1. Fix 'manual bookmark' position

   I'd love the ability to fix the position of a manually created bookmark in relation to all the TOC bookmarks which are all in the same panel, so that they don't shift around every single time you update the TOC. It is frustrating to have to move them around in a 80+ page document.

   Alternatively, would love to be able to easily stop a specific bookmark from appearing in the automated TOC but allowing it to appear in the interactive PDF.

   Finally, I'd love the bookmark palette or interface to be bigger, it's a little painstaking to try to drag & drop them to correct places as the scrolling view has a mind of its own sometimes.

   Thanks!

2. Print Layout Stacking (as it is in CorelDRAW)

   Imposition control from the Print dialog box (as it is in CorelDRAW) would be a massive time saver for those of us in print shops. I am an Adobe user in a Corel shop and I've been (slowly) working on converting them to Adobe, but this is one feature that keeps the owner going back to Corel for most everything he designs, simply because of the imposition features.

   I'm sure everyone would be happy with this feature.

3. Add Haitian Creole as an option in the list of languages when creating 508 compliant PDFs. Our business markets to that community.

   Our company markets to South Florida communities that speak Haitian Creole. Having that language as an option when creating 508-compliant PDFs would be extremely beneficial.

5. 3 new features for web address problems - a major problem in modern textual books

   In textual books there now can be hundreds of web addresses used within the text and references. There is a major problem with them in the fact that in justified text they can cause:
   (a) widely spaced lines
   (b) InDesign can insert discretionary hyphens to try to split the address to make the word spacing better (which means that when printed the web address would be wrong for the reader as it has hyphens that shouldn't be there).

   The only workaround at the moment for this is to remove the discretionary hyphens by either hitting a return in its place, or inserting the Discretionary Break character to help InDesign find places to break the web address.
   These, however, are not work arounds because the Break character or return means that in a PDF the link will not work as it sees these characters even if the reader doesn't. Even if you use the Hyperlink Panel in InDesign you would have to remove any discretionary hyphens or break characters from within the Hyperlink panel window for it to work.

   All this is extremely time-consuming.

   SOLUTIONS
   (1) New Website Character Style. If InDesign could have a special character style for web addresses so that when applied it would mean that no discretionary hyphens can appear, but the web address can split on any character.
   (2) New Website Break Character. If InDesign could have a break character for web addresses that is not seen by Acrobat or the Hyperlink Panel in InDesign so that you can split websites wherever you want without them losing their link in PDFs.
   (3) When a web address is very long and goes over several lines, it means that there will be lines with no word spaces. InDesign does not know what do and it will leave the lines short. If the Web Address Character Style could also feature a way of making the lines go to the full text measure but without too much letter spacing or scaling would be a big aid too.

   If the above solutions were made there would be no more problems in InDesign with web addresses. Remember that web addresses are being used more and more in books and interactive PDFs and this problem is only going to get bigger and bigger.

   Please could you find a solution if you don't like mine!

6. How about fixing InDesign’s Export to EPUB tools?

   How about fixing InDesign’s Export to EPUB tools? Sure, you can convert an InDesign file to EPUB, but it really doesn’t do a complete job. Hanging indents and alignment of lists come in in a very spotty way. The alignments and spacing to hanging indents don’t hold. And then, while straight Roman text converts fairly nicely, when there are switches to italic or boldface text the type tends to get all scrunched up and is not at all presentable. I thought the best part of the ongoing subscription model was that fixes to issue would be forthcoming in a much, much quicker manner than with software updates every year or so. For the most part that’s true. But the continued messy results I mention for the conversion process from InDy to EPUB really needs to be fixed. It’s taking away from InDy’s reputation and use as a professional design and layout tool. I understand that hand-coding CSS can prob’ly remedy this, but I’m long past the stage where I’ve kept up any semblance of coding skills. I’m semi-retired and don’t think it’s too much to ask that InDesign get with the program. (Sorry for the bad pun!)

7. No transition effects to assist loading pages with identical backgrounds.

   By default Publish online introduces a fade on page load even when there are no transitions applied in InDesign. This interferes when you use multiple pages to spoof the appearance of navigating within a one-page environment.

