Mywifiext
MyWifiext is an official online address for setting up and configuring a Netgear Wi-Fi range extender. Also, it is one of the easiest and simplest ways to setup the range extender. Furthermore, Mywifiext allows the user to update the extender’s settings, configure, and install the range extender, among other things. Therefore, the users looking for ways to accomplish the Netgear Extender setup procedure should visit the official website, i.e., “Mywifiext.”

Allow upload of alternative PDF for download
An essential option really, to allow a flat non-animated version of the online publication that's being viewed.
As we all know any level of animation or pop-ups elements will end up on the downloadable PDF version making it almost useless.
Unless anyone knows a workaround?

Copy CMYK, RGB values in Color Picker as text
I would like to be able to copy RGB or CMYK values as text so I can paste them elsewhere. This would be helpful in my daily work where I make color palettes and then describe them with text in a brand guide.

Larger preview window on Place image dialog box
When picking images in a multi-page document from a PDF or Adobe Illustrator files, it would be nice to see a preview size bigger than the 125x125-ish window that is used in the dialog box. Thanks!

Repackage
If you edit a file in a package with external links, a REPACKAGE option should put all links that are not in the LINKS folder there.
extra; CLEAN PACKAGE should remove all files that are not used in the package.
This would avoid having to make a fresh package after every edit

Start supporting "Working off Network Drives/shares"
Users are expected to download files to their local HDD and then work the project locally before committing it to a server/file share. this is ridiculous to ask. some of these files are huge and would consume the HDD space on the MAC/PC, let alone the network traffic and congestion they would create saving back and forth. Adobe needs to fix this issue so that users can work on a file and save to network share for other designers to work. InDesign and all products from adobe have this behavior. locking for sometimes days before someone is able to open…

Ability to apply color to some or all of the individual style names in paragraph/character style palettes.
It would be so great to be able to apply color to some or all of the individual style names in paragraph/character style palettes, the way we can in the drop-down tool palettes.
The InDesign interface is terribly small (compared to Illustrator or Photoshop) and even my special computer glasses -- in conjunction with a 43-inch monitor -- are unable to compensate. There are times when I have 30-50 styles for large projects but use particular ones consistently over the others. I have a very hard time picking these out without stopping to stare, get close, examine the palette --…

Ability to copy link name only from links panel, as additional option to 'copy platform style path' 'full user path' etc.
I often copy links from one spread to another document and then need to search for the link on a a media archive for a client. It would be really helpful to be able to just copy the link name alone, through right clicking the link in the links panel (even better, without extension!) for searching purposes. This would also be helpful when searching your machine or a server for a missing link.
The only time I use this function is when searching elsewhere for an image / link, and therefore need to use one of the existing options, and…

Put back scroll arrows on the scrollbars in InDesign
With the update from InDesign 2020 to InDesign 2021 I noticed that the scroll arrows at the end of the right and bottom scroll bars have disappeared (see Image 1 (ID). In Illustrator 2021 however they are still present (see Image 2 (Ill).
I can't find any setting in the preferences to toggle them on or off.
I use these arrows frequently and the omission of these arrows in the new InDesign are very annoying to me.
Hope to hear from you soon.7 votes -
Tagging/Notifications for Guests
I use the Share for Review feature mostly with users who do not have or need Adobe licenses - and for security all documents have to be password protected. Therefore, most of my reviewers are 'guests' and only receive notifications if I reply to something they said. If I add a new comment on my own, or revise text or try to direct their attention to a new Pin, they do not receive any kind of notification. It would be useful if I could tag guest users via their email address and they could get an email. If this is…

Rethinking pages with an infinite pasteboard and multi-user collaboration
Let us bring InDesign into an open and more collaborative world.
The individual pasteboard and contained page structure of InDesign are very constraining. It is time for a different approach to how we do page layout.
Let us move to an infinite style pasteboard canvas (a la Illustrator, or Adobe XD, Figma) where your imagination can run wild! Think of it as a blown-up version of the Pages Panel with the same click-to, snap-to rearrange functionality, but without the extra layer of InDesign UI baggage.
- Pages would function the same way with a left-to-right, top-to-bottom order, snapping layouts into the…

InDesign: convert text to outlines when exporting to PDF
When exporting a file from Indesign instead of using the Transparency Flattner Presets and then start changing things on the PDF export popup, I suggest to add a checkmark on the PDF export popup - Convert all texts to outlines.
Itll make it more easy to all of the users, Iam working with Indesign for more than 10 years, each time I installed anew version of Indesign i needed to configure it again and each time I didn't understand why didn't you add this option.
Thanks,
