Better printing options
Since Publisher is being discontinued by microsoft I have switched to indesign looking for a replacement. I am loving many of the features but it is VERY difficult to print from indesign myself. I literally have to click into 3 windows and a separate drop-down to make sure my files are printing the right direction, on the right size paper, and if I need a flip, flipping the right direction. Also, There is no preview option, I especially miss the preview option in publisher where I can lower the opacity and see what the front and back flipped pages will…

Ability to sort swatches by most recently used
I have to scroll down a lot to get to the swatches I'm creating, so it would help to be able to resize the window or sort by most recent to the top.

"Preview" checkbox selected by default in ALL dialog boxes
Please make it to where the "Preview" checkbox starts out checked by default.
OR: why not get rid of the box altogether.
We definitely want to preview the changes we're making w/o having to check an extra box every time.

lowercase icon should match the other text modification icons in the Control Panel
With InDesign 20.4 the option to lowercase text was added. But the icon in the Control Panel differs from the other icons shown there.
Please modify it, maybe like I did in the image attached to this feature request:
red = actual UI
green = better versionOf course the icon team of Adobe will make an even better solution than my simply drawing.

indesign 2024 version needed!!!
Hi, I need a 2024 version of Indesign because my INDD file shows damaged. The only way to recover is to open it with the old version which it was created from. This is very important to me. Thank you

Add sentence case to character options
Add sentence case to the character options (alongside all caps, small caps, lowercase, etc.). My clients often send content with titles typed in all caps, and I’d like a quick, reliable way to convert them to sentence case (and/or title case).

In Adobe InDesign, I am unable to set a table row height greater than 211.667 mm. However, this limitation does not occur in Microsoft Word, where larger row heights can be applied without issue. Could you please advise on how to address this restriction in InDesign?
We need to add this feature in Indesign

Grids in Document setting
Grids do not belong to the app settings. Should be part of document settings.
Rework Styles/Settings.
In Styles, the tabs are not logical.
How is Language and 'Advanced Character Format'?
Why is 'Align to Grid' part of 'Indents and Spacing'?
Lots of work to do there.1 vote -
Save current document as a preset
It would be a better way to save presets, when a preset can be saved from the current document the user is working on. And then a dialog should appear to choose which settings should be included e.d. Document settings, grids, margins & columns, Parents, Styles, ...
The current way is quite useless.

Advanced color options
I'd love to be able to define a custom CMYK / RGB pair in a single color swatch. There are Corporate Designs with a huge difference of the CMYK and RGB equivalents in their brand colors. So if I design a document that'll be used for viewing on screens and also printed, I have to maintain & update two versions of the document with two different sets of colors. If there's a solution to this, that'd make my day.

Save/Load Ink Manager Configurations within one file.
I'd like to be able to save and load Ink Manager configurations, particularly ink alias sets, within a file.
Use case: I have a series of labels that are, except for color scheme and copy, exactly the same. I'd love to be able to produce the different color variations simply by loading a set of aliases. I could change the color configuration of each label variant simply by loading the ink manager alias set for that colors scheme, starting from a SINGLE master file, without having to resort to identical layers in different colors, etc.
My goal here is to…

Invite without sending a notification
It'd be great to have the ability to invite WITHOUT sending an invitation email. As an enterprise user who has to reach out to many internal departments – we do want multiple eyes on the document, however only at certain times in the process. It would be nice to be able to batch add the permissions to view the document but then not send invites so we can then individually assign tasks for collaboration through the comment system during the design and feedback process.
If you look at how Google achieves this through sharing permissions it would be similar a…

When using Find/Replace, show how many instances were found.
If I'm trying to find something in a document to modify it slightly, I'll use Find to find it. If there's only two instances of the thing occurring, than I can just quickly manually fix it. If there's 200 instances though, then I know I either need to be more specific in my search or start writing some GREP. The problem is that I have no way of knowing how many times the thing I'm looking for occurs, and if it's a lot I would have to click through "Find Next" an unknown number of times. When replacing items, there…

InDesign Document Icon Previews in macOS Finder
Hi. Please, can we have InDesign files in MacOS Finder show the document preview. See attached screenshot for exactly what I mean.
I have relied on 3rd party developers over the last 10+ years (ArtView and inddPreview.app) to provide this essential feature. Unfortunately Apple has dropped support for legacy plugins (so called Quick Look generators) so inddPreview.app has stopped working.
I have over 15,000 InDesign files, and to now do what is usually a quick visual finder search is impossible with the Finder only showing the generic InDesign Document Icon. (Yes, I can use Bridge, but this is a clunky…

See Page Content Order and Structure Types (as in Acrobat) in InDesign
The InDesign/Acrobat accessible PDF workflow is a nightmare. Fixing reading order and tags in Acrobat is one particularly frustrating aspect of that nightmare.
It would be very helpful – and a major time-saver because of these issues in Acrobat – to be able to see Page Content Order and Structure Types, as displayed in Acrobat when the Reading Order tool is active, in InDesign so that issues can be resolved BEFORE export to interactive PDF.
A much more productive solution would be to have live updates in Acrobat as changes are made in InDesign. I'd be seriously impressed if you…
