  2. Incorporate a feature in the view dropdown that lists all the languages used within a document

    I work with documents from an international company and even though the document looks like English it can use several different languages. I need to identify those languages and change them to English USA. A dropdown option that lists all the languages used within the same document would be incredibly helpful. As of now I have to use the find / replace tool to guess what languages may be used and replace them. Sometimes it can be upwards of five different languages.

  3. Allow InDesign files on Adobe Cloud Services accessible to InDesign Cross-Referencing feature

    InDesign doesn't allow InDesign files stored on Adobe's cloud system to utilize its powerful cross-reference feature. All the files must be kept on the local drive in order to utilize cross referencing. Adobe is encouraging us to store all our files in their cloud system (formerly CC), but doing so removes the possibility from cross-referencing information or even cross-referencing page numbers in a table of contents in Long Document multi file projects like books.

    Adobe support says "I would like to inform you that you may not cross references with the other InDesign cloud document , how ever we are…

  4. Proposal for Native Persian Language Engine in Adobe InDesign

    Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

    I hope this message finds you well.
    As a long-time user of Adobe InDesign in the publishing and design industry in Iran, I would like to bring to your attention a significant challenge that many Persian-speaking designers and publishers face when using this powerful software.

    Adobe InDesign has become the cornerstone of layout and design for books, newspapers, and magazines in Iran. However, despite the availability of the Middle Eastern (ME) version of InDesign, Persian is not natively supported. Instead, the software relies on Arabic language support, which leads to a range of issues due to…

  6. Remove tips, Add an option to turn on/off tutorial mode

    Remove tips, Add an option to turn on/off tutorial mode.

    InDesign and other adobe apps constantly tell me things that I know about. This is helpful for new users, but annoying for professionals. InDesign is the industry standard and should cater to professionals while having a beginner or tutorial mode for those who are new to it.

    It is unacceptable to open a window and show it to me while im working. Multiple times i've pressed ctrl z which brings up a window that says DID YOU KNOW ABOUT DOCUMENT HISTORY. Its not helpful for me personally.

  8. Auto-size new option

    It would also be useful for an anchored object to be able to set Auto-size to the width of the container object (e.g., in percentage), in a way similar to what is possible with CSS.

  9. Text Frame new options

    It would be interesting if, in the Text Frame Options, there were an option to set a maximum size for both height and width. Thanks

  10. Merge paragraph styles to be able to use the functions of two styles at the same time

    create a way that the attributes of one paragraph style can be applied to another paragraph style, so that a style that has certain attributes can be used in conjunction with other styles, thus avoiding the creation of multiple 'equal' paragraph styles just because at a certain point in the publication it has to have some difference.

  12. Display effective ppi and actual ppi of selected image at the Control panel

    I'd like to see the effective ppi and actual ppi of an image displayed at the Control panel for easy of use. It's a very important information for me as I routinelly place several images on our publications and it's really cumbersome to have to open the Links panel or the Info panel just to check an image resolution while there's plentiful of unused space at the Control panel where this information could sit.

  13. LINKED TEXT BOXES - SEPARATE CONTENT FROM STYLES FORMATTING

    CONTENT NEEDS TO FLOW THROUGH LINKED TEXT BOXES AS THE BOXES ARE RESIZED, OR CONTENT IS EDITED. EACH LINKED TEXT BOX SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A STYLE APPLIED TO THE BOX. RIGHT NOW I HAVE TO SELECT THE TEXT AND APPLY FORMATTING. BUT IF THE CONTENT FLOWS DIFFERENTLY, THIS HAS TO BE RE-DONE. PLEASE MAKE IT SO THAT WE CAN CLICK ON A TEXT BOX AND CHANGE THE STYLE JUST FOR THE TEXT BOX, AND WHATEVER CONTENT HAPPENS TO FLOW INTO IT. CASES WHERE THIS MAKES A LOT OF SENSE: YOU MIGHT HAVE CONTENT FLOWING ONTO DIFFERENT COLORED BACKGROUNDS…

  14. Import images linked locally to creative cloud library from within any CC app

    Currently if I want to use a new asset that I've downloaded or saved to desktop the process looks like this:

    1. Navigate to CC desktop app
    2. Navigate to existing CC library or create a new one
    3. Drag and drop assets from desktop into library
    4. Go to InDesign (or whichever app)
    5. Navigate to appropriate library
    6. Drag asset from library to working document

    What I'd like is:

    1. Place item from desktop in document
    2. Select the asset in the Links panel
    3. Click "import to current library"
    4. Asset is imported directly to the library and the link is automatically updated to the library version…

  16. InDesign Hyperlink Formatting

    Hyperlinks are usually https:// rather than http://
    Most browsers give you dire warnings for http.
    Of course a properly configured web server should send you over to https, but not all are.

    HJyperlinks don't need to be underlined by default anymore. That is so 1990's.

  18. ツールの互換性について

    Compatibility between InDesign and Illustrator, with the same specifications and usable features as Illustrator, such as text boxes and point characters, object appearance features, etc., and with grouped objects from the CC library also remaining editable from Illustrator. Please allow copy-paste from Illustrator to InDesign with grouped objects from the CC library still editable.

  20. Remove the floating "help with a feature items"

    I wanted to share some feedback regarding a recent usability issue I’ve experienced across several Creative Cloud applications, including Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and Acrobat.

    In recent updates, each of these programs has introduced tool-specific pop-up panels or hints that appear when a tool is selected. While I understand the intent is to offer helpful tips or highlight features, these pop-ups are consistently disruptive to my workflow. They frequently appear directly over the content I'm working on and are difficult to reposition. Even when I move them off the canvas, they often reset to their original (obstructive) location whenever I switch…
