Line Spacing in Story Editor
Seems like it would make more sense if you could edit the line spacing for the story editor as you would in any text box, rather than being locked into just a few options. For instance, someone might find it easier to read at 1.15 spacing, or want to customize for another reason.

Fully black theme
As a low vision user, I'd appreciate if there was a fully black inDesign theme. I use the darkest, but it'd be nice if there was a total black background option.

InDesign for Apple Vision Pro
Hello,
I am an Artistic Designer that uses InDesign for about 30 hours a week. I essentially live within InDesign for work. I would very much like if you would make a full fledged InDesign available within Apple's Vision Pro headset. I'm not even asking for a Spatial redesign, though it would be amazing eventually. Just support for downloading and installing the full version of InDesign without an unnecessary additional subscription or mobile friendly version. Please, this would make a huge difference to a lot of people.

Version number on splash screen?
Sometime I have more than one version of InDesign on my Windows PC, especially if the latest release is buggy. It would be very useful to have the program version number show up on the splash screen when you start the program.

UI feels outdated and cluttered
The UI still feels like it's stuck in 2000.
It is not free scalable, input fields are to small or resize.
Using the ui scale option, feels like it did just zoom in.Best example: The font size is limited to 4-5 Characters, no way to make it bigger if you want to input some simple math (19,416 Pt * 1,25).

show the name of the open file in the window name of Tabbed interface
Tabbed Interface has a Window Title that does not reflect the Document that is in Focus and being worked on. As some time tracking Apps like Rescue Time or Timely are using Window names to log time entries it would be helpful, having a more talkative window name that shows the document name of the tab that is currently in the foreground.

keep "Composite fonts" function, and let user change the interface language directly in the application.
The latest English version of InDesign 19.0 is no longer compatible with "composite fonts"...
In Asian countries, the "Composite fonts" function is quite important to most users who keep working with bilingual documents. It gives us a headache always when we need to update the application. Instead of downloading the application in different languages, why not integrate some of the languages, like merging commonly used English and Asian languages? We only need to change the interface language directly in the application, which does not hinder us from using the "Composite font" function. Isn't it better?1 vote -
Chequeado de obra
Solicito a los desarrolladores una herramienta que bien se podría llamar "Chequeado de obra". La misma consistiria en una pantalla donde cualquier diseño que tenga más de una página, pueda ser reproducido a la manera de un video. Ese "Player" debería contar velocidades ajustables para mostrar las páginas. ¿Cúal sería el beneficio?. la utilidad de esta herramienta nos permitía cotejar nuestra diagramacion de forma "espacial" donde veríamos que los elementos de cada página tengan un sentido estético a lo largo de toda la obra. Permitiría detectar "saltos" de elementos que no guarden una estética general.

Add Units selection in dialog boxes
It would be extremely helpful to have an option to switch between units in all dialog boxes where values can be entered in different units.
For instance when making a new document we have the option of selection units via a drop down menu.
Is there really any reason why this is not an option in all cases where the user can input values of certain units?
We could need it in the following dialogs:
- Document Setup
- Margins and Columns
- Create Guides
- All the Dialog boxes for setting paragraph, character object styles.
- Print Dialog

Please add "Default search scope" to the Preferences
Hi, Adobe design team!
I'm sorry to say, but NEVER IN MY LIFE have I wanted to search for something inside a single Story. It's kinda infuriating to have to switch to "Document" as the Search scope every time. Can we please have the chance to change, what is our default?
Thanks in advance!1 vote -

Restore adjustment arrows in Transform window for X/Y and W/H values
When InDesign updated to the 2024 version, I lost the ability to use the Essentials Classic layout with the Properties bar at the top instead of the right, and in the Transform window, either as part of the Properties bar or on its own, lost the up and down adjustment arrows with seemingly no way to bring them back. I prefer being able to make tiny adjustments by sixteenth increments rather than at random or just eyeballing it and this change is absolutely driving me insane. I've rolled back to the previous version for now, but I know you all…

Custom Font Menu
Please ad the ability to customize a font menu. In order, with colour across all software and the ability for it to over-ride current files with that same custom menu.
The favourites is just not as powerful at custom order and colour coding for each kind of font style.1 vote -
Remember last selected section in Preferences
Remember the last selected section in the Preferences window.
For example, if I selected File Handling then clicked OK in the Preferences window, File Handling should be selected the next time I open Preferences.
Right now it always defaults to General. While in many cases I want to use the last preferences section I used before when I open the Preferences window.

Share for Review Editing Tools
When a stakeholder is commenting on a Share for Review document, it would be great if the editing tool they used most was either sticky or became the default. Our proofer posts around 300 comments on our magazine and when he's using Share for Review, he has to select the highlighter tool each time he makes a comment. Having it be the default (or allowing it to stick once it's chosen) would making proofing much more efficient.

Add leading zeroes to single page image exports
When exporting pages to images (something we do quite a lot in comics), it helps with further batch processing to have a sufficient number of leading zeroes as part of the exported filename.
So instead of:
Page 1
Page 2
Page 99
Page 103Page 001
Page 002
Page 099
Page 103This can be a selectable feature in the user preferences or automatically generated to pad the number of leading zeroes to match the number of pages in the exported file (e.g. if there are only 93 pages in the book, only add leading zeroes to 1-9 so all…

Command Line
I think this feature would make all Adobe products so much faster, easier to use, and more efficient. Something where you could turn it off and on and type your command, or a custom alias, and immediately activate the tool or menu item you want. It could just be something you toggle in the Window menu and that could appear at the top of the screen under the upper toolbar.

Set Grid in double page documents new for every page
In double page documents, the grid overlaps the gutter, which sometimes makes it hard to use the grid on the right side, when the right side starts with half a grid box or 3/4 or whatever.
IT would be nice if you could choose between overlapping and starting the grid from zero at the page on the right side.
It would also be VERY helpful if you could turn the visibility of the grid off outside of the pages because all the lines make the view so "noisy".
AND it would be helpfull to be able to adjust the transparency…1 vote
