1. 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.

2. Snap Frame to Letterforms

   Please add an option to align text frames by the actual letterforms instead of the font’s bounding box.

   InDesign currently uses the em-box and sidebearings, which means misaligned text when trying to align separate text boxes that contain different styles or type sizes. This makes precise alignment for headings/subheads really frustrating.

   Illustrator already allows bounding boxes that hug glyphs more tightly, so it feels like a big gap in InDesign.

   Proposed solution: Add a toggle or context menu option (e.g. “Snap Bounding Box to Text” or “Align to Glyph Edges”) so users can switch between:

   Align to Frame (current behavior)

   Align to Glyph Edges (new option)

   This would save huge amounts of time and eliminate clunky workarounds like converting text to outlines, using proxy rectangles, or constantly drawing new guides and nudging objects.

3. Interactivity, LIVE while using InDesign - Object States and Buttons that work at ANY time - ala AE 'Essential Graphics'

   Interactivity, LIVE while using InDesign - Object States and Buttons that work at ANY time - ala AE 'Essential Graphics'.
   There is the potential for InDesign to be a powerful QC authoring tool in our industry. We apply technical charts over the images which designers have created, like pitch/checker-decks. We need many different aspect ratios but repetition of the overlays and much of the info. We previously had over 90 layers the user would need to make visible or invisible - this is tedious and antithesis of good UX.
   Essential Graphics in AfterEffects is somewhat close to the idea we seek.
   InDesign is ALMOST there with ObjectStates, but these also require layer selection and a chunky workflow.
   Wiring ObjectStates to Buttons and Forms is exciting - but does not work in the ACTUAL INDD DOCUMENT - so it's not a solution.
   There's so many clever ways to solve the problem by building custom control panels with the Interactivity, but none of that function is available INSIDE OF InDesign - and exporting to EPUB/PDF is useless because we need to drop dozens of images into the pages.
   There's a precious chasm that sits between InDesign and XD that could be bridged - find some way of EMPOWERING AUTOMATION, allowing the creation of better/custom UI/UX, which builds better tools for the creators, not just end user product for display.
   This is valuable because it extends the function of InDesign to become more of a tool for making tools for others, rather than just a tool to make static, re-baked product.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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!

10. 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.

    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.

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.

20. Changes to the tab order interface - make it work like layers pallet

    It would be great if the tab order box that allows you to reorder their order could function like the layer pallet - allowing you to simply drag the order up and down as required while the document remains active.

    This would allow complex interactive pdfs to have fields added and reordered with ease.
