1. Export PDF causes unresponsiveness when clicking "same as Document Name" box and changing the filename manually

   InDesign freezes and becomes unresponsive when...

   Using the latest version of InDesign 14.0.1 on macOS Mojave 10.14.3 and exporting a press ready PDF (setting modified to include bleed and crop marks), checking "Using InDesign Document Name as the Output Filename" and then adding some text or changing the filename manually in the save dialog, InDesign freezes afterwards. The PDF is exported successfully, but the program locks up.

   When not checking the box and exporting a PDF there are no problems.

2. have to choose export folder every time

   In CC2019 and before, Indesign seemed to remember, in which folder it was exporting last. So when I was in Job A, it would offer me Folder A to begin with. When I was in Job B, it would offer mit Folder B to begin with.

   In CC2020 (under 10.15.1) it seems Indesign shows the last folder I was woring in. So when I am in Job A an chose Folder A by hand, then close the job and open Job B, When exporting the file would be saved in folder A. Which is quite annoying to be honest. I also can't find any setting that would fix this (and if there are people out who feel the new way is way better: I would like to make a point for the old behaviour and maybe an option to choose between those two, since I solely need to export my pdfs in the folder my main job is located.

   Is this behaviour intentional by adobe or could this be a mistake (and easily be fixed)?

3. idlk lock files cause SharePoint to stop syncing

   I am experiencing exactly this issue (see link below).

   I don't understand how you have ignored so many user requests and done nothing about this issue in nearly 7 years!

4. Paragraph and Table palette contents empty/gone

   1. Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
      InDesign 19.0.1

   2. Steps to reproduce the issues
      Open the Paragraph Palette

   3. Expected result
      There is content there, text, fields for adjusting spacing, etc.

   4. Actual result
      There is no content, no fields to enter or adjust spacing measurements

   5. Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)

   p.s. this is fixable by deleting preferences, but I don't want to lose all my preferences. Is there a way to save preferences before deleting them and restore without reintroducing the problem? I will find out.

   1. Version
      InDesign 16.4.1 CC2021 (macOS 10.16 Mojave)
      Only in applescript, not in javascript.

   2. Steps to reproduce the issues
      step1. prepare a spreads document. Total number of pages must be an odd number.
      step2. Use AppleScript to set the new section at even-numbered page.

   3. Expected result
      The state of the spread is not changed.

   4. actual result
      The spread at the end is split into two spreads.

   5. --code

   main()

   on main()
   mySetup() of me

   tell application "Adobe InDesign 2021"
   
       set mydoc to document 1
       set mypage2 to page 2 of mydoc
   
       tell mydoc
           set newsection to make section with properties {continue numbering:false, page start:mypage2, page number start:4}
       end tell
   end tell
   

   end main

   on mySetup()
   tell application "Adobe InDesign 2021"
   set mydoc to make document
   set properties of document preferences of mydoc to {facing pages:true, pages per document:5}
   end tell
   end mySetup

6. Undo reverts to last save

   I'm using InDesign 2021 version 16.1, macOS version. Recently (maybe since the last update) it lost the regular undo ability. Instead of undoing by steps, it undoes all steps since the last save.

   It is similar to the issue reported with InDesign 2020 (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/38991835-undo-not-working-properly-in-indesign-2020), but the bug persists in the current version even though it is reported as 'Fixed' in that thread.

   This happens every time when using Undo (Command-Z). It reverts to the last saved state. In the case that a document has been saved multiple times, it appears each press of Undo goes back to the previous save. (So if you have saved a document 3 times, you have 3 undo states, even though there may be 15 or 40 or 100 changes.) This happens even with a blank, newly created document.

   I am also experiencing lots of crashes (seemingly random, even when not interacting with the app), which is also new. But this thread is about the undo bug.

8. ScirptUI: in events `app.activate();` doesn’t work on Mac

   Version of Adobe InDesign
   all

   Steps to reproduce the issues
   * Build a ScriptUI palette with a button (or any other element).
   * Give the button a .onClick event with a app.activate; to give the programm’s focus back to InDesign.
   * Try to perform an InDesign shortcut (such as "command f" to show the built-in find dialog or any other you prefer).

