Hi again After resetting preferences, the issue settled considerably, but not totally. Seems to me that legacy documents still cause the problem. Just fyi. Thanks again.

I'm wondering if this is still NOT available in InDesign. This post is 6+ years old. It'd be great if variable width profiles for strokes were available in InDesign now. Can anyone confirm one way or another? Maybe it could be accomplished with a plugin?

You have to add teh prefix with the page number and it will pdf that specific section. i.e. B1-B10, C2-C5 etc.

Please please please please give us a checkbox to turn off the notifications that pop up every time an image is updated. I also like to listen to music with Apple Airpods when I'm layouting, which then automatically switch from the iPhone to the computer every time the (video) notification pops up. That's really annoying.

Hey @charlotte36080673yaml,
Would you mind confirming if you've submitted the crash report via the Adobe Crash Reporter dialog box? If not, please do so and share the email address used while submitting it so I can check the logs. Reference: https://adobe.ly/3Xjbhz3.
Also, could you describe when exactly the crash happens? Does it occur while using a specific tool, effect, or workflow?
In the meantime, I recommend checking this general crash troubleshooting guide: https://adobe.ly/43feDXt.
Let me know how it goes!
^

Try remove the font folder in package it will work, it worked for me.
By @morsy74
This will mean that you've fonts duplicated - installed in the System and / or in Adobe's own folder and / or in the Fonts subfolder.

All, for those who are not familiar with writing Javascript, I'm putting links here so you can download the file for Mac: Unzipped file | ZIP file of same My copy of the script places the Menu item under Edit. I feel that this is better place to put it, because you are not just changing the view of the pages, you are actually changing their physical order in the document. I've tested this on the 2024 version of Acrobat Pro and it still works.

I think when it starts happening you just have to restart InDesign and or clear your cache / preferences. But it’s some kind of weird bug they need to address. Get Outlook for iOS<>

Hi @ali_8939,
Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!
If you have the editing rights to a form, go to Edit-> Prepare Form-> ensure that the pointer icon is selected on the floating toolbar-> double click on the form field-> in the properties window, go to Appearance tab.
Now, you should be able to change the settings for the field.
If this is not what you see, let us know, and we can get this investigated.
Also, ensure that you are on the latest version of the application (2024.005.20414) for the best experience.

I kind of hate Indesign right now. First accessiblity information on hyperlinks started disappearing for no reason, then unmarked annotations on each hyperlink when exporting as an interactive .pdf, then footnotes that do not automatically link together and NOW.. the endnotes are out of order. This is so ridiculous it is not even funny anymore. I have a 165 page document I have to get done and I don't honestly know how to do it with this program.

I might have some input here. For me, the "feature" is always seemingly active when I change the document size, even though Adjust layout is off; my content elements move around on the screen when I change the document size. Which has always annoyed me. However, today I found an explanation, at least in part. It's only the elements that are placed outside the document area, on the pasteboard, that jump around. And they do so in relation to the pasteboard. Anything placed on the document area, wholly or in part, stays where it should be. So, for me it would be very helpful if Adobe could redesign the procedure of resizing the document, so that any placed content keeps its position in relation to other content as long as the Adjust layout option is off. Not in relation to the document area. (And if this would mean that some content ends up outside the pasteboard, a dialogue could inform the user that the pasteboard margins will be extended to avoid this.) At least this should be a selectable alternative. I'll post a feature request about this.

You mean INDD files or installation files?
I've found installer in my archives - but it's the "first" version - no updates ...

To change the size of the pasteboard, choose Edit > Preferences > Guides & Pasteboard in Windows or InDesign > Preferences > Guides & Pasteboard in MacOS.
But sometimes it can be a side effect of the corrupted file:

Your answer should be the way to do it but no longer works on mine either. Using file + place to replace an image no longer works on my indesign either. It's annoying as heck.

The screenshot translates to - these font are not available at this moment. If I then use that dialogue-box to replace the fonts it results in no change. It still claims fonts are not there. Export as pdf results in pdf number 1, which looks as it should, but packaging the file results in pdf number 2, that does not look like it should.
By @charlottefrich
Ok so there's evidently a missing font situation there, which isn't exactly understood yet.
First, how this font is exactly installed:
Is it from Adobe fonts, or a Fonts folder etc?
Is it possible you have multiple versions of this font installed in different font locations, which potentially can cause the situation you describe?

Hello! I ended up here as I was having the same issue when duplicating a page using the alt shortcut, Indesign just crushes. It seems to work ok if you do the right click, and select duplicate page, instead. But is SO annoying to get this pop up everytime Indesign crashes and open again. There should be an option for "not show again", I'm not interested. Please Adobe, listen to your customers. Thank you.

I've found it's not just when pasting ... if I highlight a block of text and then start to type over it, my first keystroke gets missed. Only in InDesign (on Mac) as far as I've found. Apparently a nearly identical issue arose with InDesign on Windows back in 2018.

As @leo.r stated, it won't be fixed on mobile readers--this is an issue with the mobile readers and browsers. Adobe doesn't have control over that.

Use the margins, which you define on the master/parent.
Use object styles, there you can define size and position.

Hi Rudi,
I see the same behavior like you with your SVG file.
What's unclear to me is how the parameters were with the export from Adobe Illustrator.
In the header information of your SVG file it says:
<!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 28.6.0, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 1.2.0 Build 709) -->
and:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 14.01 14.01">
The latest version of Illustrator 2024 on macOS is 28.7.4.
When I open your SVG file in that version it shows like that:
There are several exports to SVG possible with Illustrator. With different capabilities and settings.
Could you provide the original* Adobe Illustrator file? I'd like to test some things…
( *Not the one where you opened your SVG file in Illustrator and saved it as *.ai file but the original one before the export to SVG.)
I'm asking this because if I change the artboard in Illustrator so that it is exactly the size and position of the artwork I can save a SVG file out of Illustrator that will place correctly with InDesign.
Under Save As in Illustrator I used the save as options with SVG this way where I disabled "Use artboard":
The following dialog below. Note that I disabled "Responsive" as option.
The header of that SVG file looks differnt compared to the SVG file you provided:
Placing this one ( the one of the two on the right ) in InDesign now gave the right result:
Thanks, Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert )

Except it was here in this right-click menu for a really long time, up to and including last week.
I won't argue but once a software is installed, it 's not possible that any existing feature disappears, unlesss you upgrade or install a new version.
On my computer, I have 4 versions of InDesign (2022 to 2025) and in none of these 4 versions, the “select unused styles” command is available with a right click. That said, I use French versions, so maybe there is a difference with the English versions.
