PDF comments - Option to remove all resolved comments at once
Option to remove all resolved comments at once. An option to remove all resolved comments in the comment window would be very interesting, because indesign has a performance issue with too much comment.

Disable support for authoring with Type 1 fonts
I would like to request a solution to the problem with disable support for authoring with Type 1 fonts in January 2023 - https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/kb/postscript-type-1-fonts-end-of-support.html
Our problem is that the company has thousands of indd documents that will reflect the change. All documents use the two complete font families and a few other fonts, but unfortunately even uploading new paragraph and text styles does not solve the persistent problem with some missing fonts.
What would we need?A tool to preset that, for example, the missing font Frutiger CE 65 Bold will always and in every document be automatically replaced by Frutiger…3 votes -
Scoping of publish online feature
As an admin in a sensible industry, we want to provide our communication/marketing area the possiblity to PublishOnline with Indesign, but NOT to the rest of the users
As of today, and confirmed by Adobe support, this cannot be achieved, we cannot scope nor tweak or limit this feature to a specific set of users

InDesign for iPad/Mac cross-compatibility
The iPad Pro has the M1 chip now. Why not have InDesign for iPad? Now that iPads have the same hardware as Macs there's no reason not to have one app that works on both.

Update links in the background
Links should be updated in the background. It is always annoying when you have to wait for an image to load (possibly off a server) and you have to wait for it. Maybe the frame to update should just be locked until updated but not the whole document.

Show grid in front of some layers but not all
Add a setting to somehow designate a point within the layer stack where the baseline grid would appear. The desire is to have the grid visible in front of a background layer but behind everything above that. Perhaps in Preferences->Grids where there is currently a "Grids in Back" checkbox, there could be an additional checkbox of "Except lowest layer" or "Except lowest __ layers" or something. Alternatively, the setting could be in Layer Options, something like "Show Grids in front of this layer". You get the idea.

table of contents
It would be great if there were a way to group pages with the same header, or automatically have a header include all page numbers between the page the header appears and the next header appears.
For example, the publication I'm building has a few top-level categories, like Pens, Pencils, Pastels, etc… and then sub-categories of name brands within those main category sections, like Bic, Sharpie, Prisma, etc…
Given that I'm already using the "alphabetical order" feature to make the ToC sort of like an Index as well, I'd like to be able to automatically include the pages in the…

SVG Import/Export with device-cmyk()
Please respect
device-cmyk()beside its RGB/hex color value for CMYK output in SVG file import and – if it will hopefully be implemented soon – in SVG file export of InDesign, e.g.
<circle fill="#CD853F device-cmyk(0.11, 0.48, 0.83, 0.00)" />5 votes -
variable images
It would be great if we could utilize the concepts of Data Merge and Conditional Text, maybe even along with Master Pages. For example, I have a long document 6 chapters that have four main sections each, but within each section there are 2 additional layouts that I need to apply. With all of the variations of the content if I were to make master pages for all of them I would end up with 80+ and that won't be functional

Combining Text Variable and custom Script (Calling a script to compute text variable instances)
Text variables sometimes require more complex processing of conditions, and the list of variables that we have now, with rare exceptions, is more like "text constants".
It would be nice to have a new type of text variable, the instances of which are calculated using a custom script, with each inserted instance having to be calculated separately, depending on where it was inserted.2 votes -

InDesign Share for Review
Would like to have the ability to notify (email) members/people whenever a link has been updated. Currently, without notifications sent, we can go hours before a client looks at revisions because they didn't realize the change was made.

Ability to anchor graphics across spreads
Because with accessibility it is important to anchor graphics, sometimes when the graphic reference is on the previous spread or the next spread, it is necessary to anchor to another spread when the graphic doesn't fit. When you do this, indesign will automatically move the graphic to another page. You should have the ability to anchor something across spreads.

In the PDF comment window, a button to delete all resolved comments
In the PDF comment window, a button to delete all resolved comments would be useful, keeping comments that have not yet been resolved.
When it gets too much comment the computer is very slow. And the tool for importing comments is very useful in my case.
Unfortunately, publishers here in Brazil make many amendments to the diagrammed files.

Content to Frame with Live Typography
If there is a fit to frame to content tool. We should get a fit content to frame tool that works with live typography.
I am not sure if this is a feature or not. I am also about to get more into creative coding so I would really appreciate it if you could get back to me with an explanation as to how you automate a feature like that with code.
Thanks for reading this.

Add to the Object - Arrange menu, add a Behind Object command so that it allows you to place an object behind another instead of just Move A
Add a Behind Object to the Arrange menu that allows you to move a single item behind another object on the screen without using Back or Front Arrangement only.

QR code for EPC/Sepa cannot be generated in indesign
I do not understand why, but plain text qr codes for EPC/Sepa are not correct when generated in indesign. They cannot be scanned from the bank apps.

Enable black only trim and bleed marks for digital print export.
Enabling black only trim and bleed marks will reduce the need for third party software. Digital presses print process marks in full color on black and white pages. These have to be removed so that the client does not pay color rates for black and white pages in a book.
