1. Scaling Text in InDesign

   I would like to suggest an improvement to how InDesign handles text scaling. Currently, when I scale an object containing text, the visual size of the text changes, but InDesign still shows the original size in the text panel, displayed in parentheses. This forces users to go through several complicated steps to make the scaled text size permanent without showing the parentheses.

   It would be incredibly useful if Adobe could implement a simple feature where the scaled text size is automatically updated to a permanent size, without needing to create outlines or perform manual recalculations. This would streamline workflows and give users more control over their design elements.

   What could be improved:

   • Scale text to a permanent size, not as a transformation, without the need to use "Create Outlines."
   • A simple function to convert scaled text to a permanent size without parentheses showing in the text panel.

   I believe this would make InDesign even more efficient and user-friendly for designers, improving workflows for those who often work with scaled objects containing text.

2. Search features for Paragrapch and Character Style Sheets

   I work with very large publications, and sometimes will get them from a previous designer. When making design changes, it's essential to be able to find the old styles throughout the book to make adjustments instead of deleting an entire style and have it reflow everything.

3. Ability to set a layer to high res preview permanently

   It would be great to be able to set a layer to high res preview permanently. So that everytime you opened a document it remembered that Layer 2 for example needs to be high res preview.

   Reason for this: I work with a lot of dies in packaging, and when I link to them they always lose the high res view, but I need the high res view for the die so I can precisely design.

   Yes, I'm aware I can copy and paste the die from illustrator into InDesign, but when you are working with numerous files, it's best to link to one die so it can be changed across all files as needed.

4. Calendar Wizard!

   So this is a cry for help! I've been using the Calendar Wizard script but when I go to populate the calendar, I'm unable to access some controls because the window that pops up does not give me access to the options at the bottom (save, etc). I can expand the screen to full-size and the options do not appear. I even had my computer service remote-in and look and they said it's likely a programming error. Can anyone help?

   This last time I used it, I manually added 4 custom calendars and the window re-tiled to the right and down every time I hit "save", the last time, it actually shoved the original window off the edge of my monitor and I had to force-close it on Task Manager because I wasn't able to even see an edge to grab to drag it back into view.

5. Update Hyperlinks after destination file rename

   Hi there and thanks for this wonderful tool!

   Usually I always find a way to do what I want thanks to ExtendScript which is just amazing.

   However in this case it seems that it's not possible (https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/target-the-source-hyperlink-destination-document-of-an-hyperlinks/m-p/11498930)

   I am now working on a very long document that we split in three .indd files and have dozens of hyperlinks in each file to jump from one file to another.

   Let's say they are called:

   P_EN_v1.0.indd
   Q_EN_v1.0.indd
   R_EN_v1.0.indd
   

   If we find things to update in those files then we would like to share new versions with attendants to our event as new set of files that are named differently from the previous ones. So we would call them for instance:

   P_EN_v2.0.indd
   Q_EN_v2.0.indd
   R_EN_v2.0.indd
   

   However, as soon as files are renamed, all the hyperlinks are broken and need to be redefined by hand one by one. The error shown after renaming is:

   Hyperlink destination document not found. Please verify the
   document's location in the Hyperlinks panel before choosing
   this hyperlink.
   

   Not only the destination file path is lost, but also the name of the "Hyperlink Destination", so one needs to be very careful to re-link every single Hyperlink to its proper destination, and given we have dozens and dozens this can be very error prone.

   It would be very useful if there was a way to say that file P_EN_v1.0.indd was renamed as P_EN_v2.0.indd, and therefore update all Hyperlinks that are pointing to v1.0 to point to v2.0 in a single operation.

   According to the forum discussion linked above it is not possible to achieve this through scripting, but only through exporting as IDML, doing a find&replace and exporting again as INDD.

   However it seems to me that this should be supported by InDesign itself, since renaming files should be a harmless enough thing to do. Otherwise as soon as I start linking I am actually deadlocking myself to forever use the file names as they are or have to relink everything.

   And in case of an event like us where every day we update the file and have a new set with v1.0, v1.1, v1.2, v2.0, and so on, and each file has dozens of links, that would be greatly appreciated.

   Thank you so much for reading this far,

   Have a great day!

