1. Maintain Scripts when updating

   My Adobe Indesign was recently updated to a newer version. Every time this happens I lose the scripts that were installed to make the program more productive. It would be great if you could update to a newer version of InDesign and not have to reinstall your scripts every time you update the program.

   When you update Indesign it can remember your preferences. Why can't it remember your scripts as well.

2. Crops Marks should automatically offset the same distance as the bleed

   I does not make any sense that the default offset for crop marks is less than .125" There isn't a finishing trim method that can use crop marks closer than that. The default 0.0833 in setting is useless for production. It only causes problems and renders the bleed virtually useless.

   I work in grand format print and the problem is far worse. We require .5" or 2" bleed consistently for gallery wraps, museum exhibits etc. We constantly get pdfs from clients where the bleed is 2" but the crop marks are only 0.0833" away from the page size. This renders all the bleed useless. Bleed is only useful up to the crop mark.

   And yes, there is a printer mark Fixup in Acrobat. But after the latest indesign update, that Fixup no longer functions the way it used to. Previously any crop marks outside the page size would be removed. Now, if the crop mark is outside the page but in the bleed it is not removed. Even if it is touching the bleed it is not removed.

   Most designers just use the default settings because they know little about production. If the crop marks automatically offset the same distance as the bleed setting, it would be a tremendous help to print producers.

3. Add unicode categories to the list of available GREP choices

   If you've ever had to write out a GREP code and weren't sure of the character, you can click on the @ to call up a list of known codes to choose from while in the find/change menu OR the GREP styles panel.
   However, there is a selection that is missing that GREP in InDesign is known to handle, and that is unicode categories:
   https://www.regular-expressions.info/unicode.html
   for example, if I type into the GREP find field - right now - the following code:
   \p{Zs}
   I know that InDesign's GREP will find all spaces except tabs and returns. However, this isn't an option available from the UI right now. My request is to include these unicode searches as part of the UI.

6. Copy dependent files to Links on save

   Can we please have a checkbox in the Save dialog that enables us to automatically collect all dependent files to the Links folder when saving the file?

   I know there is an option to copy links to a folder but this is a manual process. I think the option I’ve described above will alleviate many issues with people unknowingly leaving links in their Downloads folder etc.

7. Enhanced Full Vertical Justification feature

   Currently, InDesign's vertical justification is very basic and has several drawbacks that render it useless for professional layout.
   1. Very limited Control. The only parameter you can set is the additional gap that will be added between paragraphs.
   2. Beyond that threshold, InDesign adds gaps between the paragraph lines - a typographical catastrophe, without any possibility for control.
   3. The VJ control is and text frame attribute and not in the paragraph style level' which causes un proportional separation between headlines and text - again, typographically un expectable.
   4. The alignment is done without any consideration to the amount of text in the frame, and needs to be treated (either manually or by script) in text frames that contains a small amount of text, like at the end of a chapter.

   The proposed solution will define some new attributes and features to the full VJ, which will improve the result given in the current situation, and provide a solution to the above mentioned problems.

   My proposed solution is as follows:

   [Paragraph and Paragraph Styles]

   Here are two optional methods:
   [Method A]
   In the Paragraph and Paragraph Styles attributes, create five new fields:
   Title: Full VJ optional Spacing
   A. Space before: Field 1 - Max. expand. Field 2 - Max. shrink.
   B. Space after: Field 3 - Max. expand, Field 4 - max. shrink.
   C. Field 5 - Line spacing. The default value will be 0 (zero).
   All the values in Millimeters\Points.
   When the basic value of the Space Before\After is 0 (zero), fields 2 and 4 will disabled.

   [Method B]
   In the Paragraph and Paragraph Styles attributes, create a Justification like interface to control the parameters settings for the full VJ options, except the parameters will be: Space Before Variation, Space After Variation, and Line Spacing Variation.
   For each parameter, the 3 percentage values will allow setting the Minimum, Desired, and Maximum spacing changes allowed.
   The full VJ will be implemented according to combined calculations of all the above settings (Space Before spacing method and values, Space After spacing method and values, and line spacing value), similar to how the 3 parameters 3 values combination of the Justification feature works.

