export pdf
In my previous version of InDesign CS5.5. I could immediately type a number in and it would replace the page range. Now i have to tab to that section or manually select the range with my mouse. It doesn't sound like a lot but it greatly slows down my workflow...
Should be an easy fix!4 votes -
Automatically create page hyperlinks from page. numbers entered to the page in the document
Have an option so that when typing an index and I type in a page number on the index page the program automatically creates a hyperlink to that page - it would save me hours every year. Even if you had to create a column within a table or something to do this.....
Of use the chapter heading at the top of the page to automatically create an index

Print Booklet - Export Issues
Print Booklet - Export Issues.
Before the update back in January roughly the Print Booklet export was quick and very responsive.For some reason now the booklet export does takes over 3-5 minutes for even a small file which is only 4mb. Previously this would have taken seconds now it is taking long periods of time and also blocking my whole system up which will not allow me to use other programs etc.... This has only happened since the update from 2017 to 2018 Indesign CC.
Has anyone else had this issue and has anyone got a fix for it.

Export Joboptions with and next to PDF / Apply Joboptions from any Location during PDF Export
Don’t know if this has been suggested before:
1) I would like to have the specific export settings (a.k.a. joboptions) exported to the same location as the PDF, e.g. per checkbox “Export joboptions”.
2) If we could apply joboptions from anywhere on the fly (like via a “Load temporary joboptions” at the bottom of the PDF Export presets list, anyone who gets hold of my file could repeat my export in exactly the same way.

Export In Size
Hello.
It would be nice when we export in PDF or JPG to specify a size in MO to limit the size. And the compression automatically adjust to respect the size we've entered.
It would avoid us to go on websites like IlovePDF to compress files.
Thanks.
Kind regards.4 votes -
Export Adobe PDF - General - Pages - CURRENT PAGE
Export Adobe PDF - General - Pages - "Current Page" only.
Each time I want to export just one page from one Indesign document I have to type the page number. There should be an option "Current Page" not only "All" and "Range"3 votes -
Mark layers as visible in the exported PDF but non-printing from within InDesign export settings
PDFs have the ability to mark layers as non-printing, so that they appear visible on the screen but don't print to hard copy. I'm using this capability to add a light raster background to all pages of a workbook for students, which adds a bit of warm color to the on-screen viewing experience, but I don't want this background to use up all their toner if they decide to print the pages. Similarly, the entire workbook has page numbers, but the worksheets should print without the page numbers, because they're not relevant outside the context of the book.
I found…

Ability to scroll pages behind export windows
When dealing with longer documents, it would be nice to be able to scroll either the pages in the background or (even better) the pages window/tab to look at a range (e.g. when a document is at the end or if there are filler pages that don't need exporting/checking at this stage). People have been requesting this for years.

Export Preset Suffix
I use different presets in Indesign for the PDF export. See screenshot. I work in RGB workflow and export different papers in CMYK etc.
work with a very strict naming convention for documents like PDF.
This means that the naming can be used to determine whether the document is HighEnd PDF or View for Customer.Indesign takes over the document name for the export. I add the export names like e.g:
Document A LowEnd.pdf
Document A X4 High U.pdf
Document A Screen 150dpi.pdfI have to do this manually in each case.
It would be great if you could also…3 votes -
Make embedded video readable in Adobe Reader as before
For many years InDesign has given us the feature to embed video in PDFs. We built a business round this format. Now, with the demise of Flash Player, all our ebooks with embedded video (not Flash content) are not usable by the customers who have bought them over past years, all round the world. We pay no small sum to use InDesign and CS. You have given us this format, which still exists, yet you won't update Adobe Reader with a media player to play the resulting files. How difficult can this be? Other formats exist, yes, but none of…

Ability to skip certain spot colours while export in ink manager
I often use artificial spot colors to mark some special post processes like UV-lacquering, embossing, etc. But I definitely don't need these colors on preview/revision versions of a document. Now I must export pdf and then remove those channels in Acrobat.
I'd be very happy to see the option "IGNORE" or "SKIP" in the ink manager for each (at least spot) ink.3 votes -
Please add automated color bar, separation color information - Print PDF export
Hi! I am missing a choice in PDF export. In the print industry is needed to add colour information for the customer, what colours is the artwork made from - esp. when we use solid colours. Customers need this for the approval process so we have to add this colour-bar manually. In the PDF (composite PDF) window there are Marks and Bleed choices, but there is missing a choice to choose a colour information automatically generated from the document colours - separations. The colour information can be graphical (squares with separation names) or text based (separation name in that colour).…

InDesign to create powerfull presentations
InDesign should compite with Keynote/powerpoint, or make it easier to export from indesign to those apps.
Animated stuff is actually a need to communicate. Most of us prefer InDesign to create presentations, beacuse you can get a much bigger detail of design, than in powerpoint or keynote.
The point is that the combination of InDesign/PDF give you some limits that can be done in keynote/PP. That is a pain point for me. As a solution,
1. this combination should compite those apps with the same features
2. Having an adobe software to presentations, but we still need a format (pdf)…3 votes
