1. InDesign 21.3 (2026) Share for Review Comments Unmapped on Desktop

   This is an ongoing, years-long problem. When people comment via an Indesign Share for review link, the list of comments appears on the desktop app as unmapped/no pins. However, if you view the link online, you can see the same comments with pins where the commenters dropped them. It's a much more cumbersome workflow having to go to a different window to see all of the feedback. I don't know why this continues to be a problem.

3. Wheel of death when placing images

   Lately, the spinning wheel has been appearing, especially when I place a photo via drag-and-drop, but also when I use the "Place" command from the menu. When the spinning wheel appears (and stays there), I can close or save the document, but the undo/redo functions no longer work, other functions work limited. After closing all documents, I have to force-quit the application; otherwise, InDesign won’t close. When I reopen it, sometimes it loads previously closed documents with recovery, even though I closed them myself. The "CPU Preview / Preflight Off" mode doesn’t work. I work with local documents (I don’t use CC Libraries, etc.).

   Objects with outer glow or drop shadow display the effect in the wrong location.

   You can see the expected out come and then the glow effects in the completely wrong locations in the other image.

5. Linked Illustrator Files Not Displaying Correctly in InDesign

   We are experiencing an issue where Illustrator (.ai) files with linked assets are not displayed correctly when placed in InDesign.

   InDesign does not properly render or recognize the linked content inside the Illustrator file, which affects preview and output accuracy. Currently, the only workaround is to embed all links in Illustrator before placing the file, which increases file size and slows down the workflow.

   Please advise if there is a fix or recommended workflow for handling linked assets between Illustrator and InDesign.

6. 21.2 Acting Strange

   I updated to 21.2 and ever since then, I have had these things happen:
   1. Freezes (beach ball spinning)
   2. Unable to "undo" (the undo is greyed out and Indesign seems to have no memory of the last event
   3. Icons get stuck. When I change tools, it still is showing the magnifying glass tool not the selection or type tool. But I acts like that tool is active (so can type text, but shows magnifying glass icon)
   4. Is crashing A LOT! And it has been years since I have had any issues with Indeisgn crashing.

   Anyone know what is goin on? I updated my OS and also tried numerous restarts and reboots. I am on a MacBook Pro running Taho 26.4

7. [ID-4277180]InDesign v21.2.0.030 crashes on quit in SubProcess

   Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
   Adobe InDesign 2026, Version 21.2.0.30 (Build 21200)
   Running on macOS 26.2 (25C56) on Apple Silicon (Mac14,2, 16 GB RAM)
   Steps to reproduce the issue
   1. Launch Adobe InDesign 2026.
   2. Open any document (or create a new blank document).
   3. Work normally for a while, or even do nothing.
   4. Choose “InDesign > Quit InDesign” or press Cmd+Q.
   5. Confirm quitting if prompted.
   Expected result
   InDesign quits cleanly without any error message and returns to the macOS desktop.
   Actual result
   • InDesign crashes on quit every time.
   • macOS shows a crash dialog stating that “Adobe InDesign 2026 quit unexpectedly” (or similar wording).
   • The macOS crash report shows:
   • Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
   • Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 6, “Abort trap: 6”
   • Crash is triggered in Thread 10.
   • This happens even after:
   • Resetting InDesign preferences on launch.
   • Deleting InDesign caches and preference folders in the user Library.
   • Completely uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign via Creative Cloud.
   • Testing in a brand-new macOS user account.
   Additional context
   • The same InDesign version (21.2.0.30) on my previous Mac and macOS version did not show this problem; the issue started only after migrating to the new Mac (same InDesign version, newer macOS).
   • No third‑party plug‑ins are installed (or all third‑party plug‑ins have been removed for testing).
   • The crash occurs regardless of which document is open; even a new, empty document triggers the crash on quit.

   Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
   Adobe InDesign 2026, Version 21.2.0.30 (Build 21200)
   Running on macOS 26.2 (25C56) on Apple Silicon (Mac14,2, 16 GB RAM)

8. "Repair file" Pops up when trying to 'Save' a file... InDesign closes without saving

   When opening an InDesing file with the new 2026 version, the file opens without any issues at all.
   No missing links, no missing fonts. Opens OK.

   When trying to save that file, which was created by previous InDesign version (2025), InDesign encounters an issue while saving. A pop-up asks if I want to "Repair the file". I hit the "Repair" button. InDesign app closes abruptly.

   So, I used another way to save the file without 'Saving As', nor replacing the file.

   I opened the exact same file made with a previous version of InDesign, hit 'Save as', select IDML, and the app didn't crash. I close the InDesing file. I erase the InDesign file from my folder.

   Then:

   Opened the IDML file, hit 'Save As > InDesign 2026'.
   The file saves as InDesign.
   No pop-up.

   I close the IDML file.
   Open the recently saved InDesign (2026).

   No more issues.

9. Severe InDesign Performance Issues

   I’m reporting severe and ongoing performance problems with InDesign that are significantly affecting day-to-day work.

   The application has become consistently slow and laggy during normal use — including delays when clicking, saving, zooming, switching pages, placing assets, and general UI responsiveness. At times, even simple actions take several seconds and the software feels almost unusable.

   While performance is worse when working from Dropbox-synced folders, the same lag and delays also occur when working with files stored fully locally. This suggests the issue is not limited to cloud storage and may be a broader performance problem within InDesign itself.

   This behavior is happening across regular production files and is causing major productivity loss for our workflow.

   Please investigate and prioritize improvements to overall performance and stability. InDesign is currently much slower than other Adobe applications and has become difficult to use efficiently.

   Thank you for your assistance.