   To resolve cases when the Space Above or Space Below are set to 0 (zero), in which the respective 3 value fields of the Space Above Variation or Space Below Variation should be dimmed (because you can't set a variation to a 0 value) ,my suggestion is that this section/dialog will include a representation of the Space Before and Space After fields which will allow the user to set spacing value directly from the full VJ settings interface, the same way the Indent value fields allow to set the paragraph indents from the Bullets & Numbering dialog/section.

   In addition, add a Force Justified Vertical Justification options (radio buttons) that will determine the full VJ behavior when the values of all the parameters are not sufficient to achieve a full vertical justification in the current text frame height.
   Option will be: (1) Justify to Top; (2) Partial VJ - the result with the maximum values applied; (3) Forced VJ - a forced spread with spacing violations over the defined values.

   [Text Frame Options]
   Add a Contents Threshold field to the Text Frame Options dialog that will allow the full vertical justification to be performed only if the text frame contents fills more than the designated percentage of the frame height.
   The default value should be set to 85% or 90%.

   Currently, InDesign's vertical justification is very basic and has several drawbacks that render it useless for professional layout.
   1. Very limited Control. The only parameter you can set is the additional gap that will be added between paragraphs.

8. Interactive > Set Tab Order - greater sorting options

   Allow the panel that opens when Interactive > Set Tab Order is invoked to be much larger so as to be able to sort interactive objects more easily. Allow them to be nested into groups to allow easier order sorting. Highlight actual object on page when selected in the order so as to easily identified when sorting large numbers.

9. Give Indesign Online Flipbook features

   I would love to use PublishOnline instead of paying for Issuu separately, but the flipbook functionality is abrasive (not smooth page turning). If it could have a better page-turning feature (ideally options for how the transitions happen) I would be willing to look past the loss of other features.

10. Indesign Lite

    Comment - Adobe should come out with InDesign Lite - sell it like Photoshop Elements - NOT A SUBSCRIPTION. I don't need or want all the bells and whistles of Indesign - give me Lite! Becoming an issue because of the new Mac update to Catalina won't support earlier Indesign. Moving to open source alternatives.

11. Indesign should Natively already have the capability 2 expensive 3rd party plugins add. EasyCatalog and in5 should not be needed at all.

    EasyCatalog plugin by 65bit vastly improves Indeisgn's terrrible and dated Data automation and catalogue ability. It is expensive and adds features indesign should do much better by now. Same is true for in5 a plug in to add html 5 export ability and makes up for the total abandonment of the DPS options. Lucidpress offers better digital magaizne options and spreadsheet linking at the moment.

13. Snap to frame edges/layers

    In Photoshop, there are very robust options for snapping to guides, grids, layers, document bounds, etc. each of which can be turned on and off individually.

    In InDesign, snapping is much more limited and it is only possible to snap to guides. This means that whenever snapping is desired, guides must be created, which is an extra step that could be streamlined by expanding snapping options to be more like Photoshop.

16. remove canvas size limits for wide format printing _ or make an option to work in 10% scale mode

    Either remove the limitations or provide a "10% mode" that can be switched to (with a click of a button) that calculates dimensions and gives a visual representation of the artwork degradation of the files after enlarging to 100%

    actually anything that would help large format printers - which is a large part of your user base - but seems to be forgotten during your program design stage

17. Use Nearest Available Font Weight Instead of "Unavailable" Error

    When switching fonts, instead of generating an "unavailable font" error when a font weight doesn't exist, automatically use the closest available weight based on the previous setting.
    For example, when switching from a font that has Black to a font that only has Bold or Regular, simply use the closest available weight e.g. Bold, rather than generating the "unavailable" error.

20. Calendar & layout

    I have noticed that whenever I try to create a calendar in InDesign there is not a practical way to place the day and month automatically.
    For example, the software allowed me to place the number in order form one to 31 but I cannot place the date automatically, like Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and so on.
    I wish this indesign engineers can figure out a way you can add Recurring date and month autumnally. Just like the number I know that I can make a master page and the numbers can appear in order I want the software to understand that the date from Monday to Sunday will be repeating from Jan to Dec.

    Please add this feature to indesign. It will make all us in the calendar designing business very happy!
