  1. Type Menu - Change Case; would be wonderful if it could have Title Case with the option to not capitalize articles etc.

    Add a true Title Case option that follows standard publishing capitalization rules (e.g., Chicago), rather than capitalizing every word. Articles, coordinating conjunctions, and appropriate prepositions should remain lowercase, with first/last words and other required words capitalized.

    Current InDesign Title Case = Across The Ages
    Actual title case = Across the Ages

  2. Revision tracking when using Book feature

    I often use the Book feature to combine related files into a project. This could be different revisions of an ad for different publications, assets for identity (like business cards, letterhead, envelopes, etc.). This lets me collect and package the files in one folder without duplicating assets like fonts and shared graphics.

    If I make a change to a document and save it under a new name the .indb file will retain its link to the now obsolete file. I have to update the Book to use the new version. This I must to for each revision for each file…

  3. Hotkey change for space button [WIN] (Middle Mouse Button to pan around)

    Please, after years people demanding this, include a simple option to be able to change or modify the shortcuts for the Space Button (Pan). I for myself would love to add the middle mouse button, like it is in Illustrator to pan around.
    It's frustrating, that this company is absolutely not capable of unifying there basic stuff around all porgrams.

  4. Allow Paragraph Borders and Shading to Inherit Text Color, Just Like Paragraph Rules

    InDesign already allows Paragraph Rules to use Text Color as their color source. I would like the same option to be available for Paragraph Borders and Paragraph Shading.

    At the moment, Paragraph Borders and Shading can only use a fixed swatch. This creates unnecessary manual work whenever the text color of individual paragraphs needs to vary while the same paragraph style is retained.

    For example, I am currently working on a publication in which many subheadings share the same typography, spacing, and border treatment, but the client wants different colors for different subheadings.

    Ideally, I should be able to use…

  5. QR Code Pallet

    Qr Codes should have their own Workspace Pallet with at least the same options as the QR Monkey site.

    I used to use the PatternMaker plugin for InDesign, and it was so much more convenient to to have that pallet than it is to fumble through the menus every time I need a new one.

    Plus, PatternMaker placed the QR Code into an existing image box, so I didn't have to cut/paste the newly made code into the text flow of my 1000 page catalog.

  7. InDesign language management needs improvement

    Dear Adobe Team,

    I am a long-time Adobe InDesign user and I would like to express my frustration regarding language management within the application.

    Despite having Creative Cloud configured in Italian, InDesign frequently switches back to English after updates. The only reliable solution appears to be uninstalling and reinstalling the application, which is extremely time-consuming and disruptive.

    Considering that InDesign is a professional product used worldwide, it is surprising that there is still no simple built-in option allowing users to switch the application interface language without reinstalling the software.

    Users working in international environments often need to switch between English…

  8. Centering Logos Without Considering the ® Symbol

    It’s a small detail, but when a logo has a ® or ™ that makes its overall frame wider, I usually crop out the trademark, center the actual logo, and then undo the crop. I know the difference is negligible, but that’s just how I prefer to align things. Since Adobe keeps adding AI tools to InDesign, it would be nice to have an option that automatically ignores ® and ™ symbols when aligning a logo.

  9. Edit Webp Option to have Photoshop

    For some reason when using the 'edit in' feature from the links panel or right click there is no option for photoshop for webp files. Even if you select the photoshop application on mac, it just opens the app file not allowing you to select photoshop.

    But you can edit webp files in photoshop, so this adds the step to right clicking revel in finder and then opening the image in photoshop from finder to edit it.

    Please fix

  10. Streaming/Downloading Files from Cloud providors should be a non-blocking background event

    I imagine both MacOS and Windows provide some information about whether files are available locally or remotely. In either case, it would be beneficial for performance if InDesign did not block the interface while it was trying to open files that are not returned within a specific frame window (under 100ms seems reasonable).

