1. separations preview - keyboard shortcuts to toggle one channel on and off

   At the moment, the separations preview has the ability to toggle ON an individual channel by using a keyboard shortcut e.g. viewing the Cyan channel only can be done by going cmd + opt + shift + 1. Similar shortcuts can be used for the M Y & K channels as well as 5 spot channels, and all 4 process channels at once. However, they only toggle the separation ON. What would be preferable would be the ability to toggle a channel OFF.

   Here is a use-case: I'm a finished artist inspecting a magazine layout from my designer. They have used thin tinted black type over coloured areas and these will be an issue later. However to see this I have to - using my mouse - toggle the black eyeball on and off of the black separation to see where the white knockout of this light type would be. A preference would be to have a keyboard shortcut to toggle the visibility of the black channel only on and off, while keeping the other channels visible.

2. Preflight incorrectly flagging Adobe fonts as "protected"

   Adobe InDesign's preflight is displaying an incorrect message whenever Adobe fonts have been used in artwork. The specific warning is "Fonts not allowed: Protected" and then suggests to change the font to something else.
   I feel that Indesign is false-flagging these fonts as they behave differently to other fonts that are usually installed or referenced on a user's machine. If anything, the preflight shouldn't warn about them at all if they are correctly loaded.

3. Feature Request: Apply Paragraph Styles to Non-Contiguous Paragraphs (Ventura Publisher-Style) Dear Adobe InDesign Team, I’d like to reque

   Feature Request: Apply Paragraph Styles to Non-Contiguous Paragraphs (Ventura Publisher-Style)

   Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

   I’d like to request a feature that would greatly improve workflow efficiency: the ability to select non-contiguous paragraphs and apply a paragraph style to all of them at once.

   This was a standout feature of the early Ventura Publisher, which used a structure-first approach—encouraging consistent use of styles over manual formatting. With Ventura, you could quickly tag multiple scattered paragraphs (like subheads or captions) and assign a style with a single keystroke. InDesign currently requires each paragraph to be styled individually unless using GREP or Find/Change.

   Adding this ability—perhaps via a paragraph tagging tool, enhanced multi-selection support, or scriptable UI—would save time, promote structured design, and benefit long-form publishers, editors, and template-based workflows.

   Thanks for considering,
   Mike Wiley
   InDesign User & Former Ventura Publisher User

4. 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 useful in the translation industry where many times whole sentences need to be replaced by copy and paste from a Word document once the text is already laid out and formatted.

5. 6 odd things InDesign needs to fix

   6 Odd Things InDesign Needs to Fix
   After having used InDesign for a while, I encountered the following difficulties. Some may be due to my own inexperience—in which case I welcome feedback on how to resolve them—while others may well be issues with the software itself.

   1. Scrolling up and down like Word. InDesign shifts left and right like a monkey on ice, which is downright irritating. This may not be an issue if you are working on just a few pages, but if it’s a book with 500 pages, it becomes very annoying.

   2. Fully justified text. The last line should be left-aligned. Does this really need to be specified? I asked Copilot, and the suggestion was to set it in the paragraph styling. But my version of the software does not seem to have such a setting.

   3. Pages cracking up. The pages sometimes do not display properly.

   4. Zoom feature using touchpad. This functionality appears to be missing.

   5. Blue and pink page frames. The page frames are distracting and cannot be fixed or customized. They move about, multiply ... very disturbing and difficult to fix. This is especially frustrating when you need to insert diagrams or pictures into the text.

   6. Diagrams not tied to text blocks. Diagrams float independently, and if the pages reflow, they go out of sync.

   Thank you
   James

7. 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)

   Align to Glyph Edges (new option)

   This would save huge amounts of time and eliminate clunky workarounds like converting text to outlines, using proxy rectangles, or constantly drawing new guides and nudging objects.

8. Convert Page Guides to Spread Guides

   I would like to suggest a small but highly useful improvement for a future update of InDesign.

   Currently, when guides are placed within a single page, there is no built-in way to convert them into spread guides (guides that span across the entire spread), unless they are re-created manually while holding Ctrl/Cmd during placement. This becomes especially frustrating when a layout contains a large number of precisely positioned guides that need to be extended to the full spread — for example, after a reorganization of pages or when switching from single-page to spread layout.

   Feature suggestion:
   Please consider adding an option to convert selected page guides into spread guides directly — either via right-click context menu (Convert to Spread Guide) or through a menu item under Layout > Guides.

   This small addition would greatly improve workflow efficiency and reduce repetitive manual adjustments in guide-heavy documents, particularly for designers working on magazines, catalogs, or editorial layouts.

