Integration of AI Text Generator in Adobe InDesignIf InDesign had an integrated AI text generator, it would be wonderful. Having the ability to correct texts, check spelling and grammar, rewrite something that doesn't sound right, and so, would be a powerful tool for those of us working in editorial design. I think this feature is a no-brainer for a program like InDesign, but since Adobe doesn't have a text generator (that I know), we haven't seen it yet. Dreaming is free! I believe it's an incredible function, and it would be fantastic to have it in the future. Fingers crossed! 3 votes

Farbfelddialog InDesignLiebe 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 Stefan 2 votes

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… 2 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… 5 votes

Add access to photo albums in InDesignI 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. 1 vote

Allow inserting symbolic footnotes (e.g., asterisk *) without affecting numbered footnotesIn many types of publishing—especially academic, religious, and literary works—there is often a need to insert symbolic footnotes, such as a single asterisk (), double asterisks (*), dagger (†), or other custom characters, without affecting the numbering sequence of standard footnotes in the document. Currently, InDesign only supports one unified footnote style per document, which means that using a symbol instead of a number affects all footnotes globally. This makes it impossible to add a single symbolic note while keeping the rest of the footnotes numbered. Feature Request: Please consider allowing users to insert a one-time, manually defined… 2 votes

separations preview - keyboard shortcuts to toggle one channel on and offAt 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… 1 vote

Snap Frame to LetterformsPlease 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) … 2 votes

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. 8 votes

Add Ligature on/off button to the available space for the character type panelDue 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. 3 votes

Specify a master page for automatically-inserted blank pagesThe book functionality allows you to specify even/odd page starts for chapters, and allows you to insert a blank page if a chapter doesn't fall on the desired type of page. But nowhere can you select the master page to be used for the inserted page. This renders the feature crippled for a great many documents. For example, manuals and legal documents typically require "This page intentionally blank" on blank pages, to assure the reader that the document is complete. This is standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intentionally_blank_page The question has been raised of what happens if the parent you specified for blanks doesn't… 5 votes

Support for webp format when exporting to epub- InDesign currently supports the WebP format.
- 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.

Customise the context barThe context bar contains functions that I can access much more quickly via a shortcut, so I don't find it useful. 
 It would be useful if the context bar functions could be customised.4 votes

Toi et Moi Engagement Ring: A Timeless Symbol of Two Souls United in LoveA toi et moi engagement ring is one of the most romantic and meaningful designs in jewelry history.

Featuring two gemstones set side by side, this style perfectly represents the balance of individuality and togetherness in a loving relationship. The toi et moi ring became famous in the 18th century when Napoleon Bonaparte gifted a sapphire and diamond version to Josephine de Beauharnais, marking it as a powerful emblem of love and devotion.… 1 vote
