1. Form Field Export Tags

   Form fields tags aren't exporting properly for tagged pdfs in the newest Indesign (13.0.1). The tags won't show up in the file therefore not allowing the pdfs to pass the accessibility checker. The only work around I'm finding is to re-install the 2017 CC, save the files out as an idml and reopen and export from there. There are no issues when exporting as tagged pdf from the 2017 CC.

2. End-notes and Footnotes URLS

   I do a lot of books for Print and digital (pdf and ePub). End-notes have always been a problem, even now that Indesign supports End-notes.

   For PDF and ePub export , in order to have the end-note reference clickable to redirect the user to it's corresponding end-note, then a link back again, I have to do this manually.

   This is a massive manual process...

   1. Let's say I have 100 end-notes. With each end-note reference, I have to place a new 'Hyperlink Destination' (for the return link)... That's going through the document, and placing 100 hyperlink destinations.

   2. Then, I go to each end-note and I place both a 'hyperlink destination', then a 'new hyperlink' back to the end-notes reference (text anchor created when I added the hyperlink destination). So I'm now up to 300 manual urls/destinations I've had to create.

   3. Now to finish, I now go back to each end-note reference and create a new hyperlink to it's corresponding end-note (text anchor).

   So now I've had to add 400 links/destinations manually. It would be soooo nice that, just like the Table of Contents which auto creates urls to it's corresponding list items, that footnotes and end-notes would automatically create reciprocal URLS.

3. Share for review user interface change to the same as shared online PDFs

   Really like the Share for Review feature however the interface differs slightly to exporting to pdf and sharing an online pdf. Having explored both ways to get client feedback on designs, although as the designer I prefer Share for Review (the ability to update the link with latest changes and being able to review comments direct in InDesign through the 'Review' tab), the clients find the interface on the online shared pdf easier and clearer to use and less buggy. Could InDesigns Share for Review have the same interface/features as the online shared PDF interface.

4. Import pdf comments - make easier to copy comments, UI improvements

   Hi!

   Make easier to copy all or part of the comments:

   • currently the selection cursor doesn't appear until it's very close to the text. Make it appear immediately when it's touching the right or left edge of the comment (not the text edge).

   • make it more compact for PC screens (not tablets, etc). There's too much empty space and padding which means more scrolling. E.g. 1) Leftmost side is kind of mostly empty, except containing the icon of the commenting user. 2) Page number line only contains page number and could have less padding. 3) Resolve/Accept buttons line only contains those buttons, and also has too much padding. 4) Commenting person line, similar problems.

   • perhaps make option to display the commenting person/date, most of the time I don't need to see this information for every comment.

5. Enable importing of comments from PDF Review in Document Cloud

   Importing of comments from a review being shared via Document Cloud makes perfect sense, this would make a seamless process. The new share for review feature looks great but is too buggy to use at the moment with clients (I have tried)

6. PDF comments - Option to remove all resolved comments at once

   Option to remove all resolved comments at once. An option to remove all resolved comments in the comment window would be very interesting, because indesign has a performance issue with too much comment.

7. Individual PDFs - prefix page number

   Thanks for the new export to individual pages!!! Would it be possible for the page number to be a prefix? My InSite provider wants the page numbers in the front of the file name. Perhaps it could be an option along with suffix?

   Otherwise I'm stuck batch renaming all my files before uploading which is just adding another step to make a mistake.

   Thanks.

9. Relative paths to external files

   My goal is to do all the layout and linking in indesign then do an export to a PDF with hyperlinks. The PDF and all the external linked files will then be distributed to other computers via USB-stick or CD.
   The links has to be relative for this to work and I would like to have that option in the hyperlinks pod/panel or when doing a PDF (or HTML export).
   I have been waiting 10 years for this feature - I cant understand why it has not been implemented searching the internet. it must be a clear usecase for indesign.

10. Placeholder Text Feature

    Seeing as InDesign has interactive PDFs in mind giving us the ability to create forms easily and then export them as a PDF to open in Acrobat, I feel like a feature to inset placeholder text to fields shouldn't be too difficult to implement.

    To clarify, I was hoping to find an option under the Buttons and Forms toolbox that allows us to check off a box for placeholder text so when someone types in the field the original text there is overwritten with the new content. Like a "W" for width and an "L" for length in field boxes meant to hold dimensions for rooms.

    I could see it being part of the Buttons and Forms toolbox where you select an option that says "Placeholder Text" and offers you a field to write in what that text is going to be. Then you can simply duplicate that Text Field for as many times as needed.

