Hyperlinks report
The Hyperlinks panel needs to be better overhauled please. I have a 300 page magazine with hyperlinks in each section (different sections provided by a team) ... so a Report Hyperlinks option would be very useful please, in the same way you can generate a Report in the Links panel.

QR-Code - Overprint Attribute for Black not available
QR-Code - make overprint attribute for Black available
At this time it is unfortunately not possible to set the attribute for overprint for a black QR code. As today QR codes are well readable on bright colors or images it definitely would be advantageous if this option would be given to avoid register problems in printing.4 votes -

Properties Panel - make it customisable
I'd like to be able to add things that I use often to it.
For example, with nothing selected, it has the options for the Document Layout.
I would like to add to that to includeExport PDF - and select my proof settings
So in essence - I could add the options to export to
Print Ready PDF
Proof PDF
Image file formatetc. - just to be able to add those things would make this panel even better.
There are other things I'd like to add to this property panel - but that's the general idea, and everyone…

Footnotes in Separate Detached Frame.
It is a very important feature to be able to customise the layout of footnotes with full control. Currently footnotes in InDesign are attached to the main text frame, & you have no control over it.
We suggest being able to have footnotes in a separate fully customisable text frame, while still being linked to the main frame!

Distribute gradient colour stops evenly
It would be nice if there was a button in the gradient palette that automatically distributed all the colour stop locations evenly from 0% to 100%.
Often gradients have 5+ colour stops in them, and it becomes tricky when adding more stops to then rearrange them all across the entire length.

Making index of names, ID can´t find anything else than basic names, not genetives, like Hovi/Hovin. Find and replase you can find names by putting ̭ "any mark"-marks of the end of the name, Hovi⋀$. Could you make ID better by fixing this problem for we finnish grammar using users :)

More error information when exporting to PDF
Problem Description: There are some times when exporting to a PDF, the dialogue box will show there is an error which results in no PDF being created. That is all the information we get and therefore have to guess what the problem is. Some more information would be useful.
When exporting an interactive PDF, I noticed that you get far more information when the PDF is being created.
If we had this information added to the Background Tasks when exporting a normal PDF, it would give us a clue what page is causing the problem.
I've attached a screenshot to…

Underline options > color should be TEXT COLOR by default!!
I have to import Word files in InDesign many times and the text looks black but it's not. I try to select the whole paragraph and change it to black but the underlines remain RGB! So I have to select each one to change it to TEXT COLOR. Why can't it be text color by default...or be selected with the whole paragraph and be changed together with the text??

Organise Black Document Presets
I would like to organise the Black Document Presets by dragging and dropping them into the position that I want. This would save time because I never use the four top presets.
I would use this feature by dragging A4, A5 and A3 to the top of the list so I don't need to click on View All Presets.

possibility to change the filename when making a PDF while packaging
We always define our PDF's with a coding for HR or LR, and I always need to manually add it after packaging. Why not make the naming of the PDF standard as identical to the indd filename, but with an option to change it or add something to it, like what PDF settings where used.

customize number/bullet lists without multiple style sheets
There should be some way to customize bullet and numbering lists without making multiple style sheets and then reapplying those styles to exisiting areas where styles are already applied. This is a crazy amount of work to do something that has to be done fairly regularly.

Restart footnote/endnote numbering after chosen Paragraph Style
Please add the possibility to reset the numbering of footnotes/endnotes in the paragraph style.
This should be a Paragraph Style Option.
If someone works in just one long tread, it would be much faster to reset footnotes or endnotes numbering automatically after specific paragraph style instead of making sections once and once again (after every reflow) .

Move objects to a different layer through F/C dialog
Would be nice if F/C dialog allowed moving text (and so forth text frames) to a specific layer. Actually this is only feasible per script. User could deport specific text frames to a specific layer in a easy way.

More intuitive Page move UI
Pages palette:
In a non facing pages document, when moving a page, the indicator line for the destination is shown beside a page. I would expect it above/beneath a page.2 votes
