1. Differentiate Native Styles vs Styles that came in with copy/pasted text

   I would like for there to be some type of differentiation between Styles in documents when copy/pasting or bringing in new styles. Old styles get mixed up with new ones, some have the same names (body copy for example) so it's hard to tell which ones are from pasted copy and which are the ones I'm currently using in my document.

   Open to any format as long as the Styles from the original document are all in one grouping and any styles from Copy/Pasted text are in another distinct grouping. This could be done by folders, or color-coding, splitting the tool window, etc

2. Swap Dropper

   Instead of simply using the eye dropper tool to copy the style from one item to another, it would be cool if there was an option to swap the styles between the two items.

3. Multiple Image Export With Individual Names (JPG/PNG)

   I want to export several pages, all in different formats, as JPG or PNG, each with a unique and specific name.

   The 'rename multiple files' Tool don't work here, cause each name is completly different.

   Currently you have 2 Options:

   1. Export each page one-by-one and name the file right.
      (If you have over 20+ Pages, thats not fun)

   2. Export all pages in one go and then rename every single file.

   Update (Edit): If you gave each page with a new size individual name (for example names of the different master pages) you could use this when export so each file would get the right name.

4. Paste where you click

   When you copy an element and paste it with the shortcut Cmd+V, the paste is randomized.
   Would it be possible for this Cmd+V function to take into account the location of the last click on the work plan with the selection tool?
   For example, I want to place an existing circle that I want to copy to several locations. I could click exactly where I want to place it, do a Cmd+V, and it would be placed exactly where I clicked.
   This saves having to place it every time, especially if I have 20, 30 or even more circles to place on a page.

5. Under "help" there shod be an option to click on a question mark, and then to click anywhere with it

   Under "help" there shod be an option to click on a question mark, and then to click anywhere within the inDesign program, and it will give you a basic explanation of that feature/tool and what it is used for.

7. Add ability to convert a cross-document shared destination hyperlink to a regular URL without losing/re-entering the link

   FEATURE REQUEST

   In order to help avoid broken and/or inadvertent cross-document shared links, please:

   1. Add a function to the Edit Hyperlink dialog to CONVERT a hyperlink url currently shared from another document into a normal self-sufficient url unlinked from the source document. (Currently, making this change to a hyperlink requires the user to change the selection in the "Link To:" dropdown menu from "Shared Destination" to "URL" which clears the previous the URL, and then hunt down the source URL and manually re-input it.)

   2. Add the ability to apply this conversion to multiple selected hyperlinks at one time from the Hyperlinks panel.

   3. When PASTING content with shared hyperlinks from one doc to another, add a dialog step noting that the user is pasting a hyperlink shared from another doc, with the option to convert this pasted shared hyperlink to become self-sufficient (not linking to the source document).

   4. When packaging an Indesign doc, in the "Package" dialog, add the option of converting all links shared from other documents into self-sufficient links.

   5. While you're at it, please allow users to DESELECT "Shared Hyperlink Destination" by default when creating a new hyperlink, to help avoid the cross-document linking mess in the first place.

   EXPLANATION

   Shared Destination Hyperlink is a powerful feature that can be extremely frustrating when unintentionally applied across multiple documents. If the source document is ever moved or renamed, any shared destination hyperlink from that document in any OTHER document will break. And fixing the mess is a ridiculously arduous manual process. It's currently WAY too easy to unnecessarily create and propagate unintentionally shared-source links across multiple documents. Users would appreciate a little help recovering from or avoiding unintended cross-document links and the inevitable mess that results.

8. Keyboard Shortcut for Adopting Paragraph Style Sheets

   1. Using the text tool, click in a paragraph.

   2. Hold Option & Shift, then click a Style Sheet formatted paragraph

   3. The paragraph that had the text tool in it is now formatted to the [Option/Shift] clicked paragraph's Style Sheet.

   This is one of the most time saving keyboard shortcuts from Quark Xpress.