    Right now the option I'm using is just creating all the field normally and after exporting them into PDF, I then have to go through each field individually and manually add the placeholder text, then save it. This takes a lot of time out of my day to do because there are a lot of these fields I have to do this too.

11. Black only crops

    When printing or exporting to a pdf file for print, can we have an option of black only crop marks. The reason is when we print to our Xerox Igen 4 and there is a mixture of color and black and white pages, the pages with just black text register as color because of the registration colored crop marks and on large runs it can add up to a lot of money. Thank you.

12. Share for Review: Page view instead of Spread View

    I am having lots of people reviewing page-oriented instead of spread-oriented documents. (Books, manuals and the like.) Some are asking why they can't view the PDF in Share for Review as a single scrolling page, like in Adobe Reader. I personally don't care, but I have no answer for them. It would be nice, and it seems it would be technically not that difficult, to support single-page view. This would really help people reviewing on a tablet or a phone.

13. Ideas to improve PublishOnline document navigation

    I often get reports back from clients and users that 'there is only one page in that online link you sent'. I figure if I get a report back like this, there must be a fair few more who experience this but don't report back...

    Viewing a PDF document online via a UI like this is not a common experience for many user types. To improve their experience I propose:

    – An option to always show the page thumbnail selector.
    – Larger, more prominent page left and right arrows.
    – Option to advance through pages on scroll down (or view as continuous pages)

    Thanks

14. Add comments from InDesign to reviewer using Share for Review

    It seems like owners of documents can only reply to existing comments made in the Share for Review document but can't create comments in InDesign that appear in the Share for Review document. Often, we have a question about text or images that the reviewer needs to answer, but we have to first Share for Review and then create the comment there. It would be great if we could convert InDesign Notes to comments for the reviewer that they can see in the Share for Review side panel.

15. A button to convert or set swatches from Coated or Uncoated PMS to the opposite in a instant. Like a master switch.

    In Prepress there are 2 sets of PMS swatches, and clients do not know when to use either correctly or use both on the same layout.

    We need a master switch to use either/or, and be able to switch between them with a click of a button. I would think this would be a page setting or something.

    I have attached a zip containing 2 indesign files, 1 of which has been provided by our client and the other has the UNCOATED swatches converted to COATED for press print.

16. Implement Chart- and Diagramfunction

    Implement a Chart- and Diagramfunction based on a linked XLS.

    Reason:
    Technical Data for Products is often managed in XLS and Engineers create all kind of charts and diagramms directly in XLS.
    Unfortunately it is not possible to import those XLS-charts in InDesign! There are serveral solutions possible, e.g. via PDF, but these are only "dirty-tricks" and they are all not sustainable at all. In the best case the charts and diagramms look ugly.
    While it is possible to link/import XLS-Data, it should be possible to create charts and diagrams directly in InDesign, as Illustrator already does (similar, not nice and smart).
    It would be wonderful if this function would be like a "Object-Style" in InDesign.

17. Create native paths from imported vector

19. preflight errors alert in export

    When exporting to pdf, if there are missing fonts, links and/or overset text (probably some other options), we will have a prompt saying that we have those kind of errors and InDesign will allow us to fix the errors before creating the pdf.

    In the other hand, if we have missing glyphs for example, InDesign will create the pdf without any warnings.

    You can see the errors in the preflight panel but I think it can be easily overseen and this extra security step would help to fix these errors if needed.

    I think Indesign should show this prompt every time there is an error in your preflight so you can decide if create the pdf or not.

20. Help page gives incorrect information regarding PageMaker file conversion

    Searched InDesign support for "pagemaker file conversion"
    The top article (dated March 2017) is titled "Convert QuarkXPress and PageMaker documents to InDesign". Here's the address of this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/converting-quarkxpress-pagemaker-documents.html This article is part of the "InDesign CC User Guide." In the right hand column, it says it applies to InDesign CC. The first sentence in the Pagemaker section is "InDesign can convert document and template files from Adobe PageMaker 6.0 and later." It proceeds to give directions. I have come to find out that these instructions cannot be followed in InDesign CC, but only in InDesign CS6. This resulted in me wasting about an hour talking to Adobe's truly worthless support representatives.
    This webpage needs to be corrected. Just replace that first sentence with: "InDesign CC cannot open or convert PageMaker files, but there is a solution. Start by downloading and installing InDesign CS6. Use CS6 to open and convert your PageMaker files (instructions below). After you save them as InDesign documents, you will be able to open them in InDesign CC."
    It is clearly in Adobe's interest to help their customers avoid contact with the Adobe support staff. Correcting this webpage will be a move in that direction.
