  1. Add Eyedropper function to swatch options

    Add eyedropper functionality to Swatch Options so that I can quickly sample a colour from anywhere on my screen to change an existing colour (similar to photoshop colour picker).

    I am in the process of updating a calendar which has numerous elements coloured by month name on each page - the client has given me an image of 12 swatches to change each month colour and an eyedropper would make this much easier...

  2. Add "Repeat last action" feature, as is done in Word by pressing the F4 key

    Let's say I perform some action with some object. For example, I change the cell fill, or paragraph keep options, or page size, or anything else. I want to be able to go to another place in the document (or in another document), select another object and press the shortcut to repeat the same action with it.
    MS Word and Powerpoint can do so and it's very convenient.

  3. Improve performace

    It would be great to be able to utilize multiple processor cores and GPU for PDF export. InDesign versions have been stagnant in terms of export speed for a few releases. I think it's time to improve this and move towards a more modern architecture.

  4. The 'character direction' function for Arabic text layout

    The 'character direction' function does not exist in the new version of Indesgin (2024). As a result, I cannot layout an Arabic text correctly. How can I do this?

  8. Line Spacing in Story Editor

    Seems like it would make more sense if you could edit the line spacing for the story editor as you would in any text box, rather than being locked into just a few options. For instance, someone might find it easier to read at 1.15 spacing, or want to customize for another reason.

  9. Fully black theme

    As a low vision user, I'd appreciate if there was a fully black inDesign theme. I use the darkest, but it'd be nice if there was a total black background option.

  12. Preflight Profile for Accessibility

    Add options to run accessibility checks in InDesign. Acrobat already has the ability to run an accessibility check. It would be so helpful to be able to run a preflight check for issues (e.g., alt text, table headers) before exporting.

  13. Serbian language

    Hello, on behalf of all the page layout designers from Serbia, I am asking you to include support for the Serbian language in a future version of Indesign. We use both Cyrillic and Latin letters equally, so this option would mean a lot to us.
    Thank you!

  15. Better Relinking to CC Libraries

    I'd love to see some much needed quality of life/functionality improvements to CC Libraries in InDesign when relinking:

    • Ability to Search when relinking

    • Ability to see/sort by groups when relinking

    • Ability to change view (thumbnail/list) when relinking to CC Libraries

    • Infact, anything more than the current 'Relink to CC Librarires' functionality, which is literally just a list of every single asset in that library sorted by name

    We have thousands of assets in some of our libraries, which are all nicely sorted by group. But this is useless when this is completely ignored by the CC Libraries panel.

  18. Text Frame Row Options

    Right now, text frames in Indesign only allow you to divide into columns. It should also give to divide into rows as well

    In Illustrator, for text frames you have this option. See screenshot.
    You can do it with by creating a table, but you cannot make it reflowable like a normal text frame.

    It would be a fabulous feature have.

    Please do same for Indesign, PRETTY, PRETTY PLEASE.

  20. Add Suffix Customization

    I regularly use InDesign to build layouts destined to be JPG or PNG, so this new feature is very much appreciated, BUT when using the + Page Size suffix, the suffix includes spaces [eg."1260 x 350"] rather than the more web-friendly underscore or even better no spaces at all please. [eg."1260x350"]

    I've been using the [absolutely wonderful] Batch Rename feature of Bridge to fix this after the fact, but wondering if it would be possible to be able to choose/customize the suffix content more.
