2. Stop requiring a resave of documents in new InDesign versions

   I would love it if the Adobe team would figure out a way to have new versions of InDeisgn not require a resave of previously created documents. This is probably THE most annoying feature of using this software. It is not user friendly when you have developed a working method on updating documents month to month, only to be prompted to save the file before any other processes can be performed. I can't tell you how many documents I have "Saved" to my desktop when I thought I was exporting them to PDF. Please fix. Annoying!!

3. Share for Review with indb

   It would be amazing to have the chance to share and review all the documents included in one book.
   We usually design magazines, which are made of many InDesign documents gathered in an indb book. We have to export a pdf so the editor can review the whole magazine. This is ok but manage the comments directly from InDesign would be a huge time-saving feature.
   Thanks!!

4. Toggles in Dashboard for published content

   Introduce zwo Switches/toggles for "Hide the Share and Embed code" and "Allow PDF-Download" within the dashboard for an already published document so it doesn’t have to be republished every time one wants to change any of these options?

5. 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.

6. Please allow for more than 1 inch of Offset for Printer's Marks when exporting PDFs

   Some vendors require more than 1" of bleed, especially on larger format layouts.
   Currently have to build layouts at reduced size to accomplish this.

7. Footnotes and Endnotes

   1a. Export as RichTextFormat ... should include Footnotes and Endnotes.
   1b. Export as HTML ... should include hyperlinked Footnotes and Endnotes.
   1c. Should have option to convert Footnotes and Endnotes to static text. This option should also be available when exporting as per above.
   1d. Above exports should also include any images that are part of the text flow, with an option of converting them to JPEG at a particular resolution.
   2. This would save having to muck around with the HTML code, or manually create static endnote numbers.

8. Layers panel addressing one page at a time (even with spreads) for 508 compliancy

   My agency has to do a lot of remediation to our files to meet accessibility requirements. Currently we use the layers panel to arrange objects on the page so that the reading order makes sense when the PDFs are read using assistive software. With files set up in spreads, all items on the spread are considered in the reading order despite the final PDF being output as single pages. It would be nice if the layers panel could be configured to address one page at a time (vs. two pages, as it is now). For simple projects, the spread approach works fine, but as projects become more complex and with the addition of more pages, this becomes extremely time consuming to remediate.

9. Allow GREP Styles to apply to merged text

   GREP Styles cannot be applied to the results of a merged document, either when printing or exporting to PDF or when creating a merged document. This should be fixed.

   See the attached screenshot. Numbers blurred, but clearly the Invisible style is not being applied.

10. Indesign CC: PDF Export dialog - start with highlighted range entry field - like you used to

    Indesign CS6 used to start with a conveniently highlighted pages entry field. Opening the export dialog you were right away able to type in the desired page range. In CC you have to tripple-TAB to that field, which is a mild but unnecessary deterioration.

    Thanks if you fix this.

11. Variable Spot Colors from Illustrator Definable in InDesign

    The ability to create a vector graphic in Illustrator, fill it with a variable spot color swatch (ie "Variable Color 1/2/3" etc.) and then when that spot color is imported into InDesign you can define it to match your project. Ideally on a per-instance basis, but even just editing the color globally from the swatches panel would be a big help. It would save hiving to make multiple versions of a graphic for each color you need - and that you may never need again.

    For now my workaround is to make a layered PDF from Illustrator with a layer for each color and then turn on/off the various layers in the links panel, but not quite as effective as a variable color and gets tricky when the layers get complex.

12. Remember last export format

    The recently released feature to remember export settings and have them stick with individual documents was a good concept, but it has not been fully implemented.

    As it stands, all it remembers is the 'type' of file that was exported – which in most cases is pretty pointless. I'm sure people know when they export their file whether it needs too be an EPS or a PDF.

    What I thought the feature was going to be was something that remembered the complete export settings – for example with a print PDF it could keep the info relating to compression settings, marks and bleeds, PDF-X standard etc.

    This would be really valuable when the file was next viewed, and even more valuable if the file is being shared with other people. It would guarantee that the file could be outputted consistently.

    I often pick up jobs that other people in our studio have worked on and need to be able to make changes to the file then re-output at the same settings.

13. Improve Preflight

    Isn’t it about time for an update and some enhancements to this great feature? Some suggestions:

    1. Change the default Preflight Profile to something realistic for quality printing. The absence of warnings is misleading, making people think that everything is fine.
    2. Divide the check for “Protected fonts” into two categories: 1. Fonts which do not allow embedding in PDF, 2. Activated Adobe fonts (the existing behaviour of flagging Adobe fonts as “not allowed” causes a lot of confusion)
    3. Change the wording “Transparency not allowed” to just “Transparency” Transparency is rarely a problem nowadays, though it is still good to check whether everything looks as expected.
    4. Give users the option to choose which kinds of transparency they want to check for, and which not – or at least between opacity, effects and overprint applied in the Attributes Panel.
    5. Give users the option to choose which kinds of bleed problems they want flagged, so they can decide if they want to include text frames (which are rarely a problem), lines, images and image frames. This would reduce the clutter that makes it all too easy to overlook something 
    6. Add an option to include Ink Limit. Looking though hundreds of pages in Separations Preview is very time consuming, and errors are easily overlooked.
    7. Make it possible to choose between the existing behaviour of zooming in on errors, and keeping the selected view. The same goes for when you are finding and replacing text an need to decide depending on the context. E.g., choosing to show a bleed error will invariable result in zooming so close that one cannot see what is happening and what can be done about it. The opposite is the case when checking large pages with lots of small images.
    8. Allow users to set a limit to how much non-proportional scaling is acceptable, such as “show only deviations larger than 3%”.
    9. Make it possible to tab through the error messages, to quickly see the Info. Or even better, add a column so one can see the values just beside the errors, instead of only in the Info window. My dream: Change the whole view to make it similar to the Links Panel, so you are free to sort errors by all kinds of criteria.
    10. When checking for colour errors, give users the options to distinguish between seeing colour warnings from images, and from the document (RGB in images may be OK, but not in the document)
    11. Make it possible to see the names of conditional text indicators which causes errors.
    12. Make it possible to check for missing links in Illustrator files.
    13. Make it possible to flag an error as being OK, and to save this info with the document.
    14. This is probably asking the impossible: It would be really cool if by some artificial intelligence you could detect “looks like 100% Black but is not” in vector graphics. With live text and graphics in InDesign itself, at least you can add unnamed colors to get an idea of the suspects, and perhaps temporarily change them to spots in order to “trick” Preflight to find them. Detecting Registration color in graphics works fine, but there are so many other varieties of black made from all the four CMYK colors, such as C=83 M=67 Y=51 K=95, which can look very ugly in print when used on thin lines or small text, and also cause problems on large areas because of too high ink coverage. Again, the only way I know is going through the whole document with Black turned off in Separations Preview, and try to spot thin lines etc. which would be safer to print in pure Black, a rather time consuming process.
    15. Bleed Hazard warnings should not depend on the document bleed settings, but only on the choices you make in Preflight options. Suppose my document setup has a bleed of 5 mm, and Preflight is set to minimum 3 mm, I will still get warnings about missing bleed for images which extend more than 3 mm outside the page margin.
    16. Paragraph marks, spaces, tabs etc. should not be marked as overset text. Please change this so that only real missing text is listed.
    17. Registration color is flagged even when it will not appear on print, like in backlists with cropped PDF’s of covers, or when illustrations are reused by placing print-ready pages from other books. Please change this so that only real problems are listed.

15. Larger preview window on Place image dialog box

    When picking images in a multi-page document from a PDF or Adobe Illustrator files, it would be nice to see a preview size bigger than the 125x125-ish window that is used in the dialog box. Thanks!

16. Auto delete imported remarks after accepting them

    When importing a pdf with remark/correctionss , its impossible to delete multiple remarks after accepting them. It would be great to have an option that deletes the remark after accepting it. I often have 700 pages books with 3000+ remarks. Indesign becomes soooo slow.

    It would be great if InDesign will have the possibility in the near future to export/convert an InDesign document to a HTML5 document. Now you have to buy an expensive subscription for the In5 Plugin to do this.

18. Allow Share for Review Comments to be Printed or Exported

    I can't believe you can't print or export comments created during a Shared Review. I had a reviewer ask for her comments to keep as a record for the next round of document updates and there is NO FEATURE in the browser, or InDesign that will allow those comments to be printed, PDF'd, or exported (so I could import them into a PDF for permanent archival).

    This is a HUGE missing feature.

    My company archives all comments from InDesign's Share for Review and in some cases I've had them disappear entirely.

    Adding the ability to print those comments to a PDF or export them to be imported in Acrobat would allow us to permanently archive the feedback without being dependent on a web link that may or may not save those comments in perpetuity.

    As a workaround, I took a screenshot of every page of the document in the browser and placed those back into InDesign, then ran OCR on the exported PDF (so at least it is searchable).

    It seems that it would be logical to add an Export Comments as .fdf option in this panel, or add a "Print Review Comments" button in the InDesign Print dialog.

    File handling selectively delete recents.
    It would be great if you could selectively delete recent files by right clicking on them with options rename, delete, copy, replace. PDF expert by readdle is has a great way for doing this and is very helpful and fast for filing docs.

20. Page jump links

    Hi! Just finished a document for a client. I had to export it to pdf and create all the page jump links in Acrobat. InDesign wouldn't let me keep the links I created when exporting to pdf. Hyperlinks, yes they work great. Page jump links for documents? We NEED this for client brochures, flipping books etc. I will be giving this artwork to the InHouse team so it's very clunky to have to give them the Packaged InDesign file and a pdf that contains all the selected areas that link to page jumps. I beg of you please for the next update! Thanking you kindly!
