1. Import a multipage PDF into existing graphic frames

   I need to be able to set up a document with graphic frames, then import a multipage PDF using a script which places each page into each frame. When the script encounters a page not containing a frame, it will miss it out and place into the next available frame.

2. XML Enhancements

   InDesign is having huge XML limitations, even we cannot handle below mentioned basic options:

   (1) Find and Replace the XML Tags with / without Parent XML Tags
   (2) Find and Replace the XML Attributes based on the selected XML Tags
   (3) Converting the selected contents in InDesign into XML Comments
   (4) Copy and paste the contents directly in InDesign from any XML editors without losing XML Tags and XML Attributes
   (5) Show all selected XML Tags with relevant page numbers with link to locate the contents

   Much more…

   If Adobe is start thinking on improving / breaking these requirements, will be much helpful to handle XML first workflow projects easily within InDesign.

   @ALL: if you agree, please vote for this idea.

3. Place Photoshop artboards into InDesign

   We need to be able to place Photoshop artboards into InDesign.

   This should work similar to placing Illustrator artboards or placing pages from a PDF or another InDesign file.

   Thanks.

   In Backlog  ·  Anonymous responded

   Thanks for the info. This is indeed correct that since the various artboards come in as a layers the dimensions are of the entire document which can be problematic. Adding this to our backlog.

4. Please allow font size larger than 1296 pt

   I often have to create large posters with a single 3-digit price and 1296pt font isn't cutting it. I have to outline and then enlarge which is a pain when changes need to be made but it i also cannot standardize this element with a style, master page or template. Same for illustrator.

5. Fix the display of "selected" pages in the Pages pane

   When the editing pane has focus, the "selected" page in the thumbnails should be the one where the insertion point is sitting (unless there's a selection that crosses the page boundary). Currently, the Pages panel inexplicably selects TWO pages whenever the insertion point is placed on a page (when using spreads). This creates problems when the user is working on the right page, and performs certain actions like starting a new section.

   Currently, that section will start on the wrong page; because the Pages pane has selected the left page as well as the right, the new section will start at the left page, instead of where the user actually invoked the command (on the right page).

   Auto-selecting the one page where the user places the insertion point would not preclude anyone from clicking on multiple thumbnails in the Pages tab and performing actions as they do now. When the user clicks back in the editing area, the pages pane would return to highlighting the page containing the insertion point as the selected one. This behavior already exists, but it's just erroneous and absurdly inconsistent: If you select three page thumbnails, and then click back in the editing area, the selected page thumbnails will indeed change... oh, but only if you happen to click on a page outside of the selected collection. Otherwise, nothing happens.

   And there's another problem, AKA another selection: There may be yet another selection highlight, on a parent page... which has nothing to do with either the editing pane or the page thumbnail that's also highlighted. That should never happen. With both child and parent pages shown as selected, what will the next user action apply to? He doesn't know.

   In summary, it's a very simple fix: When the user places the insertion point on a page in the editor (or the editor regains focus), select that ONE page in the Pages pane.

6. Apply Master Pages Across Multiple Documents in a Book File.

   I use Book Files quite often in my job to create catalogs. These catalogs have multiple sections. It would be nice to be able to set up master pages one time that could be shared for all the documents that make up that book. Kind of like applying the same exact character or paragraph styles across multiple docs.

7. Add "redefine style" button

   I, and probably many other users, often use the "redefine style" button in the various style windows (mainly paragraph and object styles, but also character style etc.).

   This is a very visual-centered iterative process, with a lot of tweaking, refining and tweaking again. And the "redefine style" is a key component in that process.

   It should be reduced to a single click of a button, instead of right-clicking and choosing it from the menu - just as "clear overrides" has a button of it's own.

   I've added the current paragraph stye menu, and an updated one with the dedicated "redefine stye" button!

   Thank you :)

8. SVG Export

   InDesign should be able to export either entire pages or selections into SVG. The JavaScript for exporting SVG is crap. The export should also include the fonts as well as checkboxes from forms. Form fields are not supported in most of the plug-ins. SVG is a very important standard. We used ist for maps, layouts etc. shown as small preview e.g. the cover of a book, forms, adverts etc.

9. Find/Replace Font

   I have replaced the Type 1 font that is used in almost all my documents with the True Type version. It would be helpful if the "replace with" option in the "find/replace font" menu would list the most frequently used substitutions.

10. Better UI scaling option

    The only way to adjust the UI size in Indesign is to change the scaling for your whole system, and even then it only supports up to 200% scaling and there is no way to make it bigger beyond that.

