More control over file name when exporting multiple files (such as PNGs for an animation)
When exporting images from pages on an inDesign document it names them like this
document
document2
document3
..
document9
document10When you import these same images into Photoshop to make a stack or to start an animation the layers don't appear in the right order because photoshop obviously doesn't understand that the file without a number is the first one, and that document 10 shouldn't follow document1, so they have to be reordered manually. Could you not add a tool so we can ask or files to be called file001, file 002, ... it would save a lot of time

objects selected upon unhide just like illustrator
In Illustrator and InDesign I am able to hide objects in the doc. In Illustrator when I "unhide" all of those objects they show up and are then selected. In InDesign when I "unhide" they merely show up, but are not selected. I don't know if I'm unique in the way I use this feature, but it is very handy to "hide" everything I want to select and then "unhide" to then have the selection. It is useful because with objects that overlap, it can be very cumbersome to find a way to select a bunch of things

Import mobile app Illustrator file directly into InDesign without needing to download or export first
I'd like to be able to place Illustrator mobile app files directly into InDesign, as opposed to exporting them or downloading them first.
I often place desktop Illustrator files into InDesign, therefore any changes I make in the Illustrator file I can update from the Links panel in InDesign ('update link'). However, I don't have this option with mobile app Illustrator files.
I understand I can download the files from my Adobe account, or export the files into jpeg/png etc. But I don't want this for two reasons:
1- It's an extra step in my workflow
2- I can't make…1 vote -
I wish Cross References could be used as "callout" text.
I would like to be able to use a sentence inside a paragraph as a callout para so if the sentence is changed inside the paragraph the callout will change. You can do this only if you use the first sentence in the paragraph as the cross reference.

It would be nice to have the brush tool and pen tool act the same in indesign as it does for illsutrator.
So I wouldn't have to go between the two to make the illustration for a page or article. As of right now the pen tool and brush tool in indesign do not have the fluidity and functionality that they could. Why can't I see the line I am forming using the indesign pen tool? I think the brush tool and pen tool in indesign are far less functional than they are in photoshop even (the brush tool), but especially illustrator and its pen tool outdoing its indesign counterpart.

How about a progress bar when relinking images?
I just got back an InDesign document that someone else had edited, and I needed to point it towards my own copies of the links. I spent about 3 hours trying to figure out why InDesign would seemingly crash every time I tried to update the links (it would put up the "Spinning Rainbow Pizza Wheel of Death" cursor and "Force Quit Applications" would say that the program was "not responding.") I finally figured out that it was just taking 10-15 minutes to process all the images in the folder, but not putting up any information or a progess bar.…

InDesign and other CS programs
Although I encountered a few surprises when using InDesign or could imagine new functionalities, I still think, that InDesign is more convenient to handle than Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat and CameraRaw. I just present here two commented screenshots to encourage Adobe for a more "unifying hand" bewtween these programs

Allow the 'owner' of a Share for Review document to use an alias
I'm a freelancer and it would help if I could 'mask' my real email address/identity when I use Share for Review so that my client's clients can't see who I am. Ideally I should be able to create an alias so that I appear as 'MyClient Studio' rather than a third party.

Allow unlimited characters in Share for Review
An issue that keeps coming up with my clients is that they would love to write more comments within the "Share for Review" feature, but because of the character limit, they have to share their comments with me in a separate email. Could Adobe implement and unlimited characters for the Share for Review?
Thank you!

Saving Online PDF on different cloud
There needs to be an option to save the online published PDF on either google drive or iCloud or dropbox. When we have to handover projects which involve ebrochures, its a prime necessity that the Urls generated can be stored by the client itself. Being a designer, I dont know how to send all the rights to the client for online published data.

mandar a revisión libros
Buenos días, tengo un archivo de libro con varios capítulos y me gustaría subirlo para que lo revisaran, pero no puedo subir a revisar el libro entero, tengo que mandar a revisión el documento de capítulo a capítulo. Sería interesante poder subir a revisión el libro entero igual que generamos el pdf ahora mismo.

Split screen view
I use comments from PDFs to update work I do in InDesign. Split view on the Mac is the ideal scenario.
Acrobat Pro DC allows split screen.
InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop (CC 2019) do not.What's up with that??? Come on Adobe. You're better than that.

Automatic tables by adding 'Column Space'
This would be a major improvement of tables in InDesign that would be the envy of any other program and I think it is possible for InDesign to do it.
This feature would automatically make a table go to its text box width with even spacing between each column of text.:
This is how it would be done with a new feature called something like 'Column Space':(1) You would make sure the table is within a text box to the width you want the table to go to.
(2) You would then adjust the columns of text within the…1 vote -
Give us a way to turn off "Space between paragraphs of same style"
I don't know why this new typesetting option was considered useful, but it is driving me crazy. Is there a way to turn it off?

Make Save as line scalable
When you scale Save as dialog, the file name line did not grow. It's only a few letters wide. When you replace file or make another with slitgly changed name you must scroll to end of file name even the name fits to window if the line is wider.

Find Format within Styles Panel
I'm a book designer using many different styles, usually ported in with XML. It would be great to embed a pull-down option for right clicking on any style for some kind of "find next" feature, where you can quickly toggle to the next instance of each style without pulling open the Find/Change dialogue. This would help me to quickly set parameters for undefined styles that come in from my XML.
