1. Group/Organize Parent Pages

   It would be very helpful for larger documents if I had the ability to group/organize the parent pages in their panel. I am currently working on an urban planning document where each section of the master plan (parks, housing, wastewater, etc...) has a different colored footer and chapter page, so I have 8 different footer parent pages and 8 different chapter pages, on top of the 10 or so general layout parent pages I create for our urban planners to use as templates. Consequently, navigating the parents panel requires a LOT of scrolling. If I could just group all my footer parents in a folder and all my chapter parents in a folder, I could cut down the real estate they occupy in my panel.

   I don't pretend to understand software development, but I suspect this would be a pretty straightforward feature to implement, right?

2. Books. Please add more control from scripts

   Book. Add more control from scripts: reading state from Book panel (highlighted items).
   Maybe add a new property to BookContent (boolean), what signals whether this element is highlighted on a book panel.

3. Moveable Artboards

   Make a feature that allows pages to act like artboards do in Adobe Illustrator.

   Be able to move them freely. It’s great that it seems we may overlap now, but I’d like to be able to build my graphics for use on architectural structures made of many panels that could be attached to each order at different angles.

   Making InDesign work more like Illustrator this way might save me a lot of time + gives me better typographical tools, like aligning to center top or bottom of a text box (not available in Illustrator, so far)

   Thanks!
   (I’d attach example Illustrator file, but work for Jaeger climbers who would not want their work here)

5. How Can I Preserve Image Quality When Converting Slides to PDF?

   I’m having trouble keeping image quality high when converting my presentation slides to PDF. Every time I export or print to PDF, the images become blurry or grainy. I already tried using the survival race “Print to PDF” option, but the resolution still drops noticeably.

   Does anyone know the best settings or tools to preserve image quality in PDFs?

6. Scrollable text frame feature.

   Currently you have the option in the overlays panel, but it currently doesn't work. This is valuable for many design jobs where the client has to cull text to make the content fit into a specified page size. Particularly in PDF format, so if it's possible to make it work for all export formats, not just ePub and Publish online. Clients are still using PDFs so we need to make things work for them.

7. Scroll through placed multi-page PDFs or InDesign documents within InDesign

   Essentially, make the Show Import Options Preview panel directly accessible inside InDesign.

   This would save me a considerable amount of time.

8. A pdf setting that allows me to Set the "opening view" properies of a pdf from indesign

   Allow setting of the PDF "opening view" properties on creation instead of after creation.
   When I send a proof, I want my customers to see the pages panel, and view the files at a specific size and layout - Doing this has saved thousands of cock-ups - unfortunately it has cost me hundreds of hours doing the same thing over and over.

9. Make editing of hidden Conditional Texts easier

   When working on texts with hidden conditional texts in it, I frequently have to do corrections inside the hidden texts either. It would be great, if hidden conditional text would be visible and editable e.g. in the story editor, without changing the visibility in the conditional text panel.

   Or make it expandable in the story editor by clicking on the eye symbol ...

10. Improvement Indesign Accessibility Features

    I use Indesign to create accessible PDFs but there are a few features that should be there.

    TABLES
    Automatic Header Column and Header Row tagging. At the moment Header Column is recognized but not Header Row. If this was implemented you could go a step further and add ID tags and scope automatically. This would be a huge time saver since this all has to be done manually in Acrobat. It would also be nice to have an option to specify the Title of the table as a caption tag.

    FOOTNOTES
    At the moment you have to add the proper tags manually and move them to the proper place.

    LINKS
    Please add an Alt tag area when creating a link. Even word has that.

    ARTIFACTS
    For some reason even when you tell an object to be an Artifact in InDesign, it still comes out as an untagged element. This is a huge time sucker especially when it comes to large publications. Having to go through the Content pane in Acrobat marking unmarked elements is a pain! All lines, rules, and shading should automatically be marked as an artifact by Indesign.

    ARTICLES
    When you export a file to PDF and tell the Articles panel to Use the Reading Order in Tagged PDF, you still have to select all pages in Acrobat and tell it to Use Document Structure.

    TABLE OF CONTENTS
    Telling your TOC to use proper TOC tags. I don't understand why this is not built into InDesign already.

    Thanks for listening,
    Shane

11. Character styles applied to paragraphs apply to bullets as well

    99.9% of the time I want bullets to match the text color. When changing the character color via the Paragraph Styles palette or when selecting the text and changing the color via the color palette, the bullets do just that. But when I select text and change the color via a character style, the bullets don't follow suit.

