Put the Overset text warning directly at the beginning of the export file process
When I want to export a PDF, InDesign kindly reminds me of overset text or missing links. However, I do not understand why this warning appears at the very end, after I have gone through the file location selection and PDF export settings. Obviously, I want to correct this error in 95% of cases. Instead, I have to cancel the export, then go through the entire process again. The file location, file name, and any PDF export settings I might have changed are lost, and I have to start all over again.

Request for Text Alignment Option for Interactive Forms Directly in InDesign
Dear Adobe InDesign Team,
I would like to request the addition of a feature that allows text alignment for interactive forms to be managed directly within InDesign, rather than having to perform this task in Adobe Acrobat.
Currently, our workflow involves creating datasheets with centered ordering codes, which are frequently updated. Each update requires redoing the text alignment in Acrobat, adding unnecessary steps to our process. This is both time-consuming and frustrating, especially for what should be a simple text alignment adjustment.
Having this feature integrated into InDesign would greatly improve efficiency and streamline the creation of interactive forms, saving…

Generative Layout Cleanup
One of the most onerous, time-consuming tasks I deal with as a production designer is fixing layouts from designers who don't understand paragraph styles and efficient layout (No shade! They have other things to focus on and hey… that's why my job exists!)
I would like an AI that can recognize multiple separate type objects on a page, combine them into single text boxes with paragraph styles that control spacing.
In the screenshots, you first see a typical "designer" layout (again, no shade) with ten separate objects with formatting for each applied on top of the default Basic Paragraph style.

Include a rollover reveal of the hyperlinks in place.
Checking hyperlinks (i.e. where a button takes you to another page in the document) is time consuming. A rollover reveal of where the hyperlink goes would save an enormous amount of time.
This could also be an Acrobat feature - i.e. once you have exported as an interactive PDF - you can rollover and check there.1 vote -

Support for "TDM", "PDF/UA" and "PLUS License Data Format" in XMP-Metadata
Missing support for "TDM", "PDF/UA" and "PLUS License Data Format" in XMP-Metadata in all Adobe apps.
There are not data fields for "TDM" (text-and-data-mining), PDF/UA (accessibility) and "PLUS License Data Format" in the UI of all Adobe apps.
This information can currently only be added manually by import of an XML-Snippet-File in the tab "raw-data".
Or with InDesign scripting and the library "lib:AdobeXMPScript".TDM:

Export Selected Objects to PDF.
Hello. I need to export selected objects to PDF in Indesign as we do for PNG. This is possible in Illustrator but not in Indesign. It would be good if it could work with object styles. Export all objects in a style to PDF one by one.
I am working for education technology. I am writing content in Indesign and after using this content to prepare different books. So I need to split each question or content.

Getting calendar events into a table
I cannot be the only person trying to do this, but have not seen a solution anywhere. I produce a monthly newsletter that has a calendar of events. I can export .ics files, make .csv files with the info formatted, but data merge doesn't seem to have a way to drop things into cells of a table.
Would love to find a script that let's me enter the URL of the public link to a Google calendar, prompt for a date range, grab data, then populate my lovely table.
My "manual solution" currently means using the clipboard for every event.1 vote -

make option to deactivate swatch sync when synchronizing paragraph/character styles
In InDesign 19.5.:
"Swatches synchronize when object, paragraph, or character styles are selected in the Synchronize Options dialog."However, working with a book document with different color shemes in each chapter, this is a huge inconvinience for me.
I want to be able to sync my settings without syncing the colors, as they are deliberatly different in each chapter.
This change would cause the need to make a character/paragraph/object style for each chapter, causing the number of styles to be hard to manage.
Otherwise, I would have to change the colors after every sync or won't be able to use…1 vote -
Rearrange Blank Document Presets in InDesign for Custom Order
I'd love to be able to rearrange blank document presets in InDesign.
The four options that show on the new document popup are presets that I'll never ever have to use (Letter, Legal, Tabloid, Letter-Half).
I'd much rather re-order the presets to show A3, A4, A5, A6 first etc.

Option to disable the drop shadow in artboard on screen mode "Normal" of the "View" menu
Please, enable an option to disable the drop shadow on the artboard in 'Normal' screen mode in the 'View' menu (on the right side and in the footer of the artboard/sheet). The shadow makes it very difficult to achieve accurate positioning and alignment of objects. I found several people on Google complaining about the same thing, and there is no solution! The "Preview", "Bleed" and "Spacer" options do not have the shadow, but they also do not display what is on the workspace outside of the artboard/sheet. The "Normal" screen mode has to look like the artboard/sheet in Illustrator. I'm…

Move page and articles between documents (accessibility)
If I design a page of my document seperately, I want to be able to move the severed page into my document, and also import the articles included in that document.
It should be optional, like the option to keep layers intact when copying objects between documents - maybe with a setting that allows me to say "copy articles" and a checkmark I can set.For expample:
Right now, if I design a complex starting page for a long document seperate from the rest of the document (for example if a colleague creates the document), I have to re-do the…1 vote
