heat transfer printing
Heat transfer printing is a method of decorating surfaces such as fabric or ceramics with designs by using heat and pressure. Such designs are often printed first on special transfer paper which is then applied onto the material to be decorated. This heat adheres this particular design to the upper surface, which makes the finishing look very attractive and long lasting. This is widely used for personalized clothing and giveaways.

Make Libraries Panel Drag & Drop When Adding
Hi There,
I only use libraries for one client but am quickly discovering it's not that intuitive. It's great that libraries now isn't the default but when you need it, why can't you drag everything into it?
Obvious examples...
- You can't drag colours
- You can't drag text styles (paragraph or character)And regarding text, if you drag a text box, dragging it back should add the textbox with text etc. If you drag a text style onto an existing text box, it should only apply the style etc.
Just let us add anything to the library via drag…

Ancient Greek spell check
I have read an article (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/add_cs_dictionaries.html) about adding a Hunspell dictionary in inDesign and try to insert the Ancient Greek dic in InDesign but it was not working properly. I hope Adobe in the future to include and the Ancient Greek Language as there are many University Studies which teach Ancient Greek Literature and print books in ancient greek language. There is already a free hunspell dic so I suppose that it will be easy for adobe such a thing.

Would like to see a faster and quicker alignment tool added to the control bar.
Would like to see a faster and quicker alignment tool added to the control bar.
Sometimes it's a bit troublesome to switch between alignment panels, so I would like to add a more direct alignment panel to the control bar.
Can quickly align to bleed, margins, centre of plate, horizontal centre, vertical centre.
There is also a function to align to a reference line (the reference line and the object are aligned to each other).It's kind of like the table control

ChatGPT Integration in InDesign for Text Editing and Proofreading
Please add an option in InDesign to integrate text review using ChatGPT. Ideally, this would function as a standalone panel, where we could log in with our own ChatGPT account. Through this panel, we would be able to have the text checked either as a proofreader or as an editor in a special mode—for instance, if the text overflows, it could be shortened to fit the box or page. Similarly, it could generate titles based on the text.

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…

TOC - Update page numbers only
Update page numbers only in TOC (like it is possible in a common Text Processing software) would save a lot of time, as we often insert styling and manual line warps in the TOC for aestetical reasons and have to redo it as TOC has to be refreshed and overwrites everything.
The suggestion in this forum to create Cross-References would also be a nice solution to this problem.

Hi,

Check Icon Effects Rapid ON/OFF
I find this very frustrating every time.
I would like to be able to activate/deactivate an effect by clicking on the check icon.- clicking on the check activates and deactivates the effect (on/off)
- clicking on the name of the effect on the right should open the corresponding panel (as it already works now)
Often to deactivate an effect I have to enter the panel to deactivate the check, this would be fine when I have to set the parameters but if I simply have to deactivate the effect I have to open a second panel that could be avoided.
I…

Add cell style setting fort column width and row height
We periodically update our older catalogs with newer styles and much of the content is to provide dimensions for parts. Most of the time they have not had a style applied to them. This would be the same as the option already provided when a cell is selected. Being able to select a group of cells and applying a style with column and row height would be helpful.
Its actually the only item that isn't included from the cell options every other option is already available.

Add Haitian Creole as an option in the list of languages when creating 508 compliant PDFs. Our business markets to that community.
Our company markets to South Florida communities that speak Haitian Creole. Having that language as an option when creating 508-compliant PDFs would be extremely beneficial.

Free time
I’ve been interested in online gaming for a while, so I decided to try out some online casinos. I was looking for one that offered good bonuses and wasn’t too complicated to start with. That’s when I came across https://luckyowl.biz/. The site looked simple and easy to use, plus they had great bonus deals like free spins and deposit matches for new players. The promotions kept coming even after I signed up, which was nice because it didn’t feel like a one-time thing. It’s a fun site that’s easy to use and rewarding.

PDF Password Print (BUG and New Feature)
As suggested by @Abhishek Rao on Adobe community
I report here the problem and the new functionality...PDF Password (BUG and New Feature)
When I export a document to PDF from Indesign (or illustrator), I would need to password protect the Copy/Modification of the elements in my PDF, at the same time allow READING and PRINTING of that PDF document.
All this is currently ALLOWED BY "INDESIGN"! in PDF export.
When I create a PDF with these limitations, I open it in ACROBAT and I can SEE and PRINT IT.
When I try to MODIFY IT, Acrobat asks me for…1 vote -
Add Options to remove bleeds and cropmarks while Import PDF comments
Sometimes I get PDF files with corrections to be applied to the next printing addition.
Usually publishers apply such corrections to the production PDF, with format cropmarks .
InDesign can import the PDF without bleeds and crop marks (as you turn on the import options), But.... unfortunately PDF Comments, there is no such option that you can opt out of crop marks and bleeds, etc.1 vote -

By clicking in a file that does not exists anymore, it vanishes from recent items.
It would be perfect if the Indesign home interface behaved like Photoshop's: by clicking on a file that does not exist anymore, it just vanishes from recent items, helping to keep less cluttered.
