[ID-4214608]Page numbering of last pages not visible when View Pages is set to Horizontal in Pages panel.
When the pages panel is filled up vertically with the pages, and when the panel is set to "View Pages > Horizontally," the panel does not scroll all the way to the bottom, and the page numbers of the bottom pages are cut off.
This is easily reproducible in any new document with reset InDesign preferences.

Better Text Box Controls
Could the in port and out port boxes be shifted slightly away from the bounding box corners? They’re currently positioned very close to the resize handles, which makes it harder to resize text frames — a much more frequent action than linking text.
While you're at it, please expand the interactive area around bounding box handles so the cursor stays in Scale mode slightly farther from the corners, reducing accidental switches to the Rotate tool when resizing objects.

Game
En cherchant un nouveau site de jeux en ligne à tester, je suis tombé sur plinko app et j’ai découvert qu’ils offrent des bonus exclusifs pour les joueurs venant de France. J’ai commencé par la roulette, juste pour voir, et après quelques tours tendus, j’ai décroché un joli gain. Depuis, c’est devenu mon petit moment de détente quotidien, parfait pour mêler frisson et relaxation après le travail.

[ID-4261684] Hang when "How likely are you to recommend INDESIGN" dialog appears at startup
Twice now, I have started InDesign, opened a book, opened a file from the book, and pressed command-F to open the Find dialog. The Find dialog opens, and I begin to type. Then, the "How likely are you to recommend INDESIGN" dialog appears over it, and the cursor (and my typing) goes to that dialog instead. The spinning beach-ball appears, and InDesign is unresponsive; to recover, I have to force-quit the application.

Outer Edge Bleed Option for Facing Pages
Description:
InDesign currently applies identical bleed settings to all four edges of each page, even in facing-page layouts.
For publications such as magazines, catalogs, and books, the inner (spine) edge bleed between facing pages is unnecessary and can cause issues in visualization, export, and imposition.Feature Request:
Add an option in the Document Setup and Export Settings to enable Outer Edge Bleed mode.In this mode, bleed is applied only to the top, bottom, and outer edges of each spread.
The inner edge between facing pages would have no bleed, resulting in a cleaner, more accurate PDF output that reflects…1 vote -
Accessible alt text for hyperlinks needs to be supported by scripting
With InDesign scripting, it's possible to search for "searchTerms" from one column of a tab-delimited file, then set corresponding hyperlinks from another column. This means I can set hundreds of hyperlinks in just a few minutes. However, it remains impossible to set the hyperlink's alt text with a script — that function isn't scriptable. So either I ignore this important accessibility requirement (not an option), or I still have to manually edit each hyperlink, one at a time, wasting many hours and introducing the possibility of errors on each one.
For example, a document contains hundreds of product numbers or…

Adobe InDesign 2024 and 2025 crash when pasting certain string into text box with particular font
Hi, I’m a type designer and font delveloper (for more than 20 years) and have made a custom font (Latin) that makes extensive use of the Contextual Alternates feature (calt). Let's call the font FontXyz, it’s an OpenType CFF font (.otf).
These are the steps that always cause InDesign to crash
1: Text cursor is in an empty text box where my FontXyz is already set
2: Pasting the string “1234,-”
3: CrashI can prevent the crash by:
a: Putting my cursor in between two spaces and then pasting the string “1234,-”
b: Pasting the string without the “-”,…2 votes -

Critical Request: Disable Mandatory “Save As New Document” Behavior in Latest InDesign Versions
Dear Adobe InDesign Team,
Since the introduction of the most recent InDesign update (version 19.x and onward), our team has experienced a disruptive new behavior: InDesign frequently requires us to save working documents under a new name, even when opening files that have not changed location, permissions, or ownership.
This behavior appears arbitrary and is not user-configurable. It breaks a long-standing professional workflow and creates significant confusion due to the unnecessary proliferation of duplicate file versions. As a result, our team faces increased risk of:
• Publishing or sending incorrect versions of documents to clients
• Compromising file version control…1 vote -
Footnotes display spanning columns correctly, don't print across both columns
First time I've had to use the footnote options in InDesign. I have several pages with footnotes which occur at the bottom of each page in each associated text block. Span across columns is checked in both the Footnote Style I created, as well as in the Layout options. The footnotes display correctly on screen as intended. (See second screenshot)
When I print spreads from InDesign to an Epson P5000, the footnotes only print the text that is under the lefthand column. All of the footnote text on the right disappears. (See first screenshot)
Exporting the pages to a PDF…

Horizontal scrollbar in Adobe Preview is hard to find.
My clients are complaining that when they enlarge the page view in Adobe Preview, they can't see half the page and don't see a way to scroll to it. The problem is the slider at the bottom of the browser window doesn't appear until you hover over it with the cursor - and once you do, it is very shallow and hard to click on, especially for older clients with less than perfect vision.
Could this not be made visible once the view is enlarged, and make it a bit thicker so less nimble hands can click on it?1 vote -
mass update of path for links in InDesign document
If you need to update the link on an InDesign document you have to manually go into the folder system and find the link, so it is only ever effective when you have all the links in one folder. This is detrimental to saving space in a workplace where you may want to use the same asset in different types of publications. In the Maya application from AutoDesk you can instead manually edit the text for the filepath, or even, change it to absolutes like $user$ which makes it far easier for sharing projects. Please can you enable this feature?

InDesign window doesn't automatically scale when switching between laptop and an external monitor, and application screen goes blank
This issue has been posted before, with no solution. Ever since one of the more recent updates to InDesign, the application window no longer automatically scales to fit the screen when connected to an external monitor and, when it's connected, the application window is blank—showing only the pasteboard color across the whole application window.
So you have to hit the "+" to expand the app window to the full screen area, close the file window, and reopen the file in order to work again.
Similarly, if you hit "Shift + W" to view Presentation Mode, the application window always re-acquires…1 vote -
dialogs dont appear infront of main app window - appear behind it would seem
The dialog boxes don't appear when expected, (I think they are behind the main viewing window of the app) until i do a 'mission control' on the trackpad and then release it - then the dialog box appears. It's not handy at all and I only found out by accident as the box can sometimes appear on the laptop screen and not the secondary bigger screen i use.
