InDesign

I create a 42 page pdf and images are missing.  The error is “Version 4 ICC profiles were converted to Version 2 ICC profiles during pdf export.  Error encountered while ready tiff image.”  The indesign file is a file linked with other indesign files.  No error occurs when creating pdfs individually from each of the indesign files, so images are not damaged.Is it a indesign glitch or a acrobat glitch.  We have been creating pdfs this way for years and it recently became a issue.Is it a indesign glitch or a acrobat glitch.

In the latest update of InDesign when I have multiple shapes and frames on the page selected, if my cursor is above something like a rectangle with content/picture inside it, I only move the picture that is below it at the time. Rather than the whole selection of objects as it used to. I tested before and after the update and it was something that only broke with 21.4. If I cursor over a solid shape object while still selecting the entire group (including the photo frame) that then moves the entire section but only if cursor above a placed fill object does it break. What could possibly be happening?

Since updating to 21.4 there’s a strange shape over the left upper corner of the screen, rendering the X-value of the transformation panel more or less inoperable.MacMini M1, Mac OS 26.5.2  

This is an odd one, I double click on an indesign file, indesign and the file opens up but indesign goes to the background on my Mac, and the finder to the foreground then the Mac doc appears and stays there, I have to then click on the indesign layout to bring it to the front, the doc still stays until I click on something else on the doc then it disappears. This started when an agency sent me a brochure to work on and now it is happening with every file I open. I have searched and not found anyone with the same problem. So far I have deleted the Indesign preferences and that didn't fix it, then updated to the latest indesign and that didn't work either. Both illustrator and photoshop are working great. I would be grateful for any advice. Thank you. My set up is: Mac Studio 2023, 64GB ram, Sequoia 15.7.1, Indesign 2026.

My InDesign hangs and shows a spinning cursor whenever I edit the formatting of a paragraph; it essentially freezes and just keeps spinning. I am using the latest version. This issue only started occurring after I updated to the new version.

PDF Comments panel corrupts Czech diacriticsInDesign 2026 on Windows 11 displays corrupted Czech characters in the Window → PDF Comments panel.The corruption affects:imported PDF comments, the search edit box while typing!The same INDD and PDF display correctly on other machines - but not all. Rest of UI has no problems.Verified:identical InDesign installation (hash comparison of files), identical PDF, different Acrobat versions tested, Czech and English UI tested, reinstallation of InDesign tested  identical UI fonts (Segoe family)Therefore the issue appears to be specific to the PDF Comments panel text rendering/input subsystem rather than PDF parsing.This should be á č ď é ě í ň ó ř š ť ú ů ý ž, the same changes appears in comments  

ID 21.4.1, MacI built a file in InDesign without issues.We just started experiencing an issue in which when someone else opens the file, the fonts (Barlow) appear to be missing, and show up like this: I was able to get the fonts working by disabling them, and letting ID re-enable them.However, when I opened a different copy of the same file, Medium and Medium appeared to be missing again, though I found I could also “fix” them by using Type > Find/Replace.  I assume that if I open up a copy someone else was working on, I may experience the same issue.Any ideas what may cause this? It’s concerning, and we haven’t seen this before.Thanks 

Hello, I have a multi-page AI file placed in my InDesign document. After making changes to the AI file, I save it. When I check the Links panel in InDesign, the yellow triangle alert appears. I ALT-click the update button, and InDesign updates all the links, but the changes I made in the AI file are not reflected in InDesign. This is a process I've done many times before without any issues. The same problem occurred with a different file yesterday. I've tried restarting my PC in case it was a glitch, but that didn't help. Do you have any idea why the link update function isn't working as it should?   <Title renamed by MOD>

Aus InDesign soll ein barrierefreies PDF erstellt werden. Sollte das PDF Export Tag H1 im Dokument nur einmal (für den Titel) vergeben werden? Kapitelüberschriften beginnen mit H1?Also zum Beispiel:Titel - H1Kapitel A - H2, A 1 - H3, A 1.1. - H4Kapitel B - H2, B 1 - H3, B1.1 - H4 Ich habe mit Titel H und dann weiter H1 für die Kapitel gearbeitet. Das gefällt PAC nicht! :(   

Normally, I would hover over the green button and select a side-by-side view, but the green button is not reacting. When I hover over the green button in the InDesign document, no pop-up window appears. The Mac OS calculator tool does not have a green button. I need to use the calculator next to the InDesign document. 

