InDesign 22.0 (Beta) is now available

Hi Nicky. I have no money and went to cancel my indesign and was told there was an early cancellation fee of $140. I called an agent and spoke to a man who said he would waive the fee. He said he was doing it right then. An email came through confirming the cancellation. Adobe then went ahead and tried to charge my card 3 times AFTER they did they had waived the fee. I'm on hold. I've tried the chat. They aren't answering any avenues they've made available. I want to know how I lodge a refund for this amount

Can’t seem to install the latest beta. Get 403 error and “Installation failed.” Tried uninstalling older version, and even installing older version, but no go. Any ideas? 

Follow-up:
Resetting the Creative Cloud app (Mac: Cmd + Opt + R) resolved the issue.

I have had so many issues with Indesign these last few weeks, I end up force quitting multiple times a day. My command Z stopped working, my magnify glass turns to the grabby hand, my zoom stops working, etc etc etc. I cannot tell you how much these are extremely frustrating types of bugs that slow my work down and make my day harder.

I love indesign. I understand the position Adobe is in right now to try to add AI tools or feel obsolete. I know people vibe coding the entire creative suite is a scary thing. it is a confusing and scary time for designers too.

Please, are you able to fix the bugs AND work on AI items? Not just throw AI things in there and hope for the best? 

 

Please, Adobe — can you be a little smarter in this era?

The impact of AI on the creative industry is already huge. At a time like this, could you please give those of us who have supported and loved Adobe for so many years a better user experience?

For years, we still haven’t been able to properly switch between multiple languages when editing text in a multilingual environment. And once we change the application language, our keyboard shortcuts stop working consistently.

For example, InDesign is in Chinese, Photoshop is in English, and suddenly the shortcuts don’t work the way they should.

We live and work in an international design environment. Multilingual workflows are not some rare or complicated edge case anymore — they are simply part of how designers work today.

So what are we supposed to do? Uninstall the software, reinstall it in another language, and then uninstall and reinstall it again whenever we need to switch?

And we’re still paying a monthly subscription for this.

Is that really reasonable in 2026?

Adobe, please. We’ve supported you for years. We want to keep loving your products.

Please give designers the basic respect — and, honestly, the last bit of dignity we deserve.

It’s great to see InDesign continuing to evolve with new beta updates and features for designers.

The AI Assistant is really frustrating so far.

I tried it with an easy task: Starting with a blank document that had 0.5” margins all around on a spread, I asked it to change the inside margins on the A-Parent spread to 1”.  Every single time it changed the left margin on each page to 1”. It doesn’t seem to understand inside and outside margins. I eventually got it to work by asking it to do one page at a time, but it shouldn’t have been that tough.

Using the demo document, I asked it to make a paragraph style using the selected headline text. When it did, it did everything correct except it removed the all caps that had been applied. I had to try again asking it to ‘make a paragraph style while preserving the current font styling’ to get it to preserve the all caps.

I like the promise of the AI Assistant, but getting it to do something simple takes more time than doing it manually. Until I can trust it more, I can’t trust it with an entire document.
