  1. Preference to Disable the Contextual Menues (annoying pop ups), legg issue

    1. Preference to DISABLE the Contextual Menues! Pros don’t need spam like tutorials poppig up while working, it’s annoying and awful disturb the concentration while the work, disturb also the speed of the program. Please.
    2. Option (On-Off) to disable Ai function, which is probably a big part of the reason for the program leggs. There are still a lot of people which don’t need it and don’t want to get it like spam.

  3. Make the tools in the toolbox customizable so we can rearrange the tool layout

    Make the tools in the toolbox customizable so we can rearrange the tool layout like you can in Photoshop. I'd like to simply be able to arrange the tools in a way that benefits my workflow and hide some tools I rarely (or never) use. This is basic functionality, such an obvious feature — and it's so annoying that it is not available.

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  6. 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…

  7. 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…

  8. 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…

  12. 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?

  13. 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.

  18. 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.

  20. 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
