1. A context-sensitive search function for Paragraph Styles

   When all I need to see is one instance of a style, with no particular text string specified, It would be great to be able to right-click on a paragraph style in the style menu and simply choose "Find Style" rather than having to open the FIND/CHANGE menu, clear it of any previous entries, and fill in all the new parameters before I can make that one simple search.

   EXAMPLE: My client composes her business books in Word and often uses up to nine or 10 "Headings." I just want to see an instance of them so I can get an idea of their appearance and a sense of how they've been used. It is a hassle to go back and forth to the FIND/CHANGE dialogue for every single "heading" style used when all I want is a quick look. It would be much easier just to right-click on a style in the paragraph palette, fully understanding it has limitations and is mainly just for looking, not changing, etc.

   If I only had one or two instances like this in the document, it wouldn't be so bad, but with a book-length business book with many headings, it is cumbersome and a little maddening to have to keep going back and forth with the FIND/CHANGE menu.

2. InDesign 2026 - PDF Export Generates Abnormal File Size

   After updating to InDesign 2026, exporting PDF files results in drastically larger file sizes compared to previous versions (e.g., from 6 MB to 50 MB) with the exact same content.

   The issue persists even when:

   The "Smallest File Size" preset is used.

   The Compression settings (downsampling) have been verified and correctly set to 72 ppi.

   This appears to be a regression bug introduced in version 2026 that either ignores or poorly handles compression settings or the management of vector/transparency elements during export.

3. Is there a way to make “long text variables” wrap automatically?

   Is there a way to make “long text variables” wrap automatically?
   Sometimes I encounter very long chapter titles, and when using variable headers, they don't wrap automatically. Is there a good solution for this?

   Currently, all the text is crammed into a single line.

4. Conditional Vertical Justification

   Add a new option to the Vertical Justification settings for text frames: "Conditional Justify".
   Behavior

   When Conditional Justify is selected, vertical justification is applied only when the text frame is sufficiently filled.
   Add a numeric field: Content fill threshold (%).
       If the frame’s text occupies a percentage equal to or greater than this threshold, the frame receives full vertical justification.
       If the frame’s fill is below this threshold, the frame uses the chosen fallback alignment.
   

   Fallback option

   Provide a dropdown: Fallback alignment with the classic vertical choices: Top, Center, Bottom.
   

   Notes / Suggested defaults

   Default Content fill threshold: 90% (editable).
   Default Fallback alignment: Top.
   Show a small live preview or indicator in the Text Frame Options dialog that displays the current frame’s content fill percentage.
   

   Rationale (brief)

   This lets designers apply full vertical justification only when a frame is nearly full, avoiding awkward spacing in partially filled frames while maintaining consistent alignment when content is dense.
   Additional conditions may be added later (e.g., minimum/maximum number of paragraphs, presence of headings, or specific glyph counts).

5. QR Code Indesign - Business Tittle

   Hi there, I was happy to create a QR Code in InDesign, but I encountered 2 issues:

   1. The Title doesn't display above the name in the .vcf file. Instead displays the email which you can find later below in the email section. Can anyone help me in How can this be fixed?

   2. There is no option to include a Logo. It would be great to have this option.

6. Right-click "remove hyperlink"

   Why can't Adobe do this yet? It is 2025 for God's sake. Removing a hyperlink is a multi-step process. It should be a simple right click. And I am talking about the actual hyperlink, not the character style. I already have a script that will remove unwanted styles with no active hyperlink beneath them. I just want a FAST, EASY way to remove unwanted hyperlinks that clients ALWAYS seem to insert, even though they know they don't want them included.

7. custom page numbering

   When you want to number the pages differently than the standard correlative, for example with a date system, weekly, monthly... There is no automatic option for the pages to be numbered by day of the week. If in addition to the options 1, 2, 3... 01, 02, 03... a, b, c... i, ii, iii... you add a "custom" with a popup to a list of... for example 20 custom fields (for months, weeks, work groups, jobs...) would be perfect.

