1. [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.

   Hi,

   Thank you for reporting the issue. It is currently under investigation.

2. Font baseline grid

   The baseline grid start value for Open Sans is different if the font is used from Adobe than if it's used from Google.
   This results in changes in layout which is very annoying. Also, when telling indesign to fit the box to text, the box is unnecessary larger at the top.
   Before the 17.0 InDesign update that wasn't the case.

   Someone else complained about this in November - https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/text-boxes-need-to-be-enlarged-after-update/m-p/... - the issue there is marked as solved, but it wasn't solved actually.

   The issue started with 17.0, actually i was really hoping it would have been addresses in this recent 17.1, update, but unfortunately it wasn't fixed.

   Someone voiced this earlier as well, it's not only about one font, it's about different google fonts, which I was using. We have a lot of documents which we share inbetween us and from the beginning we used the google font and we never had a problem. only after a recent update it started and it's quite a hassle to change all fonts in all documents now... also, some people experience it the other way on PC's - the adobe font version triggers the baseline shift, so that is not an option either.

   could you please fix this?

   thank you!

3. 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!

4. 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

5. 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,

6. 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.

7. Software changes

   I use InDesign daily for my publication and when you keep changing things, it throws me off and wastes my time.
   I used to be able to print to save pages to the same folder, but now when I print to save a page, it takes me to whatever folder I most recently placed an image from. VERY frustrating. Also, I now have to scroll to get to my most recently used fonts rather than the drop down font list being automatically positioned at the top with most recently used fonts.
   I wish you would just STOP changing things! Every time there's an update, it takes me a several days to adjust to changes that I didn't need or want, which slows me down and reduces my productivity.
   If you MUST do updates, make them optional, or allow us to download them quarterly or twice a year so we don't have to constantly adapt to changes!

8. 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?

9. Use of tab key is inserting unwanted numerals into line of copy instead of tab

   When working in InDesign v 14.0.3 x64 on my PC, I've encountered a new problem when trying to align text in a bulleted list using the "tab" key.

   After keying in the text in my list, I create alignment by first inserting tabs using the Type > Tabs command, and then using the "Tab" key on my keyboard to align second and third lines of text. Lately, when I move my cursor down to the second line of text and attempt to use the tab key to align the text with the tab I set in the line above, InDesign inserts the numeral "1" on the line (see attached screenshot, where I've marked the numeral with a red circle).

   No matter what I try, I cannot get it to stop inserting the numeral 1 in the line. I've even tried re-setting the tab, to no avail. I've saved the file, closed all applications, re-started my computer and attempted to update InDesign via Creative Cloud, but nothing solves the problem.

   The only option I have to align items in my bulleted list is to insert a soft break (Shift + Enter) and use the space bar to move the line of copy to the right incrementally. Unfortunately, this does not offer perfect alignment.

   Can you please help?

10. InDesign doesn't export 16 bit grayscale or 48 bit color images

    Tested on version: 20.2 x64

    Dear Adobe Support Team,

    When importing high bit-depth images—such as 16-bit grayscale or 48-bit/64-bit color (TIFF/PSD formats)—into Adobe InDesign, we’ve observed that even when disabling down-sampling and compression, the exported PDF converts these images to 8-bit grayscale or 8 bits per component for color (i.e., 24-bit RGB or 32-bit CMYK), rather than preserving the original bit depth.

    While we understand that limitations may exist within the current Acrobat SDK, it is important to highlight that:

    The Adobe PDF Library SDK (PDFL SDK) explicitly supports the creation and reading of 16-bit image objects in multiple color spaces. (https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/pdflsdk/apireference/index.html)

    The Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) now offers native support for high-bit-depth (16 bpc) images.

    Manual replacement of images inside a PDF with 16-bit versions still results in correctly preserved 16 bpc display, confirming that the PDF format itself is not a limitation.

    Given these capabilities within Adobe’s own ecosystem, we kindly request that InDesign be updated to optionally preserve original image bit depth when exporting to PDF, particularly in professional print workflows where tonal fidelity and HDR imaging are critical.

    Please refer to the attached image samples for confirmation and visual reference.

    We appreciate your support and look forward to your guidance on whether this feature can be implemented or if a workaround exists via scripting or SDK.

    Thanks.

11. 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.

12. Arabic Diacritic Stacking Broken in v21.2 – Kasra Always Attaches Under Shadda When Ligatures Enabled

    Severity: Critical
    InDesign Version: 21.2 x64
    Language: Arabic (RTL)

    Bug Summary

    Incorrect positioning of Arabic diacritics (Kasra + Shadda) when ligatures are enabled.
    Input order of combining marks is ignored, breaking previous behavior (pre-v17).

