  1. Native AI support.

    Using links within AI to keep source files small is useless if INDD is a part of the workflow because INDD will not place AI files unless PDF compatibility is turned on. Turning on PDF compatibility in AI when saving embeds all links so linking files instead of embedding them makes no difference.

    Please make INDD able to place AI files that have not been saved with PDF compatibility turned on.

  2. 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…

  4. Custom shaped, multi-colored bullets

    I would like to be able to very easily create custom shaped, multi-colored bullets within InDesign by grabbing an element and copying and pasting it.

  5. 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.

  7. Indesign .RTF or .DOCX exporter

    If Adobe are so keen to help with sharing and workflows why have they failed to add a decent way of exporting to Rich text Files or .DOCX from Indesign?

    I propose an adobe RTF /DOCX exporter that ships with Indesign.

    Currently we have to rely on a third party product or a script to do this. It seems ridiculous to have to pay for software that is keen for AI to fill in the gaps but miss out on something as basic as this.

    If anyone who has to re-assemble a document format PDF export knows what a nightmare…

  8. Home screen - Please put your creative hats on and re-design for functionality

    I love and hate the Home Screen. I would really like to see Adobe really think through the reason for this screen's existence. The simple fact that you cannot reorder, delete, or organize the list is limiting. The additional fact is that, in some recent updates, the hover to see the "path" is no longer available.
    Bottom line: this is valuable real estate that is going to waste or cause more frustration than it's worth because it feels more like an afterthought than a conscious UX/UI decision.
    You guys are awesome creatives, and I know there are tons of things…

  10. Grids in Document setting

    Grids do not belong to the app settings. Should be part of document settings.

    Rework Styles/Settings.
    In Styles, the tabs are not logical.
    How is Language and 'Advanced Character Format'?
    Why is 'Align to Grid' part of 'Indents and Spacing'?
    Lots of work to do there.

  12. 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…

  13. Adding Uzbek spell checking / hyphenation

    Hi, InDesign team! I'm coming from Uzbekistan, we build various NLP solutions for Uzbek (spoken by 40 mln people around the world). Recently we made an add-in for InDesign that handles hyphenation and spell checking for Uzbek. However, it's still an add-in, so we have to update its versions over time – we wonder if it's possible to add this feature to InDesign itself so this language will be native in newer InDesign versions.

    We're open for any type of collaboration, we'd be very glad if you add our language into the program, we can provide all resources and models…

  14. Support for CMYKOGV (eg. FOGRA 55)

    Certification was completed back in 2021 after conclusion of a FOGRA research project. The color exchange profile (ICC) can be downloaded from the FOGRA website.

    In essence expanded (or extended, varies by publication) color gamut offset printing is the idea of increasing the color space of CMYK using 3 additional colors (orange, green, violet).

    CMYKOGV as characterized by FOGRA 55 is proofable using Epson SureColor printers (P7570, P9570).

    I have seen several printers already offering 7c offset print. These days it's basically to cut down on cost (to achieve almost complete Pantone coverage without having to resort to actually spot…

  15. Create a tool called Work Checker.

    I propose that the developers create a tool called "Work Checker." This tool would feature a screen where any design with multiple pages could be presented like a video. The "Player" should offer adjustable speeds to navigate through the pages. What would the benefit be?

    This tool would allow us to compare our layouts in a "spatial" way, making it easier to ensure that the elements on each page maintain aesthetic coherence throughout the entire piece. It would also help identify any "jumps" in elements that disrupt the overall design aesthetic.

  16. File save revisions

    I will explain with an example, I will be working on a design and saves it.
    Later I modify the design and save it and the client tells me that the old design was better. Now my problem is returning to the last saved version.

  17. AND/OR options for the conditional text to show or hide.

    As of now, conditional text with more than two conditions is displayed when any one of the conditions is met (OR condition).

    Example: This is sample text (Condition 1 / Condition 2)

    To show the text, Condition 1 OR Condition 2 needs to be on.

    In addition, an AND condition would be very useful.

    Example: This is sample text (Condition 1 / Condition 2)

    To show the text, both Condition 1 AND Condition 2 need to be on. (Just add a option of AND/OR)

    When creating many publications with one template, conditional text is very useful, but not sufficient.

    With…

  18. ai generation

    Indesign is saving ai generate images in documents system drive by default, which causes problems when I work sometimes from home and at time out of the office on my laptop. Also problems making packages.
    With the new version came out, I was surprised that we still can't choose our wanted prefered lacation - like a shared driver so I can access those ai generated images from anywhere. I still have to go to Utilities, copy links to - FOR EVERY SINGLE JOB. It's impossible to work like this.
    Would appreciate a fix

  20. Subject: Request to Reintroduce Removed Features and Add New Enhancements in the Latest Adobe Version

    1. Manual Second-Line Indent Adjustment Using Shift Key:
      In earlier versions, within the Tab Settings panel, we were able to manually adjust the second-line indent by pressing and dragging with the Shift key. This provided precise and quick control over hanging indents. In the current version, this functionality has been removed, causing difficulty in achieving the same results efficiently. New Features Requested for Addition:

    2. Missing “Title Case” Option in Paragraph Style > Basic Character Formats:
      Previously, users could set text to “Title Case” directly inside Paragraph Style > Basic Character Formats. In the latest version, this option no longer appears, forcing…
