  1. page sorter

    When I'm working on a long document, it's very hard to find a specific page that I know the look of, but don't know the page number to. And trying to move pages around is also ver hard in the small Page panel.
    It would be nice to be able to switch views in the main document window/panel to something that looks like the slide sorter on Microsoft Powerpoint. Where the thumbnails of each page isn't as small as they are on the Pages panel and there is a much larger screen real estate to sort through the…

  2. Improve override & "mixed overrides" notice on paragraph styles: give useful info

    If a paragraph has some override(s) in it that do not affect the entire paragraph, you'll see the little paragraph symbol at the bottom of the panel light up. This tells you there's an override. No + sign will appear next to the paragraph style name, though, unless the cursor happens to be in text that has the override. For example, if one word is in italics but your cursor is elsewhere in the paragraph, you don't have any way to know what the override is. If you select the entire paragraph, the + appears, but when you hover over…

  4. Please add Georgian Language Dictionary to Indesign.

    There are many ardent Indesign users from Georgia and as yet there is no official Indesign dictionary. Peolpe manually creates extension files for the dictionary, writes them and also adds the Info.plist file to make it work somehow. I've done it on Windows too and it works, but it kind of doesn't work for Big Sur on mac and Indesign version 16. It will be best if you help design the Georgian language as well. If you'd like, I can send you some ready-made dictionary and spelling files for the Georgian language that I created myself for you to check…

  5. stylistic alternates

    Please make it so that OpenType stylistic alternates can be accessed through paragraph and/or character styles. For instance, my OT font has an alternate form of capital W which I prefer to the default form. It is listed in the Glyphs panel as Stylistic Alternates (salt). However, there is no way to activate this alternate W without manually replacing all default capital Ws with the alternate form I prefer. And even when I do that, reapplying a Paragraph Style to any paragraph where I've changed the W will revert the W to the default. I would like to at least…

  6. Allow users to move the colours and colour groups up and down the list under the drop-down menu at the top of the page

    Hi there,

    Please could anyone tell me if there is a way to (or why we cannot) reorder the colours in the drop-down colour palette…?

    I have created several colour groups and swatches (lower down the list than shown in the image below), but there doesn’t seem any easy way to simply reorder it so the colours and groups I use most are on the top… It would be so much easier if I could just move my favourite / regular colours by clicking on the line and moving it up or down the list. This would seem an easy…

  7. Pencil tool to hold specific stroke and color

    In previous versions of ID i've been able to select the pencil tool (with no document open) and set it to a specific stroke and color and every time I would then click on the pencil tool to draw, it would do so with those specifications. In the latest CC version, that feature seems to be gone and now I draw and THEN have to set a stroke and color, which really slows me down! Tell me I'm not crazy like the pompous people in the forum! :)

    When I'm doing a layout and sending images out for color work,…

  8. Bring back Click-and-Drag character and paragraph interface

    The scale scrubbers on the control panel/menus that allowed us to click and drag to adjust character size, tracking, line spacing, etc. were invaluable. It allowed us to see the changes as we were making them. Please bring them back! It takes me about eight times as long to lay out text now.

  9. Option to turn off auto centre when selecting layers

    When selecting objects in my layers panel, my screen jumps to that object. This is not what I want. No way. Never.

    Sometimes i go through my layers and select them to see what they are especially if they aren't named. But i don't want to navigate to them automatically! If i have zoomed in and am looking at a particular object, there is no way i want some automatic feature to take me away to a different part of the document - just so i have to zoom out and go back to where i was focusing on.…

  12. An AI procedure/tool creates design variations across disparate custom page sizes in a document.

    In a document that has multiple pages, where each page has different custom dimensions, what if there were an AI tool that used elements from page 1 to create adapted layouts for the remaining pages of the document?

    You could include a few parameters, like whether or not to allow text smaller than agate text, or to allow new margins to be established vs honoring the document settings for margins, etc. Perhaps a disclaimer flag for elemetns that are small print text and could be omitted from smaller ad sizes.

    The procedure/tool could consider heirachy based on size, color, brightnes…

  13. Indesign Share for Review User/Stakeholder UI experience

    I am finding a lot of user error on my stakeholder's side when it comes time for them to review.

    I think some basic information should pop up on how to leave a proper comment when they first access the review or fix it so it is always default to highlight/strikethrough.

    For example: They can leave a regular comment just fine, however, I have no idea where in the text the change should be because they don't highlight the text first then click the tool needed. It's a simple step for people who are familiar with these reviews but some…

  14. Align Content on page - not just objects or selection

    It would be great to have a button panel to align to page, not just align objects or align to selection. For example when I want text or an image dead center on the page it would be great to just be be able hit a keyboard shortcut or click a button and have it align to center of page, horizontally, vertically or both. I know there's tons of ways to work around it, but it would be so nice!

  15. Detect a change in size of linked multi page PDF files

    It would be great if ID could see if a placed PDF file changed number of pages. I often place multi page PDFs (financial documents) that span 1-20 pages and are updated/change number of pages as financial data updates. Currently it is a manual process to check the links panel for duplicate (page x) or visually look at the document to see if the total line is not there. These are 500+ page documents, so it takes forever sometimes!

  16. MacOS27 use smaller corner radius in smaller windows like tab-settings

    MacOS 27: Apple has changed the corner radius, but also offers to use a smaller radius (keyboard overview panel) and it seems a non-brainer to implement this in menu items like tabs.

  17. search

    Make the search bar visible when users press CMD+F (or windows alternative).

    At the moment, when you click to search text on a document that's shared for review, it seems like the search bar doesn't appear. But in reality it's hidden behind the comments panel. You have to close the comments/preview panels to see it.

    This causes a lot of "there's no search bar" comments from users, and we have to specifically tell them now when we share for review "it's hidden. Close this panel".

    The search function should always be visible when someone presses CMD+F.

  18. Eyedropper Tool and locked layers on top, theme tool

    Hey, here is an idea; I have a layer with a photo and i have a layer with text on top. I lock the textlayer and select the eyedropper tool. I click on the photo and the colour is picked. Just like in illustrator...Wishfull thinking?

    Here is another golden idea:
    I have a photo of an interior, mostly brown- somewhat green and overal grey, but there is an amazing pop of yellow because there is one small flower on a painting.
    I select the Colour Theme Tool, I zoom in on the flower, and click on it.
    My brain is…

  19. Integrated controls for styles

    I think it would be more intuitive to integrate styles in with the manual controls they go with, especially for character and paragraph styles, like so:
    -slide the panel left to see the current settings and make manual changes, slide the panel right to switch to a new style.
    -When you look at the manual controls, every element has an icon to show that it is matching a style, and another icon shows if an override is applied.
    -click an override icon to remove that specific override

  20. Add full text markup options to document review (online version)

    When sending a document for review through CC online, my reviewers have very limited edit/markup options (add comment, draw, add pin). Can you add all the text markup options available in the "Comment" tool of the desktop version of Acrobat Pro? For example, insert text, add note to replace text, strikethrough, callout boxes, etc. This is valuable to me because it is much easier to read/understand the edits if they're clear text edits, not just comments in a box. Thank you!
