1. Links panel - use arrow keys to view each linked file's attributes

   Often in large documents i like to check the attributes (ex. color space, effective PPI, etc.) of each linked file in the "Links" panel before packaging everything for the print company. Would be really nice to be able to use the arrow keys to move up and down this list instead of having to click on each file individually.

2. Convert graphics from RGB to CMYK

   I use InDesign for a lot of print layout, and often graphics used/supplied (stock, photographs, etc.) are in RGB format. But for print I need these in CMYK format, and since ideas for which graphics to use and layouts change often before finalization I wait until the final OKs are given before converting graphics to CMYK.

   The way I see this working is through the "Links" tab, although perhaps it could be done through the "Package..." function. In the Links tab, it would give me the option of right-clicking an RGB file and within that popup menu give me the option to convert the source file to CMYK. That way I don't have to open everything individually in Photoshop, convert the files then save them.

   Otherwise, if this could be done through "Package..." that could work as well. Upon first exporting the Export dialog box warns about all RGB files that are linked. Perhaps there could be a checkbox somewhere to either convert the source files to CMYK, or just collect the linked files then convert them to CMYK thus leaving the source files as RGB?

3. How to export multiple InDesign files to PDF

   Hi.

   How to export multiple InDesign files with different formats to multiple PDFs. Is there a Drag & Drop feature directly from InDesign documents to create PDFs in this way?

4. Add "First Paragraph Options" within Paragraph Styles

   Feature Request:
   Introduce a new section within Paragraph Style Options called "First Paragraph Options" (similar to how "Drop Caps and Nested Styles" works). This would allow users to define specific formatting rules that apply only to the very first paragraph in a consecutive sequence of paragraphs sharing the exact same style.

   The Problem:
   Currently, when a style is applied to multiple consecutive paragraphs, any formatting specific to the opening paragraph requires creating a separate, dedicated paragraph style.

   A classic example is book typesetting:

   • The first paragraph of a chapter or section should not have a first-line indent, while all subsequent paragraphs should.
   • Long block quotations spanning multiple paragraphs require the first paragraph to have no indent, while the following ones do.

   Creating two distinct styles (e.g., "Quote First" and "Quote Body") creates a major issue with layout automation: the "Space Between Paragraphs Using Same Style" option breaks down. Because InDesign sees them as two different styles, it applies the standard "Space After/Before" instead of the unified spacing, forcing manual adjustments or complex workaround styles.

   Proposed Solution:
   Allow a single Paragraph Style to handle the exception for the first paragraph. If the style is applied to three consecutive paragraphs, InDesign should automatically detect the first one and apply the specific overrides defined in the style (such as removing the first-line indent or adding a drop cap), while maintaining the "Space Between" logic seamlessly across the entire block.

5. Title Case button (and options) in the Control Panel

   After adding the much appreciated Lower Case button in the Control Panel there is an awkward empty space there. It would be great to add the Title Case button there as it is a widely used application of case styling.

   Along with the button it would be good to have options for the title case that could be opened with an ALT/OPT-click on the Title case button. This would be great in conjunction with FR https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/37521424-improve-title-case

   Having the possibility to exclude certain words from the title case is needed as there are several styles of how to write Title Case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_case

   Giving the user the possibility to define the words themselves that should be omitted allows for maximum flexibility.

6. Better visibility for table border selection (Stroke panel)

   When editing table borders in the Stroke panel, the small preview grid that represents the cell borders is very hard to see and use. The active line selection is indicated by a very thin and pale blue highlight, which is almost invisible on high-resolution or bright displays.
   This makes it difficult to tell which borders are selected or to accurately click on them. The hit area for these lines is also extremely narrow, which further reduces usability.
   It would be a major improvement if the highlight: had stronger color contrast or adjustable color (for example, a red or darker highlight), appeared thicker or bolder, or if there were a clearer visual indicator (e.g., a solid overlay or thicker outline).

   This small adjustment would greatly improve visibility and usability when formatting tables in InDesign.

