Custom Signature Sizes
We desperately need to be able to create custom signature sizes for 2-up Perfect Bound booklets. Right now the only options are 4, 8, 12, 16, and 32, which is extremely limiting. Adding blank pages to fill out extra signatures is a garbage work around leading to an unprofessional product.

Give one-sided versus two-sided option in print dialog box
Most software allows me to select one-sided versus two-sided printing in the print dialog box. Indesign requires that I go into the printer setup to make that change.

Include The Page / Spread Geometric Bounds When Generating InDesign Snippets
We are parsing InDesign Snippets that are dragged and dropped onto our application.
Part of this process involves us translating the page item coordinates so that 0,0 is top left.
With the metadata contained in the snippet, it is not possible to perform this translation accurately since the snippet doesn't tell us the dimensions of the spread / page it belonged to.
We partially work around this limitation today by having a page item that is the full bounds of the page which is dragged and dropped along with the other page items. However, would prefer to have something more…

swatches, color, and gradient panels like illustrator
Illustrator has the easiest to use and most powerful swatches, color, and gradient panels. Indesign would be a much better experience if it just used them. Just make them exactly the same.

Windows Could Not Automatically Detect This Networks Proxy Settings
There are a big number of users who face network issues in windows 10. A prompt shows up as ‘Windows couldn't automatically detect network’s proxy settings’ on the taskbar. The error although isn't something that's specific to any particular build. Corrupt system files most of the time plays the villain.For More Info:https://techtreme.com/windows-cant-automatically-detect-network-proxy-settings

Adding one additional tool to the tools panel to delete the object
I am working with lot of icons and queries. While doing correction there are many objects should get delete, For that clicking every object and pressing delete button in keyboard takes more time. Instead if it is one dedicated tool is there so that I can click that tool when tool touches the object it delete the object without pressing delete button in keyboard. This option should work well even with anchored objects.

Consistent asterisk use for unsaved files
Would be nice to keep the asterisk for unsaved files consistent across Adobe apps: in Indesign the asterisk is IN FRONT of the filename, in Illustrator and Photoshop it's AT THE BACK.
I sometimes think I've overwritten a file just because the asterisk isn't where I expect it to be :(2 votes -
Make GREP dot (Any Character) match Footnote Reference marker.
Make the GREP dot (Any Character) match ~F (Footnote Reference marker).
There is no reason that a query like .+ would stop when reaching a footnote marker. This should select the entire paragraph. This behaviour have been in InDesign forever and should be changed.

Table of content number cross-reference option + Texte Hyperlink
Hi all,
Two option that can really be cool in TOC are :
- an option to creat ''Cross-Reference page number''
- an option to generate an hyperlink to the destination page for the TOC entry (Text and Page number)
Like that, in bigger documents, with multi table of content (in my catalog project, I have a main TOC with all the section title + 1 TOC by section (with all the products titles and page number too). It could be great to generate those TOC automaticaly, and, have the number that are update automaticaly when we add or delete a page.

Equation Editor for Mac OS version
It is very sad that Adobe relies so heavily on third party developer to fix issues for services that we CC subscribers pay for already. It is very dissapppointing that I have to search the internet for an app or plugin to do something that should be built into a product such as Indesign. I should not have to purchase anything that creates a function that this software should provide based on the context of what it is supposed to do. Indesign is in all forms a layout and typeset application that for the steep cost should provide the ability…

GPU preview keeps switching off
I generally make use of the GPU preview functionality built into InDesign, but recently I've noticed that files keep reverting to 'Preview on CPU'. I can't see any way of preventing this so I'm wondering if it's a bug'.
It's not a speed issue for me so much as a preview issue. Without GPU preview switched on, imported images look way too bright with particularly garish reds. I'm hoping it's a software thing rather than a graphics card on the way out. Any ideas anyone?

Add "Reveal in Explorer" option in Windows version
Why isn't this feature available on the Windows version of InDesign? It's always been there on the Mac version. When right-clicking on an open document's tab, there should be an option at the bottom that allows revealing the current document in Explorer.
This feature is even available in Photoshop for both versions as well! It should have been added for feature parity long ago and it's a useful feature to have.3 votes -
Import a multipage PDF into existing graphic frames
I need to be able to set up a document with graphic frames, then import a multipage PDF using a script which places each page into each frame. When the script encounters a page not containing a frame, it will miss it out and place into the next available frame.

Line spacing measured in millimeters
When working with grid systems, measuring the line spacing in millimeters would be practical—similar to the default setting for strokes.
