1. AGLFN: ZWJ, ZWNJ, ZWS in PDF

   Indesign is not written ZWJ (U+200D), ZWNJ (U+200C), ZWS (U+200B) with its glyph name uni200D, uni200C, uni200B respectively.

   This is not helping in copying the text with ZWJ (U+200D), ZWNJ (U+200C), ZWS (U+200B) from PDF.

   These non-printing characters are copied has "space" instead.

   These non-printing characters in Indic scripts are part of text. With and without these characters, text can changes its meaning.

   Please support these characters with AGLFN glyph names in fonts in Indesign, PDF export feature.

2. Profiles equal to the Output-Intend get lost on PDF-Export

   When exporting a PDF all profiles equal to the Output-Intend (which in my case is the Document-Colorspace PSO Coated V3) get lost when exporting.

   I have created a small test-file with an PSO Coated V3 Image and an ISO Coated V2 Image.

   When Exporting as PDF X4 with Output-Intend Set to PSO Coated V3 the Image that IS PSO Coated V3 looses its profile and the same for the ISO Coated V2 when the Output-Intend is set to that.

   This is horrible for Colormanagement. I've been in contact with "Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG" and they suggested to report this to Adobe as a bug.

   They way it is you can not differenciate between images that don't have a profile and images that already have the correct profile. As a result all images get converted again in prepress - even those that already are in the correct profile.

   If you have any further questions feel free to ask and i'll help out as good as i can :)

   Thanks!

3. Missing color in PDF from InDesign

   I have an InDesign file with a placed PSD file in it, which contains two spot colors. When I save the file as a PDF out of InDesign, only one of the two spot channels is visible.

   I'm running the latest versions of InDesign, Photoshop, and Acrobat. To reproduce, open the attached InDesign file and save as a PDF. The resulting PDF should show a yellow and blue spot, but only the blue is visible. (The PDF generated during packaging also exhibits the problem.)

4. Data merge icc

   InDesign 21.0.2
   During a data merge I exported to PDF and chose single pages. Associated PDF ICC profile is a v4, so I received this dialog 100 times -- 1 for each individual page. Probably not necessary.

5. When exporting to pdf documents are appearing glitched - 2026 update

   Recently updated Indesign to the 2026 version and so has the rest of the team in my company. We import a lot of InDesign files into our other InDesign documents so when the original file gets updated, we are able to easily relink the document . We have had to go through and convert all the InDesign files to the 2026 version but this is where it gets tricky. If I have converted or updated an original file and re-link it to my document, I have no issues when converting my document to a pdf. All images appear clear etc. If my colleague then goes and uses one of these updated files in her document and coverts it to pdf, the pages are all glitched unless she personally goes in and updates the original file again. This is causing major issues because we have to update the original file every time we both want to use it in our document.

9. When viewing an exported PDF images do not appear correctly

   I'm using InDesign 2026 version 21.0. These bugs are new after the latest update. We create primary 36+ page booklets with lots of text and linked files: Illustrator files (linked as .AI), JPG/PNG images, and PDFs. When creating a PDF using Adobe PDF preset for smallest file size some pages do not appear correctly. One example is a linked InDesign file with text and graphics where some of the text is missing (text missing bug.PDF). Another example images that appear fine in InDesign and in print but render incorrectly on the PDF, this is also a linked InDesign file (images rendering bug.PDF). Sometimes InDesign freezes when making the PDF and I have to end the program through task manager. Other times I'm able to successfully make the PDF by creating multiple PDFs for one document i.e.: pages 1-15, pages 16-25, pages 26-36, then merging the PDF pages after. This is a cumbersome work around.

   Before the latest update we had very few errors/crashes with creating PDF's in the exact same way. Please help!

12. InDesign exporting old QR code after editing URL

    InDesign is exporting an old QR code after editing the URL.

    In InDesign I can scan the QR code and it is correct. When I export to PDF, the old (incorrect) QR code is on the PDF. I can literally see the difference ,and when scanned, it goes to the OLD URL.

13. Custom .joboptions presets break all PDF exports in InDesign 20 (macOS 15.6.1)

    ⚠️ Critical Bug: Custom .joboptions presets instantly disable all PDF export in InDesign 20 on macOS 15 — exports appear to finish but no PDF is produced. Removing the preset restores functionality. Confirmed reproducible across multiple systems.

    InDesign 20.0 on macOS 15.6.1 silently fails to export PDFs after a custom PDF preset (.joboptions) is created or added. The export appears to complete, but no file is generated and no error message appears. Removing the custom .joboptions file immediately restores export functionality.

    This occurs even when the preset is a clean derivative of “Press Quality” or “High Quality Print,” suggesting a parsing or sandbox issue with the Adobe PDF Library in InDesign 20/macOS 15.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    Open InDesign 20.0.
    Export a document to PDF successfully using High Quality Print.
    Go to File → Adobe PDF Presets → Define → New and create a custom preset (any name).
    Export again.

    Result:
    Export appears to succeed but no PDF is produced.
    No error dialog or warning appears.

    Additional Notes:
    Reproducible on multiple Macs (Intel and Apple Silicon).
    Default .joboptions files work normally.
    Custom .joboptions files immediately break exports, including valid PostScript syntax.
    Suggests regression in sandbox access or preset parsing introduced in InDesign 20/macOS 15.

    If you’re seeing this issue, please click “Vote” and comment “Same here” so Adobe can prioritize the fix.

15. Segoe UI Emoji font visual issue in Indesign Export PDF

    I have used some smiley glyphs in my InDesign layout with the "Segoe UI Emoji" font. The smiley glyphs appear in black and white in both the InDesign Glyphs panel and my layout. However, in the exported PDF, they appear in yellow.

    Since I am working on a black-and-white layout, this is causing an issue. I am using the latest versions of InDesign 2024 and 2025. I suspect this could be an application bug. Could someone please check and confirm?

16. facing page bleed issue on pdf export

    If I have facing pages setup with art that touches the inner page edge but does not go over that page border there is a tiny slice of that art that shows up when exporting a pdf. My client always notes it as an error. Example: left hand page has an image that fill the page and bleeds off the left but only touches the right hand side of the page. I use align to right of page so it is right on the edge. I export to pdf and a teeny tiny sliver of that image shows up on the right hand page. Evident when viewing the pdf as a single page. I have to move the image away from the edge by a 1/4 pt to fix.

18. Outer Edge Bleed Option for Facing Pages

    Description:
    InDesign currently applies identical bleed settings to all four edges of each page, even in facing-page layouts.
    For publications such as magazines, catalogs, and books, the inner (spine) edge bleed between facing pages is unnecessary and can cause issues in visualization, export, and imposition.

    Feature Request:
    Add an option in the Document Setup and Export Settings to enable Outer Edge Bleed mode.

    In this mode, bleed is applied only to the top, bottom, and outer edges of each spread.
    The inner edge between facing pages would have no bleed, resulting in a cleaner, more accurate PDF output that reflects the final printed result.

    Benefits:
    • Reduces unnecessary bleed on inner edges.
    • Produces more accurate PDF previews for client review.
    • Minimizes manual adjustments in master pages or export settings.
