1. 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.”

2. 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.

3. Faster Form Field Workflow - Batch Editing, Fields List Panel, Faster Renaming

   Need the ability to select multiple form fields to edit their input appearance in batch. Bare minimum we need a list of fields in a panel, similar to Acrobat.

   Couldn't get Acrobat to recognize table fields in a form I made with InDesign, so I converted the cells to graphic cells and made them text form fields. But then I could only select one at a time to edit their names, choose font, etc.

   Working on forms with a lot of fields takes a lot of clicks as it stands now. A panel with all fields would allow faster renaming and editing. Allowing edits of multiple fields would be a huge speed boost.

4. 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.
   Automatic and bulk reference updating..
   Search, read & review PDFs in your library.)
   PLEASE CONSIDER ADDING. Do not want it for incopy, or to import from Word, but to layout DIRECTLY in Indesign when creating papers/writing grants, theses for graduate students, etc. This is a HUGE need. Please consider.

6. Share for review – the necessity of an output preview

   For a long time in the printing industry, we did our copies to print with low-resolution PDFs that we send directly to our customers by e-mail. The advantage of this method is that for other participants in the graphic industry, we can show how the documents we received will be processed, thanks to the output preview.

   Since most printers don't necessarily print complex layouts and we are concerned with ensuring the quality of the files we receive, I was a little disappointed to see that this aspect of print control was not available in the current version of "Share for review" making it not that interesting for us to use.

   I don't know if this feature will be integrated, but I think it's a must-have.

7. Create paragraph style from manual formatting and apply to all text with the same formatting

   A common task is converting manual text formatting to a paragraph style. It would be great if there were a way to do this automatically.

   For example, suppose I was given a LONG document in which Helvetica 12pt text is the body style, but no actual paragraph style exists for this—all the formatting is manual.

   The current best way to solve this problem is to perform a Find/Change operation for all text formatted as Helvetica 12pt and replace it with my paragraph style for "body text." This works but is tedious, especially when there are many styles in the document, and all the formatting options have to be manually selected.

   It would be much better if there were an option, presumably in the paragraph styles panel menu, to automatically:

   1. Create a new paragraph style based on the formatting of the selected text
   2. Search the document for all text formatted in the same way
   3. Apply the paragraph style to each of those paragraphs

   A real time-saver!

   Would be ideal if this feature could detect character style exceptions (variations in italics, color, weight) and extract/apply those as well.

8. Two requests

   I need my drop shadows to stay in place as intended when I rotate my images. I have to keep adjusting the position of shadows every time. Also, underlines are deleted when converting text to outlines. This is a major issue. I've had many jobs having to add jobs manually when converting to outlines.

9. Ability to create a custom Glyph

   I need to insert in text symbols that appear on products - I have the symbols as an image which can easily be converted into bitmap/eps or whatever is needed in Photoshop.
   It would be nice to be able to great a custom Glyph set and create your own library of regularly used symbols - I have about 200 of them from the technical writing I do. Inserting them and getting them to "stay put" is very time consuming and it would-be much easier if they worked just like putting in a symbol from a wingdings font or similar. It would also mean that if you changed font size the glyph would also change.

   It's a problem thats becoming more acute for me as more and more buttons on products are becoming symbol only due to globalisation of products is happening (same product to all markets.) A couple of the ones I need regularly are attached. It would also make getting these into a table which is often 14 columns by up to 200 rows with a symbol in each cell so much easier to format and resize to use else where. I regularly work at 8pt for small printed books and 12 pt for ebooks. No matter what you do with hem as graphic they do not scale well.

10. 6 simple updates to make 'Publish Online' better

    An open request to Adobe to address at the following:

    1. Customisable links, based off user profile and document title. The current lengthy lines of jumbled letters do not look professional when sending to clients.

    2. Password protected links. Since we're forced to publish on Adobe's cloud, at least give the ability to encrypt the link so it can't be forwarded on. Extra feature here (like frame.io) would be to require the viewers email to view so the author can get data and verify who is viewing the document.

    3. Make it possible to preview a gif loop while designing instead of the current need to publish and wait and republish each time a gif sequence needs to be reviewed.

    4. Make it possible to choose the gif thumbnail that becomes the still image when a client decides to download an offline version.

    5. Make it easy, and elegant to embed and play audio. If it's possible to embed gifs it's strange to me that an audio file of a similar size cannot be inserted and played directly off the document. The player is clumsy and dated, the "play triangle" icon is also old and limiting.

    6. Full screen on mobile - there's no way to look at the full pdf without the URL bar hovering on top, taking up a lot of screen space. Please fix.

    • Why are these valuable to me? For the past 3 years I have moved all my presentations to 'publish online' and it has become the industry standard (tv commercial pitches). In these 3 years I've seen no updates or improvements, and the requests above are quite basic (security, customisability, functionality). It feels a lot like this product has been overlooked or abandoned!

    Include pictures of where these tools or paths are located. Maybe a convertable word search that offers suggestions of the proper terminology to give the user more ideas on how to search for what s/he is looking for. Insert non-tech terms/definitions using common words and not only geek-speak.

17. Ability to change default settings for new index entries

    The ability to change the default settings for new index entries would solve my problem.

19. lace Images Behind Text Without Outlines (Layers like Photoshop)

    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.
