Convert links to resolution
Convert a copy of selected links to 300 dpi (or any chosen resolution).
Including upscaling or downscaling.
Alos available on packagingThis would be helpful especially when supplied images are way too big, or some images are fine though a bit low res and need to be upscaled for print.

package indesign containing other indesign documents linked
I've a INDD doc containing several INDD docs linked. When I do package, if I select the make IDML option, only the main doc is saved as this, not the linked docs. I need to manual convert each doc (or open all docs and batch convert).

Export to Illustrator with Layer Preservation
We do a lot of packaging design for a large catalog of products and use InDesign for most of that design (due to some specific needs for variants, etc.). We often need to provide the files as .AI format to our manufacturing vendors. It's easy enough to export to PDF, which preserves the spot colors and Acrobat Layers, but when we save from PDF to .AI, the layers vanish. InDesign needs a way to save/export native files in a format that can be opened in Illustrator that preserves all InDesign layers.

How do I reset HP Printer Is Offline error within my Printer?
The HP printer’s Drum unit is a separate consumable unit that usually should be replaced after the use of 3 to 4 toner cartridges. If you possess a HP laser printer and getting a Replace Drum message on display of your printer, then it might be the right time to get a new drum. In order to track usage, your HP printer utilizes a page counter, which must be reset manually whenever a new drum is installed. If resetting doesn’t perform successfully, then you may face HP Printer Is Offline error. However, the online experts are only one call away…

Copy dependent files to Links on save
Can we please have a checkbox in the Save dialog that enables us to automatically collect all dependent files to the Links folder when saving the file?
I know there is an option to copy links to a folder but this is a manual process. I think the option I’ve described above will alleviate many issues with people unknowingly leaving links in their Downloads folder etc.

Remove plug in
I used an add-on module for years that I will not need anymore. Without the current version of this plugin, I can not package the files anymore. Therefore, I would like to permanently remove the plug-in from the file. For that I can not find a solution, except to first create an IDML file.
I'm looking for a simpler solution, because I have several hundred files that are equipped with the module.2 votes -
The A4 size
The size of the A4 pages are not accurate. Normal size is 11.0x8.3 inches. Also since printers don't print all the way to the edge the documents go out of whack to try to adjust. I'm making a theatrical program for a school project and have had to get very creative with my solutions, wasting a lot of paper in the process.

Alphabetize Print Presets
When I create print presets they are in order of the first one created to the last. I have many and it makes it difficult to find the one I am looking for. If they automatically sorted alphabetically that would make my life so much easier!

Please start using the standard path location of files. I'm struggling with data merge handling thousands of images, which I would like to structure. Now I have to place all images within the main project folder, which makes it really messy.
This is not the way it should work, especially as we use this document on several different computer - which would make us change the master data every time we work with it.
C:/path/path/path/path/indesignproject/images/image.jpgIdeal would be to follow the standard OS paths which would make it work on the computer your opening the project on without having to…

dimensions lines, lines to show size between points
It would be nice nice to have a line tool or a text box that you can link to a line that shows the height or width of a line so you can create easy dimensions lines for products as we oftun need to provide dimentions and sometime they change so you need to change the text box value each time as well.
It should be CAD style feature please see reference image

Please allow an export as TIFF option!
I don't understand why a graphic design software won't allow pages to be exported as a TIFF! It is fine if it is restricted to single-pages.
It's a HUGE pain to try to convert my designs into PDF or JPEG and open in photoshop, and always introduces some quality loss. Please Adobe, make your software functional for the 21st century!2 votes -
Print miniatures (multiple pages) with definable scale rate and border style
1) Please add option to print miniatures with a definable scale rate
2) Please allow to print multiple pages (with 100% actual size) on one sheet
3) Please add printing option to apply something like an object style to the pages (e.g. border style, drop shadow)These features would be great timesavers for internal discussions and external presentations during the whole design process.

Print menu switches back to "all" instead of "range" automatically
Every time you print a specific page, and need to print another the print menu automatically switches to "All" instead of "range" This causes a lot of paper waste and abort print job problems. Would it be an idea to make it so that indesign keeps the latest used setting instead? This have been suggested before i guess, but the problem is still there.
Thank you!

possibility to change the filename when making a PDF while packaging
We always define our PDF's with a coding for HR or LR, and I always need to manually add it after packaging. Why not make the naming of the PDF standard as identical to the indd filename, but with an option to change it or add something to it, like what PDF settings where used.

Allow a "consolidate" type of packaging that doesn't create new copies
The ability to take the current working document and consolidate copies of links and document fonts around the existing document, rather than create an additional copy of the INDD working file. Using the Package feature for files in progress that are simply being moved between workstations is problematic because you have to remember to delete the "old" version that was just packaged. I would like a way to make 100% sure that everything I need for the existing file is organized within one master folder, without having to embed all the links or manually delete duplicate INDD files.

Preflight Document Pages Only
Add an option to the Preflight feature so the user can tell InDesign not to flag errors on unused master pages. Since the purpose of the feature is to flag errors in output, it makes no sense in most cases to flag errors on pages that will never be output (master pages).
