Lyft background check?
It is an honor to be able to join the Lyft driver community, which sounds like one exciting environment. I am currently in the course of getting through the application steps. As I go through all the steps, I have thought about the thoroughness of Lyft with respect to what it looks for in a background check. While doing some research, I stumbled across this informative article (https://consumerattorneys.com/article/what-does-lyft-look-for-in-a-background-check), shedding light on the subject. I am very sure that your collective wisdom can provide more details.
Just for those of you who have firsthand experience in driving for Lyft…

Align Panel
The Align panel has the options to align to the selection, page, margin, key object and spread. You have to click on the icon to open a drop down and choose which one. There is plenty of empty space. I attached a mockup of the way it is now vs. how it should be. As someone thats constantly aligning things to pages and then selection, quick changing would be greatly appreciated!

AI-powered design assistance
To improve Adobe InDesign for <a href="https://www.cubix.co/mobile-app-development"> mobile app development </a> design, we could integrate AI-powered design assistance that suggests layout enhancements, color schemes, and typography adjustments in real-time, tailored specifically for mobile interfaces. Additionally, introducing robust real-time collaborative editing features would allow multiple designers and developers to work on the same project simultaneously with version control and live feedback options. Moreover, developing an advanced asset management system with cloud integration, AI-driven tagging, and easy retrieval of graphics, fonts, and templates would streamline the mobile app design process significantly.

Flatplan for magazines
Adobe does not currently offer a tool for page imposition when creating a magazine.
A magazine is produced from many documents, which are then compiled into a complete issue along with advertisements in PDF format.
We urgently need a tool that allows us to view the entire magazine as a whole.
Bridge could serve this purpose if it were able to display all pages from InDesign files and allow us to manipulate and move them as needed across the entire magazine.
Adobe Bridge could then be able to send this magazine structure for export and instruct InDesign on the position…

Indesign CJK Version Request : Standard Vertical Roman Alignment
Please add the simple feature of standard vertical roman alignment in adobe indesign CJK version as well.
In all the other versions of Indesign, and also in other basic applications like the photoshop or illustrator, there is an option to vertically align roman alphabets. However, in the CJK version, the vertical writing tool only provides the option to typeset the roman alphabets and numbers in a 90 degree rotated way.
If I wanted to write them vertically without having to rotate it, I have to manually do so in Character settings, but that is not a good option since the…

Create a text variable window to see and edit values faster
Right now you have to open each variable independently. Then if you want to change the value you have to save and exit each variable. Also you have to open each variable to see the value.
Please create a Text Variable Window with two columns. One for the Name the other for the value. This way we can see the variable and edit the variable. Add the add icon, and add duplicate variable icon.

Embedded Object Styles
I would find it helpful for inCopy files with an embedded Object to use the documents Object Styles.
At the moment I am creating bios, each bio requires a headshot. I have created a basic text box in InDesign into which I have embedded a small graphic frame to which I have assigned the Object Style "Headshot Box". Once this is created I open InCopy, place in the persons bio copy. Import the file into InDesign, edit it and place the relevant headshot in the "Headshot Box". I can then edit the Paragraph Style and Character Style, however to edit…2 votes -
UX improvement: When changing color on selected Text Fields, Text Color should be changed over textfields background color
It happens so often that I select a textfield, quickly pick a color from the color swatches and the entire text field gets a background color - although I obviously wanted to change the text color.
I have to manually go in and switch from text field background color to font color. I think this could be avoided.1 vote -
Support ODT files
ODT files are used by open source software Libre Office who inherited from both Open Office and Neo Office. It's used by Microsoft users, Apple Users and Linux users. Since it's open source software, it's 100% free. It allows for the same sort of features that Microsoft does as much as Google Docs does similarly.
Google currently does support ODT files. (see Screenshot) Shouldn't Adobe follow suit and do the same? Every other program does, so why not Adobe?
InDesign needs to support ODT files for the following reasons:
1. LIbre Office is Free.Adobe costs a lot of money…

Show Preflight error if there are objects on pasteboard
It would be really helpful to have a feature in Preflight profile settings to alert you if there are any items left on the pasteboard.
I often have to supply files for translation and any items left on the pasteboard may either incur extra translation charges or cause unnecessary confusion at back end. I know there is a script to remove pasteboard items, but I would prefer seeing that red dot as I often handle other people's files in which the objects may be in the oddest of places, such as far to the side and out of view even…

Preferences Search
It would be very handy if we could search the InDesign preferences. Sometimes it's not easy to remember which section a particular preference setting is under, so it would be great to be able to do a search for, say 'Default View', which is under 'Display Performance'.
Surely this wouldn't be too difficult a feature to bring into InDesign (and other Adobe apps)?

Overall project file contains different documents
It would be good to have the ability to combine several individual InDesign docs into one project file. So when the project is opened all docs are shown as separate tabs. Quark Express did this with 'Jackets' or something like that. This would tidy up job folders and maybe speed up the 'collect for output' stage if InDesign did them all at once rather than have to do individually with several fonts and images folders

Different layers for each page in a document
Each page in a document can have different layers. When producing artwork for personalised print items (like mailers) it would be good for each version (page) to have it's own variable layers to avoid having lots of layers that could lead to data being omitted if layer turned off

Add access to text inset function via right click
On a given shape, provide access to create text inset parameters via a right-click to the Text Frame Options menu box. Currently this access does not exist unless there is already text inside of the shape.

set width of a real gap between columns in a table
Setting a column/cell stroke to "paper" does not make a real gap between columns, when the table is on a colored background.
Please add a "gap width between columns" to your table/cell formatting.
