Native AI support.
Using links within AI to keep source files small is useless if INDD is a part of the workflow because INDD will not place AI files unless PDF compatibility is turned on. Turning on PDF compatibility in AI when saving embeds all links so linking files instead of embedding them makes no difference.
Please make INDD able to place AI files that have not been saved with PDF compatibility turned on.

InCopy on the web to all language versions
Can you please stop with making features available in English version only. Those of us who work in an international environment or organization needs feature parity, and in this day and age, where AI takes care of 99% of translation and testing it cant't be that hard.
We pay for InDesign and expect to not be discriminated.

Redesign UserVoice forum
In this sad, poorly designed forum, if you click an attached image, then click back to the forum, the idea you viewed disappears and a different idea is presented.
When you attempt to post an idea, your email appears as the idea title.
Which makes it unclear where to place the title and where the content of the post. In the end, your feedback is posted with your email as the title, and thus has to be deleted and reposted.
Please redesign it.

Add an option to disable the downloading or saving of embedded videos
Please include an option to disable the downloading or saving of embedded videos in Adobe InDesign documents. This feature would be extremely useful for designers, publishers, and businesses that distribute interactive PDFs or digital publications containing licensed or proprietary video content. Currently, users who receive these documents may be able to extract or save embedded media files, which can create copyright, security, and content protection concerns.
Adding a setting that allows creators to restrict video downloading while still permitting playback inside the document would help protect intellectual property and give publishers more control over how their media is shared. It…

Add icon for Adobe Fonts to Find/Replace and Preflight panels
It would be helpful if you showed the Adobe Font Cloud icon next to the font name in both the Find/Replace and the Preflight panels. There have been several times when someone has used a non-Adobe font, and I don't see that the font has dropped until a PDF has been exported and compressed. Our printer only supports Adobe Fonts; however, there is currently no system for people to verify at a glance, and checking every font in large documents is extremely time-consuming.

InDesign Import and Export
It would be most helpful to me since I design books, tear-sheets, posters, newsletter that are made fore print and are shown on the web too. Import - When we have a form in PDF format that is asked to be shown, instead of placing it directly into InDesign file it doesn't work, we need to place JPGS instead. Exporting these products that are for print as web format SVG is impossible! Web service requires SVG for catalogue, everything I make can be deigned in Illustrator but arranged in InDesign, but if I export as EPS then open it into…

How do I remove first-line indent for only the first paragraph?
Hi everyone,Escape Tsunami for Brainrots
I’m struggling with a formatting issue and can’t seem to fix it.
I want the first paragraph to have no indent, but all following paragraphs to keep the standard indentation (like in professional manuscripts or books).
I’ve tried:
Edit Format → Settings → Paragraph first line indents
Options like “Remove from first paragraph and after empty lines”
Different compile settingsBut nothing seems to work, even after changing styles.

Indesign .RTF or .DOCX exporter
If Adobe are so keen to help with sharing and workflows why have they failed to add a decent way of exporting to Rich text Files or .DOCX from Indesign?
I propose an adobe RTF /DOCX exporter that ships with Indesign.
Currently we have to rely on a third party product or a script to do this. It seems ridiculous to have to pay for software that is keen for AI to fill in the gaps but miss out on something as basic as this.
If anyone who has to re-assemble a document format PDF export knows what a nightmare…

Home screen - Please put your creative hats on and re-design for functionality
I love and hate the Home Screen. I would really like to see Adobe really think through the reason for this screen's existence. The simple fact that you cannot reorder, delete, or organize the list is limiting. The additional fact is that, in some recent updates, the hover to see the "path" is no longer available.
Bottom line: this is valuable real estate that is going to waste or cause more frustration than it's worth because it feels more like an afterthought than a conscious UX/UI decision.
You guys are awesome creatives, and I know there are tons of things…1 vote -

Grids in Document setting
Grids do not belong to the app settings. Should be part of document settings.
Rework Styles/Settings.
In Styles, the tabs are not logical.
How is Language and 'Advanced Character Format'?
Why is 'Align to Grid' part of 'Indents and Spacing'?
Lots of work to do there.1 vote -

DATA MERGE - Multiple or Single Page Import from Ai or PDF
I would like to be able to import multiple artboards or pages from an Illustrator file or PDF document when using Data Merge.
For example:
Column K
@Images
R:\Customer\SALES ORDERS\SOnumber\Working\01-0001.ai:1 ( Design to be printed in Artboard 1 )Column L
@Images
R:\Customer\SALES ORDERS\SOnumber\Working\01-0001.ai:2 ( Spot colours listed in Artboard 2 )I use Data Merge for creating Prepress proofs for large orders, and we have to show the design to be printed and the spot colours used on each document.
The issue is that InDesign won't list the colours used per page only per document, so my solution is…

Adding Uzbek spell checking / hyphenation
Hi, InDesign team! I'm coming from Uzbekistan, we build various NLP solutions for Uzbek (spoken by 40 mln people around the world). Recently we made an add-in for InDesign that handles hyphenation and spell checking for Uzbek. However, it's still an add-in, so we have to update its versions over time – we wonder if it's possible to add this feature to InDesign itself so this language will be native in newer InDesign versions.
We're open for any type of collaboration, we'd be very glad if you add our language into the program, we can provide all resources and models…

Support for CMYKOGV (eg. FOGRA 55)
Certification was completed back in 2021 after conclusion of a FOGRA research project. The color exchange profile (ICC) can be downloaded from the FOGRA website.
In essence expanded (or extended, varies by publication) color gamut offset printing is the idea of increasing the color space of CMYK using 3 additional colors (orange, green, violet).
CMYKOGV as characterized by FOGRA 55 is proofable using Epson SureColor printers (P7570, P9570).
I have seen several printers already offering 7c offset print. These days it's basically to cut down on cost (to achieve almost complete Pantone coverage without having to resort to actually spot…

Create a tool called Work Checker.
I propose that the developers create a tool called "Work Checker." This tool would feature a screen where any design with multiple pages could be presented like a video. The "Player" should offer adjustable speeds to navigate through the pages. What would the benefit be?
This tool would allow us to compare our layouts in a "spatial" way, making it easier to ensure that the elements on each page maintain aesthetic coherence throughout the entire piece. It would also help identify any "jumps" in elements that disrupt the overall design aesthetic.
