1. Adobe Fonts: Garamond Premier Pro 'Regular' is buggy, keeps disappearing in Indesign

   Hi there,

   Adobe Fonts is already fairly buggy and annoying, but InDesign also keeps losing added fonts. (InDesign 20.0.1 x64)

   In the drop down font list in InDesign, it splits fonts in the same Add Family into different groups, without giving the groups any kind of unique name so that you can tell which is which, and at the same time, it won't add both groups to the top recently-used section, such that you have to scroll down to find the missing group (and the font you just used), while having to then guess which group is the missing one. If you guess wrong, you're jumped back to the top and have to go scrolling again (or type in the font name, but the menu formatting becomes illegible then, in the sense that names are cut off and there's no longer any hierarchy, such that now you're squinting through a very long, cut-off menu, trying to find your font. It'd be helpful if the drop-down list still had some hierarchy while typing the font name, like it does when you're just scrolling through it)

   Even worse, it's having trouble finding certain added fonts, even though the whole Add Family was installed from Adobe Fonts.

   Garamond Premier Pro 'Regular' keeps disappearing in InDesign, even though the other fonts work. Medium is fine, it's the Regular that it's unhappy about. Perhaps should have been called Roman?

   (Garamond Premier gets split into a group of 22 fonts and a group of 11 Display fonts. So for example, the (22) group gets added to the recently-used fonts, but the (11) group does not, even though Display fonts are also being used. The 'Regular' font has gone pink repeatedly, even though Adobe Fonts thought it was installed. Tried removing and adding back, and InDesign has still been unable to find it)

   Thank you!

2. ?bug re bulleted lists in v18

   I have just opened an InDesign document I created in Aug 2022. I am now using InDesign v18.1 x42. It converted the document from Shivani.indd to Shivani.indd[converted], as I see it does when you open documents created in previous versions.

   However, all my bulleted lists are no longer bulleted lists, they are just text, with the bullet symbol and a single space at the start of each line. When I select the text the bulleted list icon in “Bullets and Numbering” is no longer highlighted. But more of a problem is that clicking on “options” in “Bullets and Numbering” brings up the options dialogue but everything in the box is greyed out and cannot be selected.

   Is this a known issue? A feature? A bug or unintended consequence?

   (I am using Windows 10)

3. InDesign Review Feature

   My coworker and I are both suddenly facing major problems with the review functionality with Adobe InDesign 16.1 (Windows). This has only been occurring for about 10 days. When the review function actually works instead of an error or just loading nonstop (only works 30% of the time now), the links often don't work in the end for other viewers to review and show up as an error. Now, when this works, the comments from the review link are not showing up where they were placed, and when we go in to implement them manually in InDesign from the weblink, the weblink automatically updates in real time and all comments shift over.

4. Copying a page: Wrong position

   When making a copy of a page, for example a copy of page 1, the new copy lands on a wrong position in the page palette.
   1. Click and drag page 1 in the page palette while holding the alt-key. Then move mouse to the right, until a line appears between pages 1 and 2.
   2. Releasing the mouse button should result in a copy of page 1 between the original page 1 and 2. All subsequent page numbers should increase by 1.
   3. Instead of landing on position 2, the copied page appears on position 3.

   This issue has surfaced since the version before the latest.

   System: Windows 10, Adobe Indesign 14.0.1 with all updates.

   We have released InDesign CC2019.0.2 with lot of bug fixes. If you are not on 14.0.2.324 then I would recommend you to upgrade to latest version as it is more robust.

   If you still face this issue even after updating, please provide more information to santalwa@adobe.com –
   • Reproducible Steps – What were you doing when you encountered the issue in InDesign?
   • Error snapshot or video recording of the issue?
   • Is(Are) the issue related to a specific document(s)/asset(s)? If Yes, Can you please provide the document(s)/asset(s)?
   • Does Trashing preference and cache, please create a backup of Preference and cache before trashing them, help to resolve the issue?

5. [INDD 2020 and 2021] Document fonts folder does not work with fonts for placed SVGs

   Provide a font file with the Document fonts folder for a placed SVG graphic where the font is not embedded.
   RESULT: InDesign will not use the font for rendering text with the placed SVG graphic.