   When I export to PDF the background isn't redrawn so the appearance of the linked page appears smoothly. Publish Online is clunky when loading the next page as it momentarily goes black and then fades-in the page items.

   A bit of background .... I've created a page with a number of rollover buttons, then a duplicate of that page which is navigated to (x10) upon click release, to act as a navigable table of links for sections of a company assessment with one of our clients.

9. Scaling Text in InDesign

   I would like to suggest an improvement to how InDesign handles text scaling. Currently, when I scale an object containing text, the visual size of the text changes, but InDesign still shows the original size in the text panel, displayed in parentheses. This forces users to go through several complicated steps to make the scaled text size permanent without showing the parentheses.

   It would be incredibly useful if Adobe could implement a simple feature where the scaled text size is automatically updated to a permanent size, without needing to create outlines or perform manual recalculations. This would streamline workflows and give users more control over their design elements.

   What could be improved:

   • Scale text to a permanent size, not as a transformation, without the need to use "Create Outlines."
   • A simple function to convert scaled text to a permanent size without parentheses showing in the text panel.

   I believe this would make InDesign even more efficient and user-friendly for designers, improving workflows for those who often work with scaled objects containing text.

10. rename character and paragraph styles using a batch renaming feature

    It would be incredibly helpful if we could rename character and paragraph styles using a batch renaming feature, similar to what is available in Bridge. This would be especially beneficial when creating accessible PDFs through a Book file. When the same style names appear across different files, it causes tag issues during export via MadeToTag, requiring manual adjustments to all the styles. Since we frequently work with a variety of documents, this process becomes quite cumbersome over time. Thank you so much!

11. Change label for "Use Document Bleed Settings" to "Use Active Document's Bleed Settings"

    When exporting a book under Export Adobe PDF > Marks and Bleeds > Bleed and Slugs, it would be helpful (for other users to avoid the frustration of learning the hard way as I just did) to know that this setting uses the active document's settings rather than each document's respective settings (Guessing this is a limitation with how PDF is constructed, otherwise is this perhaps actually a bug?), or if no document is active that it will apply all zeros.

    The latter was the problem I encountered and was not expecting, as every document in my book has the same bleed settings (as I assume is the case for most users). Because I happened to have a document open for the last hundred or so exports I became accustomed to this feature setting bleed as expected, and so this was no longer on my manual checklist and consequently didn't realize the bleeds were set to zero until receiving my print proof (as I knew this was likely my final export I started to tidy everything up including closing all my active windows).

    Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, otherwise I think there's a very simple change that could be made that might save others this potential frustration, which is to merely change the checkbox label to "Use Active Document's Bleed Settings", and ideally disable the option if no documents are active.

    Thank You.

    Edit: Perhaps a bug after all, or at least related to one?... now when I use the setting, with an open document (which has correct bleed, and whose values are entered into the four disabled value inputs), the export still has no bleed. Setting those same values manually worked. Maybe just get rid of this feature (the "use document bleed settings" checkbox)? Cheers.

12. Collaborating on translating

    Hi everyone! First I have to say I love all the new features that are slowly being integrated into InDesign. But in all my honesty I really miss one..

    We now can enjoy Share for review which I really love on getting comments from my clients. But what I would love to have is a online tool where my colleagues can enter translation for the file I worked on. Now I export files to pdf and make them in to a word file but that workflow takes a lot of time.

    I know tools like redokun.com but they are expensive and have limited page restriction for the smaller account.
    So like an online tool like share for review would be great for my colleagues that don't now how to use InDesign...

    With kind regards,
    Martin from the Netherlands!

13. It would be helpful to see how many tracked amends are in an InCopy file and PDFs of the InCopy amends

    It would be helpful to see how many tracked amends and a break down of the type of amends eg. 7 insertions, 12 deletions etc. in InCopy and PDFs of the InCopy amends. Like you can do in Microsoft Word.

    This is something that would be very useful for our company.

