Disable PDF export override
Administrators should be able to disable PDF-export overrides. By doing this, during the export pdf process, users should only be able to select a PDF-export preset, but not be able to change the predefined settings.

Interactive PDF Formulas
In Acrobat it is possible to set up simple math formulas such that when a user fills in a box, it auto fills some other boxes. Why can't I just do that in InDesign?

Repair Print Booklet please
Anyone finding this post will have the same question: why is it so hard to create an imposed .pdf in InDesign? Is it due to license wars?
I know, there is a workaround via .ps and distiller, but this fails, since there is no flexible generic ppd available. If your home printer only prints A4, you are not able to create an A3 .pdf to print at a printshop. Insane.
Please, Adobe, bring (back) this functionality to create imposed .pdf's at any size with the Print Booklet function, even when no printer is available.

Flat PDF made of JPGs
It would be useful to have an option to export PDF in which every page is an image file (JPG or Tiff or...). I would appreciate this because I usually send some draft to my customers and they simply open the file with some PDF editor (or Illustrator) and make changes by themselves.
To prevent this, I just export in JPG format (instead of PDF) from Indesign and then I drop the images into Acrobat and send the PDF as a draft.We could bypass this step having this option as "Flat PDF export".
Thanks.

Include a rollover reveal of the hyperlinks in place.
Checking hyperlinks (i.e. where a button takes you to another page in the document) is time consuming. A rollover reveal of where the hyperlink goes would save an enormous amount of time.
This could also be an Acrobat feature - i.e. once you have exported as an interactive PDF - you can rollover and check there.1 vote -
Add Haitian Creole as an option in the list of languages when creating 508 compliant PDFs. Our business markets to that community.
Our company markets to South Florida communities that speak Haitian Creole. Having that language as an option when creating 508-compliant PDFs would be extremely beneficial.

PDF Password Print (BUG and New Feature)
As suggested by @Abhishek Rao on Adobe community
I report here the problem and the new functionality...PDF Password (BUG and New Feature)
When I export a document to PDF from Indesign (or illustrator), I would need to password protect the Copy/Modification of the elements in my PDF, at the same time allow READING and PRINTING of that PDF document.
All this is currently ALLOWED BY "INDESIGN"! in PDF export.
When I create a PDF with these limitations, I open it in ACROBAT and I can SEE and PRINT IT.
When I try to MODIFY IT, Acrobat asks me for…1 vote -

Export Adobe PDF > Create separate pdf > Suffixes options (looking for Page Master suffix)
Exporting pages as separate PDFs, I want to ad the Masterpage-names in the PDF-file-name as an Suffix. (Perhaps followed by the pagenumber if necessary.)
Example:
Making single-page flyers, I've got Masterpages (Which contains a footer.) for different languages.
I make the same flyer on p1: UK, p2: FR, p3 DE, ...When exporting all pages to a separate PDF I would like to ad the Master-page-name (or prefix) as a Suffix to the filenames like:
FlyerUK
FlyerFR
Flyer_DEOr if the Master-page is used on multiple pages:
FlyerUK-p1
FlyerUK-p2
FlyerFR

Export document with specific pages in multiple color spaces
I do medical journals, and I frequently have clients who request their document in 2 versions: a full color version for online, and a version where some, but not all of the pages are in grayscale for the printer, to save on printing cost.
It is yes possible to export an entire document converted to a grayscale color space, with some admittedly janky workarounds which it would also be nice to see streamlined.
But at the moment, what I do for my needs is I have to export a full color version, a separate grayscale version, and then manually collate…

Exporting PDF Security Settings (Bug)
When exporting documents to PDF where there are multiple layouts, there is a bug that happens when adding a Security Password to the PDF, where it will revert back to the original layout/all pages if you do not check it.
So in essence if I only want to export layout 2, it will revert back and export all pages in the document after I input the Security details.
A way around this issue is to make sure you put in the Security details and password first then go back to the General tab and input your settings. If you do…

Option to export PDF without creating a new folder.
Ability to save a page as a PDF within an existing folder to make it easier to track versions I am sending to a client. It would let me keep my organization consistent with other Adobe products- where I track changes in the same folder with updated file names. The folders seems to be a recent feature that I do not have the ability to turn off and would like to see that as an option. Thanks!

Update only some pages of an earlier exported PDF
When Exporting a big document, sometimes after a change it would be nice to update only the changed page in the exported file.
- it would save time as the export would complete faster
- no need to have all the linked files of the whole document locally just to update one page
- it would save me exporting one one some pages and then opening the old PDF file in Acrobat and replacing the updated page manually.1 vote -
