Integrate Object style into preflight
Preflight should be able to check if object styles
are not correct. That would make it easy for me
to check if objects are in the correct position
and nothing was accidentally moved.2 votes -
RESIZING THE DOCUMENT WINDOW!!!!!
I shouldn't have to re-size the window EVERY time I open the app, or a document -- and even if you can't fix that, it shouldn't be so hard to re-size the **** thing! I'm sick of having to spend five minutes every time I open the app just getting the window to be the shape and size that I want! On Mac, moving the mouse to the lower right corner (which I have to do to resize the **** window) causes a contextual menu to pop up if I don't grab fast enough. Even if I do get ahold…

Same Gradient-Tool as in Premiere Pro?
In generell - why not make all tools more consitent? Gradients in InDesign are still way behind Illustrator, while both lack the elegant, intuitive rubber band of Premiere Pro's gradients. I think, everyone would love the Premiere Pro-version in InDesign (and Illustrator, too, because it doesn't feel that fluid there!).

Cross-check links used on both ways
Hi, the idea is to be able to check the links that a certain file (let's call file A) is being linked to.
The file A can be used as a link on files 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.... so when I open file 1 and go to the links panels I can see my file A listed there. Right? But not the other way around, such as we can't see the files (1,2,3...) in which that one file (file A) is linked to unless we go one by one (1,2,3...). Would be great to have a link to and…

Please allow the option to put a published link that was deleted on accident in the trash instead of it being gone forever & one can restore
Please allow the option to put a published link that was deleted on accident in the trash instead of it being gone forever & one can restore.
My computer files got deleted, and then it decided to die all together, so I can't republish or update the existing link to my InDesign project. I tried on another computer but it's just not working.https://indd.adobe.com/view/6b986399-510f-4d0f-add0-187a36db3023

More responsive UX on macOS
Many macOS users will agree that InDesign feels veery laggy compared to other apps (like Affinity Publisher for example). I really wish you could finally implement a more responsive UI with native macOS UI components instead of scroll views that scroll like it's 1999! :)
Adobe XD is a really good example of what I mean by "responsive" UX on macOS. I understand that XD is much younger than InDesign, but if you don't want to miss out on the next generation of graphic designers, you should really do something about it.P.S.: I can't speak for the Windows people.…

To change the dictionary-language in paragraph styles for the whole document/all styles at once.
It would be great and timesaving to change the dictionary-language in paragraph styles for the whole document/all styles or selectedt styles at once. A checkbox like in effects "Global Light" would be great. "Global Language".
I had my styles mostly based on each other. But still have to change 4-6 Paragraphs for each language everey issue of a magazine.

Add "don't show again" option to error box
See attached image.
"Invalid indent value. Indents cannot extend outside text frame."
I'd love to be rid of it, since it just appears when I hit the button one too many times.

InDesign share link paths between two documents
We send InDesign documents out for translation. (Without packaging photos because those don't have to be translated.) But when we get the translated ID doc back, sometimes the links to our server won't work, or just some of them work and we have to manually relink may of the graphics in a 12-page document. I'd like to be able to open the Spanish version of a document and tell is to copy all the link paths for graphics from the English version of the document. GAME CHANGER!!! We're sometimes translating documents into 12 languages, and I have to re-link ALL…

Using microphone to type
Indesign (all adobe apps I use) do not recognize voice microphone (talk to text) option
I am using Mac OS with my apps to assist and InDesign will not work with talk to text feature, or simply the microphone. Is there a solution for this? I see no Adobe Apps such as Photoshop allows this functionality either and InDesign is the only one that is very important and needs to have that functionality.
Is adobe going to work on this situation? When I have to do a text heavy document and the option of talk to text is a savior.…

Ability to brand "Publish Online" docs by adding a favicon and customize the URL
I love this option for publishing professional documents online, but I NEED to be able to brand the digital experience with our logo and change the URL so it isn't indd.adobe. It's confusing/less professional for our customers.

add the ability to create multiple versions of the same document with minimal effort
I create a newsletter, and along with it, an "accessible" version with minimal fonts and styles. Right now, I have to copy and paste each article into the accessible version, and manually apply each paragraph style in order to make things work out. There has GOT to be an easier way to make this happen!
I tried the "paste and link" feature, which would at least save me the copying and pasting of each individual section, but the second one makes an edit and updates the link, all those accessible styles revert back to the original! At the very least,…

Share for review - Select All Bottom
Create a select all bottom that allows people to select multiple documents at once and then share them for review. Right now, this is not an option for users and having to select each document individually can be time consuming.
I use Adobe to share over 100 documents with other users and this is a very manual task. Imagine having to select and share 100+ documents one by one.

Modify email addresses in auto-fill suggestions of Share for Review
In Share for Review, in the line under, “Create a web link for stakeholders to comment and provide feedback.” When typing in an email, there is a dropdown that suggests users of the organization. Would very much like to be able to remove expired email addresses from terminated employees, and other erroneous email entries.

UI setting grayed out/can't use at necessary screen resolution
I use a very large TV monitor, so I can see all my work, and as such, the screen res is higher, but your UI scaling feature is grayed out, and info says it's because of my screen res, so does not allow those settings. It's the only software I own that does not enlarge UI along with everything else. Do you not think that if we need a larger screen, we don't also need a larger interface??? We are not all squinting at laptops when we design books. As such, I can't make out the panel and menu options/…