   This saves countless hours for anyone formatting text, albeit a tri-fold, or a 1,000 page catalog.

   PS: If you're going to mention Command/Return to bring up Style Sheets, this is not time saving. The user still has to scroll the curser around to select the Paragraph/Character Style Sheet, removing the time saving Keyboard Shortcut feature altogether.

   2. Hold Option & Shift, then click a Style Sheet formatted paragraph

9. Review pins hard to spot

   I struggle finding the pins associated to the comments in my designs.

   When working with huge very colorfull and image rich brochures the marked pin is very difficult to see a lot of times. Its really frutrating.

   I have two suggestions that would fix this problem.

   1. Don't zoom out the view by default when you click on a comment. This would solve my problem, as I would zoom in close on my page and then click the comment. But now it zooms out the view when I click on a comment.

   2. A quick animated arrow that points to the relevant pin and goes away after 0.5 sec. or less.

   Thanks. I can't do without the review-tool. Its awesome that you made it.

10. Make Table of Contents menu robust and intuitive

    Make Table of Contents intuitive. It's a powerful tool, and yet difficult to set up even for an experienced user. The navigate the setup menu is static but closes every time. The explanations are poor, and impossible to navigate without watching a bunch of tutorials (and the user manual is not helpful either). Because the layout formating is done in paragraph styles it's difficult to know what and where to change to get a specific result. This software is supposed to make creating a long document easy and yet formatting a TOC requires so much pre-knowledge without any directions in the menu on where to find that info. A menu window instead of a pop-up would help, with more context text to guide a user towards the proper places to set up formatting.

11. Easier Pasteboard Changes?

    I'd like an option or a tool to quickly adjust the pasteboard size. I use that area for working out different layout and content options, and I find it strange that I have to go into the preferences to make the area larger each time I start a new file.

    Need More Info  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

    Does changing the preferences when ‘no document is open’ help you achieve this? That way, you don’t have to do it for each new file that you start.

12. UI setting grayed out/can't use at necessary screen resolution

    I use a very large TV monitor, so I can see all my work, and as such, the screen res is higher, but your UI scaling feature is grayed out, and info says it's because of my screen res, so does not allow those settings. It's the only software I own that does not enlarge UI along with everything else. Do you not think that if we need a larger screen, we don't also need a larger interface??? We are not all squinting at laptops when we design books. As such, I can't make out the panel and menu options/ text. My eyes aren't what they used to be, and it causes lots of eyestrain and headaches (literally) and is the reason I stopped using ID years ago. I came back hoping that in 2023, they'd have fixed this, but NO. I pay for the use of Adobe products, and I expect them to be usable, and this is not the case with ID.

13. Disable support for authoring with Type 1 fonts

    I would like to request a solution to the problem with disable support for authoring with Type 1 fonts in January 2023 - https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/kb/postscript-type-1-fonts-end-of-support.html
    Our problem is that the company has thousands of indd documents that will reflect the change. All documents use the two complete font families and a few other fonts, but unfortunately even uploading new paragraph and text styles does not solve the persistent problem with some missing fonts.
    What would we need?A tool to preset that, for example, the missing font Frutiger CE 65 Bold will always and in every document be automatically replaced by Frutiger CE Bold, the font Frutiger CE 47 Light Condensed = always the font Frutiger Condensed CE Light, and so on. A utility that works without requiring manual intervention and assigning each individual font weight in each of those thousands of documents.
    Thanks

14. Feature Request: Apply Paragraph Styles to Non-Contiguous Paragraphs (Ventura Publisher-Style) Dear Adobe InDesign Team, I’d like to reque

    Feature Request: Apply Paragraph Styles to Non-Contiguous Paragraphs (Ventura Publisher-Style)

    Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

    I’d like to request a feature that would greatly improve workflow efficiency: the ability to select non-contiguous paragraphs and apply a paragraph style to all of them at once.

