Syncing Redlines from Adobe Asset Cloud to InDesign
Syncing Redlines from Adobe Asset Cloud to InDesign - Noticing that the asset cloud link has the ability to redline and comment, but the redlines do not come over on the InDesign side with the asset link as they do when you import Adobe comments/redlines. This feature would be hugeeee for our industry to have. Also, using the asset link feature live has crashed indesign a couple times.

Variables with long definitions to wrap to next line
Currently, variables do not break across lines. I have documents with tables and variables. If the variable has a long definition, I have to shrink the font to get the text to fit in the cell when it could easily wrap to the next line. FrameMaker's variables have this capability. InDesign should be able to do the same. PLEASE!

Extract the Pixel's or Edge's X & Y coordinates of the Shapes or lines used in Indesign pages to a Geometry XML file/CSV /Excel/Text file.
We are trying to figure out a method to extract the X & Y coordinates in a excel or CSV file or any kind of report file, from a given page partitioned with straight horizontal and vertical lines to forming square and rectangular blocks/shapes from it. Now, we want to extract the dimensions of the shapes (squares and rectangles). If there is any way we could extract the pixels (X & Y coordinates of the edges) shown in screenshot considering the edges of the page main boundary (line in pink) as well as inner blocks/boxes formed from the lines (blue…

Test internal page hyperlinks in presentation mode
I don't know if this can even be possible, but it would be great to be able to test internal page hyperlinks in presentation mode (command + W), so that I don't have to export the PDF every time to test, rectify and test again. It will be especially useful for interactive PDFs with 100+ pages.
Thank you!

Unified Windows 11 User Interface
I think it is of paramount importance that InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop should better integrate with Windows 11's Dark/Light mode. Why is still that the menus and menu options are still white even with the application set to the darkest mode? It is a horrible design inconsistency.

Add SEO Capabilities to Publish Online Documents.
Publish Online Documents need to have SEO Capabilities. The content within the document needs to be finable by Google or other internet search engines.
Our company loves the ease and control that the Publish Online Feature of INDD offers. But we will abandon this platform is it can be finable online. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!!

AI feature: create a layout from some example images
It would be great if InDesign could create multi-page layouts from a few example images. For example, you've already designed a page, and it would take that and use the pattern & style of it to make more pages and layout variants in the same style. Or you can upload a reference picture to do the same.

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…

measure and determine the height of a letter in millimeters or centimeters
Add a feature to InDesign that will allow you to measure and determine the height of a letter in millimeters or centimeters. I work in a studio that deals with environmental design and signage, and we constantly need to know the height of the characters in millimeters during work.
Today, the solution to the problem is to create a rectangle the same size as the size of the characters and see the size of the rectangle in millimeters, then adjust the size of the characters according to the rectangle, until it roughly fits. This is a really big problem and…4 votes -

Enable an index entry that's "Current Page" plus or minus "n" page.
I'm currently in a situation where I have multiple tables in a book, and each table bridges across its spread. The index entry I want to make is on the right-hand (recto) page but, because the upper-left corner of the text frame containing the table is on the preceding left-hand page, the index entry takes the number of that preceding page, not the correct right-hand page.
In practice, this means I have to go back and manually change the index entry page number to one page higher - for every single entry.
Implementing this would just require another option for…

Keep workspace window details expanded/open when switching to another program
When I open the details for a specific workspace window, and whilst doing this, I switch to any other program on my computer (specifically on another screen), that window closes until I toggle back into InDesign.
There are many times where I need to reference that information, whilst accessing another program, and this proves obstructive.
For example: I expand links window to see a link's path which, for one reason or another, I need to find manually on my computer... those details will immediately disappear when I switch to my finder to search my computer...

Make Libraries Panel Drag & Drop When Adding
Hi There,
I only use libraries for one client but am quickly discovering it's not that intuitive. It's great that libraries now isn't the default but when you need it, why can't you drag everything into it?
Obvious examples...
- You can't drag colours
- You can't drag text styles (paragraph or character)And regarding text, if you drag a text box, dragging it back should add the textbox with text etc. If you drag a text style onto an existing text box, it should only apply the style etc.
Just let us add anything to the library via drag…

Reverse Find/Change
It would be super helpful if one could search for something NOT matching the criteria.
For example searching languages in a long document is a chore manually.
"Show all text that is NOT in Finnish"

Only swatches used in object, paragraph, or character styles would be synchronized.
If I don't want to synchronize swatches and object styles, but just paragraph styles.
The problem is that when I synchronize paragraph styles, all swatches are synchronized, even colors that are only used in object styles, and unnecessary swatches are added even if I deselect the swatches and and object styles in the Synchronize Options dialog.Ideally, only swatches used in object, paragraph, or character styles would be synchronized when synchronizing any of those styles.
I would like to avoid adding unnecessary swatches to the document that are not related to synchronizing any of those styles.
Also, I would like…3 votes -
Paste items on multiple layers at once
It would really speed up my workflow if I had the option of selecting a number of layers and be able to ‘Past in place’ on all of them at the same time. I often have to change country ratings (esp. PEGI) on my projects and it would be great if I could select 7-8 layers at a time and switch them out together. Clients also require third-party logos and legal lines to be added and it would really speed up my routines.
