  1. Replacement of ending Type 1 fonts

    I would like to ask if it would be possible to create a setting / tool for automatic replacement of ending fonts when opening a file.

    "Font 1" will automatically change to the user-preset "Font 2" when opening the file.

    eg: Frutiger CE 65 Bold (ending font) => Frutiger CE Bold (user set)

    It would certainly make the job easier for users, for example we have over 1000 .indd files with ending fonts, which are gradually updated regularly and everything is replaced manually. One file has over 12 missing fonts.

    Thank you for your response

  2. Template Automation from CSV File

    Dear InDesign Support Team,

    I hope this message finds you well.

    I am writing to inquire about a feature that I believe would greatly enhance the efficiency of template usage within InDesign.

    Currently, I often work with templates that contain a simple layout consisting of a picture (a person's image) and text (the person's name) underneath it.
    These templates serve as the basis for creating multiple pages, each with unique content.

    What I would like to request is the capability to automate the population of these templates using data from a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
    Specifically, I envision a feature…

  3. Ability to include anchored objects in paragraph styles

    It would be useful to integrate images into paragraph styles and immediately attach an object style to it. The result would be that by selecting a paragraph style, an image (icon etc.) would be added at the desired location (as set in the object style). This would offer many opportunities to make formatting faster and more efficient.

  5. Measuring feature

    It would be great if there were a way to measure the distance between 2 objects. If I could select the first hold down option and hover over another object it would be fantastic to see a popup telling me how many px it is apart

  6. Flipped Images in Pre-Flight

    I'd like to add "flipped image" to the pre-flight process.

    I've recently had to scour a product catalog for flipped images because a junior designer didn't realize that flipping images mis-represented the non-symmetrical producs. It should be something that pre-flight draws attention to as a potential error, similar to non-proportional scaling.
    I was able to install an obscure script that looked for both flipped frames and flipped image content and made a list for you - it was a lifesaver!

  7. do not overwrite Object Styles when making a group to make it accessible

    When applying different object styles to elements in InDesign, they are "deleted" when I make a group and giving the "group" another object-style (for example: a picture and a text, both have separate object styles - i group them, and then want to give the group an object style that puts it in the right position on my page)
    As soon as I apply the Object style, to the group, the individual object styles are "overwritten". I can manually reapply them in the group, but thats not efficient.
    Especialle to make an accessible PDF, the feature of different Object styles…

  8. Let hyperlinks open in a new tab.

    I was trying to work out how to set InDesign hyperlinks to open a new tab in a browser. I have learned this is not a feature that is in InDesign.

  9. Paragraph styles frustrations

    When creating a paragraph style from an existing one, please let InDesign automatically select the new one to edit, or at least let it retain the adjustments we made to the existing one. Because many times I edit the styling of text, then make a new paragraph style, only to find out I was still styling on the previous style, and not "New Paragraph 1."

    OR

    Let us be able to highlight the paragraph style we want to redefine, without applying the style to the text.

    Sometimes all we want is to highlight copy in the document, and right-click on…

  10. Spread numbering confuses clients

    When publishing spreads, numbering is for spreads spread 1, 2 ,3 etc but paging in document is different. This confuses clients and spreads should be numbered as pages page 1, page 2-3, page 4-5 etc.

  15. Paragraph Styles Larger Tab Markers

    I use windows 11 with a display settings at 125% scale and monitors set to 3440x1440 resolution. I use a magnified mouse cursor as well. When using the Paragraph Styles Tab feature, the tab stop markers are so small it makes it very difficult to select them to adjust their position. I would like to see the User Interface designed with larger tab stop markers or a dialogue box that allows for input of the left align and hanging indent settings.

  17. If Adobe could do a spreadsheet application

    This is not a specific feature request, but more a general idea about Adobe doing a spreadsheet application.
    Think about using functionality in Illustrator and InDesignTo be able to draw new sheets in threaded “Spreadsheet boxes” and “Cell boxes”, using layers for calculations/functions/data as well as text/graphic assets, writing functions and formulas in native language, using any graphics assets for conditional formatting and diagrams, place files in InDesign with full compatibility, advanced text formatting in Text Boxes nested with “Spreadsheet boxes”, tear-away panels.
    Just some initial thoughts....

  18. PublishOnline dashboard folders

    About time the dashboard provided a better file directory to allow users to organise their files better.

    When you have multiple clients with over a hundred live publications it can get messy!

    A simple even only single level file/folders option would be great so I can move all clients publications into their own folder.

    A thousand agencies around the world would greatly welcome this I promise you!

  19. Option to turn hard coded navigation arrows on and off

    I would love to be able to turn the prev next arrows off when not required. They can interfere with the design appearance of a publication.
    It made it worse when Adobe made the arrows even thicker!
    It should be easy to do for Adobe. Again Ajar In5 can do this. Indesign should be able to do it natively

  20. Set zero point by selecting the intersection of a horizontal and vertical ruler guide

    Set zero point by selecting the intersection of a horizontal and vertical ruler guide followed by a keyboard shortcut. Saves time spent dragging from the top left corner to the intersecting guides
