Instead of allowing objects to leave the pasteboard, just move them to the edge of the pasteboard
I often place and then resize images in InDesign. Very often when I go to resize an image, I get the error "This would cause one or more objects to leave the pasteboard" and I can't actually resize all the way down to a manageable size—I have to move the entire image somewhere random and try to resize, or just resize in increments, move the image, and resize again.
I understand that I don't want objects to leave the pasteboard. But if an object is about to leave the pasteboard, why can't it just move to the edge of the…

Use relevant error messages
"Cannot copy necessary linked file(s)"
"Failed To Export The PDF File"
These messages sucks. Why keeping the reasons in secret?
Which file cannot copied? On which page/object failed the export?
Users spend many working hours to find the problem, which ID have to know, but don't publish.1 vote -
ability to package without first saving
When creating mechanicals I often need to break a large InDesign file up into multiples- this is extremely cumbersome due to a multitude of poor design decisions:
- Save-as kills file history
- No option to save pages as individual files
- and, no ability to use packaging to save into individual folders.
Please fix all of these

Ability to undo after save-as
Because indesign can't save individual pages as files a workaround is to delete pages and save-as, however, this inexplicable clears the undo history. Please fix this bug, and add the ability to save pages as individual files.

InDesign - Lightroom "Edit with"
I really wish I could easily go between Lightroom and InDesign. I regularly create proposals etc in InDesign and load in images that print dark. I would love the ability to right click and edit in Lightroom. Lightroom is far better/intuitive for me for basic edits of images than Photoshop. You offer Edit in: Photoshop, After effects etc. In Premiere you offer many options but not Lightroom. Seems like it would (as a side benefit) encourage use of another of your products.

Enlarge printing on controls
Enlarge the print on the control panels so that people with low vision can see and work on InDesign and Photoshop. My vision is failing and I publish a 32 page magazine on InDesign.

Popup message if INDD document opens as "read only"
We work on a cloud server (Nasuni). There is a slight lag (up to a few minutes) when a user opens a file and the lock file is synced to the cloud server.
Occasionally, someone will be able to open a file that another user already has open. When that happens, in the document tab, the document shows as (read only). But there's nothing beyond that small text in the document tab to tell the user they are not working in a file they can save (and that someone else has the source document open).
What I would like to…

Direct selection tool selects everything - in 90 percent of the cases is unusable
The direct selection tool in inDesign and Illustrator is almost unusable due to it is selecting everything it touches.
It would be much better to have an option to select the points of the currently active object. I have lots of stacked objects, I want to work with one of the objects, but as soon as I draw a rectangle over the desired points, EVERYTHING is selected everywhere. This makes the tool almost unusable, because it is unable to make a normal selection, it's too greedy.
At least in Illustrator there is a thing "isolation mode" but in inDesign the…1 vote -
Please change the cursor back to the black default when the world made sense for design pros.
Please revert back to the action of the toolbar where "V" or the select black cursor is the default. It makes zero sense for the "A" direct select cursor to be the default.

Please make it for ChromeOS
The only thing I still use computers for is mild browsing when I need a larger screen than my phone, and creating a program once a year for a convention. I don't want to invest $600+ in a laptop just to use InDesign when my Chromebook is more than enough for everything else. Please make it accessible either online or for ChromeOS. It's long overdue.

Make "Find/Change" Queries Easier to Organize and Edit!!
Find/Change Queries are a nightmare to organize, edit, and delete.
PLEASE add basic edit functions while viewing drop-down list of Queries.
Better yet, allow Queries to be saved like INDD Libraries that are Project Specific and can be shared!

What are the causes of Quickbooks error code 15241 ?
There might be one or more of the following reasons behind the occurrence of QuickBooks Error 15241:
- The File Copy Service (FCS) in QuickBooks Desktop is turned off. This service is critical for the QB application's and payroll service's functions.
- The downloaded file was tampered with in some way.
- Alternatively, if the QuickBooks installation was not completed correctly.
- If the windows registry files were corrupted as a result of installing QuickBooks, the identical problem would appear.
- One such explanation could be a Trojan assault.
- In the event that some QuickBooks-related vital files are accidentally erased
- If your anti-virus application is…

We need a way to convert PagerMaker files to ID files
I know that I am not the only person, that there are many of us, who were loyal Pagemaker users for many years and now have a big archive of PM files. Adobe pages says that they can be opened with ID CS6, but that doesn't work for me, my CS6 gives me a message that I need a plug-in, but that plug-in isn't available anywhere. I know I'm not the only person who has asked for a plug-in to convert PM files. Please do something about this. Adobe is really failing us.