   ALSO: Even if the font is installed for ALL USERS in the system on Windows 10 InDesign will not package the font that is needed with the placed SVG graphic.

   One cannot be sure what fonts are needed with placed SVG graphics. When InDesign documents are saved, closed and re-opened, Preflight and Type > Find Fonts… will not show them.

   The only check you can do:
   Export the document to IDML. Open the IDML file as document.
   Then Preflight will show a needed font inside a placed SVG graphic and Preflight could flag it if it is missing.

   Well: The missing font installed in the Documents fonts folder could even block InDesign to access the same font that is installed for all users with:
   C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\

   To solve the issue you have to do THREE things:
   [1] Move the needed font for the placed SVG file out of the Document fonts folder
   [2] Install the font for ALL USERS
   [3] Quit and restart InDesign, only then open the document again. Otherwise you get a situation where the font could show as missing if it used in a text frame elsewhere in the document like [Lemon], but is rendered correctly in a text frame. And still rendered substituted with Arial in the placed SVG graphic. See screenshot: "NoAccessToFont-EvenWhenInstalledFor-AllUsers.JPG" in my test files one can download from my Dropbox account:

   SVG-from-AI-Placed-16.4.0.51-DocumentFontsFolder.zip

6. Error with InDesign (Beta): "Some files required for color management are missing"

   Hi, when I start the just-released InDesign (Beta) on Windows ARM, I get the error "Some files required for color management are missing. Please re-install the application to ensure proper functioning".

   I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and have used the Creative Cloud Cleaner, but it doesn't resolve the issue. InDesign seems to be running OK even after getting the error, so it's more of a nuisance than anything. I may run into some issues in future with color management though.

   1. Adobe InDesign (Beta) 19.5 x64 (Mainline CI #09013C9)
   2. Launch InDesign
   3. InDesign should start without any errors.
   4. The error message in the attached screenshot appears.

7. Resized vectors not displaying properly in high quality display mode on drag

   14.0.2 x64 on Windows 10

   Steps:
   1. High Quality display mode (default settings)
   2. Place any EPS vector file.
   3. Attempt to resize it while holding ctrl-shift to maintain ratios.

   Expected result:
   The vector file, resized.

   Actual result:
   Grey box. I have to zoom in or out to get the screen to "refresh" and show the correct image.

   Similar issue happens with placed AI file. Very simple, clearly. Just a triangle. Made in the latest version of Illustrator.

   The Youtube button is an EPS.

   Related: If I use the option "Greek Vector Graphics on Drag" it performs correctly, only now I'm viewing a low res image momentarily where on a Mac I was not. It's a "fix" but it's not an acceptable solution to a feature that should work.

8. Indesign CC2018 crashes on Cmd-V

   I'm working on my masters and using a Split Window to copy and paste text from the same document into a list of references. Cmd-V crashes Indesign. With no warning, or hang, it literally shows me the desktop, no save, nothing. Thankfully auto recover sorts it out, but this is something Adobe needs to look at. I can't tell if there is anything special about the text other than it was a web link and had a paragraph style.

9. [ 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.zip

   NOTE: 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 the issue came up recently:

10. Certain dialogue boxes appear partially off screen and can't be moved back on screen

    Certain dialogue boxes appear partially off screen and can't be moved back on screen. For example, the Find/Change dialogue box and the Export dialogue box [specifically export to PDF (Print)] have both become almost unusable for me because important sections of those two boxes are located off screen. See attached screenshots. Dialogue boxes that allow you to expand them by clicking and dragging the edges/corners of the box are less of an issue - they often appear partially off screen, but once they're expanded at all, the whole dialogue box pops back into view. The Find/Change and Export dialogues do not allow this kind of expansion so that trick does not work for them. I've tried all the fixes that I've seen suggested for this issue online, including restarting my computer and changing the resolution of my displays, but none have worked. I've even updated to Windows 11 and that didn't fix it. I am using InDesign 2024 version 19.5 on Creative Cloud Desktop. There are currently no updates available for InDesign.

11. Fonts (TTF) work in InDesign 16.4 but not 17.0

    InDesign 17.0 on Windows 10 x64

    Opened document from InDesign 2021 in InDesign 2022; it was converted as part of that process. All fonts in document highlighted in pink as unavailable. Fonts are all part of Whitney family in TTF format, installed on my local computer. I verified they were still there in the fonts folder.

