Rectangle frames that link to each other so images reflow when one is added or removed like text does in text boxes.
Please make rectangle frames able to be linked so images flow from one frame to the next like can be done with type boxes and text. I work on a 450 page catalog and sometimes there are images that get removed and currently we have to shift all of the images by hand. If the rectangle frames were linked we could delete an image and have the remaining images reflow automatically.

Page blanche automatique dans un roman
Dans une mise en page d'un roman qui ne vient donc pas dans une fonction LIVRE, pas assez de pages pour cela. Il faudrait pouvoir configurer à l'intérieur d'un seul document que les pages où il n'y a pas d'objets, que les informations du gabarit n'apparaissent pas. Il faut toujours contrôler manuellement la mise en page pour changer le gabarit ou mettre un bloc blanc pour masquer. Ca serait pour faire comme la fonction d'ajout d'un page blanc dans la fonction livre, mais seulement en cachant automatiquement les éléments et que si une phrase est rajouté et se retrouve sur…

Notes de bas de page qui suivent dans un LIVRE
Créer la possibilité de faire suivre les numéros de note de bas de page d'un chapitre à l'autre qui sont regroupés dans un LIVRE, comme c'est le cas pour les numérotations de figuresç par exemple. Et également pouvoir faire suivre si la note est dans un bloc séparé, sans que les numéros recommence à chaque fois à 1. Pour les chapitres on peut le faire manuellement, pour les blocs différents à l'intérieur d'un chapitre c'est impossible à contourner le problème manuellement.

Copy-Paste takes very long
Kopieren und Einfügen von Elementen innerhalb eines Indesign-Dokuments oder zwischen Indesign-Dokument dauert sehr lange. Egal ob es große oder winzige Bilder, große PDFs oder einfach mehrere Textrahmen und Flächen sind: es gibt immer einen Lade-Ball. Dieses Problem besteht schön länger und ist mit einer früheren Indesign-Version aufgetaucht und seitdem immer so. Vor 10 Jahren war ich mit solchen einfachen Copy-Paste Aktionen deutlich schneller.

Add a Reference Point option when changing Document Setup
When changing document dimensions in File → Document Setup, there is no option to choose a Reference Point. This feature is very much needed — it would make resizing documents much more precise and efficient.
I truly don’t understand why this option still isn’t available. It’s an essential tool for accurate layout adjustments.

Place Gun Enhancement
We use InDesign in our printing department to place images for printing on our Epson Printers.
At the moment we have page templates with Auto-Fit frames placed and ready to accept the various sizes of supplied images (clients always manage to supply images to the wrong dimensions).Here's what we do :
1. Call up a template.
2. CMD-D to load the Place Gun with multiple files (anything from 2 to 50 - sometimes more).
3. Click in each frame to place the loaded images.Here's where I believe the procedure could be enhanced - in fact it's the only…

Dynamic text for Indesign please…..
It would save so much time — while Dynamic Text isn’t perfect in Photoshop Beta, it’s still great. Since InDesign is such a typographic powerhouse, though, it would make even more sense there — far more control, styles, and layout flexibility.

Alternate layout - Improve
I struggling with this function, i want easy options for me that makes severeal sizes to dirrerent devices of the same design.
I want the option to only make an alternative layout on one choosen page, not auto make it to all my pages.
Also, the autoscale and object adjustment is'nt good at all. If you try this function in canva, it will take me some seconds and i only need to adjust it a little bit, in Indesign, its a struggle. Ans i want to use indesign, but its tome consuming.1 vote -
Adobe Express templates - opens in Indesign
Indesign recently come with a new feature thats allow you to se and open Adobe Express Templates from the startpage in Indesign. BUT, i would love to open them in Indesign, not Adobe Express.
Exacltly like you do in Adobe Express or Canva, but keep it in Indesign. Its perfect if you need some inspiration, or if you use the programs but you have to make something fast and not from scratch.1 vote -
Make "align stroke to outside" actually align the stroke to the outside, like it used to.
When you set a bounding box to align the stroke to the outside, it used to mean that...the stroke was aligned to the outside of the bounding box. I thought that was the whole point of that setting. Now the bounding box is outside of the stroke no matter what you set it to. I can't imagine any possible reason for this. Now if I want to position any element properly, I have to remove the stroke temporarily. Please change it back?

Arched Text similar to Illustrators Envelope.
I would love to see your team make an envelope “arching text” type of option similar to how Illustrator does it, especially if it could maintain its text editing capabilities. This would be very helpful because there are times when I am doing a Banner or Plaque or some other type of layout and the client requests arched text for the individuals names, and this can sometimes number in the range of 50-75 names. And having the arched text feature would allow me to create a master page for the general design template, and link the text boxes so the…

見開きドキュメントのノド側に塗りたしを追加したい
PUR製本など見開きの良い製本を行う場合、ミーリングとしてノド側にも塗りたしを作成する必要があります。そうしないと見開きで絵柄が繋がっている場合は良いのですが、センターで絵柄が切り替わる場合に、印刷用に面付を行った時に、ミーリング部分に対抗ページのノド部分が出てきてしまい段差になってしまいます。現状そのままでは塗りたしを追加することが出来ないので、ドキュメントページの移動を許可のチェックを外し、ページパレットで見開きページを片方ずつ交互にずらしたのち、それぞれのページに塗りたしを追加しています。ただこれを行うと見開きとしてのレイアウトプレビューが出来ない、スプレッドでPDF書き出しが出来ないなどの不都合が起こります。なので必要に応じてノドのミーリング部分のアキをオンオフ出来るような機能があるととてもありがたいです。

Add access to photo albums in InDesign
I am working on an art book which entails inserting many photos. Because my photo library includes many different types of photos, the art photos have been segregated into an album. Unfortunately I cannot access that album directly, which means I will have to move all of those images into another folder outside of photos in order to insert them with Place. Please add album access to InDesign. I have given ID full disk access but that does not make any difference.

Apply effects to layers. Please.
I would like the ability to apply effects to layers. For instance, I would like “Layer A” to multiply over “Layer B”. What I don't want is all the elements on “Layer A” that are pink and green in the attached reference image to multiply over one another.

Scroll through placed multi-page PDFs or InDesign documents within InDesign
Essentially, make the Show Import Options Preview panel directly accessible inside InDesign.
This would save me a considerable amount of time.

vertical text wrap
Currently, if you have text center aligned (horizontally) when wrapping, the text stays centered between the end of the next box and the wrapping object. This should happen in the vertical as well, but currently doesn't.
If there is text above a wrapping object, and the text is vertically center aligned, the text will either not move (if the wrapping object is lower than the text would end) or it will stay flush with the wrap.
In my case, the fact the vertical doesn't work the same way as the horizontal makes it extremely difficult to design with a single…

Convert Page Guides to Spread Guides
I would like to suggest a small but highly useful improvement for a future update of InDesign.
Currently, when guides are placed within a single page, there is no built-in way to convert them into spread guides (guides that span across the entire spread), unless they are re-created manually while holding Ctrl/Cmd during placement. This becomes especially frustrating when a layout contains a large number of precisely positioned guides that need to be extended to the full spread — for example, after a reorganization of pages or when switching from single-page to spread layout.

An options to place InDesign files into a document as spreads
Scenario: I have a a load of menus, A3 double sided folded in half, designed in two double page spreads. Client wants wide format prints of each menu ganged up on one sheet.
It would save quite some time if I could place the menu files into another document as spreads rather single pages.
