1. InCopy on the web to all language versions

   Can you please stop with making features available in English version only. Those of us who work in an international environment or organization needs feature parity, and in this day and age, where AI takes care of 99% of translation and testing it cant't be that hard.

   We pay for InDesign and expect to not be discriminated.

2. Increase bounding box line thickness via Preferences > User Interface Scaling > Anchor Points, Handle, and Bounding Box Display Size

   I would like the option in Preferences > User Interface Scaling > Anchor Points, Handle, and Bounding Box Display Size to be able to thicken the bounding box lines more. The Anchor Points and Handle are plenty big even with low scaling, but even with large scaling, the lines don't get thick enough for me to see well on my high-res display. Thanks for considering.

3. Streamlining adding new pages of different sizes

   I often work with files with multiple sized pages in them. I want the print specific features of indesign, however adding different size pages to a document is a clunky and confusing process. Instead of having to 'create alternate layout' could you not just modify the 'edit page size' menu to have a 'add different size page' option.

4. Recadrage PDF Importés (avec du texte non vectorisé) et Export / Framing of Imported PDF (with not vectorised fonts) & Export

   ENGLISH

   When you crop a placed PDF in Adobe InDesign that contains live (non-outlined) text, the exported PDF still keeps all text data located outside the cropped frame. As a result, PDF text search can still find and highlight invisible text that is hidden outside the visible cropped area.

   This behavior makes little sense from a user perspective: if a PDF element is cropped in InDesign, the expectation is that everything outside the cropped frame should be removed from the exported PDF — or at least excluded from text search and selection.

   Currently, InDesign only masks the content visually. The hidden text remains embedded in the exported PDF, even though it is no longer visible. This creates several problems:

   • PDF searches return results in invisible areas
   • Copy/paste may include hidden text
   • Accessibility/readability can become inconsistent
   • Sensitive or unwanted text may remain inside the final exported document
   • File content does not match the visible layout

   This issue especially affects workflows involving imported PDFs containing OCR text or non-vectorized text layers.

   Expected behavior:
   When exporting a PDF from InDesign, any content outside the cropped frame of a placed PDF should either:

   • be truly clipped/destructively removed from the exported PDF structure, or
   • at minimum, be excluded from searchable/selectable text content.

   At the moment, the crop behaves only as a visual mask, not as an actual content clipping operation.

   ————————————-

   FRENCH

   Faire en sorte que sur InDesign quand on recadre un PDF (avec du texte non vectorisé) et qu’on exporte ce PDF cela n’affiche plus le texte en dehors de la zone recadree.

   Car actuellement quand on recadre ce genre de PDF, et qu’on exporte le PDF, et qu’on fait une recherche de texte sur ce PDF cela recherche et affiche des résultats même dans le texte invisible masqué en dehors du cadre.

   Quand on recadre sur InDesign un bloc d’un PDF importé qui contient du texte non vectoriel je ne vois vraiment pas pour quelle bonne raison le PDF continue d’afficher toute la police qui est en dehors de cette zone recadrée, ça n’a aucun sens ni aucune utilité car par définition quand on recadre un bloc, c’est qu’on veut pas ce qu’il y a autour…

5. Native PDF/UA-compliant export in Adobe InDesign (European Accessibility Act)

   With the entry into force on June 28, 2025 of European Directive 2019/882 (European Accessibility Act, EAA), the production of accessible digital documents has become a legal obligation for a wide range of public and private operators working in the European market. The regulation requires that electronic documents — including PDFs — conform to the PDF/UA standard (ISO 14289-1) and the technical standard EN 301 549.
   At present, Adobe InDesign is not capable of natively exporting PDFs that are PDF/UA compliant and verifiable with third-party tools such as PAC. This limitation forces professionals to rely on third-party plugins or manual corrections in Acrobat Pro after every export — resulting in additional costs, operational inefficiencies, and the risk of errors in every production cycle.
   Bringing InDesign into compliance with these requirements is today a legal necessity for thousands of European professionals who use the software daily to produce institutional communications, reports, publications, and technical documents subject to EAA obligations. It would also demonstrate Adobe's genuine commitment to the values of inclusivity and accessibility.
   The native implementation of these features would eliminate dependency on third-party tools, reduce production costs, and ensure that Adobe InDesign maintains a competitive position aligned with the current European regulatory landscape.
   Supporting accessibility is not merely an ethical choice — it is today a concrete responsibility toward the millions of users with disabilities and toward the professionals who produce content for them every day.

