2. IDML custom page sizes

   When using an INDD file with custom page sizes, IDML export does not keep Master Page and Document Pages aligned properly, because it registers them as different sizes.

   Even if the pages are the same.

3. InDesign CC 2018 crashes when copying a text box

   I just downloaded ID CC 2018 and every time I copy and paste a text box, whether inside the same document or a different one, the entire program crashes.

   Hello All,

   We have fixed a number of crashes with InDesign’s latest Nov’17 update.
   Please download the latest InDesign version (InDesign CC 13.0.1) for the fix.

   List of crashes and other issues that have been fixed with the update can be found at the below provided link:
   https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/release-note/indesign-cc-13-0-1.html

   If you are unable to see the update yet, go to Creative Cloud application, click on the context menu on the top right and click on Check for App Updates.

4. Guides/Gridlines too thin/difficult to see on Retina display

   Not sure if really a 'bug', but since upgrading to Apple Retina iMacs, everyone in my office is having trouble seeing gridlines, margins, and guides in the interface. The lines are just extremely thin on Retina displays. I have excellent vision and I find them difficult to see. Other employees with glasses are really struggling. We could really use something in the preferences to slightly increase the thickness of guides.

5. [InCopy] is very slow with some projects, even on a very fast Computer

   We often see a pretty significant drop in performance in InCopy for no apparent reason. This seems to occur on random Projects. As far as i could test there was no correlation with the number of InCopy Files or the complexity of the layout.

7. Links from CC Library suddely missing and can't be relinked

   I sometimes have a problem with links from the CC Libraries, the links work fine when I save and close the file. But then sometimes when I open the INDD-file the day after it says that the links are missing, and when I try to relink it just say that "Either the file doesn't excist, you do not have read permissions to it or the file is used in another application".

   But none of the options in the dialog box are correct, the files in the library still works fine in other documents. I have no idea how to fix my indd-file without starting all over and as you can imagine, this is a big problem for me.

9. Anchored frame looses the XML tag information as soon as anchor is released/anchor point is moved forward.

   Steps to reproduce

   1. Create an anchored text/graphic frame with some inline text/image. Tag the frame with some XML Tag (say 'tag1').

   2. Now release the anchor.

   Expected output
   - On releasing the anchor, there should be no changes in the XML tag on frame.

   Actual output
   - On releasing the anchor, the frame gets untagged.

   Additional note: Similar thing happens when anchor is moved forward to another position in inline text. In this case also, frames gets untagged

10. CC'15-'17 All hyperlinks missing/removed after round trip with InCopy editors

    I am a designer and build corporate white papers anywhere from 35-100+ pages in length. We use the layout InCopy workflow with one assignment and all stories exported under that. After I import and design/format all content including hyperlinks, I then save for the editors for use in InCopy. They then do their work, and save for me, standard. Upon opening, all the hyperlinks are missing with a "red flag" denoting the ref. is missing . Oddly enough, for the past two documents we made, you could still export to PDF with the links functioning, this despite all the missing URL info in the hyperlinks panel. It seems embedded but not recognized. Sometimes you can right click on a link in the ID layout and it will also "go to destination," but the info is not present in the hyperlinks panel. Because the functionality was there for us, we ignored the hyperlinks panel for 2 major docs. With the latest document, the same thing happened, only this time we lost functionality too, which brought me here looking for answers. Hope this gets fixed, as I had to manually input 100+ links to finalize our document today! A couple variables: Our InCopy users are on PCs, where I am on a Mac. We also use 'Box' for file sync, primary stations are designer in the US and editors in Dublin.

12. Placing and Moving Images Changes Opacity

    If I place an image and then try to move it within the bounding box, the opacity appears to change to around 50%. However, the opacity is still set to 100%. I can correct it by hitting Undo which reverts the image back to normal. From what I can tell, it is only a visual bug. Exporting the image doesn't show the change in opacity.

