1. 拗促音（小仮名）へのルビの文字かけを許容するオプションの追加

   現在、InDesignのルビ設定「文字かけ処理」では、「無制限」以外のすべての設定において、拗促音（小仮名）への文字かけが許容されない仕様となっています。 しかし、実際の日本語組版、特に縦組みの文芸書においては、拗促音への文字かけが強く求められています。この仕様のために、組版作業において大きな支障が生じています。

   提案

   1. デフォルトの動作は「許容しない」ままとする（既存の仕様を維持）
   2. 環境設定に、ドキュメントのデフォルトを「許容する」に変更できるオプションを新設する

   理由

   • 既存の仕様である「許容しない」は、互換性維持の観点からデフォルトのままとすべき
   • 「許容する」設定は、個々のルビ設定で変更するのではなく、ドキュメントごとのデフォルトとして設定できるようにするのが望ましい。そのため、環境設定で制御できる形が適切である

2. Proposal for Native Persian Language Engine in Adobe InDesign

   Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

   I hope this message finds you well.
   As a long-time user of Adobe InDesign in the publishing and design industry in Iran, I would like to bring to your attention a significant challenge that many Persian-speaking designers and publishers face when using this powerful software.

   Adobe InDesign has become the cornerstone of layout and design for books, newspapers, and magazines in Iran. However, despite the availability of the Middle Eastern (ME) version of InDesign, Persian is not natively supported. Instead, the software relies on Arabic language support, which leads to a range of issues due to the fundamental differences between the two languages.

   Key Issues Faced by Persian Users:
   Lack of a native Persian text engine: The current reliance on the Arabic engine causes incompatibilities, as Persian includes additional characters such as "پ", "چ", "ژ", and "گ" which are not present in Arabic.

   Different glyph shapes and behavior: Persian text often renders incorrectly or inconsistently due to glyph mismatches or substitutions, requiring manual adjustments.

   Default LTR text boxes: When creating a new text frame, the default direction is left-to-right, which is impractical for RTL languages like Persian. This requires constant manual correction or the use of custom scripts.

   Inefficient workarounds: Designers often resort to JavaScript scripts and time-consuming tweaks just to achieve proper Persian text handling.

   Proposal:
   To address these issues and significantly improve the experience of Persian-speaking users, I respectfully propose the following:

   Develop a native Persian text engine alongside the Arabic one in the ME version of InDesign.

   Automatically enable right-to-left direction when Persian is detected or selected as the document language.

   Provide complete support for Persian glyphs and typography, separate from the Arabic implementation.

   Consider Persian-specific typographic features, such as justification behavior, kashida, and numeral handling.

   This improvement would not only benefit users in Iran but also the wider Persian-speaking community worldwide, including Afghanistan and Tajikistan. We believe that Adobe, as a leader in creative software, has the vision and capacity to make InDesign more inclusive and better adapted to a wider range of global languages.

   Thank you for your time and for continuously developing such a powerful tool. We hope you will consider this request and help bridge this longstanding gap in support for Persian language professionals.

   Sincerely,
   Akbar

3. Make the tools in the toolbox customizable so we can rearrange the tool layout

   Make the tools in the toolbox customizable so we can rearrange the tool layout like you can in Photoshop. I'd like to simply be able to arrange the tools in a way that benefits my workflow and hide some tools I rarely (or never) use. This is basic functionality, such an obvious feature — and it's so annoying that it is not available.

4. Preference to Disable the Contextual Menues (annoying pop ups), legg issue

   1. Preference to DISABLE the Contextual Menues! Pros don’t need spam like tutorials poppig up while working, it’s annoying and awful disturb the concentration while the work, disturb also the speed of the program. Please.
   2. Option (On-Off) to disable Ai function, which is probably a big part of the reason for the program leggs. There are still a lot of people which don’t need it and don’t want to get it like spam.
   3. InDesign never legged so hard as do it now. Please fix it.

5. Persistent Tutorial Pop-ups in InDesign

   Dear Technical Support,

   I am experiencing persistent issues with Adobe InDesign, where tutorial pop-ups and annotations for new features continue to appear, even after repeatedly clicking the "Skip" button. This behavior is highly irritating and disrupts my workflow. Could you please advise on how to disable these pop-ups?

