windows moving out of sight
I work with 2 screens. After a timeout (screen wakes up from afterdark), the floting tool windows jumped back to the main screen, partly out of sight. I can't use them anymore because the upper handle jumped above the workfield.
The problem is not solved with returning to my saved workspace.
I can only choose a standard wordspace, and have to order my tools again as prefered. (Quit anoying).
I solution could be, that you can pick up a window also at its bottom. (Is now only at the top).3 votes -
Object States panel - Renaming is not working
InDesign isn't allowing me to rename the different states in "object layer states". I have looked this up and there are a couple of other people who have posted about the same thing. I am running InDesign 16.0.2 and its on a MacBook Pro running the OS BIg Sur.
3 votesThe fix for this issue is now available in the latest update to InDesign - InDesign 17.1 available through CCD app.
Please note that you would need to update to the latest macOS Monterey 12.1 also to see this working correctly.

scale tool freeze
I am using the latest InDesign CC 2021 and my operating system is: MacOS Catalina version:10.15.4. I can't use the scale tool very often. It happens to any file, not limited to a specific file. What happens is if I use scale tool for more than 3-4 times, the software will freeze. So in the dialogue box, I am not able to click into and enter any number, it is just frozen. I can't even right-click at the app icon to select "quit", I can only force quit through Apple command.
Guess what! I just create a new Indesign file,…3 votes -

Presentation mode does not show latest text
This has been happening intermittently across the last several versions of indesign:
When entering presentation mode, I am shown an outdated version of my page. It is as if there is some kind of rendered page view cache that is not being cleared.3 votes -

ID File Finder windows always revert back to minimal size after each use
All windows in the File menu that access the Finder (Save As, Export, Place, etc) always revert back to their minimal size after using them once instead of keeping last used size. Always need to resize the window to see more items in my destination folder.

InDesign stalls with with new MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
InDesign is stalling (pausing for up to 30 second) regularly on my new MacBook Air with the Silicon M1 chip. I know it is an Intel Based program but I don't think the emulator is working. Shouldn't Rosetta 2 download automatically when I use InDesign? I presume you (the good folks at Adobe) are working to make it native to the new chip. Happy Holidays. Seth

Converting footnotes to endnotes removes inline styling
InDesign 16.0.1
macOS 10.14.6Currently if using the 'Convert Footnotes and Endnotes' function, any inline styling of the text contained within the footnote is being removed. Eg text which is formatted as italic is being converted into non-italic etc.
Fortunately this doesn't appear to affect any character styles which have been applied, but it still creates a very high risk of losing formatting.
Ideally conversion from footnotes/endnotes should not alter the content.

Save Windows on Mac OS
NOTE: This is a problem not just on InDesign, but also on Illustrator and Photoshop as well.
Ever since the last upgrade for macOS Big Sur (ver 11.1), save, package and export windows have a serious issue. They don't show the pathways of the files even when you have it set to do so. Instead all you see is the options for what to include or any other information at the bottom of the window (see the attached screen shot).
Even when you enlarge the window to be able to see the paths, it does not retain the memory that…

Cannot Export in PDF format
Adobe InDesign version: 16.0.1 x64
Platform: Windows 10, Version 20H2 (build SO 19042.685)
Problem:
Suddenly, from a couple of days, I cannot export in PDF format anymore.
When trying to export a file, I receive the message "Failed to Export PDF" (or something similar, I use the Italian version) – see image 1.It doesn’t matter the settings in the export window, I tried almost all the combinations, but the PDF generation fails.
I can export in.jpeg, for example, but it is not useful for me.Infos:
The same file has been successfully exported just a couple of hours before.…3 votes -

Images Blurry when PDFing from Book
I'm working with catalog documents in an .indb file and when PDFing from the book, without any other files open, all of the images come out looking like they are unlinked.
Images are all high resolution and linked in their individual files
I am using press quality/X1A presets with no compression set
Preflight shows no errorsThe only way to get clear images is to have every single INDD from the book open and THEN make the PDF, which, to me, defeats the purpose of the book functionality.
I don't remember this being an issue in earlier versions but i…