   Thank you for your continued development of InDesign and for listening to user feedback.

   Kind regards

9. 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 cette page, les informations du gabarit reviennent.

10. 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.

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

12. 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.

13. 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.

17. 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.

18. Urgent: Flatplan workflow feature request for InDesign / Bridge (critical for all magazine publishers)

    Hi Adobe team,
    We’re honestly desperate at this point.

    We’ve been trying for weeks to reach someone from Adobe who could even acknowledge this topic — through enterprise support, admin console, chat agents, even our reseller — and it’s absolutely impossible.

    It’s insane that even as an enterprise customer, we can’t reach a real product contact to talk about something so fundamental.
    We’re part of BurdaMedia International (Czech Republic), publishers of ELLE and ELLE Decoration.

    But this isn’t just our pain — it’s something every single magazine publisher still using InDesign is facing.
    There’s simply no native way to plan or visualize flatplans, page structures, ad positions, or collaborative magazine layouts inside Creative Cloud.

    Legacy systems like WoodWing or K4 are outdated, overpriced, and don’t fit today’s workflows — yet Adobe still doesn’t offer even a lightweight in-house alternative.

    Here’s what we’re asking for:
    → A Bridge-based flatplan module (or workspace) that can visualize InDesign pages as individual, draggable objects.
    → The ability to reorder pages, assign colors or labels (editorial, ad, marketing), and link InDesign or PDF files to each position.
    → Automatic renumbering in InDesign when page order changes.
    → Optional PDF preflight and simple export for final issues.

    It’s a technically simple concept — no new platform, just a smarter integration between Bridge and InDesign — but it would solve a huge, decades-old workflow gap.
    This isn’t just about convenience for publishers.
    It’s about Adobe’s relevance in real production.
    If tools like Affinity Publisher or Apple (after acquiring Pixelmator) start offering integrated flatplan collaboration, many teams will start moving away from InDesign.

    We love Adobe, and we’ve built our entire production workflow around it — but right now, we’re forced to sketch magazine layouts in Excel.
    That’s… absurd in 2025.

    Please — could someone from the InDesign or Publishing Solutions product team contact us so we can share our technical brief and prototype concept?

    We’re ready to collaborate and show how easily this could be implemented.

    But this isn’t just our pain — it’s something every single magazine publisher still using InDesign is facing.
    There’s simply no native way to plan… more

19. Switching language resets preferences and breaks app recognition in Creative Cloud

    I’m writing as an enterprise customer managing multiple Adobe Creative Cloud licenses across a multilingual team. We frequently switch UI languages and reassign machines, so consistent environment management is essential to maintaining workflow stability.

    When switching InDesign’s UI language through Creative Cloud (for example, from Czech to English), all user-specific settings — workspaces, keyboard shortcuts, export presets, print settings, and scripts — are effectively lost.
    This happens because each language version maintains a separate preferences folder (csCZ, enUS, etc.) with no migration or shared profile mechanism. After changing the install language, Creative Cloud also misidentifies previously installed applications as uninstalled, causing confusion and unnecessary duplication.

    This design makes environment management extremely inefficient for enterprise and multilingual users. Reconfiguring an entire setup every time a language or workstation changes is unproductive and error-prone.

    At the enterprise level, we expect:
    1. Centralized, cloud-synced user preferences tied to the user’s Adobe ID — covering shortcuts, workspaces, scripts, and presets.
    2. Team-level sharing and deployment of those settings to ensure consistency across multiple users and systems.
    3. A proper migration utility for switching application language or version.
    4. A cleaned-up folder structure, as the current InDesign and Creative Cloud environment creates excessive fragmentation and clutter across system directories.

    Additionally, it’s quite concerning that as an enterprise customer, there’s no direct way to reach Adobe’s product or technical teams through the Admin Console. Even with enterprise credentials, the only available channel to report structural issues like this is via public forums. That’s not acceptable for enterprise-level support expectations.

    Adobe software produces one of the most chaotic preference folder structures in the industry. Modernizing this system to a unified, cloud-based model would eliminate countless hours of redundant setup and maintenance.
    This issue directly impacts productivity, IT efficiency, and user experience in professional environments. Please escalate this internally to both the InDesign and Creative Cloud teams for review.

    I’m happy to provide detailed workflow examples or configuration data if that helps the product team understand the enterprise-level impact.

20. Support for webp format when exporting to epub

    1. InDesign currently supports the WebP format.
    2. ePub 3.0 supports WebP Therefore, it would be beneficial if, when exporting to ePub, the image retains its original format and does not convert it to JPEG or PNG format. This ensures that the quality of the images used in the eBook remains high while maintaining a low file size.
