Interactive PDF Previews
I would LOVE the ability to preview my interactive PDF without having to export it every time I make an edit to a fillable text box or radio button. Can we preview the interactive features in InDesign, and not just in Acrobat?

Remember last selected section in Preferences
Remember the last selected section in the Preferences window.
For example, if I selected File Handling then clicked OK in the Preferences window, File Handling should be selected the next time I open Preferences.
Right now it always defaults to General. While in many cases I want to use the last preferences section I used before when I open the Preferences window.

Author name of PDF annotation exported from InCopy notes must not contain date & time
When exporting from InCopy to PDF with “Include Notes As Annotations” checked, the author name of each PDF annotation should not have the note’s date and time appended as a suffix. Doing so effectively attributes each annotation to a different author and makes PDF comment filtering based on author name (or datetime, would that filter eventually exist) impossible. I consider this a bug.
The date and time of a note should instead be stored in the “modification date & time” metadata of the PDF annotation, which Acrobat populates and displays for annotations created with itself.

Add Javascript for creating interactive Documents
So I had the nice task of creating an interactive PDF document. It needed a bit more logic than Indesign had to offer, so I was forced to use Javascript.
Because Indesign can't add Javascript, the design file and the logic file were separated. I was forced to manually connect the two every time I needed to make a change in Indesign, adding nearly 40 hours to my workload and completely destroying my workflow.
Just being able to add the scripts to the elements would have saved so much time.

Floating sticky notes
Floating sticky notes that I can make myself, for example "Photos completed" "Text revised" "Needs consult" etc. that can be grabbed and stuck to pages, especially for long documents and that remain visible/accessible on every page.I want something I can just grab and stick, grab and stick, etc. rather than create/type a unique note for each page.

Add extra options to the "Add Bullets" panel, like search, resize, favourite, etc.
The "Add Bullets" panel is tiny and super limited. It should be possible to resize, search and even favourite your preferred glyphs to make the process much more efficient.

Make PNG/JPG Exports Background Tasks
As the topic says... having the export of PNG/JPG files as a background task would be extremely helpful for those of us working in comics and doing high volumes of rendering work.
Likewise, making this a multithreaded/parallel process for speed and efficiency would also be highly appreciated.

Page Layout Management in Bridge for InDesign Files
It would be extremely beneficial to have a feature in Bridge that can interact with InDesign files, allowing for the visualization of individual pages directly within the Bridge interface. Furthermore, the ability to compose an overall layout for a magazine or book from separate pages in Bridge, or another similar software, would significantly improve the workflow for many users.
This feature could save us countless hours, improve collaboration between teams, and potentially revolutionize the way we create composite pieces.
I look forward to hearing from you on this suggestion.

Download HTML master from Publish Online
It would be nice to have the possibility to give sort of a HTML "master" with all the animations, buttons, interativities, etc. as can be seen in the uploaded document. That way, this master could be storaged where the client wants: own server, own PC, historical arquive in their web or wherever they would like.
Also, it makes it easier in case the designer/agency using Publish Online breaks parts with the client, breaks parts with Adobe, ends activity for good or any similar situation. And I'm pretty sure it would also be cool for Adobe to not have all that…2 votes -
Export Image Metadata and Keyword contents contained within any image when exported as a .PNG file
Export Image Metadata and Keyword contents contained within any image when exported as a .PNG file. Why should the metadata and keyword contents embedded in an image file be wiped when exported as a .PNG File>. AS the need for transparent PNG files needed for AR experiences becomes more critical for use in Aero and other AR environments, the metadata should travel with any export from INDD

Package convert images to specific format
For architects, urban designers, and artists, InDesign has become an essential tool. However, our needs differ from those of graphic designers, introducing unique challenges. We often maintain specific folder structures for original files, repurposing them for various mediums - be it print, websites, or emails. For instance, when delivering a poster, it's inefficient to include large PSD images in both the 'links' folder and another location. Notably, for academic submissions, recipients often don't require layered files; they need images suitable for websites, emails, etc. Considering that most competition or submission layouts remain static after submission, a "convert images to a…

It would be great if we can get control over layer visibility by page in addition to by document. Add a visibility-by-page icon next to the visibility-by-document icon that controls visibility by page.

Add OpenType attributes into Find/Change search criteria
InDesign lets users search for type attributes found in Paragraph and Character style criteria, but it does not let users search for applied OpenType attributes like fractionals, etc. in the Find/Change dialog box. It would be useful to find and fix issues when OpenType attributes don't perform as expected.
Since Adobe is making such a big push to abolish Type 1 fonts in its applications, I think that it would be a useful gesture to include OpenType attributes to its search criteria options through the Edit>Find/Change... menu command.

disable launch image
Disable Launch Image
I do not think the launch images in photoshop, indesign and illustrator are culturally sensitive. They should not include any people especially not raunchy females. They should be totally neutral - landscapes, nature, no people please!!13 votes -
Consider built-in compression of .indd files
Since .indd files could be compressed (e.g. zip) with saving between 50% to 70% of disc space: Please consider to implement a compression algorithm natively into InDesign.
Thanks

Integrate Adobe Express/Canva-like features into Indesign
So Adobe Indesign has some BASIC animations and I feel this is a completely missed opportunity on Adobe's behalf. Apps like Canva have been spreading like wildfire for years and while Adobe has released Express it is a poor cousin. The idea behind Express/Canva is to have an easy-to-create, templated video/animated solution for social media (which let's face it, is mostly video now), yet as a very heavy InDesign user I should be able to animate and export these animations while also taking advantage of the powerful mail merge (text, images, and it really needs to also have swatches), bulk…

Would like to be able to anchor images anywhere and have the text wrap respected
Specific anchor location is important for placements in ePub/HTML exports. However, there are a couple major drawbacks with InDesign's current anchoring abilities.
(1) If an image is supposed to appear after a certain paragraph, but that paragraph ends on the previous spread, you cannot anchor the image to the paragraph it belongs with on the previous spread. (see screenshot: ToPreviousSpread.png). This seems to defeat the purpose of an anchored object. It can't be anchored so will not travel with re-flowing text and it will not Export to ePub/HTML in that specific location.
(2) Images cannot be anchored after their placement…
