1. Enable Animated/Scrubby Zoom

   Add the animated/scrubby zoom feature for PC users--it's time. It's ridiculous Photoshop and Illustrator has it, but not InDesign? Since Mac users are given tools PC users don't have, perhaps Adobe should discount our subscription fee.

2. Unequal inset values in an Object Style don't display in a text frame if corners are rounded

   If you use an object style with unequal inset spacing and apply it to a text frame, the unequal spacing is ignore and made uniform.

   Steps to recreate:
   1. Create an Object Style
   2. Go to 'Text Frame General Options' for that style
   3. Set unequal values for 'Inset Spacing'
   4. Go to 'Stroke & Corner Cptions'
   5. In 'Corner Options' set 'Rounded'
   6. Create a Text Frame
   7. Fill Text Frame with placeholder text
   8. Apply Object Style to Text Frame

   Result: unequal inset spacing is ignored.

   If you apply unequal inset spacing manually there are no problems — unless you apply a corner rounding greater than 6mm, at which point unequal spacing is ignored.

   I've attached a screenshot of an InDesign file which demonstrates all of this.

   Here's a link to the InDesign file: https://adobe.ly/2X6CVOd

   As an addendum to this: object styles seem quite buggy generally. For example, if you set an initial paragraph style and select 'apply next' then later edit the paragraph style, the text frame doesn't always display the changes.

   If you use an object style with unequal inset spacing and apply it to a text frame, the unequal spacing is ignore and made uniform.

   Steps to recreate:
   1. Create an Object Style
   2. Go to 'Text Frame General Options' for that style

3. Apply object style to a group

   It would be nice if I could apply an object style to grouped objects. Especially useful when using only the position functions.

4. Uncheck Shared Hyperlink Destination by default

   In the panel 'New Hyperlink' the box 'Shared Hyperlink Destination' is by default checked. I always (must) uncheck it. Two questions: can I reset these default-settings somewhere. (I think not - but I'll like to do that). There is no possibility to put this check on/off under a shortcut. That should be nice for automation-purpose.

5. User Interface Ideas for newbies

   hello
   I think a good change for newer users is to make it to where the user interface is more user-friendly. I don't mean the whole app I just mean certain things. For example, one thing would be, is to make the options panels easier to stick. I didn't know that you had to drag the box to one side of the screen to get it to stick to the app. It took me the whole day to figure this out, otherwise, when you move the InDesign app to another screen those panels get left behind. So either have a little help box when moving the tabs called "sticking problem?" and have a small explanation or have the light blue sticking indicator be triggered inches before you reach the edge of the screen and obviously, you'll have to test it out though.

   Put the "paragraph style" tab default on the paragraph tab. It's not there when I installed it, so I had to highlight something and in the properties and then I had to click the down arrow and click manage styles and poof there it was.

   Another fix is to keep the options bar at the top when under the essential workspace. I would watch tutorials where they had this at the top and would this couldn't figure out how to make it work. An hour later I found a video that told me how to fix it. I'm new to this app but it would make sense that the essential workspace having it and the classic essentials would not but they are a switch. just add the option to the essential workspace that would be my fix. I'm sure there are more improvements but I haven't run into them yet
   finally put on all your app, an ok box when either user first installs an or get an updated, stating that there's help for the user. And it would say instead of going to google or youtube that there are adobe cloud tutorials ready to go just for the user. :D. I didn't know this until I called customer support to help me with an issue.

7. Print miniatures (multiple pages) with definable scale rate and border style

   1) Please add option to print miniatures with a definable scale rate
   2) Please allow to print multiple pages (with 100% actual size) on one sheet
   3) Please add printing option to apply something like an object style to the pages (e.g. border style, drop shadow)

   These features would be great timesavers for internal discussions and external presentations during the whole design process.

8. Some way to synchronize and update styles (Paragraph and Character especially) across multiple InDesign documents.

   Currently, there is no way other than the undesirable "book" workaround method to have a set of Paragraph Styles - that can be updated globally accross multiple InDesign documents.

   There should be some way to synchronize and update styles (Paragraph and Character Styles especially) across multiple InDesign documents.

