Font Height Reference. Can we have this existing Illustrator functionality for Indesign?
This is very useful for producing legible large-format environmental graphics. Often distance legibility tables are based on the x-height or the cap height. Being able to set these directly without an Em box look-up will save a significant amount of time.

Why not add File Suffixes functionality for all export types? (PDF etc...)
It's just what the tagline suggests. Seems simple to complete.

Add space before when first on page
When there is a Title which is set to be first on page, in some cases it is needed to have some space before. For example, chapter title. It is easier to set that through Paragraph Style than to set as a box feature. That feature existed in Xerox Ventura Publisher more than 30 years ago, and exists in Affinity Publisher. It is one smole checkbox in Indent and Spacing, but a big help for us who are in book layout business.

Improve the preview quality for effects like drop shadows a.s.o.
When applying an effect like drop shadow to an item, the preview is always bad - even in high quality preview. I have to write a PDF to see if the shadow looks like I want it to. Especially with very small/thin shadows, the preview is always pixelated. Please improve that

Custom Font Menu
Please ad the ability to customize a font menu. In order, with colour across all software and the ability for it to over-ride current files with that same custom menu.
The favourites is just not as powerful at custom order and colour coding for each kind of font style.1 vote -
Add 'contact shadows' like in Keynote, rather than just plan old drop shadows. The contact shadow is used for products standing upright.
Add 'contact shadows' like in Keynote, rather than just plan old drop shadows. The contact shadow is used for products standing upright, like bottles, loafs of bread etc etc. Have a look at this on keynote and you'll understand what I mean.

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?

I design auction catalogues with upwards of 350 images per catalogue. We often have auction lot numbers and text close to the image so I like to select images to Multiply so no text is accidentlly hidden. I manually have to do per each spread. It would be nice to do in one step by selecting all images in links palette and setting to Multiply.

Allow the continuity of footnotes according to pages and not blocks OR chaining anchored text blocks ?!
I use anchored boxes which (unfortunately) contain notes.
The numbering of the notes resumes as if it were the start of another document, that is to say at 1.
I would like it to be possible for these note numbers to follow the previous ones and for the following ones to take them into account:
note 1 in the text – anchored box with note which should be 2 (and not 1) – note which should be 3 in the text (but which will be 2…). Aaaargh…
Perhaps a numbering option like in the paragraph styles/Bullets and numbering options where…1 vote -

InDesign Cannot Artifact Leader Dots (Accessibility)
InDesign has no way of artifacting leader dots. This can only be done in PDF. Leader dots are commonly used in tables of contents to guide the reader's eye from the end of the entry to the page number. Leader dots are voiced by access technologies such as screen readers and force users with disabilities to hear, "DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT ..." If they are not artifacted. This is a painstaking process that requires InDesign users to learn PDF Remediation,…

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…
