  1. Place Linked IDMS

    It would be awesome if we could link a IDMS file or be able to add a InDesign file to CC Libraries and be able to place that into another InDesign file. This would be great for reusing pieces of text or layout that occasionally gets updated in multiple documents. When place the IMDS there could be an option to keep the link so if the version in the library is updated so is the placed version or to place a copy that does not stay associated with the one in the Library.

    I know it is possible to place…

  2. Make Extracted Shapes 'smarter'

    Extract Shapes in InDesign is in essence a good idea, but with a bad execution.
    And it has been like that (not so smart, that is) since its inception as the original Shapes app or even now within the Capture app for mobile.

    In stead of yielding a directly editable vector based result (with an Illustrator signature) it creates a purely black and white 'graphic' file format, which still needs a lot of handling to e.g. change the color of its vectors.

    Suppose I'd like to use the traced outlines of a flower, or the extracted rough structure of bricks,…

  3. aic

    Please Make it possible for InDesign to read aic-files, since it is a huge part of working with InDesign to Place ai-files
    .
    There can be a lot of ways to do that.
    The easiest way is just to allow InDesign to open the "gate" to the "cloud-folder" and read it from there, since it is already done from Illustrator and Photoshop.
    another way could be th make a "ghost-file" in the local CC-folder that shows a mirror or links to the file from there.

    And there is possibly a lot of other opportunities aswell.

    I just don't understand that…

  4. CC Library - PARENT SLIDES

    Being able to drag and drop parent slides from CC would save me considerable time going back and forth when a look has been altered in e.g. company templates.

  5. Allow option for Stock ID in links panel

    I would like an easy way to get a list of Stock IDs from my links panel. The stock file names are very impractical to deal with, and often I need to links of the stock images Im using to clients.

  6. Update snippets/version history

    It would be good to have an effortless way to update the snippets. I usually work with lot of snippets and sometimes the customer wants minor changes. Now it's easier to create a new snippet instead of updating an old one.
    Also, the version history could be useful to track changes.

  7. Allow Para and Char styles to be imported from libraries together

    When we create a set of styles, there are both para and char styles. If I select both at the same time, I don't get the option to import them. It would be nice if we could have a single step of importing all styles in a group at the same time so users don't have to make sure they're selecting just one or the other. It trips people up all the time when they accidentally have one of the character styles selected with all the para styles.

  9. Ability to "replace" INDT files in CC Libraries

    We have a large number of template files in a series of CC Libraries. Right now, if I make an edit that affects multiple template files in multiple libraries, it can be a long, annoying process to get the new versions into the libraries. I have descriptions written for all of the templates. To replace that template, I have to import the new one, copy the description, paste the description into the new template file, then delete the old template. If we have a brand change or other change (like, "hey, it's 2021 now, not 2020"), replacing all the templates…

  10. Allow online document checking for all documents at the discretion of the user

    Often a document gets 'slightly' corrupted. It still works, but you will get warnings about errors that cannot be solved (out of date cross references for instance) and InDesign crashes on a regular basis. But InDesign itself doesn't recognise the document as problematic. It would be nice to send such a document to Adobe's servers for a repair.

  12. Review Online: Changes on comments

    When you change text that has been highlighted it jumps down to Unresolved. I constantly have to find my way back to the comment section I was on. Very annoying.

    Also, if I hit command-V when i have text in comment highlighted it suddenly changes the filter to just "Resolved"

  13. Search Adobe Fonts

    Next to the search bar for Adobe Stock would be a nice place to search for fonts as well. Just my opinion.

  14. CC Libreries

    Sería estupendo contar con un sector de búsqueda por texto dentro de la ventana CC LIbraries para archivos y elementos subidos. Cuando guardo archivos le pongo un nombre por ejemplo: Logotipo de piscina 01. Entonces, me es más práctico buscar por nombre ya que la ventana tiene miniaturas demasiado pequeñas.


    It would be great to have a search placeholder within the CC Libraries window for files and uploaded items. When I save files I give it a name, for example: Pool logo 01. So, it is more practical for me to search by name because CC librarines has small
    thumbnails

  16. Export All Comments

    Hello,

    I would like to request the ability to export all comments, whether from pins or drawn shapes, made on documents on assets.adobe.com. Once files are moved off of Creative Cloud, all comments are lost, so it would be great to be able to save comments for posterity prior to files being archived somewhere else.

    Thank you.

  19. Allow batch renaming of CC Library items

  20. I want to be able to use INDD CC 14 on my Windows 8 Computer

    I'm a Creative Cloud subscriber and I'm using INDD for some of my clients as a translator. Now I need to use CC 14 but I cannot update to that version because I'm using a computer with Windows 8. Actually I do not need Windows 10. I want to use the latest INDD version on my computer. I hope you allow subscribers like me to use the latest versions soon.
    Kind regards
