  1. Add a tab feature that automatically sets even spacing between words or blocks of text

    When creating forms, I often have a line of text where I need to break the line into individual words or groups of words, similar to placing them in columns, but it's done using tab stops. It would be great to have a tab feature that lets you automatically set the tab distance between each word group so that the spacing between each word group is consistent. Right now it has to be done manually setting multiple tab stops on each line, which is time-consuming.

  2. clipping path select subject

    Detect edges is way out of date. This should/could be replaced with the same sort of programing that the current Text runaround tool uses (select subject) this would give designers a ton more speed to get designs done rather than needing to go back and forth to Photoshop to create clipping paths. Currently want this mostly for the mock up stage of my design files but if the paths are good enough i don't see why they couldn't wind up being used in final production. This would save loads of time... Especially if it was object aware and could create…

  3. Free time

    Looking for some online entertainment, I came across https://mcw-bangladesh.org/ . I liked that the site was easy to navigate and seemed safe. Plus, they offer bonuses that suit Bangladeshi users, which adds a nice local touch. I find it enjoyable to spend my time here, with a variety of games that keep things interesting. The platform is a great way to unwind without feeling too commercial or complicated.

  4. Quickly Change Icon Panel Auto Collapse

    Depending upon the type of work I'm doing, I find myself going to Edit > Preferences > Interface and turning on or off Auto-Collapse Icon Panels.
    It would be very convenient, and save several clicks, if this could be done on the Icon Panel itself, either with a checkbox or a toggle icon.

  5. Stop turning all your products into Canva

    The pop ups and changes to the UI are unnecessary and disruptive to decades of established workflow. Stop treating your established customer base like they're idiots and not design professionals. If wanted to use Canva I would.

  6. Global Edit

    It would be extremely helpful to have a global edit feature like Illustrator. For example, I created a 2 layer text "graphic" to use as an indicator multiple times across a 12 page document. Once it printed, I realized the opacity was too high so it wasn't legible. Now I have to go and edit each individual instance of the exact same item or edit, and paste/duplicate it all over again. If Global Edit was a feature, I could select the object, select Global Edit, and make changes 1 time applying it to ever other instance automatically.

  7. Direct Editing of Photoshop Layers in InDesign

    Description:
    Currently, users must switch back to Photoshop to edit layer details, masks, or effects before re-importing images into InDesign. This process can be time-consuming and interrupts the creative flow. It would be highly efficient to enable direct editing of Photoshop layers—such as brush adjustments, opacity, blend modes, and layer masks—within InDesign itself, without needing to reopen Photoshop.

    Benefits for Users:

    Streamlines the workflow by reducing the need to switch between Photoshop and InDesign
    Speeds up the design process, as minor adjustments could be made directly in InDesign
    Allows more flexibility in applying last-minute edits and achieving the desired look…

  8. Place Images Behind Text Without Outlines

    Description:
    In Adobe InDesign, there is currently no option to place images behind text without converting the text to outlines or paths. In Photoshop, this is easily achieved using layer masks and clipping masks. It would be highly beneficial to have a similar feature in InDesign, allowing users to place images directly behind text that can still be edited (font, size, and content) without converting it to outlines.

    Benefits for Users:

    Increased flexibility and efficiency when working with text and images
    Ability to maintain the editability of the text (users can continue to adjust font, size, and wording)
    More intuitive…

  12. How about fixing InDesign’s Export to EPUB tools?

    How about fixing InDesign’s Export to EPUB tools? Sure, you can convert an InDesign file to EPUB, but it really doesn’t do a complete job. Hanging indents and alignment of lists come in in a very spotty way. The alignments and spacing to hanging indents don’t hold. And then, while straight Roman text converts fairly nicely, when there are switches to italic or boldface text the type tends to get all scrunched up and is not at all presentable. I thought the best part of the ongoing subscription model was that fixes to issue would be forthcoming in a much,…

  13. Parametric style.

    Parametric style. What does it mean? In the description of the style, we have an additional field "Depends on", in which we indicate the Name of the selected Template. Now the same style will get different settings on different pages. For example, the alignment of the text in the block on the left pages will be on the left edge, and on the right - on the right.
    If the brochure has different sections, the same style of headings and subheadings can have different colors. Example: the "cheese" section has yellow headings, and the "cherry" section has red headings. And…

  15. InDesign Server on Windows Server Core OS

    Add support for running InDesign Server on Windows Server Core OS.
    Core OS has a smaller resource footprint and is less vulnerable from a security standpoint than Server Standard. Some orgs including ours prefer to migrate to that OS where possible for this reason.

  16. Make it possible to (gradually) lock pages in the pages panel

    That is a nice way to disinguish pages that are finished and pages that need work. An, off course, to prevent pages from changing.

    I understand there are some challenges, like multipage stories and master items, but maybe the lock function should take that into account, a dialog that gives the user the choice: 'The pages you are going to lock contain parts of stories that are connected to unlocked pages. Do you want InDesign to split those stories? Or do you want a 'soft lock' that locks all positions, but allows text to reflow?'

    And then: a fully locked…

  17. Add Find or Search in a document Shared for Review from InDesign

    It is critical that reviewers of our white papers are able to use Find or Search in InDesign documents that are Shared for Review to locate terms and phrases used in the InDesign document.

    I can't believe that Command F or Ctrl F doesn't work in documents that are Shared for Review from InDesign. This does work for documents Shared by Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Pro.

    Why is this not an option when commenting on documents shared by InDesign?

    I can use Edit > Find > Find in Google Chrome to search, but it only searches the COMMENTS, not text…

    A much-needed feature is the ability to style a text frame in a thread, so that the text flows between frames and takes on the style from the frame in which it is at the moment.
