Place Images Behind Text Without Outlines
Description:
In Adobe InDesign, there is currently no option to place images behind text without converting the text to outlines or paths. In Photoshop, this is easily achieved using layer masks and clipping masks. It would be highly beneficial to have a similar feature in InDesign, allowing users to place images directly behind text that can still be edited (font, size, and content) without converting it to outlines.Benefits for Users:
Increased flexibility and efficiency when working with text and images
Ability to maintain the editability of the text (users can continue to adjust font, size, and wording)
More intuitive…4 votes -
ツールの互換性について
Compatibility between InDesign and Illustrator, with the same specifications and usable features as Illustrator, such as text boxes and point characters, object appearance features, etc., and with grouped objects from the CC library also remaining editable from Illustrator. Please allow copy-paste from Illustrator to InDesign with grouped objects from the CC library still editable.

Make other type of non-separable characters
Sometimes, on dealing with math questions, we need to use measurament unities like "kg/cm²" and the character "/" wrap the line, separating a measure that is one itself. So I think it might be nice to include other non-separable characters than space and hyphen, like non-separable "!", "()", "/", ", etc. Maybe it could be even an option in the character panel...

Please fix text boxes after accepting a PDF comment
When importing PDF comments and accepting the markup/comment, the text box becomes unresponsive until you click off and back on multiple times. This has been an unaddressed bug for years. I am working on a catalogue with over 1,000 comments, this is going to double the time it takes to work on each page. Please fix this bug

Button to uniform Master page(s) margins to the whole Document margins
In the Layout/Margins and Coloumns window menu when I have selected a Master Page, I find no way to re-uniform the margins to the original margins set for the entire document. This would be a useful feature: when I changed the format adding 4mm to my 17x24 cm to be 17x24,4cm as the standard used by Amazon kdp for paper format, I would like to preserve the preceding paging by adding 2 mm to the inferior and superior margins. I did it in the menu File/set document for the whole document, but I saw my pages did not update since…

epub permissions
When a team member moves on, and their Adobe account cancelled, all live ePubs published under that account are lost, and the links currently out in the world are broken. I would like to see an additional option in the Publish Online Dashboard that allows users to add/transfer permissions to another user or the master account.

Remove the floating "help with a feature items"
I wanted to share some feedback regarding a recent usability issue I’ve experienced across several Creative Cloud applications, including Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and Acrobat.
In recent updates, each of these programs has introduced tool-specific pop-up panels or hints that appear when a tool is selected. While I understand the intent is to offer helpful tips or highlight features, these pop-ups are consistently disruptive to my workflow. They frequently appear directly over the content I'm working on and are difficult to reposition. Even when I move them off the canvas, they often reset to their original (obstructive) location whenever I switch…

Option to "Rasterize All Pages" in EPUB Export
My organization needs the ability to rasterize all pages in a document when exporting to a Fixed Layout EPUB.
InDesign EPUB export currently only supports rasterizing the first page or individual objects. Neither of these are sufficient for our needs. We publish graphic novels with complex, overlapping design elements, and we need the pages to look exactly as they do in regular PNG exports.
Our current workaround is to export PNG's from InDesign, and then use an additional software to assemble the images into an EPUB, which is incredibly time-consuming.

Books. Please add more control from scripts
Book. Add more control from scripts: reading state from Book panel (highlighted items).
Maybe add a new property to BookContent (boolean), what signals whether this element is highlighted on a book panel.1 vote -
Espacio de trabajo universal y personalizado entre apps de Adobe
Hola Adobe 👋
Soy diseñadora gráfica y trabajo con Illustrator, Photoshop e InDesign a diario. Estas aplicaciones comparten muchos paneles (Capas, Alinear, Color, Transformar, etc.), por lo que me gustaría poder crear un espacio de trabajo personalizado y universal, que se sincronice entre las apps de Creative Cloud.
La idea es simple: si un panel existe en esa app, que se muestre en el lugar donde lo puse; si no, que lo ignore. Pero que respete mi estructura visual y estilo de trabajo, sin tener que volver a crear manualmente el espacio de trabajo en cada aplicación.
Además, cada vez…1 vote -

Check GenAI Images in Preflight
Add GenAI images to Preflight profiles. This is especially important since GenAI images default to saving to the user's computer, which is not ideal in a collaborative environment where other users will see broken links.

table accessibility
InDesign to PDF - Table Accessibility. Please add a way to scope and add an ID to table heading cells. Add a way to then associate table headers to data cells. Ensure that the table elements are properly exported to PDF tags. No table tags are available to be mapped to any InDesign style using Export Tags.

Please create an option in Layout > Table of Contents to "Clear Character Styles" for the "Styles in Table of Contents."
Currently (v19.5 in 2024), any Paragraph Styles used in the "Styles in Table of Contents" carry over any associated Character Styles, which makes a real mess of the ToC Entries. We can manually reapply the ToC style to the entries after updating the ToC, but there should be an option to automatically clear character styles from the Paragraph Styles added to the ToC.

Performance on Apple Silicon
I’m writing to report ongoing performance issues in Adobe InDesign that the latest update unfortunately hasn’t resolved.
On my Apple Silicon Mac Studio (M2 chip, 64 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD) running macOS Sonoma 15.1.1 (24B91), even simple tasks like switching between a text box (T) and an object (V) have a noticeable delay of about half a second. This was never an issue on my older Intel-based MacBook Pro with Adobe CS, and it’s making normal daily work in InDesign frustratingly slow.
For comparison, Illustrator performs flawlessly, with instant responses as expected, making the difference between the two apps…

Nesting bookmarks trought multiple files within an InDesign book
I would like to be able to nest bookmarks by creating, for example, a nest of bookmarks in one file and then in another file (which is still part of the book) using the same name assigned to the bookmark nested in the previous file, so that I can continue to insert content within the same nest.
The result would be = 1 large group containing all the bookmarks I am interested in.This could be done by taking a cue from the variant/variable renaming system that currently exists in Figma.
For example, if I want to put the bookmark…
