1. Path elements as Artifact

   To create an accessible PDFs it’s essential to either tag relevant content or mark irrrelevant content as Artifact. In InDesign you can use the object export options to mark an object as “Artefact”.

   So far so good, however any path elements from tables or underlined/strikethrough text are not marked at all. Obviously, those always need to be marked as an Artifact. InDesign should do this automatically during the pdf export process. Please fix that, it’s extremly time consuming to fix that manually in Acrobat.

2. Add unicode categories to the list of available GREP choices

   If you've ever had to write out a GREP code and weren't sure of the character, you can click on the @ to call up a list of known codes to choose from while in the find/change menu OR the GREP styles panel.
   However, there is a selection that is missing that GREP in InDesign is known to handle, and that is unicode categories:
   https://www.regular-expressions.info/unicode.html
   for example, if I type into the GREP find field - right now - the following code:
   \p{Zs}
   I know that InDesign's GREP will find all spaces except tabs and returns. However, this isn't an option available from the UI right now. My request is to include these unicode searches as part of the UI.

3. Allow Optical Margin Alignment to apply only to punctuation.

   Optical Margin Alignment does a great job allowing quotation marks and hyphens to hang into the column gutters, but it also make characters like A, W, and T do the same, which is often too high a price to pay. Fix this by allowing an option it to only apply it to punctuation.

5. Properties Panel - make it customisable

   I'd like to be able to add things that I use often to it.

   For example, with nothing selected, it has the options for the Document Layout.
   I would like to add to that to include

   Export PDF - and select my proof settings

   So in essence - I could add the options to export to
   Print Ready PDF
   Proof PDF
   Image file format

   etc. - just to be able to add those things would make this panel even better.

   There are other things I'd like to add to this property panel - but that's the general idea, and everyone would have their own things they use often that they would add.

6. Package items included on pasteboard

   Basically our agency puts together loads of creative presentations in inDesign.

   A great way to do this is having mock-ups on main page, but build an associated inDesign editable graphic and we normally put that to the side so if we need to make changes we can do on fly and get the editable file right which we can then very quickly update a PSD smart object mock-up for example. So we can keep all workings in one ID doc and it is easy to manage.

   But if you package work it doesn’t include pasteboard links and I can get why, but it would be great to have a check box to ‘include pasteboard items’ when packaging.

   A workaround is increasing slug to one side of page and if you place graphics in there it packages. But if you could make it easier that would be easier.

   Cheers

7. Add Equation Editor

   Please add Equation Editor, because it is very essential in publishing, utilising the mirroring feature in opentype, in order to serve RTL scripts. However Adobe had provided the world with pioneer programs and very excellent design tools, but unfortunately they still too late in this field.

8. Save PDF Export Settings within the InDesign File

   I remember CS6 had this feature, and not having it on CC makes exporting PDFs a big hassle.
   When I export a PDF from Document A (say with margin and crop marks) then go to document B (which I usually export without margin or crop marks) It still shows me the exact same settings I used on A.

   It should be file dependent: Some files I always export with margin only, others need crop marks. So at the moment I always have to change it again and again on every document.

   Would be nice, if I export a file with certain settings, to save this info in the file itself, so when I open it next time, change something and want to export again, it shows me the same settings as before for this document.

   Would also be possible to set it as possible checkmark in preferences in file management or something, if there are ppl who actually like the way, the export is behaving now and want to keep it.

9. Request for data merge to support table generation

   Currently, data merge can generate pages from a master, but it cannot generate tables. This would be a highly useful feature. My designs use a lot of tables that recur with different data.

12. Libraries

    A really small thing that has tripped me up a more times that I wish to admit is that in Indesign the CC Libraries is called "CC Libraries" however in Photoshop & Illustrator it is just called "Libraries"

    If this could become standardised across the Adobe Suite that would be great.

14. Kerning Editor (with individual margin alignment options)

    A Kerning Editor would fit nicely into the kerning feature, which allows to choose between optical, metrical kerning. The user would define his own kerning names.
    The Kerning Editor has a GUI which allows the user to define his own kerning pairs which override the metrical ones defined in the font's kerning tables. There I can load the metrical kerning or the optical kerning as a start for my individual kerning.
    Furthermore the new Kerning Editor has two more tokens/glyphs to kern with: the left and the right margin of a text frame. So the user can define his own margin alignment set, separately for every glyph in the font.

    Since the EULA's of all font companies are very strict to not alter any part of a purchaced font, it would be very, very useful to manually change the predefined kerning of a font inside an InDesgin document, so you don't have to worry about kerning any more. The optical kerning method is cool, but often enough it provides not the best alternative to the metrical kerning.
    Furthermore the optical margin alignment should be better worked out. The user should not depend on an algorithm, but should be able to decide, which glyph goes out how far beyond the textbox border.
    (There is a competitive layout program which has this feature since v3.x ...)

15. Add alternate text for hyperlinks

    The DOM is not available to add the alternate text for the hyperlinks. For accessibility, the alternate text is required for hyperlinks and the same is available in the latest InDesign app. I hope Javascript DOM might be useful to automate this.

17. Restart footnote numbering flexibility

    Currently, regardless of whether the "Restart Numbering Every: ...." checkbox does nothing to force footnotes to continue across multiple, unthreaded frames. I would have thought that if you didn't tell it to restart, it would not and would continue to increment each time if found a footnote - but that is not the case. We have various footnote scenarios based on our different clients:

    For some, they want the footnotes numbered consecutively throughout their report. Others want it restarted with every major section. But these reports are complicated - hundreds of pages - and it is very inconvenient to thread every frame in order to have the footnotes be consecutive, because we don't want major sections to reflow/change the layout if there is a change to a completely different section much earlier in the report.

    So this request is to give the user greater flexibility with the numbering of footnotes:

    1. Allow for Continuous footnotes across all pages even if frames are not threaded (program would simply look at what the last footnote number was an increment).

    2. Allow user to click directly on a footnote and tell InDesign what number that footnote should be - similar to the way you can with a numbered list item where you can open the "Bullets and Numbering" dialog box and tell it to restart or tell it what number to start from).

    Ways of making things look like footnotes will not help us because they don't translate as Notes when exporting a tagged PDF. So we need a way to use footnotes but the flexibility we have with a numbered list. Thank you

19. InDesign needs to export to PDF/UA

    There is currently no option to export to PDF/UA compliant PDF files. PDF/UA is an ISO standard and base for compliance to accessibility laws.

    Especially in the public sector, where you need to create documents that comply to accessibility regulations this is a must!

    We plan to use InDesign to create accessible PDF forms at a public university in Austria. We are bound by laws to only use software, that allows us to produce accessible content. The creative cloud bundle and acrobat are industry standards, and it is not understandable, why InDesign as part of this suite does not apply to fundamental ISO standards.

20. Why doesn't ID have a blur filter?

    My suggestion for ID is it should have a blur filter along with all the other filters available. it seems it has everything but blur. I use the gradient blur filter all the time for layouts and it's a time saver, so I would love a gaussian blur to also be there so I don't have to go back and forth from ID and PSD.
