    When this problem first showed up a couple of years ago, the workaround was to uncheck "Auto-activate Adobe Fonts" in Preferences. Give that a try and see if it fixes the issue.

    @ravi The regression in 19.x was marked and remains so. It shows up in almost all variable fonts from all foundries.

    Need More Info  ·  AdminAbhinav Agarwal (Sr. Product Manager, Adobe InDesign) responded

    Hello All,

    Kindly provide more information about this ask. How do you plan to use the Action Panel in InDesign? Do you want it to work exactly like that in Photoshop? What are the most important actions/operations that you want to record?

    Thanks

    Hi Abhinav,
    It's extraordinary that more than four years later we have no news about this FR. There are so many use cases for being able to quickly record a sequence of actions so they can be executed repetitively. There are few production workflows that wouldn't benefit from an Actions panel.

    An error occurred while saving the comment
    Alan Gilbertson commented  · 

    Typical case: I have 30 separate textbook covers in a series and I need to make the same changes on each one, export to PDF, save and close. Of course this can be done by scripting, but that's stupidly complex compared to doing it one time and recording an Action, like in Photoshop, then repeat it for each document. Would have saved me at least a couple of hours yesterday, and would save me more than that tomorrow on a different project with similar repetitive operations.

    This is a basic problem with the TOC feature that has been there since its inception: any local override applied to a source paragraph will be applied unchanged to the TOC entry, regardless of the font or size difference. Tweak the leading in a 24 point chapter title, and the TOC entry will acquire that (wholly inappropriate) exact leading. It's the same when titles are kerned by hand. The TOC entries inherit the custom kerning, with bizarre results:

    Need More Info  ·  Anonymous responded

    Hi All, thanks for this feature suggestion.

    If I understand this correctly the idea here is that you need a faster way to be able to apply Master Pages to the various pages in the document. One use case is that you want to apply a particular master page to Even and Odd pages.

    Are there other such scenarios too, where you need more support. It would be helpful if you can mention other such scenarios.

    Thanks
