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!

ai generation
Indesign is saving ai generate images in documents system drive by default, which causes problems when I work sometimes from home and at time out of the office on my laptop. Also problems making packages.
With the new version came out, I was surprised that we still can't choose our wanted prefered lacation - like a shared driver so I can access those ai generated images from anywhere. I still have to go to Utilities, copy links to - FOR EVERY SINGLE JOB. It's impossible to work like this.
Would appreciate a fix1 vote -

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…

Subject: Request to Reintroduce Removed Features and Add New Enhancements in the Latest Adobe Version
Manual Second-Line Indent Adjustment Using Shift Key:
In earlier versions, within the Tab Settings panel, we were able to manually adjust the second-line indent by pressing and dragging with the Shift key. This provided precise and quick control over hanging indents. In the current version, this functionality has been removed, causing difficulty in achieving the same results efficiently. New Features Requested for Addition:Missing “Title Case” Option in Paragraph Style > Basic Character Formats:
Previously, users could set text to “Title Case” directly inside Paragraph Style > Basic Character Formats. In the latest version, this option no longer appears, forcing…

Add the ability to color code window tabs and allow custom tab names that are not linked to the actual file name.
Description:
The current window tab design in InDesign can become cluttered, especially when working with multiple files that have long names. The tab size automatically adjusts to the length of the file name, which leads to a cluttered workspace, making it difficult to quickly locate and switch between files. I suggest two enhancements:The ability to color code window tabs, allowing users to visually differentiate between files at a glance.
The ability to edit the tab name independently of the file name, so users can give tabs more intuitive or customized names without altering the actual file name. This would…

Accurate Color-Managed Print Preview in InDesign (and Adobe Apps)
I’ve had this feature in mind for years, but a busy schedule and work across different fields kept me from writing it down. This request is for Photoshop, and if Illustrator and InDesign are missing it as well, they should be updated to support it. In Photoshop’s Print dialog, under Color Management, the preview should match the selected printer, color handling settings, and printer profile. It should show an accurate on-screen preview of how the document or design will actually look once printed. The software should offer the closest possible simulation instead of the rough preview we have today.

6 odd things InDesign needs to fix
6 Odd Things InDesign Needs to Fix
After having used InDesign for a while, I encountered the following difficulties. Some may be due to my own inexperience—in which case I welcome feedback on how to resolve them—while others may well be issues with the software itself.Scrolling up and down like Word. InDesign shifts left and right like a monkey on ice, which is downright irritating. This may not be an issue if you are working on just a few pages, but if it’s a book with 500 pages, it becomes very annoying.
Fully justified text. The last line should…

Rectangle frames that link to each other so images reflow when one is added or removed like text does in text boxes.
Please make rectangle frames able to be linked so images flow from one frame to the next like can be done with type boxes and text. I work on a 450 page catalog and sometimes there are images that get removed and currently we have to shift all of the images by hand. If the rectangle frames were linked we could delete an image and have the remaining images reflow automatically.

Better visibility for table border selection (Stroke panel)
When editing table borders in the Stroke panel, the small preview grid that represents the cell borders is very hard to see and use. The active line selection is indicated by a very thin and pale blue highlight, which is almost invisible on high-resolution or bright displays.
This makes it difficult to tell which borders are selected or to accurately click on them. The hit area for these lines is also extremely narrow, which further reduces usability.
It would be a major improvement if the highlight: had stronger color contrast or adjustable color (for example, a red or darker highlight),…5 votes -
Page blanche automatique dans un roman
Dans une mise en page d'un roman qui ne vient donc pas dans une fonction LIVRE, pas assez de pages pour cela. Il faudrait pouvoir configurer à l'intérieur d'un seul document que les pages où il n'y a pas d'objets, que les informations du gabarit n'apparaissent pas. Il faut toujours contrôler manuellement la mise en page pour changer le gabarit ou mettre un bloc blanc pour masquer. Ca serait pour faire comme la fonction d'ajout d'un page blanc dans la fonction livre, mais seulement en cachant automatiquement les éléments et que si une phrase est rajouté et se retrouve sur…

Notes de bas de page qui suivent dans un LIVRE
Créer la possibilité de faire suivre les numéros de note de bas de page d'un chapitre à l'autre qui sont regroupés dans un LIVRE, comme c'est le cas pour les numérotations de figuresç par exemple. Et également pouvoir faire suivre si la note est dans un bloc séparé, sans que les numéros recommence à chaque fois à 1. Pour les chapitres on peut le faire manuellement, pour les blocs différents à l'intérieur d'un chapitre c'est impossible à contourner le problème manuellement.

Better handling of vertical text on a path
I can't get proper spacing on a vertical list of numbers. inDesign is still treating the spacing as if it's horizontal. None of the 400 numbers are spaced properly. Unfortunately the customer has to use canvas to make it work. InDesign should do this easily and be able to use data merge for numbering.

Produce intuitive result while quad-clicking + pasting replacement text from external source into InDesign on lines with paragraph styling
Currently this behavior causes the pasted text to adopt the paragraph style of a neighboring paragraph instead of retaining the styling of the replaced paragraph. It is probably not a bug but a feature, I feel needs to be changed so it works more intuitively.
