I too am an In5 user and have wondered about Adobe purchasing Ajar Production’s code and rolling it into InDesign. I suppose that Adobe would prefer for web design to concentrate in XD (or Dreamweaver). I wish to retain GREP and other features, my experience, and my work. (I see someone on Adobe XD User Voice requesting hanging punctuation. We have that in InDesign and Publish Online supports it, albeit without selectable text. I wish Publish Online supported a selectable text overlay).

I would absolutely LOVE this password protected option! I'm a Realtor and this would be a game changer for me!

YES!!!

I use publish online to send proofs to clients. Would love this so I and my clients can feel safe that their documents are safe.

Publish Online and Interactivity are the best things happened to InDesign.

If Adobe adds password protection/user based login, and self-hosting, that's going to be next level.

They have been investigating and reviewing this feature since 2019 but still nothing happened.

Adobe Team, please buy in5 or their team and speedup the rollout of such amazing features before some other programs completely take out existing users.

in5 has amazing features like flipcards, scrolling frames, export to html and resizable liquid layout. We want all these in InDesign. Please please bring them here. 🙏

Agreed Online Publish password protection would make this viable choice

Agree - please make this happen. Or speed up native hosting.

additional related thought... currently anything I publish with the Publish Online feature is tied strictly to MY Adobe ID. This makes it not a great solution for publishing anything mission critical for my company. If I leave the company, so does access to those published documents, unless I share my login credentials with other people, which is obviously a security no-no.

I love the concept of publish online, and use it in a number of instances when I need something quickly accessible via a web browser. However, because I can't password protect or otherwise restrict access, I have to be cautious not to publish proprietary company information this way. If I could export to this format, but host the files on our company intranet with it's existing access control, that would open up a number of possibilities when publishing training material and other sensitive information.

Our government, academic, and corporate clients (and us too!) would love this...but the files can't be uploaded to someone's cloud server...not even Adobe's.

They'd be willing to pay for a self-hosted edition of Publish Online.

In fact, I'd bet that this feature would revolutionize the publishing world, just as Acrobat did 30 years ago.

Think about it, Adobe.

ADOBE IDDESIGN 2020 PASSWORD.

Password protect would really help issues we have - and combining it with a short link generation

Clients of ours also requested to publish online with password protection. Would be a greatly appreciated feature!

Much needed!

Is there a way to publish a book file? It seems I can only publish one file but not a compilation. Is this true?
Yes, and really need the password protect feature.
Very much needed.

This feature would be invaluable. Absolutely has to happen

this feature would increase the value of this product hugely

I would like the password feature added to Publish Online. I have 2 clients that won’t use it unless they have password protection

@Abhinav Kaushik, Please I would like to know about this asap. My client doesn't want to use Adobe host.

@Abhinav Kaushik, Please speed up this feature and give us a date for this to be added. It would be extremely helpful.

Also please make a option to update an existing publish online link from any other adobe id/system/account.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
