An export option that would allow the user to select multiple options for exporting their document, in one simple 'Multi-Export' option.

An idea of how this would look could be in the 'Export' dialog box, the user would be able to check a box that would enable 'Multi Export'. This would mean you can choose multiple methods to export in one easy opportunity in the Dialog Box. An example of this would be;

I, the designer or user of InDesign need to send a client a Medium Resolution copy of the file before we hit print, but I also want to export the Print Ready document straight away, along with a Web Quality version to go up on their website.
This would enable a designer or whoever to export (for example) a Proof of a document to send to the client, PLUS a Print Ready Document, PLUS a Web Ready document as an example, all in one go so to speak.

Please see attached document to fully visualise my idea.

Thanks

Form fields tags aren't exporting properly for tagged pdfs in the newest Indesign 2018 (13.0.1). The tags won't show up in the file therefore not allowing the pdfs to pass the accessibility checker. There are no issues when exporting as tagged pdf from the 2017 CC.

I am frustrated with recognition for fields export from 2018 to pdf. I have been avoiding using 2018 for this reason. When you talk to Adobe you have to speak to an indesign specialist or a Adobe Acrobat specialist and neither one knows the other program!!! The Adobe expert tells me how to fix it in Acrobat, which I don't care! The Indesign expert says I am doing it correctly and it should work!! Arrrh!!!!

I will keep using 2017 until this issue is dealt with!

I remember CS6 had this feature, and not having it on CC makes exporting PDFs a big hassle.
When I export a PDF from Document A (say with margin and crop marks) then go to document B (which I usually export without margin or crop marks) It still shows me the exact same settings I used on A.

It should be file dependent: Some files I always export with margin only, others need crop marks. So at the moment I always have to change it again and again on every document.

Would be nice, if I export a file with certain settings, to save this info in the file itself, so when I open it next time, change something and want to export again, it shows me the same settings as before for this document.

Would also be possible to set it as possible checkmark in preferences in file management or something, if there are ppl who actually like the way, the export is behaving now and want to keep it.

ARTICLES AND LAYERS
When the logical reading order is set in Articles, it would save time if Layers could replicate the same order, whether it’s automated or if there was a way to select “Use Articles reading order for Layers.”

TABLE STRUCTURE
Set header scope for both columns and rows in cell properties in InDesign.

Simplified complex table structure.

FOOTNOTES
Set the hyperlink and correct tags when footnotes are referenced in tables.

More layout flexibility would also be helpful.

ALT TEXT
Adding Alt text to hyperlinks

PATHS
Paths not included in Articles should remain artifacts. If that’s not an option, maybe a “Find and Artifact” option would be helpful.

LANGUAGES
We have a legal statement translated in multiple languages. Currently, only 9 of the languages we need partially export to PDF. It would save a lot of time to have the language codes added in the Content properties automatically included in the Tags properties. We’re currently typing them in both places manually.

Thanks for your time!

In InDesign CC, when you export a file as a PDF , but you previously just exported that same file as a PDF and still have it open, you get an error message saying: "Cannot save to the file [filename].pdf, because it is already open." I would like that dialog box to have a "Try Again" option.

Right now I have to click "OK", close the PDF, then go back through the exporting dialog box. The "Try Again" function would allow me to just close the PDF then just click "Try Again", which would use the same settings I just chose. This would thus skip having to go through the Export dialog box, saving a step.

Sometimes with larger documents, Exporting can slow down Indesign, or can even render my computer useless at this time.

It would be a great option to be able to schedule the Export option for a time of my choice (at night when I know I wont be using my computer for example) as to not slow the computer down when I need to use it most. I envision the file still needing to be left open in Indesign for it to schedule and export correctly... But what I imagine is you would still choose all your options and everything as per normal, and only right at the end you select a 'Schedule Export', with a calendar like function, (Potentially limiting the user to schedule within 24 hours perhaps?).
I can see this helping someone like myself, where an export can render my Graphic Design abilities useless for an hour or more as my computer has limited capacity and tends to chug when a large export is in progress. A Schedule function would mean I could leave the exporting until say... Lunch Break and when I get back, the exports could be completed by then.

A STEP FURTHER would be Scheduled Export Queue, with a dialog box panel of Queued Exports, and the ability to rearrange the order of documents, and even a button to 'Export Now', when you are suddenly needing that exported document straight away (would be completed after a 'in-progress' export has completed)

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks,

Tom
