Allow us the ability to specify relative paths to linked assets to aid in duplication of jobs and production work.

A copied file will remember all static addresses to it's previous location.

In a scenario of using templates to complete jobs where assets get replaced and flipped, you lose time linking assets to the new address when the copied ID file should be able to look within it's new HOME FOLDER, and attempt to refresh all links.

Exporting from said file is also problematic, as the destination folder is still the "original location" and not the new file location of said template.

This can be implemented as new file handling rules across all your documents, or per ID file in use.

Thank you

For many 'big print' applications, you need to upload your design in 100% off the format. But, in many cases, your design is made in 1:10 scale for better cross design, workflow and speed of Indesign.

It would be nice to 'export' your file in a scale. So that your Indesign doc remains the 1:10 scale (or else) and your PDF can easily be twice or ten times bigger. This is very handy for roll-up banner, screens, walls etc. You can say that Indesign should not be the right application for big print. But if i want that the brochure, wall and roll-up banners are exactly the 'same' in all its design, this should be very nice.

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!

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

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.
