Push Out Compensation for Perfect Binding on PDF Export
Being able to take a facing page document and adding an amount of cross over bleed from the spine and scaling that amount from the spine to the outer trim would be invaluable to my workflow for large perfect binding books. As it is now stands, I have to separate each spread to single pages and create bleeds towards the spine and move/scale each page to allow for artwork alignment in the final printing and binding.

Please allow font size larger than 1296 pt
I often have to create large posters with a single 3-digit price and 1296pt font isn't cutting it. I have to outline and then enlarge which is a pain when changes need to be made but it i also cannot standardize this element with a style, master page or template. Same for illustrator.

Ad the possibility to have Paragraph Style add a break before or after
In many cases, I want a break after or before a Paragraph with a certain style. e.g.: a chapter heading often needs a Page Break before.
How convenient would it be when this is integrated in a Paragraph Style!7 votes -
color labels onto style-groups
I would appreciate to have the possibility giving colors to style groups. Like the layer-labels in Photoshop. If you have many styles, you would have a better optical separation.

Threaded Text in Tables
This feature will allow text threading via table cells to flow the text across the table.
This will personally help me because I need to colorize specific areas while keeping the text flow. A table is the only real place I can do this.

I want to be able to search for an empty cell in a table, and able to add the cell icon (square) in a search..
I want to be able search for the cell icon in a table or an empty cell.
Sometimes I have to search for empty cells in tables and replace them with an en dash to show that they are intentionally empty.
When you have over 70 tables in each book it would be really helpful to be able to search for an empty cell.
And sometimes I need to search for characters that appear all over the document but I only want to find the ones in a cell, so being able to specify that icon in a search would…

This is an oversight for…like how many versions?
Try to rotate your image inside your picture box, and use Object » "Fit Frame to Content".
Normally, with no modification with the content, the feature works well. But if theres rotation, geez, its way off!

Showing open book files on Start workspace
Situation now:
When opening a book file Indesign adds a book panel showing all contained documents. You can then open documents through this panel. I usually dock the panel to the right with my other panels to keep the workspace tight and clean.But now the tricky part:
When I close all documents I've set Indesign to return to the Start workspace. This shift to another workspace makes the book panel disappear as well (since it is docked with the other panels). I have to go to the menus to find the panel again.
I guess the reason for this…4 votes -
Zoom box in Pages Window
I would like to see in CC InDesign the ability to see where you're zoomed in at in your pages window. Also, I'd like to be able to click and hold onto the highlight zoomed in the area on the pages window and move it to update the preview when I let go of the highlighted zoom box.
This would be helpful for us users that create large catalogs and would like to quickly JUMP-TO a portion of a page. With large catalog files, the program can get sluggish/slow. When the user has to scroll through a bunch of pages…

TABS dialog box - so very tiny...
Am I the only person who finds the Tabs dialog box ridiculously small and difficult to work with? Even if you zoom right into text, the box itself remains the same. In trying to move the indent markers I'm constantly creating unwanted new tab markers which can be easily deleted, but still annoying. Any words of wisdom?
