Mimic Text Box
For Example: If you have a list of people and you create a text box for each person that has a number in the text box.
Further in the document you would have a map that also has the numbers showing which person is situated where.
What would be very helpful is to have those 2 numbers (1 and 1, 2 and 2, etc.) be able to auto update the other.
So when someone is removed from the list, the person numbered 10 originally now becomes 9, which also auto updates on the map

Open pages of a pdf file in a single InDesign file
I always face this problem where I need to open a single page of a pdf. file to do amendment. It’s difficulty when my client doesn’t have the working file (indd). I hope adobe is allowing me to open all pages of a pdf. file in a single InDesign.

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.

Condition Sets: Show overrides when the set has a +
In every other panel, when there is a style override, resulting in a + symbol, if you hover over the symbol, it will tell you specifically what the overrides are. For example, a different type size, or font family or leading or something along those lines.
But in the Condition Sets dropdown, all you get is that there are overrides. And you can either clear them or redefine the set. But if I choose to clear the overrides, I have no way of knowing what the result will be.

Restore the page overlay display in the print dialog.
I previous version of InDesign and the initial releases of InDesign 2017, you could see quite clearly what would print on the selected sheet size. In the latest update as of Aug 2017, if I change a sheet from letter to legal that has been printed previously, letter is still selected in the dialog, but due to the preview sheet being legal and cannot see that there is a size mismatch without going through the individual dialogs. For reference, the portion of the document that would not be within the printable region showed as a different shade of grey, whereas…

When you highlight text - then select something else - it would be really cool if the same text was selected when you went back to it
When you highlight a block of text - then select a different element - it would be really cool if the text was highlighted when you went back to the text box and selected it.

Disponibilizar a função de arredondar os cantos de uma tabela feita no Adobe InDesign
Gostaria de sugerir um recurso que permita arredondar os cantos de uma tabela feita no Adobe InDesign. Atualmente isso não é possível. Mesmo que se coloque dentro de uma caixa, e a caixa arredondar, o recurso não sobrepões a tabela.
Veja o anexo.

Dynamic text for Indesign please…..
It would save so much time — while Dynamic Text isn’t perfect in Photoshop Beta, it’s still great. Since InDesign is such a typographic powerhouse, though, it would make even more sense there — far more control, styles, and layout flexibility.

Expandir columnas
Sería de gran ayuda, tanto para revistas como para periódicos, que en "Expandir columnas” en InDesign, el titular o entradillas no sea solo desde la primera columna, que se pueda elegir entre la segunda, tercera, etc.; esto evitaría cajas de textos… De esta forma, por ejemplo, se pueden centrar en una página de 6 columnas el Título y subtítulo y que el texto empiece en la primera columna…

Feedback on the Mathematical Character Feature in InDesign
Dear Adobe Team,
First of all, I would like to thank you for adding the mathematical character insertion feature to InDesign. This is a very important step, especially for users who prepare educational materials, scientific publications, or technical documents.
However, I have noticed a few limitations while using this feature:
The font of the mathematical characters cannot be changed. This makes it difficult to maintain visual consistency with the rest of the document and reduces flexibility in professional designs.
Mathematical characters are not aligned with the baseline of the surrounding text. They often appear slightly above or below the text…

Conditional Vertical Justification
Add a new option to the Vertical Justification settings for text frames: "Conditional Justify".
BehaviorWhen Conditional Justify is selected, vertical justification is applied only when the text frame is sufficiently filled. Add a numeric field: Content fill threshold (%). If the frame’s text occupies a percentage equal to or greater than this threshold, the frame receives full vertical justification. If the frame’s fill is below this threshold, the frame uses the chosen fallback alignment.Fallback option
Provide a dropdown: Fallback alignment with the classic vertical choices: Top, Center, Bottom.Notes / Suggested defaults
…Default Content fill threshold: 90% (editable).1 vote -
Precise Text Wrap Control for Column Rules
I love the Column Rules feature in the Text Frame Options Dialogue. What keeps me from using it as often as I'd like is due to how column rules interact with text wrap.
I'd like to have: 1. Numerical control of how rules wrap independent from text in the text wrap dialogue box, or: 2. The ability for rules to be locked to baseline grids. Perhaps having both would give the perfect amount of control?
Please see my screen grab attached. You will see that the body copy wraps as expected, but the column rule does not. It's sticking above…

Binding option for everyone
I would like to request that the Binding option (Left/Right) be made available in all document types and regional settings, not just in specific templates or page presets.
We are a publishing company based in Hungary, and we regularly publish Japanese manga titles. The materials we receive from Japan are prepared in InDesign with right-to-left page order (Right Binding). Unfortunately, once we open or localize these files, the Binding option is often locked or unavailable, which means we cannot simply flip the reading direction.
As a result, we have to manually recreate or copy all pages into a new document…

business cards sleeves printing in Canada
For every professional who cares for an impressive presentation, a protective sleeve for a business card becomes a must; hence, business cards sleeves printing in Canada offers fine products. Made of prime material, these sleeves can be customized with imprinting logos, colors, and finishes in line with brand identity. Business card sleeves lend an element of professionalism to networking and corporate events while leaving behind a well-groomed, long-lasting impression-this is an idea cherished across Canada.

Alternate layout - Improve
I struggling with this function, i want easy options for me that makes severeal sizes to dirrerent devices of the same design.
I want the option to only make an alternative layout on one choosen page, not auto make it to all my pages.
Also, the autoscale and object adjustment is'nt good at all. If you try this function in canva, it will take me some seconds and i only need to adjust it a little bit, in Indesign, its a struggle. Ans i want to use indesign, but its tome consuming.1 vote -
Adobe Express templates - opens in Indesign
Indesign recently come with a new feature thats allow you to se and open Adobe Express Templates from the startpage in Indesign. BUT, i would love to open them in Indesign, not Adobe Express.
Exacltly like you do in Adobe Express or Canva, but keep it in Indesign. Its perfect if you need some inspiration, or if you use the programs but you have to make something fast and not from scratch.1 vote -
Add an option to reinitialize the list of fonts
I would like to request the addition of an option to reinitialize the list of fonts. Before starting a new project, I prefer not to see the previously used fonts at the top of the list. Instead, I would like to have the fonts organized strictly in alphabetical order. This would help me easily find and select the fonts I want to use without the distraction of past choices. Thank you for considering this feature!

My be it's not an idea, but there's something wrong
Upgrade auf Indesign 2025. Datei im Umfang von 32 (!) Seiten stürzt permanent ab, auch nach der zweiten oder dritten Änderung im Text. Rückkehr zu Indesign 2024 nicht möglich, da alle Dateien neu gespeichert wurden. Was ist zu tun?
