GPU Acceleration on Windows is available with the latest InDesign 2025(v20.4.0.052). Please update to the latest InDesign via the CCD app to get this feature.
The minimum system requirements for using GPU Acceleration on
- Windows are: Monitor with a display resolution greater than 2K
- GPU card with at least 1GB vRAM.
Note on GPU Acceleration: High-resolution monitors are becoming the standard. With the high monitor resolutions, it is getting difficult for the CPU to handle the rendering. This is where the GPU comes into play. Rendering on high-density displays is best handled by the GPU. GPU acceleration makes the rendering of the documents faster while zooming, scrolling, and panning. The enhanced performance from using the GPU in InDesign powers features like Animated Zoom, which make zoom actions smooth and animated.
Based on our internal tests, we found that GPU acceleration provides better performance when the monitor's display resolution is…

I'd like to see this implemented as well. William's link is quite nice and explains things I wasn't aware InDesign could do because of how cumbersome working with tables is; however, it fundamentally does not provide the exact functionality of a background image which would allow the cell to simultaneously contain text that isn't fighting with the image, anchor points, etc.
You can do some pretty interesting things with diagonal lines and custom stroke profiles, but that only gets you so far and it's not particularly intuitive either.
In my use case, I'm preparing a calendar with overlapping solar and lunar month numbers. When the month changes, I like to have a subtle indicator. Unfortunately, due to complexity, layering is pretty much the only means of coherently managing everything that goes into the calendar, but InDesign already slows down so much dealing with tables, I hate adding another one for something as subtle as a graphic backdrop.
I should also mention that I would prefer not having individually linked/embedded images because of the sheer madness if I needed to replace the graphic and updating potentially hundreds of links would be problematic, not that it's difficult, just disconcerting and error-prone. Having a single reference point in the cell style would be so much less of a hassle.

Would love to see support for pattern fills added to InDesign.
I'd want it to be implemented as an object "effect" like how you can add color, gradient, and pattern overlays to a single layer in Photoshop via the blending options, each with independent offset, scale, rotate and blend mode settings.
It seems odd that InDesign is like 80% there with feature parity but missing those last really flexible options. What's really nice is that Photoshop recently (relatively speaking) added the ability to add more than a single instance of layer effects. Obviously, it can lead to some very messy situations, but with care it could be very powerful, like adding a super light noise pattern to another texture. (Although for some reason Photoshop doesn't allow more than a single pattern overlay... odd choice to limit that one.)
Anyway, InDesign seems to be straggling a bit and if Adobe is looking for some simple features to add, this seems like it would be a great addition that adds a ton of flexibility to our design options.
