Chemin bibliothèque locale Indesign
Hello,
Would it be possible to have the address locally in the "library" panel, as in the link panel? Indeed, CC libraries are handy, but 1 plugin in particular does not support them (EasyCatalog), and it is not practical to find local libraries when you have several of them.
Thanks in advance.1 vote -

Failed to export pdf file - why?
The export process dies with the error mesage "Failed to export pdf file".
Please include the cause of the error! How can a simple user figure out what was the cause of the error? Practically the whole production process stops here, because inDesign continuously refuses to export the PDF.
I'm able to export the PDF 2-3 times, then the error comes. I can get rid of the error only by restarting the computer - obviously not a solution when working on catalogs.Dear IT team, please include what is the cause of the PDF export problem.

Need MORE features in InDesign's FORM tools.
We need more controls in InDesign's FORMS tools.
Although this was requested in https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/20482882-more-options-when-creating-forms-via-indesign, it was closed after font controls were added.
That's Not Enough! In fact, it's probably the least needed form feature of all.
The short list of what's needed:
— Add calculations and formula to a form field.
— Add JavaScripts and other programming to a form field.
— Color the background fill of a form field...and have it "stick" in the PDF, not be overridden by the user's Acrobat settings.
— When using tables to create a matrix of form fields for layout purposes, we…

"story list.xml"
Can someone please explain what the "story list.xml" is about, which (from time to time) is created when exporting to InCopy?
I have not found any documentation on this.Some inexperienced users are very irritated about this!

Share for Review comments link to incorrect spreads on web viewer after reordering pages in InDesign
I am using the new Share for Review feature to get feedback on a 100+ page document I am working on. Previously I tested reordering pages on a small document, and all comments and pins stayed attached to the page they were originally placed on, even when its page number changed.
However, after adding some pages to this larger document, I'm running into a problem where the comments are pinned to the correct page inside Indesign, but the wrong one in the web viewer. On the web, it seems to ignore the added pages and goes by the original page…

File Lock auto-release
We have multiple editors working remotely, with a policy of locking a file while working on it. But we have a repeated problem of files being left locked at the end of the day, meaning others are unable to work on them. Please add a pop-up on closing a file which asks "do you wish to unlock?".

Avoid Widows and Orphans in Paragraph Styles
It would be great to have a check box or even a separate tab for Widows and Orphans in Paragraph Styles. Right now you have to use GREP to get this to work or control them manually. It would be a huge time saver to add this option into the style settings. These are well-known and widely used typography rules that should be a part of InDesign.

Layer comps (Different View States)
I need to be able to easily export different view states of the same LARGE documents that get incremental updates, showing and hiding different layers and objects depending on who the exported file will be going to.
Having the option to use Layer Comps would allow for different view states to be enabled for each export.

Add Alert When Missing Fonts are Replaced with Enabled Adobe Fonts
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…

Group Layers
It would be an easy but valuable addition to be able to group layers in InDesign like we can do in Photoshop. That would allow various "versions" of a document to be turned off an on, as well as organizing more complex documents. We can group paragraph styles and swatches – why not layers? Palette items should be groupable across the board, for a consistent interface.
