    3. The anchored text box appears in the PDF.
    4. The anchored text box will not appear in the PDF. (It will appear only when both are on the same page or the anchor is in a textbox.)

    Steps to reproduce the issue:

    • Open an InDesign 20.5 document. Create an object with a shadow. Close. Open the same document in InDesign 21.0.1. Check if the shadow is displaying correctly.

  5. Lots of problems with fonts on InDesign (21.0.1)

    InDesign is not recognizing the fonts we previously used in version 20.5. When opening documents in version 21.0.1, InDesign prompts us to replace the fonts, even though those fonts are already installed on our computers.

    Additionally, when copying and pasting text from a template created in InDesign 20.5 into a new InDesign 21.0.1 document, the pasted text becomes unreadable.

    Steps to reproduce:

    Open a document created in InDesign 20.5 and add some text. Then open the same document in InDesign 21.0.1. Create a new text frame, copy the text from the original frame, and paste it into the new one.

  6. Font Selector Broken

    When I select a font in indesign 2024 (select drop down, start to type name of font "script", select font ) it works fine
    When I attempt the same in indesign 2026 (select drop down, start to type name of font "script", system shows me fonts beginning with the second or third letter I typed, e.g. "Cricket")
    This is broken. (no font filters selected, win 10, over 3000 fonts installed...)

  9. text box resizing causes document to shift in window

    I have an issue now that has never come up before I updated to 20.5.1. When I try to resize a text box or image box, the document shifts down and the content box is shifted up. The video shows it better. I then discovered that if I create a new text box, delete it, then create another new text box and delete that one, the issue goes away. I closed and re-opened the document, and the issue was still gone. Have not had it happen enough to know if it will recur at a later time.

  10. Bug Report: “Find/Change” Story Option Not Appearing

    Hi Adobe Support Team,

    I would like to report a bug in Adobe InDesign. When using the Find/Change command, even though I select Story in the selection area, the Story option does not appear in the Find section.

    Currently, the only workaround I’ve found is to close and reopen InDesign, but the issue recurs every time. I can provide a screenshot to illustrate the problem if needed.

    Please let me know how I can assist in resolving this issue.

    Thank you.

  11. Conversion Process

    I have ran into a bug twice now where InDesign is forcing me to run a conversion on my indd files and when it does it inserts a '/' symbol in a paragraph. Unfortunately this was not apparent and the typo went into 145 paperback copies.

  15. PDF conversion

    Still does not work with a simple remittance envelope we have - see attached screenshot. After the conversion, the entire document is black and all the fonts are missing. After every update of InDesign we try again and get the same results.

  18. ドキュメントを開こうとしたらアラートが出て開かない

    macOS Sequoia Ver15.6 です。

    CC2022を起動してドキュメントを開こうとしたらアラートが出て開けません。
    アラートは「モーダルダイアログまたは警告がアクティブなために、要求された操作を処理できません」です。
    複数マシンがあるのですが、全て同じ結果でした。
    Yahoo知恵袋に「ネットを切ったら起動した」という記述があったので試したところ、起動はしました。
    InDesinの作業はできるのですが、ネットワークが使えないと、さまざまな支障が出てくるので、
    ネットを切らずに起動できるようにしたいのです。
    InDesignのバージョンは2022、2023、2024、2025を試しましたが、全て同じでした。
    マシンの再起動も試しました。
    OSの設定(セキュリティなど)諸々試しましたが、変化なしでした。
    恐らく、起動時のAdobeの認証他の動作に問題がある気がします。
    検証と改善を求めます。

  19. Copying/cutting a table causes InDesign 2026 to crash

    Cutting and pasting tables causes InDesign to crash. This is especially true if there are any interactive elements in the table. You will receive crash reports every single time it crashes while I finish my work.

  20. Moving Pages calls for use of Absolute Page Number

    1. InDesign 21.0.1 x64 (on Windows 11)
    2. I want to move a page from a document where I have changed the Numbering & Section Options so that the document includes multiple pages with the same page number. I open the document that includes the page I want to move, and open the document which will receive that page. I select a page in the pages panel, right click, and select "Move Page." The Move Pages dialog box appears, and I select the document and location where I want the page to be moved and click OK.
    3. The highlighted page will be…
