  1. MathML Fonts Configure and CMYK color Usage

    Hello Experts,

    I have an doubt on how to configure the Math job fonts (e.g., STIX General and Mathmatical PI and Symbol fonts etc.,) to new feature MathML.

    The most of the Books and Journals are typeset in base Job fonts, please guide me how to configure the fonts in MathML new feature and also is it possible to apply the CMYK color?

  2. Vertical Type

    Please add a Vertical Type tool like the one that is in Illustrator and Photoshop. The method of typing each letter on a line and returning after each is fine, but more time-consuming than it needs to be. The other method, using Type on a Path with a straight line and the stair step effect, does not produce aligned text.

  3. find pasted graphics

    Have a way to search for pasted graphics and to export them to be able to link them. I would like preflight to identify and let me know if the document contains pasted graphics. And, it would be great to export the graphic and link it.

  4. Make new features available in all language versions of InDesign.

    So, today InDesign 20.3 was released, including among other things the feature of converting PDF files to InDesign files, a feature that has previously been available in beta versions.

    Now, for some unknown reason the feature is available only in English language versions of InDesign, which follows previous examples, where things as Style packs also doesn't seem to make it into other language versions.

    My simple feature request is to stop this discrimination and make these features available across the board. There can be no logical reason why things as PDF conversion should be available only in English versions.

  5. Allow Share for Review Comments to be Printed or Exported

    I can't believe you can't print or export comments created during a Shared Review. I had a reviewer ask for her comments to keep as a record for the next round of document updates and there is NO FEATURE in the browser, or InDesign that will allow those comments to be printed, PDF'd, or exported (so I could import them into a PDF for permanent archival).

    This is a HUGE missing feature.

    My company archives all comments from InDesign's Share for Review and in some cases I've had them disappear entirely.

    Adding the ability to print those comments to a…

  6. Add AI-Powered Natural Language Processing (NLP) Engine for InDesign with Full Persian Language Support

    InDesign is a powerful tool for multilingual publishing, but it still lacks smart support for right-to-left languages like Persian (Farsi).
    We propose integrating an AI-powered Natural Language Processing (NLP) engine—especially with Persian language capabilities—to help automate and enhance the typesetting process.
    🔍 Key Features this engine could offer:
    Automatic detection and correction of text language (Arabic → Persian).
    Intelligent number conversion (Arabic, Persian, or Latin based on text context).
    Auto-insertion of half-spaces (نیم‌فاصله) where appropriate.
    Smart paragraph and character styling suggestions based on content type.
    AI-based proofreading and grammar suggestions.
    Content-aware layout and reflow recommendations.
    Summarization and auto-captioning tools.
    💡…

  7. A better, user friendly, way to create fractions

    There should be an easier way to create a fraction beyond changing to an open type font that supports fractions. Something similar to what QuarkXpress does with its Make Fraction feature that can be applied to any font type at any font size.

  8. convert metadata description to alt text

    It would be so helpful if there was an option for image metadata like "description" or "keywords" could be imported as the alt text. Right now we need to go click on every picture to type it in for every document that image is used in and it is time consuming. If I could just add a description in the image in bridge/photoshop and then have that imported as alt text, it would save so much time trying to reprocess all our documents to be accessible.

  9. numbering and sections export without prefix

    Very often I include several different documents in one Indesign file, and then export by sections. The downside is that exporting by section includes the prefix in the PDF page numbers, and I have to manually remove the prefix in acrobat. It would be awesome if that feature could be optiona, similar to how it's optional to "include the prefix when numbering pages" which prevents the text variables page numbers from including the preflix.

  11. Incorporate a feature in the view dropdown that lists all the languages used within a document

    I work with documents from an international company and even though the document looks like English it can use several different languages. I need to identify those languages and change them to English USA. A dropdown option that lists all the languages used within the same document would be incredibly helpful. As of now I have to use the find / replace tool to guess what languages may be used and replace them. Sometimes it can be upwards of five different languages.

  12. Allow InDesign files on Adobe Cloud Services accessible to InDesign Cross-Referencing feature

    InDesign doesn't allow InDesign files stored on Adobe's cloud system to utilize its powerful cross-reference feature. All the files must be kept on the local drive in order to utilize cross referencing. Adobe is encouraging us to store all our files in their cloud system (formerly CC), but doing so removes the possibility from cross-referencing information or even cross-referencing page numbers in a table of contents in Long Document multi file projects like books.

    Adobe support says "I would like to inform you that you may not cross references with the other InDesign cloud document , how ever we are…

  14. Default Sync of All Settings Across CC Applications

    Could you please enable the option to save all presets, windows, keyboard shortcuts, and all personalized settings, including Photoshop actions, brushes, and similar configurations, under the CC account? Ideally, this should be the default setting, so that after every installation, all settings for all applications, including color profiles and similar configurations, are fully copied. It's unbelievable that this hasn’t been working this way for a long time.

    It would also be great if there was an option to export settings or share them across different accounts.

  17. Auto-size new option

    It would also be useful for an anchored object to be able to set Auto-size to the width of the container object (e.g., in percentage), in a way similar to what is possible with CSS.

  19. Merge paragraph styles to be able to use the functions of two styles at the same time

    create a way that the attributes of one paragraph style can be applied to another paragraph style, so that a style that has certain attributes can be used in conjunction with other styles, thus avoiding the creation of multiple 'equal' paragraph styles just because at a certain point in the publication it has to have some difference.

  20. Display effective ppi and actual ppi of selected image at the Control panel

    I'd like to see the effective ppi and actual ppi of an image displayed at the Control panel for easy of use. It's a very important information for me as I routinelly place several images on our publications and it's really cumbersome to have to open the Links panel or the Info panel just to check an image resolution while there's plentiful of unused space at the Control panel where this information could sit.
