Link Font Size with Leading
As someone who is often laying out text in large booklet type documents, I often need to adjust text and leading on text to visually suit the design Im working on. An annoying function Ive run into (definitely not the end of the world) is that if I may need to adjust the size of the font and the leading of it to suit what I need... If I then adjust the size of the text, the 'custom' leading size doesn't constrain to the size of the font as you increase it.
This would be an awesome feature to be…

Migrate Workspaces On App Updates
ALWAYS migrate user workspaces when an app is updated.
It is SO FRUSTRATING to be on a tight deadline and have your UI blow up because Adobe pushed a version update without migrating over your workspace settings.
There is no point in having savable user workspaces if they all disappear every time you update the application.

Lock the ability of InCopy users to change things like kerning, leading and character compression
InCopy users sometimes take too many liberties with their abilities to change copy. Flowing copy is one thing, but shoehorning in more or less copy than intended allows for too much grey area, and it can take more time to go back and fix what they've broken than it would if that ability was limited for them. If InCopy settings in an InDesign document had check boxed that toggle which abilities InCopy users would have (and grey out disallowed settings), that would be wonderful.

Please add InDesign as a supported Creative Cloud file type
I was very excited to learn more about CC files and libraries during Max. I wanted to start implementing CC files to take advantage of versions and file sharing. It's very disappointing to learn that InDesign isn't currently a program that's supported for CC file saving. Please add it.

Avoid Widows and Orphans in Paragraph Styles
It would be great to have a check box or even a separate tab for Widows and Orphans in Paragraph Styles. Right now you have to use GREP to get this to work or control them manually. It would be a huge time saver to add this option into the style settings. These are well-known and widely used typography rules that should be a part of InDesign.

Would be awesome not to have our team on Chromebooks totally locked out from doing simple text editing on InDesign files.

Grid Page View
An option to view the pages within a single document in a grid layout, rather than just one continuous column of pages one below the other. It would be a valuable tool for designers that wish to view a lot of their pages at once, rather than having to continuously scroll up & down the many pages of an InDesign document.

Place PDF comment text boxes into INDD as a text box
I have trained our marketing team to use the Acrobat commenting tools correctly so we can streamline our editing which is great now with the PDF import. However there are times when larger chunks of text are being added. They would draw a text box on the page with formatted text. It would be IDEAL if we could just click accept and the text box appeared in INDD. Then we can just format it.

Add rows to margins and columns dialogue
Within the Margins & Columns dialogue box, it would be very powerful to be able to add a series of rows as well. Basically, bringing the baseline grid within the margins that a user can create in this dialogue box. It can behave exactly as the columns do, only they show up horizontally along with the columns. It may also be necessary to have a checkbox for gutters, I could see a use-case for having gutters or not.

Add option to share direct link to specific page in PublishOnline
We love PublishOnline but feel it is missing a "jump to page" feature or "share direct link to specific page" feature. This way, when our publications go live, we can share direct links to specific articles on social media or with clients without forcing people toggle through each page to get there. pretty please? It would help us out immensely.

Possibility to change the default language in Middle Eastern version from Hebrew into English
I have the Middle Eastern version of InDesign. I understand the default for all settings is Hebrew/Arabic. I would really like to be able to change the default language into English when I will be working on an English document, and then be able to change the default back to Hebrew when I am working on a Hebrew document. As it is, I feel like I am constantly running into Hebrew formatting while trying to make an exclusively English product. It seems all the settings have to be changed individually, and even seem to automatically jump back into Hebrew format.…

sort paragraph styles
I'd like to have the option to sort paragraph styles by alphanumeric sequence. That would make it much easier to find the right styles after importing them from multiple documents.

Interactive PDF/Form Function
Interactive PDFs - Better functions for Setting Tab Order.
Being able to reorder interactive items in InDesign is a great feature (instead of doing so in Acrobat) but there is room for growth.
Having the ability to track the selections you're reordering would be nice. For example, you select an item in the box and it selects or highlights those items on your page so you know for sure what you're reordering.
You could use the active document to select an item and have the Set Tab Order box open/working to reorder.
Having the ability to expand the "Set Tab…

Allow user to change default color of Ruler Guides
For those of us with color-blindness issues (and it's my belief that there's a lot more of us than you think...), there really needs to be a simple preference switch for the default Ruler Guide color to be changeable. It should be so simple to just go into Prefs & select the guide color we can actually see, then simply carry on working. But currently it's a complete ball-ache every time to have to go into 'Layout > Ruler Guides > Change color > Ok'. The current 'long-way-round' change guide color process is just an added frustration to every job!…

Watermark-option when pdf-export (interactive) from InDesign
When you export a pdf-file from InDesign (as an interactive pdf), there should be an option for watermarks.
With this option you could save time because you don’t have to use Acrobat afterwards or create a new layer in InDesign.In Acrobat this option is already available, but with more opportunities (you don't need so many). It would be enough to have the following possibilities:
- „text of your choice“
- text scale
- text opacity
- text angle (0°, 45°, 90°)4 votes
