  1. Find/Change text in Index entries too

    I find it amazing that we have been relegated to using fancy scripts to perform what should be a simple find and replace.
    Currently (as far as I know) search and change (aka Find and Replace) has no means to affect an index and its entries. There are scripts that try and address this shortcoming, but why? This is a simple and basic function. Correction, should be a simple and basic function.

  2. Don't prioritize line breaks after end brackets ] }

    Newer versions of InDesign identify the position immediately after a bracket -- ] or } -- as a high-priority for a new line. Earlier verions did not.
    1. For us, that's a big problem because we use some fonts on which a different image is at this location, and it must connect with the one that follows. We never want a new line to start here. (The nonjoiner character fixes this, but it would be far easier if it didn't happen at all.)
    2. Most of the time, when these characters are used as bracket, there will be a space…

  6. artificial intelligence for text

    Wouldn't it be a nice idea to have InDesign apply some artificial intelligence for looking at the text? Like what ChatGPT can do, but then integrated into InDesign. Checking the complexity, readability, Colorcontrast, tone-of-voice etc of your text. Would love to see that. Or suggestions on how to solve readability-issues for accessible PDF! Yeah!

  7. intelligent swatches for type

    When changing selection from object to text frame swatches should change to the text itself intead of the text box.
    I always accidentially fill the text box with colour first instead of the text. I think, users want to change the text colour a lot more often than the colour of the text box.

  8. Keep text box attributes when creating outlines.

    When creating outlines for text, InDesign should separate out the text box and turn that into an object with the same parameters that were initially set. So, if I have white text in a black box with a yellow stroke, the black box with yellow stroke should remain in the layout when selecting "Create Outlines". Right now the box disappears.

  10. Please add Document First Page Number and Document Page Range to Text Variables

    I'm doing a layout for a scientific journal, and each article is in a separate file. The articles are then combined into a book. An important piece of information is the page range, which is part of the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) used by scientists to search. Additional text variables like Document Start Page and Document Page Range are much needed. The last variable requires separator formatting between numbers (e.g. 35-70 or 35…70)

  12. Spell Check to start from selected text or text box

    The ability to Spell Check to start from selected text or text box would be a real time saver.

    Maybe add an on/off toggle to see spelling errors when needed.

    I'm a horrible speller and sometimes just want to check what I just wrote not the entire document. I end up copying and pasting into Google which these days really confuses the (Artificial Intelligence).

    Please consider this for Illustrator too.

    Thank you.

  13. Ability to change text from a dialog box like Corel Draw

    I use Corel Draw from time to time and when I need to edit a string of text it lets me edit it from a dialog box instead of only on the page so I do not have to zoom up on any text strings to edit them. Can this be done for InDesign and Illustrator as well.

  14. Can we please remove all the question marks from InDesign placeholder text?

    All of the question marks in placeholder text are an unrealistic representation of typical body copy. I end up having to remove them all when developing layout comps. Not a big deal, but annoying.

  15. Indesign 2024

    To the developers:

    I am in charge of a newspaper in the north of Spain, ALERTA. I am considering whether to switch to the new InDesign 2024 following the information from the presentation meeting your company held. It has taken me time to adapt our catalog to your new policy on Type 1 fonts. Once this issue was resolved, and I was able to look at the new features of the new version, I found that some of the things said in that presentation are either false or not entirely true to reality. That story about the new paragraph styles…

  16. Serbian language

    Hello, on behalf of all the page layout designers from Serbia, I am asking you to include support for the Serbian language in a future version of Indesign. We use both Cyrillic and Latin letters equally, so this option would mean a lot to us.
    Thank you!

  17. copa airlines baggage fees

    Copa Airlines commonly includes a complimentary checked baggage allowance with your ticket, varying based on factors such as travel class and destination. Should you exceed this allowance or require additional checked bags, fees may apply. It's crucial to check Copa Airlines' official website or contact the airline directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information on checked baggage fees. https://baggagebee.com/blog/copa-airlines-baggage-allowance/

  18. AI Translation in future InDesign

    Adobe Express now has built-in AI translation services for their product. Why is this not available in InDesign?

    I'm not expecting 100% accuracy, we have translators to proof results, but this would be so much more efficient as a first-pass instead of exporting IDML to send to a service or through Trados software.

  19. AI assisted paragraph´s hyphenation and justification

    could Indesign suggest different H&J options for the selected paragraph so the designer could choose the best suited, among available options?

    Artificial Intelligence offers 3 options to choose in Photoshop.
    Could we have 3 AI assisted h&j options to choose from?

  20. Allow the continuity of footnotes according to pages and not blocks OR chaining anchored text blocks ?!

    I use anchored boxes which (unfortunately) contain notes.
    The numbering of the notes resumes as if it were the start of another document, that is to say at 1.
    I would like it to be possible for these note numbers to follow the previous ones and for the following ones to take them into account:
    note 1 in the text – anchored box with note which should be 2 (and not 1) – note which should be 3 in the text (but which will be 2…). Aaaargh…
    Perhaps a numbering option like in the paragraph styles/Bullets and numbering options where…
