Mixed orientation printing within the same document
Please consider implementing mixed orientation (auto orientation) with printing so it saves people time from having to export to PDF first then print as it is only possible through Acrobat at the moment.

Auto speads into pages
Sometime we have to design in spreads then output for print in pages. This means with a spread you have to add bleed to the right of a left hand page and add bleed to the left of right pages when manually breaking the pages apart.
It would save time if Indesign 1- split all speads into pages and 2 -
extended any image/ coloured boxes to the left/ right by the amount specified in the bleed preferences.4 votes -
Vertical Justification in InDesign CC
We'd like to include smart Vertical Justification (VJ) feature in InDesign without disturbing the leading spaces. VJ feature to be enhanced with many customized rules such as adjust the style above spaces, avoiding space adjustments between the particular styles, creating lines to adjust the base alignments at the end of each page and the facing pages.

A way to chose where you would like to save your links, INDD file, etc when "packaging" a file.
When working on projects with multiple large books, we would appreciate a way to "package" a file, yet save all of the links for each book in a Master Links Library folder, fonts in a Master Fonts Library folder, and PDFs in a designated folder.
Additionally, it would be awesome if there was a way to preflight a file and ensure that all links are linking to a specific master links folder.

Show which layer is printing in the slug area.
We often have to print specific layers to be sure our art is on the correct layer for printing. It would be especially helpful to us to see which layer is printed along with the page information.

More than just the single Links folder when packaging.
It would be nice to be able to preserve my file structure when packaging a book. Just separate folders for images, docs, table, etc. There are a lot of files in a 500-600 page technical manual with 50-60 documents/chapters, and it's a pain to sort through when everything gets dropped into a single Links folder.

Network package issue
I get a error message when I try to export a PDF or make other package from a file that I packaged from company network server. Is like I can't access the links files anymore. And I even can't delete them!
I'm using the Indesign 13.1 and macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

Break the table straddle rules (borders)
Often we're receiving the feedback from our internal clients that table rule to be splitted whenever the tables are having multiple heads (attached the screen shot). Currently we unable to achieve this, need to fix in InDesign to fix this feedback.

Load automatically the maximun ink (TAC) from the CMYK working space profile in the separations preview palette
Load automatically the maximun ink (TAC) from the CMYK working space profile in the separations preview palette.
It would be a nice feature if InDesign could load automatically the maximun ink (TAC) from the CMYK working space profile in the separations preview palette. Sometimes it is quite difficult to find that value inside the profile and if you are working with different requirements, as some prepress workshops do, having that preloaded would avooid many troubles.
Thanks :)

Print Preview rather than a P... or is that a d?
I'm amazed at how complicated it is to be able to print something as simple as front cover and back cover as a spread.
in fact, i have yet to figure that out at all.
Is there a reason why i can't print select pages from a catalog, and see where they will land on a page?
I feel like I'm working in Quark back in 2001. Have we made no progress in in the print dialog box since then?
I'd like to be able to SEE the pages (from selected range) their orientation on select paper stock, and how…

Print Preview Dialogue Box
The small print preview in the print dialogue box was recently changed to a light grey, making it harder at first glance to discern page from background. Can you please allow changing it back to dark grey be a preferences option

Restore the page overlay display in the print dialog.
I previous version of InDesign and the initial releases of InDesign 2017, you could see quite clearly what would print on the selected sheet size. In the latest update as of Aug 2017, if I change a sheet from letter to legal that has been printed previously, letter is still selected in the dialog, but due to the preview sheet being legal and cannot see that there is a size mismatch without going through the individual dialogs. For reference, the portion of the document that would not be within the printable region showed as a different shade of grey, whereas…

A locate option when relinking files in InDesign like Adobe Premiere Pro has! This would save so much time finding those lost links.
When re-linking broken links, offer the option to locate the file be clicking a locate button and have it search quickly a folder or specified area on local disk or server share like Premiere Pro does with missing linked assets. This would save countless hours hunting down those lost links that happen to EVERYOne. Please ad this feature for us. Our team has to try to search them down manually as there is no good way to search a server share as Mac OS built in search refuses to search properly most times. Most files don't even show up but…

Remove plug in
I used an add-on module for years that I will not need anymore. Without the current version of this plugin, I can not package the files anymore. Therefore, I would like to permanently remove the plug-in from the file. For that I can not find a solution, except to first create an IDML file.
I'm looking for a simpler solution, because I have several hundred files that are equipped with the module.0 votes -
