  2. Option to rotate all the contents of the multiple pages

    Imagine, you are doing a big document in vertical orientation and its a lot of pages and then client ask that he wants to have it in horizontal instead. Without this function the process will take so much time it is painful to imagine!
    The option is fairly simple and already there is a rotation page view exist just one step forward and it can be improved!

    Thank you for your attention.

  3. Larger preview window on Place image dialog box

    When picking images in a multi-page document from a PDF or Adobe Illustrator files, it would be nice to see a preview size bigger than the 125x125-ish window that is used in the dialog box. Thanks!

  5. Option to tint pasteboard ...

    Match pasteboard to theme is fine, but it would be helpful to be able to tint the pasteboard.

  6. This is not so much an idea as a request to go back to the way fonts were previously displayed

    If i select a font then change my mind the menu goes back to A, rather than going back to where the font is in the list, so i must scroll through the fonts again before i get back to where I was. I see no advantage to having it any other way. Adding recent fonts ids not of much use. I work in a national newspaper, and everyone complains about this feature. Thanks. Angelo

  7. MAKE PACKAGE FEATURE USE ORIGINAL LOCATION AS ITS ROOT.

    I would like the PACKAGE feature to default to the ORIGINAL location of the file. Rather than having to hunt around when I chose PACKAGE. I have many projects to package, and often when i choose PACKAGE FILES it will default to some previously-referenced folder—often completely different folder/location. Its a nuisance. Causes issues.

  8. View Verso/Recto Page as Transparent Overlay

    Include within View > Extras an option to turn on a transparent and mirrored overlay of the other side of a given page in a book. Allow for customization of transparency and color. Provides a quick way to check the baseline grid is properly aligned and that there wont be conflict with elements on previous page.

  9. Custom Font Categories

    I have several types of fonts in my personal collection that would like to group into custom categories for easy access. For example, Retro, Holiday, Customer Name, etc. It would be nice to access them where indicated in the screenshot. " "Favorites" is fine, and "Font Filtering" works too, but would it be possible to have a handful of custom groupings available?

  10. Copy/Paste text formatting

    It would be nice to be able to copy and paste formatting from/to text like you can copy and paste settings from one photo to the next in Lightroom. This way you would not have to create styles for every formatting choice that repeats.

  11. Embed file option while placing the image in the page

    Many-a-times after placing a Image, we need to Embed that as we don't want that to stay connected to the source.
    That's why what we want is that before placing a Image, there should be a Link/Embed Option as there is in Illustrator so that I do not have to manually go to Links Panel and Embed it from there for every single Image. It will faster the work process

  14. Set asset path base location in preferences

    Allow the user to set the base relative path location in preferences instead of having them set to absolute all the time. This will allow complete folder structures within Create Cloud Folders to be shared to other user without all the assets link breaking all the time and will avoid the need to send packaged files all the time.

  15. Please fix the tab export issue in EPUB format! We're paying for a program that promises print AND flowable epubs but getting only half.

    I'm incredibly unhappy about paying so much money out of pocket for a program that does only half of what it promises. It promises print and ebook exports. Print works fine. Epub does not export tabs, indents, or line spacing. I've had your techs work on the program with a program file of mine after I showed them my work flow, and they took two weeks and couldn't do it. I did everything right, even according to them. Their solution was to have me get another program to do the job Adobe InDesign promises it will do but does not…

  16. Can we get text to go along with the video tutorials?

    Videos can be useful, but we can read text MUCH faster than listening to a video. And we can easily refer to text where we can't in a video.

    Please just supply the same learning in text form as well.

  17. Repeat Table header?Skip the first row of the first table instead of the whole header of the first page

    Duplicate header, there is an error.

    Can I skip the first line of the header instead of the whole header.

    What's the point of skipping the whole header on the first page?

    My header has two lines. I skip the first line on the first page, which is more useful. How to operate?

    David Blatner used a method, helpless, no real perfect solution.

    Adobe needs to improve.

  18. Caption setting: Why paragraph style, not object style?

    Caption setting: Why paragraph style, not object style?

    Its "displacement" is not very easy to use, I generally still need object style to control the caption.

    If you can use object styles directly, it's easy? Because object styles can call paragraph styles, there are more settings.

    I hope Adobe will pay attention to this problem.

  19. Allow login from multiple adobe accounts on the same machine at the same time.

    My job pays for InDesign and I pay for Photoshop/Lightroom. The fact that I cannot just have both logins running at the same time is insane. I have started paying for InDesign personally because it was just easier.

  20. PLEASE TURN OFF the 'Type 3 fonts no longer supported after 2023" message

    PLEASE TURN OFF the 'Type 3 fonts no longer supported after 2023" message, it is very annoying for the many legacy documents I must work on. YES I know! That is two years away and there seems to be no way to make the blue bar go away.
