Embed InDesign's Acrobat export settings in pdfs so they can be retrieved by other users.
PDFs are often delivered in artwork packages with no indication of what settings were used to make them.
Files are then updated, localised, re-worked by other users (I specialise in localisation DTP) and then PDFs are required with the same settings.
If these aren't saved in the InDesign file then it would be great to be able to "import" the settings from a PDF that has been made with this feature enabled. It would save having to revert to clients who themselves may not know the settings used by the original designers / printers.

I would like to know if Adobe thinks of optimizing the management of tables in InDesign for the accessibility of PDF files
When will the automatic markup of tables (gender in table styles) like we do for paragraph styles (H1, H2, H3, BlockQuotes, List)?
<TR> row
<TH> header
<TD> data
Example when you end up with one or more vertical TH "headers" so you don't have to manage that in the PDF2 votes -
J'aimerais savoir si Adobe pense optimiser la gestion des tableaux dans InDesign pour l'accessibilité des fichiers PDF
À quand le balisage automatique des tableaux (genre dans les styles de tableau) comme on le fait pour les styles de paragraphe (H1, H2, H3, BlockQuotes, Liste)?
<TR> row
<TH> header
<TD> data
Exemple quand on se retrouve avec un ou plusieurs « en-tête » TH vertical pour ne pas à avoir à gérer ça dans le PDF1 vote -
"Use Typographer's Quotes" should be an option in Character and Paragraph styles
"Use Typographer's Quotes" should be an option in Character and Paragraph styles.
I generally use typographer's quotes. But when I'm typing in feet, inches, etc. I want the associated sign to be straight, e.g., 5' and 6". I should be able to make a style to do this. (Rather than going to (Type --> insert special character --> quotation marks) every time I want to do this.11 votes -

TOC update don't delete interactive button defined with "GoToTarget"
When working with the Table of Contents feature in InDesign and you have created interactive buttons that use "Go to Target...", the entries of these buttons are deleted (the defined target) when the Table of Contents is updated. There is nothing left but to re-enter/enter all button targets. It would be great if only new targets had to be added to the new buttons and existing ones were kept.

We need a way to convert PagerMaker files to ID files
I know that I am not the only person, that there are many of us, who were loyal Pagemaker users for many years and now have a big archive of PM files. Adobe pages says that they can be opened with ID CS6, but that doesn't work for me, my CS6 gives me a message that I need a plug-in, but that plug-in isn't available anywhere. I know I'm not the only person who has asked for a plug-in to convert PM files. Please do something about this. Adobe is really failing us.

Merge Features of Share for Review into Publish Online
Looking at all of the different feature request posted for "Share for Review" I feel it would almost be better to just merge the "Share for Review" features into the "Publish Online" since it already has many of the requested features like setting PDF quality, being able to select the number of pages, print as spreads, ect... The only thing it is missing is the ability to make it invite only and the commenting features. That way instead of two tools there is one. Maybe it has an option that when selected it adds the "Review Features" and if not…

Keeping some formatting when linking unformatted tables from excel
It would be great to have an option similar to typographer's quotes, when linking unformatted tables to excel. An option with a preference checklist to allow superscript, subscript, underline, strikethrough, alignment, etc. while still removing fonts, size, etc. especially the superscript/subscript is crucial when dealing with excel, so it could also just be a tick box for this like with typographers quote.

script no longer works in Monterey
Don't Adobe and Apple talk to each other? Every time one or the other changes tech, nothing works. They need to be on the same page as each other because it goes hand in hand with their products working together.

option to have PDF Export to output PDF using page number as prefix
Printer needs files with prefix page number. The export make no sense with it being at the end when you have different file names and won't allow the combining of multiple files with different names that I use to proof my magazines. By the way, scripts are not working using Monterey OS any more. What a disappointment.

The book workflow is unimaginably bad, and it's because of how styles are managed
After trying out the book workflow for 6 months, designing 3 books with it -
I've concluded that it's a completely broken feature, that makes my work 160% more time consuming.I'm literally in the process of moving all documents of a current book I'm working on into a single document, because it became so frustrating.
So the main problem (among many others), which has already been posted here and seemingly ignored - is the entire way that styles and parent (master) pages are managed in the book workflow.
My workflow, and I can't imagine it being that different for…

Harmonize size of curve handles and object handles as part of UI scaling
The UI scaling is a nice add in 2022. Thank you! But the handles for curves are still tiny relative to the object handles. Can we harmonize?

Allow object styles to be applies to all threaded text boxes
I have a couple of threaded text frames. I would like them to all have the same object style, which also includes a paragraph style in them.
As of now, indesign officially states that threaded text boxes can't share these settings. I can see why this makes sense in certain conflicting situations, but it is definitely required in many situations (just as I'm really needing it now).
I think it's fair for indesign to at least have it as an option that can be turned on or off - the option to apply object styles (e.g. paragraph styles) across threaded…

Convert all Live Captions to Static Captions
I would like the ability to convert all Live Captions to Static Captions. Currently, you can only do one at a time by selecting the caption, and selecting the menu item to convert (or create a hotkey).
When working with a long document with a lot of images, you can't use character styles with Live Captions. But once you convert to static captions, paragraph styles can then call character styles (nested, GREP). If you have a long book or catalog with a lot of images that rely on up-to-date captions, but then require character styles (for example, an image from…

Request for adding Mongolian language spelling dictionary
Hello,
Of course, there are many users from Mongolia, but we can't use our native language spelling dictionary in Indesign. And I want to add a Mongolian language spelling dictionary to Indesign. I've attached the Hunspell dictionary file with the hyphenation file. Hope every Mongolian will be using a Mongolian spelling dictionary within Indesign soon. Thank you!
You can find the Hunspell dictionary from these links:
