1. InDesign Encoder

   Hi fellows and Adobe Community?

   I work every day on Adobe softwares like Photoshop Illustrator InDesign and also on Premiere Pro and After Effect.
   Today, I would like to point something and I let you join this conversation and leave comments.

   One thing I really appreciate with Premiere and After, is that I can still work on my projects while I'm exporting videos or animations in Media Encoder. One thing I don't really like using InDdesign, is that when I'm doing an export file, PDF or JPG or whatever, I cannot keep going work in InDesign.

   Hey Adobe crew. Is there any upgrade or development scheduled for InDesign to implement the same kind of extension as Media Encoder is for Premiere and After?

   This would be really nice to put the files we want to export, in a list and keep working on our other projects.

2. Export selected pages

   I very frequently need to export only certain pages to PDF. I know I can type a range or multiple ranges. But it would realy speed up my professional work if I could just select the pages and hit 'Export selected pages...' in the contextual mouse menu.

   This feature was present until CS6 by a plugin named HandyTools by DTP Utils.

3. Improve InDesign Accessibility Export to PDF

   ARTICLES AND LAYERS
   When the logical reading order is set in Articles, it would save time if Layers could replicate the same order, whether it’s automated or if there was a way to select “Use Articles reading order for Layers.”

   TABLE STRUCTURE
   Set header scope for both columns and rows in cell properties in InDesign.

   Simplified complex table structure.

   FOOTNOTES
   Set the hyperlink and correct tags when footnotes are referenced in tables.

   More layout flexibility would also be helpful.

   ALT TEXT
   Adding Alt text to hyperlinks

   PATHS
   Paths not included in Articles should remain artifacts. If that’s not an option, maybe a “Find and Artifact” option would be helpful.

   LANGUAGES
   We have a legal statement translated in multiple languages. Currently, only 9 of the languages we need partially export to PDF. It would save a lot of time to have the language codes added in the Content properties automatically included in the Tags properties. We’re currently typing them in both places manually.

   Thanks for your time!

5. PDF text box cannot have the option of a "comb of characters".

   PDF features - The text box in indesign cannot have the option of a "comb of characters". Also can we maybe be able to format these text boxes in InDesign rather than having to do it in Adobe Acrobat Pro.

6. Changing pdf preset should reset page range to 'all'

   Unfortunately InDesign remembers page range setting even when changing PDF preset from dropdown list in Export dialog. It would be awesome for page range to reset to 'all' when choosing another PDF export preset. I don't always remember check the range and have to do the pdf file twice. Not the major problem, but a little improvement :)

7. Scheduled Export & Scheduled Export Queue

   Sometimes with larger documents, Exporting can slow down Indesign, or can even render my computer useless at this time.

   It would be a great option to be able to schedule the Export option for a time of my choice (at night when I know I wont be using my computer for example) as to not slow the computer down when I need to use it most. I envision the file still needing to be left open in Indesign for it to schedule and export correctly... But what I imagine is you would still choose all your options and everything as per normal, and only right at the end you select a 'Schedule Export', with a calendar like function, (Potentially limiting the user to schedule within 24 hours perhaps?).
   I can see this helping someone like myself, where an export can render my Graphic Design abilities useless for an hour or more as my computer has limited capacity and tends to chug when a large export is in progress. A Schedule function would mean I could leave the exporting until say... Lunch Break and when I get back, the exports could be completed by then.

   A STEP FURTHER would be Scheduled Export Queue, with a dialog box panel of Queued Exports, and the ability to rearrange the order of documents, and even a button to 'Export Now', when you are suddenly needing that exported document straight away (would be completed after a 'in-progress' export has completed)

   Hope this makes sense.

   Thanks,

   Tom

8. Multi Export

   An export option that would allow the user to select multiple options for exporting their document, in one simple 'Multi-Export' option.

   An idea of how this would look could be in the 'Export' dialog box, the user would be able to check a box that would enable 'Multi Export'. This would mean you can choose multiple methods to export in one easy opportunity in the Dialog Box. An example of this would be;

   I, the designer or user of InDesign need to send a client a Medium Resolution copy of the file before we hit print, but I also want to export the Print Ready document straight away, along with a Web Quality version to go up on their website.
   This would enable a designer or whoever to export (for example) a Proof of a document to send to the client, PLUS a Print Ready Document, PLUS a Web Ready document as an example, all in one go so to speak.

   Please see attached document to fully visualise my idea.

   Thanks

12. Rework overhead size to reduce pdf file size

    Please fix the pdf file sizes created from overhead. For example, I think, this is created when a document has many tables (and cells) in it. I can create a text file, with zero pictures, no pixels, just vectors (the text), and the pdf proof (lowrez) size is huge! It should be about 800k, but it's at almost 10 megabytes! The only way around this is opening the pdf in acrobat and optimizing it to reduce it to the expected 800k size, which, sometimes, leads to text disapearing, but that's another issue.

13. Preserve filename on PDF export

    This is a common issue having looked around the internet for a solution...

    PDF export uses the name of the file up until the point where a user changes the name of the PDF before export, then saves the file after the export is done. That changed name is then written into the file and used as this is the expected behaviour.

    However, this becomes an issue if you are repurposing the same artwork at different sizes (for example) where you have to manually override the filename on each export.

    It would be great if a future InDesign build had a checkbox to PRESERVE THE FILENAME on export thus improving workflow and productivity in busy studios where work is time critical.

15. More options when creating Forms via InDesign

    InDesign has a few features that make it possible to export an interactive PDF-Formular directly from InDesign.

    This CAN save a lot of time when customers require changes on these Files but sadly InDesign is missing out a lot of features that Adobe Acrobat has - even though it'd be a lot easyier to set everything up in InDesign.

    So in my opinion the Formular menue needs some improvement and get more functionality (In Acrobat you can define a font VS via InDesign you can't) since more and more customers request Interactive PDF-Forms etc.

    It would be valuable to us because we have to edit every file we create after every change just to make those adjustments that can't be done via InDesign yet.

    Thanks :)

16. The option to remember PDF export settings on a document by document basis

    Currently InDesign remembers the PDF export settings across the program which is good but we have to export either print or interactive based on the file. It would be really useful to have the document itself remember the settings so we don't have to keep changing back - often forgetting and sending clients print PDFs where they should be interactive.

17. PDF conversion retry

    In InDesign CC, when you export a file as a PDF , but you previously just exported that same file as a PDF and still have it open, you get an error message saying: "Cannot save to the file [filename].pdf, because it is already open." I would like that dialog box to have a "Try Again" option.

    Right now I have to click "OK", close the PDF, then go back through the exporting dialog box. The "Try Again" function would allow me to just close the PDF then just click "Try Again", which would use the same settings I just chose. This would thus skip having to go through the Export dialog box, saving a step.

19. A pdf setting that allows me to Set the "opening view" properies of a pdf from indesign

    Allow setting of the PDF "opening view" properties on creation instead of after creation.
    When I send a proof, I want my customers to see the pages panel, and view the files at a specific size and layout - Doing this has saved thousands of cock-ups - unfortunately it has cost me hundreds of hours doing the same thing over and over.
