2. Command Line

   I think this feature would make all Adobe products so much faster, easier to use, and more efficient. Something where you could turn it off and on and type your command, or a custom alias, and immediately activate the tool or menu item you want. It could just be something you toggle in the Window menu and that could appear at the top of the screen under the upper toolbar.

3. Refine "No Break" by providing suboptions

   While hyphenation preferences can be refined at the Paragraph (style) level, Character (style) options only provide a boolean “No Break” attribute which prevents line breaks whatever the location of the text in the layout.

   Note, for example, that “Hyphenate Across Column” is available as a paragraph option while the user may actually want to turn on/off column breaks from within a character style. The “No Break” attribute is then too harsh, since it fully disallows line breaking.

   Suppose a ITEMS character style is associated to proper names or book titles. We may want to allow regular line breaking for these ITEMS within a frame or a page, but we may need to exclude breaks across frame or page, making sure that ITEMS always appear in full within a visual block.

   A way to fix this would be to make the character “No Break” attribute more detailed. Instead of a true/false value, a dropdown list of distinct options could be implemented: [No Break (full), No Break Across Column, No Break Across Frame, No Break Across Page]

   Note: The option “No hyphenation” (i.e. “No Word Break”) could be added in that list as well. This would address another feature request which is clearly connected to the present one: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/32293963-add-no-hyphenation-as-a-character-style

   Thanks for considering this idea.

4. Gutter control on spreads for facing-pages layout that require bleed on the inside edges

   There are several requests for this that don't use correct terminology, so I'm going to add this one to hopefully consolidate votes on this long overdue feature. When working on facing-page projects that are not bound with glue, it is imperative that graphics and color that goes to the inside edge have bleed into the gutter. There is no gutter bleed support for parent pages in InDesign, requiring us to create two spreads with bleed across the gutter from either side to support pages that need that gutter bleed on export. Then we have to separate the pages in the layout so that the gutter is accessible on every page that has graphics or color to the inside edge. This is a massive amount of work for something that should be build into the spreads. We should be able to create facing page spreads with a gutter that we can then bleed our design into. Please, please, please add this! I'm so tired of the workarounds, which require twice as many parent spreads and the constant shuffling of pages to keep track of necessary gutter bleed. I've been using ID since version 1.

5. Hide/Filter pages in pages panel AND navigation

   I got myself in a workflow where I would have a document having sections organised like that : title page / content page / title page / content page…
   I have to go back and forth between the content pages, and sometimes between the title pages.
   That helps to compare what has changed and what’s consistent between the pages.
   So I try to not distract my eye by either going to the pages panel or by ctrl-page up with the « title pages » interruption (think about the (now long gone) photoshop cmd-Z to undo/redo and spot differences.

   If Title pages are T1 T2 T3 and Content pages are C1 C2 C3, they’d be « distributed » in the document as : T1 C1 T2 C2 T3 C3…
   I could assign labels to the master pages and would filter the visible pages « all red pages » then my navigation would jump only to the « visible » pages in the panel. They could be either really hidden, or may be grayed out.

   Don’t forget an indicator in the pages panel that some pages are missing.

   On some documents, it could be used as a « progress » indicator : the fewer pages in your pages panel -> the closest the end of the work/day.

6. Add lowercase, Title, and Toggle to Case in style definition options

   When defining a style, under Basic Character Formats, it would be very helpful to force lowercase! (And also add Title and Toggle case options so all case possibilities are present)

   This is especially needed when replacing acronyms (usually typed in all-caps in manuscripts) with the appropriate small caps. It is very time consuming to manually retype all-caps acronyms in lowercase, then apply small caps character styling to it!

   Try doing this for a 300-page book....you'll want to cut your eyes out.

7. 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

9. Object style frame fitting: add 'align towards/away from spine'

   This feature very useful for paragraph styles, for aligning type on facing pages on a spread. Would be equally useful for objects, so can align images towards/away from spine

10. master page & character style search function

    Add On for Organized ID Files:
    Search function for Master Pages and character/Paragraph... styles. In addition to the suggested folders, a search function would be great.

    https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/36775030-sub-folder-grouping-master-pages

    Edit 1.1.2021:
    For very large Indesign files and especially for accessibility productions, it would be an immense advantage and make work easier if you could find the sample pages as well as the format templates (paragraphs, characters, tables, etc.) more quickly using the search function.
    A folder structure for the sample pages would also be an advantage. For the format templates, the function of After Effects would be great if you could simply drag references to each other.

11. Automatic page addition or subtraction when links are updated

    Dear Team,

    My organization uses InDesign to compile our tender documents which vary from about 200 pages to 3000 pages in pdf format. These documents tend to change in terms of the number of pages with each tender. It would save a lot of time if InDesign would check for the new page numbers and add or remove the pages accordingly when updating links. Currently if I update my pdf file to have a few more pages, InDesign does not recognize the extra pages and therefore excludes them all together. I have to manually add the pages which is time consuming and prone to errors. I feel this is a solution that will open up InDesign more to the tendering practice. Thanks

    Regards
    Boniface Kathurima

    Especially for the design of web banners sometimes a smaller page height is important.
    Despite frame distances of 0px and web setting an error message appears with a page height of 72px or lower.

14. Style Application "Tool Tips"

    When I create a "complex" style definition with a long set of embedded styles and a "next" style, I want my coworkers and contractors to apply the full style to the correctly selected copy by using the "Apply (style) then Next Style, Clear Overrides" option (right-click Style Name in the Styles Menu).

    I would be great if I could attach a "Tool Tip" ("Style Application Tip?") to the Style Name in the Menu--it would appear on application of the style, or perhaps on rollover. Attaching the Tip to Templated Objects on the page would be great also.

    Basically, I want to embed production instructions directly into my template.

15. Stop making new folders when I save individual pages to PDFs.

    For my magazine, I export multiple files (over 15) to the same name+page number with the page number being the only difference. The new export feature keeps making a subset folder with the same name which screws up copying the files to the first folder. I have to rename the subset folder, copy the files to the original folder and delete the subset folder. I prefer it not to make a folder at all.

19. Extract/Save Individual Pages in an Indesign Document as a Separate InDesign File

    Please please please consider making a feature where you can extract pages/spreads in an InDesign document as a separate InDesign file. I work in Proposals for a Civil Engineering firm and our proposals are generally 100+ pages with a lot of resumes and project pages. After each proposal is complete we have to go in and save every resume in each person's resume folder and every project page in its respective folder. It takes such a long time to create a new indesign document for each resume and project and copy/paste it over and then save in a folder. It would be so nice to select the pages you want, right click, and be able to save the selected pages as an indesign file into a folder. PLEASE!! Thank you :)

20. Share for Review - Option for reviewers to toggle single page and spread view.

    It would be great if the review online interface had the option to view the project as spreads or as single pages.

    My coworkers who review prefer to make notes/revisions as single pages, but the publications I create are designed as spreads. It's a pain to go through and share as single pages and then move them back to spreads as I work. It would save me from exporting extra PDF samples to show full layouts when there is so much back and forth.
