1. Export correct unicode spaces to epub/html

   Logging this as a new feature, but it could also be a bug? Also logging this under "EPUB" since thats most important to me, but it also affects "HTML"

   Currently the only space characters exported by InDesign are the regular space and the non breaking space. All others are converted to regular spaces on export. These spaces should be retained in the epub, since they are supported by reading systems and in many cases it is typographically incorrect to use regular spaces.

   Spaces with direct Unicode mappings:
   Normal Space U+0020
   Nonbreaking Space U+00A0

   Em Space U+2003
   En Space U+2002
   Third Space U+2004
   Quarter Space U+2005
   Sixth Space U+2006
   Thin Space U+2009
   Hair Space U+200A
   Punctuation Space U+2008
   Figure Space U+2007

   InDesign custom spaces without unicode mappings:
   Nonbreaking Space (fixed width) N/A (should be mapped to U+00A0, regular non-breaking space)
   Flush Space N/A (this one is OK mapped to regular space)

   I have full example files, but InDesign user voice doesn't accept InDesign files as attachments, nor zip, HTML, or epub. Attached HTML saved as text.

2. Password Protection for Online Publishing

   It would be incredibly helpful if, when publishing a pdf online - for both personal or professional use - there was an option to add a password protection to the link, so that if a link to an important document were to be shared, only those intended recipients - those with access to the password - would be able to access and view it.

3. Repair Print Booklet please

   Anyone finding this post will have the same question: why is it so hard to create an imposed .pdf in InDesign? Is it due to license wars?

   I know, there is a workaround via .ps and distiller, but this fails, since there is no flexible generic ppd available. If your home printer only prints A4, you are not able to create an A3 .pdf to print at a printshop. Insane.

   Please, Adobe, bring (back) this functionality to create imposed .pdf's at any size with the Print Booklet function, even when no printer is available.

4. Print the contents of the book window

   I'm working on a very long document -- a book with about 300 component files (2-4 pp each). They're all in the book window... but once you're past two or three dozen files, the organization of the book window becomes difficult to view and comprehend. I'd like to print out the contents of the book window (PDF, CSV, spreadsheet, text, whatever) so that I can review what's there and see how best to organize it. The book window allows me to print out the book in different ways, and I can print portions of the book... but not that overview of all the component files and their filenames. I could print a Windows directory... but that prints in alphabetic order, by size, or by date -- not in the order that the files occupy in the book window.

5. Share for Review - Image Quality

   Bring the optimized quality of Share for Review images up to the level of acceptable web-based image optimization at 100% size.

   I understand the need to optimize images for high-performance quick reviews. However, the current setting is far too low. Upgrading the image quality to an acceptable web-image optimization will help reduce feedback loops with concerns from stakeholders over bad image quality.

   In my review workflows using Shared for Review, I am now constantly exporting and sending separate PDFs to reviewers to prove image quality based on concerns from the Share for Review representation.

   Please know that the Share for Review feature is well-received with all my clients and I personally think it is an EXTREMELY valuable addition to InDesign. However, creatives and content publishers are sending documents to all kinds of stakeholders in and outside their teams and organizations for review. Many of those stakeholders do not understand the limitations nor should they be expected to. If I have content in an image that needs to be reviewed, that content needs to be clean, legible and optimized at an acceptable on-screen resolution quality.

   Please increase the resolution to that on-screen standard.

7. Footnote numbering for Persian and Arabic ePubs

   It is a significant undertaking when one needs to convert an Arabic/Persian (RTL languages) book into an ePUB. In addition, the software capabilities diminish as the number of readers decreases. The InDesign Development Team has done a decent job making the InDesign 2022, version 17.3 (Eng/AR), work well. However, there is still a lot to accomplish in non-native languages to be processed.

   One major issue with InDesign is that the only option for footnotes is using Latin numbers (1,2,3,...). When a book is written in Arabic/Persian, the same kind of numbers are needed (۱، ۲، ۳،...). When creating a print version of the book, the numbers are shown correctly as the font used has the numbers. However, all footnotes are numbered in Latin when the Arabic/Persian text is converted to an ePub. I had to change more than 400 numbers for footnotes in a book with three hundred pages. Is there any way that Development Team can add an option for footnotes to use Persian/Arabic numerals? (Feature Request)

8. InDesign review feature request - accept edits

   As I am playing with the new review feature within InDesign, I noticed that it is not a robust as the PDF comments feature. There is the "resolve" button, but no "accept" button. I would like to request that there is an "accept" button so I don't have to make any type edits and adding in the risk of error.

