6 simple updates to make 'Publish Online' better
An open request to Adobe to address at the following:
Customisable links, based off user profile and document title. The current lengthy lines of jumbled letters do not look professional when sending to clients.
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.
Make it possible to preview a gif loop while designing instead of the…

Make tutorials easier for newbies to understand
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.

View tab> Select View Side by Side> Synchronous Scrolling
Please add Synchronous Scrolling to Acrobat. We use PDFs to proof our InDesign documents. The Compare docs in Acrobat doesn't work because it eventually stop syncing and the pages are not side by side.

The ability to apply L tags and Li to one paragraph style or as a nested tag
When creating accessible pdfs you can apply tags which is great but when you apply list tags it would be good to able able to apply the overall L tag by either adding to the style itself or give the ability to nest the Li tag

Ability to change default settings for new index entries
I use the I use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Alt-Shift-[ to add new index entries. But it defaults to "current page" and I don't want that because my document will be converted to ePub, and e-books don't have fixed pages. I want the default to be "next # of paragraphs: 1."
The ability to change the default settings for new index entries would solve my problem.

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.

A way to chose where you would like to save your links, INDD file, etc when "packaging" a file.
When working on projects with multiple large books, we would appreciate a way to "package" a file, yet save all of the links for each book in a Master Links Library folder, fonts in a Master Fonts Library folder, and PDFs in a designated folder.
Additionally, it would be awesome if there was a way to preflight a file and ensure that all links are linking to a specific master links folder.

Copy-Paste takes very long
Kopieren und Einfügen von Elementen innerhalb eines Indesign-Dokuments oder zwischen Indesign-Dokument dauert sehr lange. Egal ob es große oder winzige Bilder, große PDFs oder einfach mehrere Textrahmen und Flächen sind: es gibt immer einen Lade-Ball. Dieses Problem besteht schön länger und ist mit einer früheren Indesign-Version aufgetaucht und seitdem immer so. Vor 10 Jahren war ich mit solchen einfachen Copy-Paste Aktionen deutlich schneller.

Force / open in full screen view when user views the online document
As can be achieved with standard PDFs, I think it would be useful to have a 'force full screen' option with a pop up warning that says page is requesting full screen - allow or not.
Many documents with heavy content almost 'need' to be fullscreen for the best viewing experience.
This option would remind the user that full-screen is best, but with the pop-up box that allows them to continue in the current window size.

QR code for EPC/Sepa cannot be generated in indesign
I do not understand why, but plain text qr codes for EPC/Sepa are not correct when generated in indesign. They cannot be scanned from the bank apps.

A workflow for properly exporting a dual colour-profiled document
Having both RGB and CMYK in swatches is a great advantage if you want to have a single document exported both to screen and print - but it turned out to be a swatch mess... what about a way to acknowledge similar colors as "equivalents" so we could replace entire document swatches from RGB>CMYK (or the other way around) when this export is needed? changing them individually will eventually cause mistakes.
and what about replacing entire link library from RGB>CMYK in order to export proper colours? I converted them and assigned all of their profiles in PS but now…1 vote -
Preflight profile to target certain problem fonts
Would be nice to have a preflight profile or be able to customize a preflight profile to target certain fonts that are used in linked pdfs from customers. We Use Enfocus to process art and whenever Customers use Free or unlicensed versions of a certain font it causes Enfocus server to crash. Identifying these fonts when first placed in indesign would save our designers and printers time and many headaches. I do get warnings every once in a while, but it doesn't catch all of them. A preflight profile as a secondary check would be most helpful.

Please give us option to ADJUST SPACE BETWEEN PAGES.
I've always used PDFs when sending clients proofs but thought I'd give the Share for Review a try. I was surprised by the small amount of space between pages, with no way to increase it. I regularly send multiple design options to clients and that small space/gap between pages makes it difficult since they all seem to blend together (the eyes don't get much of a break between options). Unfortunately, this will keep me from using the Share for Review feature so I hope you decide to add an option to adjust spacing. Thank you.
