Change ID's file locating from absolute addresses to relative
When I change the name of my project folder, housing all of my ID and art/font folders, InDesign stops linking to the art folder. This is annoying. Is this happening because my art files are in a folder named something other than Links?

specify which document contains errors
if you have to open more then one indd file, and some of this files have missing or modify links you get just this simple message. But you dont know which document contains missing links. and if i will open 10 files at once, a have go thru all this files to find out which file have missing links. I know i can use book and run preflight, but that is to much of work :)
Can you just add name of the file in to this message box? Like picture 03?

Go to Source of Color
I would like to go to objects linked to a particular swatch; similar to how you list objects in the Links panel and go to them with the GoTo icon at the bottom. Might be too lengthy to list connected type, but would come in handy for vector objects.

Document info in Indesign hyperlinks
I am implementing a sort of voting system for articles in a magazine (readers can vote wether or not they like an article). This means I have to implement 3 (more if I want a more detailed system) links per article. It would be handy to be able to use document info in the links so I can use this as parameters. Things like "Filename" "Pagenumber" "Section name" would really make this process a lot easier. I could create one set of links with these "parameters" and copy it to any section/Page/document and none of the link…

Hej Jag råkade ut för ett problem vid packning för tryck.
När jag packade en bok med 300 bilder för tryck hämtade InDesign bildfiler från olika bildmappar och samlade till en Link-mapp.
Problemet blev när två bilder från två olika fotografer hade samma namn eg. sifferkod (IMG3061). Då lade InDesign till suffixet _1 så att den andra bilden döptes till (IMG30611). När detta gjordes gavs ingen varning att det skedde. Därför blev resultatet att i den efterföljande tryckfils-processen länkades bildfilen (IMG3061) upp på två ställen.
Så därför bör Adobe lägga upp en varning att den hämtat två bilder med samma namn och fråga om det stämmer.…1 vote -
Option to convert colours to process when importing links
I work with files from numerous territories, so sometimes I import vector logos or illustrations and they have spot colours included in them, either by accident or the other territory has used a spot colour and my client doesn't want to. Could we have a way that InDesign can show a warning when importing new assets so that I can decide whether to convert all colours to process before dropping into my document? Or maybe have an additional warning box that allows me to convert before I export to PDF? This would remove production errors and delays at printing stage…

Copy Info: File Name
Would love to see an option added in the 'Copy Info' dropdown in the links panel for copying only the filename.
Super handy for searching old drives for images in large catalogues or for relinking etc.

A Home Page for Publish Online Documents
Allow us to assign uploaded documents to a home page that would display several at once. And allow us to give it a human-readable address. That'd make linking to these documents easier.

Retain hyperlinks within imported PDF files and export PDF file from InDesign
With many publications hosted online, we receive a lot of adverts containing hyperlinks as advertisers embrace the fact that specific web pages, websites, YouTube videos, Podcasts, email, social media and more can be embedded. Unfortunately, InDesign only see PDF files as image objects; therefore, hyperlinks are lost when the artwork is exported as a new PDF.
We currently patch transparent objects over the artwork, select text, then copy and paste to apply links to ensure all are seen after the PDF has been exported from our InDesign file.
To retain imported links with PDF…

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.

Check GenAI Images in Preflight
Add GenAI images to Preflight profiles. This is especially important since GenAI images default to saving to the user's computer, which is not ideal in a collaborative environment where other users will see broken links.

Bookmark highlited
Once I set a bookmark on a page, I would like the bookmark name to be highlighted in the bookmark panel when I'm on the page. Just like how when an image is selected, the name is highlighted in the links panel.

Batch Export indb
I would need to have the ability to batch export a folder of books to pdf. The community scripts are not enough—there are features missing.
Also batch export would have to have
– auto update links in documents,
– auto closing and saving (otherwise page numbers are wrong in shared documents).2 votes -
In InDesign, you cannot directly customize the right-click context menu to add specific commands like 'Corner Options' or 'Relink Image...'
In InDesign, you cannot directly customize the right-click context menu to add specific commands I use often — Object functions like 'Corner Options....' or Links functions like 'Relink Image...'. Customization to the right-click context menu like this would help to increase workflow speed for users.

Auto Save and Seamless Crash Recovery
During tight deadlines and rapid delivery cadences, the ability to track down and recover the InDesign file with updates in the event that InDesign crashed is troublesome.
The current process is to track down the document within the path below (link available for more recovery methods) and the probability that all updates are available is in question.
• Mac OS X: Users/[User Name]/Library/Cache/Adobe InDesign/Version[#.0]/InDesign Recoveryhttps://helpx.adobe.com/in/indesign/kb/indesign-document-recovery.html
However, this raises the need to easier more intuitive access to working files if we do in fact need to embrace the inevitability of crash occurrences. If adobe is not enhancing the InDesign…

Let's say you have to make shipping marks for example 100 pieces where 30 pieces have template 1 as layout or master page. and 40 layouts 2 and 30 layout 3. it would be nice that i would be able to create 1 scv file and in that will i will have 1 column that tels InDesign to use for each row a specific template file or a specific master page. if it will where you can use the template file then in does templates the data merge links will have to be the same for it to work.…

"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. This is for PUBLISH ONLINE

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 linkscurretly adobe forces the user to use their folder (under any path) and place the files there
very poor workflow !