   Thank you for your attention.

7. Add an option to disable the downloading or saving of embedded videos

   Please include an option to disable the downloading or saving of embedded videos in Adobe InDesign documents. This feature would be extremely useful for designers, publishers, and businesses that distribute interactive PDFs or digital publications containing licensed or proprietary video content. Currently, users who receive these documents may be able to extract or save embedded media files, which can create copyright, security, and content protection concerns.

   Adding a setting that allows creators to restrict video downloading while still permitting playback inside the document would help protect intellectual property and give publishers more control over how their media is shared. It would also improve confidence for companies and educators who rely on InDesign for interactive presentations, training materials, magazines, and marketing content.

8. Feature Request: Language-Aware Punctuation Correction in "Refine Your Text" (Generate Panel)

   Hi Adobe InDesign Team,

   I would like to request an enhancement to the "Refine Your Text" option available under the Generate panel (similar to the Rewrite feature).

   ---

   Feature Request: Automatic Punctuation Correction Based on Script/Language

   What I need:
   When a paragraph is selected, I would like an option under "Refine Your Text" that:
   1. First reads and analyzes the selected paragraph
   2. Then intelligently applies correct punctuation — but based on the language/script of the text, not a universal rule

   The core problem:
   Currently, punctuation correction tools apply English/Latin punctuation rules universally. This breaks Urdu, Arabic, and Persian text because these languages have their own distinct punctuation systems.

   For example:
   - English uses: , . ! ? " " ( )
   - Urdu uses: ، ۔ ؟ — (Urdu comma ، Urdu full stop ۔, Urdu question mark ؟)
   - Arabic uses: ، ؟ ؛ — (Arabic-specific punctuation marks)
   - Persian/Farsi follows similar RTL punctuation conventions

   Expected Behavior:
   - If the selected text is in English → apply English punctuation rules
   - If the selected text is in Urdu → apply Urdu punctuation (rumooz-o-auqaf / رموز و اوقاف)
   - If the selected text is in Arabic → apply Arabic punctuation
   - If the selected text is in Persian → apply Persian/Farsi punctuation
   - Mixed-language paragraphs → detect per sentence or per segment and apply accordingly

   Why this matters — A Global Need:
   This is not just a niche request. InDesign is used worldwide by publishers, journalists, and designers working in dozens of non-Latin scripts — Urdu, Arabic, Persian, Hindi, and more. Millions of InDesign users across South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia deal with this problem daily.

   Incorrect punctuation (e.g., using a Latin comma , instead of Urdu comma ، ) is a critical typographic error in professional publishing. Right now, users have to:
   1. Copy the text from InDesign
   2. Paste it into an external AI tool (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.)
   3. Ask it to fix the punctuation
   4. Copy the corrected text back into InDesign
   5. Reformat and recheck the layout

   This is a slow, repetitive, and error-prone workflow that breaks the entire design process. If Adobe builds this directly into InDesign's Generate panel, it will eliminate this friction entirely — and it will be a major reason for non-Latin publishers worldwide to upgrade to and stay on Creative Cloud.

   A smart, language-aware punctuation refinement tool would dramatically speed up the work of millions of users who currently feel underserved by InDesign's AI features.

