Import formatting from PDF comments
InDesign should apply what ever it recives from the PDF. The formating options for the comments are pretty limited – Bold, Italic, Underline, ...
If I accept a comment that has italic characters, the formatted text would be [italic].
If I accept a comment that has bold characters, the formatted text would be [bold].
If I accept a comment that has bold italic characters, the formatted text would be [bold italic].
If I am using a font that does not have an Italic weight (Maybe it uses Regualre Italic), the text would just recive the standart missing font warning (The…

Font Menu Management
Need a way for end-users to control which fonts appear in the font menu. We don't need, or want, all the Mac OS system fonts to appear in our InDesign font menu, but there is currently no way to remove them from the list. While we can sort by Favorites, this would mean we'd need to go through and mark all our corporate fonts as Favorites in order to only display them. With Apple no longer allowing removal of System fonts, application font menus are getting totally out of control. Allowing control of what is displayed from within the application…

Enable the user to select specific pages, spreads or page ranges to share for review
I would like to be able to create a link (to share for review) for specific pages or page ranges, so I can send a stakeholder the work applicable to them and not sharing my whole document with them.

Implementing "Grep styles" like a "Character style"
Grep styles deserve to be used like any existing style.
This means:
1 - Having a panel where we can create/modify/ delete any grep style (similar use as the Character style panel)2 - Having the Paraph.style/Grep styles section revamped.
There, a drop down list allows the user to select existing Grep styles (If any)3 - a "+" button allows to add and implement some more Grep styles
This allows to use multiple grep stylesThe added value is to create only once a list of grep style actions. They can then be connected to paragraph styles easily.
This…

Equations and Citations and Bibliography Feautures
Bring the most desired features such as Equations and Citations and Bibliography fields as in Word. Currently I am writing my dessertation and I have to insert my reference list the hard way and I can't even type my mathematical equations as it should be typed.
InDesign CC doesn't bring features for that (so that I don't have to rewrite references each time I need) neither to insert mathematical equation as in Word. WORD DOES IT BETTER!

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…

QR WiFi Code generation
QR codes can embed a WiFi password and network information to automatically join the network when scanned. It would be great if the QR Code Generator in InDesign could add this type of QR Code into its capabilities!

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…

Align Text exactly to the left or right edge of the frame
It's a very logn known issue in InDesign: Different font sizes have different spacings to left or right edge of the frame. The more the font size grows, the more the space to left or right edge of the text frame grows.
From time to time in the past years my clients have noticed that in drafts for correction. This means a lot of additional manual work for large projects in order to align the font correctly.
It would be great and an enormous relief if in one of the next versions the text frames are either already correctly preset,…10 votes -

Stop appending the word "folder" to all package folder names
I really really really hate that I have to waste 8 keystrokes (yes, I count the down-arrow to get to the end of the package name) on every single package I make. At least give me the option to change the default suffix.

Add conditions to Data Merge
There should be conditions in data merge to include or exclude text based on the data in a record. For example.e consider a set of business cards. Some users might have a Twitter handle or mobile number, some might not. Currently there is no way to omit empty fields and any text that might fo with it, line an "M" and tab to prefix a mobile number and the line break after it. There should be a way to make that text conditional on whether the field is empty or what is in it.
e.g. IF @mobile<>"",M^t@mobile^p,,)
If the mobile…

Have the option to add dynamic or static captions to an anchored image.
It would be interesting to have the option to add dynamic or static captions to an anchored image.
On the 1st image, an anchored object, impossible to have the option to add dynamic or static captions.
On the 2nd one, not an anchored object, it's possible to add dynamic or static captions

Add hanging punctuation for chevrons
Hanging punction is currently not working with chevrons (« ») – which are used in Germany, Spain, Italy, France & Norway. In Quark XPress this works perfectly with one click. I am a professional typographer and would like to have this issue fixed as soon as possible. Kind regards Egil Haraldsen

Add a "Pin to Recent" setting for InDesign documents
I have files that I occasionally use that I'd love to access without drilling down on a remote server to find them every time. Being able to pin (or unpin) a document file to the Open Recent list would be a great convenience. This would prevent it from being pushed off the end of the list.

Export to Adobe XD
It would be fantastic, if the exchange with Adobe XD would be improved.
This could raise InDesign to a new, more modern level. Complete web designs can be created much faster and better with InDesign than, for example, with the layer-based Photoshop or the confusing Adobe Illustrator. There is already an ePUB export, so it would be obvious, to implement an XD export. Or XD imports InDesign data, that would work too. Thank you and always think ahead!10 votes
