    Is it possible to add the ability to start a new section to a paragraph style so that when adding or removing text the beginning of the section is shifted to the desired page?

  2. Support "Go-to-Page Button" interactivity in a PDF

    It would be nice to create a BUTTON that links to another page in the document (PDF).

    Don't quite understand why this type of button interactivity is "dropped" in the first place.

  4. Clipping masks with varied transparency

    The ability to apply an image as a clipping mask to another image from within InDesign instead of needing to rely on other software like Photoshop would be really helpful.

    I have hundreds of pages that need editing together with 1 - 3 images per page. Each of these images needs a png applied to them as a clipping mask with the text positioned around them. Currently the only way to do this in InDesign is to import something like a .psd file that you can't make live edits on. Constantly flicking between different software to get the layout right…

  5. Have a Dropdown arrow in the middle of Control/any Panel in Indesign So when the Mouse is Hoverd/Clicked on it The Menu/Options show up

    I like the Properties Panel idea And Hiding the Control Bars on top to maybe look less daunting to newcomers but What if It has a DropDown arrow. A small panel tucked inside on top of Indesign while having a dropdown arrow in the middle so when the mouse is clicked/hovered on top it falls down occupying the same amt of space. Can also be used on every other Panel the Right one as well. Just Hover the Mouse to the extreme Right and the Panel shows up and when not more viewing space for the file. I m not…

  6. Stop hiding the known issues, and release notes for each release

    Where's the link that leads to the latest releases known issues list? It's hard enough to find the release notes for the newest version release.

    It should be a simple link right under the is this compatible with your computer info in The creative cloud desktop app.

    I need the list of known issues with the latest release to determine whether or not I'm going to upgrade to it or wait until a critical issue is resolved.

    Sometimes an issue will not be in the feature I use so I will update other times it is something that will majorly…

  8. Control the limit of up and download speed for Creative Cloud sync

    Today you can not control the sync speed for Creative cloud on an actual speed like 10Mb/s or similar its more like Fast, Medium, Slow. on cooperate networks its better to set a fix max limit so not one user slows down the whole network GW. It would be great if this value could be set when creating the package in admin console

  9. Decide what folder that will be synced in creative cloud

    Since we can have really big data storage in the creative cloud today I miss the function to choose what folders/projects I need on my local device that has less amount of storage than my cloud license. So I suggest a function Microsoft OneDrive have like "free up space" that removes the local copy. Most cooperate computers don have 1Tb disks so today with shared folders you can fill your disk quick and you cant control it in a good way.

  10. Auto resize table when adding/removing column

    Toggle an option so that when adding or removing a column in a table the column widths are restored to the total width. Now when adding or removing a column i have to manualy resize the columns until i can use 'Distribute Columns Evenly' and fill up the entire textbox again.

    It also would be useful to just click 'auto resize' to equaly fill up the textbox by resizing the table.

  12. PDF comments: Import, respect, and filter against comment colors in InDesign

    Please make all of this available in InDesign:

    – Show the comment colored in InDesign as it is in Acrobat.

    – Let us filter against comment color in InDesign as it is possible in Acrobat.

    By default Acrobat comments use different colors. Furthermore the Acrobat user can choose any color for a specific comment or redefine the color for a comment type as he likes to.
    In Acrobat I can even filter all comments by comment color.
    This is quite useful, as it gives the user a good way to distinguish e.g. between typo corrections, grammatical corrections, and other types.…

  13. Incompatible 100% view between Indesign and Illustrator to Photoshop in Versions 2020

    When I set object dimensions or text sizes in Indesign / Illustrator, 100% view shows larger-sized objects (in pixels) that do not match the actual dimensions as apears in a screen-shot. Meaning: There is a difference in 100% view between Indesign and Illustrator to Photoshop. This makes it difficult to design for web in Indesign/Illustrator. This issue did not exist in earlier versions such as CS5.5.

  14. Allow using existing folder path for cloud sync

    currently there is no option to choose existing folders i want to backup \sync to the cloud
    so this makes the idea of sync useless for me, since if i would change my existing projects folder paths it would break things up in my projects files links

    curretly adobe forces the user to use their folder (under any path) and place the files there

    very poor workflow !

  15. page numbering

    numbering of the pages can be started from a specific number but will remain in Ascending order, could you add option of numbering but in Descending order ?
    seems unusual but I am planning to make a book which you can read from both ends. thanks Tom

  16. Make XML tags and attributes export as "hidden text" in Word so that it can be reimported

    Enable XML structure export to Word by formatting the exported tags and attributes in the same way that index entries are formatted. I need to preserve the XML when exporting to Word and then reimporting the updated Word file.

  17. Make possible search-for-tags in Story Editor

    I need to search for tags in Story Editor, or in any manner besides the Structure panel, to remove conditions that are arbitrarily applied by InDesign (when a word has a condition applied).

  18. PDF preset that includes a stored password

    When making PDFs, I'd like a way to make a preset that includes a stored password. When you have to make many PDFs with security, it's very time consuming to enter the same info over and over.
