2. Increase Search toolbar for link

   Please improve the SEARCH BOX for the link window.
   When I need to relink a missing object, the window that open have a very small search box. It should be more big, maybe twice the actual size. Thanks

3. Support Multiple PDF Preset Exports During File Packaging

   The Problem:

   Currently, when finalizing a project, designers must manually run multiple export cycles. We have to export a clean "Proof" PDF (no crops/bleeds) for client approval, and then a "Print" PDF (with crops/bleeds) for the press vendor. Doing this separately for every single job adds unnecessary clicks, wastes time, and introduces the risk of human error (e.g., forgetting to update one of the PDFs after a last-minute edit).

   The Requested Feature:

   Expand the "Package" dialog box settings to allow users to select multiple PDF Output Presets simultaneously via checkboxes.

   When the user hits "Package," InDesign should automatically generate all selected PDF presets and place them directly into the final packaged folder.

   Why This Helps InDesign Users:

   Efficiency:

   Cuts the time spent on manual file handoffs in half.

   Accuracy:

   Ensures both the proof and production PDFs are generated from the exact same state of the layout, eliminating version confusion.

   Streamlined Workflow:

   Makes file packaging a true one-click solution for production artists.

4. "Print Booklet" needs option to export to pdf instead of just postscript

   Print designers need the option to export as print spreads, which is currently only available as a postscript file. Adobe's distiller is no longer up to the task of easily converting files to pdf, plus it's an extra step that should be built in natively to InDesign. Yes, many printers do this after receiving your file but some print shops ask for print spreads to be delivered to them. This should have been baked into a print layout program from the beginning.

5. Split “Hyphenate Across Columns” into Separate Options

   Please split the current Hyphenate Across Columns option into separate settings:
   - Hyphenate Across Columns
   - Hyphenate Across Text Frames
   - Hyphenate Across Pages
   - Hyphenate Across Spreads

   These are different typographic cases. In many layouts, hyphenation only needs to be prevented across spreads, sometimes across pages, while it should remain allowed across columns and text frames.

6. Add Keep With Previous/Next Rows to Cell Styles

   It is often necessary to keep a subtotal row together with one or two preceding rows, or to keep a subtitle/header row together with one or two following rows.
   This is already possible manually via the Keep With option in Cell Options, but having it available as a Cell Style option would make table formatting much more efficient and consistent.

7. 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 colors).

   A first viable compatibility step would be for InDesign to export CMYKOGV in PDF/X-3/X-1a as 4C + spot color plates, since FOGRA 55 is based on FOGRA 51.

   The obvious missing piece is for InDesign to actually support CMYKOGV, which in itself is going to be quite a journey as the color model is everything but intuitive.

   Maybe the use of an exchange color space (CMYK or RGB) that maps 100% to the gamut of CMYKOGV and is only separated on export (or for separation preview) would be the way to implement that in a way that users will actually be able to deal with.

   Right now I have a project, which would usually be done in offset printing given the scale, but for DTP color gamut reasons will probably have to be done in digital print. It's rare to have the issue that you have the technical means to get it printed, but lack the means to create the preprint files these days.

   There are sketchy workarounds, such as providing preprint files where some objects are defined in RGB color spaces, then get it proofed using 7c target and hope that the printing shop will actually manage to convert the RGB objects into 7c the right way.

9. Is there a way to make “long text variables” wrap automatically?

   Is there a way to make “long text variables” wrap automatically?
   Sometimes I encounter very long chapter titles, and when using variable headers, they don't wrap automatically. Is there a good solution for this?

   Currently, all the text is crammed into a single line.

10. InDesign Document Icon Previews in macOS Finder

    Hi. Please, can we have InDesign files in MacOS Finder show the document preview. See attached screenshot for exactly what I mean.

    I have relied on 3rd party developers over the last 10+ years (ArtView and inddPreview.app) to provide this essential feature. Unfortunately Apple has dropped support for legacy plugins (so called Quick Look generators) so inddPreview.app has stopped working.

    I have over 15,000 InDesign files, and to now do what is usually a quick visual finder search is impossible with the Finder only showing the generic InDesign Document Icon. (Yes, I can use Bridge, but this is a clunky workaround for me)

    .psd files have finder document previews
    .ai files have finder document previews

    Why not InDesign?

    The 7 year old Feature Request with 180 votes is marked as Solved but only the 'QuickLook' part was added.
    https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/33291841-indesign-preview-for-finder

    Attached image: Left, how the finder looks now, on the Right, how it needs to look , please :-)

11. Integration of AI Text Generator in Adobe InDesign

    If InDesign had an integrated AI text generator, it would be wonderful. Having the ability to correct texts, check spelling and grammar, rewrite something that doesn't sound right, and so, would be a powerful tool for those of us working in editorial design. I think this feature is a no-brainer for a program like InDesign, but since Adobe doesn't have a text generator (that I know), we haven't seen it yet. Dreaming is free! I believe it's an incredible function, and it would be fantastic to have it in the future. Fingers crossed!

12. Allow inserting symbolic footnotes (e.g., asterisk *) without affecting numbered footnotes

    In many types of publishing—especially academic, religious, and literary works—there is often a need to insert symbolic footnotes, such as a single asterisk (), double asterisks (*), dagger (†), or other custom characters, without affecting the numbering sequence of standard footnotes in the document.

    Currently, InDesign only supports one unified footnote style per document, which means that using a symbol instead of a number affects all footnotes globally. This makes it impossible to add a single symbolic note while keeping the rest of the footnotes numbered.

    Feature Request: Please consider allowing users to insert a one-time, manually defined footnote symbol (like a star or dagger) alongside normal numbered footnotes. This could be implemented as:

    A "custom footnote marker" option when inserting a footnote

    Or an "inline note" feature with a customizable reference marker and body text

    This flexibility would be highly valuable to book designers, editors, and academic publishers who frequently need to use both symbolic and numeric footnotes in the same document.

    In InDesign, you cannot directly customize the right-click context menu to add specific commands I use often — Object functions like 'Corner Options....' or Links functions like 'Relink Image...'. Customization to the right-click context menu like this would help to increase workflow speed for users.

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. Footnote Numbering Across Independent Text Frames

    Currently, footnote numbering continues only within threaded text frames. It would be extremely helpful if footnote numbering could optionally continue across separate, unlinked text frames within the same document. This would allow for more flexible layout designs without breaking numbering consistency.

19. A preset to limit your FONT view to preferred language, such as the one chosen by OS/region.

    I have to use Noto Sans; Its required by my work at my University.

    Is there a way to limit your font view to preferred language chosen by OS/region. My font menu is a mess of languages and it's hard to navigate to choose just "Noto Sans." Try it... really.. Try and Type "Noto Sans"... I never get the one I type it's always one of the other languages versions.

    • So when a user choose their working language, InDesign offer them the right set of font.

    Font lists are wayyyy tooooooo long to contain all the wolds languages by default! Let me have a shorter list, this should be an easy fix!

    You would make lots of people happy!

20. Please stop Find/Change Font defaulting to Minion

    Please please please stop defaulting to Minion in Find/change fonts. I know this has been suggested, but this is a constant annoyance! Can someone at least make this intuitive and default either to the main font of the document or the font family that needs to be changed. This could be an option within the tool.

    For instance, if the offending font is, say, Adobe Caslon [nothing], it stands to reason that the user might want it to change to a valid Adobe Caslon. Not that this is certain, but it's likely. So if the suggested font is in the Adobe Caslon family, it's quick and easy to change it.
