1. Custom spaces between paragraphs 2.0

   To get much more than »only« custom spaces - an extented idea:

   I think to make it nearly perfect, we need to implement another Group inside the ParagraphStyles - say »Exceptions« and built like the nested styles area, for example:

   No intend ------- after ParagraphStyle --- Head
   No intend ------- after ParagraphStyle --- Subline
   (etc.)
   .
   (for List 1)
   Space before --- after ParagraphStyle --- List 1 --- 2mm
   Space before --- after ParagraphStyle --- List 2 --- 2mm
   .
   (and for List 2 etc.)
   Space before --- after ParagraphStyle --- List 1 --- 1mm

   With something like this we would be able to set many »exceptions« inside by using only one named ParagraphStyle ...

   This would solve the problem of "on" or "off" in one go. No rule = off.

   Regards
   Joerg

2. Show description text when choosing existing document to update.

   The Publish Online feature has been really useful for my company--we create brochures for specific clients or potential clients, and provide them access to the electronic version of the brochure.

   Most of our brochures are based on a single template, but are altered slightly to meet the needs of the specific client. We always enter a fairly generic document title in the Document Settings fields of the Publish Your Document Online window, because that title is shown at the bottom of the page when the document is accessed by the end user.

   We then use the "Description" window to capture specific information about the document--like the name of the client it was personalized for, or whether a specific section has been edited from the standard, etc. for this particular document. This means that I have a large number of documents with the same name hosted on Publish Online, but they are all slightly different.

   The problem comes when I want to update a specific one of the hosted documents. In the Publish Your Document Online window, when you choose Update Existing Document, you are asked to select an existing document to update, and are presented with a dropdown window listing all of the documents hosted on Publish Online. However, this window does not show the description information, so there is no way for me to differentiate between any of the documents that have the same name.

   Without this information, in the majority of situations, I simply cannot use the "Update Existing Document" feature. Instead, I have to republish the edited document, and then navigate to the Publish Online Dashboard (which does show the descriptions) and delete the existing version of the document that I just updated.

   This is inefficient, makes the publication analytics inaccurate, and changes the URL of the final document. If our client bookmarked the URL in order to return to the document at a later date, they will now get an error message when they try to follow that bookmark.

   I have attached a jpg that shows the information that I can see when I access the dropdown menu in the "Update Existing Document" window. I have attached another image showing my Publish Online Dashboard including the document titles and descriptions.

3. Estimated Output Size

   When saving a PDF output, it would be nice to choose your saving options (image quality, resolution) and get an estimated size. Like if you know you need something under 10MB, you could adjust your settings to match that without having to retry saving until you get the right size.

4. Break the table straddle rules (borders)

   Often we're receiving the feedback from our internal clients that table rule to be splitted whenever the tables are having multiple heads (attached the screen shot). Currently we unable to achieve this, need to fix in InDesign to fix this feedback.

6. asset managers for images

   Have an option to directly import from desktop to CC libraries images (jpg, etc.) to have them ready available to insert into the document. As well have an oversight of which images/graphic have been already used in the document.

   This would facilitate creation of photo-books, catalogues, encyclopaedias, etc. Any sort of document where certain assets are to be used, especially when multiple similar assets are available and they have to be chosen according to the rest of the layout

9. Support for .oam files in interactive pdf‘s

   Wouldn’t it be great if you could publish an interactive Pdf and have the ability to see some basic animation to help tell your desired story? I’m not talking about an ePub here, or an outdated flash file. I’m suggesting that a widely accepted format across multiple platforms, the Pdf, should have the capability to play an lightweight animation / .oam / .gif rather than only be able to have a huge .mp4, with massive compression!

   Surely by now we could have some nice .svg animation. Is html5 able to be implemented into in design? There must be a relatively easy solution to this.

   Does any one have any ideas how this could work?

   Adobe, what can we do to help you make this a reality?

   Thanks in advance :-)

   Wolf.

10. [ID-4258038] Change the Eyedropper Tool back to default on the tool bar instead of the Color Theme Tool.

    The standard Eyedropper Tool used to be the default option on the Tool bar. This was convenient for sampling colors as well as text styles. Now, there is no way to change the default from the Color Theme Tool to the Eyedropper. The Color Theme Tool has its place in Illustrator, but as InDesign is mostly used for text, it is crucial that the Eyedropper Tool is quickly accessible. In my career, I have barely used the Color Theme Tool in InDesign, whereas I use the Eyedropper daily. It is frustrating for my coworkers and I to now change it every time we open the program, when it was the default for so many years.

