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…

Why can't the "cell style" control the height of the line in the table?
Why can't the "cell style" control the height of the line in the table?
If the "cell style" can control the height of the line, it will definitely save a lot of unnecessary operations. I wonder why it should be set manually?0 votes -
Add option to "Find this style" just like "Find this colour"!
I would be great to have the ability to find a style (Paragraph, Character or Object) straight form the panels (Ctrl + click on a style) to quickly find obscure and unused styles without having to open the Find/Change panel.
This option is already available to find a colour in a document and it is very useful, so it would only be logical to do the same for styles, no?
It would be especially appreciated when one takes over a project that’s already been started... with styles galore!

Why do you have the Dictionary type in this location:
We refer to the Dictionary type, once in a blue moon, if ever. It doesn't need to be so easily accessible.
One thing that would be useful to occupy this space: the Paragraph Styles drop down menu. We refer to this one numerous times in one day.1 vote -
interactive form checkmark
When building an interactive form with a check list, would be nice to have the checkmark customizable either by font or upload my own icon. The standard one used is not the prettiest.

Embedded Object Styles
I would find it helpful for inCopy files with an embedded Object to use the documents Object Styles.
At the moment I am creating bios, each bio requires a headshot. I have created a basic text box in InDesign into which I have embedded a small graphic frame to which I have assigned the Object Style "Headshot Box". Once this is created I open InCopy, place in the persons bio copy. Import the file into InDesign, edit it and place the relevant headshot in the "Headshot Box". I can then edit the Paragraph Style and Character Style, however to edit…1 vote -

Exporting an InDesign document to a HTML5 document
It would be great if InDesign will have the possibility in the near future to export/convert an InDesign document to a HTML5 document. Now you have to buy an expensive subscription for the In5 Plugin to do this.

Add New Stand-Alone Styles for Tracking Changes in Layout View
There are times when I need two lines of text to stay in a frame/page. I can do this manually, but I get overrides. I could accomplish this using paragraph styles, but globally it would impact other frame layouts; or result in many more paragraph styles (I already have over 40 for long documents). I could do it using character styles, which I do, but then I lose other necessary character styles like italics applied to a book title.
If we could have a separate Style for 'tracking', kerning, character spacing, character width, etc. it would. be so helpful.

Improve Performance when Using Multiple Paragraph Styles with GREP
I love the capability of using GREP in a paragraph style, but cannot use it much without penalty. If I used too many, the performance slows way down and crashes occur much more often. I have a high horsepower PC and a Macbook Pro with apple silicone, both with 32GB ram and both suffer from this issue.

Show Preflight error if there are objects on pasteboard
It would be really helpful to have a feature in Preflight profile settings to alert you if there are any items left on the pasteboard.
I often have to supply files for translation and any items left on the pasteboard may either incur extra translation charges or cause unnecessary confusion at back end. I know there is a script to remove pasteboard items, but I would prefer seeing that red dot as I often handle other people's files in which the objects may be in the oddest of places, such as far to the side and out of view even…

Indesign export to AI, PSD
In my opinion and experience, it would greatly help the transition if indesign could export AI and PSD files due to the additional edit

Defined dynamic Elements (images, videos & Text....) editable by Google Sheets, API or online Editor
I like to design in Indesign a document (businesscard, flyer u.a) and others can edit every released text, imagefields by themself with a free online Indesign Editor or with API, Google Sheet or Airtable Database.
So if a new employee comes a other team without indesign can edit the business card or the campagne design with new images and textes. It should be possible to export Print-PDF and PNG/JPG for online campagnes.1 vote -
Protect approved text or pages. Properly lock text, objects or layers so that Ctrl Z doesn't undo the lock
Sometimes when I am doing multiple Ctrl-Zs on a page it flicks back to an article on a previous page and undoes that too. If that has been previously approved and Ctrl Z makes changes I miss, that's a problem, especially if I press another key by mistake before I can do re-do. It would be very useful to properly lock approved content so that Ctrl-Z doesn't affect it. A default option would be great.

InCopy - Indicator of the active text frame
When working with overlapping text frames, users can sometimes become confused about which frame they are editing. Is there a way to visually indicate the currently active text frame? For instance, highlighting it with a colored border could be helpful.
Alternatively, providing a simpler method to switch between different text frames would also be beneficial.

Functionality for Properties Panel - similar to Illustrator Properties Panel
I love the properties panel in InDesign. It's fantastic for beginners. I have them set up the interface to look a lot like PS and AI. I think it makes it easier to learn and feels more familiar if they have experience with the other apps. The properties panel in Illustrator has fantastic functionality. The panels are all there so you don't have to open the floating panels. The ... allows you to open the actual panel if you need more. I would like the InDesign Properties panel to work the same way. There are commands hidden in the paragraph…

Multiple caption metadata items on one line
At the moment it appears I can create captions with more than one piece of metadata, such as copywright year and artist or Folder 0 and name. But each of these must be on its own line. There is no way to have all the data one one line unless I generate a static caption then use Find/Change.
We should be able to make captions with multiple metadata tags inline without requiring a linebreak.

Home button should not disappear
It's somewhat annoying for the home button to constantly disappear / reappear because I watch people (and myself) misclick on the File menu or maximize the program accidentally many times a day. Just leave it there all the time like in Photoshop (it's also incredibly annoying that this behavior is inconsistent across apps.)
