2. Crop Marks not displaying correctly with indesign 2025

   My bleed is set to 10mm on all sides, and I've clicked to offset the crop marks by 10mm also. In the exported PDF though, the bleed amount is included but the crop marks show to cut at the bleed line rather than the cut line if that makes sense! See screenshot. Please help - need to submit signage artwork today and would only take 2 secs to do if this would work as it always has done in the past!!!

3. the first letter of the heading does not appear in the result.

   Adobe Indesign (19.0 : 20.0) 2024-2025 / Mac os Sequoia 15.0.1
   When using a Text Variable (Running Header ‹Paragraph Style›) and applying it to fully diacritized Arabic text, the first letter of the heading does not appear in the result. This issue arises when exporting to PDF.
   open indesign and Type the fully diacritized Arabic text, Assign paragraph sytle, go to Text variable - Define - New - Running Header «Paragraph Style» - Assign.
   The text is expected to display correctly without errors; however, contrary to this, the first letter of the fully diacritized text does not appear. This issue arises when exporting to PDF.
   The test files and illustrative screenshots of the issue are attached.

5. Whenever I use psd files in the links the pdf export file becomes huge like 10x bigger than when I a flatted version

   I have a digital catalogue and in working with lots of psd in the links. To create a small pdf I have to instead of links the psd, to export to png and than put it in the indesign. This is a hassle when I have to edit the psd because i hav to take so many extra steps for a minor adjustment. Instead Indesign shoulde be handling the images conversion and flatening. And yes, I'm checking the export only appearce on the export.
   The app is up to date and recently I had to format my pc so reinstalling didnt solve it. Its been and issue i had for some time

7. JPG and PDF export only exports part of file

   I have a huge document (164 x 44 in) that has a number of imported InDesign documents as well as multiple PDFs for a museum exhibit. When I export to PDF and JPG, only parts of it come through. Luckily, I only needed to export the components for print – the 164 x 44 doc was only used as a layout tool for the wall. But I wanted to report this bug. It exported fine until the central mural image was scaled up to size and converted to CMYK, so it may be an issue with memory, though I think it should still work.

   I am using InDesign 19.5 on an Apple M1 Max with 64 GB memory, Sonoma 14.4.1.

   The same thing happens on another doc that is 210x44, but I just uploaded this one.

   The ID file is 768 mb, so I've just provided screen shots. I'd be happy to upload the file if you'd like to investigate.

   Thanks!

   The upload didn't work (error: did not recognize image size). I scaled down the jpg.

8. full stop vanishes in right to left languages

   When producing Arabic documents in InDesign (which we have been doing for over 30 years) we have recently notice that when saving to PDF that full stops that are at the end of the justified text (parallel to the edge of the text box) disappear in the PDF.

9. Acrobat extension for Chrome renders sheared rectangles incorrectly in PDF exported from InDesign CC 2022 / 24

   Filled sheared rectangles in PDF documents exported from InDesign are rendered incorrectly in the Adobe Acrobat extension for Chrome, but displays as expected in other PDF readers [ Preview, Safari, Quickview, etc. ]. The sheared rectangles are displayed as a box of the fill colour with the outer bounds of the sheared shape. Adding a stroke suggests the sheared rectangle is preserved, but is not honoured by the fill.

   Work around: Adding an additional anchor point, or rounding the corners, appears to correct this issue.

   Apple Macbook Pro [ M1 Pro, 32Gb, macOS Sonoma 14.5 (23F79) ]
   Adobe InDesign CC 2022 [ 17.2.0.20 ] and Adobe InDesign CC 2024 [ 19.2.0.46 ]

10. Version 19.4 - InDesign mangles keywords so that they are not searchable

    Placement of a valid keyword searchable PDF or EPS file into InDesign and subsequent export to PDF leads to mangling of original words with the addition of one letter from another word.

11. Bleed marks export outside of bleed area

    Document is set up as pages and with .125 bleed on all sides. When I export with bleed marks and select "use document bleed settings" or manually type in .125 on all sides, the bleed marks appear just OUTSIDE of the bleed.

12. Randomly occuring corruption in PDF export.

    Two variations of this issue. Both occur when processed by a Fiery RIP. Screen Preview and PitStop show nothing wrong.

    1) PDF starts to RIP, but partway through it fails.

    2) PDF RIPs, but (some) sections of text containing ligatures are substituted for completely wrong glyphs.

    In both cases, re-RIPing the same PDF gets the same error, but exporting a new PDF solves it. (It occasionally takes more than one attempt at re-exporting)

    We also use Xmpie to generate personalized letters, and the glyph error text issue will start at some increment of 100 records and last exactly 100 records before resolving itself and printing correctly.

    This behavior is new, staring when we updated to InDesign 19.#

    Since discovering the glyph substitution issue was only happening to blocks of text that had ligatures, I've started disabling them in our files. I've only been doing so for about a week, but so far I haven't seen that issue happen again, though the exported PDFs still occasionally fail to RIP entirely.

13. pdf export failure background task

    hello,

    my indesign (19.4) doesn't want to export the pdf file for print, which is really annoying.

    1) all photos are cmyk;
    2) all colors are cmyk;
    3) if i export the pdf in pages as separate files, it works.

    otherwise no can do. pic attached.

    it is the second project this situation occurs and the first time the workaround was to save the file again, with another name, then work with this new copy.

    also i mention that the indesign file seems very large (177 mega), although it has 42 pages only... may be some pics are big and cannot be rendered properly? i attach a pic from the folder where i exported the pages as pdf files separately. there are pdf having over 300 mega!! crazy.

    i would like to know what's going on... indesign bugs? too large pictures from my side, difficult to render in pdfs for print?

    thanks and cheers!

15. I can't export pdfs with broken Hyperlinks? It considers an Apple Shortcut link as a broken URL?

    I added URLs with Apple Shortcut link (Shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=***) and I couldn't export as pdf due to broken hyperlinks. It used to work before and Now it keeps giving me an error message whenever I try to export it.

    Update: exporting pdf doesn't work with no apparent broken links or apple shortcut links

16. Export Interative PDF

    The crash/error occurs when I export the interactive pdf with a little over 2000 pages at the almost end of the exporting process. so I downgraded the version of InDesign to 18v and now it works fine. Still, I have many files already made with updated indesign (19v).

    I am a Mac OS user.
    Please please fix this issue. I desperately need this to be fixed for my work.

17. interactive pdf export hangs forever

18. Can't export pdf from InDesign then InDesign closes

    I can't export a pdf from InDesign, then InDesign itself closes (no crash report, even though I changed the setting so I can see one). This issue has only started today (18 December); the last time I exported a pdf was 4 days ago and it was fine. I'm using Windows Pro 10, have updated InDesign to the latest version, restarted the computer and tried various settings. Please help! I have a client waiting for the document and I can't deliver it. With thanks.

20. InCopy cannot export assets that were inserted from CC Library into PDF - link reported as missing

    The only way to export Notes from InDesign into PDF is to use InCopy, however exporting to PDF form InCopy is now compromised, because any assets in the document inserted from CC Library are reported as missing.