    Environment

    Text Direction: RTL

    Language: Arabic

    Font: KFGQPC Uthman Taha Naskh

    Composer: World-Ready Composer

    Ligatures: Enabled

    Diacritic Positioning panel tested (no effect)

    Description

    In versions up to 17, manual input order of Arabic diacritics controlled stacking:

    Kasra (U+0650) then Shadda (U+0651) → Kasra under base letter

    Shadda then Kasra → Kasra under Shadda

    In version 21.2 x64, InDesign enforces mark-to-mark positioning strictly.
    Kasra always attaches under Shadda, regardless of input order.

    This removes manual typographic control required in professional Arabic publishing.

    Not a Font Issue

    Font tested: KFGQPC Uthman Taha Naskh

    Works correctly in Microsoft Word

    Word respects input order

    Therefore issue originates from InDesign shaping engine, not the font

    Workarounds Tested
    1. Disable Ligatures

    Result: Kasra appears under base letter (correct)
    Problem: Not viable for production — breaks Arabic typography and workflow in large documents (800+ pages)

    1. Diacritic Positioning Panel

    No effect on stacking behavior

    1. GREP + Baseline Shift

    Only visual workaround — not a shaping fix

    Additional Observation

    If entering:
    Kasra + Shadda + Kasra

    The Kasra appears under the base letter (duplicated), indicating partial internal support for alternate stacking.

    Steps to Reproduce

    Set paragraph direction to RTL

    Use font: KFGQPC Uthman Taha Naskh

    Enable Ligatures

    Type a letter + Kasra + Shadda

    Observe: Kasra appears under Shadda

    Disable Ligatures

    Observe: Kasra appears under base letter

    Impact

    Breaks classical Arabic typography control

    Affects religious and academic publishing

    Removes backward compatibility with previous versions

    Forces manual verification in large documents

    Request

    Please investigate:

    Interaction between ligatures and mark-to-mark positioning

    Changes introduced after v17

    Possibility of restoring manual diacritic stacking behavior

    Or adding an option such as:
    “Respect input order for Arabic diacritics”

    Immediate attention requested due to impact on professional Arabic publishing workflows

    Severity: Critical
    InDesign Version: 21.2 x64
    Language: Arabic (RTL)

    Bug Summary

    Incorrect positioning of Arabic diacritics (Kasra + Shadda) when ligatures are enabled.

13. 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!

14. Remove Forced Line Breaks messes up Page Navigation markers

    When exporting as Reflowable EPUB with Page Navigation turned on, page markers need to be inserted immediately before the first word on the page. Often, this will be inside a paragraph.

    However, in InDesign 21.2, is the "Remove Forced Line Breaks" option is turned on, the markers are only being placed as <div> tags and never as <span> tags. This means that the page break markers are only placed between block elements and never inside them, so they don't accurately reflect where the page breaks occur in the print layout.

    Current export example:
    <p>A full paragraph with a page break inside.</p>
    <div aria-label="2" id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak"/>
    <p>The next paragraph.</p>

    Desired export example:
    <p>A full paragraph with a <span aria-label="2" id="page2" role="doc-pagebreak"/>page break inside.</p>
    <p>The next paragraph.</p>

    To replicate:
    1. Created a new file and fill with enough text for two pages.
    2. Ensure there is a paragraph that breaks from one page to the next.
    3. Export as EPUB (Reflowable) with both Page Navigation and Remove Forced Line Breaks turned on.

    The page marker will be inserted as a <div> between paragraphs. Export with Remove Forced Line Breaks turned off, and the marker will be a <span> in the correct place.

15. 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.

16. InDesign hyperlink testing swamps my website and triggers my site's denial-of-service-attack banning on my IP

    InDesign does checking of hyperlinks to see if they are valid and indicates the result in the hyperlinks list with a green dot (good) or a red dot (bad).

    The problem is my document has 500+ hyperlinks to my website and when Adobe tests these hyperlinks (when I open up the hyperlinks list dialog), it swamps my website with hundreds of hyperlink hits all at once and triggers the denial-of-service-attack IP banning code on my website.

    The end result is any time I'm editing hyperlinks in my Adobe InDesign document, I get banned from my website! When I check the server logs, it shows the source being an Adobe app at my IP -- which is InDesign of course.

    You need to add an option in the InDesign settings to throttle hyperlink testing by adding a delay between each link test ping. Default it to zero but let the user set a value in milliseconds to delay each test ping. Adding 1000 milliseconds would make each test ping get fired at one second intervals, for instance. Allow a max of 360,000 milliseconds, which is 6 minutes delay between pings.