    To give you an example of why this would be useful to me, one thing I often end up doing is creating two versions of something: one on a dark background, one on a light background. The only thing different between the two is the text color, so instead of creating an entirely new paragraph style for "dark" or "light," I just apply a character style to the text frames that changes the color in all of them.

    And this works perfectly well when it comes to bullets. If my text contains a bullet list, I have to duplicate the bullet style, apply the desired character style to the bullets in the Bullets and Numbering panel, then apply the style to the text. Which is an annoying extra step for something that's an otherwise simple change.

    It would be nice if character styles applied to an entire bullet paragraph automatically applied to the bullets as well, so I could avoid the process described. If I want the bullets to be a different color than the text, THEN I'll use the character style settings in the Bullets and Numbering panel.

12. Changing Paragraph Style in InCopy story does not prompt check-out dialog

    1. InDesign 13.1 and 14.0 both exhibit this behavior.

    2. If you have an InCopy story that is not checked out to you, and you attempt to change a paragraph or character style, the following happens:

    • The style change does not take effect (this is correct)
    • The newly-selected style appears to be selected in the paragraph style panel (incorrect)
    • The "You must check out the contents of this frame in order to make changes. Check out now?" dialog does not appear. (incorrect)

    1. I expect the "You must check out the contents of this frame in order to make changes. Check out now?" dialog to appear.

    There are a few other inconsistencies in these sort of actions as well -- with a checked-in story, most text editing options in the control panel are not available -- but changing the weight of a typeface is, although, like changing a paragraph style, it doesn't do anything. Typing a space produces the expected "Wanna check out? dialog; but typing a tab doesn't.

13. Directly create transparency on letters/words in a text frame

    Currently it is not possible to define a letter or words within a text frame with a certain percentage of transparency. It is only possible to adjust the Tint. In the Effects Panel, the Transparency options are greyed out (not accessible).

    Sometimes in a design you want to create such text effects, which at the moment can only be achieved with a workaround: an anchored text frame which poses several challenges if the transparent text runs over several lines.

    Affinity Publisher offers this right out of the box in the current version (2.3.1). Quark Xpress can do this as well. It would be great if InDesign also offers this functionality. Thank you!

    Please see attached screenshots to compare the two setups.

14. Support ID Books!

    As a freelancer corralling multiple ID files, many which share Styles, Parent Pages and other elements, or need to output in a certain order as a combined PDF, I have long used the Book function in ID and MANY OF MY CLIENTS DO AS WELL. This feature of InDesign is still bare bones, undeveloped and buggy. It needs attention from developers! Here are my wishes for Adobe InDesign Books:

    1) The Book Panel is still bare bones. Simply give it your attention.

    2) I want all the fly-out menu options for a book to be available with a secondary click/contextual menu.

    3) I want label colors in the Book panel to mark the status of various documents/chapters.

    4) I want View options to stick! If I have a lot of documents in a Book, and I set it to view in Small Panel Rows, I want that setting to be there every time I open the Book!

    I’m frustrated that Adobe devotes so much attention and talent to XD, Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator but really seems to have their eye off the ball with InDesign, or print in general. Please turn some attention and talent resources toward InDesign and the Book feature. This is long overdue.

15. Make UI Scaling NOT affect document scaling

    The recently-added UI Scaling feature also scales the size my document is displayed! Why?? When I type command-1 to view my document at actual size, I expect an 8.5 x 11 page to be that size on the screen. But if I increase the scale of the UI (tools, pallets, etc.) it also increases the "actual size" scaling of my document so it's much bigger than it should be. So, in other words, the UI scaling should NOT affect the scaling of the document rulers; 1" should always be displayed at 1".

16. alt/option + new style

    When you want to create a new style and have the window pop up immediatly, you have to alt+click on ne "new style" button.
    The window should pop up when you simply click the "new style" button. This should be the same for other panels such as the swatches panel.

18. Add Ligature Manager Palette

    In order to enable the user of ID to enable or disable one or more discretionary or standard ligature(s) in a document, because unicode and opentype technologies provided font designers with the excellent tools to make very complex fonts. Also in Character palette, the ligatures enabling or disabling has no shorcut command, (I still use CS3), so would you add customization palette to all Adobe Products?

20. ARROWS: Give arrow start/end a different color option from line type color

    It would be great if we were able to make the end of an arrow (from within the stroke panel) a different or complementary color from the arrow line itself. It would be a huge time saver from the other workarounds required to create something seemingly so simple. Especially if it could then be saved as an object style. I think many people would use this feature in their designs.
