Auto delete imported remarks after accepting them
When importing a pdf with remark/correctionss , its impossible to delete multiple remarks after accepting them. It would be great to have an option that deletes the remark after accepting it. I often have 700 pages books with 3000+ remarks. Indesign becomes soooo slow.

relaxovat
Dlouho jsem nemohl najít vhodnou zábavu na krátké přestávky, až jsem vyzkoušel plinko podvod. Zaujala mě upřímnost a jednoduchost platformy, stejně jako atmosféra, která netlačí, ale naopak - vytváří útulnost. Pár minut hry - a nálada se znatelně zlepšila.

vertical text wrap
Currently, if you have text center aligned (horizontally) when wrapping, the text stays centered between the end of the next box and the wrapping object. This should happen in the vertical as well, but currently doesn't.
If there is text above a wrapping object, and the text is vertically center aligned, the text will either not move (if the wrapping object is lower than the text would end) or it will stay flush with the wrap.
In my case, the fact the vertical doesn't work the same way as the horizontal makes it extremely difficult to design with a single…

Convert Page Guides to Spread Guides
I would like to suggest a small but highly useful improvement for a future update of InDesign.
Currently, when guides are placed within a single page, there is no built-in way to convert them into spread guides (guides that span across the entire spread), unless they are re-created manually while holding Ctrl/Cmd during placement. This becomes especially frustrating when a layout contains a large number of precisely positioned guides that need to be extended to the full spread — for example, after a reorganization of pages or when switching from single-page to spread layout.
Feature suggestion:

Add 'Apply to All' function when relinking multiple identical image files through the links panel.
Add 'Apply to All' function when relinking multiple identical image files through the links panel - ie when swapping a PNG with an EPS or completely new image with a different files name. When relinking multiple identical images through the links panel, user is required to relink every single image separately one after another. Adding and 'Apply to All' function would speed up this process when looking to update 50 images as once.

Keyboard shortcut for Align Justify w/last line right
The default action in the Align Justify keyboard shortcut is to align the last line in the paragraph to the left (Shift+Cmd+J).
There is no keyboard shortcut to align the last line to the right. Please add it; it’s very important to my RTL text workflow.1 vote -
Warn about font managers
Performance problems and crashes are frequently caused by third party font managers calling faulty macOS code that InDesign itself knows to avoid. Move all offending OS calls that end up in a font manager to a separate "sandbox" thread, and alert the user to disable incompatible software when the call does not return.

Add custom labels to page thumbnails in the Pages panel
As someone who regularly works with large, multi-page InDesign documents - especially project-based packages - I’d love to see the ability to assign custom labels or names to individual pages in the Pages panel.
Currently, when I need to go back and edit a specific project page in a large qualifications package, it’s difficult and time-consuming to locate the right page. Using only numerical page numbers doesn’t give me the context I need, especially when each page represents a different project.
While section markers and visible labels on the page help somewhat, these don’t make navigation faster within the Pages…

Please change the default View-Display Performance-back to Typical. The high quality display takes a very long time to load.
Please change the default View-Display Performance-back to Typical. Or at least when I save it with that setting, keep the setting. The high quality display takes a very long time to load.

Allow placement of PDFs/images by actual page size, not their bounding box.
Enable an option to place or drag-and-drop PDF and image files based on their actual page dimensions (MediaBox or defined size), rather than defaulting to bounding box-based fitting—the following alignment of such is unnecessary hustle. Ideally with user-selectable placement mode (bounding box vs. full page).

Interactivity, LIVE while using InDesign - Object States and Buttons that work at ANY time - ala AE 'Essential Graphics'
Interactivity, LIVE while using InDesign - Object States and Buttons that work at ANY time - ala AE 'Essential Graphics'.
There is the potential for InDesign to be a powerful QC authoring tool in our industry. We apply technical charts over the images which designers have created, like pitch/checker-decks. We need many different aspect ratios but repetition of the overlays and much of the info. We previously had over 90 layers the user would need to make visible or invisible - this is tedious and antithesis of good UX.
Essential Graphics in AfterEffects is somewhat close to the idea we…1 vote -
Add "Align to guides" option in Align panel
It would be useful to add to the options already present in the Align panel (selection, page, margin, key object) also "align to guides": the selected object would be aligned to the first nearest guide, vertically or horizontally, depending on the button pressed (top, right, left, bottom).

Password requirements / limitation for publish online function
We are facing an issue, that we have to use a specific password, which the customer define and we have to use for protecting the documents. It's not allowed, to use a different password.
This password is longer than 20 characters, but you have rules for the password and one of it is defined, that the password has not to be longer than 20 characters.
That means for us, we cannot share any Adobe files with these customer, which means, that we have to use competitor tools, which allows a password with more than 20 characters...
Would be great, when…1 vote -
Regarding New InDesign PDF Editing Feature
Hi,
I hope this message finds you well.
We recently became aware of a new feature currently in beta within Adobe InDesign, which allows users to open and edit PDF files directly in InDesign. While we understand this can be a powerful enhancement for many workflows, we would like to raise a concern from the perspective of an enterprise customer.
We frequently shares open PDFs with clients and external partners for review and approval purposes. The ability to convert these PDFs into fully editable InDesign files—even in its current limited beta stage—presents a significant risk to the security and integrity…

Find/Replace Dialog box functionality was changed in 20.3 tabbing from Find now goes to the Special Character button
in InDesign 20.3 there was a change to the find/replace dialog box. When I tab out of the "Find what:" field it goes into "Specials characters for search" button instead of the way it used to work where it would tab into "Change to:" field.
I work on large books with data that I cannot control how it comes in and it is not connected. These books have three versions so there are three layers to work on. I need to make the same changes to all three layers. I have a rhythm, and I tend to work fast. At…

GUIDES and View Outlines / Zoom
Would these small implementations be possible in Indesign?
GUIDES
- Creation of guides from Paths (as it works in illustrator)
- Possibility to move guides eg: 30°VISUALIZATION
- Possibility to have the display in Outlines (as in illustrator), It seems a stupid choice but it is often useful for selecting points and objects ...
I think that with the GPU acceleration just implemented this function would be feasible.ZOOM: Couldn't you increase the Zoom I don't know 8000% / 16000% ?? 64000%??????

Ability to change the DEFAULT setting for Object Layer Options to 'Use PDF's Layer Visibility'
Offer a way (ideally in preferences) to change the default setting in Object Layer Options for "When Updating Link" to be set to either 'Keep Layer Visibility Overrides' OR 'Use PDF's Layer Visibility'.
At present it always defaults to 'Keep Layer Visibility Overrides,' and adjustments have to be made manually.

Right-Click to Duplicate Page Directly on the Canvas
Currently, duplicating a page in InDesign requires navigating to the Pages panel, locating the desired page, right-clicking, and selecting "Duplicate spread." This process, while functional, adds unnecessary steps—especially in documents with many pages.
Proposed Enhancement:
Enable users to right-click directly on a page in the workspace to access the "Duplicate Page" option.Why this matters:
Faster workflow: Eliminates the need to open and scroll through the Pages panel.
More intuitive: Mirrors how users interact with objects and text frames—directly on the canvas.
Reduces friction: Especially helpful for designers working on large or complex documents.
This small change could significantly streamline…1 vote