   Proposed Workflow:
   1. User selects a paragraph
   2. Clicks: Generate → Refine Your Text → Fix Punctuation
   3. AI detects the language/script of the selection
   4. Applies the correct punctuation standard for that language
   5. Shows a before/after preview for user approval

   This feature would make InDesign's AI tools genuinely useful for non-Latin script publishing — a massive, underserved global market.

   Thank you for considering this request.

   Best regards

9. When using Find/Replace, show how many instances were found.

   If I'm trying to find something in a document to modify it slightly, I'll use Find to find it. If there's only two instances of the thing occurring, than I can just quickly manually fix it. If there's 200 instances though, then I know I either need to be more specific in my search or start writing some GREP. The problem is that I have no way of knowing how many times the thing I'm looking for occurs, and if it's a lot I would have to click through "Find Next" an unknown number of times. When replacing items, there is a pop-up that tells me how many items were changed, but it would nice to know that number before I hit "Replace."

   This is also useful in catching mistakes, especially in cases where I made the change in all open documents, realize that my find+replace should not have caused 2,000 replacements, and now have to go into each document and ctrl+z.

   If I have a similar issue in Microsoft Word and use Find, Word shows me in a side panel how many times the thing I searched for occurs in the document, and then I can make decisions on how best to proceed.

   I don't think an entire side panel is necessary, but could you just add a line in the Find+Replace window or a pop-up that says "found 80 times" or whatever? Find+Replace has a pop-up that says how many items were replaced, but it would be helpful if I could know how many things I'm changing before I actually change it. If you think the pop-up would be annoying for every Find, maybe it could be an additional button next to "Find Next", like "Find How Many"? It would also be helpful if this highlighted every instance of the search in the document, but I'd settle for just a "found x times" message.

   If I'm trying to find something in a document to modify it slightly, I'll use Find to find it. If there's only two instances of the thing occurring, than I can just quickly manually fix it. If there's 200 instances though, then I know I either need to be more specific in my search or start writing some GREP.

11. See Page Content Order and Structure Types (as in Acrobat) in InDesign

    The InDesign/Acrobat accessible PDF workflow is a nightmare. Fixing reading order and tags in Acrobat is one particularly frustrating aspect of that nightmare.

    It would be very helpful – and a major time-saver because of these issues in Acrobat – to be able to see Page Content Order and Structure Types, as displayed in Acrobat when the Reading Order tool is active, in InDesign so that issues can be resolved BEFORE export to interactive PDF.

    A much more productive solution would be to have live updates in Acrobat as changes are made in InDesign. I'd be seriously impressed if you could get that to work. Forget rubbish AI-generated cartoons and concentrate on more practical issues, please. Improvements in the InDesign/Acrobat accessible PDF workflow are long, long, long overdue.

12. How Can I Preserve Image Quality When Converting Slides to PDF?

    I’m having trouble keeping image quality high when converting my presentation slides to PDF. Every time I export or print to PDF, the images become blurry or grainy. I already tried using the survival race “Print to PDF” option, but the resolution still drops noticeably.

    Does anyone know the best settings or tools to preserve image quality in PDFs?

13. technology

    I would like to suggest integrating generative AI testing tools capabilities into InDesign to enhance automation and smart workflow optimization. By leveraging AI-driven intelligence, InDesign could automatically analyze document layouts, detect design inconsistencies, suggest formatting improvements, and even generate templates based on user behavior or uploaded samples.

    This would significantly reduce manual effort, improve design accuracy, and streamline repetitive publishing tasks. Integrating AI-powered automation similar to generative AI testing tools could make InDesign more adaptive, intelligent, and efficient for modern content creators and production teams.

