1. No transition effects to assist loading pages with identical backgrounds.

   By default Publish online introduces a fade on page load even when there are no transitions applied in InDesign. This interferes when you use multiple pages to spoof the appearance of navigating within a one-page environment.

   When I export to PDF the background isn't redrawn so the appearance of the linked page appears smoothly. Publish Online is clunky when loading the next page as it momentarily goes black and then fades-in the page items.

   A bit of background .... I've created a page with a number of rollover buttons, then a duplicate of that page which is navigated to (x10) upon click release, to act as a navigable table of links for sections of a company assessment with one of our clients.

2. Animated InDesign icon in Apple Doc

   When I print documents on a laser printer using the menu item "Print", the InDesign program icon in the Apple Doc is animated. You can see exactly what the progress is with an animated bar. It would be great if this animated progress bar could also be seen when exporting to PDF. Also as the sum of all background processes. THANK YOU!

4. Preferences | Spelling... Add Find Option to Ignore Check Spelling on Master Pages and Pasteboard

   Please add an option under Preferences | Spelling... Add Find Option to Ignore Check Spelling on Master Pages and Pasteboard.

   This should be a Preferences feature under Spelling that can be turned on and off. I see that other people have asked for a similar feature so it's definitely a popular ask.

   I'm a design professional and I create and use templates for a large corporation's various product marketing teams. Even with the best editors typos will slip through so it would be nice to be able to run a quick spell check on a document. Unfortunately, a quick spell check on a document with 4 or 5 Master Pages is not quick. And, the hack of selecting all the text on the master and making it have no language is not an option in a production environment because the templates need to have paragraph styles applied to the placeholder text on the master pages so that even a junior level designer is able to quickly assess and use the template.

6. Split and even out footnotes in a two column layout

   We work on academic books, and academics love footnotes. When working with a two-column layout, the footnotes of each column appear at the bottom of that column. So far so good. But when there are a lot of footnotes things get messy, one column can be 50% filled with footnotes and the column next to it can have only 1-2 lines of footnotes (or even none). This doesn't look particularly nice.

   We are wondering if there is a way to even them out?

   I know it is possible to set the footnotes in one-column, but that doesn't look good. Would it however be possible to sever the link between the footnotes and the columns in such a way that the footnotes of one text frame are evened out over two columns. This would mean that if in the first column there are 15 footnotes and in the second column there are 5, they are middled in such a way that on the bottom of each column you have 10 footnotes. This would mean that not all footnotes would appear below the column in which they are invoked (since they can also be send to the other column of the same textframe) but they do appear on the same page. This will bother no-one and it will look a lot better.

   For examples of what I mean, please see: https://forums.adobe.com/message/10939451

7. Allow alignment of an object to two guidelines that I create, instead of to the page or other objects

   When trying to align text or an object to a box or area that is not aligned to the center of the page - allow me to create guidelines (drag out from side of ruler) to the edges of the box or area and select the guidelines and the text or object and align the text or object to the center of the guidelines.

8. Endnotes used to be simpler

   The new endnote feature is a disaster. Please allow discrete numbering for each chapter. I can't seem to be able to restart each chapter at superscipt 1. I am creating a 400-page book that has to be in sections for editing purposes. Not only am I renumbering superscripts and then endnotes for each chapter, but who knows what will happen when I assemble the whole thing with endnotes at the end. Preliminary testing with a few chapters is somewhat comforting, but I remain sceptical.

9. Improvement Indesign Accessibility Features

   I use Indesign to create accessible PDFs but there are a few features that should be there.

   TABLES
   Automatic Header Column and Header Row tagging. At the moment Header Column is recognized but not Header Row. If this was implemented you could go a step further and add ID tags and scope automatically. This would be a huge time saver since this all has to be done manually in Acrobat. It would also be nice to have an option to specify the Title of the table as a caption tag.

   FOOTNOTES
   At the moment you have to add the proper tags manually and move them to the proper place.

   LINKS
   Please add an Alt tag area when creating a link. Even word has that.

   ARTIFACTS
   For some reason even when you tell an object to be an Artifact in InDesign, it still comes out as an untagged element. This is a huge time sucker especially when it comes to large publications. Having to go through the Content pane in Acrobat marking unmarked elements is a pain! All lines, rules, and shading should automatically be marked as an artifact by Indesign.

   ARTICLES
   When you export a file to PDF and tell the Articles panel to Use the Reading Order in Tagged PDF, you still have to select all pages in Acrobat and tell it to Use Document Structure.

