1. Update Hyperlinks after destination file rename

   Hi there and thanks for this wonderful tool!

   Usually I always find a way to do what I want thanks to ExtendScript which is just amazing.

   However in this case it seems that it's not possible (https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/target-the-source-hyperlink-destination-document-of-an-hyperlinks/m-p/11498930)

   I am now working on a very long document that we split in three .indd files and have dozens of hyperlinks in each file to jump from one file to another.

   Let's say they are called:

   P_EN_v1.0.indd
   Q_EN_v1.0.indd
   R_EN_v1.0.indd
   

   If we find things to update in those files then we would like to share new versions with attendants to our event as new set of files that are named differently from the previous ones. So we would call them for instance:

   P_EN_v2.0.indd
   Q_EN_v2.0.indd
   R_EN_v2.0.indd
   

   However, as soon as files are renamed, all the hyperlinks are broken and need to be redefined by hand one by one. The error shown after renaming is:

   Hyperlink destination document not found. Please verify the
   document's location in the Hyperlinks panel before choosing
   this hyperlink.
   

   Not only the destination file path is lost, but also the name of the "Hyperlink Destination", so one needs to be very careful to re-link every single Hyperlink to its proper destination, and given we have dozens and dozens this can be very error prone.

   It would be very useful if there was a way to say that file P_EN_v1.0.indd was renamed as P_EN_v2.0.indd, and therefore update all Hyperlinks that are pointing to v1.0 to point to v2.0 in a single operation.

   According to the forum discussion linked above it is not possible to achieve this through scripting, but only through exporting as IDML, doing a find&replace and exporting again as INDD.

   However it seems to me that this should be supported by InDesign itself, since renaming files should be a harmless enough thing to do. Otherwise as soon as I start linking I am actually deadlocking myself to forever use the file names as they are or have to relink everything.

   And in case of an event like us where every day we update the file and have a new set with v1.0, v1.1, v1.2, v2.0, and so on, and each file has dozens of links, that would be greatly appreciated.

   Thank you so much for reading this far,

   Have a great day!

2. Copy-Paste between Illustrator and InDesign

   Unfortunately, it is no longer possible since version 2024. Copy and paste vector files from Illustrator into InDesign as vector files and continue editing there. This is very bad for a smooth workflow. It would be good that in the future this would be possible again simply via copy and paste.

3. 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 articles after inserting the page into the other document.

4. Make it possible to (gradually) lock pages in the pages panel

   That is a nice way to disinguish pages that are finished and pages that need work. An, off course, to prevent pages from changing.

   I understand there are some challenges, like multipage stories and master items, but maybe the lock function should take that into account, a dialog that gives the user the choice: 'The pages you are going to lock contain parts of stories that are connected to unlocked pages. Do you want InDesign to split those stories? Or do you want a 'soft lock' that locks all positions, but allows text to reflow?'

   And then: a fully locked page will have a black padlock icon, and a smart / soft locked page may have a gray padlock. Or something.

   Searching for several failing image connection to get all connections actual is time consuming.

   By pointing to an entire volume - the herewith proposed idea of an "automatic image connection refresh" routine should be able to search an entire volume for "exact" hits - and refreshing them.

6. idml with preview pictures required

   I am not sure, couldn't find a solution - so i think its not possible yet.
   Please add function to embedd preview pictures to the idml-file.

   Our need: For distribution to an translation office, we send the idml-file PLUS an PDF to show what the the idml is showing.
   I know - with every more picture info the size is increasing, but with an option to choose "show preview picture in idml" it would be phenomenal.
   All info text+pic in one file would help the recipient to the see the same as you.

   Pictures are mandatory for translation office, as they need to see what you are describing.

