  2. Need to add a Haitian Creole dictionary to InDesign

    Hello all;

    At HistoryMiami Museum, we produce a lot of material in the three most spoken languages in our community, English, Spanish and Haitian Creole, following the Miami-Dade County government best practices. InDesign has already incorporated dictionaries in English and Spanish. We are looking for a comprehensive Haitian Creole dictionary to add to InDesign, for spellcheck purposes. We would appreciate any help with this matter. Thank you.

  3. Incompatible 100% view between Indesign and Illustrator to Photoshop in Versions 2020

    When I set object dimensions or text sizes in Indesign / Illustrator, 100% view shows larger-sized objects (in pixels) that do not match the actual dimensions as apears in a screen-shot. Meaning: There is a difference in 100% view between Indesign and Illustrator to Photoshop. This makes it difficult to design for web in Indesign/Illustrator. This issue did not exist in earlier versions such as CS5.5.

  4. Find

    Find searches for anything that is NOT the term. eg. Find NOT 12 pt will select text that is not 12pt

  5. Allow negative indentation!

    Please allow negative indentation!

    That would make all kinds of hanging bullets, chapter numbers and outdentations easy without any workaround (like "indent everything but the headlines and lists" ...). It would make text layout faster, purer and cleaner, as the type area could be correctly defined just for the copy text.

    I think this simple change should be easy to implement and bring enormous relief for our craft.

  7. Increase offset marks higher than 25,4 mm.

    I'm creating prints for many kinds of POS materials, where bleeds are often around 100 mm and more, and I need offset to be same as bleeds.
    Same with Illustrator.
    Thank you!

  8. InCopy - Export to PDF - option for hyperlinks

    An option to include hyperlinks in InCopy's Export/Adobe PDF function would:

    1. Help editors in proofing rounds with authors
    2. Free up designers from having to export hyperlinked PDFs for author proofs from InDesign.

    My editors work in InCopy and export PDF proofs for our authors to proof. Unfortunately, since the hyperlinks don't export, authors can't check them for accuracy.

    Worse yet, Acrobat tries to make the links work but URLS split between lines result in broken links, giving Authors the impression the hyperlinks are there but incorrect. Having the hyperlinks actually export from InCopy will help our authors more accurately proof…

  9. rotate canvas in InDesign

    It would be great in the next version on InDesign if they included a rotate canvas function like in Photoshop. I use that function so much when I need the right angle to do my work.

  11. Keep things in the grey area from moving

    When I put objects in the grey area of the workspace or use a guidelines across a spread and then add pages before it all moves. There is a reason that i've put guidelines on a certain page and objects next to a certain page, I might need them again and I certainly don't want them to be moved all over the place whenever i add pages.

  13. Line spacing measured in millimeters

    When working with grid systems, measuring the line spacing in millimeters would be practical—similar to the default setting for strokes.

  14. Allow using existing folder path for cloud sync

    currently there is no option to choose existing folders i want to backup \sync to the cloud
    so this makes the idea of sync useless for me, since if i would change my existing projects folder paths it would break things up in my projects files links

    curretly adobe forces the user to use their folder (under any path) and place the files there

    very poor workflow !

  15. Creative Cloud Documents - File Open facility needs vital features

    I think one of the most important facilities for making good use of Cloud Docs will be document management. I have been extremely frustrated by the total lack of such features in the recent Document Open interface, which just lists some very small number of recent docs, without any consideration of folders, projects, clients, or other important organizational features. The OS provides us with hierarchical folders that can do a fairly good job of organizing the dozens (sometimes hundreds) of files on a project or for a client, but without some facilities for that purpose, I can see the proliferation…

  16. Align round a circle

    There shod be an option (in all of the Adobe programs) to have align around a circle and to be able to distribute the objects evenly around a circle (or other shape for that matter)

  17. Add an x to close out a color theme box easily like other panels

    Make it easier to close out the color theme box after using the color theme eye dropper tool. Currently, you have to reselect the color theme tool in the toolbar and press esc, which is not at all obvious, simple, or easy to remember.

  18. Request to have InDesign Server added to our Admin portal for downloading and user management

    NOAA has one Admin portal where we access all licensed software. I am writing to request that access be provided to download this software. We are licensed for one copy and Anthony Johnson is the licensed user (anthony.johnson@noaa.gov). Have to go to the LWS site to grab it and the serial number is counter to where I thought Adobe was going with all of its software. Proof of ownership is attached. -Mike

  19. Add additional interactive options to the buttons and forms panel

    The buttons and forms panel (used for making interactive form elements for PDF) is missing several options that are available in Acrobat such as:
    * insert image button
    * insert date button
    * insert barcode button

    There was a request to do this but it was marked FIXED and (in my humble opinion) is far from fixed - https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/20482882-more-options-when-creating-forms-via-indesign

  20. Adjustable row- and column lines

    I'm setting this student book and the designer made nice tables.
    The tables have no touching intersection where row line meets column line.
    It's approved by the client who loves these tables.
    The problem is that the designer has drawn the lines by hand. As a typesetter you curse at it and find a solution for your 200+ tables, wich I did with a mix of paragraph borders and underlining/paragraphlines but I'm gonna cry pure salt if I need to make changes to this. With some clients you never know ;) I will attach a screenshot from a simple example.
