1. Link comments to text as well as to physical location in graphics frame

   This could be viewed as a bug report, from the user's perspective. And I am a user and not a coder or designer for ID (though I am a UX dweeb.) However, from a coder/designer standpoint, this is a feature request, thus posting here rather than as a bug.

   The feature is to link comments not to an x,y location on a spread, but to (1) an x,y location within a graphics frame, or (2) for a text frame, to specific text in that frame. Linking to text can be by highlighting the text and then attaching a comment to it. (Deleted text that was highlighted could leave the comment at the place where it was deleted; attaching the deleted text to the comment automatically would be great but hard to code.)

   The reason for this is that if you add text or move graphics frames around and then, in the Share for Review Panel, click Update Link, your pins or lines don't point to the original material anymore, and all of those comments on that first version don't make sense any more.

   As Alan Cooper pointed out in his About Face 1.0, it is important to conform the user interaction design to the user's mental model. My mental model when I started using Share for Review was that I could edit the document, click Update Link and the existing comments' pins or lines would still connect to the text and graphics, not to an x,y position on the original spread. Maybe for a graphics-intensive single-page ad this would make sense, but not for a magazine article or book chapter, which, after all, is mostly what InDesign is about.

   I would suggest an immediate fix to this mental model/implementation model conflict by changing the Update Link button so it archives the original document on the server, with the comments still linking to the (right) original text and graphics, presenting the user with a URL for that, and then putting the new document up at the original URL without any of the original comments, but with a link to the original document/comments.

   This would allow time to develop the code to link better to text and graphics within their frames.

   It would require a bit of help in the interface for users to develop a mental model of how this works, but would be worth it.

   Thank you for listening (reading).

2. Improve handling of font files by consolidating and normalising fonts internally

   Font handling for multiple font file types is broken: if a given typeface represents weights using font files of different types, then different parts of InDesign will handle the font differently. Nowhere will it appear as one family with all weights below it. Because the presentation of the problem is significantly different between InDesign subsystems (paragraph style setting and setting font from the tool bar, for example) this might indicate refactoring is in order to ensure all subsystems handle fonts the same way.

3. More options when placing multiple images in a grid

   It would be great to have more options when placing multiple images at once (shift-command). Currently, the default is a 9x9 grid. What if we could change the default to whatever we wanted – one long row, for instace. And what if we could preset distances between the images and orientations? I'm asking because this tool isn't that functional, as I need to adjust the image box sizes after positioning. I don't always need a 9x9 grid, nor have 9 image. It would be a great time-saver for heavy-production projects, like image-intensive books.

4. Option to draw a text frame on top of another text frame

   Making a new text frame on top of an existing text frame is something I very frequently need to do. However, as it is, for different reasons this simple process is needlessly cumbersome.

   I have two suggested solutions (I have a dream that both could be implemented, and make a basic upgrade to my workflow):

   1. Make the type tool able to draw a text frame on top of another text frame. Explanation: When hovering the type tool above an empty area, the tool turns into a text frame tool, as indicated by the cursor. However, when hovering above an existing text frame all you can do is place the text cursor – no way to make a new frame, unless you switch to the frame tool (see below). But could the ‘text frame tool’ could be invoked by a modifier (alt, fx?), to make it possible to draw a text frame on top of another? (When hovering above text, the alt-modifier is already (somewhat, in theory) occupied by the hand tool. But using alt to invoke the hand tool is erratic: it only works when you are editing text, and not before the text cursor is properly placed, so I always use alt+space instead for the hand tool. Before placing the text cursor, pressing alt currently does nothing. Suggestions for other ways to achieve the same are of course welcome.)

   2. Make the type tool stop ignoring empty, unassigned frames that sit on top of text frames. Explanation: When using the frame tool to draw a new frame on top of a (bigger) text frame in the background, and you try the normal way of converting the frame to a text frame, by selecting the text tool and clicking inside the new frame, the new frame will simply be ignored: The type cursor will be put into the text frame beneath. The solution is to first manually go to the Object menu and select Content > Text for the new frame, before clicking inside it with the type tool. But this seems like an unnecessary step. If the new frame has any kind of color or stroke, the type tool correctly does not ignore the new frame, this only occurs if the new frame is completely empty, and it seems like an oversight. There are workarounds, like locking the text frame beneath, or using layers, but all this is needlessly cumbersome for a function that for me at least will be used multiple times a day in multiple new documents.

5. Add comments from InDesign to reviewer using Share for Review

   It seems like owners of documents can only reply to existing comments made in the Share for Review document but can't create comments in InDesign that appear in the Share for Review document. Often, we have a question about text or images that the reviewer needs to answer, but we have to first Share for Review and then create the comment there. It would be great if we could convert InDesign Notes to comments for the reviewer that they can see in the Share for Review side panel.