10. Conversion of Text Encoding

    1. InDesign is missing a built-in function to convert different Chinese text encoding, e.g. Big5 to GBK or vice versa

    2. Right now, the only way to do it is to do the conversion of encoding elsewhere and paste the text back in InDesign. But then all formatting will be lost

12. 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.

15. Layer configuration export

    Title: Option to Disable Specific Layers During PDF Export (Without Changing Document Visibility)

    Description:

    In many editorial workflows, especially in educational publishing, we work with layered documents that contain both student and teacher content within the same InDesign file.

    A common use case is:

    • A "Student Version" (without answers)
    • A "Teacher Version" (with answers)

    Currently, to export the student version, users must manually open each document and disable the "Answers" (or similar) layer before exporting. This becomes extremely time-consuming and error-prone when dealing with dozens or hundreds of files.

    Feature Request:

    Add an option in the PDF export settings that allows users to:

    • Select specific layers to include or exclude during export
    • Override current layer visibility temporarily (without modifying the document itself)

    Suggested UI Behavior:

    • A panel within the Export PDF dialog showing all document layers
    • Checkboxes to include/exclude layers
    • Option to save this configuration within PDF export presets

    Benefits:

    • Eliminates repetitive manual work
    • Reduces risk of human error (e.g., accidentally exporting answers in student materials)
    • Improves workflow efficiency for publishers and educators
    • Aligns with real-world editorial production needs

    Additional Notes:
    This feature would be especially valuable for batch exports and automated workflows, where scripts are currently required as a workaround.

    ---

    Thank you for considering this improvement!

16. Checkbox to change style of linked object

    I would like to use/export interactive PDF, which would allow user to check the checkbox next to object. Upon checking, the object hidden style would become visible.

    For example: I have PDF with multiple images of cars. When I check the checkbox near the image of car, that image will be overlayed with green transparent effect to show this car has been selected.

    I would like to have this feature available for my collection overview and to see the visual feedback of all collected objects would be satisfying for me.

17. Flatplan for magazines

    Adobe does not currently offer a tool for page imposition when creating a magazine.

    A magazine is produced from many documents, which are then compiled into a complete issue along with advertisements in PDF format.

    We urgently need a tool that allows us to view the entire magazine as a whole.

    Bridge could serve this purpose if it were able to display all pages from InDesign files and allow us to manipulate and move them as needed across the entire magazine.

    Adobe Bridge could then be able to send this magazine structure for export and instruct InDesign on the position of each page, so that it can adjust the page numbers accordingly.

18. Automatic detection of colors with values in all CMYK plates

    Background:
    For DTP, the color mode must be CMYK. Therefore, RGB black (#000000) is converted to CMYK. This CMYK black color has a value in all CMYK plates. We fix this to K100.

    Request:
    A function that automatically detects colors with values in all CMYK plates. It is best added to the preflight profile. It will greatly help the user.

    Japanese:
    全てのCMYK版に値を持つ色を自動検出

    背景：
    DTPではカラーモードをCMYKにする必要があります。したがって、RGBの黒（#000000）はCMYKに変換されます。この黒はCMYKの全ての版に値を持つ色です。私たちはこれをK100に直します。

    リクエスト：
    全てのCMYK版に値を持つ色を自動検出する機能。プリフライトプロファイルに追加されるのが最善です。それはユーザーを大いに助けるでしょう。

19. Have the option to use IMAGES for Paragraph: RULES, BORDERS, and SHADING

    Paragraph Rules, Borders, and Shading are all great. They are also all: flat, uniform...boring...

    Sometimes a layout demands stuff that is more...messy. Clients often ask for 'grungy' effects to highlight specific parts of text, and every designer gets what they mean.

    I currently use an anchored image to achieve this, but it's fiddly, and easily broken. It requires scripting or tedious CandP.

    Adding an IMAGE option to Paragraph (and Character?) styles would be brilliant. When I'm working on webpages, I'm using 'background' in CSS all the time.

    https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background.php

    That same flexibility in InDesign (image link, position, size, 9-slicing{?!!}, color modes, etc etc) would transform the print/pdf workflow immensely.

20. Shutterstock watermark alert

    The Shutterstock plugin is a great tool for easy access to the image database. Drag and drop the desirable picture into the lay-out.