    This was a standout feature of the early Ventura Publisher, which used a structure-first approach—encouraging consistent use of styles over manual formatting. With Ventura, you could quickly tag multiple scattered paragraphs (like subheads or captions) and assign a style with a single keystroke. InDesign currently requires each paragraph to be styled individually unless using GREP or Find/Change.

    Adding this ability—perhaps via a paragraph tagging tool, enhanced multi-selection support, or scriptable UI—would save time, promote structured design, and benefit long-form publishers, editors, and template-based workflows.

    Thanks for considering,
    Mike Wiley
    InDesign User & Former Ventura Publisher User

15. Upsample Images on PDF Export

    DESCRIPTION:

    Indesign could offer the option of upsampling images to a specified PPI on PDF export. Rather than requiring the user to find each under-res image and manually destructively upsample each with a round-trip through Photoshop.

    Optimally, there could be a threshold setting below which an image resolution is too low. This could be either "effective" resolution PPI number threshold ("Upsample images with an effective placed resolution above 120ppi"), or a max scale percentage that would be needed to get the image up to the set output resolution ("Upsample images within 40% of target resolution." or "Upsample images by no more than 250%.")

    Export dialog could offer different options for dealing with grossly undre-res images or a global "low-resolution" preferences could be set to throw an error at the initial export command similarly to how it deals with missing or modified links.

    I understand that the Preflight panel is already designed to manage resolution issues. But I'm suggesting the option of a workflow where image upsampling happens only for a specific individual PDF output rather than permanently modifying linked source images.

    REASON:

    1. It can be time-consuming to review and override each error that a slightly under-resolution image will throw with modern highly-automated print workflows. (I mean, come on, can anyone see the difference between 280 and 300 ppi once printed? Of course not, but the press doesn't want the liability so throws automated errors if any image is even just 1% under the target resolution.)

    2. Sometimes it's necessary to use images that are not available at any additional resolution and require resampling to choose softness over pixelation. But it can be a nuisance to manage the multiple up-sampled assets hanging around after various uses ("Oh look! Here's a higher resolution version! Dangit, nope, it's just another upsample.") A source image would preferably remain at the actual original resolution since in most cases an upsampled image is made for a specific output.

16. Adjust text in frame to the right

    Text tool. If you have too much text for a text frame with a small amount of text (e.g. 1-10 words), the text frame should enlarge to the right instead of downwards by using the keyboard command cmd+alt+c.
    It would improve the workflow significantly, since you don't always have to drag the text box "right" again afterwards.

17. Collaborative Work + Multiple Users Opening the Same File Simultaneously

    We need a collaborative environment inside InDesign. We use InD for Proposals and document repositories. We have manually created a library of graphics and text that we use as standard content across multiple documents. We have a team that is constantly asking for access to the file. The lack of version history reverting and tracking makes this a nightmare on top of the fact that only one person can have the file open at a time. Then, you open it, and on PC it says its a read-only file so you have to save-as a new file name. Document integrity is lost regularly due to this. We work in tandem on certain documents and need to be able to see others' edits. have a comment panel, see version history, auto-save, and improve the cc library feature to be able to build an asset library that auto updates instances of items used from the library if edited anywhere else (like inCopy, but more for graphics and formatting saving as well)

    Please make InDesign team friendly

We have manually created a library of graphics and text that we use as standard content across multiple documents. We have a team that is constantly asking for access to the file. The lack of version history reverting and tracking makes this a nightmare on top of the fact that only one person can have the file open at a time. Then, you open it, and on PC it says its a read-only file so you have to save-as a new file name. Document integrity… more

18. Required Font Usage Pallet In Floatting with adjustable size

    The Font Usage or Find/Replace Font windows need to be redesigned as like link panel. This existing window/dialogue box is not user friendly.

