Numbering positions
I'd like to be able to place numbering AFTER text, such as "Recommendation 1.2" and be able to cross-reference that in the appendix as "1.2", but all of the work-arounds I've seen are very clunky and prone to issues with long report documents.

Share for Review - needs added feature
It would be extremely useful to be able to stop specific reviewers from commenting at a certain point - allowing others to continue. This would allow the wider group in an org. to comment - but then have the ringleader sort through their internal comments, accept them or remove them - then provide me (the designer) with a draft to make my edits from. Right now, people can still comment way after they have been told the commenting time is over.

A preset to limit your FONT view to preferred language, such as the one chosen by OS/region.
I have to use Noto Sans; Its required by my work at my University.
Is there a way to limit your font view to preferred language chosen by OS/region. My font menu is a mess of languages and it's hard to navigate to choose just "Noto Sans." Try it... really.. Try and Type "Noto Sans"... I never get the one I type it's always one of the other languages versions.
- So when a user choose their working language, InDesign offer them the right set of font.
Font lists are wayyyy tooooooo long to contain all the wolds languages by default!…

rename character and paragraph styles using a batch renaming feature
It would be incredibly helpful if we could rename character and paragraph styles using a batch renaming feature, similar to what is available in Bridge. This would be especially beneficial when creating accessible PDFs through a Book file. When the same style names appear across different files, it causes tag issues during export via MadeToTag, requiring manual adjustments to all the styles. Since we frequently work with a variety of documents, this process becomes quite cumbersome over time. Thank you so much!

Allow Share for Review Comments to be Printed or Exported
I can't believe you can't print or export comments created during a Shared Review. I had a reviewer ask for her comments to keep as a record for the next round of document updates and there is NO FEATURE in the browser, or InDesign that will allow those comments to be printed, PDF'd, or exported (so I could import them into a PDF for permanent archival).
This is a HUGE missing feature.
My company archives all comments from InDesign's Share for Review and in some cases I've had them disappear entirely.
Adding the ability to print those comments to a…

A better, user friendly, way to create fractions
There should be an easier way to create a fraction beyond changing to an open type font that supports fractions. Something similar to what QuarkXpress does with its Make Fraction feature that can be applied to any font type at any font size.

Please change the default View-Display Performance-back to Typical. The high quality display takes a very long time to load.
Please change the default View-Display Performance-back to Typical. Or at least when I save it with that setting, keep the setting. The high quality display takes a very long time to load.

Allow placement of PDFs/images by actual page size, not their bounding box.
Enable an option to place or drag-and-drop PDF and image files based on their actual page dimensions (MediaBox or defined size), rather than defaulting to bounding box-based fitting—the following alignment of such is unnecessary hustle. Ideally with user-selectable placement mode (bounding box vs. full page).

Create a checkbox to block and unblock text edition.
I work with book layouts and sometimes will accidentally type in a letter into the already written text while formatting it. Most times I noticed and undo it, but here and then a mistake may go unnoticed and risk having that typo printed.
It would be interesting to rely on a feature that allows me to easily disable and enable writting.
For instance, when the box is marked, I can still edit size, color, all that, but can no longer add or delete any text.
When it's unmarked, it works as usual.
Another option would be a "popup" that shows…3 votes -
Interactivity, LIVE while using InDesign - Object States and Buttons that work at ANY time - ala AE 'Essential Graphics'
Interactivity, LIVE while using InDesign - Object States and Buttons that work at ANY time - ala AE 'Essential Graphics'.
There is the potential for InDesign to be a powerful QC authoring tool in our industry. We apply technical charts over the images which designers have created, like pitch/checker-decks. We need many different aspect ratios but repetition of the overlays and much of the info. We previously had over 90 layers the user would need to make visible or invisible - this is tedious and antithesis of good UX.
Essential Graphics in AfterEffects is somewhat close to the idea we…1 vote -
Password requirements / limitation for publish online function
We are facing an issue, that we have to use a specific password, which the customer define and we have to use for protecting the documents. It's not allowed, to use a different password.
This password is longer than 20 characters, but you have rules for the password and one of it is defined, that the password has not to be longer than 20 characters.
That means for us, we cannot share any Adobe files with these customer, which means, that we have to use competitor tools, which allows a password with more than 20 characters...
Would be great, when…1 vote -
Regarding New InDesign PDF Editing Feature
Hi,
I hope this message finds you well.
We recently became aware of a new feature currently in beta within Adobe InDesign, which allows users to open and edit PDF files directly in InDesign. While we understand this can be a powerful enhancement for many workflows, we would like to raise a concern from the perspective of an enterprise customer.
We frequently shares open PDFs with clients and external partners for review and approval purposes. The ability to convert these PDFs into fully editable InDesign files—even in its current limited beta stage—presents a significant risk to the security and integrity…

Display effective ppi and actual ppi of selected image at the Control panel
I'd like to see the effective ppi and actual ppi of an image displayed at the Control panel for easy of use. It's a very important information for me as I routinelly place several images on our publications and it's really cumbersome to have to open the Links panel or the Info panel just to check an image resolution while there's plentiful of unused space at the Control panel where this information could sit.

MathML Fonts Configure and CMYK color Usage
Hello Experts,
I have an doubt on how to configure the Math job fonts (e.g., STIX General and Mathmatical PI and Symbol fonts etc.,) to new feature MathML.

GUIDES and View Outlines / Zoom
Would these small implementations be possible in Indesign?
GUIDES
- Creation of guides from Paths (as it works in illustrator)
- Possibility to move guides eg: 30°VISUALIZATION
- Possibility to have the display in Outlines (as in illustrator), It seems a stupid choice but it is often useful for selecting points and objects ...
I think that with the GPU acceleration just implemented this function would be feasible.ZOOM: Couldn't you increase the Zoom I don't know 8000% / 16000% ?? 64000%??????

Make it possible to anchor a graphic to the beginning of a paragraph without five or six tries and two or three zooms
It'll go AFTER the first letter…it'll go some random place in the first FEW letters, but before the first one? Especially if the first one is a sans-serif letter "I"? HAHAHAHAHAH! No. Not without cajoling, retrying, zooming, threatening, and telling it what a good little cursor it is.
I realize this isn't a **** problem, but it's been literally decades of this feature being…what's the technical term…bad.

Typographer’s quotes need to be the default
I have been using InDesign since 2006. The so-called “typographer’s quotation marks” that are an option that needs to be activated in the settings menu are quotation marks. Set as default is a glyph denoting an inch. This cannot be used instead of quotation marks and why that even is an option in pro software is incomprehensible. Even though the majority of InDesign users will be typographers, it is unnecessary to create an opportunity for less knowledgable users to make mistakes. – It’s a relic from the typewriter keyboard where there was only one glyph available for quotation marks and…

Typographer’s quotation marks need to be the default.
I have been using Indesign since maybe 2006. There is an item called “typographer’s quotes” and that is still present in the latest version. It should have been removed years ago. They are quotation marks. The default ones are the glyph for “inch”. This is a relic from the typewriter keyboard where there was only one key for both. Please amend asap.
