1. Restore the page overlay display in the print dialog.

   I previous version of InDesign and the initial releases of InDesign 2017, you could see quite clearly what would print on the selected sheet size. In the latest update as of Aug 2017, if I change a sheet from letter to legal that has been printed previously, letter is still selected in the dialog, but due to the preview sheet being legal and cannot see that there is a size mismatch without going through the individual dialogs. For reference, the portion of the document that would not be within the printable region showed as a different shade of grey, whereas the entire preview now shows white.

2. So many bugs. Fix them. Like Package, or being able to use GPU performance to name a couple.

   When will an update be available to fix some or all of the issues with InDesign CC 2017? It is not worth the monthly fee as is.

   Sorry Barry seeing you face so many issues with InDesign. We are working towards making InDesign a more stable application and also fixing behavioural issues.

   What would really help if you can submit any bugs/issues that you are facing along with the steps, this would help the team reproduce the issues internally. Please follow the below link to file Bugs for InDesign.

3. Improving Effects and Gradients for Objects

   1) Making Effects easier to copy/paste blending options like in Photoshop layers between several objects (similar to pasting blending to several objects)

   2) Also, improving precision and granularity of the rather smallish and sensitive gradient feather bar using mouse. When re-applying a gradient, it is difficult to slide existing gradient points without adversely affecting applied gradient to object, sometimes its easier to just restart a new one.

4. Allow native generation of barcodes

   The new QR code capability in InDesign is very handy and speeds up workflow. Please include similar functionality for all barcode types, including those such as: EAN, PostNet, UPC-A, UPC-E, KIX, ISBN, ISSN and others. The user should simply select the barcode type, enter the relevant data, and then InDesign will create a barcode in the proper size according to the standards. Of course, if the user wants to change the size for some reason, the object could be scaled. Allow selection of foreground and background color for the barcode, including transparency as the default. This will greatly speed up workflow and eliminate additional linking to external files.

   When you highlight a block of text - then select a different element - it would be really cool if the text was highlighted when you went back to the text box and selected it.

7. More options when creating Forms via InDesign

   InDesign has a few features that make it possible to export an interactive PDF-Formular directly from InDesign.

   This CAN save a lot of time when customers require changes on these Files but sadly InDesign is missing out a lot of features that Adobe Acrobat has - even though it'd be a lot easyier to set everything up in InDesign.

   So in my opinion the Formular menue needs some improvement and get more functionality (In Acrobat you can define a font VS via InDesign you can't) since more and more customers request Interactive PDF-Forms etc.

   It would be valuable to us because we have to edit every file we create after every change just to make those adjustments that can't be done via InDesign yet.

   Thanks :)

8. Vignette effect for frames

   Hi guys,

   This would be a killing feature. There's NO WAY to automatically assign a vignette effect to a photo frame. I order to do that I have to:

   1) Emulate the effect . by assigning inner shadow to a frame. This is kind of ok but it has probblems: it's not a propper vignette (vignettes actually affect corners, kind of a radial gradient) and there is no way to apply a size that is relative to the frame (I know, this is not even possible anywhere).

   2) On a picture, I can select the content of the frame (the picture) and make it 2multiply". Then I paint the picture frame with a radial gradient in black and white. This seems to be the best solution but I can't save this as an object style!

   I hope I'm not missing something.. but something like this would be great.

   Thanks!
   Pablo

9. Allow Custom Cell Padding on Imported Spreadsheets

   When importing excel or spreadsheets (.xls), Indesign CC automatically sets the cell padding on top/bottom as 0.0556" (or equivalent). There is currently no way to set default cell padding when Indesign is open without any publications/files open, nor is there an option when importing a document/spreadsheet.

   Either allow for imported cell padding to be listed within the 'Show More Options" within the import screen, or allow for a global default cell padding to be entered into Indesign.

   When publishing files that pull or link cell data from excel, each time the excel file is updated, it is a VERY manual process to individually update the cell padding in each table within a file.

   For example, one catalog I produce takes ~15-20 minutes of time just to update the cell padding to 0"/0"/0"/0" from the default 0.0556"/0.0556"/0"/0".

   When certain revisions are made frequently, it can mean several hours per catalog of manual switching that could be done with a single batch/cell style default cell padding.

10. Create the condition from a list of paragraphs/character styles

    Ability to create the new condition form a list of paragraph style or character styles
    I would improve the ability to search on more than 1 paragraph/character style at once.

    Sometimes you have to search more than one style – rather than go through each style at once, the ability to create a condition to select a range of styles would be useful.

15. When creating a QR Code in InDesign, Allow User to select VCARD Version

    We are having issues with the QR Code generator due to its 2.1 version of the VCARD. Not all readers and phones interpret that correctly, resulting in parsing errors depending on the scanner software used. It would be useful to allow the user to select which VCARD standard they want to use, such as VCARD 2.1, 3.0, 4.0, etc. This will create the metadata to be compatible with more current versions of scanning software. Not sure if version 2.1 is deprecated, but it's not always supported anymore (e.g. RedLaser, etc) causing parsing issues on the address line with iOS as an example.

16. Option to turn off auto centre when selecting layers

    When selecting objects in my layers panel, my screen jumps to that object. This is not what I want. No way. Never.

    Sometimes i go through my layers and select them to see what they are especially if they aren't named. But i don't want to navigate to them automatically! If i have zoomed in and am looking at a particular object, there is no way i want some automatic feature to take me away to a different part of the document - just so i have to zoom out and go back to where i was focusing on.
    Big time wasting feature right there.

18. Frame / Cell strokes and border-radius more like CSS

    As an extension of the idea 'Allow different coloured/weight strokes for sides of a text box' - I would like this to apply to table cells as well.

    I use InDesign to do high-fidelity web UI mockups. It would be really nice if there were more options which corresponded directly to CSS.

    What we would need is the ability to set a per-object or global equivalent to "box-sizing: border-box", so that stroke weights don't add to the size of a table cell, but always render aligned to the inside.

    Secondly, give regular text frames the same editing ability as table cells, with per-side stroke colours and weights.

    Third, enable border-styles equivalent to CSS standards.

    Fourth, as a convenience, being able to set border-radius on table cells (or even just the outer corners of an entire table) without it affecting inner cell padding would be marvellous; currently we have to hack this by layering a transparent table over a rectangle with rounded corners.
