I am writing to you as a long-time user and enthusiast of your software, specifically Adobe InDesign. I have a request and I believe it may echo the sentiments of many other designers in my field.
A common issue I've noticed is the difficulty in viewing InDesign page layouts in other software, such as Adobe Bridge. The necessity to simultaneously view multiple documents outside of InDesign is a frequent occurrence in my work as a designer, especially when creating composite pieces such as magazines or books.
The process often involves stitching together multiple documents worked on by different teams, assembling them into a final magazine or book. It would greatly enhance our efficiency if these modular documents could be sequentially arranged directly in a tool like Bridge, while visually interacting with the actual pages.
An additional beneficial feature would be the ability to compose a book using various pages from different documents across the entire book, without the need to open InDesign. I believe such an enhancement would not present a significant technical challenge given Adobe's expertise.
I find it surprising that there is not yet a tool from Adobe to display page layouts outside of InDesign. Is it possible that this issue is being considered for future developments within Adobe? Your response would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Daniel Koehler
