2. Would like to add a separate gradient applied just to text, not related to textframe, just to the word (or any textcharacter)

   I would like to apply a gradient to characters and words only, not related to the textframe in which they are printed.

   If I have one or a few words in a gradient designed, and due to a textedit the word flows to the other (or a previous) line, the gradient appears different than how I designed it.

   At this time it is either only related to the textframe, or I'd have to convert the text to outlines.

   Or, as a workaround I can take the word out, place it in a separate textframe, apply the gradient, and place it as a linked frame in the text. That is way to much work.

   A separate item to make it possible to apply the gradient of choice just to any character (and word) would be very welcome.

3. Export document with specific pages in multiple color spaces

   I do medical journals, and I frequently have clients who request their document in 2 versions: a full color version for online, and a version where some, but not all of the pages are in grayscale for the printer, to save on printing cost.

   It is yes possible to export an entire document converted to a grayscale color space, with some admittedly janky workarounds which it would also be nice to see streamlined.

   But at the moment, what I do for my needs is I have to export a full color version, a separate grayscale version, and then manually collate these together in Acrobat to get the desired PDF. Being able to do this in one step exporting from InDesign would be great. Especially for those of us where manually creating a separate InDesign document devoid of color in some places, when there are sometimes hundreds of figure images, would be very time consuming.

4. Request for Enhanced Document Merging and Pagination Features in InDesign

   We require a streamlined method to merge multiple InDesign documents into a single file. Additionally, whether working on books, magazines, or brochures, we need a tool that can adjust pagination according to the sequence and allow the insertion of PDF files between pages.

   Furthermore, the current Book feature is completely inadequate. It often disrupts styles and damages documents, making it unreliable for professional workflows. We need a more intuitive solution that provides a clear, sequential view of all pages individually, just as they appear in order. This would allow for seamless page management and better control over complex projects.

5. Allow use of Image Blocks in online publishings & Interactive PDFs

   I really want to create a more immersive viewing experience of my 3D designs by using holographic image blocks as an embed in interactive PDF's and/or Online publishing (If you are not aware of this excellent technology you need to check out LookingGlass; https://blocks.glass/). Can we please make this a supported feature?

   At first glance, you might be fooled into believing that it already is as Indesign allows you to insert image blocks as an HTML which works perfectly in the EPUB Interactive preview. The only problem? When you publish the document the image blocks turn into a grey frame with an error message saying that "The content is blocked". The problem seems to be that Adobe currently doesn't support image blocks. I'm no tech expert so I might be mistaken here, but this seems like an easy fix as all you would need to do is allow the content access.

   Please vote this up, as allowing image block embeds in both online publishings, and interactive PDFs if possible, would really enhance the visual experience of 3D elements in publications.

   *I included some screenshots of my testing to give some context.

6. idml with preview pictures required

   I am not sure, couldn't find a solution - so i think its not possible yet.
   Please add function to embedd preview pictures to the idml-file.

   Our need: For distribution to an translation office, we send the idml-file PLUS an PDF to show what the the idml is showing.
   I know - with every more picture info the size is increasing, but with an option to choose "show preview picture in idml" it would be phenomenal.
   All info text+pic in one file would help the recipient to the see the same as you.

   Pictures are mandatory for translation office, as they need to see what you are describing.

7. Enhanced Rendering Intent Options

   Currently, InDesign allows us to set rendering intents for pixel-based images. However, it would be extremely beneficial if this functionality could be extended to vector objects and objects that have a LAB color space.

   Here are the specific enhancements I’m proposing:

   Vector Objects: Provide options to set rendering intents for individual vector objects. This would give users more flexibility in managing the color output of vector graphics within their designs.

   LAB Color Space: Allow users to define rendering intents for objects that have a LAB color space. Given the wide gamut of the LAB color space, this would help ensure more accurate color reproduction.

   Placed PDFs: Enable users to override the rendering intent of placed PDFs. This would be particularly useful when the original rendering intent of the PDF does not match the desired output intent.

   These enhancements would provide users with more granular control over color management, particularly when working with a combination of images and graphics.

8. Change the font size of the page information when printing out a page. This is too small at 6 pt.

   We do thousands of imprints that have all the job number, customer PO and imprint info on the file name. We are converting from qk to indesign. Quark 's title page information uses much larger font and is at the top of the page when printed out which is much more convenient.

   We want to be able to identify the document quickly!

9. bookmark zoom level

   It would be a lifesaver to be able to set the bookmark zoom level in InDesign (whatever it defaults to now, "Fit Page", I think, isn't great for everyone), so that when it exports to PDF you can already have it set to "Inherit Zoom" (or whatever you need) rather than having to manually figure out a way to do it in Acrobat. When you edit the bookmark zoom level in Acrobat, there's not even a way to do it from the InDesign action that's there--you have to basically create a whole new bookmark, redirect it and then set the zoom level, which is a real pain when you get into really long documents.

10. How about fixing InDesign’s Export to EPUB tools?

    How about fixing InDesign’s Export to EPUB tools? Sure, you can convert an InDesign file to EPUB, but it really doesn’t do a complete job. Hanging indents and alignment of lists come in in a very spotty way. The alignments and spacing to hanging indents don’t hold. And then, while straight Roman text converts fairly nicely, when there are switches to italic or boldface text the type tends to get all scrunched up and is not at all presentable. I thought the best part of the ongoing subscription model was that fixes to issue would be forthcoming in a much, much quicker manner than with software updates every year or so. For the most part that’s true. But the continued messy results I mention for the conversion process from InDy to EPUB really needs to be fixed. It’s taking away from InDy’s reputation and use as a professional design and layout tool. I understand that hand-coding CSS can prob’ly remedy this, but I’m long past the stage where I’ve kept up any semblance of coding skills. I’m semi-retired and don’t think it’s too much to ask that InDesign get with the program. (Sorry for the bad pun!)

