Support ID Books!
As a freelancer corralling multiple ID files, many which share Styles, Parent Pages and other elements, or need to output in a certain order as a combined PDF, I have long used the Book function in ID and MANY OF MY CLIENTS DO AS WELL. This feature of InDesign is still bare bones, undeveloped and buggy. It needs attention from developers! Here are my wishes for Adobe InDesign Books:
1) The Book Panel is still bare bones. Simply give it your attention.
2) I want all the fly-out menu options for a book to be available with a secondary click/contextual…

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.

Reveal in Bridge should Select File in Bridge
In macOS, Reveal in Finder not only reveals the file, but selects it in the Finder.
Reveal in Bridge should work the same way, to make it easier to immediately manipulate the file (such as updating metadata).

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!

For the love that all is good and right, please provide an option to disable the "missing fonts" dialogue box upon opening files.
For those of us who have, for years, been opening InDesign files where we know there are missing fonts, we've literally wasted several weeks of our lives clicking the "skip" button. Can you please include a preference that allows us to turn-off this feature?

Gif Export directly from Indesign
Why of why in 2021 can't I export a multi page document from Indesign to an animated gif format - even just rudimentary controls to allow a basic slideshow gif with no transitions would be better than having to faff about in photoshop!

Tool for sustainable Design
Hello dear Adobe team,
At the moment there is a lot of talk about environmental problems and sustainability. Responsible use is particularly important when it comes to the use of finite and regenerative resources.
The AGD has developed a charter for sustainability for this purpose. "Designers are largely responsible for
how our world is shaped. Design shapes, design is a role model and creates
new awareness. Design consumes resources - sometimes more,
sometimes less. The sustainable use of natural resources,
with the environment and with the people who have remained in this world for generations
should be able to live,…1 vote -
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…

Export to a Word/.doc file
Would like to be able to export a project to Word. Which typically exporting to PDF is fine, there are some clients that require us to send them Word/.doc file. I've been exporting to PDF and from there exporting to Word, but that means much of the formatting is lost.

Make Display Performance High Quality by Default.
I have been using Indesign for about 10 years. I thought in the past when you set display peformance to high quality, then closed and re-opened indesign, the setting would stick.
Now, on the latest version, I have to set it to high quality each time I open a document, which is stupid considering probably 95% of user's computers can handle high quality mode these days. This is so much more basic than dealing with proxies in Premiere which is not on by default... It really should be set to high by default. It's really annoying to have to go…

Urgent support needed for .webp images in InDesign & Photoshop
With the latest MacOS update Safari is now allowing .webp images. As a design studio we do LOTS of moodboards, research docs etc. gathering 100s of images at a time. Now I realise half need to be manually resaved — and in Preview of all places because not only are they not supported in InDesign, but Photoshop either. Urgent help needed!!!! This is adding so much time to my day.

Just like........actually do *something* to improve InDesign??
Many popular, highly voted Indesign feature requests—even some that you've responded to—have just been sitting here languishing for yearS...literally yearS. Would it be possible to do something? Like... just do something to improve the development of the program we all rely on for our careers? Thanks<3

Search entire volume for missing picture / links
Search entire volume for missing picture / links connection as its enormously laborious to search each with windows explorer, then copy to dedicated folder then point Indesign to this dedicated folder.
Why isn't it possible to point Indesign to a entire volume, let Indesign search for all missing links and by "packing" all files are copied to the "links"-folder. Would be mega-comfortable !!!1 vote -
PLEASE PLEASE! Buttons and forms Window
PLEASE PLEASE!
The Buttons and forms window is really difficult to work with.
Can you please enhance its usability?
Being able to group buttons, reorder buttons in the window would be a massive help.
Other users have expressed the need to expand the window - this is an absolute must so we can get an overview of the interactivity for each element, right now this is impossible and it takes so much time refining and debugging. Our clients are asking for more interactivity and it would great to be able to do this with the same efficiency as layout in…3 votes -
spell check
Spell check in Indesign is not fit for purpose in its current state, it is slow and clunky and gives no indication of where you are when checking a long document, could it not give a list of words like links panel that you can click to go to? At least implement some sort of progress bar and indication of how man words are incorrect/need reviewing. The forwards and backwards button do not help in any way - i'm sure the reason you need the change direction is only because its so slow and clunky that it goes past a…