   Expected result
   The focus of the programm should be given back to InDesign and the called action in InDesign should be performed (such as showing the find dialog).

   Actual result
   The focus remains on the ScriptUI palette and nothing happens.

   Stated here:
   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/scriptui-palette-focus-after-clicking-button/td-p/10378801

   I can confirm this (non-)behaviour on Mac.

   Thanks,
   Tobias

9. Your decision to demand reactivation of a working program AND THEN NOT ALLOW THE REACTIVATION TO TAKE PLACE is reprehensible.

   Your technical rep called the CS3 suite an "end of life" product but it wasn't; it was enjoying a productive middle age until you put a bullet through its head. "End of life" should mean when new operating systems won't support it, not when you arbitrarily decide to kill it. I purchased that program outright and at significant cost, and you just stole it from me. I've always admired Adobe products but everyone involved with your business models should be ashamed of themselves. I plan to make my case against you LOUDLY on social media and in any other way I can.

10. The Application frame need many clicks before it wants to move.

    I have to click about 5-10-20 times on the Application Frame of InDesign CC 2018 to make it move. I tried to click on different places and it still the same problem. Sometimes it works on the first clic, but more often i have to click many times. I'm on Mac OS 10.11.6, InDesign 13.1. I had the problem on the trial version, i called Adobe Technical service, and they told me to update when my licence will be activated... but it is now, i'm on the last version, and i still have the same problem.

11. Conditional texts applied to wrong parts when exported to an idml

    1. Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server: v17.4.1 x64

    2.Steps to reproduce the issues:
    Export an Indesign file with conditional text settings as an idml file and open the idml file in the InDesign application.

    1. Expected result
       Conditional text settings are applied to the same paragraphs and texts as the InDesign file from which the idml was exported.

    2. Actual result
       Conditional text settings are applied to unexpected paragraphs and texts! Seems like this only happens when one or more of the condition is displayed and does not happens when all the conditions are hidden...

12. Border style bottom is being applied twice to the same text.

    This is a message for all the adobe indesign programmers, before adding new features can you at least fix all the bugs in this program!

    I use the border feature a lot but lately it's been bugger than usual. I have a piece of text that has a border right and bottom. Under it I have another piece of text with the same settings and both have merge borders turned on. Please look at screenshot and tell him what the **** is going on! There is only 2 blocks of text but it's giving me 4 borders!

13. indesign not printing

    I recently upgraded to Mojave. I have the Adobe Creative Suite Premium and a Canon ip3500. Printing from the internet and PDF work fine. Illustrator CC 2019 and InDesign CC 2019 won't print directly from the app. I find it silly and inefficient to save a document as a PDF for printing.What happened and how do I fix it?

    When I send the file to print, the printer goes through the motion but all I get is a super faint outline of the art. The image is a solid fill of 100% black. The printout is a 20% outline of the vector image.

14. Previous version’s book files not saving

    Using InDesign 2022 Prerelease (17.0.0.96).

    When I opened my Book file, created with the current released version (16.4.0.54), in this new version, it wouldn't let me hit ⌘S to save.

    It keeps prompting me to save the file anew, as though it had just converted it fresh or created the Book.

    The world is not going to stop revolving around its axis over this one, but it was disconcerting and annoying.

15. Multiple line hyperlinks tab out of order when exported to PDF.

    Hi there. For whatever reason, when I have hyperlinks that wrap to a new line in InDesign, Acrobat tabs through them in the reverse order when exported as a PDF. Here is an example:

    [Let's say this sentence is a hyperlink that
    has wrapped to a new line.]

    When exported to a PDF, the tab order starts at [has wrapped to a new line.] then tabs to [Let's say this sentence is a hyperlink that]. And it continues that method throughout the piece. This is with tabbing set to document structure. If I set the tabbing method to "row", it tabs correctly, but that's not ideal in mutli-column layouts. The copy containing the hyperlinks are in single containers.

    I can fix it by diving into the tags in Acrobat and adjusting the order, but that isn't ideal as my InDesign docs usually have numerous hyperlinks, go through multiple proofs, and sometimes have multiple designers touching the piece. Is there a way to correct this in InDesign?