    List of issues which has to be addressed:
    The windows is not sizable, so if we have a font with lengthy name, then some characters will be hidden at the end.
    We can only view 7 fonts at a time, so if a document uses more that this count. We need to scroll for long way and which is a tedious task. That portion of window should be sizable as like link pallet.
    Once we accessed the font window, we no more have the access to the document. We need a separate standalone pallet as like link or any other pallet.
    We need an option to insist InDesign to take the font from specific directory, so that we can maintain different fonts for each project. Indesign by default takes font from many of the locations. Especially, we should have an option to disable the Mac system fonts [Font Book].

19. Add macOS Core Image Filters as Native Object Effects in InDesign (e.g., Vibrancy, Gaussian Blur, Glass Distortion)

    Please add support for macOS Core Image filters (e.g., CIGaussianBlur, CIVibrancy, CIBloom, CIGlassDistortion) as native, real-time object effects within InDesign. These filters are already GPU-accelerated and supported natively by macOS. Tapping into this framework would allow InDesign to offer real-time visual effects like frosted glass, material-style blurs, and ambient glow — without the need to pre-render images in Photoshop.

    For designers: Effects like vibrancy, translucency, blur, and light diffusion are increasingly common in modern design — not just in UI/UX, but in packaging, promotional layouts, and publication work. These are time-consuming to fake using raster-based workarounds. Having real-time effects within InDesign (or even Photoshop & Illustrator) frames or shapes would be a massive quality-of-life improvement.

    For Mac users: Apple has long provided a robust framework (Core Image + Metal rendering) for these effects. Designers on macOS could benefit from faster rendering, live previews, and native integration — leveraging Apple's hardware acceleration and aesthetic standard directly.

    For Adobe: Rather than custom-building each new visual effect, Adobe could hook into macOS’s Core Image pipeline. That means:
    • Faster development cycle for new effects.
    • Free, ongoing updates as Apple adds new filters (via OS updates).
    • Exclusive or enhanced functionality for Creative Cloud Mac users — strengthening Adobe’s value proposition on macOS hardware.

    This could work by including a new "macOS Core Effects" section in the Object Effects dialog.
    Only visible when running InDesign (or illustrator/photoshop) on macOS (gracefully hidden or disabled on Windows).
    Non-destructive, toggleable effects (like Drop Shadow or Inner Glow).
    Optionally rasterized on export or flattening for cross-platform compatibility.

    This would create parity with Photoshop’s Smart Filters and Illustrator’s Appearance Panel but inside InDesign, and could expand the offerings within those other apps as well.
    Supports modern visual aesthetics like glassmorphism and dynamic lighting.
    Offers Mac-based design professionals more power, speed, and consistency without disrupting automation-heavy workflows (e.g., EasyCatalog, print pipelines).

    This feature would modernize InDesign’s effects toolkit, provide Adobe a scalable way to deliver more effects over time, and strengthen Adobe's integration with Apple’s hardware and OS capabilities. It’s a small change with high-impact potential.

    Thank you for your consideration!

20. Export to gif from InDesign - feature request

    PLEASE ALLOW EXPORT TO GIF FOR INDESIGN ANIMATIONS.

    I can't work out why this feature exists if we can't export it. I design google ads, web banners, EDMs etc in multiple formats with fast turnaround, in IND. But can't export a gif despite animations teasing me with all the cool things it could do.

    The best I can do is duplicate a page, flash something or duplicate 18 steps and export as jpg then stack & animate as frames in Photoshop (or create from scratch in Photoshop and use the comet tool, but that can be annoying to try to match perfectly or marry in with the other InDesign formats if designing an EDM) either option adds SO MUCH TIME.

    I'm aware of two dodgy ways to do this, one using an extension that isn't Adobe verified and costs more than my adobe suite COMBINED, which is already expensive. The other is to screen record it but that's tedious too, having to perfectly crop the screen recording isn't a great solution for high volume designs or multiple revisions.

    I got so excited with the new update toting new format compatibility, alas, this wasn't gif.
