1. Provide a linking feature to duplicate text from one frame into others

   It would be highly valuable to be able to define a parent text frame and then link that frame to other frames in a layout that duplicates the text in that frame.

   This would be similar to the way that text links in alternate layouts work, but the styles to the linked (child?) frames are allowed to be independent of the parent.

   Trying to use text variables for this kind of duplication runs into the multi-line issue. Copying linked frames from alternate layouts will result in the parent style of the linked text to overrun any changes made to the child.

   An example use for this would be printed tab layouts, where the from one frame in the layout typically appears on the tab front, tab back, and back of the tab. Having these frames linked to automatically refresh the only text of the parent while maintaining the unique styles required by their placement would be an elegant solution.

   Also, this would provide a unique opportunity to make more graphical use of text in reliably repeatable ways, as one frame could control text in many frames, styled, arranged and layered in more artist ways, but still editable with little effort.

2. Cache remote/server images on local drive for high quality display preview

   Yesterday I was working on a document from another office so the server wasn't in the building. I was working on graphics that required hi-res display so I could use them as a guide, but because they were all on the server the performance was abysmal. I realised after a while what the problem was, copied them to my local hard drive and re-linked so everything was much faster.

   InDesign should be able to do this automatically: when a large image is not on the local drive, a copy of it could live in a cache somewhere to be used to generate the hi-res previews. If the server image changes, the local copy can simply be refreshed. It would greatly speed things up and avoid having to maintain and link to different sets of images.

3. Indesign Online Dashboard improvements - Custom URL, Google analytics, Fname direct to send clients

   Indesign is hands down the best software to design & create digital brochures with its advanced technology & features its impeccable. HOWEVER talking about the Online Dashboard System its not leading the industry.

   I've done my research and a lot of the online digital brochure creator websites are ahead.

   I will list below a few new ideas/features I'd love to see Adobe implement to put them back in the lead when it comes to the publishing feature.
   (Some of these ideas are already being done by the online companies)

   <> Custom URL, so it looks more professional to clients rather than it saying "Ind.Adobe" with loads of numbers following it.

   <> While on the subject of the URL, it would be fantastic if we could customise the cover photo/thumbnail rather than it showing the adobe logo, I'd like to show my brands logo. It would be a great feature for when we send the link in WhatsApp

   <> Better and more analytics rather than just the 3-4 basic ones. The more the better it really helps to understand as much as possible. (gender/location/where they found the link/social media and so much more)

   <> To go one better a collaboration to implement Google Analytics

   <> Name tags - (I don't actually know what this is called) I'm sure you've all seen it when setting up emails in mailchimp for example 'Fname', then it automatically inserts the clients name.
   It would be fantastic if this feature could be inserted inside the brochure, so the client feels like the brochure itself is personal to them.
   Then instead of the traditional 'Publish Online' button, it has a send to box and when you enter each clients name & email it automatically fills the name and sends the Custom URL link to that specific client.

   I think finally I'm done.

   I have so many ideas so anyone that works at Adobe if you're struggling for new features you can give me a call🤣

   Thank you and I hope other Indesign fans will see these features as benefits, I look forward to seeing them on the platform soon.

4. Relink already placed images with new images

   When I tried to relink an already placed JPG in my InDesign CC 2019 file with a larger version of the same graphic with another file name, the Links panel showed the new file name and the new graphic size, but the placed image in my InDesign file remained the same.

   For example, the original graphic was 1" wide and the new graphic was 3" wide. When I relinked the 1" graphic to the 3" graphic file, the image in my InDesign file still showed the graphic as 1" wide even though the Link Info showed the new file name and the new graphic size.

   This means that I have to re-place the entire image and redo all of the "effects" connected to that image, which is a lot of work in a book with many images!

5. More options for packaged files.

   Here is an idea that I would think is relatively easy to implement, but would be a great relief to many of us.

   So, I packe and indesign file and it creates a copy, an idml-file, a pdf and "sucks in" all links and fonts to a neat folder. Indesign operates under the assumption that this is the very last thing you do, but often I do this midway to secure everything, or to move to another computer etc etc. Or i retuurn to a finnished project a year later as the client wants some updates.

   I would love the following:

   • an option to automatically close the open document and open the newly packaged document (so you dont carry on working in the old doc)

   • a feature called Update Package: indesign resaves the doc, scans it to suck in new images and fonts, and the option to delete those files not longer in use.

   That is all, thanks!

7. Checkbox to change style of linked object

   I would like to use/export interactive PDF, which would allow user to check the checkbox next to object. Upon checking, the object hidden style would become visible.

   For example: I have PDF with multiple images of cars. When I check the checkbox near the image of car, that image will be overlayed with green transparent effect to show this car has been selected.

   I would like to have this feature available for my collection overview and to see the visual feedback of all collected objects would be satisfying for me.

8. Native AI support.

   Using links within AI to keep source files small is useless if INDD is a part of the workflow because INDD will not place AI files unless PDF compatibility is turned on. Turning on PDF compatibility in AI when saving embeds all links so linking files instead of embedding them makes no difference.

   Please make INDD able to place AI files that have not been saved with PDF compatibility turned on.

10. 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?

12. 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.

13. 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. Jmf när man manuellt kopierar bilder från olika mappar till en gemensam i MacOS som då varnar : "Ett objekt med namnet *** finns redan på den här platsen. Vill du ersätta ..."

    mvh

14. 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 links would have to be adjusted. At this moment my links look like "https://example.com/votingpage.php?document=Filename&Page=pagenumber&Article=ArticleID&Score=1" and this has to manually adjusted for every item ... and this 3 times (scores vary from -1 to 1 for 3 possible scores). This process could be much easier with document-parameters that can be used in hyperlinks.

17. 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 if I miss one or two spot colours whilst exporting to PDF, which can sometimes happen if I am on a really tight deadline.

18. 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.

20. 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 Recovery
    

    https://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 product due to phasing out the product or low prioritization with competing business demands. The enterprise users need to be made aware of this in order to prioritize seeking other similar products that enable us to meet our business demands that require working with InDesign.
