  1. Update only some pages of an earlier exported PDF

    When Exporting a big document, sometimes after a change it would be nice to update only the changed page in the exported file.
    - it would save time as the export would complete faster
    - no need to have all the linked files of the whole document locally just to update one page
    - it would save me exporting one one some pages and then opening the old PDF file in Acrobat and replacing the updated page manually.

  2. Window size-changing

    I find that Photoshop, Acrobat, Bridge and Dreamweaver all follow Apple’s standard of double-clicking at the top of a window to make it expand to full screen or return to the previous size. InDesign (v.19.0.1) apparently does not (I use only these five Adobe Cloud apps). InDesign windows will double-click expand to full screen but won’t returning to their previous size. The alternative, dragging the right-hand edge, is very tedious.

  3. Export Share for Review Comments

    Our Engineering department needs to be able to track the comments made on documents which are shared for review as part of their audit procedure.

    It would be great if after the document has been shared for review and the Engineering team provide their feedback, they could then export the pdf along with all of the comments.

  6. Migrate file templates with new versions of Indd

    It would be nice if my saved file templates migrate with new versions of for example Indesign and Photoshop. Now I have to re-make them with every new version of the programmes.

  7. Can we please remove all the question marks from InDesign placeholder text?

    All of the question marks in placeholder text are an unrealistic representation of typical body copy. I end up having to remove them all when developing layout comps. Not a big deal, but annoying.

  8. native comments

    Give us us native comments within inDesign, or at least allow the person who shared a document for review to add comments in/from the file itself. I currently have to share for review just to add comments to my own file, which adds another stage to our process.

  9. Move the Share for review search box

    The share for review search box is in almost the same place as the type a comment here box, which is really confusing. It's too easy to write a comment rather than search for the text. Also the search box is slap bang on top of the highlight button etc.... so I search for a piece of text that I wanted a comment on and then have to close the search box before I can highlight it, making a long process even longer.

  10. Share for review Keyboard shortcuts

    Give us keyboard shortcuts for highlight this text plus this colour. At the moment it takes a looong time just to get to typing in the comment. This would streamline the process, making it much more efficient.

  11. carry colours from Share for Review comments over to those same comments when they're shown in the indesign file

    carry colours from Share for Review comments over to those same comments when they're shown in the indesign file. At the moment all highlights default to yellow.

  12. wrap the first line of text around an anchored object

    Please please give me the option to wrap the first line of text around an anchored object. It could even just be a checkbox in the Anchored Object options window. I run into this problem all the time and the band-aid fixes of manually adjusting the indent or trying to put the image at the bottom of the previous line of text take so much unnecessary time.

  14. Gradients saved in Library

    Is there a way that gradients can be added to the Adobe Library, like how we can add gradients to colors/swatches? I spend a lot of time making gradients in InDesign that are part of branding for the clients I work with. Being able to save the custom gradients to the Library through InDesign to be used in other Adobe programs would be a huge help.

  16. Title.indb as a text variable accessible for any document part of the book

    Title.indb as a text variable for any document part of the book. Sometime when a book is printed (especially direct to print proof) it's difficult to know (remember- follow) which version you're at without putting the info inside the book itself. Having a text variable that updates automatically would be nice, you place it - you forget it - one less thing to check when printing

  17. Improve IDML accuracy

    Currently, IDML export is not accurate: opening the IDML file in a previous version – even the most recent – results in errors in paragraph numbering and cross-references. Exporting long document results in such a long list of errors which would be so time-consuming to fix that makes it unfeasible.

  19. Indesign 2024

    To the developers:

    I am in charge of a newspaper in the north of Spain, ALERTA. I am considering whether to switch to the new InDesign 2024 following the information from the presentation meeting your company held. It has taken me time to adapt our catalog to your new policy on Type 1 fonts. Once this issue was resolved, and I was able to look at the new features of the new version, I found that some of the things said in that presentation are either false or not entirely true to reality. That story about the new paragraph styles…

  20. Presets for Jpeg quality and resolution exports

    For some digital we have file size limits and need to export at lower resolution higher compression, but for others we need exports at the highest quality. It would be nice to have presets for exporting so we don't need to keep updating the output settings for each project.
