Automatic Vertical Justification for entire document
We are facing more manual work for Vertical Justification during pagination process. We need a option to make Vertical Justification for entire document without disturbing in between lines space.
We already saw such option in 3B2 platform and it's very useful if we have a option for InDesign.

Linking to Excel files
It would be nice if one could link to an Excel file during placement rather than having to change the preferences on and off.
Also, it would be nice if InDesign remembered how many rows were marked as header rows when updating linked files.

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.

ShortcutKey property to styles
It would be handy to have a shortcutKey property in ParagrapStyle and CharacterStyle objects. I know these properties can be manipulated via idml's Styles file, but it is arduous.

Allow set Style Override Highlighter as red stroke instead of blue background color so that it does not obscure style highlighting
Style Override Highlighter's appearance (blue background) conflicts with the still existing feature of highlighting styles with different colors, in order to visually identify what parts of the text use what style, accessible via scripts such as Stylighter (http://www.indiscripts.com/post/2013/11/stylighter-1-4-for-indesign-cs4-cs5-cs6-cc).
Being able to set it back to red stroke over text instead of a background color, as it was before the Style Override Highlighter button was officially added, would allow to see at the same time the style being used (by the color of the background) and whether it had overrides (by the presence of a red stroke). That was…

Add "Square" and "Cirlce" to the [Object>>Convert Shape] menu options
I use Object >> Convert Shape a lot. But with the existing options, if I want to convert to a square/circle I have to first convert to a rectangle/ellipse, then manually enter width and height dimensions to make them equal. Would be nice to skip that step and just have direct option to convert to square/circle.

I want a generic command to repeat the least command I executed. Like control-Y does in the much-hated MS Word....Saves time.
I want a generic command to repeat the least command I executed. Like control-Y does in the much-hated MS Word....Saves time.
I often wind up doing the same thing many times, like applying a char style or whatever. I want a keyboard shortcut to repeat whatever I did last.

Please rename the Assignment panel to the InCopy Workflow panel
We don't use Assignments and we don't know anyone who does, we all work on the layout; but use the Assignments panel to track the status of our stories, in the "Unassigned InCopy" category. The panel should be renamed to InCopy Workflow, though the ability to create assignments can stay for the minority of people who use that feature.

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.

Duplicate page, remove guides, select similar objects on whole document
Need to duplicate not only one page at a time, but set the amount of copies,
and get it inserted right after the duplicating page not after the last page.
Need to remove guides and select (edit) similar objects, like container boxes, not only on a spread but on the whole document.
Need to select all boxes on the spread and insert the same image into all in one click.

Price format : Wordbased diagonal strike-through
Price formatting : we need a character style that allows BARRED PRICE styles : a diagonal strikethrough in a different colour, and needs a line style which allows a full line or a dotted line version . See screenshot
Millions of uses a day. For a lot of indesign brochure designers.

Easier conversion of tables from Word to InDesign
I would love to be able to copy and paste cells exactly as they are in MS Word and MS Excel into a formatted InDesign table. Unfortunately, if there is a hard return in one of the cells in MS, then InDesign reads it as a new cell so you have to copy cell by cell.

in the "Printer Marks" tutorial, specify exactly how to print fold marks.
The Printer's Marks tutorial (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/printers-marks-bleeds.html) says: If you select the Crop Marks option, fold marks are printed as solid lines when spreads are printed. But there is no detail about how to create fold marks, and simply printing crop marks does not appear to automatically create fold marks or offer any option to do so. More clarity and specifics would be helpful.

Allow upload of separate PDF
It would be nice if we could choose the PDF to be available for users to download. Sometimes interactivity creates pages that don't look good in PDFs. Sometimes companies simply have different PDFs they'd like to be downloaded.

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.
