Review Panel
I'm really enjoying the "Share for Review" feature in InDesign, but I am experiencing some annoying bugs in the Review panel.
Each time I click on an edit/comment in the Review panel, the program zooms out to fit the whole page in view. Every single time, I have to zoom back in to where I was before so I can get a closer view of what I'm doing.
Also, the Filter settings keep adjusting without my input. For example, if I apply a proposed edit (like deleting part of a sentence) before marking it as resolved, that comment/edit moves…

Text appears heavier over a transparent image
When text is in a layer above an image that has its basic blending mode set to "multiply" the text is rendered with a darker outline. This does not appear in the final PDF, only the preview, but it makes it extremely difficult to judge font sizes and whether text is bold.
To reproduce:
- Create text in a text box.
- Insert a JPEG image on the page.
- Use the Arrange option on the image to "send to back" so that it is in a layer below the text
- Use Effects > Transparency on the image and set its blending mode…

enorme problème d'affichage dès que je scrolle ou zoome
J'ai un énorme problème d'affichage depuis quelques temps, lorsque je scrolle mes pages sont illisibles, comme si il manquait des morceaux comme si elles s'auto-aspiraient par leur centre... ça se décale par le bord et le milieu.
ca m'est devenu très difficile de travailler, je ne sais pas comment faire.
Régulièrement ma barre d'outils disparait également.1 vote -
Some spreads gone grey and only export as blank pages in 15.1.1
I have a 48-page magazine about to go to print and three spreads have suddenly gone grey - as you see in screenshot. In the Pages panel they appear blank and when I export them - also blank. Getting worried...
Separately, the "Fit Page/Spread in Window" instead zooms in to 2,642% magnification.

frame background showing behind polygon that's been pasted into it
Indesign v18.4
Steps:
- make a rectangular frame, give it a background color
- make a polygon the same color as the page background, that intersects the edge of the frame
- cut and paste-into the polygon into the frameExpected
the combination perfectly simulates the appearance of subtracting the polygon from the rectangular frame, but in a way that preserves editability.Actual
works imperfectly: a tiny sliver of the background is visible on the edge of the rectangular frame. this very thin line gets thickened by the "enhance thin lines" function on adobe reader (but is still visible without…1 vote -
Lagging/text doubling when changing paragraph styles
When changing paragraph styles the remaining text moves, but kind of doesn't refresh without me clicking away from the frame with the cursor or zooming in. What happens is I get double text which is confusing. Crashing is happening too at this point.

Indesgin sucks at exporting interactive PDF.
Developers, answer me, please.
I used InDesign to make e-books (interactive PDF).
But every e-book was very heavy with 10 MB or more, even though I left the quality of the images at 72 or 96 DPI, and still using few images. It gets very heavy especially if you use dynamic links from Photoshop and Illustrator.
I tried everything, but I couldn't solve this problem. Is there any way to resolve this?
At Microsoft Publisher, Affinity Publisher and even Canva or Power Point it is much easier to have a light PDF with good quality images. I believe this is…2 votes -
Temporary file not working
In the company I'm working at we have our files on a server that we share. When a customer have some edits requested we get an email in our system with the changes required. Me or one of my colleagues dive in to the job and fix the things in InDesign and then send a pdf back to the customer.
This works really great and it's usually small changes here and there in quarterly and annual reports we work with.
But now it seems like the temporary file saved on the server isn't working like it used to.

Persistent graphics issues
There are STILL graphics problems in Indesign 17.2. Things disappearing off the screen that don't reappear unless you try and move them (zooming in and out doesn't work), streaks appearing across the screen.
I am so bored of the constant bugs in this app.

epub and mp3
To adobe,
I am an InDesign user, to create the e-book for the publish.Today, I face a serious problem and hope to find out a solution.
It is the problem, I insert mp3, each page around 4, the similar page around 30-40 page.
The mp3 maybe not the same on each page, it’s may different, test in the InDesign app, and all is fine.
If exported to PDF, also it is fine and could sound normally.
However, if exported to EPUB, the first 16 of the mp3 file, also means the first 4 pages can work, the rest of…

3 Bugs one Update > Edge smoothing doesnt work correctly > Effects previews and use doesent work correctly and shredderesd text >
After the last update, the following things no longer work properly:

Does not work properly for quite some time! 2.1 Completely covered areas, lines and graphics have a slight contour due to the edge smoothing and become minimally visible (although these would actually be invisible and not visible in print) or form minimally soft edges,…

Interface not accurately displaying position of objects.
This has been happening ever since CC was released, and it drives me nuts.
Example: I have a rectangle perfectly aligned to the grid, but the frame edge does not share the same screen pixel as the grid line when zoomed out. Check the image examples:2 votes -

Eyedropper doesn't pick up the correct color
I'm trying to select a color in a pdf that was placed in an InDesign document. The eyedropper won't pick up the correct color. It's consistently choosing a color that's darker than the color I want. I have zoomed in all the way so I can click on individual pixels, but that doesn't make a difference. I'm clicking on a light gray (almost white) pixel and the eyedropper is choosing a dark gray.
The layer with the pdf is the active layer and it is unlocked. I'm using InDesign CC 14.0.1

Red shapes appear on Indesign Pages
• Indesign 18.3 (but problem has persisted from earlier versions)
• Mac Book Pro with M1 Max running Ventura 13.4.1 (but problem has persisted from earlier versions)This bug has persisted since I upgraded to my current MacBook. When dealing with (usually large) documents, strange red shapes appear on the pages in . Zooming in or out or changing the view or Display Performance settings can get them to disappear, but they eventually return. They are not actual objects and I have not had any issues with crashes or with the resulting files. See the attached screen shot for…
