1. HyperlinkTextDestination elements missing from anchored objects in exported icml

   When exporting icml from InDesign, anchored objects with hyperlink text destinations inside of them are missing those destinations.

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. Make a new document with text.
   2. Insert an anchored text frame with text into the story.
   3. Insert a hyperlink text destination into the anchored text frame.
   4. Create a hyperlink from outside of the text frame to inside of it.
   5. Export icml of the story.

   In the exported icml, the hyperlink destination will be missing and the link will be broken.

2. Ability to identify if a Story is TOC_STORY, which TOC_STYLE is in use

   Using InDesign Server (or scripts in InDesign Desktop) via JavaScript, it would be very helpful if there was an API/mechanism for discovering details for table of contents usage.

   Current Issue:
   It doesn't look like there is a way to see if a TOCStyle is actually used anywhere. A document can contain multiple TOCStyles, but it's possible only one is placed in the document. Likewise, it doesn't appear there is a way to resolve the TOCStyle being used for a Story that is of type StoryTypes.TOC_STORY.

   Proposed solution(s):
   - Add a Stories property to the TOCStyle object that contains references to the Story objects that have that TOCStyle applied.
   - Expose the Story 'AppliedTOCStyle' property via ExtendScipt. This property already exists on the Story IDML object but doesn't appear to be exposed through ExtendScript.

   Thanks for your time!

3. InDesignServer - All Layers are allways unlocked

   InDesign Server 2021 and 2022 do unlock all Layers every time a document is opened.
   There is no way to know the initial state of the layers. They are always unlocked for the Scripting.
   Furthermore, this change is also saved to the document, removing the locks the user did.
   I tested this with following script:

   var file = new File("C:/Test/Test.indd");
   var doc = app.open(file);
   for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i++) {
   var layer = doc.layers[i];
   app.consoleout("Layer " + layer.name + " Locked: " + layer.locked + " Visible: " + layer.visible);
   }
   doc.close(SaveOptions.YES);

   I've already posted this into the community forum for InDesign, were the issue was confirmed.

4. Make the (Black) Color Swatch a TRUE BLACK

   In the Appearance Panel, the (Black) color swatch is not a TRUE BLACK color and when this color swatch is used and a file is exported to PDF, Rich black is not achieved.

   The attached document shows a few shapes that are black. The top right is a true black color and the color swatch had to be changed from the standard (BLACK) color swatch in order to be achieved when exporting to a PDF. The left and bottom color swatches have the (Black) color swatch from the appearance panel applied.

   Please, Please, Please, make the (Black) color swatch a true rich black color (since users cannot adjust this color).

   Since the standard (Black) color swatch isn't true black, it will take me quite a bit of time to apply a new color to all my previously designed files that use your standard (Black) color swatch.

7. Problem related to half space in the dictionary

   "When the Persian dictionary is fully added to the software through the method explained on your website, the software incorrectly identifies words that use half-space as incorrect, even though the exact word exists in the .DIC file and the spelling rules are defined in the .AFF file. Please investigate this issue as it is very important.

   Thank you."

9. CC 2022: outdated linked Indd-Document on MasterSpread replaces content

   I am met with the following bug on our 2022 server (v17.4.2):

   when updating outdated links via script I use this line:

   openDoc.links.everyItem().update();

   however, if those outdated links are linked indd-pages contained on my masterSpreads, then instead of updating the links, the contents of my document will be completely replaced by the contents of that linked file.

   I encountered the same bug when using place() to place another indd document containing the same outdated links. So place() also replaced the contents of my file. the image shows the contents of my file before and after updating my links.

   This is extremely problematic, since updating the links via script before exporting is necessary for our process.

   If I update the links manually, everything works fine.

10. Two calls to waitForProcess() required to preflight some files

    When preflighting some files IDS outputs a "No errors yet; still looking" message to the console and no preflight results are returned.

    But when we make 2 calls to waitForProcess() we can retrieve the preflight results.

    Sample jsx file attached (as a .txt file). I can supply .idml files that require the two waitForProcess() calls.

