  2. Copy-Paste between Illustrator and InDesign

    Unfortunately, it is no longer possible since version 2024. Copy and paste vector files from Illustrator into InDesign as vector files and continue editing there. This is very bad for a smooth workflow. It would be good that in the future this would be possible again simply via copy and paste.

  3. Typesetting by Prompts

    In the current technology improvements especially on Gen AI, like to integrate an option in InDesign on handling various tasks including the layout adjustments with simple customized prompts, say to move the figure to top of current page, adjust the spacing headings above and so on

  4. Request for Text Alignment Option for Interactive Forms Directly in InDesign

    Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

    I would like to request the addition of a feature that allows text alignment for interactive forms to be managed directly within InDesign, rather than having to perform this task in Adobe Acrobat.

    Currently, our workflow involves creating datasheets with centered ordering codes, which are frequently updated. Each update requires redoing the text alignment in Acrobat, adding unnecessary steps to our process. This is both time-consuming and frustrating, especially for what should be a simple text alignment adjustment.

    Having this feature integrated into InDesign would greatly improve efficiency and streamline the creation of interactive forms, saving…

  5. Generative Layout Cleanup

    One of the most onerous, time-consuming tasks I deal with as a production designer is fixing layouts from designers who don't understand paragraph styles and efficient layout (No shade! They have other things to focus on and hey… that's why my job exists!)

    I would like an AI that can recognize multiple separate type objects on a page, combine them into single text boxes with paragraph styles that control spacing.

    In the screenshots, you first see a typical "designer" layout (again, no shade) with ten separate objects with formatting for each applied on top of the default Basic Paragraph style.

  6. Include a rollover reveal of the hyperlinks in place.

    Checking hyperlinks (i.e. where a button takes you to another page in the document) is time consuming. A rollover reveal of where the hyperlink goes would save an enormous amount of time.
    This could also be an Acrobat feature - i.e. once you have exported as an interactive PDF - you can rollover and check there.

  8. Support for "TDM", "PDF/UA" and "PLUS License Data Format" in XMP-Metadata

    Missing support for "TDM", "PDF/UA" and "PLUS License Data Format" in XMP-Metadata in all Adobe apps.
    There are not data fields for "TDM" (text-and-data-mining), PDF/UA (accessibility) and "PLUS License Data Format" in the UI of all Adobe apps.
    This information can currently only be added manually by import of an XML-Snippet-File in the tab "raw-data".
    Or with InDesign scripting and the library "lib:AdobeXMPScript".

  9. Export Selected Objects to PDF.

    Hello. I need to export selected objects to PDF in Indesign as we do for PNG. This is possible in Illustrator but not in Indesign. It would be good if it could work with object styles. Export all objects in a style to PDF one by one.

    I am working for education technology. I am writing content in Indesign and after using this content to prepare different books. So I need to split each question or content.

  11. Getting calendar events into a table

    I cannot be the only person trying to do this, but have not seen a solution anywhere. I produce a monthly newsletter that has a calendar of events. I can export .ics files, make .csv files with the info formatted, but data merge doesn't seem to have a way to drop things into cells of a table.
    Would love to find a script that let's me enter the URL of the public link to a Google calendar, prompt for a date range, grab data, then populate my lovely table.
    My "manual solution" currently means using the clipboard for every event.

  12. make option to deactivate swatch sync when synchronizing paragraph/character styles

    In InDesign 19.5.:
    "Swatches synchronize when object, paragraph, or character styles are selected in the Synchronize Options dialog."

    However, working with a book document with different color shemes in each chapter, this is a huge inconvinience for me.
    I want to be able to sync my settings without syncing the colors, as they are deliberatly different in each chapter.
    This change would cause the need to make a character/paragraph/object style for each chapter, causing the number of styles to be hard to manage.
    Otherwise, I would have to change the colors after every sync or won't be able to use…

  13. Rearrange Blank Document Presets in InDesign for Custom Order

    I'd love to be able to rearrange blank document presets in InDesign.

    The four options that show on the new document popup are presets that I'll never ever have to use (Letter, Legal, Tabloid, Letter-Half).

    I'd much rather re-order the presets to show A3, A4, A5, A6 first etc.

  14. Move page and articles between documents (accessibility)

    If I design a page of my document seperately, I want to be able to move the severed page into my document, and also import the articles included in that document.
    It should be optional, like the option to keep layers intact when copying objects between documents - maybe with a setting that allows me to say "copy articles" and a checkmark I can set.

    For expample:
    Right now, if I design a complex starting page for a long document seperate from the rest of the document (for example if a colleague creates the document), I have to re-do the…

  15. Change Asset Characteristics (Color, Style, Color Space) in Adobe Libraries

    The Problem:
    When building out an icon system in Adobe Libraries, you need to save a separate icon for each color variation, style variation (we have a filled style, line style, and multi-color style), and color space (digital vs. print). For our organization, there are 3 styles, 3 color variations for each, and 2 color spaces, meaning you need 18 different versions of a single icon. For large icon libraries, this results in a massive library and poor performance (icons with too many assets start to slow down and cause crashes).

    My Idea for a Solution:
    Allow users to create…

  16. Save and Archive Comments in Share for Review

    Ability to save the comments and replies made in Share for Review as a PDF or excel file. Very similar to how you would be able to save a PDF in acrobat with comments imbedded.

  18. 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.

  19. 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…

  20. 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.
