  1. Publishonline Ideas votes must be separated from Indesign ideas.

    Indesign users and issues are far away more than publishonline. I think it's fair to separate them so publishonline users have more efficiency. Publishonline will have a great future if we could invest on it. Although it is improoving very slow. Lets speedit up.

  2. Spread numbering confuses clients

    When publishing spreads, numbering is for spreads spread 1, 2 ,3 etc but paging in document is different. This confuses clients and spreads should be numbered as pages page 1, page 2-3, page 4-5 etc.

  4. Stop flashing when changing next, previous page.

    When pressing navigation (arrow keys) publishonline is flashing or clearing the page. Please stop that and just display the next page!

  7. Pop window note

    I work within teams that open and close ID files. The existing noting and share for review is just too slow and complex for the majority of the work we do. It would be absolutely amazing if you could save a simple twitter style small note when saving. So when the next person that opens the file can read it as soon as it pops up on open and can either choose to keep it / ignore or dismiss the note. Which will get rid of it. And you can only save one note to the saved file which will…

  8. If Adobe could do a spreadsheet application

    This is not a specific feature request, but more a general idea about Adobe doing a spreadsheet application.
    Think about using functionality in Illustrator and InDesignTo be able to draw new sheets in threaded “Spreadsheet boxes” and “Cell boxes”, using layers for calculations/functions/data as well as text/graphic assets, writing functions and formulas in native language, using any graphics assets for conditional formatting and diagrams, place files in InDesign with full compatibility, advanced text formatting in Text Boxes nested with “Spreadsheet boxes”, tear-away panels.
    Just some initial thoughts....

  9. PublishOnline dashboard folders

    About time the dashboard provided a better file directory to allow users to organise their files better.

    When you have multiple clients with over a hundred live publications it can get messy!

    A simple even only single level file/folders option would be great so I can move all clients publications into their own folder.

    A thousand agencies around the world would greatly welcome this I promise you!

  10. Option to turn hard coded navigation arrows on and off

    I would love to be able to turn the prev next arrows off when not required. They can interfere with the design appearance of a publication.
    It made it worse when Adobe made the arrows even thicker!
    It should be easy to do for Adobe. Again Ajar In5 can do this. Indesign should be able to do it natively

  11. Set zero point by selecting the intersection of a horizontal and vertical ruler guide

    Set zero point by selecting the intersection of a horizontal and vertical ruler guide followed by a keyboard shortcut. Saves time spent dragging from the top left corner to the intersecting guides

  13. Make All Styles Explicit and Accessible

    Currently we can open a pallet for Object Styles, Paragraph Styles, Character Styles, Table Styles, Cell Styles, and of course Style Packs.

    We need to be able to access TOC styles, Caption Styles, Image Styles, Effect Styles, Animation Styles, Group Styles, Text Frame Styles, Image Frame Styles, Fill Styles (swatches), Stroke Styles, .Basically, anything that contains a defined set of characteristics that can be interchangeably applied to various objects..

    That is to say that styles must be interchangeable with other like styles. For example, you can apply any paragraph style to any paragraph. Every paragraph style will work on every…

  14. Remember last selected section in Preferences

    Remember the last selected section in the Preferences window.

    For example, if I selected File Handling then clicked OK in the Preferences window, File Handling should be selected the next time I open Preferences.

    Right now it always defaults to General. While in many cases I want to use the last preferences section I used before when I open the Preferences window.

  15. Merge Across

    In Excell, you can highlight several columns and there is an option to "Merge Across" where it will merge each row individually for the entire column. I'm working with a list of items that includes some html tags that InDesign treated as tabs, so it turned them into extra columns. In order to get them back to what they should be, I'm forced to merge each row individually, whereas this feature would allow me to highlight the original and extra columns and merge them all at once, keeping them in each of their rows.

  16. Author name of PDF annotation exported from InCopy notes must not contain date & time

    When exporting from InCopy to PDF with “Include Notes As Annotations” checked, the author name of each PDF annotation should not have the note’s date and time appended as a suffix. Doing so effectively attributes each annotation to a different author and makes PDF comment filtering based on author name (or datetime, would that filter eventually exist) impossible. I consider this a bug.

    The date and time of a note should instead be stored in the “modification date & time” metadata of the PDF annotation, which Acrobat populates and displays for annotations created with itself.

  17. Share for Review - Option for reviewers to toggle single page and spread view.

    It would be great if the review online interface had the option to view the project as spreads or as single pages.

    My coworkers who review prefer to make notes/revisions as single pages, but the publications I create are designed as spreads. It's a pain to go through and share as single pages and then move them back to spreads as I work. It would save me from exporting extra PDF samples to show full layouts when there is so much back and forth.

  19. Package convert images to specific format

    For architects, urban designers, and artists, InDesign has become an essential tool. However, our needs differ from those of graphic designers, introducing unique challenges. We often maintain specific folder structures for original files, repurposing them for various mediums - be it print, websites, or emails. For instance, when delivering a poster, it's inefficient to include large PSD images in both the 'links' folder and another location. Notably, for academic submissions, recipients often don't require layered files; they need images suitable for websites, emails, etc. Considering that most competition or submission layouts remain static after submission, a "convert images to a…

    It would be great if we can get control over layer visibility by page in addition to by document. Add a visibility-by-page icon next to the visibility-by-document icon that controls visibility by page.
