Automatic page shuffling on books (indb) should be opt-in
InDesign automatically changes numbering of files listed on a indb book.
That's handy but may easily lead to disasters and should be an opt-inSometimes I only create indb books when I'm near to finish a book. Each file is already numbered correctly and chapters begin on even pages.
If I'm adding files to my indb one by one and unknowingly skip one of them, InDesign automatically changes page numbering on my files. The problem is that InDesign will also shuffle pages and save files as soon as I add them to my indb.
On simple text books, that doesn't…

Allow to export pdf with comments for archival purposes
Once we are done with a project, we package all of our files and upload to our server. It would be nice to be able to export the reviewed documents as pdfs that include all of the comments made. Just for archival purposes in case we ever go back and wonder why certain changes were made.

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…

Add comments from InDesign to reviewer using Share for Review
It seems like owners of documents can only reply to existing comments made in the Share for Review document but can't create comments in InDesign that appear in the Share for Review document. Often, we have a question about text or images that the reviewer needs to answer, but we have to first Share for Review and then create the comment there. It would be great if we could convert InDesign Notes to comments for the reviewer that they can see in the Share for Review side panel.

Add a "Duplicate" file feature much like Photoshop has.
Would love to have a "duplicate file" feature much like Photoshop has so we can create a new version while keeping the existing document open in its current state.

Larger area when moving page/spreads or duplicating via alt drag
REQUEST
Make the area for "dropping" a page/spread larger and on above and below pages/spreads.ISSUE
The current area to "drop" a page/spread is small and inconsistent (see attached video). It also limited to the left or right of a page/spread, NOT above or below.GOAL
Move or duplicate a page to a specific location in the document, more efficiently.REASON
Duplicate page command sends the duplicate to the end of the document, which typically needs to be moved to another location in the document, thus highlighting the issue regardless of moving or duplicating via alt/option drag.STEPS

Add more than 1 color swatch at a time to CC Libraries
I'd like to add a group of color swatches in one quick instead of one by one. It would save me a lot of time!

Tool for sustainable Design
Hello dear Adobe team,
At the moment there is a lot of talk about environmental problems and sustainability. Responsible use is particularly important when it comes to the use of finite and regenerative resources.
The AGD has developed a charter for sustainability for this purpose. "Designers are largely responsible for
how our world is shaped. Design shapes, design is a role model and creates
new awareness. Design consumes resources - sometimes more,
sometimes less. The sustainable use of natural resources,
with the environment and with the people who have remained in this world for generations
should be able to live,…1 vote -
Allow InCopy to track which file is imported (either by filename, path link?)
I work in magazines, and we go through several Word file versions of a story before it gets placed into the layout (InDesign/InCopy workflow). There have been times when the story has been updated after the copy has been imported into the magazine, and it would be great to see which version is currently in the layout to ensure we're working with the most recent versions of the Word file. Just as you can see the linked images placed in InDesign, InCopy should be able to show the filename in which the copy was imported from!

Let Crop Mark offset reflect Bleed size by default
When exporting a .pdf, I find myself correcting that value over and over.
In most cases we want the cropmarks not to overlap the bleed, because that would make the bleed useless.e.g: I set Bleed to 3mm, but the Crop Mark offset stays 2,117mm
Please let InDesign copy the Bleed value to the Crop Mark Offset value automatically.

Migrate published links between accounts
It would be helpful to be able to transfer hosting of published InDesign links between licenses of the program - for instance, if someone moves from one institution's license to another and does not want their existing links to become inactive, or if somebody leaves a company and the work that they uploaded on their license needs to stay online. The main reason this would be helpful is to allow stability of the links, rather than having to re-upload and then make sure that all interested parties are given the new updated link.

Option to strip out overloaded Mac system fonts like NOTO in font menu
Later Mac OS's install 100's of fonts that cannot be removed. They clog up the Font menus badly. It makes font selection a nightmare. Noto is but one.

Forced line-breaks converts to a space in running header
Forced line breaks are converted to a space character when displayed as a running header.
This will often show up as multiple spaces in the running header.
Forced line breaks, should simply be removed.

Dynamic Page height
An option to allow page height to auto adjust with content.
This would be handy when linking one indesign document into another, such as a catalogue, each product and description etc would sit in the linked indesign file on separate pages, possibly data merged and then placed into working file. If the height of the linked pages where all auto adjusted to height of the content the pages could all be inserted with minimal effort and perfect spacing.

Copy CMYK, RGB values in Color Picker as text
I would like to be able to copy RGB or CMYK values as text so I can paste them elsewhere. This would be helpful in my daily work where I make color palettes and then describe them with text in a brand guide. See the attached screenshot where I am currently updating CMYK and RGB values by hand from the color picker.
