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.

Quick image adjustments in InDesign
Sometimes when creating a document I need to ever so slightly brighten the image or adjust the contrast, maybe increase the saturation; and standard workflow means pulling these up in Photoshop and applying the changes and the saving (often as a new file so as to preserve the original).
This always seems like alot of effort for something that I feel could be done on InDesigns side.
I am suggesting image quick adjustments.
So an image is coming out slightly too dark. No worries, right click, apply quick adjustments. A new tool box will open that will have basic image…
63 votesThank you for voting for the feature request.
It will be helpful if you can add your responses for the below queries.1. In the absence of this feature in InDesign – how do you make these adjustments today?
2. Once the image is imported into InDesign, what kind of adjustments do you mostly need?
3. On an average, in a project, how many images need adjustments once they are imported into InDesign?

Exporting Animated Files
Please make exporting animation files accessible again. Various formats to save animation files would be good, too. Thank you.

Sub-folder grouping master pages
Implement a more robust system for grouping and organizing master pages. Current the long list view is cumbersome, and has limited view options (aside from the thumbnail size). A sub-folder system would allow for more truncated views of page groups that fit better in defined sets.

No Multi-Processor support for InDesign?
InDesign were and still is very slow. Now I work on an iMac 2017 with i7 processor with 4.2 GHz and Radeon Pro 580 8GB graphics with InDesign 14.0.1. The i7 is a Quadcore CPU but if InDesign works, it still works on just 1 Core! So InDesign ist still slow and the Beachball appears very often. Photoshop instead uses all the performance of this great machine.
Isn't it possible, to use all CPU-cores and maybe additionally the GPU with InDesign, to increase the performance?

Keyboard shortcut to adjust paragraph indents
I'd like to be able to quickly adjust the left, right, first and last line indents of my paragraph using a Quick Apply or a custom keyboard shortcut.
I find it strange that it doesn't already exist, given the countless other basic adjustments available in the shortcuts panel.

Locking Tab Bar
It would be really helpful if the user had the ability to lock the tabs bar under the rulers in inDesign. It's an annoyance to have it floating and having to re-open it constantly. It would be nice to have the tabs panel located right underneath the ruler and then give the option to hide it or show it.

Option to set Overprint at 0 % color value
I would like to be able to set objects which are colored with 0% color value(halftone) to overprint.
I need this function for example to color objects with the color varnish and to get correct color separations. Because everything that is colored with varnish should overprint.
Until now I correct this in the PDF I export from Indesign. But it would be desirable if this setting could already be made in Indesign.

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.

Multiple footnote referencing
I thought of a way to implement multiple references to the same footnote without breaking HTML links between footnotes.
You could allow for the creation of multiple footnote links from the text into footnotes that point to the same footnote, with a sequence of different secondary designations. For example, footnote 1a, 1b, 1c... all could point to Footnote 1. Then, in the footnote, you could open with 1 a b c ..., with the different letters providing alternate linkbacks to the other places in the text.
This is how Wikipedia handles multiple referencing to the same citation, so there's precedent.…

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…

Show only Font familys in Font preview
Since the latest layout change the font searchbar improved, BUT it takes way longer to actually find a font, becouse every Version of the font is displayed, instead of the whole Family (so Arial Bold, Arial Medium etc... instead of Arial, Futura, etc). This is especially confusing, when working with similar named font familys or diffenrt varants of familys. I would suggest a option in the preferences of all Adobe programs to change etween family preview and single style preview, with the first set as default.