    I got a new laptop with a HD 4k screen and its already scaled to 250% (I'm using Windows 10) but the user interface is still too small and it really slows down my workflow. Even if increasing my OS scaling to 300%+ fixed it (which it doesn't), it would still be infuriating to have everything on my computer scaled that high all the time, or have to adjust it every time I wanted to use the program. You shouldn't have to change the scaling for your entire system to make this program usable.

    I just don't understand why a professional-grade product doesn't account for high-resolution screens, or even include a simple in-program UI scaling slider or option.

11. Text Variables in Floating Window/Pod

    Text Variables needs a dockable window/panel/pod. Pull defining new variables out of the Text menu and put it in a panel that we can access without having to drill down through the UI.

    Having Text Variables available in a panel in this fashion would let us place the cursor, double-click to add a variable, move the cursor via arrows and double-click the next variable. We would also be able to click several variable in a row without having the laboriously drill down through the UI to get to the list. This is very frustrating when you have several dozen variables that need to be placed.

    Even making the Text Variable definition window non-modal would be an improvement, but seeing the list broken out into its own panel would be a huge improvement.

    Oh, and let variables break across lines. Duh, right?

12. Ad the possibility to have Paragraph Style add a break before or after

    In many cases, I want a break after or before a Paragraph with a certain style. e.g.: a chapter heading often needs a Page Break before.
    How convenient would it be when this is integrated in a Paragraph Style!

13. Plug-in API to temporarily disable new feature guided tours

    InDesign 2025 has several new panels (History, Math Expressions, Export to Adobe Express, Insert MathML) which have associated guided “tours” which bring up windows containing animation and/or an explanation of the new feature and how to use it. The menu items for these new panels that have available guided tours are indicated by a blue dot next to the menu item before the guided tour is viewed by the user. After the guided tour has been viewed, the blue dots next to the menu items seem to disappear. These new panels and their associated guided tours sometimes open without the user choosing the related menu item. We have already reported a crash that our InDesign plug-in is having related to the History panel and our plug-in's undoing of named command sequences (bug #ID-4252030). Adobe Developer Support's solution to that issue was to have our plug-in close the History panel (using its actionID) before starting our process. We added code to close the History panel if it is open, but what we are seeing now is that the History panel can start off closed at the start of our process but then it opens with the guided tour window during the process. Rather than having our plug-in constantly checking whether the History panel is open, it would be useful to have a plug-in API that temporarily disables the automatic opening of new feature panels and related guided tour windows.

14. Implement Function "Lock Styles"

    It would be very helpful, time and costsaving if there were a function to "lock" e.g. all paragraph-styles. Subsequent all modifications in paragraph-styled-textes are only allowed by using (also locked) text-styles.

    In Addition to that it should be possible to lock the complete "CTRL+T" menu in order to avoid any "uncontrolled modifications".

    All meanderings/abberations in textes are mostly caused "by mistake" and it takes hours of hours to correct (and proof!) this in documents an big books.

16. Add more (EU) Blank Document Presets like A6, Square

    I don't understand why we're still limited to A4, A5 and A3, but other common sizes like A6 and A0 are missing. Same goes for social media sizes. Making our own presets would be a solution if we were able to arrange the preset order. Please add more options and/or make it easier for us to arrange our new document screen.

17. Add a counter symbol similar to the "current page number" marker.

    It would be very useful to be able to insert a special character (similar to the "current page number" marker) that makes a digit counter, starting with 1 and then iterating upwards for each time it's inserted.

    I know there's a workaround to sort of do this with numbered lists, but that's very limited, especially if you want the counter anywhere except the beginning of a paragraph.

    I'm currently working a book that has many images with captions, that ends with the number of the image, like this: "Lorem ipsum dolor… [15]". If "15" where a simple character that counted upwards that would make it so much easier in case the pages get moved around.

18. Add New Stand-Alone Styles for Tracking Changes in Layout View

    There are times when I need two lines of text to stay in a frame/page. I can do this manually, but I get overrides. I could accomplish this using paragraph styles, but globally it would impact other frame layouts; or result in many more paragraph styles (I already have over 40 for long documents). I could do it using character styles, which I do, but then I lose other necessary character styles like italics applied to a book title.

    If we could have a separate Style for 'tracking', kerning, character spacing, character width, etc. it would. be so helpful.

20. Allow Author to mark comment as complete without removing the reference.

    Currently, if I (the author) mark something as "resolved", it removes the comment and prevents the person who created the comment from being able to easily see what they have done and how it was resolved.

    it would be nice for people invited to review to see what past comments they have made (maybe grey out a comment that is marked "Resolved" so that they can go back to that page and see. Then, if it is not done to satisfaction, they could un-resolve it.
