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 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!

Please add Georgian Language Dictionary to Indesign.
There are many ardent Indesign users from Georgia and as yet there is no official Indesign dictionary. Peolpe manually creates extension files for the dictionary, writes them and also adds the Info.plist file to make it work somehow. I've done it on Windows too and it works, but it kind of doesn't work for Big Sur on mac and Indesign version 16. It will be best if you help design the Georgian language as well. If you'd like, I can send you some ready-made dictionary and spelling files for the Georgian language that I created myself for you to check…

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!

Restart footnote numbering flexibility
Currently, regardless of whether the "Restart Numbering Every: ...." checkbox does nothing to force footnotes to continue across multiple, unthreaded frames. I would have thought that if you didn't tell it to restart, it would not and would continue to increment each time if found a footnote - but that is not the case. We have various footnote scenarios based on our different clients:
For some, they want the footnotes numbered consecutively throughout their report. Others want it restarted with every major section. But these reports are complicated - hundreds of pages - and it is very inconvenient to thread…

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.

Alt-text inside Links Panel
Can we have a column added to the Links Panel that lists the alt-text of the image so I can open/edit it from the links panel rather than finding it inside my document?

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.

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.

Embed IDML data into INDD files for permanent single-file offline backwards compatibility
Just embed IDML data into every INDD, at least optionally. A separate IDML file requires having foreseen the need for backwards compatibility, making sure it is up to date each time the INDD is changed, or resorting to server-side conversion, all of which are a nuisance and unnecessary.
An IDML’s file size is usually anemic when compared to its INDD counterpart, so that is a non-issue.
Even Photoshop asks you whether you want PSD files to be backwards compatible.

Include InCopy editorial notes in grouped/anchored objects in PDF comments
Currently if you add a note to an anchored or grouped object these do not appear as comments in exported PDFs from InCopy. This leads to artworkers possibly missing important change requests from InCopy users. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a technical limitation but it is not stated anywhere in the documentation for InCopy. User expectation is that all notes will be included as comments in exported PDFs.

CC Library - PARENT SLIDES
Being able to drag and drop parent slides from CC would save me considerable time going back and forth when a look has been altered in e.g. company templates.

Export Seperation PDFs
I want to be able to export seperation pdfs so I can make plates with crop marks directly from my working file. Currently it can only be done through post script files and it is barely functional to say the least.
