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.

   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. Expand Support for Typesetting in Arabic and Other Right-to-Left Languages

   My company does a lot of design work that has to do with getting information about public health and safety to audiences for whom English is not a first language. Clear, careful communication of these topics and issues to all people—in their native languages—is essential. It ensures that everyone has the same access to information about their health and well-being.

   When we translate our designs, that often includes languages that read from right to left, like Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew. However, there is currently no reasonable method for working with right-to-left text in InDesign for designers who work with both kinds of text. All the solutions currently available are clunky workarounds. Even with those workarounds, setting right-to-left text is still very difficult, so the margin for error working with text in these languages is still very high. That means the people who speak these languages are more likely than native english speakers to receive inaccurate information.

   One solution is to download the Middle East version of Indesign, but that solution is only temporary because that version of the program doesn't handle Latin characters correctly. You have to constantly uninstall and reinstall the correct version for the language you are working with, which is not a viable option for projects that use both kinds of language.

   Please integrate functionality for right-to-left typesetting in the English (North America) version of InDesign and, in general, expand language support for all languages within the software. I guarantee there are many designers who struggle with this issue but who are quietly putting up with the workarounds. Meanwhile, people who speak languages other than english are less likely to receive reliable, accurate information that is critical to their lives in their own, native tongue.

4. Add "First Paragraph Options" within Paragraph Styles

   Feature Request:
   Introduce a new section within Paragraph Style Options called "First Paragraph Options" (similar to how "Drop Caps and Nested Styles" works). This would allow users to define specific formatting rules that apply only to the very first paragraph in a consecutive sequence of paragraphs sharing the exact same style.

   The Problem:
   Currently, when a style is applied to multiple consecutive paragraphs, any formatting specific to the opening paragraph requires creating a separate, dedicated paragraph style.

   A classic example is book typesetting:

   • The first paragraph of a chapter or section should not have a first-line indent, while all subsequent paragraphs should.
   • Long block quotations spanning multiple paragraphs require the first paragraph to have no indent, while the following ones do.

   Creating two distinct styles (e.g., "Quote First" and "Quote Body") creates a major issue with layout automation: the "Space Between Paragraphs Using Same Style" option breaks down. Because InDesign sees them as two different styles, it applies the standard "Space After/Before" instead of the unified spacing, forcing manual adjustments or complex workaround styles.

   Proposed Solution:
   Allow a single Paragraph Style to handle the exception for the first paragraph. If the style is applied to three consecutive paragraphs, InDesign should automatically detect the first one and apply the specific overrides defined in the style (such as removing the first-line indent or adding a drop cap), while maintaining the "Space Between" logic seamlessly across the entire block.

5. Reset the “Table Options > Alternating Fill” for each frame

   "Table Options > Fills > Alternating Fill" is very useful.
   However, if the table spans multiple frames, the next frame may start with the color of the second line.
   This specification is of great significance for instantly judging odd/even numbers in a row, but sometimes it is not desirable if it is simply for visual purposes.

   For example, like the header option "Once per Frame", the next frame/page requests an additional option that allows you to apply the color set as the first line.
   Of course, it covers rows, columns, fillss, and strokes evrything.

   <にほんご>
   表の属性「表の属性 > 繰り返しの適用」をフレームごとにリセットしたい

   「表の属性 > 塗りのスタイル > 繰り返しの適用」は、とても便利である。
   しかし表が複数フレームにまたがる場合、次のフレームが2行目のカラーで始まってしまうこともある。
   この仕様は、行の奇数/偶数を瞬時に判断するためには大きな意義があるが、単にビジュアルを目的とした場合は好ましくない時がある。

   例えばヘッダーのオプション「フレームごとに 1 度」のように、次のフレーム/ページは1行目として設定したカラーを適用できるオプションの追加をリクエストします。
   当然、行、列、塗り、線、すべてを対象とします。

6. Align to the Top & Bottom of a Text Frame in InDesign [Smart Paragraph Styles]

   Hi everyone geometry vibes

   I’m working on an InDesign layout and want to align text precisely to the top or bottom of a text frame while keeping the formatting flexible.

   Does anyone have a good workflow for achieving this with Smart Paragraph Styles? I’m especially interested in a method that works consistently when the text length changes.

   Any tips, settings, or examples would be greatly appreciated.

   Thanks in advance!

7. Disable feature annoucements and in app ads

   Please add a simple, consistent option to the preferences of all Adobe desktop apps to permanently disable notifications about additional features and ads within the desktop apps!

   For paying Pro subscribers, it is more than unprofessional to be annoyed by unwanted pop-ups and notifications while working!

   In my opinion, subscribing to the newsletter or getting updates about new features on the home screen is enough to stay up to date.

9. ID Plugin App for ChatGPT

   I am an independent author and publisher using Adobe InDesign to prepare books for print and digital publication.

   I strongly encourage Adobe to prioritize an official InDesign integration with ChatGPT. I need a conversational interface that can work directly with an InDesign document, inspect the full layout, adjust paragraph and character styles, manage parent pages, preserve Hebrew and right-to-left text, identify overset text and page-flow problems, update the table of contents, run preflight checks, and help export a print-ready PDF.

   The current InDesign interface has a difficult learning curve for independent writers who need professional book production but are not full-time graphic designers. A ChatGPT connection or simplified AI dashboard would allow authors to explain what they need in ordinary language while retaining InDesign’s professional layout engine.

   This is important to my decision about continuing my Adobe subscription. If Adobe does not provide a practical conversational workflow within the next one to two years, and ChatGPT or another company offers a simpler standalone publishing application, I would seriously consider moving away from InDesign.

