Bring back ExtendScipt Toolkit for High Sierra and InDesign CC 2018.
Bring back ExtendScipt Toolkit for High Sierra and InDesign CC 2018. The older version of ExtendScript works but the newer does not work. What is the reason for discontinuing ExtendScripts Toolkit? I have 12 designers with a subscription for each one of them and 6 of those designers rely on ExtendScript Toolkit for one of their workflows.

Add image sharpening before output
We should be able to apply sharpening (such as "unsharp masking") to images on the InDesign page.
Currently, the only solution is to place an image, scale it to size in InDesign, and then go back to Photoshop to scale it, resample it (change to proper resolution), and then apply appropriate sharpening… and then go update or re-place it in InDesign. It is very inefficient!
I want InDesign to apply global-sharpening to an image at the proper size, when it outputs to PDF or prints.20 votes -

To Adobe
First thank you for all the excellent programs. The latest feature that has excited me is "Publish Online" in In Design. Here, everyone - especially Apple's unreasonable blockages - is removed.
Especially the blocking of iFrame that is the prerequisite for opening youtube.However, a very crucial feature is missing in InDesign / Publish Online. You can not use a membership function (as far as I know), such as Paid Memberships Pro in WordPress, and it is crucial that, for example, as a producer of educational materials, I can get a necessary earnings.

Smart hyphenation
A great feature would be if InDesign could add hyphenation rules automatically when when using discretionary hyphens. A pop-up window that asks if you want this word to hyphenate on every instance of the word where you insert the hyphen the first time. I find it a bit too tedious to make new H-rules for every word. This is very relevant for non-english languages where the the pre-defined H-rules isn't very good. There is probably better ways to to this, but I think its time InDesign's hyphenation feature get a little bit smarter.

Indic Unicode font rendering is broken in InDesign
When writing text in certain Indic scripts, InDesign does not render the font correctly. For example, using the Padauk font for the Myanmar script, the following string renders the Medial Ra (U+103C) around the consonant Na (U+1014) instead of the consonant Ma (U+1019).
မြန်
This bug is a large blocker when dealing with Indic text in InDesign.

Table borders when a table runs over more than one page
When a table runs over more than one page, the border at the bottom of the table is missing on every page except the last.
You have to make a cellformat to correct this.
It causes errors and doble work if you forget to remove the cellformat when the pageflow with the table changes.

Only show Open Type »O« if there really are Open Type features
It makes no sense to show the »O« if there are no Open Type features. But it slows down the workflow: every time you move the mouse to the O to see if there are maybe some alternatives – and there are not – you loose time. Not very much time, but it adds up.

Image frame option 'fit to bleed'
I'd like to have option 'fit to bleed' next to 'fit to frame' etc. options. So I wouldn't need to move graphic frame corners manually to bleed area.
Not a major issue, but a little improvement :)

Backup the user-defined Document Presets in a different file than Preferences
At the moment, if a user creates several "New Document" Presets in the "New Document" window, they will be deleted if the User has to reset their InDesign preferences.
It would make more sense if the hard work that is put into creating New Document Presets was saved in a different system file (or clouded) so that
1-they don't get lost if resetting InDesign Preferences and
2-the Presets could be shared with other team members easily5 votes -
Font Substitution Preferences
I often have several of the same fonts come up that I'm missing in the documents I'm working on from other people. I think it would be great to be able to have a user preference to define a specific font I have to replace it automatically rather than just a default font.
This could also help with fonts that are technically the same, but one is an open type vs post script version.

Have InDesign remember the size of its application window from last time used
Have InDesign remember the size of its application window from when it was last used and have it open in that same size the next time used. Illustrator and Photoshop already do this...

Discontiguous selection of rows and columns
Being able to select rows and columns that are not adjacent to one another would useful to me. For example, one would like to select columns 1 to 3 and 5 to 7, leaving column 4 unselected.
Often I need to adjust the width of some columns or the height of some rows, leaving others in the middle of the table unadjusted. One instance is when I use a blank column or row to separate groups of data; another is when several discontiguous columns have much longer labels than other columns.

Repeat header and footer options wanted as part of table styles
The "repeat header" and "repeat footer" settings can not be set on a table style.
I'd like to be able to adjust the way table headers and footers repeats from within a table style (including a new "no repeat" option).5 votes -
PageMaker Command Bar
PLEASE bring back the Pagemaker Command Bar. Many of us are not professional designers who remember and utilize all the keyboard shortcuts so we depended on the command bar for a quick and easy way to make changes in our docs. Those who don't need it or use it can simply keep it hidden.

Exporting seperat images as cropped in page design
I layout a newspaper. We have several images on each page. Each image is cropped or framed so it fit on the page.
There is no way to mark 3-4 images on each page and export them as they are cropped/framed - not as the original image is. It's really annoying, because when I want to put the images on the website, the images needs to be cropped the same way as in the articles.
I would really like this option.
Now I have to open each photo in photoshop, crop it, and save it. It' s very time consuming.

InDesign needs language support for Burmese (Myanmar).
InDesign needs language support for Burmese (Myanmar). The corporation I am with is doing a lot of translation currently from English to Burmese and InDesign cannot render the characters correctly. We would also be happy to help fund getting this done as well as provide access to our Burmese translation team. No one wants to type set books and manuals in Microsoft Word...
18 votesInDesign 2020 includes a new text engine to support five new South East Asian languages: Thai, Burmese, Lao, Khmer, and Sinhala.
Your documents can now include text composed in these languages.
Hope you find this new feature useful in your work.We’re marking this “Feature Request” as Completed.
