1. Enable more functions in right click

   I wish right click would bring up more options - for example, right clicking a linked file should give me the option to 'reveal in finder' but I have to open the links pallets to get that. It would improve my workflow no end.

2. Align Text exactly to the left or right edge of the frame

   It's a very logn known issue in InDesign: Different font sizes have different spacings to left or right edge of the frame. The more the font size grows, the more the space to left or right edge of the text frame grows.
   From time to time in the past years my clients have noticed that in drafts for correction. This means a lot of additional manual work for large projects in order to align the font correctly.
   It would be great and an enormous relief if in one of the next versions the text frames are either already correctly preset, or if there would be the possibility in the style sheets to set the left or right alignment accordingly.

3. Option to set up a template to open with a default file name

   Add a check box when saving an indesign template that would allow you to create a default file name.

   For example, when I create a business card template for our company to use, I save the template as "Business Card (Name)" but when the template is opened it opens as "Untitled-1"

   Having an option to save the template to open as "Business Card (Name)" but also require the designer to use Save As when they are finished entering the information would help to ensure file naming consistency for a specific type of file across the whole design team.

4. How to put Change bar in Indesign

   Hi everyone!

   When working on technical documents we change/update something on page (a row, figure, text or table) and we want to put a sign (vertical line) next to that row, column or figure affected from this change. By doing this we want to inform users that there is an update along that vertical line and attract their attention.

   Another important thing is that vertical line shall move together with affected row, column etch.

   This function works god in Framemaker but unfortunately now I have to do it in Indesign and could'nt achive.

   If someone help me about this feature I will be appreciated.

5. InDesign - General ''style sheet and Master Page'' document attached to a book

   Hi All ! I think a ggod emprouvement can comes in InDesign with this idea :

   Right now, I'm often working on catalogs with multiple INDD files.

   Right now, I have to create a ''Base File'' where I configure all the styles of each sections/chapter and where I have to configure All the master page for each section of my catalog too.

   Well, each of my indesign file contains all the styles and, in fact, all the Master Pages of each section.

   Result : I star my layout with a file of 40Mo containing 30 Master pages.

   So, you''l say that I can delete them, but it's a dynamic job, and sometimes, I have to change the ''BASED Master page" that change all my Master pages.

   An if I want to view changes, I have to upgrade each INDD file importing (scratching) the old master page with the new one I've corrected.

   Here, I'm on a catalog of 53 INDD files and +/- 500 pages.

   You can imagine the time I take to update all the masterpages, one by one...

   THE IMPROUVEMENT :

   Is it possible to imagine something like web css file, with a specific file format attached to the 'Book' function and that contains

   • All Styles (charactere/table/paragraph)
   • All Colors and gradient
   • Most important : All Master pages.

   A sort of file like the Library, but for the styles and masterpages.

   Than, it could be synchronised easily with the book function and all the INDD files 'attached' to this book.

   It could be a great improvement for catalogs users !

   What do you think about that ?

   Best Regards,

   Fred

8. Select All Across Pages

   PLEASE create an option to select all objects or text over the entire document instead of just the page/spread you're on. Making a universal change to the document, such as outlining the type is such a pain having to manually change from page to page. I've seen MULTIPLE threads online for the past 8 years of people requesting this, and it hasn't been resolved.

10. Rename placed images (Bulk)

    Be able to rename already placed images in InDesign as a bulk, something similar to Adobe Bridge Batch Rename, the issue with Bridge will be I will have to place each image at a time in InDesign if I used Bridge to rename my images.

11. "Font Exceptions Table"

    I seem to recall that years ago, Pagemaker had a feature called "Font Exceptions Table" (or something like that, or maybe it was Ventura Publisher). It would allow you to tell PM; "Whenever a text file calls for font A, always replace it with font B." It essentially created a preference file, a table of fonts and their preferred replacement fonts. Hoping for such a feature in InDesign. Example: I produce a periodical newsletter with Optima as the font for the body text. My customer sends me Word and Excel files in which they have used an old TTF font called Optimum. Getting a little tired of doing the Find Font thing so repetitively. Would be nice if there was a way to tell ID; "Always replace Optimum with Optima (normals, bolds, italics, etc.)." Is this possible? Thanks!

