1. Ability to disable all Marketing Messages and New Feature notifications

   As a developer, we are resetting our InDesign preferences at least on a daily basis. We also do this before every demonstration of our software. Each time we do, in InDesign 2025 we are confronted by a host of what I will call "marketing messages" (e.g. suddenly showing the History Panel and the Context Menu - if I see that guys face one more time...), and a host of other features that Adobe wants to draw attention to. This is incredibly disruptive to our development and end-users have complained that this hurts their productivity as well. Perhaps there can be an initial presentation of these new features, but there must be a way to shut them off completely. Otherwise, as it stands now at every reset of InDesign preferences, these messages start all over again. A simple preference to "suppress marketing messages and help popups" or something of that nature would be very well-received by both developers and end-users alike.

2. html5

   In indesign desktop version, new functionality to export document directly to html5 is added. We are looking to use the new html5 export functionality with Indesign Server. Seems it's currently not possible to write a script or a plugin to export documents to html 5 other than manually via desktop InDesign UI. (no reference found in SDK documentation)

6. Inserted special character for current page number is not refreshed from the plugin since version 20.0

   Inserted special character for current page number is not refreshed from the plugin since version 20.0.
   In previous versions, after adding a new section using kNewSectionCmdBoss, the page information was refreshed.
   Now the section is changing, the page number in the information bar at the bottom is correct, but the page number in the text frame with inserted special character has stopped updating.

   When the same is done via the Sections window in Indesign (Numbering & Section Options) with the start of new section field set, it works.

8. 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. Potential bug in IDHAMemoryXferBytes.cpp

   Not 100% sure, but I think there is a small 'off by one' bug in IDHAMemoryXferBytes.cpp.

   It's possible it is not causing issues - it all depends on what the calling code does with the class.

   I think

   pnum > numLeftInBuffer

   should really be

   pnum >= numLeftInBuffer

   otherwise the routine does not flag EOF when we happen to request the exact number of remaining bytes.

   See line with comment before it:
   ```
   ...
   uint32 IDHAMemoryXferBytes::Read(void* buffer, uint32 pnum)

   {
   uint32 numToTransfer = 0;

   do
   {
       if (buffer == nil)
       {
           ASSERT_FAIL("buffer is nil!");
           break;
       }
   
       uint32 numLeftInBuffer = this->fCountBytesStored - this->fAbsolutePositionInBuffer;
   
       // SHOULD THIS NOT BE `pnum >= numLeftInBuffer`? 
               // If we exhaust the buffer exactly, we are also at EOF
       if (pnum > numLeftInBuffer) 
       {
           numToTransfer = numLeftInBuffer;
           fStreamState = kStreamStateEOF;
       }
       else
       {
           numToTransfer = pnum;
       }
       if (numToTransfer > 0)
           memcpy(buffer, fMyBuffer + fAbsolutePositionInBuffer, numToTransfer);
   
       fAbsolutePositionInBuffer += numToTransfer;
   
   } while (false);
   return numToTransfer;
   

   }
   ...
   ```

11. InDesign Scripting Guide - Script Requirements

    Hi Team,

    I am developing Adobe Plugins that work with Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. We need your support for the following requirements.

    1. Please provide an official scripting guide for Adobe InDesign.
    2. We cannot find the right script for the following actions in InDesign 2.1. To read and write leading from and to a Text Frame. 2.2. How to create groups or groupItems in InDesign? 2.3. How to add textFrames and other groupItems into the groupItem in InDesign? 2.4. To read and write width from and to a Text Frame. 2.5. To read and write height from and to a TextFrame.

    We cannot find some basic properties of TextFrames such as width and height in InDesign. In Illustrator, we can access the width and height of a TextFrame like "textFrame.width;" and "textFrame.height;" but we cannot find the equivalent script for InDesign. Most of the time, it is like we need to write custom functions to get the desired value like using "Geometric Bounds' to calculate the height and width.

    Can we get direct and simple properties to access the values, please?

    Please let me know if you require additional information.

12. 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.

