1. [ID-4257184]InDesign 2025(v20.0) Performance issues: Delay or beach balls on basic operations

   Problem: 

   InDesign Performance issues: Delay or beach balls observed on basic operations on Macintosh

   Steps to Reproduce:

   No reliable reproducible steps

   Impacted workflows:

   • Switching to InDesign

2. [ID-4219732]Slow performance

   Lately InDesign is nearly unusable. Almost every action from selecting objects, resizing objects, or moving objects comes with a really slow reaction time. Even when clicking between panels in the toolbar there is a delay of about half a second.

   I have tried ruling out potential issues like updating graphic drivers and embedding all resources into the document. Nothing works it seems like the application is just unstable. Please advise, I love to work with indesign but this is overall a very bad user experience.

   Customer comments

   • InDesign lags when rearranging text boxes, adding image frames, adjusting frames that already exist
   • Selecting an item (e.g. text frame) in small and really uncomplicated documents has slight but very noticeable delays/lags, almost as if the click hangs and makes the item drag a little instead of just being selected.
   • Performance degradation is observed if more than 1 document is opened
   • Creating packages (File > Package) takes so much time – especially collecting image files into the Links-folder. This behavior is generally observed with Illustrator files.
   • Performance degradation is observed while working on indd document and not with the IDML of the indd document.
   • Lag observed for almost every action from selecting objects, resizing objects, or moving objects

   Troubleshooting steps tried to resolve issues

   • Disable 3rd party plugins - One of the customer has tried with Suitcase Fusion but there was no improvement in the performance.

   Workarounds

   • Change the name of the image folder to disable the dynamic links to picture.
   • Exporting the document to IDML and working on it. Once the document is saved, the performance degradation is observed.
   • Disabling network and internet helps in improving the performance.

   Next Steps 

   • Please provide the number of links in the document when you start facing performance issues
   • Does turning off Links panel help improve performance?
   • Where do you link image from Local/Network/Shared Drives(One drive, Drop box etc)
   • All the machines mentioned in the UserVoice thread are intel based. Performance for Apple Silicon/M1/M2 machines is way better than Intel machines. Is there any user who is using Apple Silicon/M1/M2 and facing performance issues.

4. [ID-4257733]The amount of “Indent to Here” in a paragraph with a “Text Wrap” object at the beginning of the line is wider than usual.

   1. Version of Adobe InDesign Windows CC2023-2024

   3. Expected result Wrap at "Indent to Here"
   4. Actual result A gap is created where the "Text Wrap" is added to the wrap of "Indent to Here".

   In a Bulleted list as shown in the video, Left Indent and First Line Left Indent is typically used.

   Why is "Indent to Here" being used in a Bulleted list?

   Try closing the document that shows the Background Tasks as queued. If the Auto-Activate Adobe Fonts option has been selected and you are connected to the internet, fonts in your document should get auto-activated.
   Please try once again and let us know.

7. [ID-4216893]Interactive PDF go to destination not working

   Using InDesign CC 2019 14.0.1

   I have a 24 page report designed for print, with an additional layer which when visible adds interactive buttons to the top left corner of each page so I can also export an interactive PDF. The buttons are:

   Go to previous page
   Go to next page
   Go to destination linking to the contents page

   The document also contains URL hyperlinks and the contents links to each section of the report using bookmarks, but is not set up as a TOC. I'm not using any functions under the SWF/EPUB only section.

   When exported as an interactive PDF the Next Page, Previous Page, contents bookmarks and URL hyperlinks all work as expected, but the contents button using Go to Destination appears to do nothing.

   I tried using a bookmark, hyperlink destination and text anchor and none worked in Go to Destination once exported. I also tried both On Release or Tap and On Click as the event with no success.

   I tried setting up a brand new document just with a button using Go to Destination linking to a bookmark on release or tap and this worked when exported. I moved the pages of the report across to the new document, it stopped working.

   I started again with a new document and Go to Destination button. Again worked on export. I added Next and Previous page buttons, stopped working.

   We have three other documents currently live in the studio which use Go to Destination buttons. One is working on export. Two are not working. Of those two, one includes Next and Previous buttons, one does not and only contains Go to Destination buttons. My file is an update of a file created in an older version of InDesign. The other three are brand new documents created in the latest version of InDesign.

   When we have had problems with interactive functions not exporting in the past, we have been able to save the files as IDMLs then export from there with success but this is also not working anymore . The work around we currently have is to edit the button within Acrobat itself, but this is tedious given the original buttons were all on the master page and should be an easy export.

   Screenshots attached of the action that is exporting with Go to Destination when opened in Acrobat. Also a screen shot of the button set up (file name redacted)

   Using InDesign CC 2019 14.0.1

   I have a 24 page report designed for print, with an additional layer which when visible adds interactive buttons to the top left corner of each page so I can also export an interactive PDF. The buttons are:

9. M1 Mac Graphic Problems Continue

   As others have mentioned InDesign graphic performance on M1 Macs is unacceptable. This was marked as "fixed" but it continues with macOS Ventura 13.0.1 and InDesign 18. For example, the screen does not always redraw when scrolling or jumping to a different page until you move your pointer. Switching to a different program and then back to InDesign also fixes the problem for a while. It doesn't matter whether GPU Performance is on or off. This is the most fundamental functionality. Please figure it out and fix it once and for all.

