InDesign Encoder
Hi fellows and Adobe Community?
I work every day on Adobe softwares like Photoshop Illustrator InDesign and also on Premiere Pro and After Effect.
Today, I would like to point something and I let you join this conversation and leave comments.One thing I really appreciate with Premiere and After, is that I can still work on my projects while I'm exporting videos or animations in Media Encoder. One thing I don't really like using InDdesign, is that when I'm doing an export file, PDF or JPG or whatever, I cannot keep going work in InDesign.
Hey Adobe crew. Is…

Attached are an example of what I'm wanting, and two shots of the paragraph rule settings I'm currently using to try and accomplish.

Allow Custom Cell Padding on Imported Spreadsheets
When importing excel or spreadsheets (.xls), Indesign CC automatically sets the cell padding on top/bottom as 0.0556" (or equivalent). There is currently no way to set default cell padding when Indesign is open without any publications/files open, nor is there an option when importing a document/spreadsheet.
Either allow for imported cell padding to be listed within the 'Show More Options" within the import screen, or allow for a global default cell padding to be entered into Indesign.
When publishing files that pull or link cell data from excel, each time the excel file is updated, it is a VERY manual…

Place dialogue box: make "All Pages" to be default option instead of "Previewed Page"
It will be a very useful feature (it will save a lot of time) to allow the user to select the default option in the Place dialogue.
This would be very useful when you have to import all the pages of a great number of files: one could make "All Pages" the default option so to skip all the dialogue boxes that show for each file.For example:
You have 50 Illustrator (ai) files. Each file contains 2 canvases.
You could tell Indesign to keep the "all pages" option in the first tab of the "Import options" dialogue as the…

Mixed orientation printing within the same document
Please consider implementing mixed orientation (auto orientation) with printing so it saves people time from having to export to PDF first then print as it is only possible through Acrobat at the moment.

Track changes for anchored stories automatically
When you turn on Track Changes for a story, you have to remember to also click inside any/all anchored stories and turn on Track Changes individually for them as well. I think it's a given that when you're tracking changes to a story, you want to track changes to all "child" stories as well. This should happen by default.

Bleed on different size page documents
Allow for documents with different size pages the ability to choose which page has bleed. For example, when creating a document that has a card and envelope in it, choose the card page to have bleed/crop marks and remove bleed/crop marks from the envelope.

Add/Improve more features of Liquid Layout
Liquid layout has been around for ages, but there are no new developments. It would be good if you could link two elements together. i.e. a text box with an image box so that as artworks grow or shrink, the relationship between the two elements work in conjunction with each other, I know Chilli have taken the liquid layout concept and enhanced it on their web2print platform.

Make layercompositions targetable with scripting
I want to change my applied alpha-mask (psd/tif).
What I have to do is browse to the image, reimport it (with import options true), just to select another alpha mask.
While scripting this, I found out, that the DOM is missing the layercomps. If a layercomp was set in InDesign away from default, re-importing a image by script will losse the selected layercomposition.

Threading Text
Add an option for threading text that once you've started the process you can just click ANYWHERE in the box to keep threading. It's very difficult to find that tiny red box in the corner when you want to thread 30+ boxes.

Prevent fonts from becoming bitmap when copied into InDesign or Illustrator
Why does a font in InDesign become bitmapped when copied into Illustrator; or the other way around - Illustrator into InDesign?
In Illustrator, why is there no keyboard command for FIND AND REPLACE as there are in other Adobe applications.

Change ID's file locating from absolute addresses to relative
When I change the name of my project folder, housing all of my ID and art/font folders, InDesign stops linking to the art folder. This is annoying. Is this happening because my art files are in a folder named something other than Links?

Have a 2 program package for CC
Right now Adobe has an option to have Lightroom and Photoshop in a special photo CC package for $10. How about making it where you can choose any two programs? I don't need those two but I would easily upgrade may aging CS6 Indesign for a package like that.
