1. Highlight Box Behind Text

   This is so commonly used in design, that it even exists in Adobe Express, yet for some reason has never been introduced to InDesign. Instead we have had to create underlines and adjust them, which then needs to be adjusted every time font size is changed.

   I imagine this is not a difficult thing to introduce, and it would be a huge help to so many people within publication design

2. Replace all missing glyphs

   Option in the find replace dialogue to replace all missing glyphs, not just swapping one glyph for another. As far as I know, you have to go one by one throughout a document. The find/replace Opentype feature (text tab hasn't worked for me either.)

4. Re-separating the tool menu

   You combined the tool menu in the right panel, but now I have to scroll down to the align section every time I want to adjust something. In InDesign, I'm mostly creating forms or schedules where I realign things constantly. It was more convenient before. Either put align at the top of the panel, or re-separate the panel. I can't drag align to the top of it either. If I could even just reorganize it, it would be better.

5. Find/Change Panel -> Dockable ?

   I'm struggling with screen estate here (laptop, no other screen) and was wondering about the Find/Change window.

   It's floating on top of everything, like a modal window, but you still can interact with everything underneath.

   So it is basically acting like a panel.

   What I am missing here is an icon + the option to dock it and hide and show when needed.

   It is quite a large panel so it very often hides things (results, context) under it.

   What about 3 things :
   1. "make it a (real) panel", don't change design quick and dirty, but already solves the result display visibility issue.
   2. make it fit the thinner panel size by putting all the find/replace buttons at the bottom
   3. make it thinner and put all the find/replace buttons at the top, so we focus on search + text mainly and the buttons don't move from less/more options.

   Attached :
   - Old version hiding the results
   - Mockup for option 2 with buttons at the bottom.

6. Multiple paragraph/character style sheets

   When selecting more than one paragraph of text that therefore uses multiple paragraph styles, instead of saying (mixed) at the top of the styles palette, it would be really helpful if it could highlight which actual paragraph styles were in use. 'Multiple' is of no use - I can see there are multile styles just by looking at it!

7. Show description text when choosing existing document to update.

   The Publish Online feature has been really useful for my company--we create brochures for specific clients or potential clients, and provide them access to the electronic version of the brochure.

   Most of our brochures are based on a single template, but are altered slightly to meet the needs of the specific client. We always enter a fairly generic document title in the Document Settings fields of the Publish Your Document Online window, because that title is shown at the bottom of the page when the document is accessed by the end user.

   We then use the "Description" window to capture specific information about the document--like the name of the client it was personalized for, or whether a specific section has been edited from the standard, etc. for this particular document. This means that I have a large number of documents with the same name hosted on Publish Online, but they are all slightly different.

   The problem comes when I want to update a specific one of the hosted documents. In the Publish Your Document Online window, when you choose Update Existing Document, you are asked to select an existing document to update, and are presented with a dropdown window listing all of the documents hosted on Publish Online. However, this window does not show the description information, so there is no way for me to differentiate between any of the documents that have the same name.

   Without this information, in the majority of situations, I simply cannot use the "Update Existing Document" feature. Instead, I have to republish the edited document, and then navigate to the Publish Online Dashboard (which does show the descriptions) and delete the existing version of the document that I just updated.

   This is inefficient, makes the publication analytics inaccurate, and changes the URL of the final document. If our client bookmarked the URL in order to return to the document at a later date, they will now get an error message when they try to follow that bookmark.

   I have attached a jpg that shows the information that I can see when I access the dropdown menu in the "Update Existing Document" window. I have attached another image showing my Publish Online Dashboard including the document titles and descriptions.

10. Do not like the new endnote feature. There needs to be an option to disable it when importing Word documents.

    Endnotes needs an option to be disabled when importing long Word documents. Minimally, it needs an option to run-on the endnote text at the end of the document and dissociate the reference marker with the note text so that both can be formatted with the rest of the document.

11. Placed pdf loses interactivity features and accessibility tags.

    When PDFs are placed into an InDesign layout and then the entire layout is exported to PDF, the placed PDFs are converted to <Figure> tags in the final PDF.

    There are many time when designers must incorporate an existing PDF into their documents, such as:

    -- Multi-page PDF of an existing document.

    -- A pre-made PDF AcroForm

    -- In annual reports, an official letter from a president, commissioner, or other authority.

    -- In financial reports, the required letter from the accounting firm as well as the financial balance sheets.