    When a delay is encountered, draw the proxy or frame shape (if no proxy is available) and overlay a cloud or disk icon and some indication of loading progress. This would go a long way to directly communicate that InDesign has not crashed or otherwise failed in…

  11. hyperlink

    Currently if we embed URL link- hyperlink highlighting the word within a hidden text box, the link does not work. We have to create a multi-step setup using the Object States panel so the box appears before the link can be clicked. We have to create the text box for the hyperlink, having to match the line and indentation is a painful process when you decide to edit the main text box. There are few other steps to enabling this hyperlink box work, creating a trigger button etc. This seems quite inefficient and was hoping Adobe could enable users to…

  13. Allow users to move the colours and colour groups up and down the list under the drop-down menu at the top of the page

    Hi there,

    Please could anyone tell me if there is a way to (or why we cannot) reorder the colours in the drop-down colour palette…?

    I have created several colour groups and swatches (lower down the list than shown in the image below), but there doesn’t seem any easy way to simply reorder it so the colours and groups I use most are on the top… It would be so much easier if I could just move my favourite / regular colours by clicking on the line and moving it up or down the list. This would seem an easy…

  14. Avoid repeated line beginnings and endings in Paragraph Composer

    Avoid repeated line beginnings and endings in Paragraph Composer

    In professional book typesetting, repeated beginnings or endings on consecutive lines can create distracting visual patterns. For example, several consecutive lines may begin with the same short word (“de”, “the”, “of”, etc.) or end with the same letters, syllables, words, or word endings.

    There are third-party tools that can detect some of these repetitions after the text has already been composed, but correcting them manually is extremely time-consuming. Fixing one occurrence may also recompose the paragraph and create another repetition a few lines later.

    InDesign already evaluates alternative line breaks, hyphenation…

  15. Change the format from JPEG to PNG after using Remove background directly in Adobe InDesign, so the final PNGs are usable without background

    Change the format from JPEG to PNG after using Remove background directly in Adobe InDesign, so the final PNGs are usable without backgrounds. There is no use of removing backgrounds of JPEGs in big files when you cannot use them without the backgrounds. When one is working on a big catalogue filled with 1500 jpegs, one cannot change them into PNGs in InDesign. This feature would help a lot of graphic designers, I am sure of it. The solution would be simple for you – add menu for picking the format before applying of removing the background.

  16. Pie charts and other charts

    Why are tables the limit for charts in indesign?

    I know we can make them in illustrator and copy them over/import them, but come on, this program should have this basic feature already.

    This is getting ridiculous, Indesign has been out since 1999 and that isn't counting the pagemaker predecessor from 1985....

    And y'all are focusing on ai slop instead. Please add more advance charts; etc. Get it together.

  17. New Window directly from Page/Spread

    I'd like to have the option to create a new window/tab/view into a file from a specific page/spread. I keep my Pages panel open, so I'd want to be able to right click a page and open a new window (that I can place on another screen as a reference).

    My workaround would be to export as a PDF and open the relevant page in Acrobat on my second screen, or manually create a new window and then navigate to the relevant page.

    Being able to do this in a single step saves a small amount of time, but convenience…

  18. Allow for Wider PDF Export

    Illustrator updated the maximum width years ago, can indesign please update this too.

    Sometimes when exporting large pdfs like banners, we need to export spreads up to 10 meters+, please allow this to be a feature, so it's easier to show a proof to a client .

  19. Please create the SHARE FOR REVIEW link updateable as a standalone and not linked to just one indesign file.

    Here is what’s happening in my workflow.

    I create an indesign file (file_260729.ind) and share a link to clients for checking.

    Once the client adds their comments, i revise the indesign file and save it as (file_260730.ind) now I NEED to create a new share for review link for clients which makes it confusing for clients to follow especially if you're dealing with a number of clients, each commenting at their own pace.

    I have tried creating just one indesign MASTER file for client to check and just create an indesign copy for myself as archive BUT once i try…

  20. Paragraph Rules/Underline Skip Ink

    Can Paragraph Rules/Underlines be updated to have a 'skip ink' feature, similar to how figma works.

    For example, if I wanted to add a rule/underline below the word "example", I could choose for the line to go through the letter p or to skip any descenders adding in a gap to the line.
