Rectangle frames that link to each other so images reflow when one is added or removed like text does in text boxes.
Please make rectangle frames able to be linked so images flow from one frame to the next like can be done with type boxes and text. I work on a 450 page catalog and sometimes there are images that get removed and currently we have to shift all of the images by hand. If the rectangle frames were linked we could delete an image and have the remaining images reflow automatically.

Better visibility for table border selection (Stroke panel)
When editing table borders in the Stroke panel, the small preview grid that represents the cell borders is very hard to see and use. The active line selection is indicated by a very thin and pale blue highlight, which is almost invisible on high-resolution or bright displays.
This makes it difficult to tell which borders are selected or to accurately click on them. The hit area for these lines is also extremely narrow, which further reduces usability.
It would be a major improvement if the highlight: had stronger color contrast or adjustable color (for example, a red or darker highlight),…1 vote -
Page blanche automatique dans un roman
Dans une mise en page d'un roman qui ne vient donc pas dans une fonction LIVRE, pas assez de pages pour cela. Il faudrait pouvoir configurer à l'intérieur d'un seul document que les pages où il n'y a pas d'objets, que les informations du gabarit n'apparaissent pas. Il faut toujours contrôler manuellement la mise en page pour changer le gabarit ou mettre un bloc blanc pour masquer. Ca serait pour faire comme la fonction d'ajout d'un page blanc dans la fonction livre, mais seulement en cachant automatiquement les éléments et que si une phrase est rajouté et se retrouve sur…

Notes de bas de page qui suivent dans un LIVRE
Créer la possibilité de faire suivre les numéros de note de bas de page d'un chapitre à l'autre qui sont regroupés dans un LIVRE, comme c'est le cas pour les numérotations de figuresç par exemple. Et également pouvoir faire suivre si la note est dans un bloc séparé, sans que les numéros recommence à chaque fois à 1. Pour les chapitres on peut le faire manuellement, pour les blocs différents à l'intérieur d'un chapitre c'est impossible à contourner le problème manuellement.

Better handling of vertical text on a path
I can't get proper spacing on a vertical list of numbers. inDesign is still treating the spacing as if it's horizontal. None of the 400 numbers are spaced properly. Unfortunately the customer has to use canvas to make it work. InDesign should do this easily and be able to use data merge for numbering.

Produce intuitive result while quad-clicking + pasting replacement text from external source into InDesign on lines with paragraph styling
Currently this behavior causes the pasted text to adopt the paragraph style of a neighboring paragraph instead of retaining the styling of the replaced paragraph. It is probably not a bug but a feature, I feel needs to be changed so it works more intuitively.

Please provide the ability to save a user preset File view
Please provide the ability to save a user preset File view. I am constantly having to click on List view and setting it to sort A - Z this is becoming cumbersome when trying to quickly navigate my files saved to web in InDesign and other CC applications. I've provided two screen shots. The first one is in grid view which is what adobe always defaults to. The second screen shot is how the view I always use that would be so awesome if it would save which view I am using so I don't have to change it every…

Copy-Paste takes very long
Kopieren und Einfügen von Elementen innerhalb eines Indesign-Dokuments oder zwischen Indesign-Dokument dauert sehr lange. Egal ob es große oder winzige Bilder, große PDFs oder einfach mehrere Textrahmen und Flächen sind: es gibt immer einen Lade-Ball. Dieses Problem besteht schön länger und ist mit einer früheren Indesign-Version aufgetaucht und seitdem immer so. Vor 10 Jahren war ich mit solchen einfachen Copy-Paste Aktionen deutlich schneller.

Add a Reference Point option when changing Document Setup
When changing document dimensions in File → Document Setup, there is no option to choose a Reference Point. This feature is very much needed — it would make resizing documents much more precise and efficient.
I truly don’t understand why this option still isn’t available. It’s an essential tool for accurate layout adjustments.

Make it possible to simply drag an image from Apple Photos into InDesign
Right now there's many steps required to add an image from Apple Photos to InDesign. You have to download all your images to a folder. Then you have to open the file directory from within the app and search for the image. If you're working with hundreds of images this process is very time consuming and is a real bottleneck.
What if you could just simply drag and drop? Please make this process easier and more intuitive.

Ability to sort swatches by most recently used
I have to scroll down a lot to get to the swatches I'm creating, so it would help to be able to resize the window or sort by most recent to the top.

Urgent: Flatplan workflow feature request for InDesign / Bridge (critical for all magazine publishers)
Hi Adobe team,
We’re honestly desperate at this point.We’ve been trying for weeks to reach someone from Adobe who could even acknowledge this topic — through enterprise support, admin console, chat agents, even our reseller — and it’s absolutely impossible.
It’s insane that even as an enterprise customer, we can’t reach a real product contact to talk about something so fundamental.
We’re part of BurdaMedia International (Czech Republic), publishers of ELLE and ELLE Decoration.But this isn’t just our pain — it’s something every single magazine publisher still using InDesign is facing.
There’s simply no native way to plan…1 vote -
Switching language resets preferences and breaks app recognition in Creative Cloud
I’m writing as an enterprise customer managing multiple Adobe Creative Cloud licenses across a multilingual team. We frequently switch UI languages and reassign machines, so consistent environment management is essential to maintaining workflow stability.
When switching InDesign’s UI language through Creative Cloud (for example, from Czech to English), all user-specific settings — workspaces, keyboard shortcuts, export presets, print settings, and scripts — are effectively lost.
This happens because each language version maintains a separate preferences folder (csCZ, enUS, etc.) with no migration or shared profile mechanism. After changing the install language, Creative Cloud also misidentifies previously installed applications…1 vote -

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.
