Feature Request: AI-Powered Image to Alt Text Generation for Accessibility in InDesign
First of all, I want to thank you for the incredible new AI-powered features in InDesign, especially the ability to generatively expand images. This is a powerful tool that has significantly enhanced my workflow, and I greatly appreciate how Adobe continues to push the boundaries of design technology.
I would like to suggest a potential new feature that would further improve accessibility and efficiency in design. Specifically, it would be immensely helpful to have an AI-powered feature that generates alternative text (alt text) for images directly within InDesign. This would be particularly valuable for creating accessible documents, as alt text…

TOC - Update page numbers only
Update page numbers only in TOC (like it is possible in a common Text Processing software) would save a lot of time, as we often insert styling and manual line warps in the TOC for aestetical reasons and have to redo it as TOC has to be refreshed and overwrites everything.
The suggestion in this forum to create Cross-References would also be a nice solution to this problem.

heat transfer printing
Heat transfer printing is a method of decorating surfaces such as fabric or ceramics with designs by using heat and pressure. Such designs are often printed first on special transfer paper which is then applied onto the material to be decorated. This heat adheres this particular design to the upper surface, which makes the finishing look very attractive and long lasting. This is widely used for personalized clothing and giveaways.

Make Libraries Panel Drag & Drop When Adding
Hi There,
I only use libraries for one client but am quickly discovering it's not that intuitive. It's great that libraries now isn't the default but when you need it, why can't you drag everything into it?
Obvious examples...
- You can't drag colours
- You can't drag text styles (paragraph or character)And regarding text, if you drag a text box, dragging it back should add the textbox with text etc. If you drag a text style onto an existing text box, it should only apply the style etc.
Just let us add anything to the library via drag…

Ancient Greek spell check
I have read an article (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/add_cs_dictionaries.html) about adding a Hunspell dictionary in inDesign and try to insert the Ancient Greek dic in InDesign but it was not working properly. I hope Adobe in the future to include and the Ancient Greek Language as there are many University Studies which teach Ancient Greek Literature and print books in ancient greek language. There is already a free hunspell dic so I suppose that it will be easy for adobe such a thing.

Would like to see a faster and quicker alignment tool added to the control bar.
Would like to see a faster and quicker alignment tool added to the control bar.
Sometimes it's a bit troublesome to switch between alignment panels, so I would like to add a more direct alignment panel to the control bar.
Can quickly align to bleed, margins, centre of plate, horizontal centre, vertical centre.
There is also a function to align to a reference line (the reference line and the object are aligned to each other).It's kind of like the table control

InDesign Cannot Set Actual Text (Accessibility)
InDesign Cannot Set Actual Text
InDesign has no way of setting actual text. This can only be done in PDF. Actual text is set when acronyms are used. Access technologies such as screen readers cannot properly read acronyms such as USA. They voice them as words, like "Youusah." Actual text has to be set for the document to be read correctly. This is a painstaking process that requires InDesign users to learn PDF Remediation, a highly specialized skillset that is typically outside the role of the average Graphic Designer. Currently, the process for setting actual text in Acrobat is as…

ChatGPT Integration in InDesign for Text Editing and Proofreading
Please add an option in InDesign to integrate text review using ChatGPT. Ideally, this would function as a standalone panel, where we could log in with our own ChatGPT account. Through this panel, we would be able to have the text checked either as a proofreader or as an editor in a special mode—for instance, if the text overflows, it could be shortened to fit the box or page. Similarly, it could generate titles based on the text.

set width of a real gap between columns in a table
Setting a column/cell stroke to "paper" does not make a real gap between columns, when the table is on a colored background.
Please add a "gap width between columns" to your table/cell formatting.

Add space before text on the first line in a text box
For each new chapter in a book, we like to add space before the chapter title, but need to either modify the size of the text box (dragging the top down), or we need to add a paragraph break to act as a work-around to create space before the first line of text.
It'd be great if InDesign had a feature to allow added space before the first line.

Check Icon Effects Rapid ON/OFF
I find this very frustrating every time.
I would like to be able to activate/deactivate an effect by clicking on the check icon.- clicking on the check activates and deactivates the effect (on/off)
- clicking on the name of the effect on the right should open the corresponding panel (as it already works now)
Often to deactivate an effect I have to enter the panel to deactivate the check, this would be fine when I have to set the parameters but if I simply have to deactivate the effect I have to open a second panel that could be avoided.
I…

Add cell style setting fort column width and row height
We periodically update our older catalogs with newer styles and much of the content is to provide dimensions for parts. Most of the time they have not had a style applied to them. This would be the same as the option already provided when a cell is selected. Being able to select a group of cells and applying a style with column and row height would be helpful.
Its actually the only item that isn't included from the cell options every other option is already available.

Add Haitian Creole as an option in the list of languages when creating 508 compliant PDFs. Our business markets to that community.
Our company markets to South Florida communities that speak Haitian Creole. Having that language as an option when creating 508-compliant PDFs would be extremely beneficial.

Regarding the behavior of Adobe app UI in a multiple-screen case
The scenario: Company given laptop usage with Adobe apps. Using multiple monitors at workplace. Also the same while working from home.
Problem: The UI (floating windows, toolbox, etc.,) keep spreading out in different monitors or screens, which is annoying to to settle every time as the preferred monitor keeps changing. Please see attached image (UI spread cross monitors.jpg)
Proposed solution: I understand that it might be difficult for app to trace the monitor I am using. At least there should be a possibility to 're-arrange all UI in one monitor' when I use 'Workplace' menu and choose my favorite workplace…

New “Hide Spread/Show Spread” feature: automatic page number adjustment
I was excited to discover the new 'Hide Spread/Show Spread' feature in InDesign. Page numbers on visible spreads don’t adjust automatically when other spreads are hidden in the document. Thus the feature becomes useless for any document that uses page numbers – at least within my workflow.

PDF Password Print (BUG and New Feature)
As suggested by @Abhishek Rao on Adobe community
I report here the problem and the new functionality...PDF Password (BUG and New Feature)
When I export a document to PDF from Indesign (or illustrator), I would need to password protect the Copy/Modification of the elements in my PDF, at the same time allow READING and PRINTING of that PDF document.
All this is currently ALLOWED BY "INDESIGN"! in PDF export.
When I create a PDF with these limitations, I open it in ACROBAT and I can SEE and PRINT IT.
