  1. Assignment scripting and linking

    Currently there is no way to script the link of stories to assignments, I've been trying to script this but it's not possible. this would speed up my workflow as well as the workflow of my coworkers considerably to be able to do this. Also I think this is along the same line, there is no way to change assignment location via script. this doesn't come up often but its frustrating that it cannot be scripted.

  2. custom page numbering

    When you want to number the pages differently than the standard correlative, for example with a date system, weekly, monthly... There is no automatic option for the pages to be numbered by day of the week. If in addition to the options 1, 2, 3... 01, 02, 03... a, b, c... i, ii, iii... you add a "custom" with a popup to a list of... for example 20 custom fields (for months, weeks, work groups, jobs...) would be perfect.

  3. pages rounded corners

    There is no way to predict how a project with rounded corners will look, be it a book, business card, flyer... We can create boxes with rounded corners, but we don't have the option to do the same with pages, choose the type, radius...

    Please Add Option to Remove Individual Files from Recent List on Welcome Screen

    Message:

    Hi Adobe team,

    In the latest versions of InDesign, it seems the ability to right-click and remove individual files from the “Recent” list on the Welcome screen has been removed or is no longer available. This feature was incredibly useful for keeping the workspace clean and organized — especially when dealing with outdated or duplicate files.

    I would love to see this functionality restored or improved with a visible “Remove from Recent” option for each file, similar to what’s available in Illustrator and Photoshop.

  5. Scroll through placed multi-page PDFs or InDesign documents within InDesign

    Essentially, make the Show Import Options Preview panel directly accessible inside InDesign.

    This would save me a considerable amount of time.

  6. Impossible to copy comments from InDesign Reviews — very inconvenient for workflow

    It is extremely frustrating that comments left in InDesign Reviews (Share for Review) cannot be copied. Often, I need to paste a comment into a search bar, a style name, or simply save it for documentation. Having to manually retype every single comment is a waste of time and increases the risk of errors. Please add the ability to select and copy comment text directly from the Review panel. This is a basic feature that should not be missing.

  7. Give a Direction: Forward/Backward option in the Find/Change panel for Color

    The Text option for Find/Change has the option to cycle through the results in the opposite direction. This would be VERY helpful to have on the colour option as well, I have no idea why it would be available for text but not colour, it's the same function?

  8. Automatically assign left and right page

    It would be great to have a button that automatically assigns pages alternately as left and right page in a document. I work with documents that have 50 pages or more and they are separated in left and right page. When one page in the middle has to be deleted, it's always a struggle to shift them by hand.

  9. How long does a game of Cryptid last?

    When Cryptid board game is explained, most games last about 30–45 minutes. The gameplay is quick but mentally engaging. The length can vary slightly depending on how quickly players deduce the clues. It's designed to be concise yet challenging, making it perfect for game nights or short gaming sessions that still offer depth.

  10. Allow inserting symbolic footnotes (e.g., asterisk *) without affecting numbered footnotes

    In many types of publishing—especially academic, religious, and literary works—there is often a need to insert symbolic footnotes, such as a single asterisk (), double asterisks (*), dagger (†), or other custom characters, without affecting the numbering sequence of standard footnotes in the document.

    Currently, InDesign only supports one unified footnote style per document, which means that using a symbol instead of a number affects all footnotes globally. This makes it impossible to add a single symbolic note while keeping the rest of the footnotes numbered.

    Feature Request: Please consider allowing users to insert a one-time, manually defined…

  11. Auto delete imported remarks after accepting them

    When importing a pdf with remark/correctionss , its impossible to delete multiple remarks after accepting them. It would be great to have an option that deletes the remark after accepting it. I often have 700 pages books with 3000+ remarks. Indesign becomes soooo slow.

  12. relaxovat

    Dlouho jsem nemohl najít vhodnou zábavu na krátké přestávky, až jsem vyzkoušel plinko podvod. Zaujala mě upřímnost a jednoduchost platformy, stejně jako atmosféra, která netlačí, ale naopak - vytváří útulnost. Pár minut hry - a nálada se znatelně zlepšila.

  13. vertical text wrap

    Currently, if you have text center aligned (horizontally) when wrapping, the text stays centered between the end of the next box and the wrapping object. This should happen in the vertical as well, but currently doesn't.

    If there is text above a wrapping object, and the text is vertically center aligned, the text will either not move (if the wrapping object is lower than the text would end) or it will stay flush with the wrap.

    In my case, the fact the vertical doesn't work the same way as the horizontal makes it extremely difficult to design with a single…

  14. Convert Page Guides to Spread Guides

    I would like to suggest a small but highly useful improvement for a future update of InDesign.

    Currently, when guides are placed within a single page, there is no built-in way to convert them into spread guides (guides that span across the entire spread), unless they are re-created manually while holding Ctrl/Cmd during placement. This becomes especially frustrating when a layout contains a large number of precisely positioned guides that need to be extended to the full spread — for example, after a reorganization of pages or when switching from single-page to spread layout.

    Feature suggestion:
    Please consider adding an…

  16. Add Ligature on/off button to the available space for the character type panel

    Due to the recent update (June 2025), there is now an open space for another button on the character style in the Control Panel. The design with the additional space is throwing me off when clicking on Superscript. Adding a button for turning Ligatures on and off would absolutely make life easier. Right now you can turn on/off in character and paragraph style panels, or you have to go to the drop down Menu in the Character panel.

  17. Rounded Corners for Tables in InDesign

    Dear Adobe Team,

    As an InDesign user, I've encountered a limitation when designing tables in the software. Currently, there is no direct option to round the corners of tables, and this often leads to having to use workarounds to achieve the desired effect.

    I kindly request that the ability to round table corners be added as a direct feature in future InDesign updates, similar to how it's already available for rectangular shapes. This would greatly enhance the user experience and make design workflows more seamless.

    Thank you for your time and consideration,

  18. Integrate Optical Margin Alignment into Paragraph tab / Properties Panel

    The Optical Margin Alignment sits as a standalone checkbox in the Story Window. It would make much more sense to have this in the Paragraph Widow, and in the Properties Panel. Hyphenation is a check box here, why not have the same thing for hanging punctuation / optical margin alignment?

  19. Support for webp format when exporting to epub

    1. InDesign currently supports the WebP format.
    2. ePub 3.0 supports WebP Therefore, it would be beneficial if, when exporting to ePub, the image retains its original format and does not convert it to JPEG or PNG format. This ensures that the quality of the images used in the eBook remains high while maintaining a low file size.

  20. Add 'Apply to All' function when relinking multiple identical image files through the links panel.

    Add 'Apply to All' function when relinking multiple identical image files through the links panel - ie when swapping a PNG with an EPS or completely new image with a different files name. When relinking multiple identical images through the links panel, user is required to relink every single image separately one after another. Adding and 'Apply to All' function would speed up this process when looking to update 50 images as once.