    Used Find/Replace font and there weren't any alerts to say the fonts weren't available, but I tried updating them anyway (including changing to Minion - which worked - and then back again to Whitney, which brought back the highlights).

    Could not export to PDF as InDesign said fonts missing.

    Closed document and opened it from within InDesign 2021 (16.4), and used convert facility convert back to 2021 format. Fonts all appeared correctly.

    I expected InDesign 2022 to be able to open TTF fonts exactly as InDesign 2021 had done. At the moment I do not have a workaround, thus making 17.0 unusable.

12. "Load paragraph styles" changes CMYK numbers

    1. Version 15.0.1, Windows. (Tested with some previous versions also.)

    2. Steps to reproduce:
       First: I'm using "Europe General Purpose 3" colour settings, which should, in general, preserve CMYK numbers during workflows.
       Create a new document A.indd. Define a new CMYK swatch S (for example, C50-M0-Y0-K0). Define a new paragraph style P which uses S as character colour.
       Create another document B.indd. Assign it some different CMYK profile than A.indd has assigned.
       Use "Load Paragraph Styles" to copy style P from A.indd to B.indd.

    3. Expected result:
       In B.indd, I expect to have swatch S with exact the same CMYK numbers than in A.indd. (That is what I get with "Load Swatches" or with copy-pasting P-formatted text from A.indd to B.indd.)

    4. Actual result:
       Slightly different CMYK numbers for swatch S in B.indd. That is, Indesign is doing CMYK-CMYK colour conversion during style load.

13. Docked palettes are collapsed when InDesign opens

    This is a problem that occurs randomly and has been happening (I think) ever since I upgraded to CC. I open up InDesign and all my palettes docked at the right of the screen are "rolled up" and I have to expand them myself. I have tried deleting preferences, deleting caches and then re-creating the palette configuration from scratch and saving it as a new workspace. This lasted for a few days and now it's back to opening like this again. I expanded them all by resetting the workspace, quit InDesign, opened it again and they were collapsed.

    Strangely, you can see the middle palette looks like they're set as flyouts when they're in the initial collapsed state (Capture.jpg), but after resetting they go back to how they should be, i.e. fully expanded panels like the ones on the right, as shown in Capture2.

    I'm on Windows 10, InDesign 13.1.

    This is a problem that occurs randomly and has been happening (I think) ever since I upgraded to CC.

14. sticky rollover state on form checkboxes and radio buttons

    I'm having an issue with checkboxes and radio buttons. I have a normal, off, rollover, and on state. The off state is 70% paper fill, the on and rollover states are slightly larger graphics with 100% fill and drop shadows, and the on state also has a green fill.

    When exported to interactive pdf, the rollover state sticks and stays even after mouse out, causing the off state to rest on top of the rollover state. If I continue to mouse over the element, the drop shadow will get thicker and increasingly darker until black.

    I'm using InDesign 16.2.1 on Windows 10 Pro.

    I've created dozens of forms and several with states like this, and have never had this issue.

15. InDesign Server taking long time to initialize

    SUMMARY
    Recently it's been taking longer than 5 minutes for InDesign Server to spin up a new instance when executed by Windows system. This issue appears to be user specific. 

    SYSTEM
    Operating system version: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
    Processors: Intel Xeon CPU E5-2690 v4 @ 2.60GHz x 4
    Adobe InDesign CC Server 2017 12.0.0.81

    ISSUE:
    InDesign server seems to be taking a long time (> 5 minutes) during initialization.

    COMMAND:
    ./InDesignServer.exe -configuration [name] -port [number]

    ANALYSIS:
    The application appears to be getting stuck either during or after executing C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC Server 2017\Scripts\converturltohyperlink\ConvertURLToHyperlinkMenuItem.jsxbin
    This issue is user specific. In this case, the user is the Windows system. When we launch the application as a different user we do not have this problem.

    ATTEMPTED SOLUTIONS:
    - Restarting the application
    - Restarting the server
    - Deleted user specific temp files in C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Indesign Server<version><locale>

    OTHER
    It's worth noting that is problem seems to be very similar to this issue:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/indesign-server-startup-memory-issues/td-p/11500657

    However, we removed the user specific temp files and the application continued to take a long time to initialize.