8. Gutter control on spreads for facing-pages layout that require bleed on the inside edges

   There are several requests for this that don't use correct terminology, so I'm going to add this one to hopefully consolidate votes on this long overdue feature. When working on facing-page projects that are not bound with glue, it is imperative that graphics and color that goes to the inside edge have bleed into the gutter. There is no gutter bleed support for parent pages in InDesign, requiring us to create two spreads with bleed across the gutter from either side to support pages that need that gutter bleed on export. Then we have to separate the pages in the layout so that the gutter is accessible on every page that has graphics or color to the inside edge. This is a massive amount of work for something that should be build into the spreads. We should be able to create facing page spreads with a gutter that we can then bleed our design into. Please, please, please add this! I'm so tired of the workarounds, which require twice as many parent spreads and the constant shuffling of pages to keep track of necessary gutter bleed. I've been using ID since version 1.

9. Paste where you click

   When you copy an element and paste it with the shortcut Cmd+V, the paste is randomized.
   Would it be possible for this Cmd+V function to take into account the location of the last click on the work plan with the selection tool?
   For example, I want to place an existing circle that I want to copy to several locations. I could click exactly where I want to place it, do a Cmd+V, and it would be placed exactly where I clicked.
   This saves having to place it every time, especially if I have 20, 30 or even more circles to place on a page.

10. Add additional alternate layouts to document

    The idea would require InDesign treats alternate layouts like normal Pages in a document so when I duplicate the page it creates all the additional alternate layouts for the new page.

    The links for the new Alternate pages would not link to the original page it was copied from, but the links across the new alternate page will still be linked.

    It would also allow you to move the pages up and down the document and keep all the alternate layouts together.

    This would make alternate layouts much more usable.

    I currently have a template setup with a range of alternate layouts for different social media platforms, however I can't duplicate the pages with alternate layouts already setup, I either have to start from scratch each alternate layout, Create a document with excess pages linked to alternate layout that I can be deleted if not required, or have multiple individual documents for one project for different mock-ups

13. Overall project file contains different documents

    It would be good to have the ability to combine several individual InDesign docs into one project file. So when the project is opened all docs are shown as separate tabs. Quark Express did this with 'Jackets' or something like that. This would tidy up job folders and maybe speed up the 'collect for output' stage if InDesign did them all at once rather than have to do individually with several fonts and images folders

14. Different layers for each page in a document

    Each page in a document can have different layers. When producing artwork for personalised print items (like mailers) it would be good for each version (page) to have it's own variable layers to avoid having lots of layers that could lead to data being omitted if layer turned off

15. Improve Conversion of Adobe Illustrator Documents Into InDesign Documents

    It is a sad, sad day when you realize you built an entire library of corporate charts in the wrong Adobe app. And an even sadder day when you realize that converting Adobe Illustrator files into Adobe InDesign files is not straightforward. You will now spend hours creating text boxes, with copy-pasta-weary fingers... If only converting illustrator text to indesign text were easier... Alas, my fate is bound. Woe is me. I shall make a weak cry out for help to Adobe developers before I continue my trudging along in my pitiful sorrow.

    Description:
    I am trying to convert Illustrator files that are 1-2 US Letter 8.5x11" pages with Text and .svg graphics into Indesign. When I paste the content in, I get an error that says the data will be placed as EPS in order to avoid degraded performance. But I need the text to be editable because our translation service will only provide translations for indesign documents. I end up building it from scratch.

    Why its valuable:
    A way to assign incoming text boxes, lines, shapes, from Illustrator when pasted into InDesign would save me a lot of time. I need to do this for 48 documents.

18. Flatplan for magazines

    Adobe does not currently offer a tool for page imposition when creating a magazine.

    A magazine is produced from many documents, which are then compiled into a complete issue along with advertisements in PDF format.

    We urgently need a tool that allows us to view the entire magazine as a whole.

    Bridge could serve this purpose if it were able to display all pages from InDesign files and allow us to manipulate and move them as needed across the entire magazine.

    Adobe Bridge could then be able to send this magazine structure for export and instruct InDesign on the position of each page, so that it can adjust the page numbers accordingly.

20. Grid view when zoomed out

    Please allow pages to move into a grid view when zooming out. This would allow for page layout artists to look at the "big picture" view all at once without the endless scrolling. Attaching two pictures, one is what indesign looks like now, the second is what it looks like in Microsoft Word which is a MUCH more helpful view. If this is already available, please let me know, I'd love to use this feature!
