1. Move from Settings/Advance Type/Character Setting into the Character panel and make it be able to preview the options you are selecting

   It would make making changes to superscript or subscript much easier to handle

2. Panels minimized at start up

   When InDesign starts up all the panels are minimzed. I have to click "Reset Workspace" to make them appear maximized again.

3. InDesign Cannot Artifact Leader Dots (Accessibility)

   InDesign has no way of artifacting leader dots. This can only be done in PDF. Leader dots are commonly used in tables of contents to guide the reader's eye from the end of the entry to the page number. Leader dots are voiced by access technologies such as screen readers and force users with disabilities to hear, "DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT ..." If they are not artifacted. This is a painstaking process that requires InDesign users to learn PDF Remediation, a highly specialized skillset that is typically outside the role of the average Graphic Designer. Currently, the process for artifacting leader dots is to ind the first leader dot in the Tags tree. Right click on it and choose Show in Content Panel. Expand the content containers until you find the first set of leader dots. Right click on them and choose “Create Artifact.” Ignore the options panel and click “OK” to set the artifact. Repeat with all other leader dots. This issue affects EVERY SINGLE InDesign user who is required to make accessible content. Please make artifacting leader dots an option within InDesign so painstaking remediation is not required.

4. Urgent: Flatplan workflow feature request for InDesign / Bridge (critical for all magazine publishers)

   Hi Adobe team,
   We’re honestly desperate at this point.

   We’ve been trying for weeks to reach someone from Adobe who could even acknowledge this topic — through enterprise support, admin console, chat agents, even our reseller — and it’s absolutely impossible.

   It’s insane that even as an enterprise customer, we can’t reach a real product contact to talk about something so fundamental.
   We’re part of BurdaMedia International (Czech Republic), publishers of ELLE and ELLE Decoration.

   But this isn’t just our pain — it’s something every single magazine publisher still using InDesign is facing.
   There’s simply no native way to plan or visualize flatplans, page structures, ad positions, or collaborative magazine layouts inside Creative Cloud.

   Legacy systems like WoodWing or K4 are outdated, overpriced, and don’t fit today’s workflows — yet Adobe still doesn’t offer even a lightweight in-house alternative.

   Here’s what we’re asking for:
   → A Bridge-based flatplan module (or workspace) that can visualize InDesign pages as individual, draggable objects.
   → The ability to reorder pages, assign colors or labels (editorial, ad, marketing), and link InDesign or PDF files to each position.
   → Automatic renumbering in InDesign when page order changes.
   → Optional PDF preflight and simple export for final issues.

   It’s a technically simple concept — no new platform, just a smarter integration between Bridge and InDesign — but it would solve a huge, decades-old workflow gap.
   This isn’t just about convenience for publishers.
   It’s about Adobe’s relevance in real production.
   If tools like Affinity Publisher or Apple (after acquiring Pixelmator) start offering integrated flatplan collaboration, many teams will start moving away from InDesign.

   We love Adobe, and we’ve built our entire production workflow around it — but right now, we’re forced to sketch magazine layouts in Excel.
   That’s… absurd in 2025.

   Please — could someone from the InDesign or Publishing Solutions product team contact us so we can share our technical brief and prototype concept?

   We’re ready to collaborate and show how easily this could be implemented.

5. Offset path

   iD : Fr : Offset path
   I found myself stuck by wanting to make a simple offset path inside inDesign. This seems to HAVE to be DONE in Illustrator.
   Bad thing about that is that if I have to go back and forth between both, I’ll have to place it correctly, when it should be a simple value in any unit to enter.

   Some have explored the need for that as a script :

6. outline entire layer

   It would be great if there were an easier solution to outline your tekst. I think I have a solution that would be great in a workflow.

   It would be great if, in a indesign document, I could put all the text on one layer. Then, in the layer panel on the right, to right click the layer and convert all the tekst of that layer (throughout the whole document) to outlines!

   Obviously, you could duplicate the tekst layer and set it to don't pint so you always have a version of the text to edit.

   The behaviour should be exactly the same when i place a document with the Place... option. Hold the alt key, the pointer shows two opening brackets to indicate the Paste into function and Done. Currently I cant place collected content into frames. I always have to click and drag new ones.

10. Control When to Update Graphic Links

    This is sort of already here, but my suggestion is more specific: Currently, graphic links are updated when a document opens. When a link is changed, it automatically updates with a document – but only the first time. After that, we need to click update in the links panel, which is a little onerous when I'm updating links often. It would save a lot of clicks if we could specify in the preferences to ALWAYS update links without asking (or not). So, it would be great to have two settings:
    • update links automatically, always, without asking
    • update links only via the palette or asking.

    Thanks!

11. Go to Page (book-aware version of command)

    The Go to Page command only works within a document. The Go to Page in Book command would open up the requested page in the Book file, regardless of whether the document were open at the time or not.

    This is a valuable command because when editing long books with many chapters, it is useful to go directly to a page to make a change. It saves having to take your hand off the keyboard to the mouse, open the possibly closed Book panel, find the file that is in the page range, double-click it to open it, and then execute Go to Page.

12. Proposal for Native Persian Language Engine in Adobe InDesign

    Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

    I hope this message finds you well.
    As a long-time user of Adobe InDesign in the publishing and design industry in Iran, I would like to bring to your attention a significant challenge that many Persian-speaking designers and publishers face when using this powerful software.

