Larger thumbnails in the Page Pallet
I would like to see the thumbnails in the InDesign Page Pallet larger so that components of the page are easily recognizable. Currently the Jumbo thumbnail size is not sufficient. Perhaps a slider feature similar to 'View Options' in Apple Finder?

Show and hide
Currently, you can only delete a publication, but not pause it. It would be a great advantage to be able to show and hide a publication without removing it completely.

Find/Change text in Index entries too
I find it amazing that we have been relegated to using fancy scripts to perform what should be a simple find and replace.
Currently (as far as I know) search and change (aka Find and Replace) has no means to affect an index and its entries. There are scripts that try and address this shortcoming, but why? This is a simple and basic function. Correction, should be a simple and basic function.1 vote -

Buttons and forms (Interactive) panel needs revamping
The panel is barely usable in it's current form for anything more than a few buttons per page due to not being able to increase the height and width of the panel, especially the visibility section when a button is highlighted. At the bare minimum this needs to be resizable so that more can be seen so that linking and adjusting the on/off states of buttons can be performed more easily.
Ideally, the panel needs an overhaul so that multiple buttons can be shift+selected so that they can be set to be called before being visible by default, or switched…

Auto Package INDD files by Default
It would be helpful if InDesign packaged documents by default when they are created. Ideally, as fonts and linked images are added to/deleted in the document, they are auto added/deleted in the package.
This would be a time saver and would ideally eliminate the unnecessary duplicate INDD file created in the current package output and ensure all the current assets are in the file without ever having to manually update.

List out page numbers when deleting pages
When deleting pages, a simple "You are deleting pages #X- #X" confirmation would be great, just to confirm the intended pages are selected for deletion. Currently, it just confirms you want to delete "the selected pages," which is vague.

Adding a Table tab to the Find/Change dialogue box
It will be very useful adding to the Find/Change dialog box a new tab for controlling the table and cell by the all options and settings available.

Request of to Index "Index entry", "page reference" and "Yomi" CSV export Feature.（【要望】索引の「項目」「ページ番号」「読み」のCSV書き出し）
I hope to Index "Index entry", "page reference" and "Yomi" CSV export Feature.
Currently, the Japanese version does not sort as expected and the indexing function is difficult to use.
It would also reduce the difficulty of indexing in multi-person operations.索引の「項目」「ページ番号」「読み」をCSVで書き出せるようにして欲しい。
現状、日本語版はソートが期待通りいかず、索引機能が使いづらいものとなっている。
また、複数人の作業における索引作成の困難も軽減してくれると思われる。9 votes -
Hej Jag råkade ut för ett problem vid packning för tryck.
När jag packade en bok med 300 bilder för tryck hämtade InDesign bildfiler från olika bildmappar och samlade till en Link-mapp.
Problemet blev när två bilder från två olika fotografer hade samma namn eg. sifferkod (IMG3061). Då lade InDesign till suffixet _1 så att den andra bilden döptes till (IMG30611). När detta gjordes gavs ingen varning att det skedde. Därför blev resultatet att i den efterföljande tryckfils-processen länkades bildfilen (IMG3061) upp på två ställen.
Så därför bör Adobe lägga upp en varning att den hämtat två bilder med samma namn och fråga om det stämmer. Jmf…1 vote -
Export Adobe PDF > Create separate pdf > Suffixes options (looking for Page Master suffix)
Exporting pages as separate PDFs, I want to ad the Masterpage-names in the PDF-file-name as an Suffix. (Perhaps followed by the pagenumber if necessary.)
Example:
Making single-page flyers, I've got Masterpages (Which contains a footer.) for different languages.
I make the same flyer on p1: UK, p2: FR, p3 DE, ...When exporting all pages to a separate PDF I would like to ad the Master-page-name (or prefix) as a Suffix to the filenames like:
FlyerUK
FlyerFR
Flyer_DEOr if the Master-page is used on multiple pages:
FlyerUK-p1
FlyerUK-p2
FlyerFR

Don't prioritize line breaks after end brackets ] }
Newer versions of InDesign identify the position immediately after a bracket -- ] or } -- as a high-priority for a new line. Earlier verions did not.
1. For us, that's a big problem because we use some fonts on which a different image is at this location, and it must connect with the one that follows. We never want a new line to start here. (The nonjoiner character fixes this, but it would be far easier if it didn't happen at all.)
2. Most of the time, when these characters are used as bracket, there will be a space…1 vote -
Ability to change text from a dialog box like Corel Draw
I use Corel Draw from time to time and when I need to edit a string of text it lets me edit it from a dialog box instead of only on the page so I do not have to zoom up on any text strings to edit them. Can this be done for InDesign and Illustrator as well.

Hidden pages alert
PLEASE add an alert on a PDF export if pages are hidden. For many projects, we cannot risk have pages hidden in the final PDF (i.e., proposals).

Export document with specific pages in multiple color spaces
I do medical journals, and I frequently have clients who request their document in 2 versions: a full color version for online, and a version where some, but not all of the pages are in grayscale for the printer, to save on printing cost.
It is yes possible to export an entire document converted to a grayscale color space, with some admittedly janky workarounds which it would also be nice to see streamlined.
But at the moment, what I do for my needs is I have to export a full color version, a separate grayscale version, and then manually collate…

White spot
not only in indesign, but in the entire Adobe suite, I require that it be possible to have a white spot color. This means being able to assign a white color that also allows the overprint definition. At the moment only the competition allows it.

Copy text from the Indesign Review panel, into my text in my Indesign file.
I work a lot with the review links, and I can copy text from the webbrowser review panel; but not from the review panel in Indesign itself. Which makes that If I need to copy a piece of text; written by my reviewers, to adjust in the copy of my file, I have to go to the web version of the link, copy there, go back to ID, find the piece of copy I want to adjust and paste it in there. Very time consuming work around.
Can this be fixed?

Share for Review - Option for reviewers to toggle single page and spread view.
It would be great if the review online interface had the option to view the project as spreads or as single pages.
My coworkers who review prefer to make notes/revisions as single pages, but the publications I create are designed as spreads. It's a pain to go through and share as single pages and then move them back to spreads as I work. It would save me from exporting extra PDF samples to show full layouts when there is so much back and forth.
