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 basisI 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…

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…

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>

Title Case button (and options) in the Control Panel
After adding the much appreciated Lower Case button in the Control Panel there is an awkward empty space there. It would be great to add the Title Case button there as it is a widely used application of case styling.
Along with the button it would be good to have options for the title case that could be opened with an ALT/OPT-click on the Title case button. This would be great in conjunction with FR https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/37521424-improve-title-case
Having the possibility to exclude certain words from the title case is needed as there are several styles of how to write Title Case: …

Turn off AI alt-text by default and add spell check to Alt Text

見開きドキュメントのノド側に塗りたしを追加したい
PUR製本など見開きの良い製本を行う場合、ミーリングとしてノド側にも塗りたしを作成する必要があります。そうしないと見開きで絵柄が繋がっている場合は良いのですが、センターで絵柄が切り替わる場合に、印刷用に面付を行った時に、ミーリング部分に対抗ページのノド部分が出てきてしまい段差になってしまいます。現状そのままでは塗りたしを追加することが出来ないので、ドキュメントページの移動を許可のチェックを外し、ページパレットで見開きページを片方ずつ交互にずらしたのち、それぞれのページに塗りたしを追加しています。ただこれを行うと見開きとしてのレイアウトプレビューが出来ない、スプレッドでPDF書き出しが出来ないなどの不都合が起こります。なので必要に応じてノドのミーリング部分のアキをオンオフ出来るような機能があるととてもありがたいです。

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.)

pdf intelligenti
Attualmente, chi esporta un PDF deve decidere tutto prima: pagine singole o affiancate, con o senza crocini, ecc. Il problema è che spesso chi riceve il file non specifica cosa vuole, e se sbagliamo l'esportazione non va bene.
Non sarebbe fantastico se InDesign potesse generare un PDF in cui è chi riceve il file a scegliere come vederlo? Ad esempio, con dei semplici tasti per attivare o disattivare i crocini di taglio o per passare dalle pagine singole alle affiancate.
Sarebbe una svolta: noi designer invieremmo un solo file "completo" e il destinatario potrebbe adattarlo alle sue esigenze con un…

"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.

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!

It would be really useful to have a Locate Object (magnifier glass) at the bottom of the Layes Panel (like we find in Illustrator).

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
- 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）
- 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

Better visibility for table border selection (Stroke panel)
When editing table borders in the Stroke panel, the small preview grid that represents the cell borders is very hard to see and use. The active line selection is indicated by a very thin and pale blue highlight, which is almost invisible on high-resolution or bright displays.
This makes it difficult to tell which borders are selected or to accurately click on them. The hit area for these lines is also extremely narrow, which further reduces usability.
It would be a major improvement if the highlight: had stronger color contrast or adjustable color (for example, a red or darker highlight),…7 votes -
export multiple PDFs (different presets) at once from one InDesign file
When I package a file for print, I often need to export an additional "Smallest File Size" PDF as well. Would be great if that could be done with a single export.

Preference to Disable the Contextual Menus (annoying pop ups), lag issue
- 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.
- 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.
- InDesign never legged so hard as do it now. Please fix it.

Ability to specify a baseline start in a Paragraph style
Would like to use a Paragraph style to be able to set the first line of a paragraph to a specific baseline. For example, on a page like this the first paragraph also needs to start on the same baseline, but there wouldn’t always be a byline, so I would need to make another, or multiple, Paragraph styles for the main head (“Foreword”) in order to sink the first paragraph to the same baseline.

Custom App Assignment for ‘Edit Original’ in InDesign
It would be useful to introduce a feature in InDesign that allows assigning specific applications for opening files when using the "Edit Original" command, so that, for example, you can choose Photoshop for .jpg .jpeg .png, Illustrator for .pdf .ai etc...
In this way, it is possible to keep the most common settings for the operating system, such as opening .jpg files with the Photos app and .pdf files with Acrobat.In InDesign there is already the option to assign a keyboard shortcut to start "Edit Original," but not one for "Edit With...," which greatly slows down the workflow.

Make Paragraph Styles Apply Parent Pages and Section Starts
- Would like to have an option to apply a Parent page based on the Paragraph style. Similar to Mastermatic, but in the Paragraph style dialogue.
- Would like the option to have a Paragraph Style set a section start. As it is, if, for example, you set page 22 as a section start, but later need to delete pages 20 and 21, the page numbering now goes 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24 etc. For this reason I don’t use section starts and thus don’t use the TOC function. But I would like to use the TOC function and this…

How Can I Preserve Image Quality When Converting Slides to PDF?
I’m having trouble keeping image quality high when converting my presentation slides to PDF. Every time I export or print to PDF, the images become blurry or grainy. I already tried using the survival race “Print to PDF” option, but the resolution still drops noticeably.
Does anyone know the best settings or tools to preserve image quality in PDFs?
