  2. Spell check

    My biggest frustration is the mediocre or completely missing spell check. It may work in English, but unfortunately not in Dutch. For me, and I believe for many others as well, this could be a great update.

  3. Subject: Request for 'Point Type' tool in InDesign (Like Illustrator)

    Hi Adobe Community and Team,

    I am transitioning from CorelDRAW and Illustrator to InDesign for my publication projects. While I understand that InDesign is frame-based, I find it very cumbersome that we cannot simply click and type without manually creating a text frame first.

    In Illustrator, we have 'Point Type' where a single click allows us to start typing immediately. This would be a huge time-saver for small labels, page headers, or quick annotations in InDesign as well.

    Is there any plan to introduce a 'Point Type' behavior or a shortcut to create a text frame with a single click…

  4. "Select Fully Enclosed Objects Only" Mode

    Subject: Addition of a selection toggle to include only objects entirely within the marquee area.

    Problem Statement:
    Currently, InDesign’s selection tool (Marquee Selection) selects any object that the selection frame touches (Crossing Selection). In complex layouts with large background elements or overlapping frames, this behavior forces users to constantly lock layers or manually deselect unwanted items, significantly slowing down the workflow.

    Proposed Solution:
    Introduce a toggle (e.g., in the Control Panel or Preferences) or a modifier key (e.g., holding Alt while dragging) that changes the selection logic. When active, only objects situated 100% inside the marquee rectangle will be selected.

  6. Place and Link to user to work without having to map new styles

    To the InDesign Product Team,

    I am writing to provide feedback on the Place and Link (Content Collector) workflow. While the ability to sync text content across a document is invaluable, the current implementation of the "Parent-Child" relationship is overly restrictive and creates significant manual rework for designers.

    The Problem: Currently, when a Parent object is updated, the Child object frequently reverts its font size, frame dimensions, and character treatment to match the Parent—even when "Preserve Local Overrides" is enabled. While "Style Mapping" exists as a workaround, it is an overly complex solution for a simple design need: keeping the…

  8. Set "Align to Key Object" default to select the object on the bottom layer

    Feature Request: Set "Align to Key Object" default to select the object on the bottom layer

    Hello! I've been using Adobe Creative Suite products for about 20 years, and one feature that would be a huge and helpful time saver is to switch the default settings for the "Align" > "Align to Key Object" feature. Currently, the feature appears to always default to having the top object as the key object. However, in most cases when I want to use Align to Key Object, I want the bottom object to be the key object. Because of the current default, it…

  9. Page numbering starting with 0 (zero)

    Page numbering in InDesign can start from 1 oder any other higher number, but not from 0 (zero). Though this might be a rare case, this case occured to me for a type of documents that use zero-based indexing for page numbering.

  10. How Strict Is the 4 Font Sizes Rule in Real Projects?

    Hi everyone,

    I’m a bit confused about the rule of using only 4 font sizes. Should this rule apply to the entire website or just per page (including header and footer geometry dash scratch )?

    For example, on blog pages I prefer 18px for readability, but on e-commerce product pages 16px works better for labels and compact layouts.

    How do you handle font sizing when a site has both long-reading content and more functional pages?
    Do you keep one consistent scale across the whole site, or adjust per section?

    Would love to hear your thoughts!

  11. Large UI – Is there a way to make it smaller?

    Hi everyone, survival race

    Even at the smallest available UI size, everything still feels too large for me. In previous versions, I was able to use a much smaller (tiny) UI setting, which worked perfectly.

    Is there any way to reduce the UI size further?
    I’m using a 1080p HP laptop screen.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

  15. Easier way to maneuver through different opened documents

    I often work with multiple documents pulled up at once. It is difficult to maneuver through them when they don't all fit on that top banner. I wish I could have certain folders for certain projects.

  16. color replacement

    I received a file from a client created in InDesign, and the following issue occurred: the text was in CMYK colors, and we needed to convert them to Pantone. However, when replacing the CMYK color with the corresponding Pantone in the color palette, the text shifted, as shown in the attached video.

  17. Proposal for Native Persian Language Engine in Adobe InDesign

    Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

    I hope this message finds you well.
    As a long-time user of Adobe InDesign in the publishing and design industry in Iran, I would like to bring to your attention a significant challenge that many Persian-speaking designers and publishers face when using this powerful software.

    Adobe InDesign has become the cornerstone of layout and design for books, newspapers, and magazines in Iran. However, despite the availability of the Middle Eastern (ME) version of InDesign, Persian is not natively supported. Instead, the software relies on Arabic language support, which leads to a range of issues due to…

  18. [ID-4274540] Support for JPEG XL (.jxl) import/placement

    Dear InDesign Team,
    Please add native support for the JPEG XL (.jxl) format in Adobe InDesign.
    While JPEG XL is already supported in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, InDesign currently lacks the ability to place or export .jxl files. With Apple now using JPEG XL as a standard for ProRAW (starting with iPhone 16 Pro) and its superior compression and HDR capabilities, it is becoming a critical format for high-end publishing and photography workflows.
    The lack of support forces users into unnecessary conversion steps (to TIFF or PSD), which increases file sizes and slows down the workflow.

    Key benefits for InDesign…

  19. Conditional Vertical Justification

    Add a new option to the Vertical Justification settings for text frames: "Conditional Justify".
    Behavior

    When Conditional Justify is selected, vertical justification is applied only when the text frame is sufficiently filled.
    Add a numeric field: Content fill threshold (%).
        If the frame’s text occupies a percentage equal to or greater than this threshold, the frame receives full vertical justification.
        If the frame’s fill is below this threshold, the frame uses the chosen fallback alignment.
    

    Fallback option

    Provide a dropdown: Fallback alignment with the classic vertical choices: Top, Center, Bottom.
    

    Notes / Suggested defaults

    Default Content fill threshold: 90% (editable).

  20. Alternative to GREP: keywords

    Grep styles are incredibly useful to use, and I use them very frequently. However, sometimes I would simply like to apply a style to a long list of keywords. To illustrate an example, I like to apply a style to game terms when writing for TTRPGs.

    This is technically doable via Grep but quickly becomes unwieldy when the list of words is long. I would love some way to include a large list of words and automatically apply a character style to any word that appears in that list. Alternatively, a way to quickly copy all grep styles from one…