10. Preserve Image Dimensions when Relinking and "Auto-fit" options do not seem to work.

    I am using Indesign 14.0

    When I relink files, Indesign changes the scale and placement of images automatically, regardless of whether the preserve image dimensions option in the file handling box is checked or unchecked, and whether the "auto-fit" button in the tool menu is checked or uncheked.

    Preferences > File Handling > "Preserve Image Dimensions when Relinking"

12. installed font missing

    InDesign 13.0.1 on macOS 10.12.6

    One installed font from a family of 6 suddenly started showing as not found. Frutiger LT Pro 67 Bold Condensed was correctly showing, now not.

    I have re-installed InDesign twice, reinstalled the font, and rebooted several times. Font is correctly showing still in Illustrator and Photoshop.

    This is impacting client files and while I have a workaround, I am concerned the problem will occur with other fonts where I don't have a viable solution. (I have another foundry version of that particular font.)

    Screen shots attached.

    many thanks

13. Auto-size text boxes with rounded corners expands randomly.

    Version 2018, 13.0

    Set a text box to auto size height and width (with no line breaks)
    Make the corners rounded
    As you can see in the attached jpgs of before and after, sometimes the box expands in width and sometimes in height, but randomly, not wrapping around the text correctly.

    Is the issue only specific to 13.0? What is the reference point for the autosize?

14. Share for Review SYNC Broken

    I use "Share" > "Share for Review" on a Program for review by multiple departments for edits. I received notifications of over 200 edits, but upon opening the InDesign file to begin changes, the "Window" > "Comments" > "Review" Panel data is empty and again says "Create Review".

    So the connection from my online review and the source InDesign is broken. Additionally, there is no option to save that online version as a pdf to import the comments via that option in "Window" > "Comments" > "PDF Comments"

15. inDesign 2020 removed the zoom view box from the top menu bar

    This user is much unhappy that inDesign 2020 no longer provides the zoom view box that appeared in the top menu bar, directly to the right of the help tab. That was a fast, easy way to change the view size of the file in the screen.

    I was told by Adobe that this feature was dropped because the screen size view could be achieved by other existing features. Sure... now one must pull down a tab, then go to another command and activate a feature like zoom in and zoom out. And that only shifts the view in or out by one factor, whereas the zoom view box at the top menu bar would let you instantly jump the view in our out by 3 or 4 "sizes."Count me as a most unhappy user who will stay with inDesign 2109.

    By the way... inDesign 2020's menu bar is now empty to the right of "help." So what was gained taking this highly useful feature away? And why not give users the option to have that zoom view menu feature in one of the pre-sets like "Essentials Classics"? I will grumble once more about my unhappiness at the loss of this important feature and the hubris of Adobe engineers to drop such a valuable element of this software.

    The change was made to reduce the UI clutter for the user and it was moved to the bottom left of the screen in the Status bar where other controls like page navigation, preflight profiles, etc. are available.

    To continue using this feature, we can suggest a simple workaround which takes less than a minute to accomplish – just open the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, choose Views, Navigation from the Product Area drop-down, select the ‘Access zoom percentage box’ from the list of commands and assign a shortcut – example, Ctrl-Alt-5. You can customize the keyboard shortcuts as you like and save a new Keyboard Shortcut Set.

    Meanwhile, we are reviewing this request.

    Hi,

    We are aware of one scenario where the issue is reproducible. The workaround resolves the known scenario as stated below:

    • Open the document in InDesign 19.5.
    • Export it to IDML.
    • Open the IDML in InDesign 20.0.

    Please share the document with us at sharewithID@adobe.com.

17. Text cursor disappears - Mojave and InDesign CC 13.1

    After upgrading to Mac OSX Mojave (10.14), using InDesign CC 13.1 ME, the text cursor disappears. All other cursors appear as expected. This happens both with the standard Text tool, and the ME Text tool.

18. Exporting to PNG file on network drive doesn't work

    There appears to be a bug when exporting PNG files to network mapped drives in Mac OS X 10.13.4 (Darwin) Adobe InDesign 2018 (latest version).

    This is in a domain environment using domain credentials. You export the file as PNG and it doesn't appear in the folder as expected. If I export to desktop it works fine, if I copy it from desktop to the share it copies fine. Just cannot export directly.

    Hello,
    Can you confirm the InDesign version you are using? Is it 2018.1 or 2018?
    I assume the path to which you are trying to export the PNG is /Volumes/Shares/011 Changed Information/002 Changed Information/00617 Changed Information/Changed/ ?

    Is this drive mounted via SMB?
    Is it a NAS server?

19. Cursor spins and text display lags while typing

    ISSUE: While typing, text display will freeze/lag, and the cursor will change to a loading icon for about 2 seconds, then the text will finally appear all at once after the loading icon changes back to a regular cursor. This happens while typing in a regular text box.

    EXPECTED RESULT: I expect text to appear on screen immediately as I press the key on the keyboard, not after a 2 second lag.

    Version: InDesign CC 13.0 x64

20. CC library tab won't select?

    When clicking on the dropdown menu to select a CC library, the tabs do not open unless I hold down the ^ button. When opened, I cannot select a CC library. Have refreshed several times but it still doesn't let me change the library! This is on InDesign for Mac.