    This person had the same problem as me back in version 13.1, but I didn't see any kind of resolution:
    https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/39062443-multiple-text-line-links-tab-out-of-order

    Seeing as it's been awhile, I'm hoping this has been resolved, or there is a work-around.

    My Adobe InDesign version: 17.2.1

    Thanks in advance!

16. hyphenation not working properly in English

    first, why can't I use a snipping file here? Neither .jpg or .png will work - your site denies these file types.

    My hyphenation is really out of whack. If you look at the first line of text, it's crazy that it's wrapping the 1, for WW1 to the next line. If I add the No Break from the Character panel, it moves "World War" down to the second line.

17. Urgent Bug Report – Inability to Set Save Location for AI-Generated Images

    Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

    I am writing to report a critical flaw in InDesign’s AI-generated text-to-image functionality that severely disrupts workflow, particularly in collaborative environments.

    Currently, InDesign automatically saves AI-generated images to a local drive without giving users the ability to specify a save location. This is completely inconsistent with InDesign’s core functionality, which relies on linked assets rather than embedded files. When working in a team—especially in networked environments where assets are stored on a NAS or shared drive—this oversight makes it impossible to maintain proper file linking. As a result, when multiple designers are collaborating on a document, exports fail due to missing links.

    This is the only time InDesign has ever had such a problem with asset management. Every other workflow allows users to control file paths, ensuring seamless collaboration. The fact that AI-generated images are treated differently makes no sense and creates unnecessary roadblocks.

    Adobe must address this issue immediately by allowing users to set a preferred save location for AI-generated images, just as they can for any other linked asset. Until this is fixed, the feature is fundamentally broken for professional use.

    Please escalate this as a high-priority fix. InDesign is an industry-standard tool for collaborative publishing, and this implementation of AI-generated images contradicts its entire workflow philosophy.

    Looking forward to a resolution.

18. Still not fixed—GREP search fails to find all the matching instances in long documents

    An Adobe Indesign CC 2019 (version 14.0.2) file has fewer than 15K characters. A return, followed by the text “ppp”, appears 27 times in the file. They can all be found using the “Text” version of find, searching for “^ppp”. However, using the “GREP” version of find, searching for “\rppp”, only the last one is found. (I am running MacOS Mojave, version 10.14.5 on a MaxBook Pro, retina, 15 inch, mid 2015).

    I followed the purported fix found at https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/search-issue-in-long-documents.html but with no success.

    Indesign files are invalid file types for attaching to this bug post; however I have a sample file illustrating this bug and am willing to send it along if it is wanted.

19. Lag due to "corrupt links"

    Case Number: ADB-10686986-C0K0
    Issue: Performance
    The file I am working on is part of a network located book which included 15 separate indesign documents and links to many images. Working on the file last week everything was fine, however this week when I type even a single character there is a tremendous lag (30 seconds to 2 minutes). This has affected every file in the book that I have opened this week so far.
    The adobe tech had me create a new file and "move" all the pages to that file. This resolved the lag however it also broke the relationship to the pdf comments and now they cannot be imported. The solution also will require me to import missing formats (table of contents) and manually make all edits but is still faster than working with the original file.
    Unsure why the links "became corrupt" especially when they appear fine.

    The advanced technician identified something she called "corrupted links" which she mentioned "happens sometimes" . I propose an export to new document feature since all I had to do was move the pages to a new document to fix it. Adobe should be able to figure out why the links are not ok in one document but work fine when move to a new one. The old file is the one with the issues.

20. [Scripting] Document.findObject() incorrectly targets activeDocument

    System: Indesign 18.4, MacOS 13.4.1

    To reproduce:
    1. Open two documents, each with a filled frame 100% tint.
    2. Run attached script "findObject bug.js"
    3. Note the console output.
    4. Refer to this forum post for notes and commentary.

    Expected result:
    doc.findObject() will return found items from both open documents.

    Actual result:
    doc.findObject() returns only items from active document.

    Note that using app.findObject() is not a viable workaround in some cases, such as the issue in this post.