13. ScriptUI is not fully compatible with UI scaling

    When UI scaling is set to anything higher than the minimum, some scriptui palettes behave very unexpected and are not useable anymore. More simple windows do work fine, though.
    I suspect that some complex ui elements such as the ListBox trigger this behaviour, somehow confusing the layout manager. I found that a (palette) window is rendered too small if it includes a ListBox. Any attempt to resize the window by the user makes all elements go away (or the whole window in ID 2024).
    In another case, programmatic positioning of the palette made it disappear. This works fine as long as UI is not scaled, so it is at least not a pure scripting mistake.
    It would be a lot of work to rewrite all affected scripts again using UXP, so please fix this! Some more simple interfaces show that basically ScriptUI can work in the scaled mode!
    The whole thing is not completely new, see https://www.indiscripts.com/post/2021/03/scriptui-vs-ui-scaling

14. 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

15. Generate Adobe Color files from hexadecimal

    Generate Adobe Color files from hexadecimal

    There is a way to generate an *.ASE file for importing color samples into Adobe software (PS, AI, ID...) starting from a list I have in a TXT, CSV, EXCEL or other file.

    example of the list:

    e0cffc

    c29ffa

    a370f7

    8540f5

    6610f2

    520dc2

    3d0a91

    290661

    140330

    therefore I would like these color codes to be saved in an *.ASE file that can be imported into INDESIGN which generates the 9 colors (9 as 10,000 colors)

    Step 2 (optional) - if these colors can somehow be "also" converted from HEX to CMYK

17. Allow Mail Merge Preview Scripting

    It would be super handy if we could make a few options available to improve the mail merge process and automation via scripting. These include:
    1. Allow the mail merge preview to be switched off and on via script
    2. Allow the data file to be refreshed via script

    I'm trying to build a script that basically turns off preview, refreshes, turns preview back on. In an ideal world this would just be a refresh button at the bottom of the data merge panel that does all this behind the scenes - that also has the ability to be called from a script, so then I can run my other scripts which refresh links/colours based on the merge all in one go.

    Oh and while you're at it, can we PLEASE do something about the Mail Merge error messages. I've seen them so many times and it slows down the save and close and really it's inconsequential. Can they have a "do not show again" option for all files.

    Please and thank you.

19. getSystemPath using CSInterface throws URI Malformed error

    I was trying to get the my documents folder path of the system using CSInterface getSystemPath function. It works in most of the cases. But it throws URI malformed error (refer the screenshot below), if the path of the documents folder contain characters from languages other than English.

    I debugged the CSInterface.js file at line 521. And I found that the below piece of code returns the path of the folder without encoding the characters from languages other than English.

    window.adobe_cep.getSystemPath(pathType)

    IN MY CASE:

    Path of documents folder: "C:\Users\sanjay\OneDrive - Élégante\Documents".

    window.adobe_cep.getSystemPath(pathType)
    // Returned value - "file:///C:/Users/sanjay/OneDrive%20-%20Ã%89lÃ%a9gante/Documents"
    // É is encoded as Ã%89

    encodeURI("C:/Users/sanjay/OneDrive - Élégante/Documents")
    // Expected value - "file:///C:/Users/sanjay/OneDrive%20-%20%C3%89l%C3%A9gante/Documents"
    // É is encoded as %C3%89

    decodeURI("Ã%89") throws URI malformed error.
    decodeURI("%C3%89") returns É.

    ISSUE:

    So, I guess it is the problem with the encoding of window.adobe_cep.getSystemPath(pathType). Is there any work around for this issue?

    SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER FUNCTION:

    I'm also facing the same issue with other scripting functions like "documentAfterActivate" CS Event which returns the path of active document if a document is opened. The path received is not encoded properly for characters other than English.

    VERSION INFO:

    CEP: 9
    InDesign: 2022
    OS: Windows 10

    I was trying to get the my documents folder path of the system using CSInterface getSystemPath function. It works in most of the cases. But it throws URI malformed error (refer the screenshot below), if the path of the documents folder contain characters from languages other than English.
