How Can I Safely Buy a Reliable Used Car from Japan?
How can you safely buy a reliable used car from Japan? The key is understanding Japan’s vehicle inspection system, exporter credibility, and documentation requirements. Japan’s mandatory shaken inspection ensures most vehicles are well maintained, but buyers should still review auction sheets, service records, and mileage verification for accuracy. When sourcing second hand cars in japan, check whether the exporter is registered with recognized auction houses and confirm they provide clear photos, chassis numbers, and grading reports. It’s also essential to calculate the total landed cost, including freight, insurance, customs duties, and local compliance modifications. Reviewing export data from established industry…

Set "Align to Key Object" default to select the object on the bottom layer
Feature Request: Set "Align to Key Object" default to select the object on the bottom layer
Hello! I've been using Adobe Creative Suite products for about 20 years, and one feature that would be a huge and helpful time saver is to switch the default settings for the "Align" > "Align to Key Object" feature. Currently, the feature appears to always default to having the top object as the key object. However, in most cases when I want to use Align to Key Object, I want the bottom object to be the key object. Because of the current default, it…

Page numbering starting with 0 (zero)
Page numbering in InDesign can start from 1 oder any other higher number, but not from 0 (zero). Though this might be a rare case, this case occured to me for a type of documents that use zero-based indexing for page numbering.

How Strict Is the 4 Font Sizes Rule in Real Projects?
Hi everyone,
I’m a bit confused about the rule of using only 4 font sizes. Should this rule apply to the entire website or just per page (including header and footer geometry dash scratch )?
For example, on blog pages I prefer 18px for readability, but on e-commerce product pages 16px works better for labels and compact layouts.
How do you handle font sizing when a site has both long-reading content and more functional pages?
Do you keep one consistent scale across the whole site, or adjust per section?Would love to hear your thoughts!

Large UI – Is there a way to make it smaller?
Hi everyone, survival race
Even at the smallest available UI size, everything still feels too large for me. In previous versions, I was able to use a much smaller (tiny) UI setting, which worked perfectly.
Is there any way to reduce the UI size further?
I’m using a 1080p HP laptop screen.Thanks in advance for your help!

Easier way to maneuver through different opened documents
I often work with multiple documents pulled up at once. It is difficult to maneuver through them when they don't all fit on that top banner. I wish I could have certain folders for certain projects.

color replacement
I received a file from a client created in InDesign, and the following issue occurred: the text was in CMYK colors, and we needed to convert them to Pantone. However, when replacing the CMYK color with the corresponding Pantone in the color palette, the text shifted, as shown in the attached video.

DATA MERGE - Multiple or Single Page Import from Ai or PDF
I would like to be able to import multiple artboards or pages from an Illustrator file or PDF document when using Data Merge.
For example:
Column K
@Images
R:\Customer\SALES ORDERS\SOnumber\Working\01-0001.ai:1 ( Design to be printed in Artboard 1 )Column L
@Images
R:\Customer\SALES ORDERS\SOnumber\Working\01-0001.ai:2 ( Spot colours listed in Artboard 2 )I use Data Merge for creating Prepress proofs for large orders, and we have to show the design to be printed and the spot colours used on each document.
The issue is that InDesign won't list the colours used per page only per document, so my solution is…

[ID-4274540] Support for JPEG XL (.jxl) import/placement
Dear InDesign Team,
Please add native support for the JPEG XL (.jxl) format in Adobe InDesign.
While JPEG XL is already supported in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, InDesign currently lacks the ability to place or export .jxl files. With Apple now using JPEG XL as a standard for ProRAW (starting with iPhone 16 Pro) and its superior compression and HDR capabilities, it is becoming a critical format for high-end publishing and photography workflows.
The lack of support forces users into unnecessary conversion steps (to TIFF or PSD), which increases file sizes and slows down the workflow.Key benefits for InDesign…

Alternative to GREP: keywords
Grep styles are incredibly useful to use, and I use them very frequently. However, sometimes I would simply like to apply a style to a long list of keywords. To illustrate an example, I like to apply a style to game terms when writing for TTRPGs.
This is technically doable via Grep but quickly becomes unwieldy when the list of words is long. I would love some way to include a large list of words and automatically apply a character style to any word that appears in that list. Alternatively, a way to quickly copy all grep styles from one…

Increase bounding box line thickness via Preferences > User Interface Scaling > Anchor Points, Handle, and Bounding Box Display Size
I would like the option in Preferences > User Interface Scaling > Anchor Points, Handle, and Bounding Box Display Size to be able to thicken the bounding box lines more. The Anchor Points and Handle are plenty big even with low scaling, but even with large scaling, the lines don't get thick enough for me to see well on my high-res display. Thanks for considering.

Better printing options
Since Publisher is being discontinued by microsoft I have switched to indesign looking for a replacement. I am loving many of the features but it is VERY difficult to print from indesign myself. I literally have to click into 3 windows and a separate drop-down to make sure my files are printing the right direction, on the right size paper, and if I need a flip, flipping the right direction. Also, There is no preview option, I especially miss the preview option in publisher where I can lower the opacity and see what the front and back flipped pages will…

Establish a display of current baseline grid “increment every ##pt” and also a link to change in the paragraph styles menu.
I teach design at the Univ of MN. I stress the importance of utilizing baseline grids, but students are constantly confused how to establish and modify them despite my best efforts. For how vital baseline grids are, the modification of their settings seem very hidden with the settings panel. Also the language surrounding baseline grid is vague — align to grid could mean the square grid, the column/margins grid, or the baseline grid.
By establishing a display of the current baseline grid settings in the paragraph styles (indents & spacing), a more obvious connection to that grid would be created.…