10. Lenteur extrême indesign 2026

    Bonjour,
    depuis environ 1 semaine (dernière mise à jour 21.1 x64 d'InDesign sur PC), chaque lettre ajoutée à un document dans InDesign 2026 met presque 10 secondes avant d'apparaître et que je puisse agir de nouveau sur mon document. Même chose pour sélectionner un mot ou pour effectuer la moindre action dans un texte en cours d'édition. seule le curseur bouge normalement, mais il disparaît tant que l'action en cours n'a pas été réalisée.
    J'ai désinstallé et réinstallé InDesign en supprimant les préférences. rien n'a changé.
    J'ai réinitialisé les préférences et rien n'a changé.
    Mon système est très récent :
    - Processeur : AMD Ryzen 7 7700 8-Core Processor (3.80 GHz)
    - Mémoire RAM installée : 32,0 Go (31,1 Go utilisable)
    - Système d’exploitation 64 bits, processeur x64
    - Windows 11 Famille - Version 25H2 - Installé le ‎11/‎07/‎2025
    Build du système d’exploitation 26200.7623
    Carte graphique : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050

    C'est une panne critique pour moi car en tant qu'éditeur, je ne peux plus travailler correctement ni rapidement sur les livres en cours alors que tout allait bien avec ces mêmes dossiers il n'y a que quelques jours.
    Merci de me donner une solution qui rétablisse le fonctionnement normal d'InDesign.
    bien cordialement,
    Jean-Louis KERVAHUT.

12. Tables and text randomly disappear in Adobe InDesign document

    While working in Adobe InDesign, tables and text frames intermittently disappear from the document, even though their frames and guides are still visible. As shown in the attached image, content that should be displayed (tables and text) is no longer visible on the page layout.

    This issue occurs during normal editing and navigation of the document and does not appear to be related to hidden layers or visibility settings. The problem affects document review and editing, making it difficult to verify content accuracy.

13. ePub synthetic spread export not including xml / html language tags

    1. Version 21.0

    2. When exporting a Fixed Layout EPUB with the <Enable Synthetic Spreads> option, the language tags are not exporting in the HTML, which is an issue for accessibility. The language tags ARE exported properly when the <Convert Spread to Landscape Page> option is chosen, so this clearly seems to be a glitch with this particular export option.

    3. I would expect the following code to be at the top of each of the HTML files <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en" xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops">, and this at the top of the OPF file: <package xmlns="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" version="3.0" unique-identifier="bookid" prefix="ibooks: http://vocabulary.itunes.apple.com/rdf/ibooks/vocabulary-extensions-1.0/" xml:lang="en">

    4. However, the exported files have the following code, which misses the xml language tags:
       HTML: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops">
       OPF: <package xmlns="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" version="3.0" unique-identifier="bookid" prefix="ibooks: http://vocabulary.itunes.apple.com/rdf/ibooks/vocabulary-extensions-1.0/">

    This is causing a LOT of manual work for my team and turning into a big time suck. It seems like something that could be a relatively easy fix on the development side... so we'd REALLY appreciate you prioritizing it! Especially with the recent EAA guidelines for ePub accessibility, this is a critical aspect of the ePub export.

16. incorrect shadow from a group of objects

    If you add a shadow to a group consisting of several graphic objects and at least one text object, the shadow behaves unpredictably when you move the group. Despite the values ​​set in the corresponding settings window, it may change direction, density, blur distance, etc.

17. Adobe InDesign 20.5 - InDesignEPS Import: UnmatchedMark error.

    Has anyone found a fix for this error "EPS Import: UnmatchedMark error" when placing a vector into InDesign? This has been a feature between programs for as long as I can remember and it is really frustrating that so many comments tell you "not" to do this as it is bad practice. It is definitely part of my workflow and helps create smaller, cleaner files, and streamlined, accurate colour palettes.

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D 16-Core Processor
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
    Display: ASUS ProArt PA279CRV @3840x2160
    RAM: 64GB DDR5 @6000 MT/s
    Storage: Samsung SSD 9100 PRO 2TB

    There are mainly 3 issues, that have not improved with the new version:

    1. Animated zoom is broken; it's laggy, and does not zoom in on the actual point of focus where you click with your cursor, making it worse and slower to use than CPU Preview's regular zoom, and in many cases it literally zooms you in on a point outside the artboard and out of your page. The same issue was described in an older bug and was marked as "fixed" when in fact it wasn't. (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/50037261--id-4264855-issue-with-animated-zoom-in-gpu )

    2. Panning/using the hand tool while zoomed in on a page containing pictures, with "Display Performance" set to "High Quality Display", with GPU Accelerated Preview is slow and causes massive stutters compared to CPU Preview, its stuttering is very irregular it ends up causing eye strain and headaches after long use. The issue is not present with "Typical Display", but at that stage the performance is the same as CPU Preview so makes you wonder what's the point.

    3. When working on a text layout and adjusting the flow of the text, when the end of the text moves from the last page to the page before, GPU Preview sometimes keeps a ghost of the last page containing text, even though the page before is now showing the updated content. CPU Preview shows it correctly. It can only be fixed by entering some new text into the original "last" page forcing it to refresh the preview.

    The first two issues are constant and are the most critical, as they make InDesign quite frustrating to use, and make GPU acceleration completely useless.

    I couldn't add a video of #3 as the content of the pages was confidential, but will try to take a video when it happens again on a different document.

20. ID2026 Export Issues

    Exporting PDFs and IDML files in ID2026 is taking far longer than it does to do the same export in 2025, and I'm losing almost all of the hyperlinks on parent pages when exporting to IDML.
