1. Adobe could help improve the remote production work flow for small publishing operations

   Greetings.

   I LOVE the Adobe Cloud suite. The only thing that's missing from the apps, which surprises me, is some sort of collaborative, drag-and-drop flatplanner capability, to tie in ads with magazine/publication production. I know subscription platforms exist, the likes of AdSalesGenius, but such a platform is way beyond our budget. We are a small-time operation with a small team.

   Can't you develop an app or script that enables us to easily view the pages of our publications that are in production so we can see the updated content? Seems to me that would be an easy and natural integration for Adobe. I know many, many small time publishers that use your cloud creative suite would jump on something like this. It's desperately needed.

   Thanks for paying attention.

2. A new Switch tool

   Instead of ctrl+c, and ctrl+v, it could be invented a new function that switches existing text from a sentence to another. I would find it particularly useful in tables.
   Ex:
   I would like green apples
   I would like yellow lemons

   Select green, ctrl+whatever, select yellow

   Now I have

   I would like yellow apples
   I would like green lemons

3. Fixed Spaces Automatically set as Nonbreaking

   It would be helpful if fixed spaces were not automatically treated as non-breaking. I often use fixed spaces to finesse typographic issues—like a lowercase "f" crashing into an uppercase letter that follows it (e.g., "if I"), which seems to happen a lot, even in reputable fonts. I don't however, necessarily want InDesign to prevent a line break after the fixed space.

   Ideally, we would be able to have breaking and nonbreaking versions of all of the fixed spaces, but perhaps it wouldn't be very useful for hair or thin spaces. Ems, ens, thirds, fourths, and sixths, however....

   Thanks for considering this.

4. Fixing what was not broken?

   Swatches Window:
   There is space at the bottom of the swatches menu to have buttons for the swatch types rather than grouping them into drop down menu. It takes more clicks and mousing around than it did in CS versions...

   Same goes for Rotating spreads. I need to do this often - It used to be in the root of the pages menu, now it's nested under page attributes. Less efficient...
   A drop menu at the bottom of the pages window might make sense for this feature?

   New CC Libraries menu... it looks nicer I guess but now I have to click back and then click the Library when before I simply clicked a drop down... less efficient!

5. Allow horizontal cursor position value to be copied

   The Paragraph Formatting Controls show the Horizontal Cursor Position. It contains a numerical value, but it cannot be selected for copying.

   I frequently use an "Indent to Here" character after an open quotation mark. But if I need to break a quotation into multiple paragraphs and quickly align the paragraphs to the position of the "Indent to Here" character, I need to manually enter the horizontal cursor position value into the Left Indent value.

   It would be helpful to be able to copy the value of the horizontal cursor position, so I could paste it into the Left Indent value.

   Thanks.

6. Add Pasteboard Options to Document Setup

   It would be handy if Pasteboard Options could be set in the New Document/Document Setup window - OR - Pasteboard default size options could be set as a percentage of document size (so it will scale relative to doc size).

   My default paste board size is fine for most jobs I do (which are generally brochures / flyers etc); but it is too small for working on large banners etc. I find I am changing the preferences all the time.

8. Automated Language detection

   Please consider a automatic intelligence, which could automatically detect the languages used in a document.

   In nearly all texts I’m typesetting for journals and specialized books, there are parts of foreign languages inside the text (quotes, citations, ...). It would be genious, if InDesign could automatically search, find, and mark those bits of foreign languages, and change the language mode for those bits, so that the correct hyphenation will be applied.

   In combination with the ability to unlimit the number of character styles, that can be applied to character or text, that would be a very powerful feature.

   Teach Adobe Sensei to find languages!

9. [Japanese]圏点の字数制限を外せないでしょうか。

   現状では同時に文字の両側にルビをふることができませんが、右側にルビ、左側に圏点、同時に付けることはできます。しかし「圏点」はその性質上「一文字」しか許容されていません。考えられる対処は３つあります。①圏点の字数制限を外す。②圏点の機能をルビの機能に置き換える。③圏点の機能を「圏点＋ルビ（スーパーセット）」にする。もちろん③が望ましいですが、ニーズは極めて限定的と思われますので、①が妥当ではないかと考えます。UIもそのままで、複数文字を入れるとそのまま本文のセンター合わせで表示する。バグのようにも見え仕様のようにも見える、昔良く使った「裏技」を可能にするということです。ご検討ください。

10. Center applied style in style panels

    When I click on a paragraph or character with the text tool, InDesign’s style panel automatically jumps to and highlights the paragraph or character style, which is applied to the paragraph or character.
    (From now on please read the word »style« as »paragraph or character style«.)

    But sadly the applied style is always shown as the very last item or the very first in the visible list of style panel. There are styles above and styles below this style in the whole list. (See »Standard-behaviour.png«.)

    It’s easy to access the items above (respectively below): I simply can click on them.
    But actually most of the time I need to change the style to a style, which directly lies outside the visible area below or above the applied style. So I always have to scroll first before I can select the style I need.

    This is annoying! So my wish (feature request):
    Please show the applied style centered in the style panel (see »My-wish.png«)!