16. Bugs avec Windows 10 Pro

    De nombreux bugs d'utilisation des logiciels Adobe avec Windows 10 Pro (In Design / Illustrator et Photoshop).
    Dans InDesign : les fonds perdus sont ajoutés au PDF lorsqu'ils ne sont pas cochés dans les options d'export du PDF, ce n'est pas normal.
    Création de Nouveau document : les options de nouveau document ne répondent pas (dans l'interface de démarrage du logiciel et dans le logiciel par le menu), même constat dans Illustrator.
    La fenêtre "Format" n'apparaît pas toujours lorsque l'on veut l'afficher par Fichier > Format de documents... Je suis obligée de cliquer sur "Echap", car le logiciel ne répond plus. Très gênant de ne pas pouvoir modifier les formats.
    Merci de trouver des solutions à tous ces bugs présents dans la suite Adobe pour ceux et celles qui comme moi, utilisent Winsdows 10 Pro pour travailler.

17. pdf to indd conversion has no opt out

    INDD version 20.3
    Mac OS 15.4.1
    Hardware: M1 Pro 32GB RAM

    The beta feature that allows InDesign to convert PDFs does not belong in the core application. I've accidentally clicked on a PDF once or twice when trying to open my INDD doc and it takes forever for this thing to do the unwanted conversion. The cancel button does not work. I suspect it's communicating with the cloud to perform this operation, so the question is: Why is it built into Indesign? Can it not be placed in Express or Creative Cloud or somewhere else where it doesn't disrupt a person's workflow?

    If a feature like this is going to be rolled out to all users of InDesign, regardless of their needs and wants, it should at least be easy to opt out. I'm not a UI expert, but my suggestion would be to add a menu item to the drop down in the Open dialog that lets users designate that only INDD files should be opened from there. That may not be the best suggestion, but the point is: always consider how annoying it can be to use software, and, when your designing new features, make sure you're not introducing another layer of annoyance to professionals who are just trying to get their work done.

18. No warning about missing links when exporting to jpeg or png

    If I have a document with a missing link, I get a warning when exporting to PDF that there are missing links. If I am exporting a jpeg or a png of the same document, I don't get any warnings at all about missing links and simply get pixelated graphics in the output.

    Exporting to a bitmap image should have the same warnings about missing links that exporting to PDF does.

    1. InDesign 18.4 (Windows), but this has been the case for several versions now.
    2. Place a graphic, then move the linked file so that it shows up as missing. Export the page/selection as png/jpeg
    3. Before exporting, a warning should pop up to say that my export contains missing links
    4. The graphic is exported without warnings, with the missing images showing up in the output as their low-res previews

19. When duplicating page(s) the layout breaks

    I'm on windows 11.
    Since updating to 19.4 i noticed that everytime i duplicate a page it moves my whole layout around. It happens not only if i alt drag the page, also if i right click duplicate and when i made an alternate layout in the page panel. It also doesn't matter if i lock a layer. Everything gets moved a little bit to the right or the left, to the top or bottom. Sometimes it also slightly scales an image i believe. The only thing i can do against it, is copy the whole spread and paste it on a new blank page, but that's really annoying, especially since it doesn't copy it to the different layers it was on.

    The first screenshot is an example of how it's supposed to look and the second how it ends up looking if i duplicate it.

20. After IDS install or update calls to preflight() don't work unless you manually edit ExportPreflightReport.jsx

    Whenever we install or update InDesign Server we can't call preflight() unless we manually edit the ExportPreflightReport.jsx file found here:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign Server 2023\Scripts\Preflight

    We've had to do this for every version of IDS we've installed or updated (v15, v18.2.1 and 18.5). We're using Windows Server 2022 in Azure (Win64).

    I can't attach jsx or zip files but edits required are described at the bottom of this post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/problem-with-save-preflight-report-using-javascript-in-macintosh/td-p/5831477

    If we don't make these changes, calls to preflight on IDS don't produce a report. The script (ExportPreflightReport.jsx) works on InDesign Desktop.

    It would be great if IDS shipped with this ExportPreflightReport.jsx ready to go.

    Thanks.
