Dear Adobe InDesign Team,
I would like to request the addition of a “Fit Text to Frame” feature in Adobe InDesign. This is a critical functionality for desktop publishing professionals who frequently need to ensure that varying text lengths fit within predefined text frame sizes. As someone who regularly performs data merges, I often have to manually adjust multiple fields with overset text, which significantly slows down my workflow. A feature that automatically reduces the text size to fit the frame would greatly improve efficiency.
It’s clear that this can be done—Id-Extras has offered this as a $69 add-on for some time now. The existence of such third-party solutions underscores both the demand and the feasibility of implementing this feature natively within InDesign.
I have noticed that this feature request has been suggested by many users for years, yet it remains unaddressed. Your own feature request page emphasizes that Adobe values customer input, stating: “We do, however, read each and every message... Your comments, suggestions, and ideas for improvements are very important to us.” I urge you to prioritize this feature, as it directly impacts productivity and aligns with the needs of many users in the design and publishing community.
While new features like MathML support have their place, addressing long-standing requests like this would make a far greater impact on the daily workflow of users like myself.
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to seeing continued improvements in InDesign.
