  1. InDesign Cannot Set Actual Text (Accessibility)

    InDesign Cannot Set Actual Text

    InDesign has no way of setting actual text. This can only be done in PDF. Actual text is set when acronyms are used. Access technologies such as screen readers cannot properly read acronyms such as USA. They voice them as words, like "Youusah." Actual text has to be set for the document to be read correctly. This is a painstaking process that requires InDesign users to learn PDF Remediation, a highly specialized skillset that is typically outside the role of the average Graphic Designer. Currently, the process for setting actual text in Acrobat is as…

  2. Emoji for Print: Update EmojiOne Color and Support COLR Fonts

    I work for a large book publisher and more and more books (especially YA) include a lot of emoji. To the point that having to replace all emoji with art is a tedious process. For workflow efficiency and for accessibility issues, we utilize emoji fonts and convert them to outline, then color correct for print (grayscale or CMYK). That way we can support diverse emoji and preserve the unicode values so that characters are maintained as manuscripts go from Word to InDesign.

    Right now, emoji fonts that support shading and skin tone/hair color options come in two flavors--OpenType SVG and…

  3. Make share button neutral

    The new SHARE button is very blue. In Photoshop we have the option to make it interface colored. Same in Illustrator. InDesign dosen't.

  4. New “Hide Spread/Show Spread” feature: automatic page number adjustment

    I was excited to discover the new 'Hide Spread/Show Spread' feature in InDesign. Page numbers on visible spreads don’t adjust automatically when other spreads are hidden in the document. Thus the feature becomes useless for any document that uses page numbers – at least within my workflow.

  5. Please Add "Screen" Intent Option for Creating New Documents

    Please add a new Intent option called "Screen" as a choice when creating a new INDD file. The current choices of Print, Web, and Mobile don't cover what I need for creating PPT backgrounds for slide shows, stills and lower thirds for our video team. Page sizes could be at least: 1366 x 768, 720p, 1080p, and possibly 3840 x 2160 for 4K. This would save time from rifling through the other options for the right dimensions, creating a custom size, changing measurements, and changing color profile.

  7. 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。

  8. Hidden pages alert

    PLEASE add an alert on a PDF export if pages are hidden. For many projects, we cannot risk have pages hidden in the final PDF (i.e., proposals).

  10. Make the CC Library popup notes legible

    Using CC Libraries in InDesign 2022, 2023+ has been very helpful. However, I find that the notes added to the object are illegible. Doesn't matter what color I make the interface or which monitor or monitor resolution I set, when I hoover my mouse over the library object the pop out note text is a light grey on a grey background and difficult to read.

    Can we had some user level adjustment so those library items can be zoomed or to change them so the text is black with a white background while we are hovering over them?

    Thank you.

  14. Add brackets and arcs as underline options

    To signal a contraction of a word, or a relation between two words, it would be helpful to have brackets and arcs (like slurs in a musical sheet) as underline options. This would simplify the edition of dictionaries and musical text.
    See the examples attached.

  15. Favourite font groups

    I'd like to be able to save some of my commonly used fonts into groups or themes of my choosing, such as calligraphic, infographic, corporate, Christmas etc.

    I realise InDesign (and other Adobe apps) already offer favourites and filters but the favourites list can get rather long and the filters don't always capture the fonts I'm actually trying to find, especially with non Adobe fonts. For example, I have a font called 'Beauty Night Script' installed and it doesn't show up in either the script, handwritten or decorative font filters.

    I think this feature could be quite useful for people…

  16. Page cycle for PDF imports

    1. When I import a PDF into InDesign I'd like to see arrows alongside the circular content grabber to cycle to the next page of the PDF rather than re-importing the same PDF and selecting the correct page in the options dialog box
    2. Saves time, less work to import different pages from the same file already imported

  17. Reinstate the Publish Online button in the top bar please!

    This shortcut button to the Publish Online function was one of my most frequently used, and for some strange reason, in the latest version 18.5, it has been removed.
    I can't see any reason why it can't remain where it was, very conveniently situated in the top bar beside the Share button.
    The new option slows down what was one of my most frequently used functions... I do hope this isn't just 'change for change's sake'??
    Anyone else find this change unecessary and annoying?

  18. Easy drag and drop to base one text style on another

    I would love for an easy drag and drop to base one text style on another in the paragraph and character style palettes. The idea is to drag a paragraph style (para) that you want to base on and drop onto another style (parafirst or paralast). I work on book designs with lots and lots of style tags. It will save designers so much time to do it all in the palettes instead of opening up each style and scroll through the style list every time.

    In addition, similar to how we apply parent/master pages to pages, it’d…

  19. Base font

    It would be fantastic if I could select a base font to always come up if I'm substituting fonts (happens to me several times everyday) I would like to be able to change Minion to Helvetia Neue Pro as an auto rather than searching it out each time.

  20. Preflight. Hidden pages

    It would be great if we had the option to add hidden pages to the preflight.

    When working with long documents, if your pages panel is small it might be difficult to see a hidden page.

    For translation projects, it might be essential that only text that is going to be visible in the final pdf is actually present in the indd /idml file so hidden pages should be identified and deleted.
