  3. Set Grid in double page documents new for every page

    In double page documents, the grid overlaps the gutter, which sometimes makes it hard to use the grid on the right side, when the right side starts with half a grid box or 3/4 or whatever.

    IT would be nice if you could choose between overlapping and starting the grid from zero at the page on the right side.
    It would also be VERY helpful if you could turn the visibility of the grid off outside of the pages because all the lines make the view so "noisy".
    AND it would be helpfull to be able to adjust the transparency…

  4. generar planillo desde la ventana páginas

    Sería interesante para el ámbito editorial poder imprimir un planillo a partir del diseño que tenemos en nuestra ventana de páginas, o generar uno interactivo como lo que ha diseñado René Andritsch:

  5. epub

    For the love of god, please improve EPUB export to ensure that the exported file actually lives up to market standards and can validate EpubCheck and ACE without problems or extra reworking. As is, the current exported EPUB files risk failing checks before distribution and, as a result, cannot be sold on the European market after the accessibility directive takes effect. This will be a huge problem for many graphic designers who cater to this market.

  6. Dictionaries and Japanese, Chinese, Cyrillic scripts Hide

    I would welcome the ability to hide all unused dictionaries in Indesign. Also, it would be nice to be able to hide Japanese, Chinese and Cyrillic in the font menu. It's just insane scrolling sometimes and not UX like at all.

  7. Set the baseline of the first line of an object to the actual height of the first line of text

    There is no standard in fonts what to use for the value of ascend. Some use the height of, say, the 'k' character. Others enter the highest glyph (including those with diacritics). Basically, that means that using ascend for the first baseline is unreliable if fonts change. The best solution would be to calculate the actual 'max glyph height' of what is actually on the first line so that the text fits exactly to the top of the frame. Using 'cap height' is not a prefect solution too as some fonts have a cap height that is smaller than e.g.…

  8. Warn before converting document

    When opening an indesign document created in older version, on a newer indesign version, the newer version MUST post a warning dialogue box before converting the document.

    BECAUSE if a designer works for two different client, where a client wants indesign version X, why the other client wants indesign version Y, then the designser should not by mistake convert the older version into a newer version, and not discovering this mistake only after its too late.

  9. An option to rotate multiple items around their individual centers

    I'd love to be able to use a modifier with the Rotate Tool and rotate multiple selected items around their individual anchor points.

  10. Scale stroke proportionaly in object-based rule il liquid layout

    The stroke doesn't scale when changing page size either manually or with the page tool in object-based rule in the liquid layout. It does work in scale rule. It would be great if there was an option to choose between scaling the stroke or not.

  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. Add extra options to the "Add Bullets" panel, like search, resize, favourite, etc.

    The "Add Bullets" panel is tiny and super limited. It should be possible to resize, search and even favourite your preferred glyphs to make the process much more efficient.

  14. Toggle off onscreen visibility of Endnotes markers

    Endnotes imported from Word are marked in InDesign by blue L-shaped brackets at the beginning and end of each note. Why can't the onscreen visibility of these characters be toggled off with Type > Hide Hidden Characters.
    The blue brackets are enormously annoying when making onscreen assessments of full-page typography issues.
    (Yes, I realize that the brackets cannot be removed and do not print, but I would like to have option of making them invisible onscreen.)

  16. Path to images in linked InDesign documents not adjusted when packaged

    I have packaged an InDesign document with linked InDesign documents for the printer. The images inside the packaged InDesign files have the wrong path, it has not been adjusted to the packaged images.

    Our printer has printed the product therefor without the linked images which is a desaster. Please fix linked image paths within linked InDesign documents.

  17. Enlarge maximum image export sizes

    I work for a company which uses InDesign for webtoon-style comic content. These are often extremely long vertical images (10000-20000px is common). When attempting to export to JPG/PNG for processing, InDesign will not process the larger files, claiming that they exceed the maximum size, even at resolutions as low as 200dpi (webtoons typically go online at 350dpi so these images need to be upscaled).

    Exporting to PDF and re-exporting to the relevant image format allows the images to export at size, but often with additional scaling and does not 1:1 match the original pixel size.

    This clearly isn't a limit…

  18. Add Speech bubbles for comics

    I am using object styles to make great narration boxes and keeping the style and size in sync throughout my comics, but I can't find a way to make a shape that I can control to make the speech bubbles, and connect shapes between them.

  19. Object Styles Positioning from inner margin (spine)

    For the last few years or from as long as I can remember, I am having to have two styles for each action. So the most simple action I do is a Full Page bleed image box. On the outer margin it has an additional 3mm. This is set from the inner margin out. However I have to always create to styles, one for the left and page and one for the right. It would be so useful to have 'from Spine' as an option as a reference point.

  20. Duplicate Spread n times

    In some occasions, I use InDesign to collect Photoshop or Illustrator artwork.
    In that case, I create a page with a Rectangle Frame, Auto-Fit checked.
    When I need e.g. 20 of these, I have to duplicate many times 1-2-4-8-16 etc.
    Why not add a number to the duplicate function?
