1. Cover building tool

   It would be great if InDesign had a tool for easily building covers. Something as simple as allowing variable column widths so that you could input the width of C1, C4,spine, and the width of the joins on either side!

2. Styles order when importing or book synking

   It would be a good thing to keep styles order from source file.

   If i have the following list of styles
   - Style 1
   - Style 2
   - Style 3

   and i create a "Style 2X", i can place ir right above "Style 2". But when it is imported from another file or inked on a book, new style goes to the end of the styles list.

   We should have an option like "keep list order" when link or import.

   Is it possible to do that?

   Thanks!

4. Auto anchor table cells in forms to export correctly to tag trees in PDF

   Clients frequently want accessible forms made in table format. Please set the cell fields (graphic cells) to auto-anchor and correctly export to the tag tree in PDFs. Currently, the exports do not work well with assistive devices and require much remediation--sometimes more time to remediate than actually designing the file correctly. Note that all USA Federal Government publications, forms, etc., MUST meet Federal law regarding accessibility. Remediation in exported PDFs needs to be minimal. Thank you.

6. Share for review—interactive documents

   Loving the new Share for Review feature, but how about the ability to markup documents with interactivity. Currently, all the buttons, rollovers, etc. disappear when using this feature—which implies it's just a baked-in version of adobe DC's commenting feature for static PDF documents.

7. 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) to fit those features
   3. This could be a good one, ally with KN/PP and create and export solution to work in both spaces.

8. Import pdf comments - make easier to copy comments, UI improvements

   Hi!

   Make easier to copy all or part of the comments:

   • currently the selection cursor doesn't appear until it's very close to the text. Make it appear immediately when it's touching the right or left edge of the comment (not the text edge).

   • make it more compact for PC screens (not tablets, etc). There's too much empty space and padding which means more scrolling. E.g. 1) Leftmost side is kind of mostly empty, except containing the icon of the commenting user. 2) Page number line only contains page number and could have less padding. 3) Resolve/Accept buttons line only contains those buttons, and also has too much padding. 4) Commenting person line, similar problems.

   • perhaps make option to display the commenting person/date, most of the time I don't need to see this information for every comment.

10. Adjust Text Frame With Type Tool

    It KILLS me every time I input or type text in INDD and get the cursed overset text error, but I have to switch to the Selection Tool to reframe the text box, then switch back to the Type Tool and continue. PowerPoint and even Google Slides allow you to move your cursor near the boundaries and adjust the size of the text frame without switching tools.

    What's more, switching to different tools while editing type is slightly annoying. Because you can't hit 'v' for selection tool, you either have to click the selection tool or click outside the text frame then hit 'v'. I'd love to see the type tool be able to adjust the text frame when you move the cursor to the corners and centers of the bounding box. I think any typographer and designer would be in love with this feature.

    Resolved For User  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Senior Lead Quality Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

    You can easily achieve this without the need to switch to the Selection Tool.
    Hold down the Ctrl key (while you are in text edit mode or even when you are not in text edit mode or when the text frame that you want to resize is not even selected). When you hover the mouse over the text frame, you will see Resizing handles (shown as 9 solid points on the bounding box) – you can drag to resize the text frame.
    Hope this helps.

11. truly floating frames such as are available in FrameMaker

    FrameMaker has a fabulous option for anchored frames that allows it to truly "float" in the sense that if the text flow causes the anchor to be too close to the bottom of the page, the floating frame will appear on the following page.
    With InDesign the frame will stay on the same page, appear at least partially above the anchor, in which case the text-wrap doesn't get applied so an image inside the frame would for example cover part of the text.
    So I would request to implement FrameMaker's version of floating frames!

13. Managing multiple tabs in InDesign is an abomination

    Managing multiple tabs in InDesign is an abomination. Firstly, the tolerance between reshuffling tabs and pulling a tab out to a separate window is far too small. Try doing this on a 4K screen, move your mouse a couple of millimetres up or down and all of a sudden your tab is now it's own window. Worse still is that when you pull it back into the tabs, it goes right to the back.

