Multiple Nested Styles
Expand the nested paragraph styles to include multiple 'Next' options in one Paragraph Style. This would simplify template setups that repeat the same few Paragraph Styles throughout many pages in various combinations. Currently I create numbered copies of the Paragraph Styles to account for all the variations. It would be nice to see one Paragraph Style for each page that contained the all the Next styles rather than having dozens of repeated styles to manage.

Brushes
It would be great to be able to import Illustrator brushes in that can be used to style Frame Borders in the same way you can use it as stroke styles in Illustrator. InDesign is woefully behind in allowing procedural design.

Please provide interface scaling as in Illustrator and Photoshop.
Please provide interface scaling as in Illustrator and Photoshop. On a Mac / Retina display the panels and type is too small to read. Will not work to set the whole system to scaled as I go back and forth from Illustrator and PSD to Indesign, making it even more difficult to use. Thank you.

Option to split table rows across pages
Lord please, if you're up there, answer our INDD prayers and make this a feature. A LOT of tables have rows with more content than can be held in a single page or bottom of a page. It's impossible to layout a continuous book or brochure if I can't get the table text to split - it doesn't have to be the default, but give me the option - please, please. WORD does this, be better than Word!!

Apply 2 Masters (spread) to a Single Page (tabloid)
There are currently no solutions that I am aware of to sync a Left and Right Master into a larger tabloid page size. This is different from simply using a parent relationship among several master pages. A larger page size (digital friendly) cannot be complied from smaller master pages (print friendly). The ability to apply multiple master pages or master page items as "zones" would probably be ideal as it would allow flexibility for more customization on different page sizes.

Convert / Merge Spreads into Larger Tabloid Pages within InDesign
Many of us are using InDesign to output digital formats as well as print. The inability to convert spreads in large documents that involve things like complex tiered master page assignments and interactive elements between print friendly spreads and digital friendly tabloid page layouts is a major pain. A non-destructive way to move back and forth would dramatically simplify digital exports, and ensure a clean single large page digital presentation to the end user without hassling with software adjustments to view spreads correctly.

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.

Automatic detection of colors with values in all CMYK plates
Background:
For DTP, the color mode must be CMYK. Therefore, RGB black (#000000) is converted to CMYK. This CMYK black color has a value in all CMYK plates. We fix this to K100.Request:
A function that automatically detects colors with values in all CMYK plates. It is best added to the preflight profile. It will greatly help the user.Japanese:
全てのCMYK版に値を持つ色を自動検出背景：
DTPではカラーモードをCMYKにする必要があります。したがって、RGBの黒（#000000）はCMYKに変換されます。この黒はCMYKの全ての版に値を持つ色です。私たちはこれをK100に直します。リクエスト：
全てのCMYK版に値を持つ色を自動検出する機能。プリフライトプロファイルに追加されるのが最善です。それはユーザーを大いに助けるでしょう。11 votes -
Export JPEGs with Text/Art optimized export settings
I consistently use InDesign to develop static mobile and web banner and export them as JPEG or PNG. Currently I feel that the quality of the export is not as good as an export from Photoshop or Illustrator - there is no ability to prioritize the text or artwork like the two software can. Could this be added in InDesign please, maybe even mimic the save-for-web functionality from Photoshop/Illustrator.

InDesign Accessibility Checker feature
I use Indesign to create ADA compliant documents. I constantly have to go between InDesign and Acrobat. It would be more productive if the accessibility features in Acrobat were included in InDesign. It would also be nice to have a built in color checker included in Indesign.
Is there a plug in available??

Color-code GREP styles
Hello, InDesign team.
Please consider allowing users to assign a color to each GREP style, which would be applied as a highlight to text affected by the style. The highlight would, of course, be on-screen only, like the existing highlights for composition problems etc. This would be a quick way to ensure that the style is matching the correct text, without doing what I do now (which is to manually add a color highlight into the definition of each GREP style and then remove them later). Especially helpful for GREP styles whose effect is subtle. Characters affected by multiple GREP…

Enable more functions in right click
I wish right click would bring up more options - for example, right clicking a linked file should give me the option to 'reveal in finder' but I have to open the links pallets to get that. It would improve my workflow no end.

Align Text exactly to the left or right edge of the frame
It's a very logn known issue in InDesign: Different font sizes have different spacings to left or right edge of the frame. The more the font size grows, the more the space to left or right edge of the text frame grows.
From time to time in the past years my clients have noticed that in drafts for correction. This means a lot of additional manual work for large projects in order to align the font correctly.
It would be great and an enormous relief if in one of the next versions the text frames are either already correctly preset,…10 votes