9. InDesign Review Panel should NOT switch the filter to 'Resolved' when editing text with older resolved comments

   I am often working on documents with multiple review sessions. The problem that occurs since the latest updates of InDesign is that as soon as I put the cursor in a piece of text which previously had a comment attached to it which is resolved, all resolved comments pop up in the comments panel and I cannot see the current comments: all comments are immediately filtered to 'resolved'. Of course I can switch off the filter for resolved comments again, but it switches back again to 'resolved comments' as soon as I start working on the text. This is driving me nuts, because it is not only annoying, it becomes very difficult to work on the unresolved comments and takes up a lot of time. As a work around I now have to open the online document with the current unresolved comments to track down what actually still needs to be resolved. Apparently this is 'as designed', but this is driving designers crazy. Please help!
   More details and screen recordings can be found in this discussion on the Adobe Community: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-review-panel-automatically-filters-to-resolved-comments-when-editing-text/td-p/14619901

10. Create a filter to see/use only ONE font language within font option cascades

    A request to Adobe: Include an option in the "font filter" to turn on/off each language of fonts. Adobe still offers a multitude of foreign fonts for its cloud-based software that cannot be turned off in the cascade of font options, eating up space and simply slowing down work flow for those of us who speak and work in one language. Please please fix this. "Noto" font options, in particular, requires a few pages of scrolling to get past EVERY TIME I browse for a new font to use.

11. "Create Outlines" should automatically "convert bullets and numbering to text" first.

    Currently you have to remember to select "Convert bullets and numbering to text" before you also select "Create Outlines." This should not be a two part process as there would never be a time when a designer would suddenly want the bullets and numbers to disappear when making outlined text for a printer.

12. Emoji for Print: Update EmojiOne Color and Support COLR Fonts

    I work for a large book publisher and more and more books (especially YA) include a lot of emoji. To the point that having to replace all emoji with art is a tedious process. For workflow efficiency and for accessibility issues, we utilize emoji fonts and convert them to outline, then color correct for print (grayscale or CMYK). That way we can support diverse emoji and preserve the unicode values so that characters are maintained as manuscripts go from Word to InDesign.

    Right now, emoji fonts that support shading and skin tone/hair color options come in two flavors--OpenType SVG and OpenType COLR. Neither is supported by print PDF standards. OpenType COLR is not yet supported in Adobe software. We are limited to OpenType SVG, which we have to convert to outline to export to PDF (for print standards and for colorspace). We are further limited by the individual font behavior of convert to outline (for example, Noto Emoji Color SVG has horrible character fidelity when converted to outline).

    Adobe's emoji font, EmojiOne Color, version 1.0000, only has emoji up to unicode 9.0, which was released in 2016. Any newer emoji are not available.

    My requests:
    --Update EmojiOne Color with new emoji releases and keep it up to date.
    --Add support for OpenType COLR in Adobe software.
    --(The Dream): Create an emoji font designed for print that:
    +Has CMYK or Grayscale options (emoji fonts are web based and RGB [we would still need RGB for ebook], but putting this thought out there to not forget print)
    +Has shading so that skin tones, hair options, etc. are possible.
    +Uses emoji unicode
    +Works in Adobe software, exports to PDF and embeds for print, is supported in EPUB.

14. LayoutWindow to get and set view bounds

    With LayoutWindow.bounds I can get and set the bounds of the window, but I want to get and set the bounds of the view port, ie. what the user sees inside the window. If view port bounds is too difficult, then just a centerOfView coordinate would be fine—combined with the already-available zoom value, that would achieve most things I'd need.

    For what it's worth, it is possible to do what I want in Illustrator.

15. Page number ranges in TOC

    Table of contents don't have the ability to add page ranges.

    So the contents look like this:

    Section A . . . . . . . 1

    Section B . . . . . . . 5

    Section C . . . . . . . 9

    When they should look like this:

    Section A . . . . . . . 1-4

    Section B . . . . . . . 5-8

    Section C . . . . . . . 9

    All this needs to be implemented is to have the second number be one page less than the following number.

    This would cover most situations and would be auto updating.

18. QR error correction level

    It would be nice to have more control over the QR code generator. To be more specific: add the option to choose de Error Correction Level of the code.
    That way we can make small codes smaller, (especially in combination with a url-shortner) or normal codes slightly bigger to have enough error correction to have a gap in the middle (for a logo).

    [X] Automatic

20. Need Better (and Less-Hidden) Accessibility Tagging Options

    Please make it much easier to add accessible alt-text to InDesign documents. There should be an accessibility panel and pre-check to make it very easy for designers.
