when using the GAP tool, allow to enter the space size.
When i have a collage of many images and I want to have all the spacing between the images the same exact amount, entering a desired size will be a huge help.

Allow to enter individual object size when multiple objects are selected
When multiple objects are selected InDesign shows the total width and height of the whole selection. I'd want to be able to enter the width and height of each individual box.

Anchored Objects should be able to be sent to back so text can print above the object
It would be nice if text could print above an anchored object
240 votesThank you all for the votes.
Can you help us understand the key problems that you face in the absence of ability to send an anchored image backwards?
What’s the current workaround that you have to follow?
What are the use cases wherein you need that the text appears specifically on top of inline anchored image?
This information will help us evaluate the functionality better.

Anchored Objects need be able to apply a text wrap when placed before their anchor point in text
For example, if the reference text for an image falls on the lower half of a right hand page, but the placement of the image works better at the top of that page—or even on the facing left hand page—the text wrap should be able to work before the object's anchor point in the text. Otherwise, when dealing with long documents, this feature is somewhat useless if you can only anchor some of your objects.

Have option to display non-printing objects
Having an option to display non-printing objects can be very useful if you want to have notes or other visual markers in your document that you do not wish to be printed.
Right now when you choose an object to be non-printing, it becomes invisible. If you would have a checkbox that would toggle its visibility that would be great.

Allow Open Office files to be imported
Open office is a popular format but indesign doesn't have a filter to let them be imported. All our contributors use Open Office but the only way I can import them is to open them up, copy and paste - and lose all formatting. Not EVERYTHING has to revolve around Microsoft, surely?

Make "replace selected item" in indesign stay the way it was - checked or unchecked - when launching again.
When launching indesign, "replace selected item" is always checked, regardless of whether it was unchecked when closing last time. This should stay unchecked if you close with it unchecked, or checked if you close it checked. I've asked for this several times over the past few years but never had any feedback nor any action. It's one of the more annoying features of indesign.

functionality not working any longer.
Hi. In older versions of InDesign and Illustrator on Mac I was able to minimise the application by double clicking the title bar. In the latest version of CC this does not work any longer - Acrobat and Photoshop have no problem. High Sierra 10.13.4. All Adobe apps completely updated.

PLEASE REMOVE THIS! I want to place an image and shrink it. PERIOD. such a frustration!
Whenever I drag over a PNG file (which happens to be an icon) and I want to shrink it to a smaller size....I'm always confronted with:
"This value would cause one or more objects to leave the pasteboard"
Okay.....that's fine. But why don't you provide INSTRUCTIONS for how to resolve this???? I've been copying it to different areas and nothing works. I've wasted 15 minutes and nothing. Like this is SUCH a burden in my workflow.
So for the love of God, please remove this PROMPT, it does more harm than good!

MacBook Pro Touchbar
To format text and paragraphs in InDesign I use shortcuts all the time. In really increases my work speed. Unfortunately these only work with a number pad. The MacBook Pro doesn't have a number pad. Could you extend this funktion to either other keys, the touchbar or fn-key combinations?

Placed Vector image line weight override
I work primarily with line art vector files created for instruction sheets. We create the views using a 3D modeling program, save them as PDFs, and then edit them in Illustrator. The images are then placed in InDesign and scaled to fit the page along with the other content. The problem is that the scaled line art stroke weight will scale larger or smaller as it is changed.
I'm requesting a simple option or override the line weights of the vector files to match... a style? Or even allow them to be edited via the stroke panel? Right-click on the…

file / open recent (preview small thumbnail)
Hi - I would find it really useful if there was a feature - file / open recent (preview small thumbnail) . Sometimes the file name itself isn't enough, in particular if you are working on lots of files quickly. if there was a thumbnail at file/open recent it would help to locate the particular file better.
love indesign - thank you.

allow me to hide/unhide some tools on main tool panel
some tools (page tool, gap tool, content collector) are rarely used and I'd like to stop accidentally selecting them, I'd like to hide some of them some of the time.

Include anchored object options when copying and pasting (eg an image)
I'm working on a document which uses images as icons to indicate particular activities. I'm copying and pasting the images as anchored objects, but each time have to go into the options to set the Custom anchored position. It would be great if it wasn't necessary to do this for each image.
(I'm a relative newcomer to InDesign, so may be missing something else in terms of how this can be achieved.)

Incorporate Illustrator vector files into Indesign
I understand that Indesign was born as a layout software where inside it will be connected PSD and AI external source files and the modification should be done in the dedicated software.
Evaluate, in simple cases, the practicality of changes in Indesign.
I'll explain.It would be good to be able to modify simple carriers such as brands and logos or small icons directly inside IDs. Example ... Layout of catalogs of a company with logo A.
This Logo if paginated on a white background could go in the full color version ... If the logo goes on a dark…3 votes -
Add option to center Document Grid on page (instead of aligned left)
Please add an option to center the Document Grid to the middle of the page. That is, instead of the origin of the grid being placed at the top left of the document, have an option to place the grid origin at the top center of the page. This way, extra space that "overflows" the grid is evenly distributed at the edges of the document (as a kind of default gutter), instead of the current behavior, in which the grid is aligned to the left edge of the document and any "overflow" space is only on the right side of…

CC Libraries save location info to place graphics in specific positions
Currently, only INDL libraries save object placement info, so when you right click and select place, an item will be in the correct position on the page. Please add this to CC library items as well.