    Your programmers need to keep in mind not everyone has a half-dozen hyperlinks in their documents. Get them to think through what happens in hyperlink testing if the document has 1000 hyperlinks in it, all deep links to pages on a single website -- and they will realize what a monster they've created by not allowing a user-specified per link test delay value.

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. After typing values in dialogue boxes, InDesign list panels unusable + Mouse click outside InDesign window not working

    Hi all,
    I have a persistent issue with scrolling some InDesign panel lists such as swatches, font list, font weight.
    After I type any set value on a dialogue box (like font size, transparency, color tone, font spacing etc), some fundamental InDesign panels become unusable: list elements (swatches, fonts etc) slip away from mouse selection like they were anchored to cursor.
    Mouse click outside InDesign window to desktop or other apps also doesn't work.
    Functionality can be restored only by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Canc and then Esc.

    I attach a sample video of the issue:
    1. two panels working correctly (Font panel and Swatches panel);
    2. typing of a random value on a random box (not important which box, the issue appears after any keyboard entering on any dialogue box);
    3. the same panels not working anymore (in the video I am only moving the cursor over them, without pressing any mouse button).

    More details about malfunctioning:

    • Paragraph/Font Style panel list, Glyphs list, Layers/Pages/Links panel lists work correctly.

    • If I set a Font/Paragraph Style: font scrolling and selection on Style Option window works, whereas swatch scrolling and selection has the same issue shown on the attached video.

    I already tried to delete InDesign cache and I also restored default InDesign preferences, but issue recurs.
    I think there could be a conflict between InDesign and hardware/OS settings, here details:

    InDesign version: 18.2.1 (+ ANY earlier CC version. I had identical issues on all previous versions on this pc).
    OS: Windows 10 x64, all updates installed
    PC model: Dell XPS-15 7590
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
    Mouse model: Dell WM615 (Bluetooth), drivers updated to last version.

    Thank you

19. GDI Handles

    Indesign 19.5 x64 does not cleanup GDI Handles on Windows 10 build 19045.4529, version 22H2.

    This only occurs when the feature 'Turn on Overprint Preview' is enabled, and you start scrolling. When you disable that feature, you can scroll again without the GDI Handles being hogged by Indesign. The handles rae, after the feature is disabled, not released.

    A 28 page project, and a scroll up and down trough the project, costed me almost 600 GDI handles, and when I'm at 10.000, Windows just stops serving new ones and Indesign will crash.

    Expected outcome: GDI Handles do either not increase upon scrolling within the 'Overprint preview' function, or they are released once I disable the feature.

    Currect outcome: GDI handles are held by the Indesign.exe process, up and until the 10.000 counter, with as a result that InDesign becomes unresponsive to the Operating System, debuggers cannot be attached anymore and the only option is to just kill it.

    I've recorded my steps and included screenshots of the GDI Handles counter being aggressively moving up when I'm scrolling. However, it is in a ZIP file as how Windows serves them. This is the public link to the file in my Google Drive. It will be there for a few months, then I'll remove it, so please get it before then.

    If there are any questions of if you do ned more information, please reach out. And let me know when this is fixed.

20. Preflight panel Overset text not showing page number

    SEE ALSO
    Preflight panel Overset text not identifying page number

    For a couple different files, I got an error message in the Preflight panel, indicating the presence of Overset text, but NO page number. In both files, it said it was an issue with footnotes, but not where. One of the suggested fixes is to allow Split Footnotes, but that option is already checked.

    julietw99713499_0-1606320681951.png

    After a lot of sleuthing, we eventually found the error. In one of the two files there were multiple errors in multiple locations. The entire footnote had vanished. The footnote reference was still there, but all of the text of the note had disappeared.

    julietw99713499_2-1606321000183.png

    As you can see, I had previously lengthened the page to make room for the footnote text at the bottom of the page. But then the program decided, nope, not enough room for that after all, and made the entire footnote disappear.

    When I lengthened the page by 0p1, Poof! the footnote text magically reappeared. If I shortened it by that 0p1 again, the footnote text stayed in place.

    1. Why does it suddenly decide the page is too short, when it was not too short before or after that time?

    2. Why has the Preflight panel gotten less smart than it used to be and can no longer identify the location of the error?

    I upgraded to version 16.0 and got the same results.

    Windows PC, 64-bit, shown here is 15.1.2, but as noted, after I upgraded to version 16.0, the Preflight panel didn't get any smarter.
