1. Improve handling of long footnotes

   Handling of long footnotes could be improved in at least three ways:

   1. Sometimes a footnote absolutely cannot start on the same page as its reference either because the given footnote follows so closely behind a very long footnote (or a dense cluster of shorter footnotes). Presently, InDesign simply stops setting text at that point, as it would when a hits a word it cannot fit into any subsequent frame in the story. Ideally such footnotes would be not only be permitted but be custom-labelable—e.g. “(from p. 17)”—but for now simply permitting such footnotes, elegantly or not, would be a far less disruptive behavior.
   2. Presently very long footnotes will occupy all but one line of subsequent frames for as many frames as they require, and this often has the effect of making the one line of main text appear to be a heading for the footnote. It would be nice to be able to customize the amount of a text frame allocated to footnotes. This value could be set either as a minimum number of lines or a minimum percentage of the frame height reserved for the main text. (Fallback request: If customization isn’t easy to implement, changing the fixed minimum to 3 lines would be a huge improvement over 1 line.)
   3. Historically, long footnotes that continue onto a subsequent page have often been specifically labeled—e.g., “vii (cont’d)”—but InDesign does not presently support such labeling. It would be beneficial if there were an option to apply custom text applied to continued footnotes.

2. InDesign for iPad/Mac cross-compatibility

   The iPad Pro has the M1 chip now. Why not have InDesign for iPad? Now that iPads have the same hardware as Macs there's no reason not to have one app that works on both.

5. Slow publication analytics loading

   Most of time our analytics / statistics pop-up is VERY slow to load. Sometimes it doesn't load at all.

   Can it be speeded up. Is there a reason its slow?

   (PS I don't mean the 90 minute update lag, I mean any figures showing at all)

6. Rethinking pages with an infinite pasteboard and multi-user collaboration

   Let us bring InDesign into an open and more collaborative world.

   The individual pasteboard and contained page structure of InDesign are very constraining. It is time for a different approach to how we do page layout.

   Let us move to an infinite style pasteboard canvas (a la Illustrator, or Adobe XD, Figma) where your imagination can run wild! Think of it as a blown-up version of the Pages Panel with the same click-to, snap-to rearrange functionality, but without the extra layer of InDesign UI baggage.

   • Pages would function the same way with a left-to-right, top-to-bottom order, snapping layouts into the proper page arrangement.
   • A visual thread can bind groups of pages together to maintain pagination and order.
   • The same thread could double as the indicator of the document's spine for printed matter and the starting point for the measurement ruler.
   • Master Pages would be more like how they are presented in the Page Panel, prepending the pages, but could live contextually, presented only when prompted.

   With this addition, it would be amazing to (fingers crossed) bring collaborative editing into the fold. Opening up the pasteboard makes working with other contributors fun, effective, and overall time-saving. Teams can work in tandem to concept out a project, work on specific areas of the design between page layout, copy editing, artwork creation, and overseeing the creation from afar. If anyone has used Figma, you know how great collaborative features would be if brought to InDesign. Forget about cobbled together documents with varying pages, typographic and object styles, and separate applications like InCopy. No more lone star designers feeling the weight of impending deadlines because “there can only be one” person in the doc at a time.

   InDesign would also become a better educational tool, allowing instructors to showcase typographic concepts and demonstrate page layout.

   A different approach to how we view layout structure and design in InDesign's, plus the ability to work together in a single document would evolve InDesign into a more intuitive and productive software.

8. Adjust colours directly in the gradient panel

   In InDesign, I'd like the option to edit colours from directly in the gradient panel, as in Illustrator (double click to access colour slider)

   Having this feature added would greatly improve workflow - at the moment, I have to add colours to a swatch panel then drag them onto my gradient slider which becomes a very tedious process when making micro-adjustments.

9. Interactive features retained when PDFs placed in InDesign

   When PDFs are placed into an INDD layout, and then the layout is exported to a new PDF, all of the interactive features in the 1st (or source) PDF are removed:

   -- Hyperlinks in the source PDF
   -- Buttons in the source PDF
   -- Accessibility tags and functions in the source PDF

   It's as if the PDF is treated like a dead graphic. All of the interactive features built into it are lost and must be recreated manually in Acrobat.

   Two excellent examples of how disastrous this is for designers:

   1) When a magazine places a PDF of an advertiser's ad, the hyperlinks to the advertiser's website are lost and must be recreated manually in the final PDF. For a magazine with dozens or hundreds of ads, this is a helluva lotta labor to correct the URLs.

   2) When making accessible PDFs, a designer might place a PDF of the president's letter into the layout. The source PDF's text is accessible and tagged, but once the final PDF is exported, that's lost and the president's letter is a dead graphic. That type of item can't have Alt-text on it (Alt-text usually is limited to 200 characters). The real solution is for the letter to remain as live, tagged text in the final PDF.

   SERIOUS shortcoming in the InDesign-to-PDF workflow.

11. Ability to copy link name only from links panel, as additional option to 'copy platform style path' 'full user path' etc.

    I often copy links from one spread to another document and then need to search for the link on a a media archive for a client. It would be really helpful to be able to just copy the link name alone, through right clicking the link in the links panel (even better, without extension!) for searching purposes. This would also be helpful when searching your machine or a server for a missing link.

    The only time I use this function is when searching elsewhere for an image / link, and therefore need to use one of the existing options, and then delete the unecessary text either side of the link name.

    Thank you!

13. Hyphenation (H&J): Don’t break compound words except at hyphens

    Compound words should only be divided at existing hyphens when dividing words for line breaks.

    Example: “award-winner” should break only after “award-“ not as “award-win-ner”

    Other: “heart-stopping” can break after “heart-“ but never “heart-stop-ping”

15. stylistic alternates

    Please make it so that OpenType stylistic alternates can be accessed through paragraph and/or character styles. For instance, my OT font has an alternate form of capital W which I prefer to the default form. It is listed in the Glyphs panel as Stylistic Alternates (salt). However, there is no way to activate this alternate W without manually replacing all default capital Ws with the alternate form I prefer. And even when I do that, reapplying a Paragraph Style to any paragraph where I've changed the W will revert the W to the default. I would like to at least be able to create a GREP style which would automatically apply this stylistic alternate to every instance of "W".

17. Allow for selecting a set of Links for relinking, not just parent link or individual link

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/quot-how-may-i-select-multiple-links-for-re-linking/m-p/11682784?page=1#M407985

    Looking to perform "Select Multiple Link Replacement”

    Right now I can Re Link Parent Link (of ALL Instances) and change 1000 instances of an image.

    Right Now I can Relink ONE individual “Child” instance or ONE image at a time.

    But I cannot SELECT and RELINK Multiple Selected Links (example: 10 out of the 1000) SELECT instances of an image.

    The only way to presently do this is to highlight the 10 instances and then Relink them one by one where a dialogue box opens and requires me to repeat the link process and click OK all 10 times. This is a time suck and there must be a better way!

19. Add the ability to disable pages

    It would be great to be able to disable pages, similar to how you can disable elements in Premiere. A disabled page would keep it's content and place in the document, but would loose its page number and not be able to be edited until it's re-enabled.

    This would make it easier to manage pages that need to be removed from an export, but may still want to be re-added later on. It could also help in keeping clear what pages didn't require any more work, or have all their content confirmed.

    Thanks!
