Publish online needs to be able to tell the difference between spreads and single pages. I publish a magazine using publish online and with the page numbers at the bottom, it looks like it is half as thick as it is. or have an option to take the page numbers off since they are in the magazine and I don't need them on the web page.

It would also be cool if when animating the magazine in InDesign there was a page flip, though I do like the way I do it now because it's different, it would be cool if I could make it look more like a magazine.

Another idea is it would be nice to be able to get the HTML/CSS so I can host it myself (I know I can embed but it's not the same)

Here is one of the issues that I have published for work to see what I am talking about. if those features are there and I am just missing it, please let me know.

Published Online files should include a print option that sizes a page to a printable option. Currently if I upload our publication (a coupon book) to Publish Online and we try to print the page shown on the screen it crops most of the page regardless of the browser used. You can shrink your window and sort of get the desired result, but we don't think most of our readers will know how to do this. Also it would be nice to be able to select a page range of what to print. I know you can include a pdf to download, but pdfs are not secure and can be manipulated by someone with a little knowledge of pdf editing. We don't want the public to be able to change what we publish, potentially causing fraud with our advertisers.

Inclusion of a Publish Online option like what pdf export has of spreads with Two-Up Continuous (Cover Page) would be a nice feature too.

Publish online is nice, but I think it has some ways to go still. We may resort to paying for 3rd party services like Issuu, flowpaper, or similar companies to get the result we are wanting.

I wish there was a way to post InDesign files online that would easily allow proofreaders, editors, clients or anyone without a lot of technical know-how to log in and make text edits. Freeing up designers from spending countless hours making text edits.

We tried InCopy, but we store files on a shared server and move files up and down through a project management tool. Being able to properly move the InDesign and linked icml files was way too confusing for our writers and proofreaders and out of the question for clients.

When we work on PPT presentations, we post the presentation on Office 365 and everyone could log in and make changes. The same is true when we work on Websites, by using AEM. And, for HTML email, we use a drag and drop email builder that allows the whole team to log in and make text edits. I wish that was possible for print material created in InDesign. There may be web-to-print tools, but moving away from Adobe is out of the question.

Maybe there could be an InDesign feature similar to Publish Online but include a way for someone to log in and make text edits. Somehow the Local InDesign files would need to connect to that online document to automatically update the local InDesign file. Maybe, the designer would download icml files similar to an InCopy workflow.

It would be great, since many people use PublishOnline to generate newsletters and other similar types of documents that are sent to a large audience, to be able to input simple responsive forms (essentially surveys) of 1-5 questions that send answers back to a programmed space either within PublishOnline's dashboard or to a designated space. Or, allow us to embed suveymonkey javascript survey code somewhere so we can track it that way. I was recently asked if I could add a one question pulse survey to my newsletter I create with PublishOnline and can't find an easy solution without just putting a link to go to surveymonkey (and we'd lose most opportunities for responses if we required more than one click to get a response).

The Publish Online feature has been really useful for my company--we create brochures for specific clients or potential clients, and provide them access to the electronic version of the brochure.

Most of our brochures are based on a single template, but are altered slightly to meet the needs of the specific client. We always enter a fairly generic document title in the Document Settings fields of the Publish Your Document Online window, because that title is shown at the bottom of the page when the document is accessed by the end user.

We then use the "Description" window to capture specific information about the document--like the name of the client it was personalized for, or whether a specific section has been edited from the standard, etc. for this particular document. This means that I have a large number of documents with the same name hosted on Publish Online, but they are all slightly different.

The problem comes when I want to update a specific one of the hosted documents. In the Publish Your Document Online window, when you choose Update Existing Document, you are asked to select an existing document to update, and are presented with a dropdown window listing all of the documents hosted on Publish Online. However, this window does not show the description information, so there is no way for me to differentiate between any of the documents that have the same name.

Without this information, in the majority of situations, I simply cannot use the "Update Existing Document" feature. Instead, I have to republish the edited document, and then navigate to the Publish Online Dashboard (which does show the descriptions) and delete the existing version of the document that I just updated.

This is inefficient, makes the publication analytics inaccurate, and changes the URL of the final document. If our client bookmarked the URL in order to return to the document at a later date, they will now get an error message when they try to follow that bookmark.

I have attached a jpg that shows the information that I can see when I access the dropdown menu in the "Update Existing Document" window. I have attached another image showing my Publish Online Dashboard including the document titles and descriptions.
