More options to compare fonts
When creating a layout I often like to compare different fonts and see which one best matches the project. I would like feature where you can input text (eg. a title or line of text) and get an overview of that text in different fonts that you have installed. Currently you can only go through the list of fonts via the character panel, but this doesn't offer a lot of flexibility in comparing your options side by side.

Add "insert text at cursor" to Review tools
Share for Review is great - however why was the "insert text" tool left out of the review tools? I do reviews every day and the 3 most important tools are "delete text", "replace text" and "insert text at cursor" - to know exactly where added text should go. It's part of the PDF commenting tools since forever - why was it left out of this Review function? Please add it, we can't offer this solution to our stakeholders without it.

Options to individualize QR Codes
It would be nice to have some features to individualize QR-Codes.
For example to put a grafphic/trademark in the middle, rounding the edges, dots instead of squares... There could be many Options.
"qrcode-monkey" has some good options to individualize QR Codes.3 votes -
I need in InDesign these tools: 1. in the «Path» I need «Outline Stroke 2. “Perespective” tool 3. the new “Generate” like what in Illustrat
I do almost all design and drawings in the InDesign program, so I found these tools in Photoshop and Illustrator. It is nice and ok for me not to leave InDesign and do all the things I need for printing and layout.
I am using InDesign Eastern language. (The Generating, is still not in the Eastern Version!!).

Add space before text on the first line in a text box
For each new chapter in a book, we like to add space before the chapter title, but need to either modify the size of the text box (dragging the top down), or we need to add a paragraph break to act as a work-around to create space before the first line of text.
It'd be great if InDesign had a feature to allow added space before the first line.

Reposition feedback-box in shared Indesign document
It would be useful if you could change the position of the feedback box so that you could make the order logical. Now sometimes the comments are not in the reading order and that makes it unclear.

Publish Online & Right-Click
I frequently use the feature in InDesign that allows direct online export. However, as an artist and creator, I find it inappropriate that anyone can easily right-click on the artwork and save it as an image. For example, Google Drive doesn't allow viewers to do that. Can InDesign implement a similar restriction?
Password protection isn't good enough; sometimes it doesn't work, and we need to make editors' lives easier. I want full control over my images and don't want anyone to save my images to their desktop so easily. It's true that many images are online, but not all of…

Regarding the behavior of Adobe app UI in a multiple-screen case
The scenario: Company given laptop usage with Adobe apps. Using multiple monitors at workplace. Also the same while working from home.
Problem: The UI (floating windows, toolbox, etc.,) keep spreading out in different monitors or screens, which is annoying to to settle every time as the preferred monitor keeps changing. Please see attached image (UI spread cross monitors.jpg)
Proposed solution: I understand that it might be difficult for app to trace the monitor I am using. At least there should be a possibility to 're-arrange all UI in one monitor' when I use 'Workplace' menu and choose my favorite workplace…

Upsample Images on PDF Export
DESCRIPTION:
Indesign could offer the option of upsampling images to a specified PPI on PDF export. Rather than requiring the user to find each under-res image and manually destructively upsample each with a round-trip through Photoshop.
Optimally, there could be a threshold setting below which an image resolution is too low. This could be either "effective" resolution PPI number threshold ("Upsample images with an effective placed resolution above 120ppi"), or a max scale percentage that would be needed to get the image up to the set output resolution ("Upsample images within 40% of target resolution." or "Upsample images by no…

Enable the deletion of button rollover state once it's been created
Once you've created a button AND applied a rollover state, you can't currently delete it. I know you can "hide" it, and I know you can convert the button back to an object, but I want the ability to delete the rollover state once it's been created. Similar to a multi-state object, it would be great if we can delete the rollover state (like you can do with individual states in an MSO).

search
Make the search bar visible when users press CMD+F (or windows alternative).
At the moment, when you click to search text on a document that's shared for review, it seems like the search bar doesn't appear. But in reality it's hidden behind the comments panel. You have to close the comments/preview panels to see it.
This causes a lot of "there's no search bar" comments from users, and we have to specifically tell them now when we share for review "it's hidden. Close this panel".
The search function should always be visible when someone presses CMD+F.

Put the Overset text warning directly at the beginning of the export file process
When I want to export a PDF, InDesign kindly reminds me of overset text or missing links. However, I do not understand why this warning appears at the very end, after I have gone through the file location selection and PDF export settings. Obviously, I want to correct this error in 95% of cases. Instead, I have to cancel the export, then go through the entire process again. The file location, file name, and any PDF export settings I might have changed are lost, and I have to start all over again.

apply height or width to several image frames at once
Sometimes I need to make a slight adjustment in size to several images in a piece, and they all need to be the same size. If there was a way to select them all and then type in the height/width to apply to each selected item rather than all of them as a whole, that would save a lot of time of having to select and size each one separately.
2 votesSelect 1 image. Change its size to what you want for it and other images.
Then select rest of the images on that spread and choose Object > Transform Again > Transform Sequence Again Individually.
Hope it resolves the issue for you.

Adobe gentlemen listen to me! I would like to have the possibility that when I export a PDF for printing a certain paragraph style does not
Adobe gentlemen listen to me! I would like to have the possibility that when I export a PDF for printing a certain paragraph style does not come out... it should be a setting inside the paragraph style to tell it with an option do not export... it could be very useful in case I have a catalog with prices and I want to export the PDF without. Thank you

"Hyphenate" not be the default paragraph option
As has recently been completed for Illustrator (https://bit.ly/4bTHEZJ), please turn off hyphenation as the default.

Improve Conversion of Adobe Illustrator Documents Into InDesign Documents
It is a sad, sad day when you realize you built an entire library of corporate charts in the wrong Adobe app. And an even sadder day when you realize that converting Adobe Illustrator files into Adobe InDesign files is not straightforward. You will now spend hours creating text boxes, with copy-pasta-weary fingers... If only converting illustrator text to indesign text were easier... Alas, my fate is bound. Woe is me. I shall make a weak cry out for help to Adobe developers before I continue my trudging along in my pitiful sorrow.
