  1. Chemin bibliothèque locale Indesign

    Hello,
    Would it be possible to have the address locally in the "library" panel, as in the link panel? Indeed, CC libraries are handy, but 1 plugin in particular does not support them (EasyCatalog), and it is not practical to find local libraries when you have several of them.
    Thanks in advance.

  4. Export Package needed this badly

    When i package my files, i only get to package fonts that were installed in my com however, if i were to use any adobe font, zero trail in package document font folder. This will cost people time telling the printer or marketing side, hey its adobe font that's why its not in the package file. Or worst whoever take over the project on a new com, have to wait till they open up the file, and indesign or illustrator says hey your font missing. Blah blah blah.

    Solution: What if you guys create a file that have adobe font…

  5. File Lock auto-release

    We have multiple editors working remotely, with a policy of locking a file while working on it. But we have a repeated problem of files being left locked at the end of the day, meaning others are unable to work on them. Please add a pop-up on closing a file which asks "do you wish to unlock?".

  6. Converting Microsoft Publisher docs to InDesign

    Marksware used to have a great conversion program (PUB2IND) , but they no longer make it, and my version only works with CS3, which came on my used mac that I purchased. Now I am having trouble with that computer and have to transfer it to another, which is an entirely different problem. Working with old systems/programs is problematic to sat the least. I would very much like to see something built into InDesign that would convert these files.

  7. Interactive PDF/Form Function

    Interactive PDFs - Better functions for Setting Tab Order.

    Being able to reorder interactive items in InDesign is a great feature (instead of doing so in Acrobat) but there is room for growth.

    1. Having the ability to track the selections you're reordering would be nice. For example, you select an item in the box and it selects or highlights those items on your page so you know for sure what you're reordering.

    2. You could use the active document to select an item and have the Set Tab Order box open/working to reorder.

    3. Having the ability to expand the "Set Tab…

  10. Option to remove empty frames in Data Merge

    Empty image frames placed inline in a text field will throw off the alignment if the text field is centered. (This happens when you're going to have a row of, say, icons and different pages will have different numbers of icons)

    It would be excellent to have an checkbox in the Options tab of the Data Merge dialog box to "Delete empty frames" upon merging.

  11. Global spellcheck that does not review Master pages

    Have "Lorem Ipsum" default to "No Language" when used on master pages - or provide a spellcheck bypass of master pages option. We have deliverable templates that we are working from - but the designer used "Lorem Ipsum" for all the text including different paragraph styles. Or is there a way to globally select all text boxes on the 70 master pages - to change to a "no language" setting?

  12. Set default image editor

    When editing a lot of placed images, we have to specify the right editor each time, over and over. InDesign has to generate a long list of possible editors (and other apps that are never uses to edit a photo, such as browsers). This takes time.
    Please make a preference to set the default editor - and a keyboard shortcut to load the selected image in that editor.

    I know, we can tell the OS to open all images with e.g. Photoshop, but that is not a real solution, since it breaks some other workflows.

    Just give the possibility to…

  13. PLEASE give us a better History function such as the one we have in Photoshop.

    It would be awesome if we could see where we are when we press multiple undos. I can do this so easily in Photoshop, but in InDesign I have no idea where I am in my workflow and the ability to go back and forth in a History Panel would make life SO much easier.

    Thanks

  14. Uniform behaviour of Compound Paths in InDesign and Illustrator

    Illustrator gives full control over Compound Paths.
    Unfortunately, when copying those in Illustrator and Paste in InDesign,
    the Compound paths often don't survive in the correct way.

    Please let InDesign behave the same way as Illustrator.

  15. File handling behaviour

    I would like indesign to First, look in its resident (root) folder for fonts and links, then look in subfolders (ie packed folders "fonts" & "Links") and only then, if it cannot locate them, go looking in the folders defined as "original links folder" or "most recent links folder".
    I would like this to apply to both opening a file and to saving the file and exporting files (pdf etc)
    and if this cannot be a default behavior, then I'l **** it to be an optional behavior.

    Why?
    because when I package a file I want the indesign file to…

  16. Is Interactive Video Wall Display Shaping a New Future?

    If anyone said that the majority of a person’s day time will be spent in front of a screen, then no one would have believed that. Presently, an average human spends almost half of their awake time in front of some kind of screen; be it in their home or office.

    No doubt, the quality and the projection of these screens have improved drastically. Starting from TFT screens to AMOLED or even foldable screens, technology has helped in changing how we look at the screen.

    Recently, there has been a new breakthrough in video wall display: The Laser Phosphor Display…

  17. Picture form field for mac and overapping with another field

    It is also an absolute concern of mine that you can also create image form fields, even if there is a logo on top of them, for example. Currently it is only possible (and only via windows) to create an image field without, for example, a bar with a font or a logo overlapping.

  20. GPU acceleration in Windows PC

    Hi! Why does GPU acceleration in InDesign only work on MAC? I have an extremely powerful Windows PC with next-generation Nvidia Quadro video card, and you just forgot about Windows PC users. Can't do like Ilustrator? Can't use GPU processing intelligence in InDesign? I work with huge two- and one-column footnote files with lots of AI and PSD images. But the lack of GPU acceleration is frustrating. Thank you!
