    Absolutely necessary feature: Split table rows between text frame columns and threaded text frames. See especially this thread at Adobe inDesign Forums:

    how prevent row from breaking into the next page.

    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2502409

    FWIW: If the developers ever decide to implement footnotes with tables, breaking a row would come handy as well. Imagine a table with a row you can see from the first post of the linked thread plus footnotes where the footnote text should be on the same page AND you have a lot of footnotes and a lot of footnote texts you could get into a situation where you create permanent overflow of the story!

    One could prevent this hypothetic situation by allowing to split a row between text columns and text frames.

    [ ] Leere Seite einfügen

    It could be, that the last option in this list is unchecked.

    Hi,
    there is another workaround if you like to move text inside a document.
    Do not cut-paste or copy-paste.

    Instead:
    Move texts around by dragging it to a different insertion point.

    To be able to do that use a Story Editor Window where you can select text and drag it to a different place.
    Also to a different text insertion point in the Layout Window!

    Or enable this feature in Layout View with:

    Preferences > Type > Drag and Drop Text Editing

    [ x ] Enable In Layout View ( not enabled by default )
    [ x ] Enable in Story Editor ( this is option is set by default )

    Regards,
    Uwe Laubender

    Hi Erin,
    if an InDesign document is opened inside a Dropbox folder you are sharing with someone else an *.idlk file is generated. Just like in every other folder on your machine.

    Do you see that the *.idlk file is not synched with Dropbox?
    Or if it is synched, will the *.idlk file be ignored by InDesign running with someone you collaborate with?

    Usually a correspondent *.idlk file will tell InDesign that a specific document is already open and cannot be opened from another instance of InDesign.

    Hi Aman,

    I can confirm the issue. Just tested.
    If the spread is rotated the image will be placed somewhere else if you do not place it on the first spread of a document! That will happen when you click the place gun to unload it or if you drag out a rectangle with it.

    Also note that setting the zero point anew with dragging out the cross-hairs on rotated spreads is broken ( EPV issue since day one when rotating spread views were introduced ).

    I also see a big difference to CC 2018.1 not only where the image is placed, but how it is rotated when it is placed. With CC 2018.1 it is placed so that the rotation of the view has no impact. With InDesign CC 2019 rotation of the view will also dictate rotation of the image while placing. And that's perhaps a good thing. Make it a preference one can turn on or off so that the user can decide if the image is placed and rotated with the rotated view or not.

    Regards,
    Uwe Laubender

    I also tested the PDF/X-4 export preset without using layer export. This also failed.
    Only export to PDF/X-1a did it right.

    The fix for this issue is now available in the latest update 14.0.2 of InDesign 2019.
    If you are unable to see the update notification yet, open the menu (three dots) from the top-right of Creative Cloud desktop application and click on ‘Check For App Updates’.
    Once the update button is shown against InDesign, click on the button to update to Id 14.0.2.

    If you face any problems with the new update, do let us know in the comments.

    Hi together,
    this must be a Mac OS X version bug.
    I have no issues distributing all pages of a spread that are selected with the Page Tool with my German Windows version of InDesign CC 2019.

    FWIW: also see this discussion at Adobe InDesign Forum:
