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.5 votesThis feature already exists in InDesign, or are there some enhancements over and above what already exists that you are requesting here.
Thanks,

Stop exporting <Sect> tags
Please make InDesign stop exporting <Sect> tags for every text frame. We don't need these tags, and they interfere with accessibility.
We need more control over how our content exports to the tag tree. We only need to see our content under the articles <Art> tag.
We have to remove every single <Sect> tag to make our PDFs truly accessible.

Add Javascript for creating interactive Documents
So I had the nice task of creating an interactive PDF document. It needed a bit more logic than Indesign had to offer, so I was forced to use Javascript.
Because Indesign can't add Javascript, the design file and the logic file were separated. I was forced to manually connect the two every time I needed to make a change in Indesign, adding nearly 40 hours to my workload and completely destroying my workflow.
Just being able to add the scripts to the elements would have saved so much time.

Character Limits, Comb Line Form Fields and Font Alignment for Form Fields
Hello,
I would like to suggest that character limits can be set for comb line form fields. Also I would like there to be a possibility of creating comb line form fields (without creating tables). In addition, there should be alignment of the text as an option in the form field (whether left, center or right). This would save so much time and effort so that once the document is exported as a tagged PDF, those features mentioned would also be set. Finally, there should be a way to tag layout tables so that it does not register as a…

fix options for interactive forms (text fields) - default text, font, size, color, alignment, etc. - none currently work CC 21
when making interactive PDF, the Text field doesn't hold the default text, or the font, size and doesn't hold the color.... The text field should hold all the text & attributes that are set in indesign, but even the options for the text field doesn't hold the font or size.

Enable black only trim and bleed marks for digital print export.
Enabling black only trim and bleed marks will reduce the need for third party software. Digital presses print process marks in full color on black and white pages. These have to be removed so that the client does not pay color rates for black and white pages in a book.

Export of selection of pages could be easier...
It would be great to just select pages in the pages-window and then automatically have them selected with their page numbers in the export-toolbox.

Watermark-option when pdf-export (interactive) from InDesign
When you export a pdf-file from InDesign (as an interactive pdf), there should be an option for watermarks.
With this option you could save time because you don’t have to use Acrobat afterwards or create a new layer in InDesign.In Acrobat this option is already available, but with more opportunities (you don't need so many). It would be enough to have the following possibilities:
- „text of your choice“
- text scale
- text opacity
- text angle (0°, 45°, 90°)4 votes -
Link to a Specific Page in external PDF File saved on the local disc -> choose between relative/absolute link
It would be nice to have an option to open external file (pdf) saved on the local disc/folder on the specific page - the same way as url link ('#page=xx'). And it's also necessary to have an option select between relative/absolute link. If the file is distributed and the parent directory gets changed, it has to be still able to use the relative link (of course in case the original structure has not been changed).

Sync PDF Export Options
It'd be great to sync custom PDF export presets in Creative Cloud. Right now, PDF presets are saved locally, so they are not accessible across different devices. If Creative Cloud synced these settings, it would be very helpful for productivity across different machines.

Add Search Function in the Button and Forms Action
In the Button and Forms Action add Search Function for pdf. This would be very helpful for multi page interactive pdfs, eliminating the manual addition of a search button, which gets overwritten after every new export out of InDesign.

Export alternate layouts with layout name
It's been mentioned before, but seriously, it would save a lot of time, especially when exporting assets for social media that use the same size all the time. And that the export layout name is used in all exports nor only pdf.
Illustrator is able to do this =)

Adobe PDF Presets / Transparency Flattener Presets " Convert Text To Outlines" Feature Not Working
In all previous versions of Illustrator and InDesign, when saving a PDF, I have been able to set my PDF settings to convert all text to outlines by checking "Convert All Text To Outlines" in my Adobe PDF preset. Since my recent update to 23.0.3, this feature is no longer working properly. The setting is still an option, however, upon save/export of the PDF, text is not converted to outlines as it previously was.
I have reached out to customer support for this issue and have been informed that this issue is "expected behavior of the software".
How is this…

Still need MORE design options Forms via InDesign
This is still a current problem, it has been posted before but CLEARLY many people still have this frustrating problem that InDesign cannot preform the ENTIRE task of design and execution of an interactive form without the use of Acrobat. Specifically text colour and alignment/positioning in field.

You can add font and swatches options to Buttons and Forms in the Interactive PDF section. Right now its too limiting.

Relative paths to external files
My goal is to do all the layout and linking in indesign then do an export to a PDF with hyperlinks. The PDF and all the external linked files will then be distributed to other computers via USB-stick or CD.
The links has to be relative for this to work and I would like to have that option in the hyperlinks pod/panel or when doing a PDF (or HTML export).
I have been waiting 10 years for this feature - I cant understand why it has not been implemented searching the internet. it must be a clear usecase for indesign.4 votes
