Option to group and\or collapse pages
We should be able to group pages and collapse them, for a cleaner more organized flow.
My use case - I'm working on a book (not using the "create book" option since it's exteremly flawed) that has an intro of 50 pages.
I'm done designing those 50 pages, and now I want to "forget" about them and collapse them, so I can focus on other pages, and also get to them quicker without needing to scroll through all those pages.This could be done by grouping the intro and having the option to collapse it, or by adding the collapse…

Export Image Metadata and Keyword contents contained within any image when exported as a .PNG file
Export Image Metadata and Keyword contents contained within any image when exported as a .PNG file. Why should the metadata and keyword contents embedded in an image file be wiped when exported as a .PNG File>. AS the need for transparent PNG files needed for AR experiences becomes more critical for use in Aero and other AR environments, the metadata should travel with any export from INDD

Package convert images to specific format
For architects, urban designers, and artists, InDesign has become an essential tool. However, our needs differ from those of graphic designers, introducing unique challenges. We often maintain specific folder structures for original files, repurposing them for various mediums - be it print, websites, or emails. For instance, when delivering a poster, it's inefficient to include large PSD images in both the 'links' folder and another location. Notably, for academic submissions, recipients often don't require layered files; they need images suitable for websites, emails, etc. Considering that most competition or submission layouts remain static after submission, a "convert images to a…

It would be great if we can get control over layer visibility by page in addition to by document. Add a visibility-by-page icon next to the visibility-by-document icon that controls visibility by page.

Add OpenType attributes into Find/Change search criteria
InDesign lets users search for type attributes found in Paragraph and Character style criteria, but it does not let users search for applied OpenType attributes like fractionals, etc. in the Find/Change dialog box. It would be useful to find and fix issues when OpenType attributes don't perform as expected.
Since Adobe is making such a big push to abolish Type 1 fonts in its applications, I think that it would be a useful gesture to include OpenType attributes to its search criteria options through the Edit>Find/Change... menu command.

disable launch image
Disable Launch Image
I do not think the launch images in photoshop, indesign and illustrator are culturally sensitive. They should not include any people especially not raunchy females. They should be totally neutral - landscapes, nature, no people please!!13 votes -
Consider built-in compression of .indd files
Since .indd files could be compressed (e.g. zip) with saving between 50% to 70% of disc space: Please consider to implement a compression algorithm natively into InDesign.
Thanks

Overhaul Bullets and Numbering and add features to make it useful.
Right now the bullets and numbering features are so limited and feel like an afterthought. Here is what I need in order of importance:
The ability to format bullets/numbers so they ignore extra line spaces.
The ability to align the bullets to the center. When one bullet's verbiage is longer than one line of text the bullet stays on the first line, what I need is for the bullet to be centered with all of the lines of text in that bullet, so if you had a bullet that was three lines long, the bullet would be centered to the…

Share for review – the necessity of an output preview
For a long time in the printing industry, we did our copies to print with low-resolution PDFs that we send directly to our customers by e-mail. The advantage of this method is that for other participants in the graphic industry, we can show how the documents we received will be processed, thanks to the output preview.
Since most printers don't necessarily print complex layouts and we are concerned with ensuring the quality of the files we receive, I was a little disappointed to see that this aspect of print control was not available in the current version of "Share for…

Preserving Braking Precision: The Vitality of Brake Flush
[url=https://www.instantcarfix.com/services/brake-flush]Brakeflush[/url] , an often overlooked but essential automotive maintenance procedure, safeguards the precision of braking systems. As time passes, brake fluid absorbs moisture and contaminants, hindering brake performance. A brake flush entails purging the degraded fluid and replacing it with fresh, clean fluid, ensuring optimal brake function. By embracing regular brake flushes, vehicle owners can enhance safety on the road, prevent potential brake failures, and prolong the lifespan of critical braking components, ultimately fostering a smoother and more secure driving experience.

Track Changes and Show Track Changes switched on by default
Our users are very dependent on the Track Changes and Show Track Changes function within Adobe InCopy. Currently with the workflow we are using users are having to manually switch this on every time a new article/story is created.
Users would like to have both of these options switched on by default when InCopy loads so they do not have to manually enable these.
Please develop this feature so that end users do not have to manually enable these options each time a new story is created.

Allow Pages to be named and exported with names - like photoshop artboards
Where the pages are numbered in the pages panel, please could you allow them to be named and exported with those names - in the same way the Photoshop allows with artboards?
This would save so much time for working on projects that have 100s of pages that all need specific names. I would need this in InDesign as the ability to relink images is a super useful feature for my projects.
Thanks!

Integrate Object style into preflight
Preflight should be able to check if object styles
are not correct. That would make it easy for me
to check if objects are in the correct position
and nothing was accidentally moved.3 votes -
Change text & add button on message window when trying to close a file while background task is running
When you try to close a file while a background task is running you get a warning (Screenshot A). The word "cancel" appears there 4 times, so a fast reader would think clicking on "Cancel" will cancel something. But that's wrong. If you click on "Cancel", the window is closing. Nothing else.
So please change the button to "Close" (and in the German version to "Schließen" instead of "Abbrechen") to make clear nothing is cancelled.
In addition to that it would be nice to have a second button that helps the user to get directly to the background task panel.…

pdf imported remarks
At the moment its only possible to accept remarks/corrections one at a time. But often in a document, there are exactly the same corrections. For example: amsterdam becomes Amsterdam (Capital A). It would be great to accept all these similar corrections at once (or be offered to accept them one at a time throughout the document). And remarks like delete page number are not supported. (masterpage elements)
