I've run into a new issue today for the first time.   I got the "Sign-in Limit Exceeded" (or similar) dialog today. When I scrolled through the list uf supposed sign-ins, my current session was listed about 8 times. I didn't take a screenshot of it, but there were around 8 instances of something like the following, as if Acrobat had signed in multiple times, pushing me over the device limit.   THIS DEVICE (Signed in 3 minutes ago)   This is quite disruptive to my work, so I hope there's a simple solution to stop this happening again. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Thanks Richard ... View more

I am working in Acrobat Pro 64-bit with a PDF which has 1500 comments, and I select "Collapse All" to make Acrobat more responsive, otherwise any actions relating to the Comments Panel are extremely sluggish, aking about half a second to process each click etc.   When I select "Collapse All", I find that the tabs for many later pages are not collapsed. In the end I had to wait around 5 minutes for Acrobat to process all the comments to the end of the list before "Collapse All" actually did what it was meant to do i.e. Collapse ALL.   Not sure this is a bug, just poor optimisation. I am on a fairly well specced computer, so I'd be surprised if this was the issue. ... View more

Hi folks   I'm using Paragraph Shading to create text boxes in a text frame, by intending the text left and right, and using a top and bottom offset of 1 x leading, and Space After/Before = 2 x leading.      This works fine when the text box is contained entirely within a single text frame. But if the paragraph text occupies the first and/or last line in the text frame e.g. when it flows across multiple text frames, we have a problem.       The only solution I can think of is to resize the text frames on those pages (moving the text frame top edge down by 1 x leading, or the bottom edge up by the same amount). But this cumbersome, and needs to be adjusted back if the text reflows. Parent Pages can help with this, of course, but still clunky.    This is the result after adjusting the bottom edge of the text frame, which is the the layout I'm after (Paragraph Shading clipped to frame, and no text on bottom (or top line):   Is there a way to achieve this just by using Paragraph Style or other settings, so the correct layout happens automatically rather than having to be adjusted manually? A one-cell table works up to a point, but a cell can not flow between text frames AFAIK. Thanks for your help! Richard ... View more

Hi   I have a book of daily meditations whose dates for each day are in anchored text frames. I need to do a search and replace on these, but Search ignores them. The main copy on each page is in a Primary Text Frame.   Even if I un-anchor the frames, Search still completely misses them.   I have removed all search parameters and am performing the most basic text search.   If anyone has any ideas about what might be happening here I'd be grateful, as I'm at a loss to explain why this most basic function should be behaving in this seemingly broken manner.   I've created a blank file with a Primary Text Frame on the Parent Page, and several text frames including a PTF on the page itself, and it is able to search in all text fields without any problems, but as soon as I anchor one of the text frames, Search is not able to search in all the text frames any longer, so either this is a bug or a bizarre design decision!   I'm on 16.4 on Windows 10.   Many thanks Richard ...

I've noticed this in InDesign 19, but also in 18 too.   Sometimes when I duplicate a page, the objects on the duplicated page have been moved and/or resized, simply as a result of duplicating the page. See below - original above, duplicate below.    In the duplicate, everything below "Chief" has moved up by different amounts, and the "Recruitment" text frame has shrunk, causing overset text.   Original Duplicate   Repeating this operation on the original creates the same result.   It seems from Adobe Bug reporting that this was happening back in Indesign v15 too! ...

Hi   I cannot seem to set the default file association for JPG/JPEG to Photoshop 2024. I carry out all the usual steps i.e. right click pn a JPG > Open with > Set as default > Navigate to PS2024 manually as it's not in the list > Select ... nothing happens. Windows 10 does not set up the file association, and JPG is left unassociated.   I have set this association up in Bridge, but InDesign seems to want to use the Windows default association for "Edit with".   I've also tried the Default Apps thing in Windows, but PS2024 is not listed, and it can only then point to the App Store.   Is there a way to get round this and get this set up? I seem to remember having this problem before when I installed a new version of Photoshop with one already installed. All the asspcations remained with the older version and were frustratingly awkward to move across to the new one.   Currently on PS 25.3.1, on Win 10.   Thanks for your help Richard ... View more

Hi   I created a document in InDesign 18.4 which uses Gal Gothic Variable font from Adobe Fonts. However when opening the document in InDesign 19, the font is messed up.   For easy comparison I created a new document in 18.4 using dummy text, and then opened it again in 19. Results are shown below - first image is Indesign 18.4 (appears correctly) and the second is InDesign 19.   This occurred in ID19 and 19.0.1 so it hasn't been addressed.   Has anyone else encountered this?   UPDATE: Only happens with Gal Gothic Variable font weights from Demi and above, and doesn't occur with other variable fonts such as Acumin.   Thanks Richard   ...

HI folks Wondering if anyone else has encountered this strange pagination glitch, where text is rendered over footnotes? It's happened to me a few couple of times in a 300 page book I'm working on.   Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? I'm currently on InDesign 17.3, and wary of updating until this project is complete.   Many thanks Richard     ... View more
