1. Text Variables: option to replace Tabs

   Currently, a tab in a paragraph (heading) carries into a text variable that is sourced from that paragraph style, causing major spacing headaches. There should be an option in Edit Text Variable window to replace tab with a user-defined number of spaces (or any other characters, while you're at it).

2. Feature Request: InPage-Style Urdu Nastaliq Kerning, Positioning, and Composition Engine for Adobe InDesign Dear Adobe InDesign Team, I wo

   Feature Request: InPage-Style Urdu Nastaliq Kerning, Positioning, and Composition Engine for Adobe InDesign

   Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

   I would like to request major improvements to Urdu Nastaliq publishing support in Adobe InDesign.

   Although InDesign supports right-to-left languages, it still lacks many professional Urdu composition features that are available in InPage and are essential for newspapers, magazines, books, and educational publishing.

   The most important request is the introduction of an InPage-style Urdu Nastaliq Composition Engine.

   Requested Features:

   1. InPage-style Urdu Kerning Engine

   • Automatic contextual kerning between Urdu characters.
   • Ligature-aware spacing adjustments.
   • Removal of excessive gaps between words and letters.

   • Font-specific optimization for:

     • Jameel Noori Nastaleeq
     • Nafees Nastaleeq
     • Mehr Nastaliq
     • Faiz Nastaliq

   1. InPage-style Kashida Justification

   • Intelligent Kashida insertion.
   • Balanced line composition.
   • Reduced dependency on word spacing expansion.

   1. Urdu Nastaliq Composer

   • Dedicated composer specifically designed for Urdu Nastaliq.
   • Better handling of multi-line Nastaliq text flow.

   1. Word and Character Position Controls (Similar to InPage)

   • Move selected word or character Left.
   • Move selected word or character Right.
   • Move selected word or character Up.
   • Move selected word or character Down.
   • Fine positioning controls using keyboard shortcuts.
   • Visual nudging tools for precise Nastaliq adjustments.
   • Support for adjusting individual ligatures without affecting surrounding text.

   1. Improved Baseline Management

   • Automatic baseline correction for Nastaliq fonts.
   • Better alignment of words across multiple lines.

   1. Improved Ligature Handling

   • Context-sensitive Urdu ligatures.
   • Better OpenType feature utilization.
   • Enhanced glyph substitution and positioning.

   1. Nuqta and Aerab Optimization

   • Better placement of dots (Nuqta).
   • Improved positioning of diacritics (Aerab).
   • Collision detection and avoidance.

   1. Urdu Publishing Tools

   • Newspaper composition presets.
   • Book publishing presets.
   • Urdu typography presets.
   • Nastaliq-specific paragraph settings.

   1. Urdu Keyboard and Editing Enhancements

   • Better Urdu text editing experience.
   • Improved cursor behavior in Nastaliq text.
   • Advanced Urdu proofreading and composition tools.

   Many Urdu publishers continue to rely on InPage because of its superior Nastaliq composition quality and precise word-positioning controls. Bringing these capabilities into Adobe InDesign would greatly benefit the Urdu publishing industry and help professional publishers adopt InDesign as their primary layout and publishing platform.

   Thank you for your consideration.

3. Added PDF export tag to character styles for accessibility

   In InDesign, it would be helpful to have the option to export our style as an Artifact in the Character Styles tab, under "Markup Export". This would be very useful for accessibility, allowing for the automation of things like formatting bullets as Artifacts.

4. 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.

5. Redesign UserVoice forum

   In this sad, poorly designed forum, if you click an attached image, then click back to the forum, the idea you viewed disappears and a different idea is presented.

   When you attempt to post an idea, your email appears as the idea title.

   Which makes it unclear where to place the title and where the content of the post. In the end, your feedback is posted with your email as the title, and thus has to be deleted and reposted.

   Please redesign it.

6. 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.

7. 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…

8. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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

13. Add icon for Adobe Fonts to Find/Replace and Preflight panels

    It would be helpful if you showed the Adobe Font Cloud icon next to the font name in both the Find/Replace and the Preflight panels. There have been several times when someone has used a non-Adobe font, and I don't see that the font has dropped until a PDF has been exported and compressed. Our printer only supports Adobe Fonts; however, there is currently no system for people to verify at a glance, and checking every font in large documents is extremely time-consuming.

14. 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?

15. Export to pdf as print spreads with options for bleed, different binding, etc.

    This option should have been baked in from the beginning because when print shops request print spreads we have no easy way to convert since distiller is no longer up to the tast.

16. "Print Booklet" needs option to export to pdf instead of just postscript

    Print designers need the option to export as print spreads, which is currently only available as a postscript file. Adobe's distiller is no longer up to the task of easily converting files to pdf, plus it's an extra step that should be built in natively to InDesign. Yes, many printers do this after receiving your file but some print shops ask for print spreads to be delivered to them. This should have been baked into a print layout program from the beginning.

17. Generative AI - Alt Text and other AI Features

    These features should be turned off by default. Most users do not want generated content being automatically inserted into production documents without review or approval. If users do want AI assistance, it should be opt-in, with clear choices such as:

    Generate descriptions for all images
    Generate descriptions for selected images only
    Approve descriptions on a case-by-case basis

    I do not think automatically inserting generated content into live production files is a good approach.

    In real-world workflows especially regulated, accessibility, publishing, legal, pharmaceutical, or corporate environments every word often needs to be reviewed, approved, and sometimes audited. AI-generated alt text can absolutely be useful as a starting point, but it should never silently become part of the document unless the user explicitly accepts it.

    There is also the risk of inaccurate, inappropriate, misleading, or non-compliant content being introduced into documents without the user immediately noticing. That could create serious problems for regulated workflows, accessibility compliance, approvals, translations, and version-controlled production environments.

    AI should assist the user, not bypass existing review and sign-off processes.

    See the current thread.

    Resolved For User  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

    Gen Alt Text is turned ON by default. Users are informed the first time an image is placed to turn it off with a clear CTA.

    
    

    Closing this as As Designed.

18. Glyphs panel

    Is there a way to fix the font selection drop down menu in InDesign so that it does not scroll out of the InDesign UI? I have limited room on my desk to set up my laptop with the second monitor so my laptop is setup in front of the second monitor instead of side-by-side. Unfortunately, this makes it difficult to use the glyphs panel. It scrolls off of the second monitor onto my laptop screen and keeps on going off of my laptop screen. I've attached a screenshot to show what I am referring to.

19. 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!!!

20. Remove all alt text

    Like everyone, I was affected by the recent bug masquerading as a feature that added a ton of unwelcome AI alt text to every image that I didnt ask for and don't need. Now I have to go through image by image if I want it all out? One of these documents has over 2000 links. I NEED a way to remove all alt text easily. I didn't want it to begin with! Shameful this "feature" shipped at all, let alone without an easy undo! Are you THAT desperate to get your AI adoption number up? Guess so!