14. Reorganise the SWATCHES WINDOW to be able to see ALL colour values

    Many os us (designers) don't have a huge screen to be able to spread all windows/tools allover thus, my request is regarding the way the colours names are displayed in the swatches window. I can’t see all values!!! (check attached image)

    Even using the "small list view", all values can't been seen (this is what I see now: C=30 M=60 Y=4...) unless the swatches window is really wide... using too much space out of my screen. (check attached image)

    Maybe a quick solution could be using C30 M60 Y40 K10 instead of C=30 M=60 Y=40 K=10

    There are also many space “not used”, but still the total full colour value can’t be seen. (check attached image)

15. Ability to sort swatches by most recently used

16. InDesign Import and Export

    It would be most helpful to me since I design books, tear-sheets, posters, newsletter that are made fore print and are shown on the web too. Import - When we have a form in PDF format that is asked to be shown, instead of placing it directly into InDesign file it doesn't work, we need to place JPGS instead. Exporting these products that are for print as web format SVG is impossible! Web service requires SVG for catalogue, everything I make can be deigned in Illustrator but arranged in InDesign, but if I export as EPS then open it into illustrator it rasterizes everything, Poor quality defeating the purpose!!! I need it to stay clean, both PRNT & Web is DESPERENTLY needed!!!

Import - When we have a form in PDF format that is asked to be shown, instead of placing it directly into InDesign file it doesn't work, we need to place JPGS instead. Exporting these products that are for print as web format SVG is impossible! Web service requires SVG for catalogue, everything I make can be deigned in Illustrator but arranged in InDesign, but if I export as EPS then open it into… more

17. Layer configuration export

    Title: Option to Disable Specific Layers During PDF Export (Without Changing Document Visibility)

    Description:

    In many editorial workflows, especially in educational publishing, we work with layered documents that contain both student and teacher content within the same InDesign file.

    A common use case is:

    • A "Student Version" (without answers)
    • A "Teacher Version" (with answers)

    Currently, to export the student version, users must manually open each document and disable the "Answers" (or similar) layer before exporting. This becomes extremely time-consuming and error-prone when dealing with dozens or hundreds of files.

    Feature Request:

    Add an option in the PDF export settings that allows users to:

    • Select specific layers to include or exclude during export
    • Override current layer visibility temporarily (without modifying the document itself)

    Suggested UI Behavior:

    • A panel within the Export PDF dialog showing all document layers
    • Checkboxes to include/exclude layers
    • Option to save this configuration within PDF export presets

    Benefits:

    • Eliminates repetitive manual work
    • Reduces risk of human error (e.g., accidentally exporting answers in student materials)
    • Improves workflow efficiency for publishers and educators
    • Aligns with real-world editorial production needs

    Additional Notes:
    This feature would be especially valuable for batch exports and automated workflows, where scripts are currently required as a workaround.

    Thank you for considering this improvement!

18. Ability to specify a baseline start in a Paragraph style

    Would like to use a Paragraph style to be able to set the first line of a paragraph to a specific baseline. For example, on a page like this the first paragraph also needs to start on the same baseline, but there wouldn’t always be a byline, so I would need to make another, or multiple, Paragraph styles for the main head (“Foreword”) in order to sink the first paragraph to the same baseline.

19. 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.

20. Allow text to show outside of the text frame when the last item in a Flex Layout

    When a text box is used in a Flex Layout in a vertical orientation and is the last item, any letters that render below the base line (aka descenders -> y, j, p, q), the flex box trims the text making these letters unreadable. The only workaround is manually extending the text box height to include the descender. However, when done, this affects the spacing of the Flex Layout.

    In a situation where you have individual items (example- a list of events) you want a uniform spacing between the event title, date, time, and location replicated across multiple events. For organization, you would have a parent flex layout (all events) and children flex layouts (individual events). Adjusting the size of the last text box to make the descenders visible affects the spacing of this event, in turn, affecting the spacing between all of the events in the list.

    Currently, the Flex Layout seems to work best for a) non-text items, or b) text items with a non-text item at the end for vertically oriented layout. I don't see a situation where trimming text in InDesign is ever useful.

    According to InDesign support, this is functioning as designed. I would believe this is a bug but posting to Feature Requests.
