Please add free templates that come with a paid subscription to InDesign and Illustrator.
It's ridiculous that I am paying for InDesign and Illustrator, and I don't have access to adobe stock. I need some templates and I shouldn't have to pay additionally for templates for InDesign and Illustrator.

Send PDF comment status from InDesign back to originating PDF
I love and successfully use the Import PDF Comments function in InDesign. I work through them in ID and Accept and Mark Resolved them in the PDF Comments panel. But…
Feature request: please give us the option to send the comment status from the ID PDF Comments panel back to the originating PDF. Our workflow continues to use that original PDF for comparison with the new PDF to cross-check that the alterations were made. We don't necessarily want to turn our editors loose in our InDesign files thereby introducing the chance for unintended and unnoticed changes. Thank you. ~Signed, the…

Suppress Running Header on Chapter first page
Add a setting to Running Header to NOT DISPLAY if current page contains <chapterTitle> style.
This permits a document to reflow, changing pagination, while always suppressing the Running Header on the first page of a chapter. In this way, many documents would retain proper chapter start formatting without having to manually go through and apply a special Master Page (and remove the previous Master Page) whenever pagination changes.

Long, NOT complicated, password requirements
Can you please stop asking me to write password with ridiculously complicate rules to try and make them more secure?! What's more is you force people to use something they have never used before as a password every time it gets re-set. What you have to remember is that REAL PEOPLE with REAL WORKING BRAINS need to be able to actually REMEMBER their password. Rather than spending 10-15 minutes every time they need to login to an application/ server re-setting their password because they can't remember it, how about you just make them use a long, random collection of words,…

Discrete Zoom vs. Resize Multi-touch Gesture Preferences
Currently the enable/disable Multi-touch Gestures preferences turn on and off all multi-touch gestures, including multitouch resizing of content and interface actions, such as zoom. It would be great to have an option to preserve multi-touch UI gestures, such as zoom separate from enabling resizing of content. For example, it would be useful to be able to zoom in and out with multitouch in any area without having it actually affect content.

Removal modal warnings when opening a document.
Such as missing links, fonts, etc. Perhaps a docked issues panel once the document is open, but modals block the loading, and if you happen to be opening several old documents at the same time... Also the one that needs attention inevitably pops under the one that says the document is loading. Just remove them all and find another way to give the user feedback.

It takes up to 10 (ten) times as long to export to PDF in InDesign 2020 compared to InDesign 2019. These are files linked to graphics, not just text files.

Add a feature to the paragraph shading or the underlining where you can set the angle. For italic Fonts.
Would be a big relief if you could set an angle in the paragraph shading or the underlining. With this it would be possible to underline an italic Font individually and correctly.
Right now im forced to create a transformed rectangle under the italic Font to underline or highlight it with its angle. I cant do it with underlinings or shadowing for italic Fonts..1 vote -

Option to add hidden character on/off button the toolbar
Just a little toggle button on the toolbar so you don't have to click Type > Show/Hide Hidden Characters, for those of us who turn it on and off repeatedly. I swear an older version had it.

Allow usage of Data Merge within the Slug
We often use internal templates, that utilize the slug area of documents to handle file-specific data. Often we will utilize Data Merge to populate these fields, but we can only do so if our text fields are moved from the slug area, into the document. This of course forces us to move the slug-specific content back into the slug on what can easily be hundreds of documents.
Please expand Data Merge to being useable for document text fields that don't lie directly on the page(s).

InCopy - Split screen view for Story and Layout
In Incopy it's only possible to use one view. Gallery, Story or Layout.
It would be great if we could also combine 2 views into one.With the 27" displays now in general use, we should be able to show one half of the screen in Story mode and one half in Layout mode.
This allows for users who need to change texts to show also the overset text in the story mode when the text in layout mode is not visible (due to the overset text).
Sometimes when editing the texts in Layout mode and then switching to Story…

Clear All Style Sets—Right from the Style Set Menu
Since there are a lot of windows to get to the OpenType Style Sets, we need a button that can clear all the opentype features we've tried out. This can be put into the Stylistic Sets Menu. (See attached picture.)
This isn't just valuable to me. This is valuable to:
1. Other users can feel free to use style sets, knowing that they can quickly clear all options, not spend minutes clicking through menus—Just to turn something off!
2. Font designers might add more features into their fonts if the features are easier to use.
3. You've already made that…2 votes -
Show Page Dimensions permanently in Document Window
With more than one tool to change general/individual page sizes, keeping an eye on these numbers is crucial.
Please make page dimensions visible at all time – e.g. in the slug/pasteboard area next to every page or in the Pages thumbnails, at least as some kind of tooltip or popup info. This behavior could be activated with a preferences checkbox. Thanks.