11. Enlarge maximum image export sizes

    I work for a company which uses InDesign for webtoon-style comic content. These are often extremely long vertical images (10000-20000px is common). When attempting to export to JPG/PNG for processing, InDesign will not process the larger files, claiming that they exceed the maximum size, even at resolutions as low as 200dpi (webtoons typically go online at 350dpi so these images need to be upscaled).

    Exporting to PDF and re-exporting to the relevant image format allows the images to export at size, but often with additional scaling and does not 1:1 match the original pixel size.

    This clearly isn't a limit to the file spec but to the engine.

12. do not overwrite Object Styles when making a group to make it accessible

    When applying different object styles to elements in InDesign, they are "deleted" when I make a group and giving the "group" another object-style (for example: a picture and a text, both have separate object styles - i group them, and then want to give the group an object style that puts it in the right position on my page)
    As soon as I apply the Object style, to the group, the individual object styles are "overwritten". I can manually reapply them in the group, but thats not efficient.
    Especialle to make an accessible PDF, the feature of different Object styles in a group would be very useful, so please consider adding the feature - thanks

14. Print Layout Stacking (as it is in CorelDRAW)

    Imposition control from the Print dialog box (as it is in CorelDRAW) would be a massive time saver for those of us in print shops. I am an Adobe user in a Corel shop and I've been (slowly) working on converting them to Adobe, but this is one feature that keeps the owner going back to Corel for most everything he designs, simply because of the imposition features.

    I'm sure everyone would be happy with this feature.

15. Place Images Behind Text Without Outlines

    Description:
    In Adobe InDesign, there is currently no option to place images behind text without converting the text to outlines or paths. In Photoshop, this is easily achieved using layer masks and clipping masks. It would be highly beneficial to have a similar feature in InDesign, allowing users to place images directly behind text that can still be edited (font, size, and content) without converting it to outlines.

    Benefits for Users:

    Increased flexibility and efficiency when working with text and images
    Ability to maintain the editability of the text (users can continue to adjust font, size, and wording)
    More intuitive design options, especially for users familiar with both Photoshop and InDesign
    Reduces the need for complex workarounds and saves time by allowing direct, flexible adjustments to text and image placement
    Feature Suggestion:
    Introduce a new option allowing users to use text as a transparent "mask" through which an underlying image layer is visible. This could be implemented as a "Layer Mask" or "Image Mask" feature, functioning similarly to clipping masks in Photoshop.

16. Fix 'manual bookmark' position

    I'd love the ability to fix the position of a manually created bookmark in relation to all the TOC bookmarks which are all in the same panel, so that they don't shift around every single time you update the TOC. It is frustrating to have to move them around in a 80+ page document.

    Alternatively, would love to be able to easily stop a specific bookmark from appearing in the automated TOC but allowing it to appear in the interactive PDF.

    Finally, I'd love the bookmark palette or interface to be bigger, it's a little painstaking to try to drag & drop them to correct places as the scrolling view has a mind of its own sometimes.

    Thanks!

17. 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.

19. Footnotes: ability to cite multiple references to a footnote, with appropriate tagging for accessibility

    Each new instance of a footnote added in InDesign gets a sequential number – but authors and copywriters expect to be able to insert multiple references to the same numbered footnote. For example, a bank might want to put a single asterisk against multiple references to ‘interest rate’, with one corresponding footnote at the end to explain what 'APR', or 'EAR' means. So I’d like a new feature to be added that would, at the point of inserting a footnote, give the option to cite an existing one that’s already in the document. In an exported accessible PDF, there would be more than one <Reference> tag, each containing the same number, with corresponding <Note> tags containing the same footnote text for each.

20. 3 new features for web address problems - a major problem in modern textual books

    In textual books there now can be hundreds of web addresses used within the text and references. There is a major problem with them in the fact that in justified text they can cause:
    (a) widely spaced lines
    (b) InDesign can insert discretionary hyphens to try to split the address to make the word spacing better (which means that when printed the web address would be wrong for the reader as it has hyphens that shouldn't be there).

    The only workaround at the moment for this is to remove the discretionary hyphens by either hitting a return in its place, or inserting the Discretionary Break character to help InDesign find places to break the web address.
    These, however, are not work arounds because the Break character or return means that in a PDF the link will not work as it sees these characters even if the reader doesn't. Even if you use the Hyperlink Panel in InDesign you would have to remove any discretionary hyphens or break characters from within the Hyperlink panel window for it to work.

    All this is extremely time-consuming.

    SOLUTIONS
    (1) New Website Character Style. If InDesign could have a special character style for web addresses so that when applied it would mean that no discretionary hyphens can appear, but the web address can split on any character.
    (2) New Website Break Character. If InDesign could have a break character for web addresses that is not seen by Acrobat or the Hyperlink Panel in InDesign so that you can split websites wherever you want without them losing their link in PDFs.
    (3) When a web address is very long and goes over several lines, it means that there will be lines with no word spaces. InDesign does not know what do and it will leave the lines short. If the Web Address Character Style could also feature a way of making the lines go to the full text measure but without too much letter spacing or scaling would be a big aid too.

    If the above solutions were made there would be no more problems in InDesign with web addresses. Remember that web addresses are being used more and more in books and interactive PDFs and this problem is only going to get bigger and bigger.

    Please could you find a solution if you don't like mine!
