1. Make PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keyboard keys maintain consistent position of page in the viewport

   If I click the little Previous/Next Page buttons at bottom left of screen, I can cycle through pages, and the position of the page within the window stays the same throughout the process. This is great and very helpful when flipping through a book quickly.

   But if hit PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN on the keyboard, it seems to SCROLL the document position up/down by some numerical value, with no regard to the position of the page being displayed.

   It would be logical and helpful if PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN had exactly the same effect as the PREVIOUS/NEXT page buttons. Then we could use those keyboard keys to quickly cycle through a document without the page position jumping all around.

2. More organization for CC Library files

   I love the idea of using CC Libraries, but we have multiple versions of our logo built for different scenarios. We have different size logos built for a range of book spines, different colors depending on background, and logotype versions for specific product lines. Right now, I'm creating shorthand in the name of each element to differentiate them, but having metadata or notes for each item would help a lot. I could see the note popping up when you hover over an item. Another solution would be customizable sections within each Library. That way I could organize the logos within the proper size section.

   Having the ability to organize Library files in a way that makes sense to an each individual organization would be a time saver.

3. Multi Export

   An export option that would allow the user to select multiple options for exporting their document, in one simple 'Multi-Export' option.

   An idea of how this would look could be in the 'Export' dialog box, the user would be able to check a box that would enable 'Multi Export'. This would mean you can choose multiple methods to export in one easy opportunity in the Dialog Box. An example of this would be;

   I, the designer or user of InDesign need to send a client a Medium Resolution copy of the file before we hit print, but I also want to export the Print Ready document straight away, along with a Web Quality version to go up on their website.
   This would enable a designer or whoever to export (for example) a Proof of a document to send to the client, PLUS a Print Ready Document, PLUS a Web Ready document as an example, all in one go so to speak.

   Please see attached document to fully visualise my idea.

   Thanks

5. InDesign Gradient Tool

   Please make the gradient tool in InDesign function the same as in Illustrator, it's fiddly, cumbersome and gives you nowhere near as much control. There's no reason for it not to function the way it does.

8. The option to remember PDF export settings on a document by document basis

   Currently InDesign remembers the PDF export settings across the program which is good but we have to export either print or interactive based on the file. It would be really useful to have the document itself remember the settings so we don't have to keep changing back - often forgetting and sending clients print PDFs where they should be interactive.

9. Rework Grid: Set Grid opacity, Add Grid to Document setting in stead of Preferences

   Grids are very usefull. But when those are In Front, it would be convenient if the opacity could be reduced. 100% opaque makes it hard to make design decisions when the grid is active.

   An old (Xpress legacy?) irregularity, is that Grid settings are part of Preferences, while these should be part of Document Setup.

   Grids belong to a document, not the application.

10. Add an option to rasterize chosen graphic objects on export (especially vectors)

    Often we have to work with vectors, and often they take up a lot of space, which leads to the growth of the final PDF document and the slow rendering of the document in browsers. The trick with reducing transparency, when we make the selected frames 99% opaque and turn on the flattener, does not always give a good quality result and can cause stitching.
    I suggest adding the option "rasterize" to the settings of the style of the graphic frame, so during the export the vector object is replaced with a raster copy. The quality settings for rasterization can be placed here, or taken on-the-fly from the export settings.

12. Live Preflight reporting a false error with OpenType Type 1 fonts

    InDesign's Live Preflight will wrongly flag an OpenType Type 1 (PostScript flavored) font as invalid when the font appears in a linked graphic.

    To recreate:
    1. Create an InDesign Preflight Profile
    2. Set it to flag Type 1 fonts as Font Type Not allowed.
    3. Create a new InDesign document.
    4. Add text using an OpenType Type 1 font.
    5. Turn on the preflight.
    The preflight will not signal an error. This is expected and correct.
    6. Now export a PDF of the document created.
    7. Create a new InDesign document.
    8. Place the PDF as a linked graphic into the new document.
    9. Turn on the preflight.
    The preflight will flag any OpenType Type 1 font as "Font not allowed". This is incorrect. The expectation is for it to signal no error.

