1. Max size in Text Frame options.

   Why is there a minimum size for text frames, but not a maximum size. We use Auto-size combined with text-wrap a lot with liquid layout templates to allow text to adapt to it's new sizes/dimensions. Occasionally it would be great if we could build a maximum size that the text box can grow too instead of giving it the minimum size.

2. publish online full screen support on iPads

   Hi,
   i am using the great "Publish Online" feature on several documents.
   My docs are ok everywhere...

   Except full screen browsing :

   • working perfectly on desktop browsers, when clicked on the icon in the inferior bar.
   • working perfectly on iPhone (recent os) when switched in landscape mode.

   • not working on iPad (recent os, iPad 2, iPad Air and iPad Pro), none of the gesture will work, and none of the browsers neither…
   I've tried Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera.

   Impossible to obtain a full screen viewing, which is really required for a presentation. The upper bar will remain for ever.

   Thanks a lot.

3. Make the standard fonts within InDesign and other Adobe design softwares ALL the same across both the Mac and PC platforms.

   I am a college student studying graphic design. In my classes the school provides Apple Mac computers to do our in class work. However, I own a Windows Surface Laptop. So when I need to finish projects outside of the classroom it is very frustrating to choose a font on the Mac only to have it changed because the font is not available/has to be imported on the Windows PC (vice versa). I understand that the platforms are very different from each other, but it is the same software. How hard can it be for Adobe to make the fonts in the software the same across both the Mac and PC platforms so that this reoccurring, very agitating problem of "missing fonts" can be completely avoided.

4. Make option for "Edit->Place and Link" to update only table contents, not formatting

   In some cases I must use some tables with technical data in multiple documents in various conditions. For example, I wish to put it in catalogue layout with a table width of 287 mm, and in container label with a table width of 240 mm. Content and text format remain unchanged, but column width can vary.
   So I "Place and Link" the table, try to update my link. All my formatting is lost, and the table expands back to 287 mm. This is very annoying, especially when I need to handle hundreds of tables, which is usual situation for my projects.

5. Symbol for automatic hyphen in Find/Change

   It would be great, if we could search for words, that are hyphenated automatically at a specific position (I do not mean discretionary hyphens, but those, created automatically from InDesign’s hyphenation module). Therefore a special search character would be useful.

6. Make spellcheck apply to paragraph styles

   It would be super useful to be able to run spellcheck only on certain paragraph styles. I run a directory that includes hundreds of names that get flagged, and if i I could run spellcheck just on body copy + headline paragraph styles, it would save me hours each month.

8. Allow Data Merge to use .csv with semicolon separated text

   Currently one has to use tab separated text (.txt) or comma separeted text (.csv). When using the .csv-export from Excel, it generates semicolons as separators, which is helpful because there may be a comma inside a table cell. So it would be helpful to use this text directly in InDesign.
   This might be an issue only in the German version of Excel/InDesign, but it causes a lot of trouble.

9. Frame / Cell strokes and border-radius more like CSS

   As an extension of the idea 'Allow different coloured/weight strokes for sides of a text box' - I would like this to apply to table cells as well.

   I use InDesign to do high-fidelity web UI mockups. It would be really nice if there were more options which corresponded directly to CSS.

   What we would need is the ability to set a per-object or global equivalent to "box-sizing: border-box", so that stroke weights don't add to the size of a table cell, but always render aligned to the inside.

   Secondly, give regular text frames the same editing ability as table cells, with per-side stroke colours and weights.

   Third, enable border-styles equivalent to CSS standards.

   Fourth, as a convenience, being able to set border-radius on table cells (or even just the outer corners of an entire table) without it affecting inner cell padding would be marvellous; currently we have to hack this by layering a transparent table over a rectangle with rounded corners.

10. How to export multiple InDesign files to PDF

11. 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.

12. Enable non-contiguous text selection (like in MS Word)

    I work daily on customized graphic projects — brochures, flyers, posters, catalogs — where manual precision is essential. In these kinds of jobs, using styles and automation is often unnecessary or even counterproductive.

    It’s quite limiting that InDesign does not allow non-contiguous text selection within the same text frame, a feature that has been available in software like Microsoft Word for years (Cmd+click on Mac / Ctrl+click on Windows).

    Being able to select multiple non-adjacent portions of text and apply changes to them simultaneously (bold, size, color, etc.) would be a major improvement for those of us who work in a more artisanal way on short- to medium-length layouts with high visual detail.

    Please consider adding this feature, at least as an optional setting, to better support the needs of many designers who don’t primarily work on long-form publishing like books or magazines.

    Thank you!

13. [Scripting] Edit QR Code

    It would be good if we could read the contents of an Indesign-generated QR Code via script.

    Currently it is possible to read the contents by exporting the QRCode graphic as a snippet and reading the XML. We see this:

    
    <PlainTextQRCode Self="ueb" PlainText="https://adobe.com">
        <Properties>
            <QrCodeSwatch type="string">Black</QrCodeSwatch>
        </Properties>
    </PlainTextQRCode>
    
    

    but this is an obscure and time consuming approach and it would be sensible to be able to derive the "https://adobe.com" value directly via the scripting API, and ideally change it—causing the QR Code to regenerate.

    I'm not sure how best to implement... maybe a new method: Graphic.getQRCodePlainTextContents() and Graphic.setQRCodePlainTextContents(myString) etc.

14. 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.

15. Indesign 2024 not working with window-snapping apps

    I recently upgraded to InDesign 2024. I use BetterSnapTool to arrange my app-windows in order to have a efficient and practical workflow. But InDesign 2024 does not work with BetterSnapTool (BST) or any other window-snapping apps due to this reason I received from the BST support:
    "Unfortunately all window manager apps on macOS are affected by this, Adobe has broken their window resizing behavior in their recent updates. Their products do not respond correctly to window resizing requests using the macOS Accessibility API anymore. As of now I don't think there is anything I can do to fix this. If possible please also report to Adobe, they would need to fix this in their apps."
    BST works with every other application. I have reset InDesign preferences, but it still does not work properly. Therefore I still use InDesign 2023, since BST works perfectly fine with that application. The problem is that when I for instance snap ID2024 to 2/3 of the screen and I put another application in 1/3 of the screen (so far it works) but when I go to the 1/3 app and copy information and return to ID2024, ID2024 goes back to full screen again. Very annoying and it destroys my workflow. Adobe please fix this! I enclose a short videoclip to show how badly it behaves...

16. Preflight Profile for Accessibility

    Add options to run accessibility checks in InDesign. Acrobat already has the ability to run an accessibility check. It would be so helpful to be able to run a preflight check for issues (e.g., alt text, table headers) before exporting.

17. Share for Review - Option for reviewers to toggle single page and spread view.

    It would be great if the review online interface had the option to view the project as spreads or as single pages.

    My coworkers who review prefer to make notes/revisions as single pages, but the publications I create are designed as spreads. It's a pain to go through and share as single pages and then move them back to spreads as I work. It would save me from exporting extra PDF samples to show full layouts when there is so much back and forth.

19. Better Relinking to CC Libraries

    I'd love to see some much needed quality of life/functionality improvements to CC Libraries in InDesign when relinking:

    • Ability to Search when relinking

    • Ability to see/sort by groups when relinking

    • Ability to change view (thumbnail/list) when relinking to CC Libraries

    • Infact, anything more than the current 'Relink to CC Librarires' functionality, which is literally just a list of every single asset in that library sorted by name

    We have thousands of assets in some of our libraries, which are all nicely sorted by group. But this is useless when this is completely ignored by the CC Libraries panel.
