PDF to InDesign - Preserve Editing Capabilities
In Illustrator, you have an option for saving to PDF to "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" so that you can open the file in Illustrator again and have the whole file including the layers, effects, guides, etc. Can we have this for InDesign as well?
I work with some people that I know use InDesign and export the PDF from there, but don't share the InDesign file so when changes need to be made, it gets a bit more complicated than necessary.2 votes -

Opentype + Glyphs UI Menu Preview
The UI for Opentype is extremely difficult and time consuming to use. The entire thing needs to be set up like Illustrator, with one addition: PREVIEW TYPOGRAPHIC FEATURES (especially the stylistic sets).
This UI feature should behave just like the Fonts Menu: When you open the font family menu with text highlighted, each font you hover over previews on your selected text.
This needs to be replicated for Opentype and Glyphs. So once you open the dropdown for stylist sets or glyphs, each style you hover over, will preview in real time on your selected text or in a pop…

Fix application built-in trapping
I've posted in the forum (twice), and read similar posts by other people, regarding the failure to print application built-in trapping since ID v16. At least in Windows. The last time it worked (for me and for others) was in ID v15. Yes, we are advised to leave trapping to in-RIP, but there are situations when application built-in trapping is necessary.

Empty Text Frames in Preflight Panel
It would be really nice if the Preflight Panel (or another tool) could detect text frames with no text in them and give the user an option to delete them. Empty text frames don't cause that many problems in print, but when you export to ePub, they often create some odd pagination and other errors. I think they usually happen because I bring in a new story and it kicks out 15 pages. Then I highlight the text and apply a style and the text shrinks to 12 pages, but leaves behind empty boxes. If I don't go back and…

Align from page edge
Among the various types of “Align to:”, in addition to “Align to margins” and “Align to page”, it would be useful to also have an “Align from page edge”, considering the edge as an element to distance from. In this way, we can avoid putting empty blocks beyond the page margins to distribute the spacing of objects across the entire page.

sort styles alphabetically with optional case sensitivity
Allow the option to toggle case sensitivity on/off when sorting styles alphabetically, so that one can use case sensitivy to namespace styles.
For documents with a long list of styles, I namespace them so that styles used accross the document are sorted first, then those specific to a section, then those specific to an element of a section, like so:
_body
INTRO _body
INTRO BOX _bodyI name sections and subsections in upper case to easily distinguish, but it actually is the prefix "_" that gets sorting to lay the hierarchy.
It would be nice to just resort on case…

Mark layers as visible in the exported PDF but non-printing from within InDesign export settings
PDFs have the ability to mark layers as non-printing, so that they appear visible on the screen but don't print to hard copy. I'm using this capability to add a light raster background to all pages of a workbook for students, which adds a bit of warm color to the on-screen viewing experience, but I don't want this background to use up all their toner if they decide to print the pages. Similarly, the entire workbook has page numbers, but the worksheets should print without the page numbers, because they're not relevant outside the context of the book.
I found…

Align Stroke to Outside option by default
For me the default Stroke Alignment setting should be Outside. I am always using boxes and frequently need to change the stroke widths. Since the default setting is Center alignment, this resizes the box, which I can't imagine anyone ever wanting. There doesn't seem to be any way to change the default stroke alignment to Outside, so I am constantly having to change this in the Stroke window. Which means we must have the Stroke window open simply because we cannot set the Outside as default. InDesign 19.2, Mac Ventura.

More options when resizing a layout
If I need to resize a page/layout using Document Setup, ideally for me, all of the existing content would remain at the top of the page, so a new, taller page size would add more space at the bottom, or if I wish to shorten a page, empty white space would be removed from the bottom. InDesign 19.2 centers all content vertically on the new page size, which I can't imagine anyone would ever want, forcing the unnecessary step of moving everything back to the top of the new page. You could add a Photoshop-style grid icon to show where…

Add Permission based Security to Adobe Cloud Documents to permit Web Access and Editing without Download to Local Server
I wish to post a large number of INDD Documents as Master files to permit Access and Editing with Saving only to Cloud and not to local drive for those without permission. I propose a second level of permissioning such that we protect original master "template" documents from being downloaded or saved to users local drives unless granted specific permission. This way I can engage remote users to populate and prepare files without risk of losing our valuable IP.

Fonction break apart pour les elements de texte
Bonjour, en tant qu'éditeur de feuillets publicitaires une fonction qui me manque dans Indesign est celle de pouvoir "casser" un grand paragraphe en lignes, c'est à dire que, lorsque je place mon descriptif de tous les produits présents sur mon dépliant je sois capable de le démembrer en lignes, contenant chacune le descriptif d'un produit, snas être obligé de copier ligne par ligne de mon ensemble de descriptifs pour constituer ainsi un bloc de text séparé pour chaque descriptif (cette fonction est présente sur CorelDraw sous la description "break apart" - CTRL+K).
