1. Shared destination URLs link back to old INDD files and stop working in PDF

   INDD 2024 v19.3 Mac
   I'm not sure if this is a bug or intentional by design but it has caused us no end of problems
   I create 1 working template - often this template is a recycled and updated file from the previous year. When approved by the client I then "Save as" with different names for different regions.
   Unfortunately when I do this, the "Shared hyperlink destinations" link back to the original InDesign document. When working with multiple designers across multiple machines, the links cannot be edited by anyone who does not have the original file so every hyperlink (URLs) has to be recreated for each newly "Save As" document, which is very time consuming when there are a many URLs (and multiple documents).
   We first noticed this when the links stopped working when exported as an interactive PDF.
   Shared destinations are useful for grouping together in the Hyperlink window, however I don't see the purpose of sharing across documents as, when PDFs are uploaded to an online server, there is no way they will be able to link back to a file on a hard drive, somewhere in the universe. And I don't see the benefit(s) of linking INDD files across a local hard drive or local server.
   I believe Shared destinations should exist only within the individual document so that when a "Save as" is performed they become shared in that new document only.
   I hope you understand the issue I'm referring to.

2. Margins not honored when duplicating pages

   When duplicating a page in a document with different Inside/Outside margins, the content of consecutive pages moves out of the margins.

   Create/Insert New Page works as expected though.

3. Color tags for pages in the Pages palette do not shift when page order changes automatically

   Color tags for pages in the Pages palette do not shift when the page order is changed due to changes in the text flow. Changes in text flow can add or remove a page automatically. A certain headline, for instance, then can move from page 19 to page 20. I wanted to tag the page that holds this headline. When text flow adds a page, the headline is moved from page 19 to page 20, but the color tag is still shown for page 19. It is not “linked” to the page content.
   This behavior is different from adding or deleting a page manually. In those cases the color tag moves with the page content it was assigned to (which make more sense for me).

4. Chapter number variable doesnt change

   I tried to make the chapter numbers automatic in each chapter, but it doesn't change; it just says "1" in all chapters.

5. Unable to Re-Order Master Pages

   When dragging Master Pages, you can no longer re-order them. In pervious versions, you used to be able to move Master pages to different spots in the order by dragging them between other pages. This feature no longer works. Please bring it back so we can have documents with some better structure and order.

6. Can't add a single page to the end of a document with spreads. Pages add at weird locations.

   When I try to add single page to the end of a document with spreads, either nothing happens, it adds a spread, the single page adds itself to the second spread instead of at the end, or if I try to delete a page, InDesign crashes. This on top of not being able to save PDF settings, and not being able to rearrange the "parent" pages.

   I'm reverting back to 2023. 2024 is nothing but bugs. Had enough.

7. No Way to Place Files Saved as "Cloud Documents" (.aic, .psdc, etc.)

   Why is there no apparent way to place files saved as "Cloud Documents"? Eg. I save an Illustrator file as a cloud document on my account (.aic, no local copy), but then there is no way for InDesign to locate that file and place it as a linked or embedded file.

   Illustrator has a button in the file picker window that allows selecting "cloud documents" instead of browsing local files, but there is no such button in the InDesign workflow (as far as I can tell). Photoshop also has a similar button (though only if you choose "Place Embedded", not "Place Linked").

   InDesign ver. 19.2, Windows 11

8. Indesign Version 19 - Still can't reorder parent pages via drag and drop or otherwise

   Please fix this bug!! We used to be able to reorder the parent pages and for the last two versions it's impossible to do. This is necessary because parent pages can be used for elements that repeat throughout the document - like Appendixes. It would be nice to have them in order so that other designers will know what they're looking at! Thanks!

   FYI - I believe this is only an issue on Mac. A coworker using a PC has no problem.

9. Page Label Not Inherited from Parent to Document Page

   I'm assigning a page label to a parent page using by script like

   myParentPage=app.activeDocument.masterSpreads.itemByName("PRD-Products").pages[0];
   myParentPage.insertLabel("page", "products");

   When I insert a new document page based on this parent page, the page label is NOT inherited but just empty.

10. Indesign file shows as modified upon opening a page with placed PNGs

    1. InDesign 19.0.1
    2. Steps to reproduce: open an InDesign file with a placed PNG.
    3. Expected result: file opens, no asterisk appearing next to file name.
    4. Actual result: file opens, PNG re-renders in high quality, asterisk suddenly appears next to file name.

    As of this morning, every time I open a file that has placed PNGs, InDesign flags the document as modified, with the asterisk and asks me if I want to save the document before closing, even I made zero edits. To give even more credence, it only happens when I navigate to a page that has a linked PNG file in it. If I open a file and there are no PNGs on the page, no asterisk (JPGs and other placed graphics are just fine). The minute I "page down" and hit a page that has a placed PNG, it "redraws/re-renders" the PNG (I have high quality previews turned on, and when I get to those pages, the PNGs look a little low-res at first; you can see the dark blue progress bar at the bottom appear as it redraws the preview and then the image looks better once the high quality preview is finished drawing) and then, BAM, asterisk appears. Nothing was modified other than InDesign redrawing/updating the preview.

    I found some older forum topics and a previous bug report from 2018 (IIRC) in which that very thing was being investigated, which is what led me to figure out if that was the culprit for me, as well. It does appear to be so.

11. Page tool will not select a single page on a parent spread when Properties panel is open

    1. Create a Document with Spread and go to parent pages.

    2. Open the Properties Panel, select the Page tool and try to select a single page.

    3. Result: All pages are selected.

    4. Override: Close the Properties panel to be able to select a single page

    A similar post was reported in User Voice in 2021 it was not investigated and never got fixed.

    How can a an application of visual asset creation not render a visual preview thumbnail on Mac OS Finder? This is patently absurd and frustrating beyond comprehension! Please prioritize the RENDERING OF A THUMBNAIL PREVIEW for all INDD Files on Mac OS!!

15. Missing feature: Embed INDDs placed in an INDD

    So far, you can embed sort of all linked file types in an INDD, but not other INDDs. This should be possible to save a 100% fixed snapshot of a document.

19. Indesign 18.5 on MAC 13.5.2_conflicting fonts

    Why am I getting different results than the clients pdf?

    Using same fonts as client. The word IMPACT REPORT is different when I export it.

    The clients font is Gotham Bold but when I open the Indesign, the font shows up as Gotham Distress even though I don't have that font in my Document font folder.
