1. Generative AI - Alt Text and other AI Features

   These features should be turned off by default. Most users do not want generated content being automatically inserted into production documents without review or approval. If users do want AI assistance, it should be opt-in, with clear choices such as:

   Generate descriptions for all images
   Generate descriptions for selected images only
   Approve descriptions on a case-by-case basis

   I do not think automatically inserting generated content into live production files is a good approach.

   In real-world workflows especially regulated, accessibility, publishing, legal, pharmaceutical, or corporate environments every word often needs to be reviewed, approved, and sometimes audited. AI-generated alt text can absolutely be useful as a starting point, but it should never silently become part of the document unless the user explicitly accepts it.

   There is also the risk of inaccurate, inappropriate, misleading, or non-compliant content being introduced into documents without the user immediately noticing. That could create serious problems for regulated workflows, accessibility compliance, approvals, translations, and version-controlled production environments.

   AI should assist the user, not bypass existing review and sign-off processes.

   See the current thread.

   Under Review  ·  AdminSunnyL (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

   Hi all,

   Thanks for the detailed feedback on this thread. Reopening it, because we're still actively working on the issue. A few updates:

   Relinking: the case where manually entered alt text was overwritten by generated alt text on relink was fixed in 21.4. If you're still seeing manual alt text get overwritten after relinking, reply here with a sample file and your InDesign version and we'll investigate directly.

   Remove all generated alt text: an option to remove all generated alt text from a document in a single action is on the way.

   We hear the wider feedback here too, and we're keeping this open while we work through it.

   Best regards,

   Sunny

2. Remove all alt text

   Like everyone, I was affected by the recent bug masquerading as a feature that added a ton of unwelcome AI alt text to every image that I didnt ask for and don't need. Now I have to go through image by image if I want it all out? One of these documents has over 2000 links. I NEED a way to remove all alt text easily. I didn't want it to begin with! Shameful this "feature" shipped at all, let alone without an easy undo! Are you THAT desperate to get your AI adoption number up? Guess so!

3. Allow “Use for Tagging Order in Tagged PDF” to be enabled by default in the Articles panel.

   The Articles panel already includes the option “Use for Tagging Order in Tagged PDF,” but there does not appear to be a way to make this setting enabled by default for new documents.

   For accessible PDF workflows, this creates repetitive manual work because the setting has to be turned on for each new file. It also increases the risk that the setting may be missed before exporting a tagged PDF.

   Please add a preference or document default that allows users to keep “Use for Tagging Order in Tagged PDF” enabled automatically for new files.

4. Request for Native HEX Color Support in Adobe InDesign for Modern Digital Workflows

   I would really like the ability to use HEX color values directly in InDesign. I understand that InDesign is primarily designed with print workflows in mind, where CMYK and spot colors are the standard, but more and more of us are working in hybrid or fully digital environments.

   As teams continue to move their entire design workflows into Adobe Creative Cloud, having better support for digital-first color systems would make a big difference. Being able to input HEX codes natively would help bridge the gap between design tools and web or UI workflows, where HEX is the standard.

   It would also reduce friction when collaborating across disciplines, since designers wouldn’t need to constantly convert between color formats or rely on external tools just to match brand colors accurately. Even a simple HEX input field or picker option would make InDesign significantly more flexible for modern digital production.

5. Add a X in the homescreen recent thumbnails, to remove projects from that overview

   When working for multiple clients, it is very inconvenient having thumbnails popping up when opening a document. Please make it easy for the user to decide which projects are shown in the home screen.

6. Custom App Assignment for ‘Edit Original’ in InDesign

   It would be useful to introduce a feature in InDesign that allows assigning specific applications for opening files when using the "Edit Original" command, so that, for example, you can choose Photoshop for .jpg .jpeg .png, Illustrator for .pdf .ai etc...
   In this way, it is possible to keep the most common settings for the operating system, such as opening .jpg files with the Photos app and .pdf files with Acrobat.

   In InDesign there is already the option to assign a keyboard shortcut to start "Edit Original," but not one for "Edit With...," which greatly slows down the workflow.

7. Ability to create a semicircle shape quickly and easily

   One feature I would really like to see added to InDesign is the ability to create a semicircle shape quickly and easily. At the moment, I haven't been able to find a straightforward way to make a perfect semicircle without relying on workarounds, manual adjustments, or creating the shape in another application first.

   Having a dedicated semicircle tool or shape option would make the design process much more efficient, especially for layouts, infographics, diagrams, logos, and other projects that frequently require partial circular shapes. While InDesign offers a variety of shape tools and path-editing features, creating a precise semicircle can still be unnecessarily time-consuming compared to drawing standard circles, rectangles, or polygons.

