Font distortion in SVG files imported from Illustrator
InDesign version 18.1 has a bug when importing svg images made in Illustrator; the fonts used in the svg files are distorted.
When I had exported the svg files in Illustrator, I chose "save as" and SVG Options: Subsetting > "All Glyphs" to make sure the fonts remained accurate when placed in InDesign, and this has always worked until version 18.1. When I went back to version 18 and opened the file, the fonts were back to normal.1 vote -
Paragraph values not appearing – SOLUTION
Paragraph values not showing in panel when text is selected.
SOLUTION I use is to hide options then show options which resets panel, rather than quit and restart InDesign or reboot Mac.

Grey outlines around pictures in Publish Online
About 1/7 of every picture has grey lines partially surrounding it, but only when I publish online. Not when I export as PDF. There's plenty of image available beyond the edges of the image box, so I don't know why it does this.

table of contents not displaying items in tables with headers/footers
The Layout/TOC feature does not include items in tables (that have headers/footers). If a table has a header/footer, the TOC just skips over the item, and goes onto the next one. When creating the TOC, it asks me if I would like to "include items in overset text?". There is never any overset text in the document, so when I click NO, the TOC skips over the table items. If I click YES, the items in the table get repeated over and over again in the TOC.

Font display issue with certain fonts in images from clipboard (18.1 x64)
We use a charting service called Macrobond, and copy images from that software to insert in InDesign. The following buggy behavior is observed:
When using certain fonts in the chart, the pasted image in InDesign displays those fonts in miniscule sizes. That does not happen with other fonts fonts.
I suspect the issue stems from different ways in which InDesign handles the various fonts based on whether they are included or third-party (or perhaps depending if they are installed locally on the PC or is fetched from the Adobe library).
In this example the first image shows a problematic chart…

'Delete Empty Pages' in InDesign preferences does not recognize content on parent page
When 'Delete Empty Pages' in InDesign is checked within preferences (found in the 'Type' tab) it does not recognize content on a parent page. Personally, I think if there is type on a parent and it is applied to a page(s), the page(s) should not be considered empty and automatically deleted.
Thanks for listening.

Margins outside page bounds
In the new New Document setup dialog it is possible to set margins larger than the page dimensions which results in Margins outside the page area. This does not happen with the legacy dialog.

Disappearing caption text
When adding text to an existing caption in Adobe InDesign 2023, the entire caption disappears. To solve, I can widen the caption box, which our client's formatting specs do not allow, or adjust the text frame options to ignore text wrap, which distorts the horizontal scale of the text. How can I add text to captions without having to change my caption text box's layout?

Texts automatically in registration mark colour
since installing version 17.3 or maybe earlier, every time you make a new text field the colour of the text is automatically in registration marks colour. Why is that? It used to be automatically black. I already checked the portrayal of black, it is set to be correct.
I wish you would change it back to be automatically black, this is causing problems in printing especially if you're not careful enough when checking your document.Sorry my Interface is in german i hope you can still follow the recording.

Bloc de texte
Ma version de InDesign : 18.0 x64
Ce n'est pas une idée mais je rencontre un bogue. La question est : comment régler ce bogue ?
Voici la situation :
1) je crée un bloc de texte. Je peux taper un texte à l'intérieur.
2) J'appuie sur la touche ESC pour sélectionner le bloc
3) Le bloc crée alors automatiquement un retrait du texte à l'intérieur. Ce retrait, je l'avais créé auparavant mais il semble qu'il se soit bloqué et que maintenant, tout nouveau bloc de texte se crée avec ce retrait de texte.
4) J'ouvre Objet/Option de bloc de…1 vote -

List Forms not working properly when exporting to interactive PDF in non latin lagunages.
I work for a translating company, the list forms items do not export as they should be when building an interactive PDF. Latin using languages are ok, but when doing forms with non latin fonts, I get the forms, full of dots instead of proper characters. I changed the font to ARIAL Unicode MS, which displays great everywhere else, except the list forms. Other Adobe fonts, wont work either. It impossible to know if the World ready Adobe composer is activated inside the form. The rest of the document is IN Adobe World Ready composer.
Only the first item is…1 vote -
Embedding video and publishing online
I tried to embed four small videos (first at HD and then at SD) but the online publishing kept coming up with a error #16 message, when I tried to do this. After trial and error, I only managed to upload three videos into the Annual Report I had put together - not ideal at all.
This would imply that there IS a limitation in terms of file size when publishing online. The overall size of the InDesign file was 23,560 KB.
The three videos at SD were: 73,907 KB, 156,488 KB, 48,701 KB. The additional SD video that I…
