  1. Flipped Images in Pre-Flight

    I'd like to add "flipped image" to the pre-flight process.

    I've recently had to scour a product catalog for flipped images because a junior designer didn't realize that flipping images mis-represented the non-symmetrical producs. It should be something that pre-flight draws attention to as a potential error, similar to non-proportional scaling.
    I was able to install an obscure script that looked for both flipped frames and flipped image content and made a list for you - it was a lifesaver!

  2. do not overwrite Object Styles when making a group to make it accessible

    When applying different object styles to elements in InDesign, they are "deleted" when I make a group and giving the "group" another object-style (for example: a picture and a text, both have separate object styles - i group them, and then want to give the group an object style that puts it in the right position on my page)
    As soon as I apply the Object style, to the group, the individual object styles are "overwritten". I can manually reapply them in the group, but thats not efficient.
    Especialle to make an accessible PDF, the feature of different Object styles…

  3. Paragraph styles frustrations

    When creating a paragraph style from an existing one, please let InDesign automatically select the new one to edit, or at least let it retain the adjustments we made to the existing one. Because many times I edit the styling of text, then make a new paragraph style, only to find out I was still styling on the previous style, and not "New Paragraph 1."

    OR

    Let us be able to highlight the paragraph style we want to redefine, without applying the style to the text.

    Sometimes all we want is to highlight copy in the document, and right-click on…

  4. Publishonline Ideas votes must be separated from Indesign ideas.

    Indesign users and issues are far away more than publishonline. I think it's fair to separate them so publishonline users have more efficiency. Publishonline will have a great future if we could invest on it. Although it is improoving very slow. Lets speedit up.

  5. Spread numbering confuses clients

    When publishing spreads, numbering is for spreads spread 1, 2 ,3 etc but paging in document is different. This confuses clients and spreads should be numbered as pages page 1, page 2-3, page 4-5 etc.

  10. Include Paragraph Styles in Table Styles

    There needs to be a way of assigning paragraph styles to header rows and individual columns, not just cell styles/table styles. For example, I have a paragraph style for each of three columns in the table's header row, One for the Item Category, Regular Price heading, and Effective (sale) Price Heading. Then I have four paragraph styles for the rest of the table based on the column, one for item number, one for item description, then of course the style for regular price adn effective (sale) price. I should be able to include these paragraph styles in the table style,…

  11. InDesign App for Ipad

    We want an app version of InDesign for the iPad. It’s time.
    Now that Ipad has the same M processor as computers and more and more people/colleagues who work on the move are choosing the Ipad solution. Possibly with the ability to access files directly from an external drive (usb-c is now standard on Ipad too) and not just through the cloud.
    When we travel there is not always the possibility of having access to an internet network. Adobe competitors are giving alternative solutions to InDesign for Ipad. With what we pay for the subscription, I believe you have to…

  12. Leave links in the CC library when packaging a document.

    Many of my links in my InDesign documents point to a shared CC library. So that I don't have to resend all the data when I package the document, it would be good to have a function that leaves the links of the document in the CC library and only collects the images that are not in the CC library.

  13. If Adobe could do a spreadsheet application

    This is not a specific feature request, but more a general idea about Adobe doing a spreadsheet application.
    Think about using functionality in Illustrator and InDesignTo be able to draw new sheets in threaded “Spreadsheet boxes” and “Cell boxes”, using layers for calculations/functions/data as well as text/graphic assets, writing functions and formulas in native language, using any graphics assets for conditional formatting and diagrams, place files in InDesign with full compatibility, advanced text formatting in Text Boxes nested with “Spreadsheet boxes”, tear-away panels.
    Just some initial thoughts....

  14. PublishOnline dashboard folders

    About time the dashboard provided a better file directory to allow users to organise their files better.

    When you have multiple clients with over a hundred live publications it can get messy!

    A simple even only single level file/folders option would be great so I can move all clients publications into their own folder.

    A thousand agencies around the world would greatly welcome this I promise you!

  15. Option to turn hard coded navigation arrows on and off

    I would love to be able to turn the prev next arrows off when not required. They can interfere with the design appearance of a publication.
    It made it worse when Adobe made the arrows even thicker!
    It should be easy to do for Adobe. Again Ajar In5 can do this. Indesign should be able to do it natively

  18. Make All Styles Explicit and Accessible

    Currently we can open a pallet for Object Styles, Paragraph Styles, Character Styles, Table Styles, Cell Styles, and of course Style Packs.

    We need to be able to access TOC styles, Caption Styles, Image Styles, Effect Styles, Animation Styles, Group Styles, Text Frame Styles, Image Frame Styles, Fill Styles (swatches), Stroke Styles, .Basically, anything that contains a defined set of characteristics that can be interchangeably applied to various objects..

    That is to say that styles must be interchangeable with other like styles. For example, you can apply any paragraph style to any paragraph. Every paragraph style will work on every…

  19. Remember last selected section in Preferences

    Remember the last selected section in the Preferences window.

    For example, if I selected File Handling then clicked OK in the Preferences window, File Handling should be selected the next time I open Preferences.

    Right now it always defaults to General. While in many cases I want to use the last preferences section I used before when I open the Preferences window.

  20. Merge Across

    In Excell, you can highlight several columns and there is an option to "Merge Across" where it will merge each row individually for the entire column. I'm working with a list of items that includes some html tags that InDesign treated as tabs, so it turned them into extra columns. In order to get them back to what they should be, I'm forced to merge each row individually, whereas this feature would allow me to highlight the original and extra columns and merge them all at once, keeping them in each of their rows.
