Auto Save and Seamless Crash Recovery
During tight deadlines and rapid delivery cadences, the ability to track down and recover the InDesign file with updates in the event that InDesign crashed is troublesome.

The current process is to track down the document within the path below (link available for more recovery methods) and the probability that all updates are available is in question.

• Mac OS X: Users/[User Name]/Library/Cache/Adobe InDesign/Version[#.0]/InDesign Recovery

https://helpx.adobe.com/in/indesign/kb/indesign-document-recovery.html

However, this raises the need to easier more intuitive access to working files if we do in fact need to embrace the inevitability of crash occurrences. If adobe is not enhancing the InDesign product due to phasing out the product or low prioritization with competing business demands. The enterprise users need to be made aware of this in order to prioritize seeking other similar products that enable us to meet our business demands that require working with InDesign.

Multi-Lingual data handling

This is a suggestion for a new feature for people using InDesign for multilingual purposes.

In India, we may need to use 3 languages at the same time, for example, in addition to English, we may need to use the national language Hindi and the regional language Malayalam, Tamil or some other language. In other countries, sometimes even more.

When we try to make changes to a paragraph or chapter using different fonts in different languages, we often have to select and change even one letter to change the font in each language. This greatly reduces the joy of using character, paragraph styles, etc. and reduces efficiency and output.

Now that the languages of the world are rapidly moving to Unicode, it would be nice if we could address each language separately and make changes to the character style and paragraph style based on the Unicode font spectrum suitable for each language.

I hope I can contribute more ideas to the efforts to meet this global challenge.

Thank you

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 current need to publish and wait and republish each time a gif sequence needs to be reviewed.

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

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.

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!

Make Extracted Shapes 'smarter'

Extract Shapes in InDesign is in essence a good idea, but with a bad execution.
And it has been like that (not so smart, that is) since its inception as the original Shapes app or even now within the Capture app for mobile.

In stead of yielding a directly editable vector based result (with an Illustrator signature) it creates a purely black and white 'graphic' file format, which still needs a lot of handling to e.g. change the color of its vectors.

Suppose I'd like to use the traced outlines of a flower, or the extracted rough structure of bricks, in green, or brown. I can use the Capture app directly on a live photo or image, or apply the Extract Shapes feature inside of InDesign. But the result is a placed Cloud Library item, with no immediate or easy possibility to change its black/white appearance.

In essence, it's a bunch of vectors, but:
- I can't edit it easily as (a group of) vectors inside of InDesign;
- it won't let me edit it through opening the placed item in Illustrator;
- it forces me to accept the result as newly created Cloud Library item;
- but double clicking the Library item won't open it in Illustrator either.

I have to go to Illustrator, whip up a blank file, drag the Cloud Library item into it, copy the vectors to use them in InDesign, or drag them in the Cloud Library as a NEW item, to be used in other applications like InDesign (and edit them anytime in Illustrator).

Why not let this Extracted item simply be or become a vector-based, Illustrator-aware item, and let me maybe choose to paste or even replace it immediately as a group/compound of black and white vectors or to place it as a Library item but with the obvious option to immediately edit the vectors through Illustrator ?

Indesign 2024

To the developers:

I am in charge of a newspaper in the north of Spain, ALERTA. I am considering whether to switch to the new InDesign 2024 following the information from the presentation meeting your company held. It has taken me time to adapt our catalog to your new policy on Type 1 fonts. Once this issue was resolved, and I was able to look at the new features of the new version, I found that some of the things said in that presentation are either false or not entirely true to reality. That story about the new paragraph styles (something that honestly doesn't interest me because we have them well defined for all publications - we are part of a group that also publishes magazines and supplements of different characteristics) I read that it is only available for the North American and German versions. What a genius to leave 600 million people out of the update. My native language is the second in the world in number of speakers, after Chinese and ahead of the languages of India and English. Maybe German is very important for Berna (I have a berner senner). Aside from the irony, what I really want to know is whether what was said there is true. If InDesign 2024 has AI. And I'm only interested for one reason. Your company said this:

"Summarization and Automatic Content Generation.- AI can assist in summarizing lengthy textual content within InDesign documents, creating concise summaries, which saves time and effort for designers. Furthermore, AI-driven tools can automatically generate filler text or placeholder content based on a given theme, allowing designers to quickly visualize the layout."

