Firstly, kudos on the improved PDF comments. They are much much faster. No comparison. Thank you. It also seems to be working (although not tested much) much better with mixed English and Hebrew.

However, if you look at the attached screenshot, ❶ the comment icon is small and b/w. It would be extremely helpful if this was large and ❷ just like in DC, the comments box wastes tons of space. It would be nice if the text was much larger. This was executed very nicely in Acrobat XI (ruined in DC which nobody can use now). Could you make it mimic XI? It would be much much easier to implement corrections.

Secondly, something I have complained about before: you give the option to either enter one correction at a time or enter all of them for the whole product. It would speed up the process many-fold if I could on one page choose more than one correction to apply. Say I have 8 corrections and I want to apply 5. I would like to be able to select 5 corrections and apply all 5 in one go.

And finally, and this is absolutely critical to truly make PDF comments useful: Right now, if I apply a correction, it’s almost impossible to see the correction. With DTP Annotations, you can apply all the corrections or just 15 on a page, and wherever corrections have been applied, I can easily see since the correction is marked in yellow. With PDF comments, all I have is a tiny very light blue “:” which is impossible to see.

I welcome the improvements in 15.1.1 – they have sped up my workflow, but the above features (that one guy managed to do years ago for DTP Annotations), would be a game-changer.

When working in a packaged file workflow, where Adobe Fonts are not and cannot used, if there is a missing font that a user might already have enabled in Adobe Fonts, InDesign makes a font replacement with no warning.

There is an alert to activate missing fonts, but no warning if missing fonts are already activated in the user's system. I’m not sure if you could limit this to: If there is a Document fonts folder present, then there should be an alert before fonts are replaced with Adobe Font versions. This should not effect if fonts are enabled in other font managers.

For example, if Scala Sans Bold (OTF) is missing from the Document fonts folder for a file, and the user happens to have Scala Sans Pro Bold enabled in Adobe Fonts before opening the file, InDesign just makes the replacement without warning. The user sees no missing fonts, packages the file, sends it to someone else without this font enabled, and the font is missing. This makes it difficult to maintain a strict package workflow.

This is critical for licensing when files may be worked on by outside vendors or freelancer not working solely in packaging workflows, where access to Adobe Fonts is not controlled.

When I copy an image from one frame and paste it into another, I expect this action to preserve two sets of attributes: scaling factor and positioning data.

I get one out of two (scaling).

No offense, but QuarkXPress could do both back in 1990.

Why does this matter? Imagine a layout with a horizontal row of head shots, each in a separate frame of the same shape and size. Client says, "Oh, please move photo 3 to frame 10, and scoot everyone else up one frame."

I don't have to imagine this situation, as I'm currently working on a project with four spreads just like that, for a total of 60 images. Moving one image as described above is a lengthy process of copying and pasting (or trying to remember and type in) a whole bunch of x/y coordinates from one box to another.

I've looked for scripts to automate the process and come up empty handed.

This is so far beyond basic from a production standpoint that I really shouldn't have to explain why.

I've been using InDesign in a Japanese environment and have long been frustrated by the lack of distinction between kanji and double-byte spaces.
When you want to select consecutive Kanji by double-clicking (or command + → etc.), adjacent double-byte spaces (0x3000) will be selected together.
When you receive an unsatisfactory text manuscript, double-clicking a wasted double-byte space will select the adjacent kanji together.
I can't imagine the single benefit of this specification. It's just inconvenient.
I would like you to improve this.
I hope you will get the approval of everyone. Thank you.

私はInDesignを日本語環境で使用していて、漢字と全角スペースの区別がついていないことを長年不満に思っています。
ダブルクリック（あるいはcommand + →など）で連続した漢字を選択したいとき、隣接する全角スペース（0x3000）が一緒に選択されてしまう。
美しくないテキスト原稿を受け取ったとき、無駄な全角スペースをダブルクリックすると隣接する漢字まで一緒に選択されてしまう。
この仕様について、ただ1つのメリットも想像できません。ただ不便なだけです。
これを改善していただきたいです。
皆さまの賛同を得られれば幸いです。よろしくお願いします。

If someone doesn’t want to have to type the words 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑘 𝑦𝑜𝑢 over and over, they simply click 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭 > 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 > 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭 > 𝐀𝐝𝐝:

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝: ty
𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: thank you

That is the typical way users do it. If Adobe can make a new panel called 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐬 that would be helpful. It would function almost like 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐬 but be it’s own separate entity:
1. Select the words 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑘 𝑦𝑜𝑢 with your 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐫 (or you can select as many words as you want)
2. Click 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐬
3. Then, click 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞
4. 𝐒𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞: Compliments
5. 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞: English
6. 𝐀𝐛𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: ty
7. Click 𝐎𝐊
