Ability to track large file sizes cause
It would be a useful feature to allow users to be able to track down what in their documents is causing their file sizes to be inflated. The feature would be an audit of what is in the document and how it is directly linked to the final file size of the document. This would really help in keeping bloat in the files down to minimum, or choose alternative ways to configure files.

Drop unit when clicking property fields
For example, if I click on Font Size when it says 10 pt, it should automatically drop the 'pt' before I start typing. Retyping the value is always faster than trying to move the insertion point and highlighting only the numbers to avoid getting an "invalid value" message because you accidentally typed over the 'p' in 'pt'. Else you have to always double-click the field, but sometimes that fails to highlight everything for one reason or another. There's no real use case for leaving the unit in the box when entering a value I've ever encountered.

Data merge and type formatiing
We data merge price tickets for retail from excel into InDesign. It would save so much formatting time if you could change the data merge fields 'case'.
For example: could I change a data merge field to Sentence case, or Title Case etc? I know the feature ALL CAPS works but that's it?6 votes -

Adding Ordinal Format Options to Text Variables
I'm using Text Variables to show when the last time a document was modified. Currently, it outputs as "December 30, 2020", however, I would like it to be formatted with an ordinal option so it would display as "December 30th, 2020". Note the "TH" after the 30. So Xst, Xnd, Xrd and Xth would be displayed on the appropriate number.
Thanks in advance for the consideration and all the best!

Share for Review feature notifications settings should be accessible in InDesign, not only Adobe Cloud
The share review feature could use a lot of work. First off, the notification settings should be in InDesign, not Adobe cloud. People don't know to go to Adobe Cloud to adjust notifications, nor did you tell anyone. Also, review comments in InDesign are still a bit glitchy, sometimes the pin or highlighted content does not appear within the editor when viewing review comments. Thanks you!

Text Frame Row Rule Options
It would be brilliant to have this feature added in the Text Frame Options in order to be able to add a number of rows (and its attributes) along with the number of colums.

Create button to open PDF file in a separate tab, from InDesign
If I create an interactive PDF with a button to open another PDF, it overrides the currently open PDF with no route back to the original PDF. In InDesign, it would be useful to be able to tell the button to open the file separately rather than overriding the original. This is obviously only an issue if it's a PDF as other file types will naturally open in their native program, ie: .doc for Word.
The current work-around for this is to create a link field directly in Acrobat to open the file, as this allows for opening PDF's in…

Remember choice of fixed/reflowable epub
When creating an epub, I shouldn't have to select between Fixed and Reflowable in the save dialogue each time. It should remember my choice for the document. And ideally this selection should be in the Epub info page rather than the save dialogue.

Present cross references in alphabetical order
In a large document with hundreds of cross references, hunting for the right cross reference is a disaster. The list is in some random order (or maybe last made, first shown?). Presenting these alphabetically based on paragraph text (including numbers from variables such as caption numbers!) woul dbe enormously helpful.

Indesign Lite, but different to the already suggested
Indesign comes with a lot of features you never use. Features like the absolutely annoying and nasty Creative Cloud and its client, the even nastier CCX, the constant updates which lose compatibility between almost every next version and the previous one, the CC library which doesn't work at all (it should host any kind of object, but it doesn't), InCopy. Remove all that and let us just use what we need.

Please add editable presets for Quick Export menu in the new share menu
It would be very helpful to customize the Quick Export presets to the user’s needs. Also a setting how many presets are displayed would be great. Three options are maybe not enough for most users.

InDesign forgets the maximized state of the window
Windows 10 here.
When working in inDesign, I'm maximizing the window. However, when closing InDesign and opening again, the window isn't maximized. I have to maximize again. Maximizing every time I start InDesign has became annoying.
It's a simple programmer task to keep the last state of the window when opening the application again...11 votes -
Show cross-reference destination document in the cross-ref panel
I work with a lot of guides and need to use a lot of cross-references in my files. When these files later get used as a base for new files and saved under different names, or content is copy-pasted from one file to another, the cross-references point to the old (wrong) destination. I know you can select a cross-ref and change its destination document from the palette menu, but first you need to know that there is such wrong reference, but it is difficult when the cross-reference colour indicator is green and you think everything is fine. I would love…

CJK and Arabic Toolsets
I frequently have to typeset Japanese, Chinese and Arabic, and it's very unfortunate the interfaces for the language tools cannot all be included in the same version.
My understanding is that every version of the software is identical under the hood, and there's a simple hidden parameter that enables the different language tools after a reboot, but it would allow for a much smoother workflow if this could be done within the software. For example, under Workspaces have the option to choose workspaces that use a different language toolset, with a reboot required if necessary. Can this be addressed in…