   Please treat this as both a feature request and subscription-retention feedback. I would prefer to remain with Adobe, but the workflow must become considerably easier and more accessible for independent authors. Thank you for your attention.

   I can be reached at sales@smbpublishing.org

10. Add a CAI Content Authenticity panel to let users check image provenance

    It would be helpful to have a CAI (Content Authenticity Initiative) panel in InDesign to allow users to check the "Cr" content credentials on placed images.

    (Adobe is one of the founders of CAI, so it should be implemented in all Adobe tools.)

13. Support Multiple PDF Preset Exports During File Packaging

    The Problem:

    Currently, when finalizing a project, designers must manually run multiple export cycles. We have to export a clean "Proof" PDF (no crops/bleeds) for client approval, and then a "Print" PDF (with crops/bleeds) for the press vendor. Doing this separately for every single job adds unnecessary clicks, wastes time, and introduces the risk of human error (e.g., forgetting to update one of the PDFs after a last-minute edit).

    The Requested Feature:

    Expand the "Package" dialog box settings to allow users to select multiple PDF Output Presets simultaneously via checkboxes.

    When the user hits "Package," InDesign should automatically generate all selected PDF presets and place them directly into the final packaged folder.

    Why This Helps InDesign Users:

    Efficiency:

    Cuts the time spent on manual file handoffs in half.

    Accuracy:

    Ensures both the proof and production PDFs are generated from the exact same state of the layout, eliminating version confusion.

    Streamlined Workflow:

    Makes file packaging a true one-click solution for production artists.

14. Add a 'Discretionary Page Break'.

    When working on a document, paragraphs can break up over pages. To get more control over these page breaks a 'discretionary page break' would be nice: like a discretionary hyphen, this should mark the preferred location for a page break.

    Combine with keep options and some extra settings, this could provide a lot of comfort when working on documents in progress.

15. Tenía una pequeña duda sobre la reserva antes de mi viaje.

    Unos días antes de mi viaje, revisé mi reserva y noté algo que quería aclarar. No se trataba de un problema grave, pero no quería dejar el asunto para el último momento y tener que resolverlo en el aeropuerto.

    Empecé a buscar información sobre el servicio Air Canada Telefono, ya que quería saber qué opciones de asistencia había disponibles para mi consulta. Antes de hablar con alguien, verifiqué los detalles de mi reserva y reuní toda la información que pudiera necesitar.

    Tener a mano el número de reserva, las fechas del viaje y el itinerario facilitó enormemente el proceso. También me resultó útil consultar la información de asistencia de la aerolínea, ya que allí encontré respuestas a temas como reservas, equipaje, reembolsos y otras dudas frecuentes de los viajeros.

    La principal lección que aprendí de esta experiencia es que es mejor resolver las dudas con antelación en lugar de esperar al día del viaje. Revisar todo no me llevó mucho tiempo, pero me dio tranquilidad antes de emprender el viaje. Visit: https://reservarvuelos.com/atencion-cliente-aerolineas/air-canada/

16. Restore color books

    For some reason, I am not able to add one of the preset colourbooks to my files.

17. Make it possible to Redefine the current selected text to any existing Style

    In many cases a restyled text should not redifine the current style, but another (unused/old style) E.g. when creating a subheading from the Plain text style. If there was a Style called 'Subheading' already, it would be nice to let the selected modified plain text directly redifine that 'Subheading' style, in stead of creating a new one, find out the Subheading already exists, delete it etc.

18. Allow use of numerical font weights instead of labels

    Please include an option to use font numerical weights in paragraph/character styles. Font weight labels are not standardized among fonts. A variant could be labelled Normal, Book, Regular, Roman, or any other label that the font foundry thought was a good idea at the time. That means in my character style menu, there are many different labels corresponding to the same weight.

    If InDesign internally tracked its weights numerically, I wouldn't have to use a separate character style for different uses of Semibold just because one foundry calls it "Semi Bold" or "SemiBold" or "SemiBd". CSS has this feature even for static fonts, so I know more than just variable fonts support this sort of functionality: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Properties/font-weight

    This functionality doesn't even need to be directly exposed to the user; rather it could be a change to how InDesign (and Illustrator) treats font variants internally. If you use "SemiBd" for a character style, it would simply use the corresponding numerical weight if that character style is being used with a different font that doesn't call that weight "SemiBd".

    If InDesign internally tracked its weights numerically, I wouldn't have to use a separate character style for different uses of Semibold just because one foundry calls it "Semi Bold" or "SemiBold" or "SemiBd". CSS has this feature even… more

19. Create an option to for non-sticky paragraph and character styles

    Paragraph and Character styles are great, but for new users or in environments where files frequently change hands, they can be hard to teach and manage due to them being 'sticky'. If you select a character style with no text selected, it stays selected and will then be applied to all future text, same for paragraph styles. For experts, this is a feature; for new users it is a bug. The layer panel has "ungroup remembers layers" which is a very obscure setting, could the styles panels please have "Styles are not sticky" added as an option to the fly out menu?

20. "Print Booklet" needs option to export to pdf instead of just postscript

    Print designers need the option to export as print spreads, which is currently only available as a postscript file. Adobe's distiller is no longer up to the task of easily converting files to pdf, plus it's an extra step that should be built in natively to InDesign. Yes, many printers do this after receiving your file but some print shops ask for print spreads to be delivered to them. This should have been baked into a print layout program from the beginning.