6. 字取り機能の改善リクエスト (improvement to "jidori" feature request)

   日本語版独自の「字取り」機能で設定できるのは「文字数」に限られているため、不便な場面が多いです。
   文字数以外の設定はテキストフレーム/フレームグリッドに関わらずフレームグリッド設定に依存します。これを知らずに「字取り」を使いこなせていないユーザーも多いです。

   添付画像 1 に示したのは、私が不便だと感じたケースの全てです。そして（ ）の中には私の仕事での主な使い道です。
   本文とはサイズの異なる文字（見出し段落に字取りを用いる場合が多い）
   字間の広げられたフレームでの挙動（おまけ）
   ストーリー内に配置された、文字サイズの異なる表（一般に表の文字サイズは本文より小さい場合が多い）

   私はこれらの問題を、アンカー付きオブジェクトを挿入、
   あるいは「字取り」を用いずに、
   ホワイトスペースを挿入、トラッキングで調節、文字前後のアキ設定
   などで代用しています。
   つまり、とても不便なのです。

   今回、代案を考えてみました。なかなかの時間をかけました。
   皆さんの賛同が欲しいです。

   添付画像 2 は文字パネルのスクリーンショットです。
   従来のグラフィカルなコントロールを廃止し、フライアウトメニューに格納することで、より詳細な設定を可能にすることを提案します。
   これは「縦中横」や「割注」、あるいは「下線」や「打ち消し線」と同様に扱うこととします。

   添付画像 3 は設定ダイアログのアイディアです。
   まず先頭に、他の機能と同じようなチェックボックス。
   これで「字取り」をオン/オフします。
   次に、ラジオボタンで
   1 文字サイズ、字数、字間 の３要素で設定、
   2 字取りの幅（縦組み時は高さ）をダイレクトに設定
   を選択します。

   いかがでしょうか。

   jidori feature improvement request

   The "Jidori" function unique to the Japanese version can only be set to "character count," which is inconvenient in many situations.
   Settings other than the number of characters depend on the frame grid settings regardless of the text frame/frame grid. Many users are unaware of this and are not able to use the "Jidori" function well.

   Attached image 1 shows all the cases I found inconvenient. And in parentheses ( ) are the main usages in my work.
   -Characters of different size from the main text (in many cases, the character spacing is used for heading paragraphs)
   -Behavior in frames with extended character spacing (an added bonus)
   -Tables of different font sizes placed within a story (in general, the font size of tables is often smaller than the body text)

   I have solved these problems by inserting anchored objects,
   or without using "Jidori",
   I have used whitespace, tracking adjustments, and tracking/leading aki.
   In other words, it is very inconvenient.

   This time, I tried to come up with an alternative. It took me quite a long time.
   I would like VOTE.

   Attached image 2 is a screenshot of the text panel.
   I propose to do away with the traditional graphical controls and store them in a fly-out menu.
   This should be handled in the same way as "TateChuYoko", "WariChu", or "Underline" and "Strikeout".

   Attached image 3 shows an idea for a settings dialog.
   First, a checkbox at the top, similar to the other functions.
   This will turn on/off the "Jidori".
   Next, radio buttons for
   1 3 elements (Font size, number of characters, and character spacing),
   2 Directly set the characters width (or height for vertical formatting).
   Choose one of the above.

   How do you like it?

   The only slight drawback is that it is not compatible with lower versions of the application at all.
   But isn't it nice?

7. New utility feature called: "Move Link(s) To...".

   It would be great to have another utilities feature called: Move Link(s) To...

   Ideally it would function the same as Copy Link(s) To... but instead of copying it would just move the files.

   This would allow for a cleaner file setup where you can move all your files from a document into one location without packaging and having the files as duplicates on your computer.

8. Specify a master page for automatically-inserted blank pages

   The book functionality allows you to specify even/odd page starts for chapters, and allows you to insert a blank page if a chapter doesn't fall on the desired type of page. But nowhere can you select the master page to be used for the inserted page.

   This renders the feature crippled for a great many documents. For example, manuals and legal documents typically require "This page intentionally blank" on blank pages, to assure the reader that the document is complete. This is standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intentionally_blank_page

   The question has been raised of what happens if the parent you specified for blanks doesn't exist in the file that needs a blank page appended.

   The most straightforward solution (and easiest to implement) would be to add the "blank"-page parent selector to the indd file instead of to the book. Suggested UI attached.

10. [Scripting] Edit QR Code

    It would be good if we could read the contents of an Indesign-generated QR Code via script.

    Currently it is possible to read the contents by exporting the QRCode graphic as a snippet and reading the XML. We see this:

    
    <PlainTextQRCode Self="ueb" PlainText="https://adobe.com">
        <Properties>
            <QrCodeSwatch type="string">Black</QrCodeSwatch>
        </Properties>
    </PlainTextQRCode>
    
    

    but this is an obscure and time consuming approach and it would be sensible to be able to derive the "https://adobe.com" value directly via the scripting API, and ideally change it—causing the QR Code to regenerate.

    I'm not sure how best to implement... maybe a new method: Graphic.getQRCodePlainTextContents() and Graphic.setQRCodePlainTextContents(myString) etc.

