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。

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.

If you group paths, the shadow rotates with the path.
Problem with InDesign version 2026: The shadow in InDesign rotates with the path. The problem is that sometimes you want to be able to rotate a series of paths, even complex structures, but the shadow doesn't rotate with the path. This is a problem. The only solution is to avoid using the shadow tool. You can create shadows alternatively with other paths, or you can have to re-edit all the shadows once the paths have been rotated. As far as I'm concerned, this is crazy. At least make sure that if the paths are grouped, this problem doesn't occur!

Rectangle frames that link to each other so images reflow when one is added or removed like text does in text boxes.
Please make rectangle frames able to be linked so images flow from one frame to the next like can be done with type boxes and text. I work on a 450 page catalog and sometimes there are images that get removed and currently we have to shift all of the images by hand. If the rectangle frames were linked we could delete an image and have the remaining images reflow automatically.

Place Gun Enhancement
We use InDesign in our printing department to place images for printing on our Epson Printers.
At the moment we have page templates with Auto-Fit frames placed and ready to accept the various sizes of supplied images (clients always manage to supply images to the wrong dimensions).Here's what we do :
1. Call up a template.
2. CMD-D to load the Place Gun with multiple files (anything from 2 to 50 - sometimes more).
3. Click in each frame to place the loaded images.Here's where I believe the procedure could be enhanced - in fact it's the only…

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.

QR code without borders
Generating QR Codes in Indesign is great, but one thing is designwise a hassle: the invisible border of the QR code. It changes also in size when the code is more detailed as before, or less.
for a designer this normed border is only slightly important – it's more important where the visible part, the code itself starts and ends.. so we can align it visually to our design. Please add this function.5 votes -
Enable non-contiguous text selection (like in MS Word)
I work daily on customized graphic projects — brochures, flyers, posters, catalogs — where manual precision is essential. In these kinds of jobs, using styles and automation is often unnecessary or even counterproductive.
It’s quite limiting that InDesign does not allow non-contiguous text selection within the same text frame, a feature that has been available in software like Microsoft Word for years (Cmd+click on Mac / Ctrl+click on Windows).
Being able to select multiple non-adjacent portions of text and apply changes to them simultaneously (bold, size, color, etc.) would be a major improvement for those of us who work in…

Option to hide only ruler guides in Normal View Mode
When working with complex layouts and many ruler guides, it can be a bit frustrating to work further with the layout as the guides can block the view.
Also, it would be nice to be able to see the layout without the ruler guides, in Normal View, while still seeing the bleed edge and margins. A cleaner look of the layout without looking without the bleed.1 vote -
No gap between QR-Code and surrounding object frame
... or else it is much more work to give the QR-Code an exact size or correct alignment with other objects.

Gaußscher Weichzeichner für Bilder und Schnittmaske über das ganze Bild
Damit man z.B. einen Glass-Effect in Indesign herstellen kann, ohne den Umweg über Illustrator oder Photoshop zu machen und es dann wieder in Indesign importieren zu müssen, wäre es prima, wenn man einen Gaußschen Weichzeichner hätte und eine Schnittmaske über das ganze weichgezeichnete Bild verwenden könnte, wie in Illustrator..
To create a glass effect in InDesign, for example, without having to go through Illustrator or Photoshop and then import it back into InDesign, it would be great to have a Gaussian blur and be able to use a clipping mask over the entire blurred image, like in Illustrator.

Easy Paste/Replace images
Normal behavior of clipboard handling (Copy/Cut & Paste), is that the content of the clipboard replaces the selected items. E.g: Copy a piece of text (to the clipboard), select another piece of text, choose Paste, and the selection is replaced by the contents of the clipboard.
But, unfortunately, InDesign breaks this rule, when trying to replace the content of an image frame.
It is not able to Copy the content of a frame, and replace the content of an other frame. We first have to remove the old content, and then choose 'Paste Into'. Why not make it intuitive like…1 vote -
Create auto align between selection & art boards like in Illustrator.
In Adobe Illustrator, when you select a single object, it will automatically change the alignment option to "Align to Artboard". Additionally, if you select more than one object, the alignment option automatically changes to "Align to Selection". I think this feature would be amazing in InDesign. It could work the same way where a single object or text is aligned to artboard and multiple are aligned to selection and maybe if you grouped multiple objects, it would go back to artboard until you select another group or object.

Arched Text similar to Illustrators Envelope.
I would love to see your team make an envelope “arching text” type of option similar to how Illustrator does it, especially if it could maintain its text editing capabilities. This would be very helpful because there are times when I am doing a Banner or Plaque or some other type of layout and the client requests arched text for the individuals names, and this can sometimes number in the range of 50-75 names. And having the arched text feature would allow me to create a master page for the general design template, and link the text boxes so the…

Add access to photo albums in InDesign
I am working on an art book which entails inserting many photos. Because my photo library includes many different types of photos, the art photos have been segregated into an album. Unfortunately I cannot access that album directly, which means I will have to move all of those images into another folder outside of photos in order to insert them with Place. Please add album access to InDesign. I have given ID full disk access but that does not make any difference.

Page blanche automatique dans un roman
Dans une mise en page d'un roman qui ne vient donc pas dans une fonction LIVRE, pas assez de pages pour cela. Il faudrait pouvoir configurer à l'intérieur d'un seul document que les pages où il n'y a pas d'objets, que les informations du gabarit n'apparaissent pas. Il faut toujours contrôler manuellement la mise en page pour changer le gabarit ou mettre un bloc blanc pour masquer. Ca serait pour faire comme la fonction d'ajout d'un page blanc dans la fonction livre, mais seulement en cachant automatiquement les éléments et que si une phrase est rajouté et se retrouve sur…

Notes de bas de page qui suivent dans un LIVRE
Créer la possibilité de faire suivre les numéros de note de bas de page d'un chapitre à l'autre qui sont regroupés dans un LIVRE, comme c'est le cas pour les numérotations de figuresç par exemple. Et également pouvoir faire suivre si la note est dans un bloc séparé, sans que les numéros recommence à chaque fois à 1. Pour les chapitres on peut le faire manuellement, pour les blocs différents à l'intérieur d'un chapitre c'est impossible à contourner le problème manuellement.

Copy-Paste takes very long
Kopieren und Einfügen von Elementen innerhalb eines Indesign-Dokuments oder zwischen Indesign-Dokument dauert sehr lange. Egal ob es große oder winzige Bilder, große PDFs oder einfach mehrere Textrahmen und Flächen sind: es gibt immer einen Lade-Ball. Dieses Problem besteht schön länger und ist mit einer früheren Indesign-Version aufgetaucht und seitdem immer so. Vor 10 Jahren war ich mit solchen einfachen Copy-Paste Aktionen deutlich schneller.

Add a Reference Point option when changing Document Setup
When changing document dimensions in File → Document Setup, there is no option to choose a Reference Point. This feature is very much needed — it would make resizing documents much more precise and efficient.
I truly don’t understand why this option still isn’t available. It’s an essential tool for accurate layout adjustments.

Dynamic text for Indesign please…..
It would save so much time — while Dynamic Text isn’t perfect in Photoshop Beta, it’s still great. Since InDesign is such a typographic powerhouse, though, it would make even more sense there — far more control, styles, and layout flexibility.
