2. Accessibility to Authors

   For long book publishers (200–300 pages or more), the appeal of InCopy is being able to share text between the designer, editor, proofreader, and author. But InCopy is $240 for 1 year of use, so of course no freelance proofreader or author is going to buy it. Microsoft Word is far more accessible, $100 for one year and that includes the entire Office suite. Many people also use free online versions from the web or from years past.

   I would suggest making Adobe InCopy free or at least available for a much lower price. Making it free could actually make Adobe money as it would be a great gateway into the Adobe suite, similar to Acrobat.

   With the current pricemark, InCopy will never be able to compete with Microsoft Word or even Google Docs, and is completely interrupts the vision of having an open workflow.

   Just imagine if every author and proofreader OWNED InCopy and even WROTE their books in InCopy! The process would become streamlined and the writing field would begin to have its own staple, widely-used creative program just as graphic design and filmmaking do. (Of course, InDesign itself is not practical for authors as they can ruin things the designer has done, but InCopy...)

   Please consider this!

3. Dynamic baseline related unit of measurement

   Please consider the addition of a dynamic unit of measurement that relates to the document’s baseline. Such a unit will make it possible to express various parameters throughout the design as a multiplication or division of the document’s baseline.

   We would for example be able to express a header’s leading as twice the number of baselines, or a paragraph’s space after in any number of baselines.

   The unit’s relation to the document‘s baseline means that it’s dynamic: whenever you change the baseline, all values expressed in this unit will change accordingly. There will be no more need to adjust these parameters manually.

   Need More Info  ·  Anonymous responded

   Hi All,

   This indeed a great suggestion. I wanted to understand a little more about this request.

   1. The way this request is described its majorly about figuring out how to change the various text attributes in a single step rather than having to change multiple styles to make that happen. It would helpful if you can mention which all attributes you all would want to be dependent on the baseline (space before/after, size, leading any other).
   2. Which kind of documents (magazines, brochures, books etc.) do you see this to be more important for you.
   3. Wouldn’t a similar method (not sure if we could base it on baseline though!!) for changing the layout also help, if you could define the sizes of objects in relation to the page size. Do you think extending this feature to the layout also makes sense.
   4. If you can share some files as well which depict the before and after states described in this feature that would help.

5. Fit frame to text WIDTH (not just height)

   When working with text in a text frame, we have the FIT FRAME TO CONTENT button that collapses the frame height to the minimum height required to fit the existing text. That's great, use it all the time, but it doesn't collapse the width at all.

   It would be nice if there was also a checkbox/option or different button that would also collapse the text frame's WIDTH to the width of the longest line.

   This would make it quick and easy to distribute spacing between a bunch of little text boxes aligned in a row. Right now I have to manually adjust the width of every box by eye, then distribute the space between. Which is imprecise and time-consuming.

   The option to increase the size of Anchor Points, size of Direction Handles, and Bounding Box Display size was included in InDesign 2022 release.  

   This option can be found in the Preferences dialog > User Interface Scaling. 

   The size can be increased in 4 increments from Small to Large.

7. Auto Save and Seamless Crash Recovery

   During tight deadlines and rapid delivery cadences, the ability to track down and recover the InDesign file with updates in the event that InDesign crashed is troublesome.

   The current process is to track down the document within the path below (link available for more recovery methods) and the probability that all updates are available is in question.

   • Mac OS X: Users/[User Name]/Library/Cache/Adobe InDesign/Version[#.0]/InDesign Recovery
   

   https://helpx.adobe.com/in/indesign/kb/indesign-document-recovery.html

   However, this raises the need to easier more intuitive access to working files if we do in fact need to embrace the inevitability of crash occurrences. If adobe is not enhancing the InDesign product due to phasing out the product or low prioritization with competing business demands. The enterprise users need to be made aware of this in order to prioritize seeking other similar products that enable us to meet our business demands that require working with InDesign.

8. FINDING AND HIGHLIGHTING DOCUMENTS IN THE BOOK PANEL.

   Hi

   I have a long document, each page sets to one document file (e.g. 200 pages equal 200 documents in the Book Panel!). Each book file has own title, some titles are short and some longer.