9. InCopy on the web to all language versions

   Can you please stop with making features available in English version only. Those of us who work in an international environment or organization needs feature parity, and in this day and age, where AI takes care of 99% of translation and testing it cant't be that hard.

   We pay for InDesign and expect to not be discriminated.

10. Redesign UserVoice forum

    In this sad, poorly designed forum, if you click an attached image, then click back to the forum, the idea you viewed disappears and a different idea is presented.

    When you attempt to post an idea, your email appears as the idea title.

    Which makes it unclear where to place the title and where the content of the post. In the end, your feedback is posted with your email as the title, and thus has to be deleted and reposted.

    Please redesign it.

11. Add an option to disable the downloading or saving of embedded videos

    Please include an option to disable the downloading or saving of embedded videos in Adobe InDesign documents. This feature would be extremely useful for designers, publishers, and businesses that distribute interactive PDFs or digital publications containing licensed or proprietary video content. Currently, users who receive these documents may be able to extract or save embedded media files, which can create copyright, security, and content protection concerns.

    Adding a setting that allows creators to restrict video downloading while still permitting playback inside the document would help protect intellectual property and give publishers more control over how their media is shared. It would also improve confidence for companies and educators who rely on InDesign for interactive presentations, training materials, magazines, and marketing content.

13. Add icon for Adobe Fonts to Find/Replace and Preflight panels

    It would be helpful if you showed the Adobe Font Cloud icon next to the font name in both the Find/Replace and the Preflight panels. There have been several times when someone has used a non-Adobe font, and I don't see that the font has dropped until a PDF has been exported and compressed. Our printer only supports Adobe Fonts; however, there is currently no system for people to verify at a glance, and checking every font in large documents is extremely time-consuming.

14. technology

    I would like to suggest integrating generative AI testing tools capabilities into InDesign to enhance automation and smart workflow optimization. By leveraging AI-driven intelligence, InDesign could automatically analyze document layouts, detect design inconsistencies, suggest formatting improvements, and even generate templates based on user behavior or uploaded samples.

    This would significantly reduce manual effort, improve design accuracy, and streamline repetitive publishing tasks. Integrating AI-powered automation similar to generative AI testing tools could make InDesign more adaptive, intelligent, and efficient for modern content creators and production teams.

15. InDesign Import and Export

    It would be most helpful to me since I design books, tear-sheets, posters, newsletter that are made fore print and are shown on the web too. Import - When we have a form in PDF format that is asked to be shown, instead of placing it directly into InDesign file it doesn't work, we need to place JPGS instead. Exporting these products that are for print as web format SVG is impossible! Web service requires SVG for catalogue, everything I make can be deigned in Illustrator but arranged in InDesign, but if I export as EPS then open it into illustrator it rasterizes everything, Poor quality defeating the purpose!!! I need it to stay clean, both PRNT & Web is DESPERENTLY needed!!!

18. How do I remove first-line indent for only the first paragraph?

    Hi everyone,Escape Tsunami for Brainrots

    I’m struggling with a formatting issue and can’t seem to fix it.

    I want the first paragraph to have no indent, but all following paragraphs to keep the standard indentation (like in professional manuscripts or books).

    I’ve tried:

    Edit Format → Settings → Paragraph first line indents
    Options like “Remove from first paragraph and after empty lines”
    Different compile settings

    But nothing seems to work, even after changing styles.

19. DATA MERGE - Multiple or Single Page Import from Ai or PDF

    I would like to be able to import multiple artboards or pages from an Illustrator file or PDF document when using Data Merge.

    For example:

    Column K
    @Images
    R:\Customer\SALES ORDERS\SOnumber\Working\01-0001.ai:1 ( Design to be printed in Artboard 1 )

    Column L
    @Images
    R:\Customer\SALES ORDERS\SOnumber\Working\01-0001.ai:2 ( Spot colours listed in Artboard 2 )

    I use Data Merge for creating Prepress proofs for large orders, and we have to show the design to be printed and the spot colours used on each document.

    The issue is that InDesign won't list the colours used per page only per document, so my solution is to create a color list using the new " Create Swatch Info " introduced to Illustrator.

    My limitation is that adobe Indesign only imports the first page of the document listed in the @Images column

    This would be such a time saver for me.

    Thanks!

    Screenshot attached of a simplified version of the proof page
    ( Top Is where my image gets placed, bottom is where we list the colours and it would be much faster if it came from illustrator if each document has different spot colours using the create swatch info tool )

    PS. I have thought about saving a second ai file with the spot list only but that will just take as much time as copying and pasting from AI to Indd.
