How can we improve InDesign?

← Adobe InDesign: Feature Requests

Add additional interactive options to the buttons and forms panel

The buttons and forms panel (used for making interactive form elements for PDF) is missing several options that are available in Acrobat such as:
* insert image button
* insert date button
* insert barcode button

There was a request to do this but it was marked FIXED and (in my humble opinion) is far from fixed - https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/20482882-more-options-when-creating-forms-via-indesign

    I want my students to be able to upliad an image please! I donnot want to hav to add this feature in Acrobat. Please add to InDesign interactive!

    Any feature added for interactive PDFs almost seems pointless because Adobe can't seem to make them "stick" when exporting Interactive PDFs. Before features like this are added, I would prefer to see Adobe fix the basics, like font color.

    Please consider this!
    This is needed. Desperately!

    Yes please! It's crazy that if we edit the original in design file we then have to re-do any advanced edits in acrobat afterwards because it's not native to indesign.

    We can't even set text field validation via format categories in indesign. So no numbers, dates, percentages etc. This is such basic stuff.

    Please sort it so we don't need to further edit in acrobat, it's too destructive to the entire process if you have to edit the original file as it adds a lot of work.

    Very frustrating that you closed the last feature request on this when it's only half arsed fulfilled.
