  2. Combine Enhance Scanned File with AI

    I have a very large scanned pdf of a document that was typed with an old typewriter. I am transferring it all to InDesign and the quality of the text when I copy and paste from the scanned document is awful which is making me have to retype large chunks.
    It would be very powerful to use AI to test the text and make sense of it rather than the current output which is mostly garbage.
    And when I use the spell suggester, it comes out with such random suggestions which bear no relation to the actual spelling of the…

  3. Workflow issue: Composite fonts increase uncontrollably when switching projects

    Category: Text and Type (Composite fonts issue specific to Japanese workflows)

    Composite fonts are a feature of the Japanese version of InDesign, widely used in the workflows of Japanese publishers.

    Currently, InDesign identifies composite fonts only by their names. When multiple documents containing composite fonts with the same name but different settings are opened at the same time, InDesign forcibly duplicates and renames them (e.g. “FontName 2”, “FontName 3”, …). As a result, the number of composite fonts grows uncontrollably, making font management extremely confusing.

    This behavior causes serious workflow problems:

    • It prevents efficient switching between projects.

    • It makes collaboration…

  4. option boxes with sizes need different default behavior

    for all boxes where you can edit a size, please make the default behavior that when you click in the box to edit the size it selects everything. that way you can just click on the box and put in the new number. If for example a text size is 10px, please when I select the box, select everything so that I can just type in 14 to make the size bigger. If I type in 14, you should just keep it in pixels. Or if I type in 14pts, change it to points. Editing sizes right now is annoying…

  5. horizontal table flow in text boxes

    Right now, if you have a table that has more rows than the text box can handle vertically, the table will auto-flow into a new/threaded text box, or another column within the text box. It would be really helpful if tables could the same thing horizontally.

    For example, let's say you set up a table with 3 rows, first with images, a second with item numbers, and a third with descriptions. Each column for this set up is an inch wide, and you have 30 items that each need their own column, but you want it to fill an 8.5x11…

  6. Add ability to make resusable/editable linked COMPONENTS (like in XD)

    InDesign has been dancing around the edges of this idea for years, with half-baked features like snippets, libraries, linked items in the content grabber....but it never has gotten it right. What we need is something exactly like the "components" feature in Adobe XD. We grab some objects, and then "Make Component" out of them. Then we can plop multiple instances of that component throughout the document. If we go back and edit the "Main Component" those changes are automatically applied to all placed instances of it.

    Yes, I know you can place one indesign doc into another, which is the…

  7. Want to check if Adobe has been 'hacked' because I've received an unusual email supposedly from an Adobe ID Product Manager

    After sitting in the phone cue for an hour because there are no appropriate option choices for 'contact Adobe about suspicious emails asking for detailed questions about my account'. I thought I'd post it here because the email claims to have links to the InDesign team. Email content raises a number of security flags which require IT in my company to check it out and as I am IT, I tried - but if you can't get through to anyone at Adobe and there's nowhere to deal with security issues in the 'contact' section of Adobe, then guess I will…

  8. Enable more control panel and app bar customization

    Please enable greater customization of the control panel (the top/bottom panel from the Essentials Classic workspace).

    I realize you can customize which tools are included, however, it takes up too much space. Even if I reduce the number of tools to very few, the panel takes up two rows worth of space and all the tools are stacked (in two rows) at the far left of the panel. You also cannot arrange the order or position of the various tools.

    I hate how much space the panels take up on the screen and that's part of the reason I like…

  9. 'Paste Attributes' - just like in Premiere Pro

    If I have a couple of images placed on a page, if I want to match the attributes (eg. reference point, x offset, width, rotation angle, etc.) of picture B with picture A, I have to either manually remember (or copy) enter each of picture A's number and enter it into picture B's attributes, or use a script such as Equalizer.

    It would be fantastic to have something just like Premiere Pro's Paste Attributes. Using this, I could select picture A, do Edit>Copy, then select picture B, do Edit>Paste Attributes... and a dialog box would pop up asking which attributes…

  10. Apply gabarits with conditions

    Hello, after a long research, I notice that there is no possibility to apply gabarits according to rules (presence of text, grep, presence of image, percentage of filled text block, presence of style, etc.) to specific pages (on the first/last page, between some pages, grep-like operation, etc.). This could be done by giving several templates to a page and giving rules to choose which one to apply (with an option to choose the pages dynamically).
    For my part, I'm desperately looking for a dynamic and automated way to hide the folio/page number when it's an empty (no text) or almost…

  12. 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…

  13. 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.
    💡…

  15. Zoom to selection is not using enough screen real estate

    when using shortcut shift-cmd-= to perform a zoom to selection, the object is being centred, which is good, but the zoom view is too small given that there're just too many spaces being left around the object.

    Ideally, when zoom to selection this will snugly fit the object just into the window, which I found an interesting coincidence. Say for example, theres an object thats being set to zoom to selection, and the zoom level of it is 30.7% (and just feel how small the object would look on screen at this level), then you multiply this number by 2,…

  17. support languages of Vanuatu, which are currently very difficult to typeset, with no text flow

    AFAICT, InCopy (and InDesign) do not currently support several writing systems, which makes font design for those scripts difficult. The avoiuli script of Vanuatu, for example, which is boustrophedon and can change from btm-to-top to top-to-btm. I'm working with a professional typographer, and trying to design a font that can't be implemented by any word processor that we know of means that a lot of choices in the design are probably not optimal. The best option currently seems to be placing a hard return at the end of each line, with manual RTL/LTR control, and sorting the lines in reverse…

  19. Indesign 2024

    To the developers:

    I am in charge of a newspaper in the north of Spain, ALERTA. I am considering whether to switch to the new InDesign 2024 following the information from the presentation meeting your company held. It has taken me time to adapt our catalog to your new policy on Type 1 fonts. Once this issue was resolved, and I was able to look at the new features of the new version, I found that some of the things said in that presentation are either false or not entirely true to reality. That story about the new paragraph styles…
