字取り機能の改善リクエスト (improvement to "jidori" feature request)
日本語版独自の「字取り」機能で設定できるのは「文字数」に限られているため、不便な場面が多いです。
文字数以外の設定はテキストフレーム/フレームグリッドに関わらずフレームグリッド設定に依存します。これを知らずに「字取り」を使いこなせていないユーザーも多いです。添付画像 1 に示したのは、私が不便だと感じたケースの全てです。そして（ ）の中には私の仕事での主な使い道です。
本文とはサイズの異なる文字（見出し段落に字取りを用いる場合が多い）
字間の広げられたフレームでの挙動（おまけ）
ストーリー内に配置された、文字サイズの異なる表（一般に表の文字サイズは本文より小さい場合が多い）私はこれらの問題を、アンカー付きオブジェクトを挿入、
あるいは「字取り」を用いずに、
ホワイトスペースを挿入、トラッキングで調節、文字前後のアキ設定
などで代用しています。
つまり、とても不便なのです。今回、代案を考えてみました。なかなかの時間をかけました。
皆さんの賛同が欲しいです。添付画像 2 は文字パネルのスクリーンショットです。
従来のグラフィカルなコントロールを廃止し、フライアウトメニューに格納することで、より詳細な設定を可能にすることを提案します。
これは「縦中横」や「割注」、あるいは「下線」や「打ち消し線」と同様に扱うこととします。添付画像 3 は設定ダイアログのアイディアです。
まず先頭に、他の機能と同じようなチェックボックス。
これで「字取り」をオン/オフします。
次に、ラジオボタンで
1 文字サイズ、字数、字間 の３要素で設定、
2 字取りの幅（縦組み時は高さ）をダイレクトに設定
を選択します。いかがでしょうか。
少しの難点は、下位バージョンのアプリと互換性が全くないことです。
しかし、いいと思いませんか？––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
in poor englishjidori feature improvement request
The "Jidori" function unique to the Japanese version can only be set to "character count," which is inconvenient in many situations.
Settings other than the number of characters depend on the frame grid settings regardless of the text frame/frame grid. Many users are unaware of this and are not able to use the "Jidori" function well.…

Indesign CJK Version Request : Standard Vertical Roman Alignment
Please add the simple feature of standard vertical roman alignment in adobe indesign CJK version as well.
In all the other versions of Indesign, and also in other basic applications like the photoshop or illustrator, there is an option to vertically align roman alphabets. However, in the CJK version, the vertical writing tool only provides the option to typeset the roman alphabets and numbers in a 90 degree rotated way.
If I wanted to write them vertically without having to rotate it, I have to manually do so in Character settings, but that is not a good option since the…

Indesign 2024 not working with window-snapping apps
I recently upgraded to InDesign 2024. I use BetterSnapTool to arrange my app-windows in order to have a efficient and practical workflow. But InDesign 2024 does not work with BetterSnapTool (BST) or any other window-snapping apps due to this reason I received from the BST support:
"Unfortunately all window manager apps on macOS are affected by this, Adobe has broken their window resizing behavior in their recent updates. Their products do not respond correctly to window resizing requests using the macOS Accessibility API anymore. As of now I don't think there is anything I can do to fix this. If…3 votes -
UX improvement: When changing color on selected Text Fields, Text Color should be changed over textfields background color
It happens so often that I select a textfield, quickly pick a color from the color swatches and the entire text field gets a background color - although I obviously wanted to change the text color.
I have to manually go in and switch from text field background color to font color. I think this could be avoided.1 vote -
Highlight Box Behind Text
This is so commonly used in design, that it even exists in Adobe Express, yet for some reason has never been introduced to InDesign. Instead we have had to create underlines and adjust them, which then needs to be adjusted every time font size is changed.
I imagine this is not a difficult thing to introduce, and it would be a huge help to so many people within publication design

Support ODT files
ODT files are used by open source software Libre Office who inherited from both Open Office and Neo Office. It's used by Microsoft users, Apple Users and Linux users. Since it's open source software, it's 100% free. It allows for the same sort of features that Microsoft does as much as Google Docs does similarly.
Google currently does support ODT files. (see Screenshot) Shouldn't Adobe follow suit and do the same? Every other program does, so why not Adobe?
InDesign needs to support ODT files for the following reasons:
1. LIbre Office is Free.Adobe costs a lot of money…

Paragraph style — Bullets Same as text Color option
When creating a bullet style in paragraph styles, could there be an option to have the bullet character the same color as the text color?
Similar to the paragraph rule options.
I know create character styles for this, and it is still a good feature, but you need to create multiple bullet styles if your page has a dark background.
I hope my explanation makes sense.

Preferences Search
It would be very handy if we could search the InDesign preferences. Sometimes it's not easy to remember which section a particular preference setting is under, so it would be great to be able to do a search for, say 'Default View', which is under 'Display Performance'.
Surely this wouldn't be too difficult a feature to bring into InDesign (and other Adobe apps)?

Overall project file contains different documents
It would be good to have the ability to combine several individual InDesign docs into one project file. So when the project is opened all docs are shown as separate tabs. Quark Express did this with 'Jackets' or something like that. This would tidy up job folders and maybe speed up the 'collect for output' stage if InDesign did them all at once rather than have to do individually with several fonts and images folders

Different layers for each page in a document
Each page in a document can have different layers. When producing artwork for personalised print items (like mailers) it would be good for each version (page) to have it's own variable layers to avoid having lots of layers that could lead to data being omitted if layer turned off

set width of a real gap between columns in a table
Setting a column/cell stroke to "paper" does not make a real gap between columns, when the table is on a colored background.
Please add a "gap width between columns" to your table/cell formatting.

Indesign should be fully compatible with Powerpoint
Clients are demanding more and more presentations made on Powerpoint than reports made in Indesign. Sometimes, even reports made in Powerpoint. Designers like me are spending much more time nowadays on Powerpoint than Indesign.
Adobe will lose those designers.
Indesign must be fully compatible with PowerPoint.

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.
