Include page count in XMP
The XMP metadata included in an InDesign file does not include the page count. This makes it difficult for thrid party solutions such as digital asset management systems not running InDesign or InDesign Server to display the page count to their users for InDesign files.
There is a standardized XMP element called xmpTPg:NPages which is supposed to contain the page count for multi-page documetns. https://developer.adobe.com/xmp/docs/XMPNamespaces/xmpTPg/ This should be included in the XMP by InDesign.

The hope of developing a new vertical effect of CJk text
（If you only want to read the core content, please go directly to the end of this article）
（This document is designated to be delivered to Adobe Japan）
————————
Dear Adobe Japan:
Thank for your attention and helping. On behalf of my region, I would like to make a request boldly to your company about the new effect of vertical typesetting.
The existing versions of indesign equipped with CJK typesetter and applicable to East Asia have only one text arrangement direction for vertical text arrangement - the first column inherited is on the right, from right to left from ancient…

Add more (EU) Blank Document Presets like A6, Square
I don't understand why we're still limited to A4, A5 and A3, but other common sizes like A6 and A0 are missing. Same goes for social media sizes. Making our own presets would be a solution if we were able to arrange the preset order. Please add more options and/or make it easier for us to arrange our new document screen.

Consider built-in compression of .indd files
Since .indd files could be compressed (e.g. zip) with saving between 50% to 70% of disc space: Please consider to implement a compression algorithm natively into InDesign.
Thanks

generar planillo desde la ventana páginas
Sería interesante para el ámbito editorial poder imprimir un planillo a partir del diseño que tenemos en nuestra ventana de páginas, o generar uno interactivo como lo que ha diseñado René Andritsch:

Warn before converting document
When opening an indesign document created in older version, on a newer indesign version, the newer version MUST post a warning dialogue box before converting the document.
BECAUSE if a designer works for two different client, where a client wants indesign version X, why the other client wants indesign version Y, then the designser should not by mistake convert the older version into a newer version, and not discovering this mistake only after its too late.

Duplicate Spread n times
In some occasions, I use InDesign to collect Photoshop or Illustrator artwork.
In that case, I create a page with a Rectangle Frame, Auto-Fit checked.
When I need e.g. 20 of these, I have to duplicate many times 1-2-4-8-16 etc.
Why not add a number to the duplicate function?1 vote -

Allow Pages to be named and exported with names - like photoshop artboards
Where the pages are numbered in the pages panel, please could you allow them to be named and exported with those names - in the same way the Photoshop allows with artboards?
This would save so much time for working on projects that have 100s of pages that all need specific names. I would need this in InDesign as the ability to relink images is a super useful feature for my projects.
Thanks!

add the ability to create multiple versions of the same document with minimal effort
I create a newsletter, and along with it, an "accessible" version with minimal fonts and styles. Right now, I have to copy and paste each article into the accessible version, and manually apply each paragraph style in order to make things work out. There has GOT to be an easier way to make this happen!
I tried the "paste and link" feature, which would at least save me the copying and pasting of each individual section, but the second one makes an edit and updates the link, all those accessible styles revert back to the original! At the very least,…

Page numbering for spreads
Numbering for Spreads, not just single pages.
A simple option as follows:
Type > Insert Special Character > Markers > New Spread Numbering Options
I.e This would make page 1-2 appear as spread number 1 automatically throughout the document
A life saver and simply amazed this doesn't already exisit!Adobe, please please please implement. It will be a dramatic time saver over doing it manually.
Thank you,

Provide a page count based on page attributes (specifically the color of the page)
I create many documents where I have a limit on the number of pages allowed, but that limit excludes certain page types (like the covers, etc.). I frequently use the Page Attributes: Color Labels feature to apply a specific color to the pages that do not count in my page count and a different color to those that are included in the overall page count. But I still have to manually count the number of pages with a particular label. It would be so helpful to have InDesign automatically provide a count of pages with a specific label, so that…

Change page size not only centered, but for example add 2 cm to the right side only
It would be super handy if the size could be changed at any direction as easily as with the anchors in "Canvas size" in Photoshop. I know it is possible with the Page Tool, but I would love for it to be "in the right place", i.e. in the Page setup window.

Duplicating parent spread in InDesign - Add the option to add it at the end (like it used to be before 18.1)
18.1 brought a change to Indesign, you can now duplicate a page or a parent spread right under the chosen page or spread, which is fine. Indesign team then implemented a function called "Duplicate page at the end", which acts as the old "Duplicate" did. However, that new function doesn't work in the parent spread list. I can't duplicate a master spread right at the end of the list, just like "Duplicate" used to behave.
My team and I edit a large amount of documents on a daily basis, and we sometime need to modify a master spread to fit…

Have a linked page display on a page
IIt would be incredibly useful to display a page within an object on another page. This would also update automatically whenever the page updated and show up in the links panel like other links. You could then treat it like any other linked object by being able to crop, resize, etc.
This would reduce the amount of exports and reimports and allow for greater flexibiity.

Differentiate and provide options for Section Numbering and Absolute Numbering when Inserting a Page Number
Currently, if a document is divided into different numbering sections, there is no way to provide a page number for the page's location in the overall document (absolute page number). This could be remedies by providing additional options. Ideally, the new workflow for creating page numbers would be:
Insert Special Character >
Markers >
Current Page Number >

Add a warning in dynamic spell Control when writing two or more spaces between words
Add a warning in dynamic spelling control when writing two or more spaces between words like most document softwares have like Windows Word .
This wish I have asked for some years ago but with no result.
I use InDesign mostly to write booktext directly in the books which I prefere to be able to combine text with pictures (in my last book there were more than 700 links tp pictures in 352 pages)..
When you change a text you have written it is very easy to add an extra space which the automattic text placement often makes it very…1 vote
