1. Target cell styles in find/change

   Working with long tables would be easier if find/change could be limited by cell style.

   It would be even better if this find/change could include inserting text when there is nothing present in the cell.

2. 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.

3. Allow for setting or synchronizing book-wide footnote/endnote options

   Right now footnote/endnote options are set on the document level. There should be an option so that the options can either be set on the book level or can be part of the style source sychronization set.

   As it is, if I don't create a template that already has my preferred footnote/endnote settings set, I have to individually make those settings for each chapter in a book.

4. Add Alert When Missing Fonts are Replaced with Enabled Adobe Fonts

   When working in a packaged file workflow, where Adobe Fonts are not and cannot used, if there is a missing font that a user might already have enabled in Adobe Fonts, InDesign makes a font replacement with no warning.

   There is an alert to activate missing fonts, but no warning if missing fonts are already activated in the user's system. I’m not sure if you could limit this to: If there is a Document fonts folder present, then there should be an alert before fonts are replaced with Adobe Font versions. This should not effect if fonts are enabled in other font managers.

   For example, if Scala Sans Bold (OTF) is missing from the Document fonts folder for a file, and the user happens to have Scala Sans Pro Bold enabled in Adobe Fonts before opening the file, InDesign just makes the replacement without warning. The user sees no missing fonts, packages the file, sends it to someone else without this font enabled, and the font is missing. This makes it difficult to maintain a strict package workflow.

   This is critical for licensing when files may be worked on by outside vendors or freelancer not working solely in packaging workflows, where access to Adobe Fonts is not controlled.

6. Drag an image directly from the links panel to the page.

   There's something i'd LOVE to see in inDesign.

   Imagine, you design a document, with different images, logos, etc. They come from libraries, folders, bridge, you name it.

   Now you realize a logo you used on page 1 needs to replace a logo on page 24. But not ALL logos. And you want to do it visually by dragging and dropping.

   You'd need to copy, paste inside, or use the relink command. And may be need to dig in your CC libraries to find it again.

   Same thing if you'd like to place it somewhere else. You have all your links in the links panel, but you'd still have to link to the original source file or library.

   WHAT IF…

   We could just drag and drop from the links panel to the page.

   I would expect it to be EXACTLY like Drag&Drop from : the Finder, the CC library…

   Being able to fill an empty image frame, to replace an existing image in a frame, to use the frame's adjust settings…

   And of course, it wouldn't affect the previous location of the image (we still don't have "swap items" natively in inDesign).

   Does anybody see this as an interesting feature ?

   Upvote or comment if you see anything else.

7. Give icons in the Corner Options dialogue their proper orientation

   Instead of using the same orientation for each corner option icon in the Corner Options dialogue, give each corner an icon with the proper orientation. See After.png.

8. Keyboard shortcut for inserting Unicode glyphs

   Accessibility and other forms of automated publishing require the correct Unicode glyphs.

   These glyphs include punctuation, math/science symbols, foreign language characters, and bullets/symbols. In 2000, Unicode became the default character set worldwide across the technology industries.

   But we have no way to easily insert these glyphs into InDesign layouts. For example, if I need the math multiplication symbol rather than a lower case "x", I need to either scroll through the glyph dialogue box, or know beforehand the symbol's codepoint 2715 and type it into the Unicode field in the glyph dialogue box.

   Too slow! Especially when you have to use a lot of these glyphs in a document.

   Word has a keyboard short that works beautifully:
   type the 4-5 digit codepoint for the symbol you need, followed by Alt+x and it will look back over the digits and replace them with the correct Unicode symbol. Takes less than a second to insert the Unicode glyph.

   InDesign needs this, too!

   Examples of some commonly Unicode codepoints are:
   Em-Dash U+2014
   Division (math) U+00F7
   Copyright U+00A9
   Black square bullet U+20A0
   Thumbs Up Emoji U+1F44D
   Summation (math) U+2211 and not the Greek language letter capital Sigma

9. The ability to unlink footnote/endnotes from references, thus turning the footnote/endnotes into static notes.

   As a designer who typesets thousands of pages of academic research annually, the ability to convert footnotes to endnotes and vice versa is a helpful addition (thanks InDesign team), but more features are needed:

   The ability to unlink footnote/endnotes from references, thus turning the footnote/endnotes into static notes.

   Currently this process is accomplished only via the benevolence and magic of Peter Kahrel's script, available here: http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/end_to_static_CC2018.jsx

   The reason being, I can no longer use the InDesign XML tagging feature while the footnote/endnotes remain linked—for some reason, XML tagging of footnote/endnote text is not supported!

