Can we swap 'Don't Save' and 'Cancel' back the way they were in all Adobe apps please.
Can we swap 'Don't Save' and 'Cancel' back the way they were in all Adobe apps please. I'm not sure why this change was made, it doesn't seem to make any sense to have swapped these and it's driving me and everyone in my workplace absolutely mental. It has been the other way round for decades, it's ingrained in every single one us since we were birthed into the adobe suite. Please for the love of god change it back. Regards, Everyone everywhere in the Adobe universe.

Request for Text Alignment Option for Interactive Forms Directly in InDesign
Dear Adobe InDesign Team,
I would like to request the addition of a feature that allows text alignment for interactive forms to be managed directly within InDesign, rather than having to perform this task in Adobe Acrobat.
Currently, our workflow involves creating datasheets with centered ordering codes, which are frequently updated. Each update requires redoing the text alignment in Acrobat, adding unnecessary steps to our process. This is both time-consuming and frustrating, especially for what should be a simple text alignment adjustment.
Having this feature integrated into InDesign would greatly improve efficiency and streamline the creation of interactive forms, saving…

Support for "TDM", "PDF/UA" and "PLUS License Data Format" in XMP-Metadata
Missing support for "TDM", "PDF/UA" and "PLUS License Data Format" in XMP-Metadata in all Adobe apps.
There are not data fields for "TDM" (text-and-data-mining), PDF/UA (accessibility) and "PLUS License Data Format" in the UI of all Adobe apps.
This information can currently only be added manually by import of an XML-Snippet-File in the tab "raw-data".
Or with InDesign scripting and the library "lib:AdobeXMPScript".TDM:

Option to disable the drop shadow in artboard on screen mode "Normal" of the "View" menu
Please, enable an option to disable the drop shadow on the artboard in 'Normal' screen mode in the 'View' menu (on the right side and in the footer of the artboard/sheet). The shadow makes it very difficult to achieve accurate positioning and alignment of objects. I found several people on Google complaining about the same thing, and there is no solution! The "Preview", "Bleed" and "Spacer" options do not have the shadow, but they also do not display what is on the workspace outside of the artboard/sheet. The "Normal" screen mode has to look like the artboard/sheet in Illustrator. I'm…

Rename a file from link panel
As we place a lot of files with default name inside an InDesign document, it would be great if we could rename a file from Links panel.

Hide pages no spreads
The HIDE feature is excellent, and we have used it in many ways. HOWEVER, hiding individual PAGES would be more useful than SPREADS. In this example, we have background images running over multiple spreads (panels mounted on a wall with various gutter widths). Turning off the 'blank' pages (different parent pages for each gap).

Keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts have disappeared since the last update. How do I re-enable them? Do you plan to bring them back?

Sequential frames
Having more options for frames to make them sequential, for instance if I have 20 text frames for 20 files or pages instead of clicking to insert into each frame if we were able to number them or perhaps a checkbox when creating them to create sequential ones, so that when we click the first one it automatically places the following pages or files into the next frames. Kind of like how you link text boxes to continue the text except with the frames.

Feature Request: AI-Powered Image to Alt Text Generation for Accessibility in InDesign
First of all, I want to thank you for the incredible new AI-powered features in InDesign, especially the ability to generatively expand images. This is a powerful tool that has significantly enhanced my workflow, and I greatly appreciate how Adobe continues to push the boundaries of design technology.
I would like to suggest a potential new feature that would further improve accessibility and efficiency in design. Specifically, it would be immensely helpful to have an AI-powered feature that generates alternative text (alt text) for images directly within InDesign. This would be particularly valuable for creating accessible documents, as alt text…

ChatGPT Integration in InDesign for Text Editing and Proofreading
Please add an option in InDesign to integrate text review using ChatGPT. Ideally, this would function as a standalone panel, where we could log in with our own ChatGPT account. Through this panel, we would be able to have the text checked either as a proofreader or as an editor in a special mode—for instance, if the text overflows, it could be shortened to fit the box or page. Similarly, it could generate titles based on the text.

InDesign Cannot Set Actual Text (Accessibility)
InDesign Cannot Set Actual Text
InDesign has no way of setting actual text. This can only be done in PDF. Actual text is set when acronyms are used. Access technologies such as screen readers cannot properly read acronyms such as USA. They voice them as words, like "Youusah." Actual text has to be set for the document to be read correctly. This is a painstaking process that requires InDesign users to learn PDF Remediation, a highly specialized skillset that is typically outside the role of the average Graphic Designer. Currently, the process for setting actual text in Acrobat is as…

New Project Window, please sync with Main Window
I create a New Window for the project I'm working on, and place it on a second monitor. I do this to see the presentation mode while I edit. But when I move to new pages/spreads on the Main Window, this is not reflected in the New Window. That's not a big problem if I've moved one or two spreads. But if I have moved by a hundred pages on the Main Window, it takes a long time to move the New Window these 100 pages too.
It would be a really nice feature if InDesign had a Presentation Mode…

Add Options to remove bleeds and cropmarks while Import PDF comments
Sometimes I get PDF files with corrections to be applied to the next printing addition.
Usually publishers apply such corrections to the production PDF, with format cropmarks .
InDesign can import the PDF without bleeds and crop marks (as you turn on the import options), But.... unfortunately PDF Comments, there is no such option that you can opt out of crop marks and bleeds, etc.1 vote -
Examine an Existing PDF and Use Its Exporting Settings
Add the ability for Indesign (and other PDF-creating CSS apps) to read the settings used to create an existing PDF.
I understand that this would require new PDF format feature: the ability to store the PDF creation settings in a PDF file directly. (I've added that suggestion as "Include PDF Export Settings in PDF Files" under the Acrobat feature request section.)
The goal is for a user to be able to easily export a new PDF with the same export settings as those of an existing PDF—something which is currently frustratingly difficult to do.

Can InDesign assign attributes automatically in the XML while exporting it for translation purposes to identify new and translated content.
InDesign shoudl assign unique attributes automatically in the XML while exporting it for translation purposes to diffentiate the new and already translated content in the file.
When there is an update to an already translated file, and when we need to extract and resend the XML file which contains both the new content and the already translated content, the XML should contain unique attributes for the body content or must atleast have an option to tag the translated content with one specific attribute and the new content with a different one so that the translation team can identify the differences…

Test internal page hyperlinks in presentation mode
I don't know if this can even be possible, but it would be great to be able to test internal page hyperlinks in presentation mode (command + W), so that I don't have to export the PDF every time to test, rectify and test again. It will be especially useful for interactive PDFs with 100+ pages.
Thank you!
