1. Object Layer Options to be part of Object Styles

   Allow Object Layer Options to be included as an attribute for Object Styles.

   Example: I have an annual report for a group of charities under one umbrella organization. It lists various projects the charities are working on. Some projects are operated by only one charity, some two, some all three. I have an Illustrator file with a graphic for each charity. I use Object Layer Styles to show or hide the symbols for each charity. I must use Object Layer Options for each use of this graphic to indicate which charity(s) are operating each project. It can be very time consuming and introduces a chance of error as I edit the options for each placement of the graphic. If I could use Object Styles to assign layer options I could save a great deal of time and ensure greater consistency.

2. Include original INDD filename in metadata on PDF export

   Include original INDD filename in metadata on PDF export.

   I often get PDFs from clients, usually well after a job has been completed, where they want to update it, or base a new document on the PDF. Some clients, no matter how many times you tell them not to, change the name of the PDF file, making it a little more difficult to find the source file. Or a new client will send me a PDF that I did not create... then I have to ask for the source file, and of course you get "deer in the headlights eyes". If you could point them to an exact filename that might help before you tell them you have to recreate the file from scratch. If you could include the original INDD filename in the PDF metadata that would help a LOT.

3. Compare Changes

   I will send an updated document out and my clients won't be able to see what has changed. Can a setting or state be added to show the previous version vs the latest version?

5. Share for review - Select range

   Hi, Loving the share for review feature, makes the proofing process so much easier, thanks adobe!

   Really missing one feature thouh,: our documents often have alternate layouts, and we'd like to have an option for reviewing just one layout at a time, same as the feature in the publish online-tool. Please add.

7. Ability to sync text variables via Creative Cloud Libraries

   Similar to another suggestion here requesting the ability to import .csv content as variables: it would also be useful to be able to insert a text variable into an InDesign document from an external source such as Creative Cloud Libraries. This would enable a simple central location for variable information (eg prices, product specs etc) that could then be used across multiple documents. Updating the central data would then update all 'linked' variables when an InDesign document is opened, removing the need to manually update and the subsequent risk of human error.

8. 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.

10. Document Time Tracking

    This idea has already been posted, but it's from 2018 so I would like to post it again:

    Document Time Tracking would be a feature to see the dates / time spent on a document. It could be accessed in the documents info panel. This feature would be useful for client invoicing and project managing especially in advertising where time is money.

12. Select All by paragraph style

    I'd love to be able to select all text in the document by paragraph style. So, select all text with "Heading 1" paragraph style. And then I could copy and paste it into a different document. It would help for revising documents, so I can see the topics all together and reorder the outline of names.

13. We need "smart" title case in the change case menu

    We need smart title case, with prepositions and conjunctions not capitalized. It's ridiculous that a script or third-party plug-in is required. This is a publishing program! InDesign can create a table of contents—it should be able to do it correctly.

14. Fold marks in export settings for spreads

    Hello,

    I work with cover spreads quite a bit....3 facing pages. Back Cover-Spine-Front Cover. The printer I work with, a very large commercial printer, requests fold marks on the spine. They want them the same size/offset as the outer crop marks. When you have a spread and you check "crop marks" in the export settings, InDesign puts marks on the spine that are smaller and offset further away from the trim than the outer marks. They really do no good. I think it would be extremely beneficial if there was a "Fold Mark" option in the export settings for when you have a spread with a perfect bound spine. Setting them up manually is a bit of a pain when you have many to do.

15. A facility to tell what settings are 'inherited' from another style

    I think it would be beneficial to be able to quickly identify which properties in a cell style etc. inherit from a parent style.

    If you look at my child.png , it is "Based On" parent.png. However, you can't see in the child what settings have been "learned" from the parent. It would be nice if the inherited characteristics appear with a light grey background or a little star or something suitable to distinguish them from the edits that are child-specific.

    In my case, how this situation caused minor confusion is that I had "no idea" why the background fill colour for my new child cell style was coming out orange. Well, of course, I knew, but it took a while to find the setting that needed changing.

    That is because I wanted to edit the fill colour, and my mind was looking for a setting that showed up in bright orange. My brain was not thinking "search for Fill Colour", it was thinking "I'm looking for something in bright orange that shouldn't be bright orange anymore because it looks awful"; less a few swear words in between.

    Then again, maybe this inability is simply a characteristic of this particular blade for settings strokes for cell borders. I find that I need to control different attributes for each of the four borders of a cell.

    For this particular blade, it is a very confusing process. I struggle to work out what borderline I am editing and what borderline I am leaving alone. I often destroy the edits that I have made to one of the other cell borders in the process.

    I think I have figured out how to border selector works, but the choice of blue and black without any explanation as to what blue or black means is almightily confusing.

    Kind regards
    Mike Howell

17. Fast book export to PDF

    When you have a book with a lot of files inside (more than 100), the export to PDF takes a lot of time. The mouse stucks and it ist not possible to work effectively.
    Every day we are working multiple times with the book funktion.
    A new PDF Export will be very nice and very very helpful.

    Save the state of a style group, open or closed, when saving a document.

    This should be done to all panels that allow for style groups.

20. Chromebook

    Hello to the Adobe InDesign Geniuses! I write this with a heavy heart, I have been a mac holdout/Windows Defender when it comes to Adobe products (Photoshop) since the Mid 1990's If I had to guess, 1995 or 1996. I LOVE Adobe Products and have a huge distaste for mac. I am reaching a breaking point with Windows, they are trying to make an OS SOOO much more and constantly causing problems, I just had to re install windows on 5 computers due to the latest update that I have yet to have one Windows tech support expert agree as to what the actual problem was, if there really was a problem with any windows patch..... I am seriously considering looking into a Chromebook. The only reason I have not jumped is.... No Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere Pro etc... I know Adobe has started to make some apps available on Android/Chrome OS, is there any hope of a full Suite? If so, any clues as to when? Thank you!
