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!

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.

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.

[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…

Conditional Vertical Justification
Add a new option to the Vertical Justification settings for text frames: "Conditional Justify".
BehaviorWhen 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).3 votes -
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…

Rounded Corners for Tables in InDesign
Dear Adobe Team,
As an InDesign user, I've encountered a limitation when designing tables in the software. Currently, there is no direct option to round the corners of tables, and this often leads to having to use workarounds to achieve the desired effect.
I kindly request that the ability to round table corners be added as a direct feature in future InDesign updates, similar to how it's already available for rectangular shapes. This would greatly enhance the user experience and make design workflows more seamless.
Thank you for your time and consideration,

Establish a display of current baseline grid “increment every ##pt” and also a link to change in the paragraph styles menu.
I teach design at the Univ of MN. I stress the importance of utilizing baseline grids, but students are constantly confused how to establish and modify them despite my best efforts. For how vital baseline grids are, the modification of their settings seem very hidden with the settings panel. Also the language surrounding baseline grid is vague — align to grid could mean the square grid, the column/margins grid, or the baseline grid.
By establishing a display of the current baseline grid settings in the paragraph styles (indents & spacing), a more obvious connection to that grid would be created.…

If you group paths, the shadow rotates with the path.
Problem with InDesign version 2026: The shadow in InDesign rotates with the path. The problem is that sometimes you want to be able to rotate a series of paths, even complex structures, but the shadow doesn't rotate with the path. This is a problem. The only solution is to avoid using the shadow tool. You can create shadows alternatively with other paths, or you can have to re-edit all the shadows once the paths have been rotated. As far as I'm concerned, this is crazy. At least make sure that if the paths are grouped, this problem doesn't occur!

Option to get different metadata from link
I frequently use Illustrator links in InDesign templates and label the frame with metadata such as the filename. While it's possible to import a specific artboard from .ai files, only the artboard number is displayed. I also need the actual artboard name. This would significantly simplify the execution of the subsequent script, ensuring all export data is captured correctly.

A context-sensitive search function for Paragraph Styles
When all I need to see is one instance of a style, with no particular text string specified, It would be great to be able to right-click on a paragraph style in the style menu and simply choose "Find Style" rather than having to open the FIND/CHANGE menu, clear it of any previous entries, and fill in all the new parameters before I can make that one simple search.
EXAMPLE: My client composes her business books in Word and often uses up to nine or 10 "Headings." I just want to see an instance of them so I can get…

INDT file in Book (as styles, variables, parentpage holder)
I want to offer the option to add .indt template documents to a book, with text and object styles and text variables distributed, but excluding pages.
Thus, template documents will be possible to use not only for creating new documents, but also for distributing established styles in a book and even to many books from just one file!
The existing method of importing styles from a regular document within a single book often leads to confusion of style options if the wrong document is selected.
A file from which regular pages will not be imported will be a universal source…

Adding Uzbek spell checking / hyphenation
Hi, InDesign team! I'm coming from Uzbekistan, we build various NLP solutions for Uzbek (spoken by 40 mln people around the world). Recently we made an add-in for InDesign that handles hyphenation and spell checking for Uzbek. However, it's still an add-in, so we have to update its versions over time – we wonder if it's possible to add this feature to InDesign itself so this language will be native in newer InDesign versions.
We're open for any type of collaboration, we'd be very glad if you add our language into the program, we can provide all resources and models…
