indesign 2024 version needed!!!
Hi, I need a 2024 version of Indesign because my INDD file shows damaged. The only way to recover is to open it with the old version which it was created from. This is very important to me. Thank you

Add sentence case to character options
Add sentence case to the character options (alongside all caps, small caps, lowercase, etc.). My clients often send content with titles typed in all caps, and I’d like a quick, reliable way to convert them to sentence case (and/or title case).

In Adobe InDesign, I am unable to set a table row height greater than 211.667 mm. However, this limitation does not occur in Microsoft Word, where larger row heights can be applied without issue. Could you please advise on how to address this restriction in InDesign?

Grids in Document setting
Grids do not belong to the app settings. Should be part of document settings.
Rework Styles/Settings.
In Styles, the tabs are not logical.
How is Language and 'Advanced Character Format'?
Why is 'Align to Grid' part of 'Indents and Spacing'?
Lots of work to do there.1 vote -
Save current document as a preset
It would be a better way to save presets, when a preset can be saved from the current document the user is working on. And then a dialog should appear to choose which settings should be included e.d. Document settings, grids, margins & columns, Parents, Styles, ...
The current way is quite useless.

Save/Load Ink Manager Configurations within one file.
I'd like to be able to save and load Ink Manager configurations, particularly ink alias sets, within a file.
Use case: I have a series of labels that are, except for color scheme and copy, exactly the same. I'd love to be able to produce the different color variations simply by loading a set of aliases. I could change the color configuration of each label variant simply by loading the ink manager alias set for that colors scheme, starting from a SINGLE master file, without having to resort to identical layers in different colors, etc.
My goal here is to…

Invite without sending a notification
It'd be great to have the ability to invite WITHOUT sending an invitation email. As an enterprise user who has to reach out to many internal departments – we do want multiple eyes on the document, however only at certain times in the process. It would be nice to be able to batch add the permissions to view the document but then not send invites so we can then individually assign tasks for collaboration through the comment system during the design and feedback process.
If you look at how Google achieves this through sharing permissions it would be similar a…

When using Find/Replace, show how many instances were found.
If I'm trying to find something in a document to modify it slightly, I'll use Find to find it. If there's only two instances of the thing occurring, than I can just quickly manually fix it. If there's 200 instances though, then I know I either need to be more specific in my search or start writing some GREP. The problem is that I have no way of knowing how many times the thing I'm looking for occurs, and if it's a lot I would have to click through "Find Next" an unknown number of times. When replacing items, there…

See Page Content Order and Structure Types (as in Acrobat) in InDesign
The InDesign/Acrobat accessible PDF workflow is a nightmare. Fixing reading order and tags in Acrobat is one particularly frustrating aspect of that nightmare.
It would be very helpful – and a major time-saver because of these issues in Acrobat – to be able to see Page Content Order and Structure Types, as displayed in Acrobat when the Reading Order tool is active, in InDesign so that issues can be resolved BEFORE export to interactive PDF.
A much more productive solution would be to have live updates in Acrobat as changes are made in InDesign. I'd be seriously impressed if you…

Spell check
My biggest frustration is the mediocre or completely missing spell check. It may work in English, but unfortunately not in Dutch. For me, and I believe for many others as well, this could be a great update.

Subject: Request for 'Point Type' tool in InDesign (Like Illustrator)
Hi Adobe Community and Team,
I am transitioning from CorelDRAW and Illustrator to InDesign for my publication projects. While I understand that InDesign is frame-based, I find it very cumbersome that we cannot simply click and type without manually creating a text frame first.
In Illustrator, we have 'Point Type' where a single click allows us to start typing immediately. This would be a huge time-saver for small labels, page headers, or quick annotations in InDesign as well.
Is there any plan to introduce a 'Point Type' behavior or a shortcut to create a text frame with a single click…

"Select Fully Enclosed Objects Only" Mode
Subject: Addition of a selection toggle to include only objects entirely within the marquee area.
Problem Statement:
Currently, InDesign’s selection tool (Marquee Selection) selects any object that the selection frame touches (Crossing Selection). In complex layouts with large background elements or overlapping frames, this behavior forces users to constantly lock layers or manually deselect unwanted items, significantly slowing down the workflow.Proposed Solution:
Introduce a toggle (e.g., in the Control Panel or Preferences) or a modifier key (e.g., holding Alt while dragging) that changes the selection logic. When active, only objects situated 100% inside the marquee rectangle will be selected.…

technology
I would like to suggest integrating generative AI testing tools capabilities into InDesign to enhance automation and smart workflow optimization. By leveraging AI-driven intelligence, InDesign could automatically analyze document layouts, detect design inconsistencies, suggest formatting improvements, and even generate templates based on user behavior or uploaded samples.
This would significantly reduce manual effort, improve design accuracy, and streamline repetitive publishing tasks. Integrating AI-powered automation similar to generative AI testing tools could make InDesign more adaptive, intelligent, and efficient for modern content creators and production teams.

Reorganise the SWATCHES WINDOW to be able to see ALL colour values
Many os us (designers) don't have a huge screen to be able to spread all windows/tools allover thus, my request is regarding the way the colours names are displayed in the swatches window. I can’t see all values!!! (check attached image)
Even using the "small list view", all values can't been seen (this is what I see now: C=30 M=60 Y=4...) unless the swatches window is really wide... using too much space out of my screen. (check attached image)
Maybe a quick solution could be using C30 M60 Y40 K10 instead of C=30 M=60 Y=40 K=10
There are also many…