14. Request: Optional Horizontal Page Scrolling (Book-like Viewing) in InDesign

    I mainly work on book and magazine design.
    I would like to request an option to view and navigate pages in InDesign using horizontal scrolling, similar to the experience of reading an actual book or PDF spreads.
    Currently, InDesign’s vertical scrolling workflow makes it difficult to grasp:
    page rhythm and pacing
    the relationship between facing pages
    the overall structure of a book as a physical object
    For editorial designers, books are fundamentally horizontal sequences of spreads, not vertical documents.
    When checking layout balance, typography flow, or visual continuity, vertical scrolling creates a disconnect from the real reading experience.
    If users could toggle between vertical and horizontal scrolling modes, it would greatly improve:
    spread-based editing
    proofing and design decision-making
    alignment with how books are actually read and reviewed
    This would be especially valuable for professionals working in editorial, publishing, and book design.
    Thank you for considering this request.
    Best regards

15. Make embedded video readable in Adobe Reader as before

    For many years InDesign has given us the feature to embed video in PDFs. We built a business round this format. Now, with the demise of Flash Player, all our ebooks with embedded video (not Flash content) are not usable by the customers who have bought them over past years, all round the world. We pay no small sum to use InDesign and CS. You have given us this format, which still exists, yet you won't update Adobe Reader with a media player to play the resulting files. How difficult can this be? Other formats exist, yes, but none of them do the same job and they all have problems either with monetization or delivery, so we as a business are in a catastrophic situation. Shame on you Adobe for abandoning your customers of so many years. It makes no sense on many levels, including marketing. Adobe Reader with a media player creates an entry point to Adobe products for many people. You are so missing the point here.

16. InDesign Encoder

    Hi fellows and Adobe Community?

    I work every day on Adobe softwares like Photoshop Illustrator InDesign and also on Premiere Pro and After Effect.
    Today, I would like to point something and I let you join this conversation and leave comments.

    One thing I really appreciate with Premiere and After, is that I can still work on my projects while I'm exporting videos or animations in Media Encoder. One thing I don't really like using InDdesign, is that when I'm doing an export file, PDF or JPG or whatever, I cannot keep going work in InDesign.

    Hey Adobe crew. Is there any upgrade or development scheduled for InDesign to implement the same kind of extension as Media Encoder is for Premiere and After?

    This would be really nice to put the files we want to export, in a list and keep working on our other projects.

17. Nesting bookmarks trought multiple files within an InDesign book

    I would like to be able to nest bookmarks by creating, for example, a nest of bookmarks in one file and then in another file (which is still part of the book) using the same name assigned to the bookmark nested in the previous file, so that I can continue to insert content within the same nest.
    The result would be = 1 large group containing all the bookmarks I am interested in.

    This could be done by taking a cue from the variant/variable renaming system that currently exists in Figma.

    For example, if I want to put the bookmark ‘Spruce’ in the ‘Trees’ folder (which is, however, in a different file within the InDesign book), but at the moment I am in a different file, if I write in the rename space: Trees/Fir, InDesign creates a group between the two and when I export the pdf file I already find the bookmarks ready to be clicked on.

18. 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.

19. Cover page for printing book should have their own setup by default to reduce confusion

    I having issue seriously with page numbers. If its 38pp but in my pages box, shows 34pp example. Why do i need to get confused here?

    I think indesign perhaps should have an option where I can right click and say page 1 and 2 is the cover, than the last two page is also a cover. Page number doesnt change, instead, right click and select it as book covers and boomz.

    So confusing when i exported it shows 34pp in pdf preview, and indesign shows 32pp. So yeah. That could be one feature adobe team can seriously look into. Instead of renaming the pages, why not FC is for front cover etc.

    Why i suggest? Because i forget my indesign show 30pp but actually front cover and inner front cover is 1 and 2, and my third page was renamed as page 1, did this so the page numbers start as 'pg 1' etc on page 3. T_T Confusing. HAhaha. Sorry but yeah. Hope this help.

20. Bug: XML w/Images Export (filename)

    Just discovered during XML w/images export that ID is converting images w/spaces in filenames to underscores (causing mismatches, XML itself is correct) — is this a bug? Using ID 13.0.1

    Btw - I know this is a feature request post, but I can't find an easy way to submit bugs!