   This could be done by some kind of external "Styles" library (ideally, both Local and or Cloud based) that can be applied to an .indd file, that when updated or changed, will then update or change any document using that same Styles Library.

   Currently, it is very difficult to keep Styles updated across documents. If you build one template file, and save out copies of it, any changes made in the original template or in any of the copies you have made are local to that document and in no way can stay in sync with all others. This is madness.

   2018 Adobe… this has been an issue for so long. Please fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9. To implement the Advanced Composition Engine font technollogy

   Advanced Composition Engine is a technology far superior than OTF and TTF so it would be a great engine to use within Adobe products. Not just for Arabic and eastern script but for every possible script. It is 2019 so let's get our options to max level.

   You can read about Advanced Composition Engine at this article:

10. Relink already placed images with new images

    When I tried to relink an already placed JPG in my InDesign CC 2019 file with a larger version of the same graphic with another file name, the Links panel showed the new file name and the new graphic size, but the placed image in my InDesign file remained the same.

    For example, the original graphic was 1" wide and the new graphic was 3" wide. When I relinked the 1" graphic to the 3" graphic file, the image in my InDesign file still showed the graphic as 1" wide even though the Link Info showed the new file name and the new graphic size.

    This means that I have to re-place the entire image and redo all of the "effects" connected to that image, which is a lot of work in a book with many images!

11. InDesign to accept TeX / LaTeX inputs

    Like InDesign is accepting Quark inputs till some version (say version 4.0), I'm expecting such feature to accept TeX / LaTeX input too as many of Authors are still using TeX / LaTeX as inputs and the same need to typeset using TeX / LaTeX software.

    If InDesign is accepting these inputs, we can directly include in InDesign and proceed the further typesetting process.

    One difficulty is usually TeX / LaTeX inputs will have much mathematical equations.

12. Align top line of text frame to baseline grid

    Hi InDesign Team—

    The very handy Only Align First Line to Grid feature is essential for building out multiple styles in books and editorial work. However, book designers are in desperate need of a similar feature for text frames, where only the first line in the text frame aligns to the baseline grid. This is essential for building out pages of backmatter, where the text is tighter and does not necessarily align to the baseline grid of the book, but the distance between the head margin and the first baseline should remain the same.

    Is such a feature possible, or am I missing something that is already possible in InDesign to prevent these kinds of mis-aligned pages. Currently the only solution is to have multiple masters for different text blocks in the body text and the backmatter, but it seems a simple Align Only First Line of Text Frame would ease a lot of pain.

    Thank you,

13. Export vector objects as .svg in ePub

    When exporting to ePub, please include an option to export vector objects as .svg instead of automatically rasterizing them. .svg objects is supported in ePub so there's no reason not to have the option to export vector objects as vector objects.

17. Automatically Apply Character and/or Paragraph Styles to Text Frame.

    It would be helpful to have the text character and/or paragraph style in any given frame change dynamically as the text re-flows.

    For example... If I have three columns of type and the middle column is reversed white type in a black frame, then I always want whatever text flows in the black frame to be white, even if it was previously formatted as black. And the white text in the black frame should automatically change back to black if it flows out of the frame.

19. Quick change of tables column width and row height

    Please give us the ability to set column width and row height of a table in one step.

    Today I only can change one table column after the other if I want different column width. The same is true for table rows if I want different row height as well.

    With the script (AutoColumn) from Gerald Singelmann it’s possible to change at least all column width in one step. I didn’t found a script for row height till today.

    I attached a video (AutoColumn.mov.zip) where I demo the script and perhaps this explains it a little bit better.
    You can download the script (AutoColumn.jsx.zip) I used in the demo here: http://www.indesign-blog.de/downloads/as2.zip

    This script saved me tons of hours of manual work.

    It would be very helpful and time saving to have such a concept for tables in InDesign as a native feature!

20. Stop auto pushing clients into Bridge

    Bridge to me feels like a piece of software I don't actually need.

    Would it be possible to either:

    1. Add the ability to block Bridge from auto installing
    2. Add the ability to remove and or change the short cute that initiates Bridge from downloading and opening, as its only one key away from outline text.
