Base font
It would be fantastic if I could select a base font to always come up if I'm substituting fonts (happens to me several times everyday) I would like to be able to change Minion to Helvetia Neue Pro as an auto rather than searching it out each time.

Preflight. Hidden pages
It would be great if we had the option to add hidden pages to the preflight.
When working with long documents, if your pages panel is small it might be difficult to see a hidden page.
For translation projects, it might be essential that only text that is going to be visible in the final pdf is actually present in the indd /idml file so hidden pages should be identified and deleted.

Move both documents pages when in Split vertical mode
When comparing two documents in Split vertical window mode it would be handy for both documents to move to the next page at the same time rather than having to move one, then the other.

More detailed document presets
If I'm regularly creating designs for which I'll need a variety of page layouts — say for example, a Facebook image, an Instagram image, a YouTube thumbnail, and a print flyer — I'd like to create a document preset that includes all of these.
Currently, you can only have one page size in a document preset, but I'd like to be able to designate something like "page 1 is letter size, page 2 is 1920x1080," etc.

InDesign Page panel
While duplicating the spread in the page panel of the Indesign, it just duplicates the page below the original page, it is good, but it should not fluctuate the panel screen.

Copy and Paste from Review Comments Panel in Id
As a designer, being able to copy and paste new texts from clients directly from the comments panel is crucial.
Right now, in order to copy and paste, I have to open up the review link on another screen in order to copy the new text that needs to be replaced.

Chance to see export estimated file size in Indesign
I think it would be great if Indesign provided estimated size information before exporting to PDF or another format. Just like doing JPEG in Photoshop. Don't you think it's a good idea?

Allow to resize the Keyboard Shortcuts window
Please make the Keyboard Shortcuts window resizable!
Namely, to make it taller.
Right now it's just too small and requires a lot of annoying scrolling to find the desired menu item.

Add Nepali to language list
Can you add Nepali to the list of available languages in the Character dropdown? There are language-specific OT features that aren't supported without selecting the language, and it seems like a bit of an unnecessary workaround to mark text as Hindi in order to get correct display of glyphs for Nepali.

automatically use comment highlight
I'm always getting comments without highlights because I forget to select the highlight before I write the comment... it would be great to default to highlight color x every time

Please add "Default search scope" to the Preferences
Hi, Adobe design team!
I'm sorry to say, but NEVER IN MY LIFE have I wanted to search for something inside a single Story. It's kinda infuriating to have to switch to "Document" as the Search scope every time. Can we please have the chance to change, what is our default?
Thanks in advance!1 vote -
Add scrolling feature to Publish Online
I create decks for brands and companies, and we often need to use interactive elements like videos and gifs — so we need to publish them online.
Because of smartphones, the design of most websites now, and the way people read PDFs in 'Reader', people expect to be able to scroll rather than clicking left and right.
I'm having a lot of requests now to create documents in non-adobe programmes, like Readymag — purely because they offer scrolling.
My contemporaries are having the same.
I hope this would be a small fix for Adobe, because it would make a huuuuge…

Option for Overprint to apply to black text only (not graphics) by default
It would be great to have two options in Preferences for how overprint behaves.
Appearance of Black Objects: Overprint Swatch at 100% (tick or untick)
Appearance of Black Text: Overprint Swatch at 100% (tick or untick)I spend a ton of time correcting black on graphics before printing files and it can be quite fiddly at times with illustrations. This would save so much time + printing errors when I miss stuff!

The 'character direction' function for Arabic text layout
The 'character direction' function does not exist in the new version of Indesgin (2024). As a result, I cannot layout an Arabic text correctly. How can I do this?

ability to import .avif file.
InDesign should be able to import .avif files. It doesn't need more explanation than that, except to say, If importing graphics and images is one of the core purposes of the program, it's surprising to find a format that can't be imported. Please keep InDesign updated and capable of working with all formats.

Find/Change Apply to Anchored Text Boxes
Find/change should be able to include any text boxes anchored in the search of a text box/story/selection. I use anchored text box objects in tables a lot, and on occasion, it would be helpful to be able to make a change to all the text with a certain paragraph style in a story, but not in the whole document. But with anchored objects, find/change won't see any text in anchored objects if you select the text box with the anchors, and you can't select multiple anchored objects at the same time. This makes it impossible/useless to find/change multiple text items…

Allow pop-up panels such as paragraph styles editor to be resized
When the operating system font size and/or software UI scale is increased it causes the bottom of the panel to be too long and clipped off under the Windows taskbar. Most of the panel is just empty grey space so can be scaled down without losing any of the contents.

Ability to scroll pages behind export windows
When dealing with longer documents, it would be nice to be able to scroll either the pages in the background or (even better) the pages window/tab to look at a range (e.g. when a document is at the end or if there are filler pages that don't need exporting/checking at this stage). People have been requesting this for years.

Pop window note
I work within teams that open and close ID files. The existing noting and share for review is just too slow and complex for the majority of the work we do. It would be absolutely amazing if you could save a simple twitter style small note when saving. So when the next person that opens the file can read it as soon as it pops up on open and can either choose to keep it / ignore or dismiss the note. Which will get rid of it. And you can only save one note to the saved file which will…