    Adobe InDesign has become the cornerstone of layout and design for books, newspapers, and magazines in Iran. However, despite the availability of the Middle Eastern (ME) version of InDesign, Persian is not natively supported. Instead, the software relies on Arabic language support, which leads to a range of issues due to the fundamental differences between the two languages.

    Key Issues Faced by Persian Users:
    Lack of a native Persian text engine: The current reliance on the Arabic engine causes incompatibilities, as Persian includes additional characters such as "پ", "چ", "ژ", and "گ" which are not present in Arabic.

    Different glyph shapes and behavior: Persian text often renders incorrectly or inconsistently due to glyph mismatches or substitutions, requiring manual adjustments.

    Default LTR text boxes: When creating a new text frame, the default direction is left-to-right, which is impractical for RTL languages like Persian. This requires constant manual correction or the use of custom scripts.

    Inefficient workarounds: Designers often resort to JavaScript scripts and time-consuming tweaks just to achieve proper Persian text handling.

    Proposal:
    To address these issues and significantly improve the experience of Persian-speaking users, I respectfully propose the following:

    Develop a native Persian text engine alongside the Arabic one in the ME version of InDesign.

    Automatically enable right-to-left direction when Persian is detected or selected as the document language.

    Provide complete support for Persian glyphs and typography, separate from the Arabic implementation.

    Consider Persian-specific typographic features, such as justification behavior, kashida, and numeral handling.

    This improvement would not only benefit users in Iran but also the wider Persian-speaking community worldwide, including Afghanistan and Tajikistan. We believe that Adobe, as a leader in creative software, has the vision and capacity to make InDesign more inclusive and better adapted to a wider range of global languages.

    Thank you for your time and for continuously developing such a powerful tool. We hope you will consider this request and help bridge this longstanding gap in support for Persian language professionals.

    Sincerely,
    Akbar

13. Removal modal warnings when opening a document.

    Such as missing links, fonts, etc. Perhaps a docked issues panel once the document is open, but modals block the loading, and if you happen to be opening several old documents at the same time... Also the one that needs attention inevitably pops under the one that says the document is loading. Just remove them all and find another way to give the user feedback.

14. Add icon for Adobe Fonts to Find/Replace and Preflight panels

    It would be helpful if you showed the Adobe Font Cloud icon next to the font name in both the Find/Replace and the Preflight panels. There have been several times when someone has used a non-Adobe font, and I don't see that the font has dropped until a PDF has been exported and compressed. Our printer only supports Adobe Fonts; however, there is currently no system for people to verify at a glance, and checking every font in large documents is extremely time-consuming.

15. Have a linked page display on a page

    IIt would be incredibly useful to display a page within an object on another page. This would also update automatically whenever the page updated and show up in the links panel like other links. You could then treat it like any other linked object by being able to crop, resize, etc.

    This would reduce the amount of exports and reimports and allow for greater flexibiity.

16. Switch between multiple links created for one project

    If you need to create multiple links for one layout, for example one for internal review and one for the client - how can you switch back and forth between them directly from the Share for Review panel in InDesign? Can it really be that if you create a new link (for whatever reason) you can never go back and update a link that has already been created?

17. Add support for language based typographic rules

    Each language has its own set of traditional rules related to hyphens, dashes, quotation marks, punctuation, hyphenation, spaces etc. Most of the rules are pretty simple and it is very easy to apply them using a list of search-replace sequences.

    To significantly improve the quality of typesetting, Adobe should provide users a tool to clean up texts (remove additional spaces for instance) and create output matching the style guides and orthographic rules.

    The rules should be defined for each language and/or region. There are different quotation marks in German used in Germany or in Switzerland; in French used in France or in Québec province; in Spanish used in Spain or on Latin America; in English used in UK or in US.

    This is a list of before and after examples based on US typographic rules:
    don`t > don’t (use of correct typographic apostrophe U+2019)
    me – or him > me—or him (use of em-dash without spaces or with thin spaces)
    Go. Go now. > Go. Go now. (remove extra spaces)
    "Hello!" > “Hello!” (use correct quotation marks)
    Dr. Newton > Dr. Newton (add nonbreaking space after academic titles)
    1974-2001 > 1974–2001 (covert hyphen into en-dash in ranges)
    20cm2 > 20 cm² (add nonbreaking space before units, use proper superior numbers)
    etc. etc. etc.
    My own list contains around 100 corrections.

    There are several existing solution for CMS based websites (typogrify, WP-Typography). There is a stand-alone tool Typopo.org https://app.typopo.org/. So there is a good fundament for InDesign as well.

    I think users in 21th century deserve a tool to improve the typographic quality of the texts in one click.

18. New Pdf notes, needs a tool to move them out of of the way when working. and needs to stop zooming out when you click on the note text.

    With PDF notes in indesign, the comment icon covers the spot that you need to make the changes. they need to be waaaay smaller or transparent or easy to move. and when you click on the comments to work out which comments are for what note icon, it zooms out rather than just panning to the icon. That would be fine, but when you have lots of stuff in the doc, indesign takes ages to zoom in and out.

19. Add an x to close out a color theme box easily like other panels

    Make it easier to close out the color theme box after using the color theme eye dropper tool. Currently, you have to reselect the color theme tool in the toolbar and press esc, which is not at all obvious, simple, or easy to remember.