After much searching and investigating, I believe (I could be mistaken) that the only thing your company has presented as an innovation in the new InDesign with 'AI' is the ability to adapt to the AI tools ChatGPT or Jasper, which we in the media have been already using for some time. Additionally, in my study about whether we should migrate to the new version, I have found, in addition to the problems with Type 1 fonts, issues with the Applescripts that are working perfectly in a previous version. Moreover, you do not offer support for third-party scripts when all of us who are dedicated to editing have our own scripts, meaning, all InDesign scripts are from third parties. Yours are just for tinkering. I see that the developers have opted for Java, something that may be positive, but understand that newspapers and magazines are not going to change what works well simply because someone understands that Java is more consistent and versatile. I also believe that java is better, but that does not mean that Applescript cannot perfectly fulfill certain functions, as it is indeed doing. That is to say, opting for Java and improving its integration should not have meant reducing functionality in Applescript. This is a very serious mistake.

If you confirm that all of the above is true, I only have one doubt left. When you say 'AI driven tools,' what do you mean? Have you developed your own plugins that link with ChatGPT? We have our own techniques for this 'novel' integration. However, I would be interested in trying yours if that is the case.

I am the Editor of a newspaper. I have been working with InDesign since the CS3 version, and we switched from Quark to your application because we understood that Photoshop was the future. We made the right decision and are happy working with Adobe applications, but I believe that your focus has lost its way and is now targeting graphic artists, which is respectable, but leaves companies that publish daily or weekly out of significant innovations. Painters, poets, and acrobats also feature in our pages. But a newspaper is a very serious business that many families depend on.

Remove first line indent after a heading

We need an option to set First Line Indent to zero when a paragraph follows a heading.

For example, perhaps you have Head1, Head2, and BodyText. Head2 is based on Head1. BodyText has a first line indent. My suggestion is that InDesign should have a checkbox labeled "Set first line indent to zero when following:" and then provide a list of paragraph styles in the document.

You could either allow people to choose Head1 AND Head2 (multiple selection list), or you could allow them to choose Head1 and it would automatically apply to Head2 because that is based on Head1.

[ID-4261542] Text variables to include auto numbers

When creating a text variable, it would be great to have it capture the auto numbering, e.g. if the heading is "1. Introduction" and the number is set as an auto number to the paragraph style, then the text variable that references that paragraph style should also pick up the number. At the moment, all you get from the text variable is "Introduction". Or at least have that as an option!

UI – Some Buttons are missing InDesign CC 2020 (OS X)

Hello,

I’ve updated InDesign to the newest version 15.0 (InDesign CC 2020) on OS X.
And some buttons in the top window border are missing like the percent and the GPU rocket.

Is it possible to put these back?! Or do I have to change it anywhere in the menu? Can’t find it.

Best

The InDesign team appreciates your valuable feedback and concerns. These go a long way in helping us make InDesign better for you and update it continuously to cater to evolving user needs. The app bar design was changed as part of these improvement efforts, and will also help us in introducing some modern and exciting functionalities which we have been working on.

While doing this, we have taken care not to remove any existing functionalities which were available in the previous App Bar design. These have only been relocated – either grouped along with similar functionalities (based on results from our user research) or shifted to improve usability (to provide a consistent experience) while working across Creative Cloud apps, especially Photoshop (Ps) & Illustrator (Ai), which are frequently used by InDesign users. We do understand that it takes time & effort in adopting these but we sincerely hope that the value will reveal itself as we work together with you in defining the future of layout & publishing.

__

Here is a list of the re-located functionalities -

Bridge: can now be accessed via “File > Browse in Bridge” – similar to Ps & Ai.
Stock: the search option in the app bar (on the far right) allows you to search assets across Adobe Stock. Stock can also be accessed via “File > Search Adobe Stock”.
GPU options: can now be accessed via “InDesign > Preferences > GPU Performance …” – similar to Ps & Ai.
Zoom levels: are now available at the bottom left of the App window.
Document Bar (on the far left) – similar to Ps & Ai. This location is same as what was available in past versions when users used InDesign without the app bar. Zoom levels can also be controlled through keyboard shortcuts: (Cmd +) or (Cmd -) to help you work faster.
Screen Mode: has now shifted below the Tool Bar (bottom-most icon). It can also be accessed via “View > Screen Mode” – similar to Ps & Ai.
View Options: is now available in proximity to the Screen Mode icon (below the Tool Bar), owing to the similarity of their functions. The drop-down menu showcases corresponding shortcuts for each view option which can enable you to work faster.
Arrange Documents: can now be accessed via “Window > Arrange” – similar to Ps & Ai.

Dependent font sizes

Allow for Character styles to have a font size relative to the underlying Paragraph style by adding and subtracting (or even multiplication and division). A Character style’s font size could be -2 pt or +2 pt for example. If the Paragraph style’s font size is 14 pt, the Character style’s fonts size would result in 12 pt or 16 pt. This is very practical for optical adjustment of different typefaces for example, keeping everything dynamic.

