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

Adding new layers to a PSD shouldn’t reset all instances
I really hate it when I’m working with a layered PSD file in InDesign where I have different layers of the image turned on and off throughout a layout and then if I edit the PSD and add any new layers, when I come back to InDesign, instead of just updating the layers that were turned on, it resets every instance of that PSD and I have to manually go and turn all of the specific layers back on/off for each instance. Why can’t it be smart enough to keep the layers on that were on and just update like…

so I think it will be great if you could add this feature that allowing to choose the option of one word.
also in the same subject, Indesign styling the drop cap by it self, its not letting you to change the size of the drop cap. so if you could add this one it will great for all the pepolr whom editing books in hebrew.1 vote -
Preview Checkbox for Polygon Tool
I'd love to see a preview checkbox added to the Polygon Tool.
When you click on your artboard with the Polygon Tool selected, some options come up to make adjustments to the shape. It's difficult to know how your changes to these settings is adjusting the resulting shape without a preview tool.

Document resizing without layout adjust
For me, the "feature" Adjust layout is always seemingly active when I change the document size, even though I have turned it off (or rather, never turned it on); my content elements move around on the screen when I change the document size. Which has always annoyed me.
However, today I found an explanation, at least in part. It's only the elements that are placed outside the document area, on the pasteboard, that jump around. And they do so in relation to the pasteboard. Anything placed on the document area, wholly or in part, stays where it should be.
So,…

Stop snapping to pixel or give us option to disable
Give us the option to not snap to pixel when the ruler is set to measure in pixels.
Fine to snap to pixels when drawing boxes and lines. But completely useless for text and anything with a curve.

Generative Layout Cleanup
One of the most onerous, time-consuming tasks I deal with as a production designer is fixing layouts from designers who don't understand paragraph styles and efficient layout (No shade! They have other things to focus on and hey… that's why my job exists!)
I would like an AI that can recognize multiple separate type objects on a page, combine them into single text boxes with paragraph styles that control spacing.
In the screenshots, you first see a typical "designer" layout (again, no shade) with ten separate objects with formatting for each applied on top of the default Basic Paragraph style.

clipping path select subject
Detect edges is way out of date. This should/could be replaced with the same sort of programing that the current Text runaround tool uses (select subject) this would give designers a ton more speed to get designs done rather than needing to go back and forth to Photoshop to create clipping paths. Currently want this mostly for the mock up stage of my design files but if the paths are good enough i don't see why they couldn't wind up being used in final production. This would save loads of time... Especially if it was object aware and could create…

Automatic generation of business card qr-code by text content of business card/text boxes
It is very tedious to copy-paste text into the text boxes for qr-code generation. Especially for business cards.
It would be great if this can function automatically, e.g. by text from the previous page or by text that can be specified.1 vote -
Automatic Photo Collage Creation Tool
I would like Adobe InDesign to include a feature that allows users to automatically create a photo collage. The process would involve the user drawing a content box on the page or layout, defining the area where the collage should be placed. After selecting the photos they want to include in the collage, there would be an option to generate a collage layout using AI. The tool would intelligently arrange the selected images to fit within the content box, creating a well-balanced, visually appealing collage in just a few clicks. This feature would save significant time and effort when creating…

Check Icon Effects Rapid ON/OFF
I find this very frustrating every time.
I would like to be able to activate/deactivate an effect by clicking on the check icon.- clicking on the check activates and deactivates the effect (on/off)
- clicking on the name of the effect on the right should open the corresponding panel (as it already works now)
Often to deactivate an effect I have to enter the panel to deactivate the check, this would be fine when I have to set the parameters but if I simply have to deactivate the effect I have to open a second panel that could be avoided.
I…

Image to Text - Save images
Currently there is no direct way to download and save an image created by using the AI "Image to Text" tool. The document has to be packaged and then the images used will be saved in that package. However, it would be great if there was a "download or save" option in the drop-down menu of each image you've chosen to use - this way you can name it and save it directly to a suitable folder for later use.

AI feature: create a layout from some example images
It would be great if InDesign could create multi-page layouts from a few example images. For example, you've already designed a page, and it would take that and use the pattern & style of it to make more pages and layout variants in the same style. Or you can upload a reference picture to do the same.

Paste items on multiple layers at once
It would really speed up my workflow if I had the option of selecting a number of layers and be able to ‘Past in place’ on all of them at the same time. I often have to change country ratings (esp. PEGI) on my projects and it would be great if I could select 7-8 layers at a time and switch them out together. Clients also require third-party logos and legal lines to be added and it would really speed up my routines.
