when using the GAP tool, allow to enter the space size.
When i have a collage of many images and I want to have all the spacing between the images the same exact amount, entering a desired size will be a huge help.

Allow to enter individual object size when multiple objects are selected
When multiple objects are selected InDesign shows the total width and height of the whole selection. I'd want to be able to enter the width and height of each individual box.

Anchored Objects should be able to be sent to back so text can print above the object
It would be nice if text could print above an anchored object
264 votesThank you all for the votes.
Can you help us understand the key problems that you face in the absence of ability to send an anchored image backwards?
What’s the current workaround that you have to follow?
What are the use cases wherein you need that the text appears specifically on top of inline anchored image?
This information will help us evaluate the functionality better.

Anchored Objects need be able to apply a text wrap when placed before their anchor point in text
For example, if the reference text for an image falls on the lower half of a right hand page, but the placement of the image works better at the top of that page—or even on the facing left hand page—the text wrap should be able to work before the object's anchor point in the text. Otherwise, when dealing with long documents, this feature is somewhat useless if you can only anchor some of your objects.

Import controls for Libraries
Provide an option to control how a Library item imports into InDesign. Since Libraries created from AI are treated as PDF, they place with the Bounding Box (Visible Layers) option if the user hadn't changed the PDF Import options. There is no way to control the import into Photoshop, as Photoshop doesn't remember the last PDF import option, unlike InDesign.

Adobe Story Scriptwriting formatting
Basically with the demise of Adobe story, then it would seem logical to me to make it's scripting format an option to use in incopy. Forget all the management integration, just the pure scriptwiriting formatting, maybe even as workspace set up.

Fill with Placeholder Text dynamically changes when resizing box
When a box has been filled with Placeholder Text and is then resized, it would be really useful if the text still fills the box.
So if you make the box larger, more text would be added to still fill the box. If you make the box smaller, text would be removed so the box is still filled but not overset.

Major problem with image links
When I click on an image, the link in the links-window does not show. Note: there's nothing embedded. I'm encountering this all the time and it's very very time-consuming. How can this major problem exist in a software where placing images is really what you do with it all day layouting?
I really wonder what we pay the monthly fees for when even the most basic stuff is far from working properly.
Why is Indesign CC detoriating compared to CS6, though we pay more money?
What are the Updates and the cloud really for?Why this is valuable to us…

column lines
Auto column lines for text boxes.
Lines between columns, with varying widths, colours, styles (single, double etc, dots/dashes etc). Same options available for the outer box key line.. All can be individually adjusted, switched off etc.
And different colours for column backgrounds, with offsets. Like alternating fills work in tables, but in normal text boxes. Allow unique colours for each column fillplus transparency/mode options.

Use Mobile Device to Show Palettes
I posted this in the wrong place (XD). Sorry if I seem to be putting this on blast.
I've been hoping for this for a long time, and I hope others agree.A feature that would increase my workflow in a major way is this:
Is there a way you could create the ability to use a mobile device to display actionable palettes?
I use a two display setup on my desktop. When I travel I have to use my laptop which means I can't have very many palettes available without using up my project workspace on screen.
What if…

Export a specific color separation directly to PDF without having to print to file first.
Let's say you have a file that's CMYK plus one spot color (let's say Pantone 123). You want to create a PDF file for print that is only the separation of the Pantone 123 spot color. What I have to do now is create the color separation first by printing to file, then distill the resulting .ps file.
Can there be a way to directly export the color separation by using Export to Print PDF?
Maybe there is a way to do this already, but I have not been able to find any info online on how to do this.…

Have option to display non-printing objects
Having an option to display non-printing objects can be very useful if you want to have notes or other visual markers in your document that you do not wish to be printed.
Right now when you choose an object to be non-printing, it becomes invisible. If you would have a checkbox that would toggle its visibility that would be great.

crash indesign IDML
Hello,
we have a problem on mac when exporting from the network to an IDML file
The Mac is under macOS 10.12.6
There is always a crash of Indesign V13.1 during the backup on the network (smb) in IDML format
Versions 13.01 and 13.1 have been tried
With version 13.01, an adobe patch intended to fix the problem has been applied (https://helpx.adobe.com/en/indesign/kb/crash-save-as-nas-server.html?origref=https%3A% 2F% 2Fwww.google.com% 2F) without giving results
Version 13.1 officially fixes the crash problem during an IDML backup (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/release-note/indesign-cc-march-2018-13-1-release-notes.html ? origref = https% 3A% 2F% 2F% 2Fwww.google.fr)Clear indesign preferences (user or global) do not solve the…

Could we have a 'go to colour' link within Indesign like you do for image links please
It would be really helpful when editing colours within an document to be able to see where a colour has been used before deleting it. I know you can always replace it then convert back but it would be helpful to see where it was being used beforehand.

Allow movie objects to be placed behind other layers
I am working on a huge airport project at an architecture firm, and we want to be able to respond to requests for information with animation files, however, we cannot maintain our standard format because the movie files, when placed in an indesign file and exported to an interactive PDF, shift to the front layer and obscure all the written information we wish to include along with the file. I am considering using AfterEffects to create an entire animation with text overlayed, but the ease of use of InDesign would be sorely missed.

Radial text box
I’d like to have my text radiate from the outside or inside of round text boxes. Like the spokes of a bicycle.