    In these above cases, the placed PDFs are official documents that can't be rebuilt in InDesign. They are already in the PDF format, accessible, and with other interactive features such as hyperlinks or form fields.

    But at this time, all of that is lost and the PDF becomes a static <Figure> with unreadable and inaccessible text. Alt-text is limited to 200-300 characters, so it can't be used to describe, for example, the pro-forma letter from the accounting firm that did the organization's audit.

    Suggested solution:
    As the designer is placing the PDF into the layout, they need to select whether a) the PDF is a graphic, or b) the PDF is a live document with interactive and accessibility features that must be maintained.

    If a) then it's correct to be tagged as <Figure> in the resulting PDF (this is what we now have).

    If b) then it must retain the live text, <Tags>, hyperlinks, buttons, and form fields and pass this information into the resulting PDF.

    We find this situation a lot in government, academic, nonprofit, and corporate publications. See a recent post in the Adobe Community Forums at https://community.adobe.com/t5/InDesign/Export-issue-Placed-interactive-PDF-then-exporting-entire-doc-to/m-p/10680659#M157346

    Sure hope this can be done!

    Need More Info  ·  amaarora responded

    Hi,
    What all things would you like PDF to retain? (alt text, tags and what else?)

    Currently when PDF is imported, its imported as a single graphic.

    Would you want the tags and alt text to be mapped to their correct assets in InDesign? and those tags and alt text be also editable from within InDesign after PDF is imported?

    Or should they be remapped and restored once the document with placed PDF is again exported to PDF from InDesign?

    Would want to know more about the proposed solution / workflow

    Thanks

12. Just change one word in the preferences of German InDesign!

    The German word "Textumfluss" is used two times in InDesign but with different meanings:

    Within the preferences "Smart Text Reflow" is "Intelligenter Textumfluss".
    And then there ist the "Text Wrap" panel, which is named "Textumfluss" in German, too.

    So "wrap" gets the same translation as "reflow"? Noooooo! These are two different thing and should not be named the same!

    A better translation for reflow would be "Textumbruch", so please change just one word in the German preferences, from "Intelligenter Textumfluss" to "Intelligenter Textumbruch".

    It's easy to do: just five letters to change! One small piece of code. Done in a minute or less. :-)

    Thanks!

    This issue was fixed in a previous release of InDesign.

13. Produce intuitive result while quad-clicking + pasting replacement text from external source into InDesign on lines with paragraph styling

    Currently this behavior causes the pasted text to adopt the paragraph style of a neighboring paragraph instead of retaining the styling of the replaced paragraph. It is probably not a bug but a feature, I feel needs to be changed so it works more intuitively.

14. Improve the tabs window interface

    No matter what size your text is or how much Iyou zoom in, when you open the tabs window to set or modify tabs, the window is WAY too small, and the little arrows to adjust the tabs WAY too fussy. It's almost impossible to grab the existing tab to move it over or even select it, and you end up creating 4 or 5 new tabs because you're clicking on the ruler trying to select an existing tab. I wait for this to improve with every update. Going in to my 25th year as a graphic designer, and I just don't think it should be this hard to create tabs.

15. Proper export format for Webdesign

    Since Indesign gets all the functionalities for webdesign : effects, objects styles, text and pargraph styles, interactivity, links, tempaltes...
    It would be great to be able to export designs to HTML/CSS in a real and proper way (not the nowadays export).
    Or, an export to PSD, at least.

16. Please make hyphenation an option, NOT the default

    In the Paragraph Panel, hyphenation is selected as the default option, but we know that breaking words across lines lowers readability in text. Please keep it as an option for instances where it's needed, but don't make it the default. When changing it, it should also be universal to a document (in other words, you shouldn't have to click every text box to turn it off).

17. Cascading Character Styles

    A bit like CSS.
    e.g. create a Style to make text Red, and a Style to make text Bold.
    These Styles can be applied individually, or both.
    This allows to make text Red OR Bold + Red AND Bold, with only two Styles.

18. InDesign: convert text to outlines when exporting to PDF

    When exporting a file from Indesign instead of using the Transparency Flattner Presets and then start changing things on the PDF export popup, I suggest to add a checkmark on the PDF export popup - Convert all texts to outlines.

    Itll make it more easy to all of the users, Iam working with Indesign for more than 10 years, each time I installed anew version of Indesign i needed to configure it again and each time I didn't understand why didn't you add this option.

    Thanks,
    Idan

20. Variable for dimensions
