1. New "Justification Auto-Correct" Feature

   Justification, while pleasing to the eye from the perspective of an entire page, creates problems. Hyphenation can correct this, to some degree, but it too has its problems. In the end, when justifying text, certain lines of text end up being scrunched while many others leave wide open spaces between words.

   In doing my best to correct for these problems, I tend to make most use of the horizontal scale feature. I often find that most of these visual blemishes (scrunching or overly-wide word spacing) can be corrected by either reducing the horizontal scale down to about 97% (in the case of scrunching), or increasing it to (usually) 103 to 106%. In the worst cases, I have found a need to increase the horizontal scale to as much as 112% or more. When this is necessary, I have found that compensating by reducing the vertical scale to 97% often visually corrects for most of the weird look created in the letters by stretching them to 112% or more.

   I would like to see a feature where InDesign could auto-correct for justification problems such as these. It would obviously need to analyze the spaces between each word. When the visually pleasing average spacing is ruined by justification, this justification auto-correct feature would employ similar changes as I have described, above.

   This would of course require a new element introduced in the Paragraph Style Options window, possibly called "Justification Auto-Correct," with a similar on-off check box akin to the one on the Hyphenation tab, and with standards set of reducing scrunched lines by as much as 3% horizontal scale (to 97%) and a standard of up to (at least) 106% as a standard. As already noted, exceeding 108 or 109%, in my experience, tends to get to the point where the letters look stretched--too much. Thus, an option to allow for reducing the vertical scale (standard up to 97% perhaps) when the horizontal scale exceeds a certain amount would be prudent to include in this feature, as well.

   I can spend HOURS manually correcting these justification problems. I would imagine that most people simply ignore them, because they are pesky, require you to read through the text carefully in order to spot them, and---when you make changes--require you to remove the manual correction you have made.

2. make font preview display filtered weights properly

   I'm attempting to preview all san-serif, heavy weight, regular width fonts. While the filter shortens the list of fonts in the preview window, when I use the arrow keys to see my live preview I am getting only light weight previews. If I want to see the heavy weight version, I have to pop open each font group and select the heavier weight version. What gives? This is such a basic idea... please show me ONLY bold, heavy, extra, etc. Don't show me light weight previews when I am filtering for heavy weight. This limitation makes live preview almost useless.

3. Downloading Workspaces

   I have a personal account with custom workspaces. I would like to be able to I go to work for someone else in their office, using their account, and easily download my workspaces from the Cloud. This feature request is for all Adobe apps, not just InDesign.

5. Don't add an extra page when endnotes are imported

   The new endote option is nice (could be better, but hey, it's something). The only thing that bugs me is the fact that a new page is added everytime I place text that contains endnotes, or when I copy/paste that text.

   It screws up much of my design, and I have to manually delete the page and put everything back in it's right place.

   Would be great if the endnote frame would just be placed on the same page as the end of the text flow!

6. Preference setting for "Preview" switch in dialog boxes

   I am wishing for a preference to switch on all the dialog box Preview switches in ALL InDesign dialog boxes; such as especially the Paragraph Styles dialog box, the Character Styles dialog box, the Text Frame Options dialog box, etc...

   Everytime I upgrade InDesign or sit in front of another classroom computer, I have to switch these on one at a time. I would love to streamline that.

7. HTML Image Export Options — add resolution option of "original"

   During HTML export, if we want optimized images, we are only given 4 resolution options (72, 96, 150, 300)-see attached screenshot.

   Sometimes we only want certain aspects of optimization to occur. For example if original placed image is a TIFF, we definitley need InDesign to export it as a JPG for the web. BUT we don't necessarily always want the resolution of the image to be altered.

   So it'd be nice to add an "ORIGINAL" or "NATIVE" option to the resolution dropdown menu. This would allow us to export the images at their original resolutions, while still converting to differnt filetypes and compressing.

   Also a "CUSTOM" option would be nice—so we could enter our own resolution if needed.

   This would give us much more flexibility for exporting, which would be hugely helpful for getting our content into the perfect formats for websites.

8. Object alignment to frame

   Can there also be an option in the Align window to enable embedded or grouped objects to align with their parent frame? The feature would be disabled by default for parent or objects that don't have any child (embedded or grouped) objects.

   The feature would enable users to align objects that are grouped/embedded to be aligned to the frames boundaries and horizontal/vertical centres, which would not be possible with current alignment options. It could also help users to align objects that have uniquely shaped frame boundaries.

9. We need an automated process to create multiple documents with one template.

   Imagine a process where Company1 creates an InDesign doc/template. They attach it to a customer account where that customer can upload a CSV file to populate the stories in that doc. Let's say 5 stories

   If that CSV had 30 rows with the 5 stories in each row then the InCopy > InDesign functionality would create 30 unique documents with potentially unique content.

10. New object remembers previous object's settings

    In Illustrator, if you draw an (for example) orange rectangle with a 5pt outline, the next object you draw will have the same settings. How do I do this in Indesign? Each new object I draw in Insdesign defaults to the same basic setting, and does not remember what I previously drew. Your Support people tell me this is not possible. Please add this feature to a new release, as the default. (And, yes, I know about styles, that's too long-winded as I might just need to draw a dozen orange boxes once).

15. QR-Code - Overprint Attribute for Black not available

    QR-Code - make overprint attribute for Black available
    At this time it is unfortunately not possible to set the attribute for overprint for a black QR code. As today QR codes are well readable on bright colors or images it definitely would be advantageous if this option would be given to avoid register problems in printing.

20. Name spreads for export

    When we export as png or other formats from indesign we always have to rename all our exported pages and spreads. Over and over again if we make changes and export again. Why cant we have the option to give a spread or a page a defined name for export. Example, I always have to rename documentname(15) to banner_560x500 and does this on all 15 exports. Please look into it ❤️
