Easier way to maneuver through different opened documents
I often work with multiple documents pulled up at once. It is difficult to maneuver through them when they don't all fit on that top banner. I wish I could have certain folders for certain projects.

color replacement
I received a file from a client created in InDesign, and the following issue occurred: the text was in CMYK colors, and we needed to convert them to Pantone. However, when replacing the CMYK color with the corresponding Pantone in the color palette, the text shifted, as shown in the attached video.

DATA MERGE - Multiple or Single Page Import from Ai or PDF
I would like to be able to import multiple artboards or pages from an Illustrator file or PDF document when using Data Merge.
For example:
Column K
@Images
R:\Customer\SALES ORDERS\SOnumber\Working\01-0001.ai:1 ( Design to be printed in Artboard 1 )Column L
@Images
R:\Customer\SALES ORDERS\SOnumber\Working\01-0001.ai:2 ( Spot colours listed in Artboard 2 )I use Data Merge for creating Prepress proofs for large orders, and we have to show the design to be printed and the spot colours used on each document.
The issue is that InDesign won't list the colours used per page only per document, so my solution is…

[ID-4274540] Support for JPEG XL (.jxl) import/placement
Dear InDesign Team,
Please add native support for the JPEG XL (.jxl) format in Adobe InDesign.
While JPEG XL is already supported in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, InDesign currently lacks the ability to place or export .jxl files. With Apple now using JPEG XL as a standard for ProRAW (starting with iPhone 16 Pro) and its superior compression and HDR capabilities, it is becoming a critical format for high-end publishing and photography workflows.
The lack of support forces users into unnecessary conversion steps (to TIFF or PSD), which increases file sizes and slows down the workflow.Key benefits for InDesign…

Alternative to GREP: keywords
Grep styles are incredibly useful to use, and I use them very frequently. However, sometimes I would simply like to apply a style to a long list of keywords. To illustrate an example, I like to apply a style to game terms when writing for TTRPGs.
This is technically doable via Grep but quickly becomes unwieldy when the list of words is long. I would love some way to include a large list of words and automatically apply a character style to any word that appears in that list. Alternatively, a way to quickly copy all grep styles from one…

Establish a display of current baseline grid “increment every ##pt” and also a link to change in the paragraph styles menu.
I teach design at the Univ of MN. I stress the importance of utilizing baseline grids, but students are constantly confused how to establish and modify them despite my best efforts. For how vital baseline grids are, the modification of their settings seem very hidden with the settings panel. Also the language surrounding baseline grid is vague — align to grid could mean the square grid, the column/margins grid, or the baseline grid.
By establishing a display of the current baseline grid settings in the paragraph styles (indents & spacing), a more obvious connection to that grid would be created.…

Option to get different metadata from link
I frequently use Illustrator links in InDesign templates and label the frame with metadata such as the filename. While it's possible to import a specific artboard from .ai files, only the artboard number is displayed. I also need the actual artboard name. This would significantly simplify the execution of the subsequent script, ensuring all export data is captured correctly.

Adding Uzbek spell checking / hyphenation
Hi, InDesign team! I'm coming from Uzbekistan, we build various NLP solutions for Uzbek (spoken by 40 mln people around the world). Recently we made an add-in for InDesign that handles hyphenation and spell checking for Uzbek. However, it's still an add-in, so we have to update its versions over time – we wonder if it's possible to add this feature to InDesign itself so this language will be native in newer InDesign versions.
We're open for any type of collaboration, we'd be very glad if you add our language into the program, we can provide all resources and models…

Enhancement for Check Spelling Functionality
If you could please enhance the Check Spelling option by incorporating features akin to those found in the Find/Change button, it would greatly improve user experience. Specifically, having an "Ignore/Include Masters" button during the spell check process would be particularly beneficial. This addition would allow users to seamlessly choose whether to disregard or include master elements in their spell-check sessions, thereby providing more flexibility and efficiency. Such a feature would streamline the editing process, especially for those working with complex documents, ensuring that they can focus on the necessary corrections without disrupting their workflow. Your attention to this enhancement would…

Support for CMYKOGV (eg. FOGRA 55)
Certification was completed back in 2021 after conclusion of a FOGRA research project. The color exchange profile (ICC) can be downloaded from the FOGRA website.
In essence expanded (or extended, varies by publication) color gamut offset printing is the idea of increasing the color space of CMYK using 3 additional colors (orange, green, violet).
CMYKOGV as characterized by FOGRA 55 is proofable using Epson SureColor printers (P7570, P9570).
I have seen several printers already offering 7c offset print. These days it's basically to cut down on cost (to achieve almost complete Pantone coverage without having to resort to actually spot…

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.

Ribbon and tab interface
I would like to express my desire to have the current menu bar replaced with a Ribbon and tab interface, similar to what is found in Microsoft Office 2016. I believe this new design would significantly enhance efficiency and usability. The Ribbon format organizes commands and tools in a way that is much more intuitive, allowing users to access the functions they need with ease. Instead of navigating through various nested menus, which can often be cumbersome and time-consuming, the Ribbon provides a clear and visual way to find and use features. Overall, I think this change would greatly improve…

Create a tool called Work Checker.
I propose that the developers create a tool called "Work Checker." This tool would feature a screen where any design with multiple pages could be presented like a video. The "Player" should offer adjustable speeds to navigate through the pages. What would the benefit be?
This tool would allow us to compare our layouts in a "spatial" way, making it easier to ensure that the elements on each page maintain aesthetic coherence throughout the entire piece. It would also help identify any "jumps" in elements that disrupt the overall design aesthetic.

Match Page Navigation When Comparing Two Documents Side-By-Side
It would be helpful if page navigation in one document could be matched in the other when comparing two documents side-by-side, i.e., when comparing two versions of a document.
As it is, it's necessary to navigate, i.e., page-down, in one document then click on the other document and repeat the navigation. As there's no key command to switch tabs/documents/windows either, it's even more unproductive.
Having the option to make the other document in the 2-up arrangement match navigation would improve productivity greatly.