   If you'll indulge me, here's a brief overview of my process: Our researchers submit MS Word docs to my department for editing and layout in InDesign. A draft is then circulated, reviewed, final edits are made, and then the whitepaper is published. Part of our publication process involves tagging and exporting tagged XML from within InDesign. We then load the XML into our CMS for publication on our website.

   Due to inability to unlink the footnote/endnotes, currently my workflow involves creating a "disposable" copy of the final InDesign document on which I run Peter's script. This unlinks the references—I then run a handful of other scripts to tidy up for XML handoff to the web. Next, I delete the "web" version of the InDesign file with the broken links and keep the original for archival purposes.

   Another helpful instance where the ability to unlink references is when handing off major publications to our web team. I run the "export all stories" script that comes pre-packaged with InDesign and thanks to Peter's script, I'm able to hand over plain or rtf text files of the final text without losing the references.

   This seems like a useful improvement to the endnote/footnote capabilities. Either allow users to unlink the references without losing the footnote/endnotes and references themselves AND/OR integrate XML tagging of footnote/endnotes.

13. Need the ability to assign fonts to Interactive Text Boxes

    Please, please, PLEASE update the Interactive Buttons and Forms functionality to include the ability to assign fonts to the Interactive Text Boxes.

    Currently, I have to hope that the design I have made is 100% final approved before I can create the final Interactive PDF and spend additional time fine-tuning the fonts and paragraph alignment. If there are any changes after that, I have to go through the entire process again, losing valuable hours, depending on the length of the document. The ability to change only the font size is useless.

    But if the functionality was included in the InDesign palette for the Buttons and Forms, or available via the Character palette, I would assign everything once, during the initial design, and it would carry though no matter how many iterations were created.

15. Restart endnote numbering within a single document

    I love that endnotes are now a feature, but am finding them to make my job more difficult as they are currently.

    I'd love to see a way to restart endnote numbering within a single document--maybe after a certain paragraph style is used or after a section break. With a multi-hundred page document, it looks more clean (both in the text and in the endnotes section) and is more manageable to have lower numbers.

16. Smaller increments when zooming using Keyboard Shortcuts or Mouse Wheel

    If someone is using a Mac laptop, the zooms that can be achieved using the trackpad can be very precise, however the zooms with Mouse Wheel or Keyboard Shortcuts can be a bit too "jumpy" and frustrating.
    For example it jumps from 50% to 75% to 100%. What I often need given my screen size is 60%.
    Maybe if the zooms were smoother all the time it would allow more users to find the right zoom for their comfort, especially if working with several screens

17. Add ALL table and cell properties to table and cell styles

    It's really confusing to have table and cell styles that only affect a subset of properties. Since I love using styles as a best practice, it never occurred to me that I was missing properties until running into numerous issues and doing a ton of research.
    Examples of missing properties are header/footer rows for tables, and keep options for rows.

18. Remove hyperlink:

    Remove hyperlink: There is no simple convenient way to remove a hyperlink. When you check, you find, "Edit Hyperlink" or "Go to destination". So, you go to "Edit" and find the hyperlink field, with the only option to delete the hyperlink being the word/letter info of the link that's in the entire field. But then it won't let you do that, saying: "! Invalid Entry". So, you have to reenter the text you had hyperlinked, then delete the text with the hyperlink. Please add a menu line, in both "Text-Hyperlink" and right-mouse-button "Hyperlink" that says and does "Remove Hyperlink", along with "Edit Hyperlink". Thanks!

    Closed: Fixed  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

    If you have InDesign CC 2019, when you select a Hyperlink and look in the Properties panel, you will see 3 buttons – ‘Remove Hyperlink’, ‘Edit Hyperlink’ and ‘Manage Hyperlink’.
    Remove Hyperlink does what it says – it removes the hyperlink. However, it retains the applied Character Style which can be manually changed by clicking the [None] style in the panel.
    Manage Hyperlink opens the Hyperlinks panel (if it’s closed) and Edit Hyperlink lets you edit it.

    Hope this helps.

20. Placing multi-page PDF (script)

    The script PlaceMultipagePDF is a very usefull and neat tool. However, I feel it miss a few options.

    • Scale to document page size. With additional option of "fill frame proportionally", "fill content proportionally, "fit content to frame", "fit frame to content" and "center content".
    • Option where to place the frame on the page: -- Option to place on any corner or center of page. -- Option to place on any corner or center of bleed. -- Option to have different options above on left and right page.
