  1. Place Gun Enhancement

    We use InDesign in our printing department to place images for printing on our Epson Printers.
    At the moment we have page templates with Auto-Fit frames placed and ready to accept the various sizes of supplied images (clients always manage to supply images to the wrong dimensions).

    Here's what we do :
    1. Call up a template.
    2. CMD-D to load the Place Gun with multiple files (anything from 2 to 50 - sometimes more).
    3. Click in each frame to place the loaded images.

    Here's where I believe the procedure could be enhanced - in fact it's the only…

  3. [Scripting] Edit QR Code

    It would be good if we could read the contents of an Indesign-generated QR Code via script.

    Currently it is possible to read the contents by exporting the QRCode graphic as a snippet and reading the XML. We see this:

    
    <PlainTextQRCode Self="ueb" PlainText="https://adobe.com">
        <Properties>
            <QrCodeSwatch type="string">Black</QrCodeSwatch>
        </Properties>
    </PlainTextQRCode>
    
    

    but this is an obscure and time consuming approach and it would be sensible to be able to derive the "https://adobe.com" value directly via the scripting API, and ideally change it—causing the QR Code to regenerate.

    I'm not sure how best to implement... maybe a new method: Graphic.getQRCodePlainTextContents() and Graphic.setQRCodePlainTextContents(myString)

  4. Nikud

    Please fix the nikud-glyphs, for the new version, because it does not work with the new versions properly.
    we can't use the latest version, and we have to stick to the old ones.
    This would be for us a great help, so we can enjoy your amazing new version!

  7. Preserve Preview Checkbox Settings

    After upgrades or patches, it would be nice to have the Preview switches in so many various dialog boxes preserved in the ON position.

  10. Disponibilizar a função de arredondar os cantos de uma tabela feita no Adobe InDesign

    Gostaria de sugerir um recurso que permita arredondar os cantos de uma tabela feita no Adobe InDesign. Atualmente isso não é possível. Mesmo que se coloque dentro de uma caixa, e a caixa arredondar, o recurso não sobrepões a tabela.

    Veja o anexo.

  11. Dynamic text for Indesign please…..

    It would save so much time — while Dynamic Text isn’t perfect in Photoshop Beta, it’s still great. Since InDesign is such a typographic powerhouse, though, it would make even more sense there — far more control, styles, and layout flexibility.

  12. Expandir columnas

    Sería de gran ayuda, tanto para revistas como para periódicos, que en "Expandir columnas” en InDesign, el titular o entradillas no sea solo desde la primera columna, que se pueda elegir entre la segunda, tercera, etc.; esto evitaría cajas de textos… De esta forma, por ejemplo, se pueden centrar en una página de 6 columnas el Título y subtítulo y que el texto empiece en la primera columna…

  13. Feedback on the Mathematical Character Feature in InDesign

    Dear Adobe Team,

    First of all, I would like to thank you for adding the mathematical character insertion feature to InDesign. This is a very important step, especially for users who prepare educational materials, scientific publications, or technical documents.

    However, I have noticed a few limitations while using this feature:

    The font of the mathematical characters cannot be changed. This makes it difficult to maintain visual consistency with the rest of the document and reduces flexibility in professional designs.

    Mathematical characters are not aligned with the baseline of the surrounding text. They often appear slightly above or below the text…

  14. 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).

  15. Precise Text Wrap Control for Column Rules

    I love the Column Rules feature in the Text Frame Options Dialogue. What keeps me from using it as often as I'd like is due to how column rules interact with text wrap.

    I'd like to have: 1. Numerical control of how rules wrap independent from text in the text wrap dialogue box, or: 2. The ability for rules to be locked to baseline grids. Perhaps having both would give the perfect amount of control?

    Please see my screen grab attached. You will see that the body copy wraps as expected, but the column rule does not. It's sticking above…

  17. Binding option for everyone

    I would like to request that the Binding option (Left/Right) be made available in all document types and regional settings, not just in specific templates or page presets.

    We are a publishing company based in Hungary, and we regularly publish Japanese manga titles. The materials we receive from Japan are prepared in InDesign with right-to-left page order (Right Binding). Unfortunately, once we open or localize these files, the Binding option is often locked or unavailable, which means we cannot simply flip the reading direction.

    As a result, we have to manually recreate or copy all pages into a new document…

  18. business cards sleeves printing in Canada

    For every professional who cares for an impressive presentation, a protective sleeve for a business card becomes a must; hence, business cards sleeves printing in Canada offers fine products. Made of prime material, these sleeves can be customized with imprinting logos, colors, and finishes in line with brand identity. Business card sleeves lend an element of professionalism to networking and corporate events while leaving behind a well-groomed, long-lasting impression-this is an idea cherished across Canada.

  19. Allow ignoring white spaces in Find/Replace

    it would be good if, the same way you can select "Case sensitive" in the find/replace, you could select "ignore white spaces" or "special characters" and only finds plain text with normal spaces.

    For example, if you try to find a sentence that has non-breaking spaces, n-spaces, manual line breaks, etc, unless you add all those characters codes to the find field, InDesign won't be able to find the text. If you were able to ignore all those "special" characters you could find and replace the whole sentence with the text you want with normal spaces.

    This would be really…

  20. Alternate layout - Improve

    I struggling with this function, i want easy options for me that makes severeal sizes to dirrerent devices of the same design.
    I want the option to only make an alternative layout on one choosen page, not auto make it to all my pages.
    Also, the autoscale and object adjustment is'nt good at all. If you try this function in canva, it will take me some seconds and i only need to adjust it a little bit, in Indesign, its a struggle. Ans i want to use indesign, but its tome consuming.