11. Show Cross-References

    Under Type menu, have option to show cross-references, or have a way to show that something is a cross reference when showing "hidden" characters.

    Currently after creating a cross-reference, it is very easy to lose it by typing over the text because nothing differentiates the cross-referenced text from regular text in paragraph.

    Would also be cool if there were some sort of control feature as in "indexing" so that you could see all the cross-references that have been created. Very helpful in long documents.

    Thank you!

12. Out of gamut warning/highlighting

    It would be nice if, like other Adobe software, InDesign offered an out-of-gamut warning/highlighting option on screen when viewing documents with Proof Colors. It could even be an option in the proof colors setup dialog.

    In practice, corrections to out-of-gamut colors of placed (typically RGB) images does not take place in InDesign. I realize that. But since InDesign may be the point of conversion to CMYK for print-ready PDFs, it could be useful to have a sense of where there might be problem areas in placed images, graphics, etc.

    In some sense, InDesign is last line of defense, and offering us an out-of-gamut view would help anticipate, and perhaps prevent, surprises downstream. And as a designer, anything I can do to avoid this kind of surprise would be beneficial.

13. Two requests

    I need my drop shadows to stay in place as intended when I rotate my images. I have to keep adjusting the position of shadows every time. Also, underlines are deleted when converting text to outlines. This is a major issue. I've had many jobs having to add jobs manually when converting to outlines.

15. Toggle to turn off cursor frames and highlighted text when testing colors/fonts/strokes

    Note: I'm still on Indesign 2019, so I don't know if this feature has already been added. If not, then:

    Whenever I want to test different stroke colors on a picture with a border, I have to select it, which shows as cursor frame on top of the stroke (even in preview mode). Problem with this is that if the stroke is 1 or 2 points, it's hard to see the colors you're choosing because the cursor covers the stroke. So I would have to select the frame, change the color, de-select the frame to see how the stroke looks, then select it again to test another color, etc.

    Same with text, if you want to change the color /font of a word or paragraph you've already written, you have to highlight the text to be able to make changes to it. Unfortunately, when highlighted, it's impossible to see the real colors you are choosing.

    For that reason, I'm requesting a toggle to be able to turn off the cursor frame and highlighting for when someone wants to test different colors.

    I know I could use the text editor to circumvent the highlighter part, but that's not a user-friendly option for something that could easily be a toggle.

    Thanks!

16. Properties Panel Appearance Section

    In the classic "swatches panel" with the "direct selection tool" selected, you can quickly select a text box and change the color of the text within without needing to switch to the text tool. You just select the box and click the "T" within the swatches panel.

    You can not do this with the properties panel. You have to do the extra steps of switching tools to the text and manually selecting the text. Why can't this feature be available as a part of the "appearance" section of the "properties panel" under the "fill" options.

17. Scroll bar visibility

    The scroll bar, especially at the bottom of the screen, is very hard to distinguish from the black frame. If the scroll bar color could be customized or at least offer some control of its contrast, it would be so much easier to use. I do use the zoom and hand tool, but sometimes just need a quick scroll up/down or left/right.

19. Have the ability to format text boxes with date, time, currency, etc. Also ability to format buttons (save)

    Because I use a template to make multiple copies of a personalized document/form. I constantly have to go into the PDF after each export to format fillable text boxes with the date format, currency format, etc. The same goes for the buttons. I have multiple save buttons as well as send form buttons that I have to "reprogram" each time I change the source InDesign file. It seems to be something that should be handled in the InDesign file. If you can choose Print why not Save?

20. Ligatures - a completely stupid *OPTION* Adobe shoves down our throats

    So, ligatures is rearing it's ugly head again.

    I simply cannot fathom why Adobe feels the need to shove this option down our throats.

    I am working with documents I have used in the past 2-3 months and now, I would guess a recent update to InDesign, the ligatures option is on by default and is now reformatting my documents for me.

    Great. Thanks Adobe. Thought you were a professional software development company, clearly not.

    Can you not understand the MASSIVE IMPACT this has on my workflow, now having to check all pages of all documents I am sending out to print? Can you imagine if one of your ligature-laced piece of **** hits my client's desk after they print 20,000 copies of it?

    Abobe - what gives you the idea that we all WANT LIGATURES? Ligatures are nice for fancy type formatting, but I have absolutely NO CLIENTS who want to see this AT ALL. EVER.

    Please stop pretending you know what's best for us. InDesign, Illustrator, and PhotoShop have gone through probably the worst year of **** since they were first developed. I could post a list 20 miles long on here detailing the bugs, omissions, failures of all of these apps.

    Ligatures? What a completely kludge.

    So, for anyone encountering this BUG. And it IS a BUG to have this turned on all by itself... when you launch InDesign, with no docs open, Character palette -> Option pop-out, uncheck ligatures.

    Turn this OFF for ALL DOCUMENTS. And only turn it on if you absolutely need it.

    Because with it ON - you will end up with some of the worst, stupid ligatures for characters you never thought could possibly be ligatured. Yeah, I said ligatured.

    As in Adobe is freaking ligatured.

    So, ligatures is rearing it's ugly head again.

    I simply cannot fathom why Adobe feels the need to shove this option down our throats.
