Better use of tags to create a barrier-free PDF with InDesign
Hello Adobe InDesign Team
for accessibility I have to use TAGs in PDFs. I creat my PDF out of InDesign and InDesign has already some features to add TAGs and structure to a PDF when exported but some features are buggy or incomplete so the PDF has to be revised manually, which is a big disadvantage especially when there are changes in the original InDesign file later.
So here some of the most imported things I would changes to make this process easier.
Add PDF/UA-1
A barrier-free PDF need the PDF/UA-1 Note in the XMP-Metadata. I can only be done…

Buttons and Forms Panel
It would be a great option to enlarge the Buttons and Forms panel. It is so small. I make a lot of fillable forms and use this panel often. Please make it larger.

InDesign App for Ipad
We want an app version of InDesign for the iPad. It’s time.
Now that Ipad has the same M processor as computers and more and more people/colleagues who work on the move are choosing the Ipad solution. Possibly with the ability to access files directly from an external drive (usb-c is now standard on Ipad too) and not just through the cloud.
When we travel there is not always the possibility of having access to an internet network. Adobe competitors are giving alternative solutions to InDesign for Ipad. With what we pay for the subscription, I believe you have to…2 votes -
Add color to alpha option for linked images
I would like to be able to set the white background of a black and white UPC png to transparent. Using a clipping path does not work very well with UPCs as it either clips off some of the bars or leaves some white space around the numbers.
I don't see how it would be too difficult to define a color as transparent for a linked graphic to make it not necessary to edit the original graphic.

Request of to Index "Index entry", "page reference" and "Yomi" CSV export Feature.(【要望】索引の「項目」「ページ番号」「読み」のCSV書き出し)
I hope to Index "Index entry", "page reference" and "Yomi" CSV export Feature.
Currently, the Japanese version does not sort as expected and the indexing function is difficult to use.
It would also reduce the difficulty of indexing in multi-person operations.索引の「項目」「ページ番号」「読み」をCSVで書き出せるようにして欲しい。
現状、日本語版はソートが期待通りいかず、索引機能が使いづらいものとなっている。
また、複数人の作業における索引作成の困難も軽減してくれると思われる。9 votes -
Interactive PDF Previews
I would LOVE the ability to preview my interactive PDF without having to export it every time I make an edit to a fillable text box or radio button. Can we preview the interactive features in InDesign, and not just in Acrobat?

Export JPG with specific name and as a background task
Now that many users are using INDD to prepare web graphics INDD needs a feature to be able to name the page so when the pages are exported as JPGs or PNGs they are named properly.
I found a script to do this but it would be great to build this into the application. All that would be needed is a variable where we could add the name and INDD would look at that text frame to name the exported files.
This is important to do it this way so this can be a feature of data merge as well.…

Make PNG/JPG Exports Background Tasks
As the topic says... having the export of PNG/JPG files as a background task would be extremely helpful for those of us working in comics and doing high volumes of rendering work.
Likewise, making this a multithreaded/parallel process for speed and efficiency would also be highly appreciated.

Enlarge maximum image export sizes
I work for a company which uses InDesign for webtoon-style comic content. These are often extremely long vertical images (10000-20000px is common). When attempting to export to JPG/PNG for processing, InDesign will not process the larger files, claiming that they exceed the maximum size, even at resolutions as low as 200dpi (webtoons typically go online at 350dpi so these images need to be upscaled).
Exporting to PDF and re-exporting to the relevant image format allows the images to export at size, but often with additional scaling and does not 1:1 match the original pixel size.
This clearly isn't a limit…

Page Layout Management in Bridge for InDesign Files
It would be extremely beneficial to have a feature in Bridge that can interact with InDesign files, allowing for the visualization of individual pages directly within the Bridge interface. Furthermore, the ability to compose an overall layout for a magazine or book from separate pages in Bridge, or another similar software, would significantly improve the workflow for many users.
This feature could save us countless hours, improve collaboration between teams, and potentially revolutionize the way we create composite pieces.
I look forward to hearing from you on this suggestion.

Let hyperlinks open in a new tab.
I was trying to work out how to set InDesign hyperlinks to open a new tab in a browser. I have learned this is not a feature that is in InDesign.

Cross-check links used on both ways
Hi, the idea is to be able to check the links that a certain file (let's call file A) is being linked to.
The file A can be used as a link on files 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.... so when I open file 1 and go to the links panels I can see my file A listed there. Right? But not the other way around, such as we can't see the files (1,2,3...) in which that one file (file A) is linked to unless we go one by one (1,2,3...). Would be great to have a link to and…

Please add database publishing feature
InDesign has become a powerful DTP-application but one feature is missing. Please add support for real database publshing (catalogs etc.). This feature would make thrid-party plugins like inCatalog or inData obsolet..

Real time Collaboration on a single file
Problem:
If DIFFERENT USERS need to work on the same file AT THE SAME TIME.Goal:
Two or more users working on real time on the same file.Currently:
they need to save a copy of the parent file and then merge them into one unified file.Solution:
With this new feature, only elements touched by each user would be locked for the rest. By saving the document would mean to release all objets and send updates to be visible to everyone.This is really important to create solid workflows and to avoid potential mistakes while merging files if two…

Export Image Metadata and Keyword contents contained within any image when exported as a .PNG file
Export Image Metadata and Keyword contents contained within any image when exported as a .PNG file. Why should the metadata and keyword contents embedded in an image file be wiped when exported as a .PNG File>. AS the need for transparent PNG files needed for AR experiences becomes more critical for use in Aero and other AR environments, the metadata should travel with any export from INDD

Integrate Adobe Express/Canva-like features into Indesign
So Adobe Indesign has some BASIC animations and I feel this is a completely missed opportunity on Adobe's behalf. Apps like Canva have been spreading like wildfire for years and while Adobe has released Express it is a poor cousin. The idea behind Express/Canva is to have an easy-to-create, templated video/animated solution for social media (which let's face it, is mostly video now), yet as a very heavy InDesign user I should be able to animate and export these animations while also taking advantage of the powerful mail merge (text, images, and it really needs to also have swatches), bulk…

Locked Content — Functionality Request
SUBJECT — Locked Content on InDesign Pages
• InDesign — version 17.3
This request applies to when an InDesign page has locked content — in other words, when multiple text boxes and image boxes and other page elements are all locked.
• When an InDesign page has multiple text boxes and image boxes that are locked, often enough I want to access only one of the locked text boxes to make a simple change to the text.
• Currently, in order to access that textbox to make the change, the quickest way I've found requires me to unlock the ENTIRE…
