Transparency on top of Pantone spot colors does not export correctly
When I export a design that has an element with transparency on top of a Pantone solid, the element with transparency disappears in the output PDF.
I tried different PDF settings but all have the same result. Changing the filetype of the element with transparency (PSD, PNG, PDF, …) does not change the result.
I found that, when converting the Pantone solid to Lab or CMYK, the element with transparency appears again. But this workaround also means that I cannot use the Pantone library.
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?2 votes -

file will not export to pdf
Some Indesign files will not export to pdf while other Indesign 2020 files export fine. An alert shows but there is no detail in the alert. There does not seem to be any difference between the files that export and those that don't. Indesign 2020 does not accept file names that are too long.

overprint function works wrong! > Illustrator & Indesign
As Indesign & Illustrator unfortunately is doing right now:
If the overprinted area contains a smaller amount of the same base colour (c/m/y/k) than the overprinted area, the overprint function mutates into a kind of cut-out function:
in which case Adobe replaces the area of the cutoff area with the lower color value of the area to be overprinted.Example 1
Area below to be overprinted (cmyk): 20/0/100/0
Area at the top that is to overprint (cmyk): 40/0/0/0
A.) Current result cut surface: 40/0/100/0 (okay)
B.) Correct result cut surface: 40/0/100/0
or C.) alternative result* cut surface: 60/0/100/0

CMD+O (Open File) STILL Doesn't Work in 15.0.3 on first launching InDesign
This still hasn't been fixed!! When first opening InDesign 15.0.3 CMD+O just gives a 'dead key' beep, and it doesn't bring up the 'Open File' dialog. You must use the MENU to open the first file. After you have opened a file from the MENU, the CMD+O will then work. PLEASE FIX, for us long-time users this is painfully annoying! I have reported this in previous releases.

Misplaced dots in Nastaleeq Font rendering
I'm using Adobe Indesign 2020 for an Urdu book. Most text is in Urdu and my font of choice is Mehr Nastaleeq. The text looks fine in MS Word using the font (see attached image) but In Design is not rendering certain words correctly (see attached image).

Alternate filling function of table rows doesn't work on styled cells
Please see the attached video to fully understand what is the issue about: the alternate filling function doesn't work on previously styled cells.
PS: Your server didn't allow me to upload the .indd file where the bug appeared and displayed the following error message: «Invalid file type: .indd files not allowed.» I can't believe my eyes. This is incredible! It's impossible to upload an .indd file on the bugs forum of InDesign! How ironic.

Text formatting is lost when copy/pasting a text box to another document.
When Copying a text box from one document to another, the formatting is lost and is highlighted red (indicating missing font?). The font changes to from Arial to Helvetica as substitution.
Both documents are updated to the current file format.
The box copies and pastes as a basic text frame.I'm able to reformat everything to match the other document, but I don't know why it's losing the formatting.

Import specific pdf page with Data merge
It could be interesting to include a specific page from a pdf into a data merge link and not only the page 1.
It could be useful when we have a lot of pages in the pdf and only one image by page.2 votes -
Perplexed translation – Czech version of InDesign CC
Hello, please correct Czech UI of InDesign CC - InDesign preferences, Text panel, first line:
InDesign CS6: "Používat typografické uvozovky" (it is correct, it means "Use typographic quotation marks", the grammar form is consistent with UI)
InDesign CC2020: "Použijte Typographer’s & Quotes" (it means nothing, it is a mixture of Czech and English words, the grammar form is not consistent with UI because it is using the imperative form instead of the infinitive). The closest translation to English would be "Use typografovy a uvozovky!"
2 votesThe fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2022(v17.0.0.96). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.
If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application and click on the context menu on the top right and click on Check for App Updates.
