  2. Please make it possible that whenever you create a QR code it automatically makes it into a hyperlink as well.

    This could be done by maybe ticking off a box when creating a QR code to optionally create a hyperlink. I know QR codes are prodominently made to scan with a phone but if you wish to publish the same publication online it would be nice if you could also click on the qr code, making it easier for the reader. It would make it easier because now I have to make a QR code while also applying the same hyperlink on it thus taking me more time and increasing the possibility of an error.

  3. Enable link transfer of Publish Online projects

    It would be useful to be able to transfer a project with Publish Online link to another user, so that they can update and publish revised versions of the asset without having to create new links.

  4. Allow upload of alternative PDF for download

    An essential option really, to allow a flat non-animated version of the online publication that's being viewed.

    As we all know any level of animation or pop-ups elements will end up on the downloadable PDF version making it almost useless.

    Unless anyone knows a workaround?

  5. Capacity to ignore external plug-in

    Hi all.
    I have a work made in Aquafadas (now Rakuten). The plug-in for digital publishing will not be developer again because the brand wil close the business. So, I switch the plug-in to another one (InPublishing) and everything goes fine on 2020. But with InDesign 2021 it seems to be impossible to work. InDesign 2021 made a ceck on files and it seems impossibile to add a file made with a plug-in that is not installed on a Book.
    That's very stupid, because It seems that I cannot work with 2021 because the original plug-in is not installed. BTW…

  6. Keep saved video attributes when opening packaged file and relinking media

    I am working on documents that are published online, with video and sound features. If a file is packaged and sent to other members of a team, upon opening the Indesign file, you are required to relink all media in the Links folder. However, some features are then lost, like the Poster frame settings for Video files (set in the Media panel).
    It would also be useful to be able to have the option to have sound on or off when publishing online, without having to do this in another application.

  7. Option to lock downloading videos from online published documents

    When you use the option PublishOnline, it is possible for other users to download videos from your online published document by rightclicking on the three dots an choose 'save video'. But that's not the way designers van to have their work exposed for downloading.

    I think it'll be a good idea to have the option to lock downloading videos from your online published documents.

    Can you help me solving this issue, pleas?

  9. Increase the density of Previous and Next Page arrows on eBook documents published online

    Is there a way to increase the density of the shadow under the arrow for the Previous/Next Page arrows used in the eReader for documents published online? Whenever someone with a 4:3 scale monitor views a document and the document's page color is white, the arrows are hard to see.

  13. Improvements to the publish online platform

    It would be interesting to improve the "Publish Online" platform, such as adding options to flip the pages of digital files in interactive pdf. Add visualization options by region in Analytics. Making it easier for the developer and users.
    And also add resources for ebooks.
    And also organization options. As creating folders, it would help a lot.

  14. Full screen mode while in portrait view on iPhone and other devices

    It might just be my olddd iPhone 6 but portrait view always leaves navigation bar and footer bar on screen when viewing.

    Now until responsive layouts become a feature (wish), then if we want to create a portrait layout publication/document for viewing on a device, full- screen doesn't happen for me and others. It would nice to be able to enable this, as in landscape view.

  15. Publish Online Download Counter

    Please add a download counter for how many times your published document is downloaded to the Publications Analytics. This would be so useful as part of counting metrics of user engagement!

  16. More motion paths and editable options

    I am increasingly finding myself trying to find animation workarounds to achieve what should be simple animation results.

    Making the motion path more editable with increased functions and options would help.

    As an example I seem to always have a need for a graphic to need a pivoting point motion. So if you had an object that need to rotate around a fixed point, we can use the rotate animation option, but it can't go in reverse or go back and forth.

    Imagine a hand waving, it would rotate one way but not loop back in the other direction. And…

  17. Option to LOCK files

    We have an increasing list of online published documents that are at increased risk of being saved over or deleted.

    A lock file feature would be useful and peace of mind.

  18. Slow publication analytics loading

    Most of time our analytics / statistics pop-up is VERY slow to load. Sometimes it doesn't load at all.

    Can it be speeded up. Is there a reason its slow?

    (PS I don't mean the 90 minute update lag, I mean any figures showing at all)

  19. Change pasteboard / background page colour

    The dark grey isn't always best!

    Often a page may have a dark background which doesn't sit will on a dark pasteboard background.

    An option to change this background colour even if from a limited palette would be good.

  20. Force / open in full screen view when user views the online document

    As can be achieved with standard PDFs, I think it would be useful to have a 'force full screen' option with a pop up warning that says page is requesting full screen - allow or not.

    Many documents with heavy content almost 'need' to be fullscreen for the best viewing experience.

    This option would remind the user that full-screen is best, but with the pop-up box that allows them to continue in the current window size.