    I haven't been able to reproduce this issue consistently but would say it happens around 80% of the time I try to move an image. Another interesting thing is that if the issue happens and I duplicate the image and change it's opacity, the original image reverts to normal again.

    This is working as it should – that is, duplicating the selected object.

    Please update to the latest available version of InDesign (13.1) via Creative Cloud application. Before launching InDesign, delete the Application Preferences and Caches to ensure that any corrupt preferences are not causing this issue to happen.

    Please let us know if you still experience this issue.

    Thanks,

15. InDesign 21.1 x64 on PC: panels not expanding when clicking on the icon

    Panels sometimes do not expand when clicking on an icon in the right-hand column of panels. It seems random. Sometimes the panel you choose expands when you click on the icon (as it should), but sometimes you have to click the two little chevrons pointing leftward at the top of the column of icons, which makes them all expand and it's a mess to work with. Only the one you click on should expand, but sometimes it doesn't.

    This isn't a new bug. There were previous submissions about this and the issue was supposedly resolved, but it is NOT. The comments are closed, so I couldn't comment on there that the issue is not resolved. This has been happening ever since the first upgrade at the beginning of the year. I'm on the latest update and still having this issue.

16. How do you disable the new "Alt Text" icon that shows in the lower-left corner of image frames?

    It's like the AI feature that was added in Illustrator. I can't find an option to disable it and it's very distracting. It looks like a mistake in the artwork and will stay the same size regardless of zoom level. Disabling the two Alt Text features in Generative AI preferences did NOT fix this.

17. PDF comments UI bug

    In the panel for "pdf comments" you can set a filter to show only some types of comments. If you open this panel, all "comment type fields" are unselected – although they can all be seen in the document (screenshot 1). This is a mistake. All the fields should be selected at this point.

    If you click on one or more types, only these types will be displayed in the InDesign document. Correct behavior now. (Screenshot 2)

    Tested with InDesign 2026 21.1 and 2026 Prerelease 21.2

19. [ID-4272075] Interactive PDF Buttons: Button bounding area expands after file conversion from older version to 21.0

    1. InDesign 2026 v21.0.1

    2. I've just verified and reproduced this interactive PDF button display bug by first confirming that several archived versions of the interactive PDF (created from archived InDesign Source files), all function perfectly and as expected. It is ONLY by opening one of those older, archived InDesign source file in the current 2026 v21.0.1 and exporting a new copy of that same Interactive PDF that the buttons all appear differently when clicked.

    3. The expected result is to have interactive buttons that look clean and functional when clicked.

    4. The actual result (only when exporting the Interactive PDF from the current version of InDesign, never before from previous versions), is that all the interactive buttons now show a black bounding box that surrounds and extends up above and beyond the boundaries of the buttons themselves. It's visual display bug specifically on buttons. This remains true even when the buttons DO NOT have any hover or click states assigned. It's a button element issue, not a visual state issue. (Although the Hover state has always been glitchy or "sticky" which is annoying, but not as bad as the black bounding box described here.

    5. Screenshot examples from the exported interactive PDF have been provided.

    Workaround:
    1. Export the test document to IDML and use the IDML to export to Interactive PDF
    2. Recreating the button entirely in InDesign 21.0 restores the correct clickable area. However, this is not ideal for users working with older templates containing many pre-existing buttons.

    Hi,

    Thank you for reporting the issue. We have been able to reproduce the issue, and it is currently under investigation.

20. Make it possible to anchor a graphic to the beginning of a paragraph without five or six tries and two or three zooms

    It'll go AFTER the first letter…it'll go some random place in the first FEW letters, but before the first one? Especially if the first one is a sans-serif letter "I"? HAHAHAHAHAH! No. Not without cajoling, retrying, zooming, threatening, and telling it what a good little cursor it is.

    I realize this isn't an exciting problem, but it's been literally decades of this feature being…what's the technical term…bad.
