2. Integrated controls for styles

   I think it would be more intuitive to integrate styles in with the manual controls they go with, especially for character and paragraph styles, like so:
   -slide the panel left to see the current settings and make manual changes, slide the panel right to switch to a new style.
   -When you look at the manual controls, every element has an icon to show that it is matching a style, and another icon shows if an override is applied.
   -click an override icon to remove that specific override

3. Changes to the review tools

   First, I'm using ID 15.1.3 and I cannot upgrade at this time. Not sure how much of these ideas would be resolved by upgrading.
   -Is it possible to make pins and pencil lines transparent? There are two ways I can think of: a percentage slider just like alpha control in color settings, or a three point switch: hide/semisolid/solid. Either way I would like to see this as a control for each comment so you can choose it individually. Right now the pin or pencil line blocks the art somewhat, which is where the transparency would be handy.
   -Right now, you can move a pin and rewrite a comment, but other edits are not possible. Here is what I would suggest: select a menu item or button for 'edit' in the comment you want to change, pick the tool you want to use. The marking for the old comment is 'greyed out' while you make the new marking. Use a cancel button to go back to the old marking or confirm button to use the new marking, with the text of the comment fully retained.
   -The option to use a 'crosshair' precision pin. Why is the current pin a pixel block anyway? Or is that just a redraw bug?
   -I previously suggested (in the wrong place) that comment markings could be inserted into an exclusive layer. Now I think they could be better served if they are treated like guide rules. Or better yet, offer both options.

4. Pages pallet thumbnails need updating to be easier to see selections

   I find seeing were I am in a document difficult in the pages thumbnails.
   As I scroll through a long document there's no indication of the page I'm looking at until I click an element on the screen page. And then the "indicator" is just the subtle highlighting of the text and a colour overlay on the thumbnail.
   Feels like a legacy thing. If it was created new today we'd use something far more obvious.
   I'd like to see a rectangle floating over the pages that matches the frame of the main document window (for example).
   Or at least a selected page needs to stand out far more than it does. Right now it takes some serious visual searching to see what is selected. Make it larger, frame it, make it glow... something that shows in a quick scan.

   Thanks!

5. Double page / spread preview

   I would appreciate a double page / spread preview for single page documents. That would allow me to work with single pages to achieve certain bleed needs (example: single printed menu card sheets that need bleed all around - but still show as double pages inside the menu book) while still being able to see the layout as a whole. That saves the time of sticking the pages together and separating them afterwards again.

   This requests asks for a different approach, but I assume for the same purpose: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/31305193-auto-speads-into-pages

6. Interactive Form Fields need to be fully editable (i.e. Color, paragraph styles, Sample Text)

   When exporting an Interactive PDF from InDesign, we still need to be able to assign Colors and Paragraph Styles AND retain the FPO copy we have typeset in the Text box.

   For example, in my attached screenshot, when I choose to export as an Interactive PDF, I need to see all of the copy within the box show up exactly as shown. I have it set up so that it still feels slightly designed (despite being a form) and worded so that the client can follow along and replace certain parts with specific language. Right now upon export, this copy turns into black text without any of what's shown being retained and visible in the Interactive PDF.

   Thank you!

8. "Yes to All" button when edits have been made to the imported version of a file location.

   The lack of a "Yes to All" button when updating all links to a file location is debilitating. I literally have to press enter almost 3,000 times every time that InDesign notifies me that...

   "Edits have been made to the imported version of "document name.here". You will lose these edits (with the exception of changes applied to spreadsheets through cell styles or table styles) when you update the link. Update anyway?"

   The only options are "Yes" or "No" which requires me to sit there and hit the enter button for each pop-up message for an hour! Not to mention that all of my changes are always applied via cell and table styles, so the message doesn't even apply to me. Because of my regular work in these large project sizes, I have to do this 3,000 enter button dance several times per week. It is a pretty infuriating waste of time for an easy "Yes to All" button addition.

11. Book synchronize feature does not synchronize color groups

    Color groups are not synchronized via the book feature. I'm happy that the colors inside the group are not lost but placed "normal" on the first level of the color panel.

    But to have all book files with the same order even at the color panel would be great. So please make synchronizing work correctly even at this tiny thing.

    Thanks to Heike Burch for discovering this issue.

