Make “Undeline Options” in the Character panel maintain the last settings.
Please make “Undeline Options” in the Character panel maintain the last settings and apply those to each new underlinining, as opposed to resetting to the default every time. As this makes us users have to go into the Character dropdown for “Undeline Options” and set the distance and with over and over and over and over again ... Yes, applying styles may take care of this problem but I don’t alway bother to create styles for each small project. Thank you!

When you issue a new version of ANY Adobe package keep the help text in synch
It is a poor indicator of an organisations ability to manager Quality Control in it's software when it allows the hep text to fall behind the release cycle. Using the most recent version of CC Indesign, the Help text suggests that I am able to add a new page by using the pages panel. It further goes in to say that if it is NOT visible it will be in the Window menu. When I check the menu there is no such facility.

Error in InDesign
There is since several (!) updates an error in InDesign which is really stupid!
If you split the document into two windows (with the button on the right bottom) you should be able having two contents of a document. This worked for years without any problem. Bust since several version this function makes only nonsense!
We produce a lot of user guides in several languages (usually 3-4, sometimes up to 12 languages). For checking them we open as described the split screen. on the left side we use the main language (for ex. German), on the right side we have…2 votes -
Strip Newlines from Cross-References and Table of Contents
When taking some headlines that have newlines in them, cross reference also keep inline newlines in the text they output. This can also occur in table of contents.
It would be nice to have a checkbox that would strip newlines from these.
There is also a bug where if a heading's style changes in the middle of the paragraph (I have a box with a smaller heading and then a colon with a subtitle afterwards eg. "Abilities: Learning to Stack Techniques", the text before the colon and the text after have different styles), sometimes the cross reference will output that…

Endnotes placement needs to be adjusted
The way books work is that the notes to a chapter fall immediately after the end of the text, not on a new page. Please change this feature so that we can force the notes to a new page if that's how we want them, but they normally fall after the end of the text. Other than that, the dynamic endnotes feature will be nice when someone decides to add or delete notes.

Make "Start workspace" default go to open files
I would like the "Start workspace" to be my go to open document workspace in Indesign. Also when documents are already open.
I find it very useful to see thumbnails of my work instead of the "Open recent" filelist.2 votes -

Choose page number when inserting a PDF
When inserting a pdf into a frame box, it would be nice to be able to select which page number you'd like to insert (with a preview). Similar to when you open a PDF in illustrator.

Correction in Dictionary Criteria for Hyphens (Portuguese)
Most of hyphenation in Portuguese splits sylables from two consonants in a row (r-r, s-s Ex: 'car-ro', 'profis-são'), but this is not true for nasal sounds formed with the letter H (lh, nh) and I see myself having to review this hyphenation constantly. For example, the correct hyphenation is 'traba-lho', but inDesign usually hyphenates 'trabal-ho' (which is incorrect). It is a simple addition to the program that could save a lot of reviewing time.
There are some other issues too.
Could you please check that out and review the hyphenation rules as of grammar? Portuguese has quite a bit of…1 vote -

Create an hyperlink to a "not specific" file or folder with a generic name like "AAA*.pdf"
To make an hyperlink to a “not specific” file or folder.
For example:
In the reference folder I can have a file named “TIM 111.pdf” or “TIM 222.pdf”.
I would like to make a hyperlink like “TIM*.pdf” that opens the file that I have in the reference folder without specified the complete file name.1 vote -

Paragraph adjacent to the previous without indentation
Such a paragraph model exists in some word processors. It's not always convenient to add the same nested styles to a dozen different paragraph styles.
Also, this feature would solve some other problems (for example, you could create a list in one paragraph)

Either copywriting or translation need to be watched
This message is about idiomatic usages in the interfaces of Adobe products and their mistranslations into other languages.
When those mistranslations don't cause inadequacy in the Adobe software's useability by professionals because they guess what it meant in the interface, professionals just make fun of them and pass them by.
But when they can't guess what it meant in the interface, Adobe lose credit because some features of the Adobe software is not known by professionals.
I will give you an example in the second situation. In the Adobe InDesign software, there is a mistake causes misunderstanding in the Turkish…

More stability with the CC account connection
INDD is most of the time unable to convert recent documents to an old version. Everything is connected, CC is active, but conversion fails.
Same with libraries. INDD is connected, but libraries are not available (disconnected of CC).
The only solution is to reboot the system, I can't spend my working time to reboot computers.

Markierter Text
Seit dem letzten Update reagiert die Tastatur seltsam.
Markiert man in einem gewöhnlichen Texrahmen ein einzelnes Zeichen und schreibt ein neues ist alles wie gewohnt.
Sobald man aber zwei oder mehr Zeichen markiert schreibt InDesign erst beim zweiten Zeichenanschlag. Das erste eingetippte Zeichen wird also immer unterschlagen, sehr nervig!1 vote
