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.

bring back PageMaker file (.PMD) support or a conversion option in new InDesign versions
Hello Adobe Team,
I would like to request that Adobe InDesign once again include support (or at least a conversion feature) for opening PageMaker (.PMD) files.Many designers and publishers still have important archives created in PageMaker, and it has become very difficult to access or update those files since modern InDesign (CC versions) no longer supports them.
Even a simple "Convert PMD to INDD/IDML" option or a legacy import plug-in would be extremely useful. It would save time, preserve historical work, and help users migrate old projects without depending on outdated software like InDesign CS6.
I Know this is…

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 -
Farbfelddialog InDesign
Liebe Entwickler, liebe InDesign-Gemeinde,
ich habe einen kleinen Erweiterungswunsch, der aber die Arbeit erleichtern würde. Fügt bitte in den Farbdialog zwei Pfeile ein mit denen man zwischen allen angelegten Farben hin- und herschalten kann. Da brauche ich bei Änderungen nicht immer den Dialog verlassen und per Doppelklick in die nächste Farben gehen.
Viele Grüße

Improve links palette to include AI file color information
The Indesign Links palette should show the Adobe Illustrator file document color mode so that I can easily verify that art is CMYK without having to open it in Illustrator. Raster images show RGB, CMYK or Grayscale, but AI files currently give no color information. I understand this might be challenging for EPS or PDF files, but AI files have a Document Color Mode that you must be able to parse from the file.

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…

Turn off blue dots in menu
The blues dots adressing new functions in the menus are distracting. In the preferences menu there could be and option to turn them off.
It's rather annoying for a seasoned pro user to allways have to click the functions to turn the circle off.
However, some circles are permanent. We got blue light random places in the menu. It's bad UX with no possibilities to turn them off. Now the UI is getting cluttered in showing off whats new with dots that will not disappear.

Keep active links when placing PDFs in InDesign
When you place a PDF with text and links into an InDesign file, the links are lost when you export the final file to PDF. This happens because InDesign treats the placed PDF as an image, so the links do not stay active. It would be very useful if the links of a placed PDF could remain active when exporting from InDesign to PDF. Thanks

custom page numbering
When you want to number the pages differently than the standard correlative, for example with a date system, weekly, monthly... There is no automatic option for the pages to be numbered by day of the week. If in addition to the options 1, 2, 3... 01, 02, 03... a, b, c... i, ii, iii... you add a "custom" with a popup to a list of... for example 20 custom fields (for months, weeks, work groups, jobs...) would be perfect.

pages rounded corners
There is no way to predict how a project with rounded corners will look, be it a book, business card, flyer... We can create boxes with rounded corners, but we don't have the option to do the same with pages, choose the type, radius...

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.

ai generation
Indesign is saving ai generate images in documents system drive by default, which causes problems when I work sometimes from home and at time out of the office on my laptop. Also problems making packages.
With the new version came out, I was surprised that we still can't choose our wanted prefered lacation - like a shared driver so I can access those ai generated images from anywhere. I still have to go to Utilities, copy links to - FOR EVERY SINGLE JOB. It's impossible to work like this.
Would appreciate a fix1 vote -

Subject: Request to Reintroduce Removed Features and Add New Enhancements in the Latest Adobe Version
Manual Second-Line Indent Adjustment Using Shift Key:
In earlier versions, within the Tab Settings panel, we were able to manually adjust the second-line indent by pressing and dragging with the Shift key. This provided precise and quick control over hanging indents. In the current version, this functionality has been removed, causing difficulty in achieving the same results efficiently. New Features Requested for Addition:Missing “Title Case” Option in Paragraph Style > Basic Character Formats:
Previously, users could set text to “Title Case” directly inside Paragraph Style > Basic Character Formats. In the latest version, this option no longer appears, forcing…

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.

Impossible to copy comments from InDesign Reviews — very inconvenient for workflow
It is extremely frustrating that comments left in InDesign Reviews (Share for Review) cannot be copied. Often, I need to paste a comment into a search bar, a style name, or simply save it for documentation. Having to manually retype every single comment is a waste of time and increases the risk of errors. Please add the ability to select and copy comment text directly from the Review panel. This is a basic feature that should not be missing.

Add the ability to color code window tabs and allow custom tab names that are not linked to the actual file name.
Description:
The current window tab design in InDesign can become cluttered, especially when working with multiple files that have long names. The tab size automatically adjusts to the length of the file name, which leads to a cluttered workspace, making it difficult to quickly locate and switch between files. I suggest two enhancements:The ability to color code window tabs, allowing users to visually differentiate between files at a glance.
The ability to edit the tab name independently of the file name, so users can give tabs more intuitive or customized names without altering the actual file name. This would…

Auto delete imported remarks after accepting them
When importing a pdf with remark/correctionss , its impossible to delete multiple remarks after accepting them. It would be great to have an option that deletes the remark after accepting it. I often have 700 pages books with 3000+ remarks. Indesign becomes soooo slow.
