  3. Fix "Analytics" on Publish Online

    The company I work for creates ebooks and then updates it by request of the clients. The links can't be changed as people use them in their communication so we have to update the ebooks instead of uploading new ones. By doing this we're unfortunately resetting all the analytics for the ebook. Trying to get the analytics with a delay of "approximately 90 minutes" is a joke in itself. So if I need to update a document I can't wait 90 minutes to eventually see the analytics and then save them somewhere. I suggest fixing this and turning it into…

  4. Make "Find/Change" Queries Easier to Organize and Edit!!

    Find/Change Queries are a nightmare to organize, edit, and delete.

    PLEASE add basic edit functions while viewing drop-down list of Queries.

    Better yet, allow Queries to be saved like INDD Libraries that are Project Specific and can be shared!

  5. Alignment of anchor points is a really important feature

    In many many situations - when working with lines, shapes or boxes - being able to align and distribute anchor points is needed. Having to do this in Illustrator and then bring it back to InDesign is not ideal, it makes small adjustments or corrections arduous and time consuming.

  6. Favourite viewing size.

    I work with the same size documents and need to see them enlarged (eg 250% is perfect) and also full page. I am constantly going from cmd 0 then typing in 250% into the size box at the BL corner then back to cmd 0.
    Is it possible to get some toggle or previous view (like acrobat pro) method that goes back a forth between two viewing sizes.

  7. Option to ignore the non breaking space and thin space of the font

    Many fonts created by English-speaking designers are poorly adapted to French typesetting in terms of the width of the non-breaking space and/or the thin space. It should be possible to ignore these spaces and use InDesign's default spaces.

  8. Style shortcuts letters and numbers together

    It will be very useful to use the style shortcuts as "ctrl + alt + **** + a + 1".
    In its current form, it is no longer sufficient. Thanks, bg.

  10. "Select All Unused Stroke Styles" option for stroke style deletion

    Give us an option to "select all unused Stroke Styles" so that we can delete them. This feature is already offered in other panels: object styles, paragraph styles, colors. Currently there is no way to clean up stroke styles without selecting each individual stroke to see which stroke style is applied. selecting all unused stroke styles and deleting them all at once would save a tremendous amount of time, cause less confusion when applying styles, and help keep things tidy. Thank you.

  11. What are the causes of Quickbooks error code 15241 ?

    There might be one or more of the following reasons behind the occurrence of QuickBooks Error 15241:

    1. The File Copy Service (FCS) in QuickBooks Desktop is turned off. This service is critical for the QB application's and payroll service's functions.
    2. The downloaded file was tampered with in some way.
    3. Alternatively, if the QuickBooks installation was not completed correctly.
    4. If the windows registry files were corrupted as a result of installing QuickBooks, the identical problem would appear.
    5. One such explanation could be a Trojan assault.
    6. In the event that some QuickBooks-related vital files are accidentally erased
    7. If your anti-virus application is…

  12. Highlight text in preview only

    InDesign is often used for templates. It would be really cool if we could highlight text so that it's ONLY highlight in preview mode (W) and the highlight doesn't show in print, PDF etc. That way we can highlight the areas to change each time we edit a template but the highlight doesn't get printed.

  13. Finding Clipboard Contents Formatted and Unformatted

    Indesign has the feature of replacing any text with clipboard contents formated and unformatted ^C and ^c. This is very useful but this same feature is not present under find > other

    This is needed because for eg. we can find a wrongly rendered conjunct in the text and replace it throughout the file by copying the glyph. Later when we need to export the text to word or html, we have to replace the glyph with the wrongly rendered character. This is where InDesign does not presently have the option.

    I am sure it will be simple for the…

    We use notes to communicate between editors, designers, and compositors. It would be great if you could filter or sort notes by the user.

  15. Changes to the tab order interface - make it work like layers pallet

    It would be great if the tab order box that allows you to reorder their order could function like the layer pallet - allowing you to simply drag the order up and down as required while the document remains active.

    This would allow complex interactive pdfs to have fields added and reordered with ease.

  19. The ability to translate file from right to left language to english

    I would love to have the option to “translate” a document form a right to left languages to English.
    Also the ability to change a document settings to English after some or all work is done.
    I tried to do this kind of things on my project the file started to work very slow, not able to work slow.
    Thank you!!

  20. Footnotes: ability to cite multiple references to a footnote, with appropriate tagging for accessibility

    Each new instance of a footnote added in InDesign gets a sequential number – but authors and copywriters expect to be able to insert multiple references to the same numbered footnote. For example, a bank might want to put a single asterisk against multiple references to ‘interest rate’, with one corresponding footnote at the end to explain what 'APR', or 'EAR' means. So I’d like a new feature to be added that would, at the point of inserting a footnote, give the option to cite an existing one that’s already in the document. In an exported accessible PDF, there would be…
