Export Adobe PDF - General - Pages - CURRENT PAGE
Export Adobe PDF - General - Pages - "Current Page" only.
Each time I want to export just one page from one Indesign document I have to type the page number. There should be an option "Current Page" not only "All" and "Range"4 votes -
GUIDES and View Outlines / Zoom
Would these small implementations be possible in Indesign?
GUIDES
- Creation of guides from Paths (as it works in illustrator)
- Possibility to move guides eg: 30°VISUALIZATION
- Possibility to have the display in Outlines (as in illustrator), It seems a stupid choice but it is often useful for selecting points and objects ...
I think that with the GPU acceleration just implemented this function would be feasible.ZOOM: Couldn't you increase the Zoom I don't know 8000% / 16000% ?? 64000%??????

Make it possible to anchor a graphic to the beginning of a paragraph without five or six tries and two or three zooms
It'll go AFTER the first letter…it'll go some random place in the first FEW letters, but before the first one? Especially if the first one is a sans-serif letter "I"? HAHAHAHAHAH! No. Not without cajoling, retrying, zooming, threatening, and telling it what a good little cursor it is.
I realize this isn't a **** problem, but it's been literally decades of this feature being…what's the technical term…bad.

Typographer’s quotes need to be the default
I have been using InDesign since 2006. The so-called “typographer’s quotation marks” that are an option that needs to be activated in the settings menu are quotation marks. Set as default is a glyph denoting an inch. This cannot be used instead of quotation marks and why that even is an option in pro software is incomprehensible. Even though the majority of InDesign users will be typographers, it is unnecessary to create an opportunity for less knowledgable users to make mistakes. – It’s a relic from the typewriter keyboard where there was only one glyph available for quotation marks and…

Typographer’s quotation marks need to be the default.
I have been using Indesign since maybe 2006. There is an item called “typographer’s quotes” and that is still present in the latest version. It should have been removed years ago. They are quotation marks. The default ones are the glyph for “inch”. This is a relic from the typewriter keyboard where there was only one key for both. Please amend asap.

CC asset anchored inline with text should change size with font in reflowable epub
For CC library assets anchored inline with text, can these be made to accomodate font size choices in reflowable epubs?
Jutoh is supposed to be able to do this, but I can't quite get it.
So far I cannot see how to make an asset, a tiny image to suit 12 point original font, change if the e reader changes font size.
Creating my assets was many steps also, and I figured it out with unfortunately no luck finding steps in the forum. But they work perfectly InDesign and also Affinity Publisher. They also change size of course manually in…

Long Paths support in Windows
As in all Adobe programs, LONG PATH SUPPORT in Windows must be implemented at the manifest level, according to Microsoft's own guidelines (SOURCE: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry):
<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<windowsSettings xmlns:ws2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings">
<ws2:longPathAware>true/ws2:longPathAware

InDesign Review Panel should NOT switch the filter to 'Resolved' when editing text with older resolved comments
I am often working on documents with multiple review sessions. The problem that occurs since the latest updates of InDesign is that as soon as I put the cursor in a piece of text which previously had a comment attached to it which is resolved, all resolved comments pop up in the comments panel and I cannot see the current comments: all comments are immediately filtered to 'resolved'. Of course I can switch off the filter for resolved comments again, but it switches back again to 'resolved comments' as soon as I start working on the text. This is driving…

Easier Workspace Profile Overwriting
When updating a custom workspace (via Window > Workspace), it would be helpful to have a direct option to overwrite an existing saved workspace—rather than requiring users to select “New Workspace…” and retype the same name manually to replace it.

Advanced GREP Substitution Based on Content Structure
Enhance the GREP search-and-replace functionality to allow targeting specific components within a content structure (e.g., tags, glyphs, or partial patterns) without altering the entire matched string. This would enable more precise and context-sensitive text manipulation.

Non-breaking Forward Slash Character
In addition to the existing “Nonbreaking Hyphen” and “Nonbreaking Space” options, it would be very useful to have a “Nonbreaking Slash” (/) character. This would prevent line breaks after slashes in certain contexts (e.g., dates, codes, abbreviations), improving typographic control.

An actually useful AI idea: Accessibility/Reading Order
I find many AI features unhelpful - if I need text to image I can do it in Photoshop or Express, I don't need my layout program to do it. What I would love to see AI do is be able to analyze documents and automatically fix accessibility issues, such as reading order and export tagging of headers etc.

Miro/Keynote-style simplified pen tool and magnetising arrows for diagrams.
Often I have to make flow charts and diagrams for our projects, and the power of the hyper-manual pen tool and frames tends to show down the design process when compared to similar processes in Miro or Keynote. If there was a way to make a simple curved line and magnetise it to a text box that would make pushing around content 1000% faster.

MathML Fonts Configure and CMYK color Usage
Hello Experts,
I have an doubt on how to configure the Math job fonts (e.g., STIX General and Mathmatical PI and Symbol fonts etc.,) to new feature MathML.

If we used in MathType it's very hard to manage the fonts, from system to system user editing the equations (eps format) if the fonts not installed and clash then the equations are shown empty box appeared…

Setting for location of new text-to-image generated images
Can there be a setting option for the default location of new text-to-image generated images - I would like to be able to set this to the folder containing the current document rather than the user/documents folder. Thanks!

A locate option when relinking files in InDesign like Adobe Premiere Pro has! This would save so much time finding those lost links.
When re-linking broken links, offer the option to locate the file be clicking a locate button and have it search quickly a folder or specified area on local disk or server share like Premiere Pro does with missing linked assets. This would save countless hours hunting down those lost links that happen to EVERYOne. Please ad this feature for us. Our team has to try to search them down manually as there is no good way to search a server share as Mac OS built in search refuses to search properly most times. Most files don't even show up but…

Publish Online - Shared Access
For companies, it would be very beneficial to see all online published documents from everyone in the organization. This would help to still maintain one external link to open the published files, but in the case of employee(s) leaving the company, the file can still be updated.
As of now, it is not possible to see or update links/documents that other people published online.
Please rework, much needed feature. Please upvote!!!
