INDD and Clarivate EndNotes
Is there a way to import a Word document that has citations from Clarivate EndNote into InDesign that also imports the anchored text links? Right now, I have to create anchored hyperlinks for each citation and reference within InDesign. Layout would be much faster if they came in already linked.

Allow interactive elements when exporting print pdf.
If anyone needs to create a template with bleeds and crops that can be filled out by another party and sent to print, they have to use PDF form fields which doesn't have a paste in place feature so the elements aren't shifting around a page. Also, if I have to make edits to the InDesign pdf, I have to copy, paste and rearrange the form elements over again.

Baseline Grid Grab and Drag
I would love to be able to grab the bottom-most visible like of the baseline grid and drag it to a hight of my choosing. All of the other lines in the baseline grid should move at their own rate as to keep the space between them equal at all times.

Show colour settings for new documents
Hi there.
Please add a drop down menu to choose colour intent when making new documents. By default, print presets are CMYK in colour profile and transparency blend space. Web is RGB for both.
I use Print presets all the time for new documents. But I want those page sizes in RGB colour mode and blend space.
It would be informative to the user to have the colour settings of any document or template shown and user selectable when they are setting up a new document.
See attached pic

Hyperlinks checked by default option
The problem: I have a document. I go to Files --> Export as PDF --> In this window I can check the box saying "Hyperlinks". It's always unchecked. I want it to ALWAYS be checked by default.

set variable horizontal alignement in tables
Hi,
there's a feature that surprisingly doesn't exist in indesign.
It is impossible to set the horizontal alignement of the first column of table like in word.. The problem is that I have to set it only in paragraph style (right align of text) and force the paragraphs in the first column to be left aligned AND each time I change the paragraph style (what can happens a lot with some clients), the paragraph in the first column is set back to right align.
We should be able to set the alignement of the first column directly in table style…

Enable easy switching between Roman, right to left & Japense feature sets
InDesign can be set to either Roman, right to left & Japense feature sets at time of installation.
Multilingual designers often have to work across multiple languages that range across reature sets.
I suggested to include an option in the settings that easily switches between these feature sets. This information is stored in the Windows Registry and in the applicationpreference.plist file on macOS so hopefully would be relatively easy to implement.

Adding interactivity for Windows 10
Interactivity is not yet available for Digital Publishing on Windows 10 OS. Until it does, it would be great if inDesign had a panel where you could write code to create hyperlink and button navigation.

The ability to apply L tags and Li to one paragraph style or as a nested tag
When creating accessible pdfs you can apply tags which is great but when you apply list tags it would be good to able able to apply the overall L tag by either adding to the style itself or give the ability to nest the Li tag

Smarter Link Finding
It would be great if InDesign used a bit of automated searching or AI to search for missing links. InDesign should be able to look for missing links and suggest them if a file with matching file name and metadata exists in the same folder, or set of folders as the working document. It would be fantastic if InDesign kept track of link metadata and automatically compared it to the OS-level indexing (like Spotlight) to automatically suggest the location of a missing link.

PDF of thumbnails from Print Dialog box
I'd like to send a PDF of my 3x3 thumbnails for a client instead of printing out or sending a PDF of individual digital ads. My print dialog box says Not Supported when I try to create a PDFs.
Seems like a simple fix. Anyone else?

Switch between multiple links created for one project
If you need to create multiple links for one layout, for example one for internal review and one for the client - how can you switch back and forth between them directly from the Share for Review panel in InDesign? Can it really be that if you create a new link (for whatever reason) you can never go back and update a link that has already been created?

automatic numbering according to the position in the dokument
The automatic numbering by means of a list should have the following function:
Numbering according to position in the document
That means for example, the numbering is done in ascending order from top to bottom and from left to right.
At the moment the numbering only follows in the order in which it was inserted. This is very inflexible, especially when adding images with associated numbered labels.1 vote
