Check Icon Effects Rapid ON/OFF
I find this very frustrating every time.
I would like to be able to activate/deactivate an effect by clicking on the check icon.- clicking on the check activates and deactivates the effect (on/off)
- clicking on the name of the effect on the right should open the corresponding panel (as it already works now)
Often to deactivate an effect I have to enter the panel to deactivate the check, this would be fine when I have to set the parameters but if I simply have to deactivate the effect I have to open a second panel that could be avoided.

Add cell style setting fort column width and row height
We periodically update our older catalogs with newer styles and much of the content is to provide dimensions for parts. Most of the time they have not had a style applied to them. This would be the same as the option already provided when a cell is selected. Being able to select a group of cells and applying a style with column and row height would be helpful.
Its actually the only item that isn't included from the cell options every other option is already available.

Add Haitian Creole as an option in the list of languages when creating 508 compliant PDFs. Our business markets to that community.
Our company markets to South Florida communities that speak Haitian Creole. Having that language as an option when creating 508-compliant PDFs would be extremely beneficial.

Free time
I’ve been interested in online gaming for a while, so I decided to try out some online casinos. I was looking for one that offered good bonuses and wasn’t too complicated to start with. That’s when I came across https://luckyowl.biz/. The site looked simple and easy to use, plus they had great bonus deals like free spins and deposit matches for new players. The promotions kept coming even after I signed up, which was nice because it didn’t feel like a one-time thing. It’s a fun site that’s easy to use and rewarding.

New Project Window, please sync with Main Window
I create a New Window for the project I'm working on, and place it on a second monitor. I do this to see the presentation mode while I edit. But when I move to new pages/spreads on the Main Window, this is not reflected in the New Window. That's not a big problem if I've moved one or two spreads. But if I have moved by a hundred pages on the Main Window, it takes a long time to move the New Window these 100 pages too.
It would be a really nice feature if InDesign had a Presentation Mode…

PDF Password Print (BUG and New Feature)
As suggested by @Abhishek Rao on Adobe community
I report here the problem and the new functionality...PDF Password (BUG and New Feature)
When I export a document to PDF from Indesign (or illustrator), I would need to password protect the Copy/Modification of the elements in my PDF, at the same time allow READING and PRINTING of that PDF document.
All this is currently ALLOWED BY "INDESIGN"! in PDF export.
When I create a PDF with these limitations, I open it in ACROBAT and I can SEE and PRINT IT.
When I try to MODIFY IT, Acrobat asks me for…1 vote -
Add Options to remove bleeds and cropmarks while Import PDF comments
Sometimes I get PDF files with corrections to be applied to the next printing addition.
Usually publishers apply such corrections to the production PDF, with format cropmarks .
InDesign can import the PDF without bleeds and crop marks (as you turn on the import options), But.... unfortunately PDF Comments, there is no such option that you can opt out of crop marks and bleeds, etc.1 vote -

Add option to open current working folder when using "relink" option
Hello,
can we please have an option to open/search in current working folder (where the .indd is saved) when using relink function, rather than opening previously used links folder.
make it a toggle option for users that prefer its current state

By clicking in a file that does not exists anymore, it vanishes from recent items.
It would be perfect if the Indesign home interface behaved like Photoshop's: by clicking on a file that does not exist anymore, it just vanishes from recent items, helping to keep less cluttered.

Examine an Existing PDF and Use Its Exporting Settings
Add the ability for Indesign (and other PDF-creating CSS apps) to read the settings used to create an existing PDF.
I understand that this would require new PDF format feature: the ability to store the PDF creation settings in a PDF file directly. (I've added that suggestion as "Include PDF Export Settings in PDF Files" under the Acrobat feature request section.)
The goal is for a user to be able to easily export a new PDF with the same export settings as those of an existing PDF—something which is currently frustratingly difficult to do.

Can InDesign assign attributes automatically in the XML while exporting it for translation purposes to identify new and translated content.
InDesign shoudl assign unique attributes automatically in the XML while exporting it for translation purposes to diffentiate the new and already translated content in the file.
When there is an update to an already translated file, and when we need to extract and resend the XML file which contains both the new content and the already translated content, the XML should contain unique attributes for the body content or must atleast have an option to tag the translated content with one specific attribute and the new content with a different one so that the translation team can identify the differences…

Dark Theme: more contrast for sliders
For the darkest InDesign theme (which I love and use all the time) increase the contrast between the slider and the slider tray. I always have a hard time finding the slider. This is not so much a problem on the monitor in my office, but traveling with a laptop in different lighting conditions it's sometimes impossible to find the slider.

Indesign export to AI, PSD

Restore several links to a Library
Create a function to update the links in the Libraries in the same way as for a local folder.
I had to move my libraries to a new Cloud following a change of plan. All the links no longer work. Even if I give the path to a link, INDD isn't able to restore the other links in the same library as it can in a local folder. I have thousands of links to restore manually!1 vote -
Allow Text to Image to create non-standard image sizes, regardless of aspect ratio (i.e. make “frame dimensions” actually work for any size)
Being able to use Text to Image to actually create a graphic that honors the “frame size” option would be a game changer. Often when laying out copy I have incidental space left over that would be perfect for a graphic, but does not conform to standard aspect ratios. Especially for long, thin areas such as header or footer images, cropping produces an “unreadable” image, and no amount of fiddling will change that.

Paste where you click
When you copy an element and paste it with the shortcut Cmd+V, the paste is randomized.
Would it be possible for this Cmd+V function to take into account the location of the last click on the work plan with the selection tool?
For example, I want to place an existing circle that I want to copy to several locations. I could click exactly where I want to place it, do a Cmd+V, and it would be placed exactly where I clicked.
This saves having to place it every time, especially if I have 20, 30 or even more circles to…1 vote