    We found the fix on a German forum post from 2014: https://www.hilfdirselbst.ch/foren/Preflight_Meldung_No_errors_yet;_still_looking__P529496.html

11. InDesign Server + Catalina = heavy permission problems

    --- Update: PROBLEM SOLVED. See comment below ---

    We have run into to serious problems with running InDesign Server (IDS) on Mac OS 10.5.x Catalina: The problems are somehow related to file permissions and will only show when the IDS instances are started by launch agents (or launch deamons).

    This problem manifests itself in several ways we have encountered – using IDS CC 2020 as well as IDS 2019:

    1. Documents can only be opened from a limited number of locations – actually only one location as far as we know, the /private/tmp/ directory on the local machine. When one of our scripts (applescripts) tells IDS to open a file stored in any other location that we have tried – like the desktop or on a network volume connected to with smb or afp – IDS always trow back error number 29445, stating that the file is opened by another user or in another program (which its not).

    Copying or moving the document file manually to the /tmp folder makes the document openable without any error message. This might suggest a possible workaround – but no: the files cannot be copied or moved either by the scripts themselves:

    1. Any command to do something with files, other than files in the /tmp-folder, results in error ”Operation not permitted” when run from a script executed from IDS started with launch agents. Finder commands or shell script commands like cp, mv and touch all fails. So it’s not even possible to copy a document to the /tmp directory from the script before opening it.

    2. Trying to place an EPS-file in a document from a script in the ”forbidden” locations results in the same error message as mentioned first above: 29445. This does not happen with pdf:s, jpg:s or png:s. This is a smaller problem than the other two above, since it can be worked around by converting the eps-files to pdf.s in another process.

    But problem 1+2 is a showstopper.

    All these problems (probably having a common cause) are totally non-existent under other circumstances:
    • IDS is started with launch agents in systems older than 0.5.x Catalina – no problem.
    • IDS is started from Terminal with Catalina – no problem.
    • Indesign CC (client version) is used, under any Mac OS.
    There is no difference with IDS CC 2020 compared to IDS CC 2019 in this respect.

    The problems could be related to the new security measures introduced with Catalina, where access to network volumes and some local directories (like the desktop) are more heavily controlled than in previous systems, demanding the user to actively allow access to such locations. But with IDS, when started by agents or deamons, those dialogs never show up – only the error messages. And it’s not possible (as far as we know by all the ways we have tried) to allow such access for IDS.

    Another security measure, introduced with Mac OS 10.14 – the limitation for scripts to automate other applications without user consentis – is possible to handle under Catalina: A startup script (telling osascript to tell applications to do something) can force the desired dialogs in wich the user can allow InDesign Server to send Apple Events to those applications – once and for all. That’s fine.

    But using a startup script to force the corresponding dialogs for directory access will not work with IDS when started from launch agents. Whatever method we have tried, there is always the same the error message: Operation not permitted.

    Dragging launchd to the Full Disk Access panel doesn’t help either

    However, when IDS is started from Terminal, the same startup script gives us the desired result: The user is asked to give application Terminal access to the network filesystem – which we then can give it, once and for all.

    Starting IDS from Terminal is not a plausible solution in real production though, at least for stability reasons.

    So the question is: Why can IDS not be given access to file directories when started by launch agents? Why won’t the necessary questions show up?

    I guess the cause of the problems relies somewhere inbetween Apple and Adobe. The combination of launch agents and InDesign Server does not work in combination with the new Catalina security measures. Adobe certainly has responsibility, at least partly, since there is no announcement that running IDS by launch agents under MacOS Catalina will not work.

    We hav invested in machines that canon ot run systems older than Mac OS Catalina, so our scripts must work in that environment.

    Anyway, the most important question for us right now is: What can we do in the current situation? Is there a workaround?

13. The scale X percentage option shold have short key so that I don´t have to write 100% manually in the meny while working in prepress.

    The scale X percentage option shold have short key so that I don´t have to write 100% manually in the meny while working in prepress. When I update links in my prepress documents the scale down to 91% and that´s really frustrating that I can´t just mark them and use a short key to resize them to 100%. Especially if you have updated for example 50 links.

16. problems with work speed

    I change formats of single letters or total paragraphs in a book. If I do this at a start of a indesign file (70 pages, 270 footnotes, no pictures, only opened part of the book) it lasts up to 40 seconds until I can work further. If I do this further to the end of the document the delay is lessens.
