Hi,
The ability to add suffix to JPEG/PNG is now available in InDesign’s latest release 19.0. Please let us know your feedback in comments.

@Max - Again, that script is not tenable in a team environment. It would be hard to get dozens of people to all use the script the same way and then script licensing has to be managed - sometimes across teams that are funded differently. When it comes to software design, user experience is everything. The function needs to be baked into InDesign in a way that is self-evident to users so we can get teams to utilize it. I think folks in this thread have done a good job of defining how it should work.

I did some user-testing of the Bookmarks feature, and while I can see how it is implementable within a team setting, it would take a lot more management to implement successfully as opposed to something as self-evident as being able to name the pages. My wife demoed Canva's solution to this and it works a lot like Adobe XD. Each Artboard has a one click updateable name above the top left of the artboard. When you export artboards, that name carries through to the file name, which is perfect. Being able to pass data such as the artboard size with a one click checkbox would add value to the system as you wouldn't have to hand key that in as a name.

@James - Well said! I haven't been able to download the PreRelease because of authentication issues (I emailed sharewithID@adobe.com to hopefully figure that out). But based on what I've read, I appreciate being able to automatically pass through data like the page size in px to the export filenames and being able to tag pages to be skipped during export. but like James said, a big part of this feature is to be able to organize your document by labeling each page. This system would be very useful when working in teams. We pass files between multiple designers, so page names would be helpful in making document structure self-evident to someone picking up work on a document. Especially with you guys pushing the new cloud-based collaboration system. And then passing these names to files upon export would be a huge time saver. Sorry to dig, but I mentioned this feature to my wife, and she told me Canva has it :) I can't confirm, but productivity features like this are a big deal to folks and teams who use InDesign on a daily basis.

@AK's comment is bang on the money for me. I know about the Mars Premedia script, and it is great when you are a one-man team. But If Adobe built this function into the Page panel, it would be self-evident to folks opening the file what each page is supposed to be. And it would work for so many use cases from social designs, to presentations, to simply labeling sections of books. Passing the labeling through to file names on export would be a huge time saver. This is such a simple function to implement that would make a big difference to designers that need it.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue in the most recent build: 16.0.1 x64 - on Windows 10
I've set up classes for styles (Paragraph and Character) under Export Tagging, and random ones will not get passed to the EPUB correctly as described in the original post. If I restart InDesign, different classes will get messed up.
This ticket seems to be a duplicate of this issue:
https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/38520238-export-tagging
Can we get a bug fix on this? Creating classes in an EPUB from styles is a core function of generating ebooks, so this is a critical bug to fix. It is causing us to have to do manual auditing of our files.

Hi All,
This indeed a great suggestion. I wanted to understand a little more about this request.
1. The way this request is described its majorly about figuring out how to change the various text attributes in a single step rather than having to change multiple styles to make that happen. It would helpful if you can mention which all attributes you all would want to be dependent on the baseline (space before/after, size, leading any other).
2. Which kind of documents (magazines, brochures, books etc.) do you see this to be more important for you.
3. Wouldn’t a similar method (not sure if we could base it on baseline though!!) for changing the layout also help, if you could define the sizes of objects in relation to the page size. Do you think extending this feature to the layout also makes sense.
4. If you can share some files…An error occurred while saving the comment Jason Green

The biggest need I have in this area is with leading. If you type, say, 120% in the leading box, it will give you 120% of the Auto setting. But it converts it to a static number. When you increase the font size, instead of the leading increasing and staying at 120% of the Auto amount of the larger font size, it stays at a static number. Just making it so you can set leading to a dynamic percentage of Auto would be a huge improvement.
My current workaround is to CTRL-SHIFT corner point drag a text box to change the font-size and the leading proportionality. I then have to update my paragraph styles to reflect the new font and leading sizes. But I see other designers constantly changing font size manually and their leading on different sized titles does not stay proportional.
With all that said, a more complex system of standardized measurement would certainly be beneficial for advanced users. Looking at the em system in CSS would make sense. That way anything like leading, space before/after, paragraph borders etc could all be based on the font-size itself.

Yeah, it's an improvement, but we still can't name pages and pass them to export like you can in Adobe XD or Canva, so this idea is not completed. It's also not helpful when folks mention the Mars Premedia script over and over again. That script has significant limitations and just gives the devs an excuse not to deliver. Naming pages built into the InDesign UI is a basic function that improves the software and daily workflows for some design teams. Maybe we'll get it in next year's release?
