aic
Please Make it possible for InDesign to read aic-files, since it is a huge part of working with InDesign to Place ai-files
.
There can be a lot of ways to do that.
The easiest way is just to allow InDesign to open the "gate" to the "cloud-folder" and read it from there, since it is already done from Illustrator and Photoshop.
another way could be th make a "ghost-file" in the local CC-folder that shows a mirror or links to the file from there.And there is possibly a lot of other opportunities aswell.
I just don't understand that…

Please change the cursor back to the black default when the world made sense for design pros.
Please revert back to the action of the toolbar where "V" or the select black cursor is the default. It makes zero sense for the "A" direct select cursor to be the default.

Rework Paragraph menu
Make it more logical:
Indents & Tabs
Alignment & SpacingIndents & Tabs belong together.
Alignment & Spacing are both regarding vertical position.
Also this will make Align to Grid better findable - it's in an unlogical tab now ('Indents and Spacing')1 vote -
Rearranging Pages
It would be helpful to have a way to view multiple spreads at the same time, like a better "click to split the layout view". First off it would save me a lot of scrolling back and forth trying to see other spreads. This could also be a way to make organizing the pages easier. It's hard to rearrange pages of texts from small thumbnail images in a larger document. If this could incorporate an easier workflow for organizing and numbering pages that would be great, to be able to hide a section of pages. I do use multiple documents…

cc libraries window head takes up too much space
There's visually 1.25 inches of functions before the window displays my library items. Can't some of this be combined so I can see more of my library in my precious desktop real estate?
row 1 - breadcrumb nav, invite to library
row 2 - search current library
row 3 - filter, sort options, list/grid view
I'd upload a screen cap, but upload files won't accept png, jpg, or gif...2 votes -
data merge for interactive elements
Data merge in Indesign works great, but only with text and images. Is it possible to make data merge possible for documents with interactive elements with buttons or hyperlinks for example?

Allow the use of World-Ready composers and Japanese composers in the same document.
Allow the use of World-Ready composers and Japanese composers in the same document so that someone can typeset in every language in the same file. At the moment you have to choose between ME/NA or CJK versions of InDesign.

Support ID Books!
As a freelancer corralling multiple ID files, many which share Styles, Parent Pages and other elements, or need to output in a certain order as a combined PDF, I have long used the Book function in ID and MANY OF MY CLIENTS DO AS WELL. This feature of InDesign is still bare bones, undeveloped and buggy. It needs attention from developers! Here are my wishes for Adobe InDesign Books:
1) The Book Panel is still bare bones. Simply give it your attention.
2) I want all the fly-out menu options for a book to be available with a secondary click/contextual…

Create New Layer more specific
A new layer is currently always created at the top, which most of the time requires dragging the layer to ********* the right level.
Why not make the function more sophisticated, and let the user choose for:
-On Top
-At Bottom
-Above Selected
-Below Selected1 vote -
Add Layer Above / Beneath
I find myself dragging newly created Layers all the time. New Layers are always created on top. Why not make a more sophisticated interface that allows a New Layer to be created:
-On top
-On bottom
-Above Selected
-Beneath Selected1 vote -

I would like to know if Adobe thinks of optimizing the management of tables in InDesign for the accessibility of PDF files
When will the automatic markup of tables (gender in table styles) like we do for paragraph styles (H1, H2, H3, BlockQuotes, List)?
<TR> row
<TH> header
<TD> data
Example when you end up with one or more vertical TH "headers" so you don't have to manage that in the PDF2 votes -

Provide the same functionality as in Adobe DC Pro to add a SharePoint Site to InDesign open and edit documents directly online without having to download and not to use OneDrive.

RTL in all versions of InDesign, not just the Middle Eastern version.
It is ridiculous that I have to install a completely different regional version of InDesign to get access to RTL. Apart from the addition of an RTL/LTR button and a drop down specially from Arabic, what is the difference other than the default language?

Grid guide for graphic frames
In much the same way that the crop tool in Photoshop has optional grid overlays (rule of thirds, golden spiral etc), Indesign could have the option to toggle these on/off for graphic frames.
This would be immensely useful for positioning images in graphic frames – for example when placing a headshot and wanting to align the subjects eye using the rule of thirds or golden ratio.
This would be far better than having to crop/resize images in Photoshop in advance, particularly because you can then adjust the size of the graphic frame in Indesign without having to redo your crop…

We need a way to convert PagerMaker files to ID files
I know that I am not the only person, that there are many of us, who were loyal Pagemaker users for many years and now have a big archive of PM files. Adobe pages says that they can be opened with ID CS6, but that doesn't work for me, my CS6 gives me a message that I need a plug-in, but that plug-in isn't available anywhere. I know I'm not the only person who has asked for a plug-in to convert PM files. Please do something about this. Adobe is really failing us.