    Available in Prerelease Builds  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

    In the latest InDesign Prerelease build (20.2.0.30), available via Creative Cloud Desktop App, the Eyedropper Tool has been moved to the top, above the Color Theme Tool.

    
    

    If you are not part of InDesign's Prerelease program and would like to join and try out the latest Prerelease build, please do the following:

    
    

    * Go to https://www.adobeprerelease.com/

    * Sign in with your Adobe ID (the Email ID associated with your Adobe account)

    * Select ‘Available Programs’

    * Find ‘InDesign Prerelease’ and click ‘Join’

    * Once you’ve joined, go to the Creative Cloud Desktop Application on your machine, click on 'Apps' in the section on the left

    * Select the 'Pre-release' tab – there you will find the InDesign (Prerelease) build

    * To check the Build number of the Prerelease build, hover the cursor over the name – you will see the Build number 'v20.1.0.070'

    * Select ‘Install’.

11. Please allow the ID/IC workflow to function with the Creative Cloud Files area

    Right now, if you store your InDesign and InCopy files in CC Files and share (collaborate) that folder with your team, all the files are synced EXCEPT the lock files for InDesign and InCopy. This prevents users working on the same project from knowing if someone else has opened an InDesign file or has checked out a story (ICML) file. SO people try to use Dropbox, Google Drive, or Box, all of which have figured out how to sync the lock files for checked-out stories at least. No one as far as I know has been able to sync the .idlk files generated when an ID user has opened the ID file.

    ALL OF THIS should be supported by Adobe. They are all Adobe apps. Companies who try to use CC Files to collaborate w/InDesign files and/or InCopy files run into major problems because they assume that's the point of CC files. to collaborate on live files created by Adobe apps, especially since other cloud solutions allow this.

    PLEASE fix this, thanks!

12. Object Styles: Size and Position relative to spine

    When setting an object's position with this feature, one must choose left or right for X position. With Anchored Objects, we can choose for that to be "relative to spine" instead. So instead of "left" or "right", we can choose "inside" or "outside".
    This would allow for symmetry on a spread. Example: an object could then extend from the spine, beyond the page edge, through the bleed, whether on a left or right page.

13. Automatic hanging indents/"indent to here" for lists

    Currently, creating hanging indents for lists requires either manually adding "indent to here" ahead of every list item, or fiddling with the left indent and first line indent options of the list paragraph style until the desired effect is achieved-- a process that must be repeated if the type size changes or for subsequent list levels.

    Since hanging indents are what one almost always desires when creating lists, it would be great if this was a checkbox option one could simply turn on when setting up list styles. With the option on, InDesign would automatically indent all text to the same place without the user having to do any manual tweaks.

    Attached is an image that demonstrates the desired end effect of this feature. Thanks for considering it!

14. XML Enhancements

    InDesign is having huge XML limitations, even we cannot handle below mentioned basic options:

    (1) Find and Replace the XML Tags with / without Parent XML Tags
    (2) Find and Replace the XML Attributes based on the selected XML Tags
    (3) Converting the selected contents in InDesign into XML Comments
    (4) Copy and paste the contents directly in InDesign from any XML editors without losing XML Tags and XML Attributes
    (5) Show all selected XML Tags with relevant page numbers with link to locate the contents

    Much more…

    If Adobe is start thinking on improving / breaking these requirements, will be much helpful to handle XML first workflow projects easily within InDesign.

    @ALL: if you agree, please vote for this idea.

15. Option to split table rows across pages

    Lord please, if you're up there, answer our INDD prayers and make this a feature. A LOT of tables have rows with more content than can be held in a single page or bottom of a page. It's impossible to layout a continuous book or brochure if I can't get the table text to split - it doesn't have to be the default, but give me the option - please, please. WORD does this, be better than Word!!

16. The KEYBOARD INCREMENTS part of Units and Increments preferences should application level not document level.

    I have to go into this panel multiple times a day to change this from 2 to 1.
    It should be application level, because it all relates to how much I expect text to move when using keyboard shortcuts. Or at least let me toggle it or override.
    I think this is like if my custom keyboard shortcuts were document level and I had to set them back up every time I got a file made by someone else.

18. Please increase the MAX page size to above 14400 pixels (20")

    Pdf can support page sizes up to miles long or wide.... (although this is slightly absurd, but yes, MILES long!) but if you create a large page in InDesign you are met with a lovely error message when you come to export. Larger page sizes would be beneficial for lots of reasons, app prototyping, print, really long articles and pictures of Giraffes ;-)

    Seriously though, please oh wise Adobe can you increase this limitation to a more reasonable number, Thank-you.
