Unusable actual InDesign CC 2019
Actually InDesign is not production ready. Every few seconds the beach ball spins. I found a workaround which is … well ok but not satisfying: As long as I work in the idml-file it works but as soon as I'm opening an indd file the program slows down extremely.
That can't be the solution! Why don't you see that?

CC Library after last update now puts white box around all graphics
After the latest update, when I use my library to place a logo on a page in InDesign, it now almost looks like a white background PNG instead of the logo without any background. Running into printing issues with white boxes around all of our CC Library Graphics.

Keyboard commands do not respond in document until text field is selected
Indesign 14.0.2 x64
Windows 10After opening any document, the keyboard does not work. Print, open, and quick key selections for tool will not register until I select the type tool with the mouse, and click on a text field so that the cursor appears.
I then have to click on the selection black arrow tool for any keys to start working. I use mainly quick key shortcuts and commands all day, so this occurs every new document opened.

panels / windows won't open, InDesign doesn't launch 80% of the time
Honestly wasn't sure what to file this under. I am running the latest version of InDesign (version 14.0.2). About 4/5 times when I click to launch InDesign, it bounces for several minutes and then nothing happens... and then it stops bouncing and the dot under the app also goes away, yet the app says its open - still no windows. Eventually - usually after about 10-15 minutes of waiting - I have to right click, quit, and start again.
But this is the part that really bothers me: When it finally does open properly and loads a document, many of…

roman punctuation
It would be great if InDesign had a Roman punctuation (hanging punctuation) option similar to Illustrator, where it was set with a toggle. The optical alignment in Story is useful; however, the Illustrator implementation of hanging punctuation is useful in many situations, too.

Not able to create new guides
I am seeing many issues with the new updated InDesign - it seems a lot of the issues are solved if you have no browsers open. But let's be honest that is ridiculous! First I was not able to scale items proportionately while holding down the shift key. Now I can't create new guides, however the minute I close out all my browsers this functionality begins to work.
Please fix the many conflicts between INDD and the web browsers. I am on a MacBook Pro using High Sierra. The conflicts appear when either Chrome or FireFox are open. I need…

Effects appearing in wrong place when exported to PDF
My Case Number: ADB-6422050-V1R6
I've been exporting a document which uses the bevel/emboss effect. Part of the element is outside of the frame of the document. The effect on the part of the element outside the frame is being moved into the frame when I export it into a PDF. In the screenshot, you will see that in InDesign, the yellow pad is completely yellow on the left inside the frame of the document, but the edge of the image outside the frame is white; when you view in preview mode you don't see the white. However, in the screenshot…

Anchored Object Lock/Prevent Manual Position Override
The Prevent Manual Positioning creates a Locked Object, but unlocking the widget doesn't remove the Prevent manual override.
When you check to "Prevent Manual Override" an anchored object receives a lock adornment. An object Style can be created from this object. If that lock is unlocked the Object style shows as override, but the "Prevent Manual Override" is still checked.
If the object style is redefined. The lock adornment is still unlocked, and the "Prevent Manual Positioning" is still checked. Reapplying the style locks the object.
There should be more consistent behaviour of "Prevent Manual Positioning" and the "Lock". Even…

Can't move anything with selection tool
Mac OS Sierra v 10.12.6 and Indesign 2019
Since yesterday I can't work. I can use the selection tool to move things around. I only can move things using the X and Y boxes or the arrows. It is impossible to work. Who do I have to call? There is no solution anywhere, after trying so many things. I finally installed and then installed back InDesign and nothing has changed.2 votes -
Indesign 14.0.1 pixellated output in export to PDF
Indesign 14.0.1
Export to PDF using press quality job option does not produce high quality images the way the previous version used to do and all ends up pixellated at screen resolution only. The only way I know of producing press ready files is now to "package book for print", in which case, if you select your usual press ready PDF option, the conversion definitely works.2 votes -
welcome screen won't load

Split window re-scrolls after returning from other app and changing other window
I am running Adobe InDesign CC 14.0.1.x64 on Windows 7 with latest updates (i.e., the most popular platform in the world).
- Open the document (see attached).

- InDesign correctly inserts a new paragraph, with the left window remaining unchanged.
- Alt-Tab out of InDesign.
- Alt-Tab back into InDesign. The Type tool should still…

Accessibility-Tag Tree-Data Merge
ID 14.0.1, Mac Pro, Sierra 10.12.6
Tags are not in proper order in exported PDF
Using Data Merge to create many pages of text and table from large Excel file Col A-FF. Each row produces one page. The first section of the page tags are at the top of the tag tree, followed by the first section of each successive page. Then the Next tags (from the tables) are listed, again by successive pages.
To remediate, all (table) tags have to be moved to the proper page.2 votes
