1. location included on recents page

   i would like to see the path/location listed with the file name on the recents page of all adobe programs. i often save a document with the same name to an external drive and when i next open my recents page, i might open the backup copy by mistake. i wouldn't do this if i could easily see the location of my files. office 365 does this on all its programs and it is really helpful. thanks.

2. Include Page Slug

   I often have multiple sizes of graphics inside of one ID document and it would helpful to show the slug when sending a Share for Review link. I currently use the slug to identify and label each page (and size) and it would be nice to have that included for the reviewer to also identify each page/size.

   If the slug isn't the best way to accomplish this, it would be great to have a label on the review for the name of each page and size

3. Custom page attributes to use as text variables

   It would be very helpful to have an option to add specific attributes to pages, such as a name, category, and labels.
   I would then like to use these attributes as text variables.
   Right now the only text variable you can define from the page window is Section Marker.

   Also, it would be very helpful if the categorization would be also visual in the pages window.

4. Please add this function: Insert Special Character > Markers > Last page

   This would add the ability to insert a 'Page A of Z' (Z being the last page in the document) on the masterpage. So a page would show 'Page 7 of 24'.
   Today I can put 'Page A of 24' in the master, but if the number of pages change I have to change the number manually and it seems this would be easily implemented?

   Please :)

5. UI – Some Buttons are missing InDesign CC 2020 (OS X)

   Hello,

   I’ve updated InDesign to the newest version 15.0 (InDesign CC 2020) on OS X.
   And some buttons in the top window border are missing like the percent and the GPU rocket.

   Is it possible to put these back?! Or do I have to change it anywhere in the menu? Can’t find it.

   Best
   Sascha

   The InDesign team appreciates your valuable feedback and concerns. These go a long way in helping us make InDesign better for you and update it continuously to cater to evolving user needs. The app bar design was changed as part of these improvement efforts, and will also help us in introducing some modern and exciting functionalities which we have been working on.

   While doing this, we have taken care not to remove any existing functionalities which were available in the previous App Bar design. These have only been relocated – either grouped along with similar functionalities (based on results from our user research) or shifted to improve usability (to provide a consistent experience) while working across Creative Cloud apps, especially Photoshop (Ps) & Illustrator (Ai), which are frequently used by InDesign users. We do understand that it takes time & effort in adopting these but we sincerely hope that the value will reveal itself as we work together with you in defining the future of layout & publishing.

   __

   Here is a list of the re-located functionalities -

   Bridge: can now be accessed via “File > Browse in Bridge” – similar to Ps & Ai.
   Stock: the search option in the app bar (on the far right) allows you to search assets across Adobe Stock. Stock can also be accessed via “File > Search Adobe Stock”.
   GPU options: can now be accessed via “InDesign > Preferences > GPU Performance …” – similar to Ps & Ai.
   Zoom levels: are now available at the bottom left of the App window.
   Document Bar (on the far left) – similar to Ps & Ai. This location is same as what was available in past versions when users used InDesign without the app bar. Zoom levels can also be controlled through keyboard shortcuts: (Cmd +) or (Cmd -) to help you work faster.
   Screen Mode: has now shifted below the Tool Bar (bottom-most icon). It can also be accessed via “View > Screen Mode” – similar to Ps & Ai.
   View Options: is now available in proximity to the Screen Mode icon (below the Tool Bar), owing to the similarity of their functions. The drop-down menu showcases corresponding shortcuts for each view option which can enable you to work faster.
   Arrange Documents: can now be accessed via “Window > Arrange” – similar to Ps & Ai.

6. Change the font size of the page information when printing out a page. This is too small at 6 pt.

   We do thousands of imprints that have all the job number, customer PO and imprint info on the file name. We are converting from qk to indesign. Quark 's title page information uses much larger font and is at the top of the page when printed out which is much more convenient.

   We want to be able to identify the document quickly!

7. Provide an option to update a workspace.

   If I make a change in my workspace, I must go here:

   Window menu > Workspace > New Workspace...

   and enter the name of the workspace I'm altering.

   Then I click OK and am presented with a dialog that says,

   "A workspace with that name already exists. Do you want to replace it?"

   An option like the following would be quite helpful.

   Window menu > Workspace > Update Workspace

   Or, if you prefer, make the name of the option Update Current Workspace.

   Thanks for considering this idea.

8. set individual pages as non-numbered in books

   I use the book feature for many, if not most of the documents that I create. Each individual InDesign document included within the book is a new chapter. Because the majority of my clients request printed copies of the documents I create, I usually create customized tab pages that precede each chapter, so that the end user can easily find a specific section. These tabs are printed on card stock instead of the standard bond paper that is used for the content of the document.

   The majority of my documents require page numbers, and so I use the feature where the page numbering is continued from the previous document within the book file.

   It makes sense to be able to create a tab as a single page within each individual chapter page. However, when the tab page is included in each chapter, that tab page is counted as a page and given a page number, as if it was just another page within the body of the document.

   So, now I create a separate document for all of the tabs, and when I have to manually relocate all of the tabs into their proper location when I export to a PDF, or have to provide very specific instructions to my printer when having the document printed and bound.

   It would be ideal if there was a setting at the Master Page level that allowed me to designate certain page types as not to be included in automatic page numbering.

