It is bad document design to have the whole document in one single text frame (a nightmare when doing changes and everything moves). At the very least each chapter should start with a new text frame. So it seems crazy that you can set footnote numbering to restart every page, spread or section but when none of these are selected the numbering should flow through the whole document! NOT restart for each text frame. Thank you.

would be cool if we could select the ID-layers-visibility via datamerge. (like Photoshop can do since CS1)
For example:

data1: layer1 is visible, layer 2 is invisible
data2: layer2 is visible, layer 1 is invisible
etc.

AND: it would be great to select objectstyles via datamerge. like XMPie can do.

But XMPie is far much too expensive for small daily business.

The ability to select 2 non-contiguous pages>right click/select from the contextual mouse menu & have the option to "Swap Pages...." - instead of just "Move Pages....".

It would be great if you could place photos or text from Google services - Google Photos, Google Docs, Google Drive. InDesign would simply need to integrate the Google APIs for those services, then it would be seamless to import these objects - better yet would be supporting of links, so edits to Docs could be updated in InDesign the same way changed photos show update status of linked photos.

Hello,
it would be nice if there was an invocation of an xml-file by url. It's time for InDesign to look to the future.

J'ai un document d'une centaine de page, sur toutes ces pages j'ai des hyperliens qui pointent sur différentes pages web, dans ces hyperliens j'ai un nombre a 6 chiffres qui est tjs identiques sur tout mes hyperliens, j'aimerais comme quand on utilise la fonction remplacer (ctrl+f) pouvoir remplacer ce nombre de 6 chiffre par un autre nombre sur tout mes hyperliens.

Est il possible de le faire ou de créer cette option?

When designing calendars and long-edge bound landscape documents (such as flip charts), it would a tremendous help to have a setting that shows pages in two-page spreads on top of each other rather than beside each other.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature request. When creating an alternate layout from the original portrait letter size, shouldn't the Create Alternate Layout also display the same settings and orientation. It currently landscape the letter size.

I guess this works well for people who need to create a portrait and landscape version. This is not the case for me. I find myself creating either the same size and orientation or larger (poster).

This would be one less click in my process.

Thank you for your vote!

In Indesign 2018 while printing, we can reduce/increase the width/Height of the page with "scale" option.

Please include this "scaling" option in "Export to PDF" in Indesign, to reduce/increase the page width/Height.

When using data merge, I'd like to be able to apply master page from merge field.

Ex.:
If my merge field value is "Value A", i'd like to apply Master page A.
If it's "Value B", Master page B.

It would be a great way to improve customer customization.

It is hard to see the PDF preview in the Import PDF panel.
It would be great if you could choose the size of the thumbnail or adjust the size of the entire panel.

I think it would be great if the QR codes that are generated can be actually tracked. The number of users, where it was scanned, etc. Basically, Google Analytics but only for QR codes.
It would make things a great deal easier instead of setting up Google Analytics to track this information.

Hi, I think it would be really handy if the pages would have a rename feature. Rather than them being labelled page 1, 2 etc in the Pages tab, the User could label them as needed.

Once I set a bookmark on a page, I would like the bookmark name to be highlighted in the bookmark panel when I'm on the page. Just like how when an image is selected, the name is highlighted in the links panel.

Hi.

InDesign allows you to rotate the sheet at 90º angles to the right, left and 180º.

It would be nice to be able to also rotate the sheet freely, as for example allows Photoshop.

Sometimes when you design, although you can rotate 90º in 90º, you end up having to twist your neck.

I hope you find the idea useful

.Thank you.

When moving pages to another document InDesign tends to make a new Alternative Layout for these, without asking.
My documents have the same page size, so please just add the pages,
or at least give the choice to append the pages or to create an Aternate Layout.
This new feature breaks old functionality.

I am staggered that Adobe InDesign does not support GPU performance on standard display i-Macs - there must be tens of thousands of frustrated InDesign users now struggling with performance issues. This is a huge oversight, particularly when Photoshop and Illustrator both support GPU performance on older iMacs - sad to say very poor of Adobe.

Our company has moved all of our files to BOX (cloud-based). InDesign's links do not recognize URL so it defaults to our local drive.

We had to reach out to a company called Silicon Publishing and purchase a connector (plugin/extension) to deal with all the links that need to be cloud based (a true URL path).

Why had Adobe not addressed this and why are we having to purchase plugins to make the software work correctly?
