Create an hyperlink to a "not specific" file or folder with a generic name like "AAA*.pdf"
To make an hyperlink to a “not specific” file or folder.
For example:
In the reference folder I can have a file named “TIM 111.pdf” or “TIM 222.pdf”.
I would like to make a hyperlink like “TIM*.pdf” that opens the file that I have in the reference folder without specified the complete file name.1 vote -
free local installed viewer for mac amd win
there should be a free locally installed mac and win viewer for indesign and photoshop files for sales people to view on inhouse secure servers.
these files need to be on our server and not in a third party non DOD certified cloud server which are subject to cyberthreats.1 vote -
color panel bug in ID CC 2018
color panel bug in ID CC 2018: the panel doesn't display colors, it's empty. It's not possible to add a new color to the panel. I can add colors only to CC libraries. My OS is high Sierra 10.13.4

Paragraph adjacent to the previous without indentation
Such a paragraph model exists in some word processors. It's not always convenient to add the same nested styles to a dozen different paragraph styles.
Also, this feature would solve some other problems (for example, you could create a list in one paragraph)

Either copywriting or translation need to be watched
This message is about idiomatic usages in the interfaces of Adobe products and their mistranslations into other languages.
When those mistranslations don't cause inadequacy in the Adobe software's useability by professionals because they guess what it meant in the interface, professionals just make fun of them and pass them by.
But when they can't guess what it meant in the interface, Adobe lose credit because some features of the Adobe software is not known by professionals.
I will give you an example in the second situation. In the Adobe InDesign software, there is a mistake causes misunderstanding in the Turkish translation.
In the original English InDesign, there is a phrase "greek vector drawings on drag". In its Turkish translation, they got greek as if it is a language. Please see attached screenshot, see the bottom, red arrow done by me.
Anyone reading that sentence would think like: "oh yes, because Greek has different alphabet, probably it is about the alphabet's appearence"...
But this causes InDesign to be taken as "weak and slow in the vectoral way, but because it is a desktop publishing software, it is not its job. Do your vector work in the Illustrator and import it into InDesign as raster and use it like that" in Turkey at least, (probably in other countries too). I met many conversations about vector, raster and text features in graphic artists and desktop publishers. They never know “"To control whether to greek text and images when you scroll a document, drag the Hand Tool slider to the desired level of performance versus quality." As indicated here: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/workspace-basics.html
this is only one case. Other mistranslations in Adobe softwares I met so far do not effect the understanding this much. That's why ı never need to write you.Take care, keep up good work!

More stability with the CC account connection
INDD is most of the time unable to convert recent documents to an old version. Everything is connected, CC is active, but conversion fails.
Same with libraries. INDD is connected, but libraries are not available (disconnected of CC).
The only solution is to reboot the system, I can't spend my working time to reboot computers.

Markierter Text
Seit dem letzten Update reagiert die Tastatur seltsam.
Markiert man in einem gewöhnlichen Texrahmen ein einzelnes Zeichen und schreibt ein neues ist alles wie gewohnt.
Sobald man aber zwei oder mehr Zeichen markiert schreibt InDesign erst beim zweiten Zeichenanschlag. Das erste eingetippte Zeichen wird also immer unterschlagen, sehr nervig!1 vote -
pasting to layer
When pasting, it would be nice to be able to not have to stop to select layer when there is only one layer open and simultaneously have to stop to address error message saying prev layer used is locked or hidden etc. I frequently just want stuff pasted into doc and don't care at the time which layer it falls on and do not always wish to organize as I paste etc.
the same principal applies to dragging from cc library too.

Show Hidden Characters
When you have "Show Hidden Characters" turned on, we don't really need to see the hidden characters of the type that's on the Master Pages.
The reason I'm asking that is that with this option turned on, it interferes with my ability to read small type that's on the Master Pages.
I mean, if I'm looking at a Master Page, sure it could be on, but if I'm looking a the regular pages with that feature turned on, I usually don't need to see those hidden characters of the type that's on the Master Pages.

Support for .oam files in interactive pdf‘s
Wouldn’t it be great if you could publish an interactive Pdf and have the ability to see some basic animation to help tell your desired story? I’m not talking about an ePub here, or an outdated flash file. I’m suggesting that a widely accepted format across multiple platforms, the Pdf, should have the capability to play an lightweight animation / .oam / .gif rather than only be able to have a huge .mp4, with massive compression!
Surely by now we could have some nice .svg animation. Is html5 able to be implemented into in design? There must be a relatively easy solution to this.
Does any one have any ideas how this could work?
Adobe, what can we do to help you make this a reality?
Thanks in advance :-)

InCopy Autoflowing Text takes forever (a long time)
i use InCopy as a notes app since 2015. the file i write on is now almost 5 mb big. and i noticed that over the years it takes longer and longer for incopy to open my document. and it is because of "Autoflowing Text" i do not even know what it is and i can't even google it. But it takes so long. what i have been doing over the years is that i just wait for it to finish. But now i am trying to find a setting in preferences to turn it off whatever it is so that i don't have to wait for it to finish before i start typing on my document.

Add a blank to the font listing in the style menus
When you modify an existing style, there's no way to un-set the existing font except for reverting the whole style to blank. I'd like to be able to modify a style so that it no longer applies the font, without resetting the whole existing style.

Tools handling
Instead of corner nodes which are used to resize the box, provide the easy option to user where ever they want hold the box edges to resize, it could be better to work with ID..

Allow setting of dashed stroke options in Object Styles
It seems unrational that all other stroke options can be set in the styles but not this one.

interrupt the checking and reading of PSD, TIFF or other large embedded files
It took a good few minutes for my new computer to complete that process, and it would be worse for a older machine. Maybe we can have a option to cancel that process? InDesign froze in my old computer while waiting for these files to complete loading.

New Create New document dialog box variables
I'd like to see the variable labels in the new Create New Document dialog box In InDesign made active so that when you click on them ID selects the current value for you to change; i.e., I'd like to see them work as most all the other entry fields work. This is a real time saver and I'm always telling my students to use this feature, not click inside a field and swipe over/highlight existing value....
