  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. 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。

  4. 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.

  5. Pop window note

    I work within teams that open and close ID files. The existing noting and share for review is just too slow and complex for the majority of the work we do. It would be absolutely amazing if you could save a simple twitter style small note when saving. So when the next person that opens the file can read it as soon as it pops up on open and can either choose to keep it / ignore or dismiss the note. Which will get rid of it. And you can only save one note to the saved file which will…

  6. InDesign Cannot Artifact Leader Dots (Accessibility)

    InDesign has no way of artifacting leader dots. This can only be done in PDF. Leader dots are commonly used in tables of contents to guide the reader's eye from the end of the entry to the page number. Leader dots are voiced by access technologies such as screen readers and force users with disabilities to hear, "DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT ..." If they are not artifacted. This is a painstaking process that requires InDesign users to learn PDF Remediation,…

  7. An option to turn off auto-numbering of interactive buttons

    An option to turn off the auto-numbering of interactive buttons when they are the same name.

    We sometimes create multiple views of an interactive piece and for analytics need the buttons to have the same name. If there are a lot of buttons sometimes it can take quite a while to got through each button and remove the number added to each one.

  8. 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.

  9. Add Date function to the Interactive Forms Creator in IND

    Add ability to put date formatting into the IND form creator (ie MM/DD/YYYY) - its a PAIN to add this in Adobe Acrobat AFTER I create a form in IND (especially when I have to make a change to the form within InDesign, I have to go back and re-add all of the places where I used Adobe Acrobat for date fields.)

  12. If Adobe could do a spreadsheet application

    This is not a specific feature request, but more a general idea about Adobe doing a spreadsheet application.
    Think about using functionality in Illustrator and InDesignTo be able to draw new sheets in threaded “Spreadsheet boxes” and “Cell boxes”, using layers for calculations/functions/data as well as text/graphic assets, writing functions and formulas in native language, using any graphics assets for conditional formatting and diagrams, place files in InDesign with full compatibility, advanced text formatting in Text Boxes nested with “Spreadsheet boxes”, tear-away panels.
    Just some initial thoughts....

  13. 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.

  14. disable launch image

    Disable Launch Image
    I do not think the launch images in photoshop, indesign and illustrator are culturally sensitive. They should not include any people especially not raunchy females. They should be totally neutral - landscapes, nature, no people please!!

  16. 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…

  18. 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.

    1. Add PDF/UA-1
      A barrier-free PDF need the PDF/UA-1 Note in the XMP-Metadata. I can only be done…

  19. PLEASE give us a HISTORY panel in InDesign

    It would make life so much easier for us to have a HISTORY panel. Photoshop does a fabulous job with this and I sorely miss it in InDesign. Yes, I know I can CTRL/Z, but the problem with that is that this is difficult to negotiate on a long document with many changing elements. It is very hard to remember just where I changed a style, or exactly which changes InDesign is making with each CTRL/Z. It is also very time consuming and it would really be a huge help with my workflow and save me a lot of time…
