Just came across this issue for the first time - this is insane. How can it be that for illustrator you can place and link the chosen artboard for photoshop you cannot? This is a huge oversight for apps that supposedly have near perfect synergy.

Please fix this yesterday, if not sooner.

Ideally this should be the same as placing layer comps from Photoshop into InDesign

This feature should be as straightforward as placing an Illustrator artboard. Do we need to wait years for a solution? Amazing.

By using the show import option, it just hides the other artboards but do not allow us to fit content proportionally according to one artboard, please update it

I need this feature !!! :) because their Empty Space needed an adaptation manual

Plz fix thanks

Adding my name to the list of people who find the lapse in this PS-ID functionality baffling (particularly since it works fine for AI artboards) and counter to workflow efficiency. Please fix ASAP!

This should be basic functionality for programs that are made to work together by the same company. It is unbelievable that this is still the situation, three and a half YEARS after being listed as "in backlog". Not to mention that it should have worked correctly from the start.

Yes please! One PS artboard for one page in InDesign to make a faster and seamless workflow.

Currently it's not that way. Multiple PS Artboard means 1 placed file. Even though I can do a workaround by manually duplicating the PS artboard for other page and crop it on the designated InDesign page, it feels too much hassle.

How about you unbacklog this since it's fundamental.

Please add this feature - it's two years old. Came across this post looking for the same thing. I'm really surprised to read that it isn't possible to place artboards (and its dimensions) separately!

Sooooo..... Is this happening any time soon? It's so much easier to stay within one PSD and manage 20 artboards rather then 20 different PSD for different products, buuuut... Importing and have to crop down the same psd to each product makes this feel really dum.

The whole idea of Photoshop <-> InDesign round-trip and responsive editing would really be helpful. Gone are the days of exporting a static file (e.g. psd to jpg, png, etc)
*Place* Photoshop and Illustrator artboards needs to be an option in InDesign. Much thanks for any speed that can be given to this request!

Photoshop artboards should be interpreted as different pages, same thing as when importing an Illustrator file with different artboards. The current behaviour makes no sense.

I'm constantly working with multiple artboards to test several versions of a single photo treatment. When I add and delete artboards, the impact to InDesign layouts is huge an requires a LOT of extra time. Artboards need to function like they do in Illustrator. When will this issue be fixed?

I wholeheartedly agree with bbhoff's comment- has there been any update on this request?

Different artboard names could be handy to export PDF as separate files. Now we often make two language versions on different pages (when too complex for layers). We have to export for every language another PDF. Or for different sizes advertisements in one InDesign file. If you could name the page the size and publication, and generate separate PDF's at once with one preset, that would be nice!

I need this feature !!! :)

Javed, thanks for the reply. I'm afraid that's not quite accurate.

The dialog for "Show Import Options" has three tabs: Image, Color, and Layers. In the Layers tab you can turn on or off the layers you'd like to show. A Photoshop document that has artboards lists the artboards as layer groups in this dialog. But if you turn off all the layer groups except for the one artboard you'd like to place into your InDesign document, it still places the full dimensions of the Photoshop file into the bounding box with only the artboard layers showing.

This is problematic because there is no simple way to crop the bounding box around just the artboard we want without a whole lot of manual adjustment. Scaling is also a pain because the viewable artboard isn't considered the center, so scaling the image pushes it out of the bounding box. Also, if we were to go back into Photoshop and add a new artboard, the placed artboard(s) in InDesign all get shifted within thier bounding boxes because it thinks the full Photoshop file just got bigger.

It can be very frustrating when you have a document full of placed artboards and suddenly you have to go back and manually adjust every single instance.

When placing an Illustrator artboard, or nesting an InDesign document inside another InDesign document, the placed file is cropped to the artboard size. It's also freed from all the other elements (or artboards) that are inside the original document but not part of that artboard, which helps keep the page clean and easy to manage/layout.

I hope that helps clarify the needed feature.

Thanks.
