadata integrity or compatibility might be the intended reason, Adobe must allow professionals to disable this mechanism.

    Please provide an option in Preferences that gives users control over whether InDesign enforces this “Save As New” behavior. This should be a user-side decision — not a forced system behavior.

    Until then, this issue undermines our ability to deliver reliable, efficient, and professional publishing services.

    Sincerely,

    Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

18. [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.

    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

19. 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.

20. 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.