   Finding documents by their own name is necessary for me through this long list and finding by scroll down and up to find a specific document is time-wasting, boring task.

   I didn’t find any features in the Book Panel pop-up menu. Do you know any tricks to find a document by its own title among the many documents in the Book panel?

   Also, some books files are incomplete and some complete and ready to print, export, publish and etc.., I’d like to mark or highlight some documents by something like a checkbox tick, changing color or something like that as finished documents and vice versa for incomplete ones to edit and modify later.

   It would be useful when we work on many books/documents, and we want to back them to finish those incomplete documents in future, not now.
   So opening and checking complete documents is not important and just we want to open and edit, modify unfished documents.
   As I understood and checked out the Book panel, it’s not possible to recognize which documents are finished, which ones needs to edit, modify, etc. later.

   I wish Adobe thinks about these challenges and fix them soon. (1- Finding documents in a long list by their own names and titles that we give to documents easily 2- Marking/highlighting documents by colors, checkbox or any user-friendly features and options to recognize which documents need to edit later and which ones are ready to export.)

   Best

9. Quick change of tables column width and row height

   Please give us the ability to set column width and row height of a table in one step.

   Today I only can change one table column after the other if I want different column width. The same is true for table rows if I want different row height as well.

   With the script (AutoColumn) from Gerald Singelmann it’s possible to change at least all column width in one step. I didn’t found a script for row height till today.

   I attached a video (AutoColumn.mov.zip) where I demo the script and perhaps this explains it a little bit better.
   I attached the script (AutoColumn.jsx.zip) I used in the demo as well.

   This script saved me tons of hours of manual work.

   It would be very helpful and time saving to have such a concept for tables in InDesign as a native feature!

11. Accessibility—PDF Export Preset

    In PRINT PDF export options, we have the option of saving settings as JobOptions which can be selected in the future from a drop-down menu.

    Need the same capability in INTERACTIVE PDF export options, too.

    And we also need preset for accessibility from both PRINT and INTERACTIVE PDF exports, one that ships and installs with InDesign and PDF Maker (MS Office) to automatically set the options for tagging and tab order.

13. Sharable Publish Online Dashboard

    I would like multiple users to be able to update on a single dashboard. We like the idea of being able to update an existing link instead of replacing it which can be a lot more work. Currently, if we link a published file to our website and only one person can update it that's a problem, for obvious reasons. The single file might be linked in multiple places and turn into a tedious workload.

    I'm wishing for an upgrade for InDesign to do this and make this tool even more powerful, it will be awesome!!

15. Thank You.

    Here’s something you might not hear often. Thank you. This new uservoice setup for logging bugs and suggestions is awesome. So many great constructive ideas on here and you do a good job implementing the popular ones. Unlike other apps that seem totally oblivious to user feedback (looking at you, Acrobat!), indesign has been getting genuinely better with every recent update. It’s exciting to see new user-recommended features put in place. Please continue listening to popular feedback requests and avoid changing things just for the sake of change (looking at you again, Acrobat).

    PS Can you go over to whatever planet the Acrobat team is on and help them out, maybe give them a few pointers ;-) ?

    Hello,

    In Indesign, it would be interesting in the 'text block' to have the option 'Adapt the text to the block'. The option exists for the image block 'to adapt the image to the block proportionally' to adapt this option to the 'text block' would be a saving of time and the possibility to automate a good number of works. For example, to change from A6 to A5 via the linked article system it works great with the image block and not at all with the text block. The only possibility of action with the 'Text block' is to enlarge or reduce it according to the amount of text you want.
    I would also like to be able to choose to enlarge or reduce the text in a 'text block' according to the size of the text block and not according to the amount of text that the block can or must receive.
    If it can put you on the track this function exists at CorelDraw when one has text in a 'block text' with a right click of the mouse one can adapt the text to the size of 'block text' and according to the amount of text in the text block increases or decreases the text size proportionally in the 'text block'.
    In the hope that my need and wish is realized in one of your next update of Indesign.
    cordially
