PDF progress
Hi When exporting to PDF, would it be possible in the next available version to put a percentage figure in the top left of the toolbar (next the the pdf bars). This would save having to open the background panel to see the progress of the PDF creation. Thanks from an inpatient designer. H

Import PDF comments in InCopy
If we're using a workflow that includes stories in InCopy, it'd be great if our editors/writers can manage the edits/markups to their content through InCopy so they can truly own the content (and prevent the back and forth of review/edits with designers and writers after a document has been reviewed).

How about not changing shortcuts
Stop messing with our workflow and productivity
Bloody frustrating when you change standard keyboard shortcuts like spacebar = hand grab and spacebar command= zoom just to name a few.1 vote -
Thesaurus
Hi
I have just spent 1.5 hours on a chat with your team re using a thesaurus function in InDesign (which there isn't one)
In design is a great product and amazingly intuitive with (almost) all the functions you need to create great documents however to use a simple function like a thesaurus I need to export to a .icml thingy which creates individual files for every chapter or section (filling up my files). Then you have to open each section individually in InCopy, which then creates a document that looks more like a 80' dot-matrix print out with no…9 votes -
Make an option for "freezing" document window during searches
Currently, when executing a series of finds, a document with spreads will jump around within a window, even if view is set to "fit spread in window," as described in this post:
The expected behavior is that the page where the text is found should be centered on the page. That does not work with spreads. If panels are open on the side of the window, found text can frequently be hidden from view.
So I believe there is a bug with the expected behavior. But it would be even better than the expected behavior if there were a…

Allow for setting or synchronizing book-wide footnote/endnote options
Right now footnote/endnote options are set on the document level. There should be an option so that the options can either be set on the book level or can be part of the style source sychronization set.
As it is, if I don't create a template that already has my preferred footnote/endnote settings set, I have to individually make those settings for each chapter in a book.

Recent document list remembers templates
The recent documents feature (File > Open Recent > [list of recent files]) seems to be based on files saved, not files opened. If I open a template if does not get added to the recent files. I might open the same template five times a day, but it never appears in the Open Recent list. This should be corrected or an option to include recent templates added in Preferences > File Handling. See example.

PDF comments: Import, respect, and filter against comment colors in InDesign
Please make all of this available in InDesign:
– Show the comment colored in InDesign as it is in Acrobat.
– Let us filter against comment color in InDesign as it is possible in Acrobat.
By default Acrobat comments use different colors. Furthermore the Acrobat user can choose any color for a specific comment or redefine the color for a comment type as he likes to.
In Acrobat I can even filter all comments by comment color.
This is quite useful, as it gives the user a good way to distinguish e.g. between typo corrections, grammatical corrections, and other types.…2 votes -
FORM - COMB, order, styles
Primarily, for me, is the painstaking task of setting "comb of" characters, and even worse setting the right tab order.
Panel for setting tab order in InDesign, under Object>Interactive is horrible. It is too small, height-wise, and does not function well all the time. Often it happens to "jump". I get nr. 47 after 46, but it jumps before 46.
I sometimes have over 70 form fields to sort on a single page and it is taking too much time and patience to set it right.
If you could work on that tab order panel, make it larger, and give…

Brushes
It would be great to be able to import Illustrator brushes in that can be used to style Frame Borders in the same way you can use it as stroke styles in Illustrator. InDesign is woefully behind in allowing procedural design.

Need to add a Haitian Creole dictionary to InDesign
Hello all;
At HistoryMiami Museum, we produce a lot of material in the three most spoken languages in our community, English, Spanish and Haitian Creole, following the Miami-Dade County government best practices. InDesign has already incorporated dictionaries in English and Spanish. We are looking for a comprehensive Haitian Creole dictionary to add to InDesign, for spellcheck purposes. We would appreciate any help with this matter. Thank you.

Include chapter number in index
I'd like to include the chapter number as prefix for the page numbers in the index.
Background:
I have a book with 60 documents. Each document has another chapter number and page numbering restarts in every document at 1. The chapter number is separately styled, so that it is an eyecatcher.The index for the whole book is placed in document 1. For a useful index I need the chapter numbers!
My current workaround is:
Before I update the index I enable the option "Include section prefix in page numbering" in EVERY document. Then I update my index and then…4 votes -
Incompatible 100% view between Indesign and Illustrator to Photoshop in Versions 2020
When I set object dimensions or text sizes in Indesign / Illustrator, 100% view shows larger-sized objects (in pixels) that do not match the actual dimensions as apears in a screen-shot. Meaning: There is a difference in 100% view between Indesign and Illustrator to Photoshop. This makes it difficult to design for web in Indesign/Illustrator. This issue did not exist in earlier versions such as CS5.5.

Make it possible to use ParaNumOnly in InDesign cross-reference
When cross-referencing I would like to be able to use ParaNumOnly, like in FrameMaker. In Danish, and probably other languages, the reference to e.g. "Figure 1" mid sentence should be lower case - "see figure 1" even though I am cross referencing Figure 1. ParaNumOnly would make it possible for me to only cross reference the number and control whether the case in "figure" should be upper or lower.

Row Height and Column Width definitions in Cell Styles
It would be really helpful if you could control the width and height of cells through Cell Styles, a bit like you can with Object Styles.

Please add an interactive box for images + option to set font color for interactive text boxes
I recently started to make interactive PDF forms in InDesign (which is a great tool!), but I was surprised to find out that:
- you cannot add an interactive box for images
- you cannot set color to the assigned font in interactive text boxes...
Seems like some basic functions like this are still missing in InDesign, so it would be greatly appreciated if you could add it to your to-do list.
Thanks a lot in advance!