13. Export XMP metadata with exported JPG and PNG images

    Currently, when you select a single placed image, and choose File > Export and export the selection as a JPG or PNG, any metadata that is present in the image (keywords, description, etc) does not appear in the exported image.

    What I would like is that if a single image is selected to export, that InDesign would retain all the XMP metadata (or at least the keywords) applied to the image when the image is exported.

    The reason this would be useful is that sometimes users will crop and scale an image in InDesign, and then want to export the cropped image to a JPG and edit it in Photoshop, and then re-import it into InDesign. Currently, if they do that, the metadata is lost.

14. Choosing book layers to output for Print/PDF

    I produce several multi-language books & brochures that consists of up to 114 separate documents linked via a Book file. Each language has its' own layer with the same name in all documents while other layers are exclusive to, or only exist in some documents. Currently when I have to Print or create a PDF of a specific language I have to open every single document to activate the layers I want visible, save, and then proceed to output the entire book.

    I would like to propose that Indesign incorporate an additional tab in its' print/pdf dialog boxes that lists ALL layers across all documents selected and allows the user to choose via a checkbox which layers are to be output.

    Furthermore I'd like to suggest layers with the same name work similar to how the Links dialog works where I could select the top-most label to output all layers with the same name -OR- have a drop down that lists the documents that layer name is found in & allows me to select which ones I want output or not.

    Additionally, I would like to be able to SAVE active layer settings so they can be reloaded rather than having to re-indicate which layers need to be activated/deactivated again when I go to reprint any particular language. This of course will likely require an indicator if available layers have changed within any of the selected files within the book.

    This would save a tremendous amount of time & effort especially when a change occurs across all languages requiring I output the entire book for each language. Currently having to open, activate/deactivate layers, & re-save every document for each language I need to output is extremely time consuming & ridiculous.

    Thank you in advance for your consideration. I truly hope you will choose to implement this suggestion.

    Respectfully,
    Len Zigante

16. Changing the Language of Placeholder Text

    If you want to change the 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭 to a different language, you need to:
    1. Click 𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞
    2. Hold down the 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 (Mac) or 𝐂𝐓𝐑𝐋 (PC) key
    3. Then click 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭
    4. 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 appears

    That's four steps.

    A simpler way would be to add under 𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞 before 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭:
    𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 >
    Cyrillic
    Roman
    Greek
    Hebrew
    Arabic
    Japanese
    Korean
    Simplified Chinese
    Traditional Chinese

17. Give an indicator of page's section when creating hyperlink.

    When there are multiple page section in the document and each of them has a page number restart again from one, e.g.
    Section 1: Page 1 to Page 10
    Section 2: Page 1 to Page 25...
    and have to create hyperlink, all these page numbers repeat. To find the correct page it is necessary to scroll and check carefully which page with number 3 for example you need to hyperlink (page 3 from Section 1 or page 3 from Section 7...). My proposal is to create short index (maybe the first letters of senction's name) beside the page number in the drop-down menu, so the user could easily identify to which page is creating the hyperlink. Selecting the Section from a drop-down menu before choosing the page number would also work.

18. Refresh Adobe Fonts button

    I added 5 styles of Adobe Garamond fonts at fonts.adobe.com and went back to Indesign. They weren't showing up yet so I closed Indesign and then reopened it and they weren't there. I searched help and Google and couldn't find a solution so I contacted Adobe customer support. The Adobe agent suggested the following:

    "Please close Indesign and open fonts.adobe.com and then deactivate those 5 fonts and sign out from there. Sign in again and active those fonts and then open Indesign and check."

    By that time the fonts had refreshed in Indesign so I didn't need to do this.

    The current situation wastes time. I should be able to click a button in Indesign (or any Adobe app that uses fonts) to "refresh fonts."

19. When creating hypertext links, please add the ability to configure the link to open in a new browser window.

    Many of the PDFs I create are opened and viewed via Web browser. It's annoying to the user -- and takes them away from our content -- when they click on a link and the link opens in the same browser tab.

20. High Res Tif's not rendering

    High Res Tif's are not rendering when imported into an InDesign document. V15 and v16 rendering engines need to be updated.
    When a High Res Tif is inserted and expanded (zoomed in) it does not render in High performance mode but looks like Fast screen mode.
    
    I have verified this with Adobe InDesign Technical Support that this is not a user setting, but an engineering bug. It is not a resolution issue as the file looks fine when exported to a PDF.
