1. InDesign Encoder

   Hi fellows and Adobe Community?

   I work every day on Adobe softwares like Photoshop Illustrator InDesign and also on Premiere Pro and After Effect.
   Today, I would like to point something and I let you join this conversation and leave comments.

   One thing I really appreciate with Premiere and After, is that I can still work on my projects while I'm exporting videos or animations in Media Encoder. One thing I don't really like using InDdesign, is that when I'm doing an export file, PDF or JPG or whatever, I cannot keep going work in InDesign.

   Hey Adobe crew. Is there any upgrade or development scheduled for InDesign to implement the same kind of extension as Media Encoder is for Premiere and After?

   This would be really nice to put the files we want to export, in a list and keep working on our other projects.

2. Collaborating on translating

   Hi everyone! First I have to say I love all the new features that are slowly being integrated into InDesign. But in all my honesty I really miss one..

   We now can enjoy Share for review which I really love on getting comments from my clients. But what I would love to have is a online tool where my colleagues can enter translation for the file I worked on. Now I export files to pdf and make them in to a word file but that workflow takes a lot of time.

   I know tools like redokun.com but they are expensive and have limited page restriction for the smaller account.
   So like an online tool like share for review would be great for my colleagues that don't now how to use InDesign...

   With kind regards,
   Martin from the Netherlands!

3. Nesting bookmarks trought multiple files within an InDesign book

   I would like to be able to nest bookmarks by creating, for example, a nest of bookmarks in one file and then in another file (which is still part of the book) using the same name assigned to the bookmark nested in the previous file, so that I can continue to insert content within the same nest.
   The result would be = 1 large group containing all the bookmarks I am interested in.

   This could be done by taking a cue from the variant/variable renaming system that currently exists in Figma.

   For example, if I want to put the bookmark ‘Spruce’ in the ‘Trees’ folder (which is, however, in a different file within the InDesign book), but at the moment I am in a different file, if I write in the rename space: Trees/Fir, InDesign creates a group between the two and when I export the pdf file I already find the bookmarks ready to be clicked on.

4. Make embedded video readable in Adobe Reader as before

   For many years InDesign has given us the feature to embed video in PDFs. We built a business round this format. Now, with the demise of Flash Player, all our ebooks with embedded video (not Flash content) are not usable by the customers who have bought them over past years, all round the world. We pay no small sum to use InDesign and CS. You have given us this format, which still exists, yet you won't update Adobe Reader with a media player to play the resulting files. How difficult can this be? Other formats exist, yes, but none of them do the same job and they all have problems either with monetization or delivery, so we as a business are in a catastrophic situation. Shame on you Adobe for abandoning your customers of so many years. It makes no sense on many levels, including marketing. Adobe Reader with a media player creates an entry point to Adobe products for many people. You are so missing the point here.

5. Cover page for printing book should have their own setup by default to reduce confusion

   I having issue seriously with page numbers. If its 38pp but in my pages box, shows 34pp example. Why do i need to get confused here?

   I think indesign perhaps should have an option where I can right click and say page 1 and 2 is the cover, than the last two page is also a cover. Page number doesnt change, instead, right click and select it as book covers and boomz.

   So confusing when i exported it shows 34pp in pdf preview, and indesign shows 32pp. So yeah. That could be one feature adobe team can seriously look into. Instead of renaming the pages, why not FC is for front cover etc.

   Why i suggest? Because i forget my indesign show 30pp but actually front cover and inner front cover is 1 and 2, and my third page was renamed as page 1, did this so the page numbers start as 'pg 1' etc on page 3. T_T Confusing. HAhaha. Sorry but yeah. Hope this help.

7. File handling behaviour

   I would like indesign to First, look in its resident (root) folder for fonts and links, then look in subfolders (ie packed folders "fonts" & "Links") and only then, if it cannot locate them, go looking in the folders defined as "original links folder" or "most recent links folder".
   I would like this to apply to both opening a file and to saving the file and exporting files (pdf etc)
   and if this cannot be a default behavior, then I'l **** it to be an optional behavior.

   Why?
   because when I package a file I want the indesign file to use the packaged resources.
   because when I copy the whole folder to experiment on a file I do not want to find out later that indesign has been working with the original links which should not be altered (because client has approved them)
   Because after experimenting on the file and deciding to run with the new version, I overwrite the old links file only to find that I am destroying all the work just completed.

8. Add comments from InDesign to reviewer using Share for Review

   It seems like owners of documents can only reply to existing comments made in the Share for Review document but can't create comments in InDesign that appear in the Share for Review document. Often, we have a question about text or images that the reviewer needs to answer, but we have to first Share for Review and then create the comment there. It would be great if we could convert InDesign Notes to comments for the reviewer that they can see in the Share for Review side panel.

9. Bug: XML w/Images Export (filename)

   Just discovered during XML w/images export that ID is converting images w/spaces in filenames to underscores (causing mismatches, XML itself is correct) — is this a bug? Using ID 13.0.1

   Btw - I know this is a feature request post, but I can't find an easy way to submit bugs!

