The links are not going to the footnote when I make a .pdf out of it. I started adding the endnotes again, the document is going to be printed so we are trying to add the hyperlinks to the endnotes and not have 50 character hyperlinks gumming up the text. So everything went perfectly until I Hubs and spoke on about page 22 then it randomly added it to endnote 8. I can't find anything on how to fix it.

Not sure if it helps - but there are 19.5 and 19.5.2 updates.

I have the same issue with Mac and InDesign. I'm working on Mac Sequoia 15.2, I had severe issues with crashes on the latest version of InDesign, I already downgraded to 19.0, but the problem remains the same. Sometimes it freezes five times in a row on the spinning rainbow wheel after every restart while working on a document, it's almost impossible to get work done like this.

Why doesn't this app do what the description ( prompt) is saying? Like the number 765 and QWE letters together with a ripped paper background, and the numbers don't show up and 2 letters do?

Just future readers - another solution that doesn't require rollbacks:

Just a note: there have been three updates in 2025. The update that seems to work best (for the moment) is from Dec. 10th and is KB5048667.

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.

should I save screenshots of all my settings?
By @Cecilia5E25
saving screenshots of your preferences is a good idea.

Thank you!! Do you know if unchecking the fonts affects Framemaker? It didn't for a word doc but my company heavily uses Framemaker with specific fonts.

For posterity, I had an identical problem just now, but my solution made me feel really silly. Turns out my layout was too big (96"x24") and that was causing my font size to cap out at 1296pt, and not continue scaling with the text box. When I rebuilt my layout at 50% scale, I had no problem scaling text anymore.

I'm working on analysing structure of the equations and calculating shift myself.
Not sure if I'll be able to do it perfectly - but it should be close.
Or there are other way to skin the proverbial cat 😉

Hi Fabio:
Also try opening https://fonts.adobe.com/ and make sure you are signed in there.
As per @Bill Silbert, signing out and back in resolves a lot of issues, as does restarting your computer if it's been a while.

It does work in Windows, whereas Ctrl-[quote] does not seem to. Under Win, it's Alt and Alt-Shift for single entries.
Is there a (click) menu toggle for it anywhere?

Hi,
There is also a static version of Roboto. Therefore you can install those font weights which you need.

The same with Google Open Sans which is my company font.
Best regards, Winfried

Hi! I tried all that too. I ended up posting again on here with more details, see thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/issues-with-monitor-displays-and-indesign-tools/m-p/15136819#M609615 However, the best suggestion I got was uninstalling the most recent windows update. I unfortunately did not want to do that because it felt like in the long run that was going to do more harm then good. However, I did find a temporary fix. If you change your "main display" in your display settings on your computer to your monitor instead of your laptop you will be able to use InDesign on your monitors fine just not your laptop (when plugged in). InDesign will still work on your laptop if you're not plugged in. I posted on reddit too and someone suggested this temporary fix: On display settings change it so the size of text, app and other items % the same on both displays. So you could try that as well, but I personally changed my monitor to be my main display for now.

I am still having this issue. Especially when going between apps like Word, PowerPoint, and InDesign. I've done all these suggestions, but after a day the lag will reappear. Running Win11, 64GB RAM, Intel Core Ultra 9 on a Dell Precision 5690.

In my experience, Word equations don't map to editable equations in FrameMaker. Also, in my experience, they don't appear in the Word media folder as images.
So... I may rebuild a simple equation in FrameMaker, but usually I end up exporting the Word pages that contain equations to PDFs, and then crop each individual equation and extract it as an individual PDF. I then import the PDF equations into FrameMaker as inline images.
All the visible equations below—alone on the numbered paragraphs and the two I left visible that are embedded in the paragraph—are linked PDFs that I created using the above technique and shrinkwrapped (Esc m p). It's not fast but it works.

Hi @ramirog:
The print dialog box does have that option—it actually has both (Pages and Sequence).
I don't remember export to Adobe PDF (Print) having the Sequence option, so I think you may be confusing the two dialog boxes. And don't feel bad—they are so similar, I do too.
At any rate, glad we were able to help. Come back and see us next time you get stuck.

Hi, I rolled back to 19.5 and that works perfectly. There must be a gremlin in the 19.5.2 that interferes with InDesign opening files with TIFF images in them. Thanks for your help! — Richard

Hi @Ciara31274891gx7g:
I understand that the file is confidential and can't be shared for security reasons but I'm not sure we can help without seeing it. Here's a technique others have used the the past:
Save the file as it is, then
Save it under new name.
In the new copy, remove all but a few pages.
Replace the remaining real content with dummy content—we just need a few heads to work with and no body copy/table/images—and update the TOC (which will remove most of the remaining TOC).
Scan one more time for confidential information and then
Share the file with the dummy content.
This will let us play with the file—everyone on this thread is skilled at working with generated TOCs, s whoever sees it first will likely be able to identify the issue.