9. When choosing to link a button to a page, remove hard coding of links to a page even if it gets moved.

   I have discovered an "error" or possible limitation of an existing feature when linking to pages through buttons.

   For example, I set a button to go to page 9. Later I drug that content to a new location in the document (page 2), thus changing it's page number. However, the button no longer went to the content that was now on page 9, it jumped to the content that was original there when I set that button.

   Can we have the set page number option just link to the current page even if content was moved around after setting up a button.

10. Detect a change in size of linked multi page PDF files

    It would be great if ID could see if a placed PDF file changed number of pages. I often place multi page PDFs (financial documents) that span 1-20 pages and are updated/change number of pages as financial data updates. Currently it is a manual process to check the links panel for duplicate (page x) or visually look at the document to see if the total line is not there. These are 500+ page documents, so it takes forever sometimes!

11. Page jump links

    Hi! Just finished a document for a client. I had to export it to pdf and create all the page jump links in Acrobat. InDesign wouldn't let me keep the links I created when exporting to pdf. Hyperlinks, yes they work great. Page jump links for documents? We NEED this for client brochures, flipping books etc. I will be giving this artwork to the InHouse team so it's very clunky to have to give them the Packaged InDesign file and a pdf that contains all the selected areas that link to page jumps. I beg of you please for the next update! Thanking you kindly!

12. Data merge: Classification Master pages

    Es solle möglich sein, über die Datentabelle für jeden Datensatz eine Musterseite zuordnen zu können. Ähnlich wie QR-Code und Images bekommt die Spalte ein Sonderzeichen, in der die Bezeichnung der Musterseite steht.
    Nach der Datenzusammenführung hat dann jeder Datensatz die entsprechende Musterseite.
    Translation google: It should be possible to assign a sample page for each data record via the data table. Similar to QR code and images, the column is given a special character in which the name of the sample page is written.
    After the data merging, each data record then has the corresponding master page.

13. Make it easier to find the option for 4-page spreads.

    The User Guide needs to include information about creating 4-page spreads. For book editing, seeing 8 pages at a time is great (on a larger monitor screen, which as a book publisher I use.). The Page function allows a 4-page spread, or more, when the user disables the Shuffle setting and drags and connects 4 pages together horizontally in the page view. Fine. I found this out on some non-Adobe graphic design forum by luck. This wasn't anywhere in the Adobe InDesign help or user information that I could find. Include this in the User Guide! Improve it so it's labeled better. We can then re-enable Shuffle, with a 4-page spread. I didn't reset my whole 150 page book because I would have to do so manually. Perhaps If I had made my first spread 4-pages, and then placed text automatically it would have created more pages in the 4-page spread view. If that isn't the case, can you offer this? This would great for books, as we can better cut and paste and look for repeated phrases, etc. when viewing two 4-page spreads, for a total of viewing 8 pages at time, instead of 4 pages at a time, the usual view.

14. Have the option to make page numbers as words (one, two, three).

    Make it possible to add page numbers as words (one, two, three) as opposed to just numbers and roman numerals.
    Also make it possible to integrate this with things such as the Table of Contents feature.

15. "Go back to a specific page"

    "Go back to a specific page" - meaning if I have text links in the file and move from page 10 to page 110, give me an easy way to return to where I came from. In this case, page 10. Like a back button navigating through webpages.

16. Grid Page View

    An option to view the pages within a single document in a grid layout, rather than just one continuous column of pages one below the other. It would be a valuable tool for designers that wish to view a lot of their pages at once, rather than having to continuously scroll up & down the many pages of an InDesign document.

18. Make an option for "freezing" document window during searches

    Currently, when executing a series of finds, a document with spreads will jump around within a window, even if view is set to "fit spread in window," as described in this post:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/searching-a-file-in-indesign-causes-the-spread-to-jump-all-over-the-place/m-p/11118210?page=1#M185629

    The expected behavior is that the page where the text is found should be centered on the page. That does not work with spreads. If panels are open on the side of the window, found text can frequently be hidden from view.

    So I believe there is a bug with the expected behavior. But it would be even better than the expected behavior if there were a way to make the "fit spread in window" view setting "stick" throughout operations like this, so that both pages of a spread stay in a static position and the cursor merely jumps around.

19. Scrollable text frame feature.

    Currently you have the option in the overlays panel, but it currently doesn't work. This is valuable for many design jobs where the client has to cull text to make the content fit into a specified page size. Particularly in PDF format, so if it's possible to make it work for all export formats, not just ePub and Publish online. Clients are still using PDFs so we need to make things work for them.

20. Non-Linear History and Undos - By page

    Much like paste, paste into, paste in place, undos should be able to have some added features. Photoshop has non-linear history, which feels confusing to undo a brush from 10 steps ago. However, InDesign would greatly benefit from current page specific history, undos, searching, text, edits etc.

    An example, my workflow for placing graphics and prepping captions in a document, is to do one task at a time page by page. I also use transform again individually to apply things like rotation to existing graphics, or frame fitting if I'm placing a graphic somewhere. When placing a graphic into an existing frame, I may advance to the next several pages to place the rest before reformatting everything. In order to review that I made the appropriate changes, I may need to undo 20 steps to see what happened, jumping around in the document as I undo.

    If each page were able to keep it's own history, each would function like a single document and be easy to see changes all at once. Search, edit locking(disabling keystrokes on non active pages), would also benefit from modifying InDesign documents incorrectly.