11. UI for tool panels to have 'fixed' sizes

    Please add an option (as it may not be for everyone) to fix the size of the height of the tool panels, regardless of what tab is selected. It drives me mad that it jumps around so much, when selecting a different tab, and that resizes the entire column. Please can it just remain fixed, so all the tabs are where I left them, regardless of what's selected? The screenshots aren't even the worst that I've had, it's just two seconds of flicking through different tabs and seeing how they're all affected

16. Integrate Optical Margin Alignment into Paragraph tab

    Currently, the Story tab is a standalone tab, offering only one checkbox: the Optical Margin Alignment option. This functionality, in my opinion, is closely related to paragraph adjustments, such as paragraph alignment within text boxes. Given its nature, it seems more intuitive and efficient to integrate Optical Margin Alignment within the Paragraph tab or the main text formatting panel.

    Adding the Story tab to my workspace alongside essential tabs like Character, Paragraph, and various styles consumes more horizontal screen space than necessary. Once positioned next to other panels, the tab's label, "Story," becomes difficult to read due to the limited space.

    By integrating Optical Margin Alignment into a more appropriate existing tab, users could enjoy a streamlined and space-efficient workspace.

17. Gutter control on spreads for facing-pages layout that require bleed on the inside edges

    There are several requests for this that don't use correct terminology, so I'm going to add this one to hopefully consolidate votes on this long overdue feature. When working on facing-page projects that are not bound with glue, it is imperative that graphics and color that goes to the inside edge have bleed into the gutter. There is no gutter bleed support for parent pages in InDesign, requiring us to create two spreads with bleed across the gutter from either side to support pages that need that gutter bleed on export. Then we have to separate the pages in the layout so that the gutter is accessible on every page that has graphics or color to the inside edge. This is a massive amount of work for something that should be build into the spreads. We should be able to create facing page spreads with a gutter that we can then bleed our design into. Please, please, please add this! I'm so tired of the workarounds, which require twice as many parent spreads and the constant shuffling of pages to keep track of necessary gutter bleed. I've been using ID since version 1.

    There are several requests for this that don't use correct terminology, so I'm going to add this one to hopefully consolidate votes on this long overdue feature. When working on facing-page projects that are not bound with glue, it is imperative that graphics and color that goes to the inside edge have bleed into the gutter. There is no gutter bleed support for parent pages in InDesign, requiring us to create two spreads with bleed across the gutter from either side to support pages that need that gutter bleed on export. Then we have to separate the pages in the… more

18. Show preflight errors not at the margin of the screen

    Preflight is showing the locations of the errors it has found somewhere in the margin of the screen. Sometimes at the top, sometimes at the bottom (see screenshots).
    This is a bit annoying when taking a closer look. Any chance to change this to "in the middle of the screen"?

19. Possibility to insert multi-language variables in one document

    I would like to be able to insert multilingual variables in InDesign, within a single document. I often have to produce multilingual documents and have to insert dates, texts and so on.... I would like to be able to insert these variables in different layers of a document (e.g. ‘Italian’ layer = Italian text variable; ‘English’ layer = English text variable and so on).

    I think this could be a good function to add in future versions.

20. Add Native Slug Area and Mechanical Dimensioning Tools (Inspired by Mechanical Cubed + Illustrator's Dimensions Tool)

    As a freelance Production Designer and Creative with a fine arts background, I work across pharma, retail, and packaging—where detailed mechanicals, slug data, and precise dimension callouts are a daily necessity. One of the most essential—but frustratingly missing—features in InDesign is the ability to efficiently manage mechanical specs and slug information natively.

    To bridge this gap, many of us rely on plug-ins like Mechanical Cubed and Slug Cubed from Triple Triangle Inc. These tools automate the placement and consistency of critical production data—such as trim, bleed, dimensions, and job metadata—directly into the slug area.

    Interestingly, Adobe Illustrator already includes a built-in Dimensions tool, so it’s surprising that InDesign—Adobe’s flagship print and layout software—lacks this capability.

    InDesign would benefit greatly from native tools that:

    Automatically generate and manage mechanical dimension lines

    Populate standardized slug info using document metadata

    Apply reusable slug templates across multi-page or multi-SKU files

    Lock dimension and slug elements to prevent accidental edits

    These features are essential in high-volume environments where accuracy and consistency are just as important as creative execution.

    By integrating this functionality directly into InDesign, Adobe can streamline workflows for production artists, packaging designers, and print creatives—many of whom already rely on workarounds or third-party solutions to fill this gap.

    Happy to share real-world examples of how this functionality has saved time and improved production precision.

    Thanks for considering this suggestion.