Move "missing links" prompt to before PDF export dialogue.

Please move the "missing fonts" or "missing links" prompts to BEFORE the PDF naming and features preferences. I makes me nuts when navigate to where I'm dropping the final export, then name it, only to have an alert pop up telling me I'm missing something. I should be told that IMMEDIATELY.

Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style

I'd like the option to not add space between paragraphs of the same style, even if those paragraphs have space above or below. Microsoft Word has a checkbox that does this, and it's great for list styles. You can create a list style with space above and below and then check that box so that space only appears before and after the list, not between list items.

In order to achieve the same effect in InDesign, you need three or more styles (one with space above but not below for the first item, one without space above or below for the middle items, and one with space below but not above for the last item). It makes setting documents with lots of lists a real chore.

Dear All,

This feature is now available in latest InDesign CC version. Please upgrade to the latest release.

Table of Contents

Table of Contents styles should be able to take a selected page range, and generate a TOC based on only that page range.

Many books have multiple TOCs these days — a master TOC up front, and TOCs at the beginning of each chapter or section, and often a hidden TOC that is used to generate PDF bookmarks.

Being able to limit page ranges would mean less manually edited of generated TOCs, faster TOC generation, and needing to use fewer paragraph/character styles to handle them!

Grep style formatting for variables

Active linked variables and Grep styles do not work together.

When you use variables and paragraph formats with Grep styles, you have to set the variable back to text and lose the link, to enable formatting with the Grep style.

Variables should be handled by InDesign like normal text, with all features of formatting etc.

Publish Online for INDB (book) file

Please extend Publish Online to Books. I use recurring elements as chapters in presentations and would like to publish online instead of exporting and transmitting PDF files.

Easy way to convert text to outline while exporting

Most of our printers still ask for fonts to be outlined.
Unfortunately the process to outline is very complicated and usually results in bullets, text box backgrounds and underline/over-lines disappearing. I also don't always want to flatten the whole document but simply rasterize the text. Especially when sending something to print that has different ink layers. Being able to outline text in the Export dialog box would be the best solution. This way I don't have to save a separate document or undo all my changes before saving so I retain my text in the Indd file.

Page range(s) and pages/spreads options in Share for Review

Export options for Share for Review

Ability to select page range(s), individual pages vs spreads, etc. directly in the export process, not buried in the last PDF export settings.

Open hyperlinks in new tab

You could update the software with the function to open hyperlinks in new tab within PDFs and other formats. This is very necessary.

color picker isn't consistent with other software.

Please allow users to change color picker to Photoshop color picker. Indesign is great except for the nuisance of having a horrible UI for the color picker. I make all my colors in photoshop copy the code then paste it into Indesign.

Need More Info · Abhinav Kaushik responded

Hello All,
Starting Id 16.0 we introduced HSB in Color Picker.
Does that resolve inconsistency issue for you?

Please tell us in the comments.

Multiple index

Support for multiple indices (Index of Subject, Index of Authors, Index of Passages, Index of pictures, index of tables).

That would greatly improve performance of work and cut a lot of time and get out books faster than before with higher accuracy!

Groups, Smart Groups, and Searching in Links Panel

The links panel should support Groups and Smart Groups. Large numbers of links in projects -- especially those that include a lot of InCopy assignments -- get unwieldy.

Ideally you would be able to make groups and manually move links into them, and also create smart groups that would automatically update. Ideas for common filters that smart groups would be used for:

All CMKY images, all non-CMYK images, all InCopy links, all links that need to be updated, all links that are embedded or not, all links that are currently on a Hidden Layer or hidden via conditional text, etc.

Also, just having a simple text box that can be typed into and have the visible Links narrowed down according to that search would be a big help -- similar to the way the Quick Apply interface works as you type.

SVG Export

InDesign should be able to export either entire pages or selections into SVG. The JavaScript for exporting SVG is crap. The export should also include the fonts as well as checkboxes from forms. Form fields are not supported in most of the plug-ins. SVG is a very important standard. We used ist for maps, layouts etc. shown as small preview e.g. the cover of a book, forms, adverts etc.

Full Screen / Split Screen Support for InDesign/InCopy on MacOS

It really would be helpful if the Adobe CC apps (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop et al) all did as Acrobat Pro DC does and properly implemented the MacOS full screen/split screen option.

This would allow people who use multiple and large monitors to properly designate workspace and split screens between two apps without toolbars/panels getting hidden by other apps.