6. New way to select individual text characters by marquee or dragging a box etc.

   Text selection via marquee like the lasso tool in Illustrator or photoshop. This would select individual characters in live (not outlined) text for formatting just the selected characters in interesting ways. This also helps to select a column if you are working in tabbed text rather than text in a table. Also, picture a large body of text where you could highlight say a circle for instance in the middle and make it a bolder font. There used to be a plug in for Quark that did this exact thing.

7. the ability to assign direct keyboard shortcuts to Character Styles, just as we can with Paragraph Styles

   I’d like to request a long-overdue feature that would significantly improve efficiency for many users: the ability to assign direct keyboard shortcuts to Character Styles, just as we can with Paragraph Styles (Apply Style 1–9).

   Why this matters:
   In many editorial and layout workflows, character styles (like emphasis, inline bold, or language-specific styling) are used just as frequently as paragraph styles.

   The current workaround—creating scripts for each style and manually assigning shortcuts through the Keyboard Shortcuts panel—is unnecessarily complex for a feature that feels fundamental.

   This limitation is particularly frustrating because character styles are already present in the UI, and the keyboard shortcut field is even visible in the style editing dialog—just grayed out.

   Suggested Implementation:
   Allow the first 9 character styles to be assigned shortcuts (like Paragraph Styles 1–9).

   Or provide full shortcut assignment per character style directly in the style options.

   Display any conflicts or warnings if a shortcut is already in use, as with other customizable commands.

   Why now:
   Modern workflows demand speed and flexibility.

   Many designers rely on styles to maintain consistency across documents.

   Competing software and plugins are beginning to offer more fluid control over styles and shortcuts.

   Thank you for all the continued improvements to InDesign. This change would be a small tweak with a big impact for everyday users.

9. Pressure Sensitive Brush Pen (Vector brush to use with pressure sensitive pens)

   Many professional artists use some sort of pressure sensitive pen like Wacom (Cintiq) or the much cheaper and equally good HUION tablets).

   InDesign has a vector pen tool, with which professionals can write, scribble, design and create personalised unique graphic images, with a freedom that no other text/font ever can proviude. But this vector pen tool does NOT support pressure sensitivity.

   Enabling pressure sensitivity (think of it as a simplified Brush Pen tool of illustrator) will allos professionals to directly in our most beloved favorite design program!

10. Edit ALL gaps in a selection.

    It would be super helpful if you could edit ALL the gaps in a selection of objects with the gap tool, so matter the layout. See attached example of boxes – would be amazing is you could select and edit all gaps with the gap tool, perhaps with a new keyboard shortcut? That is all, thanks in advance! Anders

11. rotate item to match angle of another object, line segment, or curve point (add this to illustrator too please)

    Fairly frequently as part of manipulating objects and graphics I need to rotate an object to align with the angle of another item or line segment. This is time consuming currently as I have to create a new orthogonal line, align it to touch a point on the reference object and then rotate both the new line and the other object with a set rotation point until the 'smart'guide' tells me ive intersected the reference line with my rotation. It would be much easier if rotation had an additional tool or in-guild feature where you could rotate an item - with reference to - the angle of a line segment or point on a curve.

13. alignment and custom footnotes etc

    I would like to see some more feature as described below, so this powerful too will be a step ahead for an Advance Page Layout tool. Here are some of them:

    1. Some custom footnotes so can can add daggers and other symbols exactly like MSWord not the current features. This should be like first symbol, then 1, 2, 3 etc.

    2. Customizing Text box sequence so it will be more intuitive for numbering figures. Think about I've add 100 of figures numbering text box using numbering features, then at editing page need to rearrange/adding/remove some figures, in this it won't work until rearrange text box. It'll help some kind of features to rearrange text box etc.

14. CMD+CornerRotation unsed, idea: Rotate around anchorpoint

    While rotating an object with the default tool (not the rotation tool), the CMD-key is unused.

    shift+rotate = rotate in 45° steps
    alt+rotate = rotate and make duplicate
    shift+alt+rotate = rotate in 45° steps and make duplicate

    cmd+rotate => rotate around the anchored point
    cmd+alt+...
    cmd+shift+...
    cmd+alt+shift+...

    You get the idea.

15. Highlighting Currently Edited Document In Book

    on to Hello there,

    I edit two copies of a book open at once, each one a different format. If you look at the picture you will see what the two books look like in the books editor-kind of. I am migrating one copy of my book from A4 to ePub for Kindle (why don't you support the .mobi Kindle format or get Amazon to write a plugin for the purpose? I am forced to use Word to write a kindle book). The file are in two different folders. The files have the same name for each book.

