Font retirement notifications in app
Really need to start giving us more warning about fonts being retired from fonts.adobe.com. Only having those notifications live on the website is useless - it should be optionally flagged whenever you open a document that's going to be affected.
I mean, ideally, sign generous enough long term deals that they don't disappear off the platform and induce no end of headaches but at least warn us in context!

Single Page Send for Review
Very excited for the Send for Review feature. We've been using Acrobat to do this, so having it baked into is a game changer. Is there a way to review the document as single pages instead of spreads? It helps our writers and copy editors read easier with single pages. Thank you for your help!

Allow users to create a shortcut for a paragraph style including "apply next style"
You can add a shortcut to each paragraph style. If you apply it to several paragraphs they will all be in this style although you may have insert a "next style" to apply.
So it would be great to have the opportunity for 2 shortcuts:
– the way it's used to be
– for applying the style plus next style5 votes -
export to after effects layers
would be great for workflow if it would be possible to import indesign into after effects like photoshop or illustrator files.

Export all data from the Links folder to Excel/.csv format
Please, please, please make the entire Links panel exportable to an Excel (or .csv) file. I just spent five hours capturing all information for hundreds of placed images ONE AT A TIME. How nice it would be to be able to export the entire contents of the Links panel with one click. I know that it is do-able.
Thank you!

Please include "Convert Shape" in the Object Style Options
I'd like to quickly convert my rectangular photos into circular photos. On top of that, I want the circular photos to have a circular text wrap that works.
Currently the work-around is to change the Corner Options to create rounded corners big enough to become a circle shape, but then the text wrap (Wrap around Object Shape mode) is still wrapping around the 90 degree bounding box.

Multi Select Words within text
A feature long missing is the ability to select non continuous words within a text block. It seems like such an obvious need to me.
Ie in the above text, I want to format the words - long, select, such and me - to be inbound or a different size, or caps. Unless I am mistaken, this would need to be done individually. Just like you can easily do in WORD!!!!!

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.

PDF progress
Hi When exporting to PDF, would it be possible in the next available version to put a percentage figure in the top left of the toolbar (next the the pdf bars). This would save having to open the background panel to see the progress of the PDF creation. Thanks from an inpatient designer. H

Recent document list remembers templates
The recent documents feature (File > Open Recent > [list of recent files]) seems to be based on files saved, not files opened. If I open a template if does not get added to the recent files. I might open the same template five times a day, but it never appears in the Open Recent list. This should be corrected or an option to include recent templates added in Preferences > File Handling. See example.

Please add an interactive box for images + option to set font color for interactive text boxes
I recently started to make interactive PDF forms in InDesign (which is a great tool!), but I was surprised to find out that:
- you cannot add an interactive box for images
- you cannot set color to the assigned font in interactive text boxes...
Seems like some basic functions like this are still missing in InDesign, so it would be greatly appreciated if you could add it to your to-do list.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Using Unicode Indic Devnagri Script Font for Automatic Page Numbering & Numbered Lists / Paragraphs,
Hello Team, I am from India, and obviously we have to work majority of the times with Unicode Devnagri Script Fonts, (I prefer to use the Adobe Devnagri Unicode standard fonts )
Then Major problem / issue while using Automatic Page Numbering & Numbered Lists / Paragraphs, is even though we apply the Devanagari script on the Page Number on Master Pages, the auto numbering still shows the ENGLISH Script in the same font, the same goes for the Numbered Lists
And it looks very odd when we have a List Typed in Devnagari script but its numbered in English…

Detect metric system and offer A4, millimeters
It's pretty simple to detect the user country via the OS, so it would be very handy to start indesign with A4 and millimeter units, instead of letter and inches.
Currently, having a fresh install of inDesign, the default page size is letter. To start a new document with A4 is cumbersome. Not good at all, considering that the biggest part of the world uses the metric system and A-sized pages.
Forcing imperial units has no benefits at all, it only annoys the users outside US and Canada.

Color-code GREP styles
Hello, InDesign team.
Please consider allowing users to assign a color to each GREP style, which would be applied as a highlight to text affected by the style. The highlight would, of course, be on-screen only, like the existing highlights for composition problems etc. This would be a quick way to ensure that the style is matching the correct text, without doing what I do now (which is to manually add a color highlight into the definition of each GREP style and then remove them later). Especially helpful for GREP styles whose effect is subtle. Characters affected by multiple GREP…

next page doesn't work
Hi there,
When inserting Type=>Special Characters=>Marker=>Next page InDesign inserts the CM marker which is the current page. Consequently where I need the next page number to appear it displays the current page number.
Kind regards
Mike Howell5 votesThe text frame containing the Next Page Number Marker has to just touch the text frame and the correct page number gets picked. No need to link the text frames together. Just the fact that it touches the text frame will make it automatically pick the correct next page number that the text flows to in the document.
Hope that helps.

Could you please add support for 3dconnexion space mouse?
Could you please add support for 3dconnexion space mouse? It would be great to use their mouse for paning, zooming and scrolling.
I've contacted the people behind 3dconnexion and they told me that support for an application (Indesign) is determined by the application developer rather than by 3dconnexion. They have an SDK which you could use to integrate support for the space mouse in Indesign.
Thank you if you would consider this.Kind Regards,