   TABLE OF CONTENTS
   Telling your TOC to use proper TOC tags. I don't understand why this is not built into InDesign already.

   Thanks for listening,
   Shane

10. FORM - COMB, order, styles

    Primarily, for me, is the painstaking task of setting "comb of" characters, and even worse setting the right tab order.

    Panel for setting tab order in InDesign, under Object>Interactive is horrible. It is too small, height-wise, and does not function well all the time. Often it happens to "jump". I get nr. 47 after 46, but it jumps before 46.

    I sometimes have over 70 form fields to sort on a single page and it is taking too much time and patience to set it right.

    If you could work on that tab order panel, make it larger, and give it "order by name" button, it would be a huge help.

    Making styles available for form fields would be incredible.

12. Restore the page overlay display in the print dialog.

    I previous version of InDesign and the initial releases of InDesign 2017, you could see quite clearly what would print on the selected sheet size. In the latest update as of Aug 2017, if I change a sheet from letter to legal that has been printed previously, letter is still selected in the dialog, but due to the preview sheet being legal and cannot see that there is a size mismatch without going through the individual dialogs. For reference, the portion of the document that would not be within the printable region showed as a different shade of grey, whereas the entire preview now shows white.

13. updates only on modified pages of publications indesign

    When I place one multi-page publication of an indentation in another (for example, I put pages of other publications in a catalog), it would be convenient if, on some pages, the pages where the changes were updated were updated, and not the entire document as it is now.

14. Synchronize footnote settings in books and number across document

    Regarding using books and footnotes: I really, really wish the footnote settings were something you could synchronize when synching your book. Also, I wish there was an option to continue numbering throughout the individual documents. Currently, if you do not have your whole document threaded, it will restart the footnote numbering, so I have to set it to restart numbering at each page (or section).
    I frequently have books with a dozen different chapters and would like the footnotes to number sequentially within each chapter; and it would be one less thing to remember to edit if the document footnote settings would synch across all chapters in the book.

16. Make UI Scaling NOT affect document scaling

    The recently-added UI Scaling feature also scales the size my document is displayed! Why?? When I type command-1 to view my document at actual size, I expect an 8.5 x 11 page to be that size on the screen. But if I increase the scale of the UI (tools, pallets, etc.) it also increases the "actual size" scaling of my document so it's much bigger than it should be. So, in other words, the UI scaling should NOT affect the scaling of the document rulers; 1" should always be displayed at 1".

17. Export to gif from InDesign - feature request

    PLEASE ALLOW EXPORT TO GIF FOR INDESIGN ANIMATIONS.

    I can't work out why this feature exists if we can't export it. I design google ads, web banners, EDMs etc in multiple formats with fast turnaround, in IND. But can't export a gif despite animations teasing me with all the cool things it could do.

    The best I can do is duplicate a page, flash something or duplicate 18 steps and export as jpg then stack & animate as frames in Photoshop (or create from scratch in Photoshop and use the comet tool, but that can be annoying to try to match perfectly or marry in with the other InDesign formats if designing an EDM) either option adds SO MUCH TIME.

    I'm aware of two dodgy ways to do this, one using an extension that isn't Adobe verified and costs more than my adobe suite COMBINED, which is already expensive. The other is to screen record it but that's tedious too, having to perfectly crop the screen recording isn't a great solution for high volume designs or multiple revisions.

    I got so excited with the new update toting new format compatibility, alas, this wasn't gif.

    Auto column lines for text boxes.

    Lines between columns, with varying widths, colours, styles (single, double etc, dots/dashes etc). Same options available for the outer box key line.. All can be individually adjusted, switched off etc.

    And different colours for column backgrounds, with offsets. Like alternating fills work in tables, but in normal text boxes. Allow unique colours for each column fillplus transparency/mode options.

19. Edit all Export Tags for all INDDs of a book (INDB) in one place

    In order to export a book to EPUB, I need all export tags (classes) to be perfectly consistent even if the styles they are assigned to aren’t (and deliberately so, which is why they can’t be simply synced via book sync).

    Currently there seems to be no other way than to open “Edit all export tags” from the panel menu in every single INDD of the book (which of course is already a huge progress compared to opening every single paragraph and character style).

    Please let us edit the export tags on book level for all INDDs of a book. Similar things work (well, seem to have been designed to work but sadly don’t under all cirumstances) for TOCs and indexes. The command could sit in the book’s panel menu next to the sync and numbering options (“Edit export tags for all book documents” or the like).

    Thanks!
