  1. 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: …

  2. 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

  4. Conditional Vertical Justification

    Add a new option to the Vertical Justification settings for text frames: "Conditional Justify".
    Behavior

    When Conditional Justify is selected, vertical justification is applied only when the text frame is sufficiently filled.
    Add a numeric field: Content fill threshold (%).
        If the frame’s text occupies a percentage equal to or greater than this threshold, the frame receives full vertical justification.
        If the frame’s fill is below this threshold, the frame uses the chosen fallback alignment.
    

    Fallback option

    Provide a dropdown: Fallback alignment with the classic vertical choices: Top, Center, Bottom.
    

    Notes / Suggested defaults

    Default Content fill threshold: 90% (editable).

  5. Establish a display of current baseline grid “increment every ##pt” and also a link to change in the paragraph styles menu.

    I teach design at the Univ of MN. I stress the importance of utilizing baseline grids, but students are constantly confused how to establish and modify them despite my best efforts. For how vital baseline grids are, the modification of their settings seem very hidden with the settings panel. Also the language surrounding baseline grid is vague — align to grid could mean the square grid, the column/margins grid, or the baseline grid.

    By establishing a display of the current baseline grid settings in the paragraph styles (indents & spacing), a more obvious connection to that grid would be created.…

  6. 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…

  7. Is there a way to make “long text variables” wrap automatically?

    Is there a way to make “long text variables” wrap automatically?
    Sometimes I encounter very long chapter titles, and when using variable headers, they don't wrap automatically. Is there a good solution for this?

    Currently, all the text is crammed into a single line.

  8. Native Support for Bibliographic Citations and Plugin Integration with Reference Managers (Zotero, EndNote, Mendeley, etc.)

    Unlike Microsoft Word, Adobe InDesign lacks built-in tools for managing bibliographic citations, in-text references, and automated bibliography generation. This is a major limitation for users creating academic papers, scientific publications, books, theses, or any long-form documents with sources.Currently, we rely on workarounds like:Drafting in Word with citation plugins (e.g., Zotero, EndNote, Mendeley), then placing static text into InDesign.
    Third-party scripts (e.g., zot2indd for Zotero), which are unofficial and limited.

    Requested features:Native dynamic citation fields (similar to Word's References tab) for inserting in-text citations and auto-generating/updating a bibliography.
    Official plugin/extension support or API integration for popular reference managers like Zotero, EndNote,…

  9. CRITICAL: Restore Hebrew Nikud Functionality in InDesign (Latest Versions) Issue:

    Issue: The latest Adobe InDesign versions have broken Hebrew nikud (vowel points) rendering, which worked perfectly in older versions. This is preventing designers, publishers, and educators from properly typesetting Hebrew religious texts, children's books, educational materials, and more.

    Impact: Thousands of users working with Hebrew content are either:
    Losing productivity and revenue

    Request: Please restore full nikud support as it existed in previous versions. This is not a feature request—it's a critical bug fix for a writing system used by millions.

    If you work with Hebrew text in InDesign, please vote to prioritize this fix! 🙏

  10. Convert imported bullets to bullets when assigned bulleted style.

    When you assign a bulleted paragraph style to pasted or imported text, convert the imported bullets to the paragraph style bullets (instead of treating the imported bullets like the rest of the text resulting in bulleted bullets). It's tedious deleting, either manually or via F&R, all the imported bullets.

  11. Allow ignoring white spaces in Find/Replace

    it would be good if, the same way you can select "Case sensitive" in the find/replace, you could select "ignore white spaces" or "special characters" and only finds plain text with normal spaces.

    For example, if you try to find a sentence that has non-breaking spaces, n-spaces, manual line breaks, etc, unless you add all those characters codes to the find field, InDesign won't be able to find the text. If you were able to ignore all those "special" characters you could find and replace the whole sentence with the text you want with normal spaces.

    This would be really…

  12. Snap Frame to Letterforms

    Please add an option to align text frames by the actual letterforms instead of the font’s bounding box.

    InDesign currently uses the em-box and sidebearings, which means misaligned text when trying to align separate text boxes that contain different styles or type sizes. This makes precise alignment for headings/subheads really frustrating.

    Illustrator already allows bounding boxes that hug glyphs more tightly, so it feels like a big gap in InDesign.

    Proposed solution: Add a toggle or context menu option (e.g. “Snap Bounding Box to Text” or “Align to Glyph Edges”) so users can switch between:

    Align to Frame (current behavior)

  13. Better handling of vertical text on a path

    I can't get proper spacing on a vertical list of numbers. inDesign is still treating the spacing as if it's horizontal. None of the 400 numbers are spaced properly. Unfortunately the customer has to use canvas to make it work. InDesign should do this easily and be able to use data merge for numbering.

  14. Produce intuitive result while quad-clicking + pasting replacement text from external source into InDesign on lines with paragraph styling

    Currently this behavior causes the pasted text to adopt the paragraph style of a neighboring paragraph instead of retaining the styling of the replaced paragraph. It is probably not a bug but a feature, I feel needs to be changed so it works more intuitively.

  16. Add Ligature on/off button to the available space for the character type panel

    Due to the recent update (June 2025), there is now an open space for another button on the character style in the Control Panel. The design with the additional space is throwing me off when clicking on Superscript. Adding a button for turning Ligatures on and off would absolutely make life easier. Right now you can turn on/off in character and paragraph style panels, or you have to go to the drop down Menu in the Character panel.

  17. Footnote Numbering Across Independent Text Frames

    Currently, footnote numbering continues only within threaded text frames. It would be extremely helpful if footnote numbering could optionally continue across separate, unlinked text frames within the same document. This would allow for more flexible layout designs without breaking numbering consistency.
