    What else to mention:
    The issue is with InDeign 2024 and 2023.

    NOT SO WITH InDesign 2022.
    There I had no issue to drag the SVG asset to an InDesign page!

    Hi Anonymous, or better "belisir" from:

    Table header disappear when exporting to pdf
    belisir, Sep 17, 2019
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/table-header-disappear-when-exporting-to-pdf/td-p/10615207

    Thanks for providing a sample document from InDesign CC 2019 version 14.0.3.433.
    I did a test where I exchanged the missing images in the table header that consists of graphic cells with some of my own images on page 2. Exported to PDF/X-4.

    And yes, I can confirm, that the table header images of the table with the 125 body table rows were not repeated through PDF export on pages 3 to 7 even if the layout is showing them! That's a severe bug.

    Also exported to IDML, opened in InDesign 2021 version 16.3.0.24 on Windows 10 and had the same results.
    Later I will try to create the table from scratch to see if the issue still exists in a new document with 16.3.0.24. Could be that your sample document is damaged because it started its life with InDesign CS3, was saved with CS4 and InDesign CC 2015 and finally worked on with InDesign CC 2019.

    Holger S. said: "Correction: This only occurs when there is a transparent (RGB) Illustrator file on the same page. This makes the page render as color-proof."

    Right, Holger.
    And therefore this behavior is NO bug at all.

    I also get a warning if I like to package a document.
    And I get a warning when I try to export to EPS.

    Not so with export to JPEG or PNG.
    That's very bad.

    Hi together,
    I still can see this bug with InDesign 2021 version 16.3.0.24 on Windows 10.

    The bug is discussed in several threads at the Adobe InDesign Forum. One on-going discussion from today:

    Automatic hyphens randomly have letters in them
    bracewell4213, Jul 20, 2021
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/automatic-hyphens-randomly-have-letters-in-them/td-p/12189463

    I'm rather sure that a bug in the "Adobe World-Ready Composer" is the cause for this.

    Same bug is described here:

    Pascal Garin, Jan 29, 2021
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/random-character-superimposed-on-hyphen/td-p/11792704

    To Matthias Götze who said: "i have deselected tagged pdf and the bug is also active."
    Matthias, please share an InDesign document where you see that issue. Thanks!!

    I can only add that I can see this kind of bug already in InDesign CS6 version 8.1.0 on Windows 10. The effects you'll see when exporting differs a bit depending on the export preset. And of the version of InDesign. For example I could do a good export with a PDF/X4 setting in CS6, but had trouble in later versions of InDesign.

    A PDF/X-1a preset messed up the export.
    The same when I printed to PostScript, distilled to PDF/X-1a.
    What also failed: An export to EPS and then using the EPS in the layout.
    The final PDF for the printers was messed up.

    Another note on the issue:
    This is a CRITICAL bug.

    Users should be able to test correct URLs from the Hyperlinks panel as soon as the "green light" indicates that InDesign sees no issue.

    Yet another important note for every ExtendScript scripter:
    Method
    hyperlink.showDestination()
    will get the same wrong result.

    However, exporting a page to PDF with the hyperlink included will not change the # in the URL.
