Data merge: Classification Master pages
Es solle möglich sein, über die Datentabelle für jeden Datensatz eine Musterseite zuordnen zu können. Ähnlich wie QR-Code und Images bekommt die Spalte ein Sonderzeichen, in der die Bezeichnung der Musterseite steht.
Nach der Datenzusammenführung hat dann jeder Datensatz die entsprechende Musterseite.
Translation google: It should be possible to assign a sample page for each data record via the data table. Similar to QR code and images, the column is given a special character in which the name of the sample page is written.
After the data merging, each data record then has the corresponding master page.14 votes -

"Hidden" bleed for facing pages
It would be nice to have the ability to set a "hidden" bleed in the bund, when working on a brochure or book with facing pages. Because some print-manufacturers need that and currently the only way to get around of this, is to seperate the pages an manually add the bleed where the bund was.

Multiple Image Export With Individual Names (JPG/PNG)
I want to export several pages, all in different formats, as JPG or PNG, each with a unique and specific name.
The 'rename multiple files' Tool don't work here, cause each name is completly different.
Currently you have 2 Options:
Export each page one-by-one and name the file right.
(If you have over 20+ Pages, thats not fun)Export all pages in one go and then rename every single file.
Update (Edit): If you gave each page with a new size individual name (for example names of the different master pages) you could use this when export so each file…

allow pasting from left page to right page in master- exactly the same location
Every time I make a new document- my masters can be complex but the left and right side of the same master are a pain to make exactly the same.
So either make copy and paste work better in masters or add a feature that allows left and right sides to be lined up the same.
I want to be able to set all my parts and then set guides on the left side—
and then copy them ALL- guides, date, page numbers, doc name and other items to EXACTLY paste in the right hand side.
Right now Paste In…1 vote -

Allow usage of Data Merge within the Slug
We often use internal templates, that utilize the slug area of documents to handle file-specific data. Often we will utilize Data Merge to populate these fields, but we can only do so if our text fields are moved from the slug area, into the document. This of course forces us to move the slug-specific content back into the slug on what can easily be hundreds of documents.
Please expand Data Merge to being useable for document text fields that don't lie directly on the page(s).

Show Page Dimensions permanently in Document Window
With more than one tool to change general/individual page sizes, keeping an eye on these numbers is crucial.
Please make page dimensions visible at all time – e.g. in the slug/pasteboard area next to every page or in the Pages thumbnails, at least as some kind of tooltip or popup info. This behavior could be activated with a preferences checkbox. Thanks.

next page doesn't work
Hi there,
When inserting Type=>Special Characters=>Marker=>Next page InDesign inserts the CM marker which is the current page. Consequently where I need the next page number to appear it displays the current page number.
Kind regards
Mike Howell5 votesThe text frame containing the Next Page Number Marker has to just touch the text frame and the correct page number gets picked. No need to link the text frames together. Just the fact that it touches the text frame will make it automatically pick the correct next page number that the text flows to in the document.
Hope that helps.

Provide a resolution option for indesign
When I export an image as a jpeg in InDesign and select anything above 72 dpi, I end up with a larger jpeg. This seems to correlate with the ppi, so my original 1612 x 640 would end up as 2149 x 853 with 96 dpi, 8463 x 3360 with 150 dpi and so on. It is very inconvenient because I need my files to be exactly the same size as when I started, but with a higher resolution than 72ppi. It would be awesome and save me time if you could provide an resolution option for indesign that we…

It is essential for non-fiction book authors to have the endnote indices restarted with each chapter (section).
InDesign must allow endnotes to be continuous OR restarted for each chapter. The latter option is not possible at the moment without splitting a book draft into separate chapter files. This is both very time consuming and prone to error. Authors of documents with thousands of citations cannot realistically use the continuous endnote numbering approach.

reorder bookmarks
Let's say we have a document 40 pages long. The usefulness of all 40 pages vary because of end-user knowledge.
As such,
Master users will preferably only read 5 out of those 40 pages.
Experienced will read 15 pages
Intermediates 30 pages
First time users 40 pages.Now this already is possible with a plug-in, but I fail to understand why Adobe don't see plug-ins as a clear sign that users want / need the functionality.
Ok, what would be great is being able to script a user end button that calls the sort bookmarks function. The PDF would already…

Option to replace a master page that is being deleted with a different master page
When working on long documents, especially while using the book feature, it would be helpful to have the option to replace one master with another. So if I want to delete "Master A", a dialog box would say "Remove Master A and replace with: [list of other master pages to choose from]".
Currently if I want to remove a master page and replace it, I have to go through all 900 of my pages and apply the replacement master.

Option to set up a template to open with a default file name
Add a check box when saving an indesign template that would allow you to create a default file name.
For example, when I create a business card template for our company to use, I save the template as "Business Card (Name)" but when the template is opened it opens as "Untitled-1"
Having an option to save the template to open as "Business Card (Name)" but also require the designer to use Save As when they are finished entering the information would help to ensure file naming consistency for a specific type of file across the whole design team.

Thank for new versions - but the scroll button the is a dull grey atop another shade of grey is not visible enough for quick work -
i have worked as a designer for many years - please consider colour and contrast in the scroll feature for pages. As i try to proof a manuscript against another file, i must constantly search for the scroll tab in order to read more text - even a lighter shade of grey or something complementary would help the worker.
thanks