I would like to kindly follow up on support case ADB-44827608-R1Y7, which I opened earlier today.As I mentioned before, this issue is not restricted to AI-generated PNG files. The “missing link” error — showing a gray placeholder with green stripes— is also appearing on placed images in layouts I created four years ago that have never contained any artificial intelligence content.To illustrate this clearly, I am attaching the two screenshots once again:• Screenshot from InDesign 2026 showing the file “ReportajeSIP Abril 2026.indd” (page 2), where the placed image displays the gray/green missing-link placeholder.• Screenshot of the exact same section opened in Illustrator 2026, where the design renders perfectlywith no link errors at all.I have already carried out every troubleshooting step suggested by support:Full Creative Cloud repair Complete preferences reset (Cmd + Option + Shift at launch) Clean reinstallation of the application Manually re-linking all placed images Installation

I can't find the line spacing control to change from single spacing to double. Can someone tell me where it is?   ***** Title renamed by Moderator "VS" *****

I’m working on making my PDF exports more robust and accessible, and therefore including Articles. In a recent project, I fumbled through InDesign’s Articles panel (not a great experience) and managed to see the <Art> tags appropriately names and exported across into the resulting PDF. But in Acrobat, there’s also an Articles panel that shows nothing. What gives?Is there a separate, different thing in Acrobat for articles outside of Accessibility Tags? Or did I miss something to have InDesign automatically build these, too? Any insight is helpful. Images below show the successfully-populated Tags, but an empty Articles area.Tags in Acrobat, showing successful list of <art> from InDesign-made Articles. Empty Articles panel in Acrobat. What’s supposed to be here and how do I build it properly? 

What is the recommendation regarding the use confidential text with InDesign's Style Packs Auto Style feature?The feature works well, but I’m curious from a technical standpoint whether the AI Auto Style/Style Packs feature transmits selected text or derived representations of that text to Adobe or any subprocessor? If yes, are there encryption controls, and what are the retention periods, logging, backup handling, and deletion schedules?Also, is the text used for product improvement or model training?I don't have any evidence of this happening, but the “processing on cloud” message compelled me to do my due diligence before diving fully into using this feature.

The properties panel, when on and open, creates freezing trouble when working on older files not created with the current version of Indesign I’m using.  It’s a significant freeze/delay when clicking between text and image containers and text or select tools.  Even having the type tool open, things like highlighting a word can fail.  I might get 3 letters out of a 4 letter word highlighted before it freezes.  Selecting two image boxes and a text box might lock it up for 2 to 8 seconds. Or it may just skip one of four items I tried to select, such as the third item because it was in the middle of a freeze while I was clicking that one. etc...This very specifically was detailed by another user 7 years ago and the topic was closed stating version 14 had fixed this issue. But here I am dealing with it today on the newest version creative cloud has me updated to.  21.4.1Here is the previous topic from 7 years back.  That describes what I see happening and it’s frustrating to no end, and it

I’ve seen this problem mentioned in the InDesign Community a few times in the past, but has anyone recently had problems with Share for Review comments unmapping from their pins? 

When having a file open in InDesign 2024 on my Macbook Pro (Sonoma 14.2.1 OS), close the lid, plug into my LG UltraFine external monitor and wake the computer up, the InDesign window is still open and all the tool bars are visible and working, but the area where the artwork is becomes black/blank and I can't see the work. I can see the bounding boxes if I select all, but no image or text. The window is entirely blank. The same thing happens if I'm working on my LG monitor, unplug the display and then open the Macbook to work. I always have my Macbook closed when plugged into the LG display and use both an external keyboard and trackpad. The solution is to always save, quit InDesign and reopen. If I go through that it works again. Is it a bug with Apple? Is it a bug with Adobe? My LG firmware, OS and Adobe InDesign are all updated to the latest versions.

I’m saving 175 inside pages in InDesign of a novel to be uplaoded to Amazon KDP, as a HD pdf using the default ID settings. After multiple errors uploading, they said the issue was that hey don’t support a LaTeX/pdfTeX formatted pdf. I’ve never heard of that, but would like to know if I can adjusst that in the settings before saving the pdf. They said they prefer PDF/X-1a formatted pdf.

I’ve designed two reflowable ePubs in the last 48 hours with same image alignment error. I design them all of the time, so it’s not me. Images are not center aligned though I’ve selected align center layout and even manually added object export custom alignment center to the image with same result of left alignment. Please advise. Thank you.