13. Temporarily disable GREP styles

    I'm working on a long document that uses GREP Styles. the applied styles only change the colour of text, so they don’t affect the flow of text. But they sure do slow down the program. I would like to be able to disable the GREP Styles in the paragraph style to speed up the program. The only way to disable GREP Styles is to remove them from the style definition. I duplicated the style to keep a backup of my GREP expressions, but what would be better is a way to individually disable the styles while keeping the expression in the style definition.

    This could pair well with the Based On feature. I could make a paragraph style that contains many GREP expression then enable or disable them within the various child styles.

14. Continued table subheaders (and headers)

    1. Our main need is a way to specify "subheader" rows which will repeat after the main header at the top of each page. In the screenshot, "Bank of America" with gray shading and "Canadian region" are both examples of subheader categories which appeared previously in the table. We need them to continue to appear as a subheader row, underneath the main header, with an option to add text (in this example, "cont."). Note we need the ability to style the additional text.

    A GREP style which could be used on the subheader row would be even better, as sometimes the table does not include all of the subheader text in the continued row. An example: The original subheader might read "Bank of America NA ($54,890)" and the client wants the subheader continued row to only show up as "Bank of American NA cont." So a GREP look behind feature would be great.

    1. A secondary need for which we have a workaround…The main table header (in green in the screenshot) also needs "cont." added on subsequent ages. Our present workaround is to go ahead and include "cont." in the first table header, but under Table Options select Header, Repeat Header: Once Per Page and check "Skip First". On the first page of the table, we then insert a header row not defined as a header row. Not obvious, but it works.

    The continued subhead feature would be extremely valuable to us because we have tables which run dozens of pages long, as is the case with many users who work with long tables. Now, the subheader rows must be manually inserted at the top of each row. Although we have written scripts to do this, the problem is when the table is edited by rows being added or deleted. The manual subheader rows must then all be deleted and then re-added.

    Thanks for listening.

16. Turn off 'missing fonts' alert

    A setting (with no docs open) that says "don't alert me to missing fonts" when I open a doc. It would be just like the "don't ask me about missing links" setting - which we like in the studio. Because sometimes we need to check lots of docs for something (could be a house style thing, a find-replace thing, a colour check thing etc) but don't want to be 'font-alerted' at this stage. The warning seems too pedantic when we're nowhere near final production stages...

17. XML structures and footnotes/endnotes

    This is a point which was subject of lot of discussion since years in several forums. Even this uservoice mentions it (partly) sometime but obviously it hasn't been considered at all.
    In InDesign, a footnote can't contain xml structures.
    In InDesign, it is not possible to map an xml element to the footnote object.
    This is really weird, since:
    a) mapping XML element to an InDesign object is something exiting already for tables thanks to attribute aid:table. So why not having set an attribute aid:note, with values "footnote" and "endnote" and implementing this?
    b) footnotes and endnotes can contain by nature various content such lists, tables, references, etc. which are, in the scope of a XML publishing workflow, subject to specific tagging. In other words, allowing tags in these contents is really a must have. Again in table cells - which are a specific object too, xml tagging is allowed.

    That point plus the lack of management of mathml, is seriously blocking the use of InDesign in the scope of structured content workflow.
    Which is a pity since in the meantime Framemaker - done for structured content - has itself serious lack in its rendering capabilities.

18. Paragraph Borders and Shading - Keep in Frame

    I use a P Style for a Tip paragraph in my Quick Reference Cards (QRC). The Tip is typically one or two sentences, and has a light shading (light grey) with a top and bottom blue border. I use a similar style for Warnings, except I change the borders to red. Occasionally, the Tip/Warning falls at the top or bottom of a column, and the Border, and sometimes the Shading, lands outside the text frame.

    Can we have a "Keep in Frame" for Borders and Shading, similar to the one for P Rules? David Blatner had a great workaround when I reached out to him on Twitter; add a P Rule with 0pt, and the Color of None, add appropriate Offset, and turn on Keep in Frame. It works, but it's many steps, where a check box would be much quicker.

    Thanks!