12. Make the systemfonts invisible.

    As a graphic designer I use a font management system. Unfortunately it is not (anymore) possible to delete the endless list of unnecessary fonts at MacOs Catalina. When using the Adobe programs (Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator), the terribly long list of (unnecessary) fonts now appears. In this list, I have to find my activated letter fonts. Very annoying!

    Is it really not possible to remove or hide that list of Mac fonts?

13. Fix the defaults

    People rarely go into preferences and change the defaults. So for them it’s important to have good default values from the start. For people who know how to change the defaults it’s helpful if those defaults start out with the right values.

    I’m talking about the font size and leading increments and kerning/tracking value increments. Why would the default increment be two points for font size and leading, not one? Does Adobe think we want to make it faster to greatly increase the point size at the expense of not being able to dial in the exact point size size we need? The same with leading. If I’m trying to adjust leading with keyboard shortcuts I want to at least have the ability to get the exact point I want. Two points is obviously the wrong increment, and it has been for over a decade.

    Kerning and tracking are probably not adjusted by most users. For those of us that do we want a finer increment than twenty units. Five is the correct value here.

    Please, save us professionals the trouble of changing the defaults by setting them properly from the start.

    Oh, and these preferences should be application wide preferences, not document preferences. When I use the shortcut I expect consistent behaviour. If I increase the point size by two presses of the shortcut I expect to increase point size by two points. If I use the same shortcut on the same computer using the same version of InDesign but on a document created by another designer the shortcut might behave differently. Why would I want that to happen? The preferences for keyboard increment shouldn’t be saved with the document, they should be an application preference.

14. Change label for "Use Document Bleed Settings" to "Use Active Document's Bleed Settings"

    When exporting a book under Export Adobe PDF > Marks and Bleeds > Bleed and Slugs, it would be helpful (for other users to avoid the frustration of learning the hard way as I just did) to know that this setting uses the active document's settings rather than each document's respective settings (Guessing this is a limitation with how PDF is constructed, otherwise is this perhaps actually a bug?), or if no document is active that it will apply all zeros.

    The latter was the problem I encountered and was not expecting, as every document in my book has the same bleed settings (as I assume is the case for most users). Because I happened to have a document open for the last hundred or so exports I became accustomed to this feature setting bleed as expected, and so this was no longer on my manual checklist and consequently didn't realize the bleeds were set to zero until receiving my print proof (as I knew this was likely my final export I started to tidy everything up including closing all my active windows).

    Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, otherwise I think there's a very simple change that could be made that might save others this potential frustration, which is to merely change the checkbox label to "Use Active Document's Bleed Settings", and ideally disable the option if no documents are active.

    Thank You.

    Edit: Perhaps a bug after all, or at least related to one?... now when I use the setting, with an open document (which has correct bleed, and whose values are entered into the four disabled value inputs), the export still has no bleed. Setting those same values manually worked. Maybe just get rid of this feature (the "use document bleed settings" checkbox)? Cheers.

19. Shift+Alt+Cmd = shortcut for Step & Repeat

    After duplicating an object by holding alt (and shift, if you wanted to) in CS6, you could step & repeat the object(s) again and again by simply pressing Shift+Alt+Cmd.
    Neat! No trip to the menu-bar required. No aligning required.
    But that feature is lacking in the CC version. Why remove someting that really made life easy and worked!?

20. Zip Fonts When Packaging

    It would be great if there was an option to have fonts collected in a zip file when packaging a document. Fonts are often corrupted when transferred via the cloud, or FTP, and need to be zipped to maintain their integrity. It would be time saving if InDesign could do this automatically.