    It would be really useful if InDesign highlighted the document in the book panel that I am currently editing. Especially, if you are editing over 30 documents per book.

    I also might have imagined this, but if you have two files open from two different books that have the same name, when you save one of the files, it saves the other file with the same name. This is very "dangerous". I had made edits to one file that I wanted to keep and edits to the other I did not. InDesign saved both files even though only saved using the menu. The result is that it trashed one of the files by putting tentative but major changes on n on top of what was a completed document that I effectively wanted to roll back to-I did not want to keep the changes.

    Thank you
    Mike

16. Online publishing and interactivity needs importvments

    1- make it responsive so it will fill in the screen
    2- add navigation (TOC) on the side
    3- better way to mange multiple publications, possibly folders..
    4- Adding custom URL, for example: Comapnyname.com/issue 01
    5- Allow publishing from another adobe ID, this would be great for teams so the publication isn't tied to one person. Maybe the publishing can be directly in the dashboard, for example: user login into the dash board, select new publication or exciting one, the click publish to get indesign file to be uploaded or opened on the computer and automatically published. this way we are sure the person own the file!
    6- The interactivity panels needed to be improved and account the complexity may have, mabye we can have Interactive Styles panels, copy/past interactivity?
    7- an option in in-design settings, where everytime user add link, it will automatically copy it project folder, this cab be turned on and off
    8- make all indesign cash/backup files, located on the local machine to speed up the work on server.

    Thanks

18. Idea to create a simpler way to type on path with ellipse / circle

    I wish you could create a better and simpler way to type on path, especially on ellipses / circles. It's SUPER difficult when you have to work with multiple lines in a circle, like we used to on a CD for example.

    My pitch:
    What if we could treat typing on path like a text box? So you draw the ellipse / shape from the Type on Path menu, and the text automatically gets treated as if Typing on a line / shape?
    And when you press Return, it behaves like it would in a paragraph (text going to the next inner line), but within the shape. And you can even adjust the line spacing. Take the ease of the radial repeat tool in Illustrator, and add it to this tool.

    It's type in a textbox, but applied to Type on Path. See screenshots attached.
    And selecting the object: Only the text is selectable, and the lines of the ellipse is "invisible." You have to click on the visible text of that shape to edit / move it.

    And when you double-click on that text, it still behaves like Type on Text, until you "expand" it... But you won't have to continuously lock and unlock loads of circle paths anymore. What if you only have to select the text, and not the shape? Wouldn't that be simpler and more efficient?
    This was an okay solution for 20 years, but it's time for an improved way, Adobe.

    This whole idea eliminates the annoying task of having only a single line of text on a path, and accidentally selecting all the other circles to get to the desired text.
    This way would be so much simpler.

    I wish you could create a better and simpler way to type on path, especially on ellipses / circles. It's SUPER difficult when you have to work with multiple lines in a circle, like we used to on a CD for example.

    My pitch:
    What if we could treat typing on path like a text box? So you draw the ellipse / shape from the Type on Path menu, and the text automatically gets treated as if Typing on a line / shape?
    And when you press Return, it behaves like it would in a paragraph (text going to the… more

19. See Page Content Order and Structure Types (as in Acrobat) in InDesign

    The InDesign/Acrobat accessible PDF workflow is a nightmare. Fixing reading order and tags in Acrobat is one particularly frustrating aspect of that nightmare.

    It would be very helpful – and a major time-saver because of these issues in Acrobat – to be able to see Page Content Order and Structure Types, as displayed in Acrobat when the Reading Order tool is active, in InDesign so that issues can be resolved BEFORE export to interactive PDF.

    A much more productive solution would be to have live updates in Acrobat as changes are made in InDesign. I'd be seriously impressed if you could get that to work. Forget rubbish AI-generated cartoons and concentrate on more practical issues, please. Improvements in the InDesign/Acrobat accessible PDF workflow are long, long, long overdue.

20. Flag Adobe fonts in document as "Mandatory: Use TypeKit"

    We have multiple versions of fonts available in our environment (Type1, TT, and access to TypeKit) so having the ability to indicate specific fonts as "Mandatory use from Adobe Fonts/Typekit" would be helpful. In essence, the user wouldn't have to manually activate/deactivate to achieve the correct combination of fonts.
    For example, the user may have Proxima Nova family Type 1 active, but the document correctly shows the TypeKit fonts as missing. They then activate their TT family, which also fails. They tend to not think of Typekit as it's not searchable in our font management tool.
    Using the Document Fonts folder can help in this arena, but it won't help with AdobeFonts/Typekit fonts, and other issues creep in.
    Font mangers, like Extensis Suitcase and FontAgent, don't seem to consistently recognize the availability of an Adobe Font/TypeKit font.
