Tabbing Sequence in Properties window
When changing an open document's size from Properties window, pressing tab after changing the 'Width' takes you to 'Number of pages' field instead of 'Height' field.
When working quickly this can disrupt productivity, especially when you're waiting to have '297 pages' created instead of simply changing the canvas to 297mm height. A minor but convenient change.

Place Photoshop artboards into InDesign
We need to be able to place Photoshop artboards into InDesign.
This should work similar to placing Illustrator artboards or placing pages from a PDF or another InDesign file.
Thanks.
52 votesThanks for the info. This is indeed correct that since the various artboards come in as a layers the dimensions are of the entire document which can be problematic. Adding this to our backlog.

CC Libraries and data merge
Please enable @datafields to work with asset names in CC libraries or at least open up the CC Libraries to scripting the way normal Libraries are. I have client assets spread over several libraries and the ability to add them programatically on/after a datamerge in some way would be invaluable.

Save dialog filename box width
For the love of mercy, PLEASE make the Save/Save As title dialog box widen with the window! I almost never have enough room to see the full filename, which means it takes additional clicks/keypresses to see the end.

Removal of direct selection function in images
Hi,
it would be possible to disable the moving of an image when I select the central point (it automatically activates the direct selection) and this is very annoying.sorry for the english, but I used the google translator.

Color Picker Shortcut
There are a bunch of ways to select color in InDesign, but the easiest and omnipotent way is using color picker, unfortunately, there's no way to call it out in Indesign unless you double-click the fill/stroke icon in the tools panel
and theres no way to add a customised shortcut to the color picker panel as well. I really wish to see this feature in future InDesign

Integrate InDesign ME with InDesign
I currently require occasional use of right-to-left text and therefore require InDesign ME. A major problem with the ME version, however, is that the help page defaults to Arabic. Since I’ve chosen English يدعم العربية as my language choice, one would think an English option would also be available, but no such luck. It really isn't clear to me why the ME version needs to be a separate product rather than simply integrating the right-left features directly into the regular version

Independent column widths in text frame
Please add the option to have independent column-widths in a text frame. This would be really useful for text in nearly any letterhead footer.

Content Aware Fitting as an Auto-Fit option
A bit of a scripting request, but also as a feature of vanilla InDesign, it's not available. Auto-Fit currently only supports the following properties:
CONTENTTOFRAME
FILL_PROPORTIONALLY
PROPORTIONALLY
NONEIt would be super cool to be able to apply 'CONTENTAWAREFIT' as an Auto-Fit option on an empty frame.

Media Panel - PDF options of Video playback
Would be good if you could have more control over the behaviour of a video once output to PDF.
Currently all videos properties are set to "disable Content is selected from the context menu"
As a result I then have to edit each video property individually in acrobat DC to set it to
"The page containing the content is closed"3 votes -
More options when creating Forms via InDesign
InDesign has a few features that make it possible to export an interactive PDF-Formular directly from InDesign.
This CAN save a lot of time when customers require changes on these Files but sadly InDesign is missing out a lot of features that Adobe Acrobat has - even though it'd be a lot easyier to set everything up in InDesign.
So in my opinion the Formular menue needs some improvement and get more functionality (In Acrobat you can define a font VS via InDesign you can't) since more and more customers request Interactive PDF-Forms etc.
It would be valuable to us…
186 votesDear All,
Now you can set fonts/typeface directly in InDesign while creating PDF forms. This feature is now available in latest InDesign CC version. Please upgrade to the latest release.
Thanks

Allow the cursor to change from black to red, or any colour in spectrum (colour blind)
Create a colour cursor option to change colour from black to red/green/blue/etc. I find extremely difficult to follow the black cursor in InDesign as it competes with the various Application Frames./dropdown menus.

Generated captions match FULL IPTC from Photoshop
Hi.
I’m trying to get those lines from Stock images I buy :
<photoshop:Credit>byheaven - stock.adobe.com/photoshop:Credit <photoshop:Source>93738394/photoshop:SourceI found no way to do that in inDesign with the current caption tool.
But what became funny was comparing Photoshop’s RAW DATA info :
<pur:creditLine>
<rdf:Bag>
<rdf:li>byheaven - stock.adobe.com/rdf:li
/rdf:Bag
/pur:creditLinewith what inDesign gets me as XMP info :
/dc:title
<photoshop:AuthorsPosition>camera and album with old family photos/photoshop:AuthorsPosition
<photoshop:ColorMode>3/photoshop:ColorMode
<photoshop:ICCProfile>sRGB IEC61966-2.1/photoshop:ICCProfile
<photoshop:History>HASH(0x2d15488), HASH(0x2d15710), HASH(0x2d15740), HASH(0x2d15290), HASH(0x2d15770), HASH(0x2d15350), HASH(0x2d15428)/photoshop:History

ID - Lock option - color fields / color groups
Hey there,
i wish i could lock color fields / color groups to prevent any resulting sources of error.
For example a fixed logo color which shouldn't be different.
Kind regards and big thanks!

Removal/editing of the dumb "When in doubt, make a layout" line.
God, that's such a stupid thing to see every time I open InDesign. How about a checkbox for "Hide greeting message"?

Soft version of "Update Table of Contents"
If there is a Table of Content, with some correction in it (for example line breaks) and after that, there is a small correction in the content area, which followed by loosing one page. Therefore it would be great, to just update the Page-numbers, instead updating the whole ToC.
(sorry for bad english)
