  2. voice to text

    Help us avoid glitches with voice to text directly in InCopy. Yes, we can type into InCopy, but for long documents and articles, all the better with voice to text, to save time, and effort from all the typing. We could read citations right in; read documents in, not have to convert them to Word for Place. Let's get free from Apple/Word conversions and cut/&/pastes, thus the resulting glitches. Wouldn't this doable feature (Apple offers Dictation for free with its package) make Adobe's publishing output even easier and faster to use, and more glitch free from Word? And save us…

  3. The Color Tab in the Find/Change dialog box

    About the new feature in the Find/Change dialog box, under the Color Tab.
    It gives us the choice of finding a color and changing it to another color.

    But I've got an instance today where I wanted to change the Text that was Red to Bold & Italics.

    There is no option in that dialog box to change a color to a Character Style or a Paragraph Style. I had to find the Red text and then change it manually to a Character Style.

    I sincerely think that there should be such option.

  4. ADD Large Format sizing, as you do with Illustrator

    My idea is as simple as just being able to produce layout sizes bigger than current 216 inch limit, for being able to layout billboards, wall graphics, etc.

    The link feature and linked art boxes are able to move and crop graphics much more fluid, and also, typesetting in InDesign much more powerful than Illustrator. It's simply faster to produce a mock-up and final art in Indesign and it's easier to make corrections as well.

  5. Please let apps remember dialog box size & position

    Please make CC-apps aware of user display setups and changes, single or multiple screen resolutions. Hunting for them acress multiple screens, repositioning and resizing them each time is needlessly cumbersome and time consuming!

    1. Default:
      – in case of multiple screen setup: main screen (as specified in OS display preferences), centered.
      – in case of single screen: centered

    2. User settings
      – record and store user changes to dialog box sizes and positions with current screen setup. Store setups in prefs file.
      – make CC app recognize changes in multiple screen real-estate and store and recall users dialog box positions from this…

  6. Ability to skip certain spot colours while export in ink manager

    I often use artificial spot colors to mark some special post processes like UV-lacquering, embossing, etc. But I definitely don't need these colors on preview/revision versions of a document. Now I must export pdf and then remove those channels in Acrobat.
    I'd be very happy to see the option "IGNORE" or "SKIP" in the ink manager for each (at least spot) ink.

  8. Add track changes also to foot notes

    If you use track changes its a problem that texts in foot notes aren't tracked.
    Some type of documents (like financial documents) need trail of changes. Its even a legal request in some cases. So if you depend on the track changes function its a big problem that foot notes aren't tracked. Used to be the same with tables long time ago but that one is now tracked since many versions back...

    Seems like other also asked about this.

  11. Better UI scaling option

    The only way to adjust the UI size in Indesign is to change the scaling for your whole system, and even then it only supports up to 200% scaling and there is no way to make it bigger beyond that.

    I got a new laptop with a HD 4k screen and its already scaled to 250% (I'm using Windows 10) but the user interface is still too small and it really slows down my workflow. Even if increasing my OS scaling to 300%+ fixed it (which it doesn't), it would still be infuriating to have everything on my computer scaled…

  12. stylistic alternates

    Please make it so that OpenType stylistic alternates can be accessed through paragraph and/or character styles. For instance, my OT font has an alternate form of capital W which I prefer to the default form. It is listed in the Glyphs panel as Stylistic Alternates (salt). However, there is no way to activate this alternate W without manually replacing all default capital Ws with the alternate form I prefer. And even when I do that, reapplying a Paragraph Style to any paragraph where I've changed the W will revert the W to the default. I would like to at least…

  13. Give a button to speed up the video playback when playing the tutorial video in learn panel

    When playing tutorial video in learn panel, a speed adjusting button is necessary to comfort both the people with bad English who wants to play the video slowly, and the people who has certain experience and wants to get though the tutorial quicker.

  16. Creating text anchors for all section heading in a document

    Add a hyperlink style of TEXT ANCHOR to the TOC Style interface.

    The TOC feature allows the creation of TOC entries that recognize the text that was formatted to a specific paragraph style. If only the TOC Style interface allowed users to choose what type of hyperlink they want associated with those entries. Everything I've tried so far always defaults to the page number, which means clicking the TOC hyperlink still requires the reader to find the appropriate item on the page. Using Text Anchors for the TOC instead would land the reader directly where they need to be.

    I…

  18. Accessibility Facilitate workload & Preview mode for barriers

    For large projects, for example we are currently working on 46 brochures for a redesign, it would be more economical if the workload for accessible PDFs would be significantly lower. We have to split the production due to the high effort (creating all formats, meta descriptions with SEO incorporation, creating articles, alt texts, etc.) and can only produce fully accessible for the next production. This is a great pity, but not possible otherwise due to the tight project schedule.

    It would be great if the articles resulted from the formats or an assignment via drag & drop (or as in…
