  1. InDesign Scripting : Events On PageItems

    Many elements of the page have the ability to subscribe to messages (events of change of such an item are especially interesting), but this does not work. Does the event system work only for UI, Application, and Document?

    There are too few documents that describe events on page items ...

  2. Place the close button at the top of all pop up menus (rather than the bottom)

    When I open pop up menus in InDesign they are often larger than my screen (see attached pic), and as the close button is at the bottom of all menus, I am unable to click on the close button. I'm forced to change the resolution setting of my desktop in order to be able to view and access the close button, which is very annoying. A quick and easy fix would be to have the close button at the top of each menu instead.

  3. View tab> Select View Side by Side> Synchronous Scrolling

    Please add Synchronous Scrolling to Acrobat. We use PDFs to proof our InDesign documents. The Compare docs in Acrobat doesn't work because it eventually stop syncing and the pages are not side by side.

  4. We need much more comprehensive word/character counts functionality

    We need much better support for word counts than simply selecting some text or an active story and getting feedback on it through the info panel.

    As others suggest, we need support for Books, entire documents, I want to know how many words are in tables, footnotes, how many words are duplicated from master pages, give me a breakdown of words by style/font/colour so that I can use these parameters to easily subtract them from a count.

    Pretty much like Illustrator when nothing is selected can give you a breakdown of information document wide, and then specifics when you select…

  5. Include Page Slug

    I often have multiple sizes of graphics inside of one ID document and it would helpful to show the slug when sending a Share for Review link. I currently use the slug to identify and label each page (and size) and it would be nice to have that included for the reviewer to also identify each page/size.

    If the slug isn't the best way to accomplish this, it would be great to have a label on the review for the name of each page and size

  6. Option to set Paragraph border align to text frame edge

    In the paragraph border options we can set the top edge, bottom edge and width to text based parameters but it would be useful to be able to set these to align to the text frame edge.

    Especially useful when running multiple text frames up against one another in a loosely tabular format but when you don't actually want to be bound by the restrictions of a table.

  7. Fix 'manual bookmark' position

    I'd love the ability to fix the position of a manually created bookmark in relation to all the TOC bookmarks which are all in the same panel, so that they don't shift around every single time you update the TOC. It is frustrating to have to move them around in a 80+ page document.

    Alternatively, would love to be able to easily stop a specific bookmark from appearing in the automated TOC but allowing it to appear in the interactive PDF.

    Finally, I'd love the bookmark palette or interface to be bigger, it's a little painstaking to try to drag…

  8. More space for document name when saving

    When saving a file, the "save" or "save as" space for giving a name to a document is often too small, as it only fits about 32 characters. 64 characters would be a nice number, so every name would fit without having to scroll.

    In our production flow, we have to name our documents with the client number, the project name, the type of visual, the size, the language and, when it's ready to print, the number of copies. Our documents are often between 30 and 50 character long.

  9. CC Libreries

    Sería estupendo contar con un sector de búsqueda por texto dentro de la ventana CC LIbraries para archivos y elementos subidos. Cuando guardo archivos le pongo un nombre por ejemplo: Logotipo de piscina 01. Entonces, me es más práctico buscar por nombre ya que la ventana tiene miniaturas demasiado pequeñas.


    It would be great to have a search placeholder within the CC Libraries window for files and uploaded items. When I save files I give it a name, for example: Pool logo 01. So, it is more practical for me to search by name because CC librarines has small
    thumbnails

  11. rotate canvas in InDesign

    It would be great in the next version on InDesign if they included a rotate canvas function like in Photoshop. I use that function so much when I need the right angle to do my work.

  13. Keep things in the grey area from moving

    When I put objects in the grey area of the workspace or use a guidelines across a spread and then add pages before it all moves. There is a reason that i've put guidelines on a certain page and objects next to a certain page, I might need them again and I certainly don't want them to be moved all over the place whenever i add pages.

  16. Add an x to close out a color theme box easily like other panels

    Make it easier to close out the color theme box after using the color theme eye dropper tool. Currently, you have to reselect the color theme tool in the toolbar and press esc, which is not at all obvious, simple, or easy to remember.

  17. Request to have InDesign Server added to our Admin portal for downloading and user management

    NOAA has one Admin portal where we access all licensed software. I am writing to request that access be provided to download this software. We are licensed for one copy and Anthony Johnson is the licensed user (anthony.johnson@noaa.gov). Have to go to the LWS site to grab it and the serial number is counter to where I thought Adobe was going with all of its software. Proof of ownership is attached. -Mike

  18. Display document size

    Similar to photoshop, It would be very useful if you could see your document size on the bottom of InDesign next to the Horizontal Scrollbar.

  19. color limitation in underline text

    When I want to have a color in the background of a text (but not the whole block, only the text), I use character style, underline option with strength and negative offset. For the color I can only choose a few others are not available. It would be nice to be able to choose any color. Any example can be found in the attached file. There I would want to have the yellow color in the dark blue color of the logo.

  20. Text selection does not work properly with inline images

    Actual result: If you place an inline image in the paragraph and the height of the image is higher than one line of text, the text selection does not work properly: the height of the highlighted area is equal to the height of the inline image (in the attached sample three lines).
    Expected result: the highlighted area should only appear around the selected expression, not two lines below it.