    This leads me to my second issue. The lack of any way to reshuffle tabs that have multiple tabs in between. There are two ways to do this and they are both tedious at best. Firstly is to move a tab four or five documents ahead. Then select a document four or five tabs ahead of that, then re-select the document you are moving and move it again. Repeat a bunch of times until you've moved the tab to where you need it and hope that you don't accidentally pull it out into its own window, because you have to start again. Second method is to open every single tab in between the two documents you're trying to bring together and open them out to a window, then drag back into tabs (this sends that tab to the back).

    The InDesign devs should look at how After Effects handles tabs.

14. Find / Change Format enhancements (find font variants / implement NOT logic)

    I've just been conducting extensive Find / Replace operations on a number of documents, and I've been struck with a way to streamline certain operations. It's currently possible to find specific formats, either specifics relating to the typeface(s) used, size, leading, etc.; or search for specific character and / or paragraph styles.

    When searching for specifics, it would be useful to be able to search for a more generic usage of 'Italic', say - so, if you search for 'Italic', it would match 'Italic', 'Bold Italic', '500 Italic', 'Oblique' etc. Currently you must search for every iteration of italic based on the specific reference used by the typeface you're using.

    A second enhancement would be to implement NOT logic in the search which would enable the finding of manually-formatted text (search for all instances of 'Italic' that are NOT already assigned with the character style 'Italic'). The current method means you have to manually check all instances, irrespective whether they're already formatted.

15. Add ''SAVE ALL'' and ''CLOSE ALL'' into INDESIGN ''File MENU''

    Add ''SAVE ALL'' and ''CLOSE ALL'' into INDESIGN ''File MENU''. Using Indesign for years and years, I never see that the shortcut exists ! And past many time saving or cloqsing file by file. Don't you thik it could be a great idea to code it inthe FILE MENU of Indesign... It could be great when using Books and many files at the same time.

16. Review link will be deleted after saving Copy

    Bug: If you generate a review link and save after this a copy of the .indd. Then the review link is deleted and you have to generate it again. This new link is different from the first one.

    I think The review link for the original file should stay the same after saving a copy.

17. Collaborating on translating

    Hi everyone! First I have to say I love all the new features that are slowly being integrated into InDesign. But in all my honesty I really miss one..

    We now can enjoy Share for review which I really love on getting comments from my clients. But what I would love to have is a online tool where my colleagues can enter translation for the file I worked on. Now I export files to pdf and make them in to a word file but that workflow takes a lot of time.

    I know tools like redokun.com but they are expensive and have limited page restriction for the smaller account.
    So like an online tool like share for review would be great for my colleagues that don't now how to use InDesign...

    With kind regards,
    Martin from the Netherlands!

18. Deprecated GPU renderer

    I found out today that indesign uses the OpenGL engine on Mac Mojave, despite the fact that Apple no longer supports the technology. Why? Can you fix it to improve Indesign GPU performance, and use it for raster more faster previews, effects like shadows and exports?

    Indesign 15.1.1 , running on Mojave 10.14.6

19. To add an option to add a customized numbering format.

    Is there the feature to add a customized numbering format? I do not think InDesign has thus I would like to request the feature. There are several languages in the world and their own alphabets. As there are already created numbering formats such as "a, b, c,...." that falls under English alphabets under 'Bullets and Numbering', there should be the feature to create such numbering format as per the alphabets of other languages too. Thanks.

20. Graphic/Image Gallery

    A gallery displaying all included graphics/ images. I use Adobe Bridge for this, but having it incorporated into InDesign would be snazzy.

    The feature would be very handy, if one has to pull out and rearrange a large number of graphics, to just drag them out from and then back in to the spread. If they are placed out on the pasteboard, I often 'lose' them and have to scroll up and down to find where they are 'parked'.

    I have had to drag all the graphics out