10. InDesign Review saving all the versions

    I really have to prove that I made (25) revisions but I don't want to make PDFs. Is there a way for InDesign Review app able to save all the versions without 'Saving As' and creating another and sometimes huge memory file?

11. When creating hypertext links, please add the ability to configure the link to open in a new browser window.

    Many of the PDFs I create are opened and viewed via Web browser. It's annoying to the user -- and takes them away from our content -- when they click on a link and the link opens in the same browser tab.

12. reorder bookmarks

    Let's say we have a document 40 pages long. The usefulness of all 40 pages vary because of end-user knowledge.
    As such,
    Master users will preferably only read 5 out of those 40 pages.
    Experienced will read 15 pages
    Intermediates 30 pages
    First time users 40 pages.

    Now this already is possible with a plug-in, but I fail to understand why Adobe don't see plug-ins as a clear sign that users want / need the functionality.

    Ok, what would be great is being able to script a user end button that calls the sort bookmarks function. The PDF would already have bookmarks on the pages that needed to be put together.
    But if a "master" then clicks the "master" button, the script reorders the specific pages and puts those exact 5 pages in the beginning of the document.

    In short... a scripted button made on design level, but active on user-end.

    Like I said, this is already possible with purchasable scripts, but it really should be built in in InDesign or atleast in Acrobat.

    Same goes for the other types of users.

13. Hold Alt when dragging from Bridge/Explorer/Finder to pop the 'Import options' dialogue for that file placement

    QoL improvement - would allow you to skip using the menu interface when you just want to set PDFs/AI to include bleed or not - or when you want a specific page or layer from a paginated or layer file type.

14. Automatic back-linking to endnote source in text

    At the moment, endnotes in exported pdfs are hyperlinked to the endnote page, but there is no "round-trip" backlink from the endnote entry number back to the point of origin in text - as there is in exported epub documents.
    This would be a very useful feature!

15. Defining areas and automating rotation of those areas.

    I publish a paper that has content down the middle and 16- 2x3 ads in frames on the sides.(8 ads on left and 8 on right). Same goes for the opposite side of the paper. I rotate the ads each week so my clients get exposure all over the paper. I publish in several areas so I am manually rotating these ads each week and it takes a lot of time. It would be a HUGE time saver if I could automate this function based on my preset parameters. At the click of a button the ads all move to their new locations. Even if it got them close but I still had to nudge them to their precise spot....just the action of them moving to the new area would literally save me a ton of time. I am a new user trying to move all of my files from QuarkXpress 8. So far I am very impressed with I am learning and how many things ID can do that QE cannot. Thank you for consideration. I am attaching a pdf of what my publication looks like.~Andy

    Add the following features to Buttons and Forms Format menu.
    Options: Alignment - Left, Right, Center, and Default Value.
    Format: Number, Percentage, Date, Time and Special - Zip Code, Phone Number..

17. Scroll through placed multi-page PDFs or InDesign documents within InDesign

18. Combine Enhance Scanned File with AI

    I have a very large scanned pdf of a document that was typed with an old typewriter. I am transferring it all to InDesign and the quality of the text when I copy and paste from the scanned document is awful which is making me have to retype large chunks.
    It would be very powerful to use AI to test the text and make sense of it rather than the current output which is mostly garbage.
    And when I use the spell suggester, it comes out with such random suggestions which bear no relation to the actual spelling of the word - no context is taken in to the suggestions. Also, the number of times it suggests covid and brexit are ridiculous.
    This whole area of InDesign could be massively improved.
    Thank you.

    Example:
    “ Well I agree about that, he ,.,alk3 vri. th tho ca.””’Oful,
    M”a.surecl tread of a ,,a--itber oi􀎐 a tiger stoJJring the jungle, that ‘a
    just what atru.ok me e.bout h:im. “
    When the original says:
    “Well I agree about that, he walks with the careful, measured tread of a panther or a tiger stalking the jungle, that’s just what struck me about him.”

19. Include bit depth (8/16/32 bits per channel) as an item to be included in the Links panel (or at least in the Info panel).

    I know that bit depth is included in XMP File Info but as this panel is modal (and overly high) it is tedious to fetch this information from there. It would be convenient to have both in Links and Info panels. Possibly these panels could be updated with other useful data, too,. This is useful as HDR is becoming increasingly popular, and while PDFs can include 32-bit images, I'd imagine they are problematic in press.

20. Add Clarivate Endnote for Indesign - Dynamic - work straight from indesign itself

    No need to tell Adobe that MS Word is NOT the way to layout text and graphics, but academia is stuck using MS Word because Adobe does not have support for Endnote software. Indesign endnote features can't compete with the specific capability of the Endnote software. (Search loads of online resources for your references.
    Access to full text research articles.
    Access your research from the cloud.