9. Make Edit Original available with Adobe Experience Manager

   Hello, we recently implemented Adobe Experience Manager as our DAM and since then we lost the EDIT ORIGINAL option for our links in InDesign which is a heavily used feature for us given that some of our designers are spending a lot more time having to open different tools to edit each link. Anyway we can get that back?

10. Can we swap 'Don't Save' and 'Cancel' back the way they were in all Adobe apps please.

    Can we swap 'Don't Save' and 'Cancel' back the way they were in all Adobe apps please. I'm not sure why this change was made, it doesn't seem to make any sense to have swapped these and it's driving me and everyone in my workplace absolutely mental. It has been the other way round for decades, it's ingrained in every single one us since we were birthed into the adobe suite. Please for the love of god change it back. Regards, Everyone everywhere in the Adobe universe.

12. Performance on Apple Silicon

    I’m writing to report ongoing performance issues in Adobe InDesign that the latest update unfortunately hasn’t resolved.

    On my Apple Silicon Mac Studio (M2 chip, 64 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD) running macOS Sonoma 15.1.1 (24B91), even simple tasks like switching between a text box (T) and an object (V) have a noticeable delay of about half a second. This was never an issue on my older Intel-based MacBook Pro with Adobe CS, and it’s making normal daily work in InDesign frustratingly slow.

    For comparison, Illustrator performs flawlessly, with instant responses as expected, making the difference between the two apps striking.

    I’ve already tried troubleshooting steps such as reinstalling the app, clearing the cache, and resetting preferences, but the issue persists, leading me to believe it may be related to the code.

    Could you please advise on how to resolve this? I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

13. Enhancements Needed for InDesign's Font and Shortcut Menus

    1. Search Functionality in Keyboard Shortcut Settings

    In Photoshop, the keyboard shortcut settings include a search function that facilitates quick navigation through extensive menus. Implementing a similar feature in InDesign would streamline workflow efficiency.

    1. Improved Font Menu Navigation

    The current font dropdown menu displays a limited number of typefaces, necessitating extensive scrolling. Expanding the dropdown to utilize the full screen height would allow more fonts to be visible simultaneously, reducing the need for excessive scrolling.

    Additionally, when searching for a font, the cursor defaults to the top of the menu, highlighting the last used font. Positioning the cursor directly at the searched font would enhance usability, especially when frequently switching between similar font families.

    Implementing these enhancements would significantly improve the user experience in InDesign.

14. Persistent Tutorial Pop-ups in InDesign

    Dear Technical Support,

    I am experiencing persistent issues with Adobe InDesign, where tutorial pop-ups and annotations for new features continue to appear, even after repeatedly clicking the "Skip" button. This behavior is highly irritating and disrupts my workflow. Could you please advise on how to disable these pop-ups?

15. MathML Fonts Configure and CMYK color Usage

    Hello Experts,

    I have an doubt on how to configure the Math job fonts (e.g., STIX General and Mathmatical PI and Symbol fonts etc.,) to new feature MathML.

    The most of the Books and Journals are typeset in base Job fonts, please guide me how to configure the fonts in MathML new feature and also is it possible to apply the CMYK color?

    If we used in MathType it's very hard to manage the fonts, from system to system user editing the equations (eps format) if the fonts not installed and clash then the equations are shown empty box appeared in MathType Eps file.

    I thankful to introduce the MathML technology in build in Adobe InDesign, however upcoming new version will full fill my request.

    Thanks for your guidance and support.

17. In Find/replace be able to find specifically an upper or lower case version of the search

    Several fonts have kerning issues. Specifically capital Y and lower case o like in words such as You. The Yo tends to look like Y ou. Lowercase usually looks fine. The request is to be able to find specifically a cap or lower case version of a letter or group of letters. In the Y o example putting a negative tracking on the Y will make it once again look like Yo without having to find and fix in excess of 80 You, yours, etc. per file.

20. Flat PDF made of JPGs

    It would be useful to have an option to export PDF in which every page is an image file (JPG or Tiff or...). I would appreciate this because I usually send some draft to my customers and they simply open the file with some PDF editor (or Illustrator) and make changes by themselves.
    To prevent this, I just export in JPG format (instead of PDF) from Indesign and then I drop the images into Acrobat and send the PDF as a draft.

    We could bypass this step having this option as "Flat PDF export".

    Thanks.