8. Auto delete imported remarks after accepting them

   When importing a pdf with remark/correctionss , its impossible to delete multiple remarks after accepting them. It would be great to have an option that deletes the remark after accepting it. I often have 700 pages books with 3000+ remarks. Indesign becomes soooo slow.

9. Convert Page Guides to Spread Guides

   I would like to suggest a small but highly useful improvement for a future update of InDesign.

   Currently, when guides are placed within a single page, there is no built-in way to convert them into spread guides (guides that span across the entire spread), unless they are re-created manually while holding Ctrl/Cmd during placement. This becomes especially frustrating when a layout contains a large number of precisely positioned guides that need to be extended to the full spread — for example, after a reorganization of pages or when switching from single-page to spread layout.

   Feature suggestion:
   Please consider adding an option to convert selected page guides into spread guides directly — either via right-click context menu (Convert to Spread Guide) or through a menu item under Layout > Guides.

   This small addition would greatly improve workflow efficiency and reduce repetitive manual adjustments in guide-heavy documents, particularly for designers working on magazines, catalogs, or editorial layouts.

   Thank you for your continued development of InDesign and for listening to user feedback.

   Kind regards

10. Add Ligature on/off button to the available space for the character type panel

    Due to the recent update (June 2025), there is now an open space for another button on the character style in the Control Panel. The design with the additional space is throwing me off when clicking on Superscript. Adding a button for turning Ligatures on and off would absolutely make life easier. Right now you can turn on/off in character and paragraph style panels, or you have to go to the drop down Menu in the Character panel.

11. Support for webp format when exporting to epub

    1. InDesign currently supports the WebP format.
    2. ePub 3.0 supports WebP Therefore, it would be beneficial if, when exporting to ePub, the image retains its original format and does not convert it to JPEG or PNG format. This ensures that the quality of the images used in the eBook remains high while maintaining a low file size.

13. Add custom labels to page thumbnails in the Pages panel

    As someone who regularly works with large, multi-page InDesign documents - especially project-based packages - I’d love to see the ability to assign custom labels or names to individual pages in the Pages panel.

    Currently, when I need to go back and edit a specific project page in a large qualifications package, it’s difficult and time-consuming to locate the right page. Using only numerical page numbers doesn’t give me the context I need, especially when each page represents a different project.

    While section markers and visible labels on the page help somewhat, these don’t make navigation faster within the Pages panel. What would really help is the ability to:

    • Add custom labels (e.g., "Project Name, Client Grouping") next to or beneath page thumbnails in the Pages panel

    • Use those labels to search, sort, or jump to specific pages more easily

    • Keep things organized when working with 50+ pages of unique but visually similar content

    This feature would make InDesign much more efficient for designers managing complex documents — especially in architecture, marketing, publishing, and design studios.

17. Have the option to use IMAGES for Paragraph: RULES, BORDERS, and SHADING

    Paragraph Rules, Borders, and Shading are all great. They are also all: flat, uniform...boring...

    Sometimes a layout demands stuff that is more...messy. Clients often ask for 'grungy' effects to highlight specific parts of text, and every designer gets what they mean.

    I currently use an anchored image to achieve this, but it's fiddly, and easily broken. It requires scripting or tedious CandP.

    Adding an IMAGE option to Paragraph (and Character?) styles would be brilliant. When I'm working on webpages, I'm using 'background' in CSS all the time.

    https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background.php

    That same flexibility in InDesign (image link, position, size, 9-slicing{?!!}, color modes, etc etc) would transform the print/pdf workflow immensely.

18. Dynamic Data Merge Updates in InDesign even after Generated

    Currently, after completing a data merge, the generated document loses its link to the source Excel/CSV file, making it impossible to update content (like product names or prices) without re-running the entire merge. This becomes a major issue when we've manually added custom pages, layout tweaks, image adjustments, or element placements based on text length—re-merging resets everything.

    Suggestion:
    Introduce a "Dynamic Merge" option in the Data Merge panel that maintains live links to the CSV/Excel source. This way, users can choose between a static or dynamic output. With dynamic mode, merged fields remain linked and identifiable, allowing easy content updates from the original data file without losing layout changes.

    This would save huge amounts of time and prevent repetitive layout work.

    Thanks!
