  1. File Handling selecting recents..

    File handling selectively delete recents.
    It would be great if you could selectively delete recent files by right clicking on them with options rename, delete, copy, replace. PDF expert by readdle is has a great way for doing this and is very helpful and fast for filing docs.

  2. Why is accessibility not one of the Idea categories on this site?

    Accessibility is a very important and specific area. It needs its own entry on the list of idea topics on both the request and bug report forums.

  3. Update the dictionary in all languages

    Hi! Make updates to the the dictionaries part of the updates that come down from creative cloud. Or make it easier for a user to update their own dictionary. Words like coronavirus should be included, these are easily spell checked with Google but not in InDesign.

  4. Migrate published links between accounts

    It would be helpful to be able to transfer hosting of published InDesign links between licenses of the program - for instance, if someone moves from one institution's license to another and does not want their existing links to become inactive, or if somebody leaves a company and the work that they uploaded on their license needs to stay online. The main reason this would be helpful is to allow stability of the links, rather than having to re-upload and then make sure that all interested parties are given the new updated link.

    MyWifiext is an official online address for setting up and configuring a Netgear Wi-Fi range extender. Also, it is one of the easiest and simplest ways to setup the range extender. Furthermore, Mywifiext allows the user to update the extender’s settings, configure, and install the range extender, among other things.

  6. Please allow resizing of a document with the ease of Illustrator's resizing tools.

    Please allow a document resizing tool, much like the tool in AI, for quick and easy document resizing. Sometimes it's hard to know what size I need the document to be so I have to go in multiple times to edit the size.

  7. Forced line-breaks converts to a space in running header

    Forced line breaks are converted to a space character when displayed as a running header.

    This will often show up as multiple spaces in the running header.

    Forced line breaks, should simply be removed.

  8. Copy CMYK, RGB values in Color Picker as text

    I would like to be able to copy RGB or CMYK values as text so I can paste them elsewhere. This would be helpful in my daily work where I make color palettes and then describe them with text in a brand guide.

    I would like to be able to copy RGB or CMYK values as text so I can paste them elsewhere. This would be helpful in my daily work where I make color palettes and then describe them with text in a brand guide.

  11. Export to a Word/.doc file

    Would like to be able to export a project to Word. Which typically exporting to PDF is fine, there are some clients that require us to send them Word/.doc file. I've been exporting to PDF and from there exporting to Word, but that means much of the formatting is lost.

  12. Embed IDML data into INDD files for permanent single-file offline backwards compatibility

    Just embed IDML data into every INDD, at least optionally. A separate IDML file requires having foreseen the need for backwards compatibility, making sure it is up to date each time the INDD is changed, or resorting to server-side conversion, all of which are a nuisance and unnecessary.

    An IDML’s file size is usually anemic when compared to its INDD counterpart, so that is a non-issue.

    Even Photoshop asks you whether you want PSD files to be backwards compatible.

  14. Allow patterned fills like in Microsoft Word

    More advanced graphic design software like Microsoft Word enables a pattern (with colour options) to be applied to a solid form. InDesign lacks this feature.

  15. Sorting alphabetically (A-Z) and all other languages

    This is very important feature for any application deal with text and books.
    i think i don't need to mention that other applications like Ms word have that option.

    it is really important that InDesign should have sorting option for paragraphs/text and tables.

    it is disappointed that in that time still sorting options is not exist in InDesign.

  17. PDF comments - Option to remove all resolved comments at once

    Option to remove all resolved comments at once. An option to remove all resolved comments in the comment window would be very interesting, because indesign has a performance issue with too much comment.

  18. Show grid in front of some layers but not all

    Add a setting to somehow designate a point within the layer stack where the baseline grid would appear. The desire is to have the grid visible in front of a background layer but behind everything above that. Perhaps in Preferences->Grids where there is currently a "Grids in Back" checkbox, there could be an additional checkbox of "Except lowest layer" or "Except lowest __ layers" or something. Alternatively, the setting could be in Layer Options, something like "Show Grids in front of this layer". You get the idea.

  19. variable images

    It would be great if we could utilize the concepts of Data Merge and Conditional Text, maybe even along with Master Pages. For example, I have a long document 6 chapters that have four main sections each, but within each section there are 2 additional layouts that I need to apply. With all of the variations of the content if I were to make master pages for all of them I would end up with 80+ and that won't be functional

  20. Combining Text Variable and custom Script (Calling a script to compute text variable instances)

    Text variables sometimes require more complex processing of conditions, and the list of variables that we have now, with rare exceptions, is more like "text constants".
    It would be nice to have a new type of text variable, the instances ​​of which are calculated using a custom script, with each inserted instance having to be calculated separately, depending on where it was inserted.
