  1. Performance on Apple Silicon

    I’m writing to report ongoing performance issues in Adobe InDesign that the latest update unfortunately hasn’t resolved.

    On my Apple Silicon Mac Studio (M2 chip, 64 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD) running macOS Sonoma 15.1.1 (24B91), even simple tasks like switching between a text box (T) and an object (V) have a noticeable delay of about half a second. This was never an issue on my older Intel-based MacBook Pro with Adobe CS, and it’s making normal daily work in InDesign frustratingly slow.

    For comparison, Illustrator performs flawlessly, with instant responses as expected, making the difference between the two apps…

  2. 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…

  3. Please stop ID files flying back open from the dock (Mac)

    When I've minimised an ID file in the dock (on the Mac), work on something else and then close it, the minimised file flies back open. Or minimising a file, then opening something else, the minimised doc opens up again and comes to the front. Please make any minimised doc stay there, until I call it back. I know it's there, I put it there for a reason.

  5. Rearrange Blank Document Presets in InDesign for Custom Order

    I'd love to be able to rearrange blank document presets in InDesign.

    The four options that show on the new document popup are presets that I'll never ever have to use (Letter, Legal, Tabloid, Letter-Half).

    I'd much rather re-order the presets to show A3, A4, A5, A6 first etc.

  10. Big bug that's been bugging me for too long: the extracted directory has a lot of duplicate entries.

    I've been researching this for a while and I've kind of found the reason.
    It's when you set “Skip header rows on first page” for some tables that are actually only one page long, that's when the problem occurs.

    But I hope adobe will improve it, because you don't know which tables don't end up spanning the page.
    You forget about it, and when the client finds out, you get yelled at, or even become an accident.

    The current solution can only save as IDML, but you can't save as IDML very often.

    The sample file is here.　Please download the…

  11. Ability to set a layer to high res preview permanently

    It would be great to be able to set a layer to high res preview permanently. So that everytime you opened a document it remembered that Layer 2 for example needs to be high res preview.

    Reason for this: I work with a lot of dies in packaging, and when I link to them they always lose the high res view, but I need the high res view for the die so I can precisely design.

    Yes, I'm aware I can copy and paste the die from illustrator into InDesign, but when you are working with numerous files, it's best…

  12. Indesign 2024 not working with window-snapping apps

    I recently upgraded to InDesign 2024. I use BetterSnapTool to arrange my app-windows in order to have a efficient and practical workflow. But InDesign 2024 does not work with BetterSnapTool (BST) or any other window-snapping apps due to this reason I received from the BST support:
    "Unfortunately all window manager apps on macOS are affected by this, Adobe has broken their window resizing behavior in their recent updates. Their products do not respond correctly to window resizing requests using the macOS Accessibility API anymore. As of now I don't think there is anything I can do to fix this. If…

  14. Make Edit Original available with Adobe Experience Manager

    Hello, we recently implemented Adobe Experience Manager as our DAM and since then we lost the EDIT ORIGINAL option for our links in InDesign which is a heavily used feature for us given that some of our designers are spending a lot more time having to open different tools to edit each link. Anyway we can get that back?

  16. New Project Window, please sync with Main Window

    1. 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.

    2. It would be a really nice feature if InDesign had a Presentation Mode…

  17. 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".

  19. 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…
