Footnote numbering options for EPUB export
When exporting a single story into EPUB (2 or 3), the footnotes are numbered from 1 to x over all xhtml files with no chance to control their numbering. The footnote numbering options from within InDesign (per page, per section, etc.) should be respected while exporting.
Alternatively there should be some appropriate options in the export panel.

I want a generic command to repeat the least command I executed. Like control-Y does in the much-hated MS Word....Saves time.
I want a generic command to repeat the least command I executed. Like control-Y does in the much-hated MS Word....Saves time.
I often wind up doing the same thing many times, like applying a char style or whatever. I want a keyboard shortcut to repeat whatever I did last.

Clear the pasteboard
I'd love a command that would delete all the extraneous stuff that ends up on the pasteboard. It would be especially helpful in packaging for print.

Option to merge from PDF page other than page 1
It would be great t have the option to use a pdf in a merge and be able to specify which page of the pdf is to be used, instead of it just being the first page all the time.
Instead of just specifying filename in the mergefield, could we specify page number as well?
eg something like:
c:\docs\mypdf.pdf:2
to use page 2 of a pdf.

YAML and JSON
I don't know if this should go into the scripting category.
But could you please extent InDesign's capability or range when it comes to import or process data files, using structured data and Data Merge etc.
From only accepting CSV files to also accept, JSON and YAML

Same color management in all adobe product
This will be a great feature for simplicity and collaborative work.
Actually, each program have a different system for choose color, and I'm sure you can improve that with give the same logical and features in all program.
Import photoshop palet in Indesign or Illustrator and vice versa...
Add the Color them Tool in photoshop and Illustrator...and maybe why not in After Effect and Premiere...
Sure you can do something great and identical in all your great products, even if you have not need CMJN/Pantone etc.. colors in video projects.35 votes -
Interactive buttons able to form shape of path
Currently interactive buttons are restrained to circular or rectangular bounding boxes. This needs to change so a path can be turned into the button.

Why is the InDesign Bug Fix not part of the program download?
Just downloaded the InDesign 2018 yesterday, but the bug fix is dated November 3.
9 votesI understand the confusion and apologise for the same. Before we could get out the issues in a release we posted the workaround plugins for any users who were blocked due to the bugs.
We have now send out an update to all InDesign users which has those bug fixes in them. Again sorry for the inconvenience.

Improve Incopy
Incopy, as it stands today, has lots of problems. We cant use it while working with remote editors. Similarly my clients dont wan to use InCopy as the user interface is too complex for them. Also, some clients can't download a desktop product because of restrictions in their organizations.
InCopy is a good product but doesnt fulfill the needs of today's world. Please improve it5 votes -
Separate text into different boxes in one stroke
We've all been handed a huge text file and asked to create a new document. From the sub par word processing program it came from, we begin the mind numbing process of cut/copy/paste.
You can cut headers, sub headers etc. and paste them into their own text box. But when you have to do it five hundred times, it's awful. And no, reflowable text is not the solution.
What if you could drag a selection around the text you needed to be separate and it would "snap" into it's all new, very own text frame? eh?
pretty please?

Allow incopy to access object states
It would be perfect if incopy could access and change all object states content. I do not understand why this is not possible today.

set individual pages as non-numbered in books
I use the book feature for many, if not most of the documents that I create. Each individual InDesign document included within the book is a new chapter. Because the majority of my clients request printed copies of the documents I create, I usually create customized tab pages that precede each chapter, so that the end user can easily find a specific section. These tabs are printed on card stock instead of the standard bond paper that is used for the content of the document.
The majority of my documents require page numbers, and so I use the feature where…

"Ignore Text Wrap" checkbox in Toolbar / Accessible in Quick Apply
A box in the Toolbar to check "Ignore text wrap" - for this box; And either/or make the command accessible in the quick apply list.
I find that I am doing this a lot to play around with designs to adapt - or not - to a image run-around. I don't want to have to find if there is a shortcut that might address this or a script.

Span Columns: Let us enter "1"
Currently, when we go to Span Columns and type "1" we get an error.
It would be so great to be able to type "1" and have InDesign realize that we are wanting to, in effect, switch the paragraph layout from Span Columns to Single Columns.

Support for Multicores Performance
The most of us have powerful mutlicore computers. I think for sure indesign coult have a huge performance boost with Multicore support.
Until now only powerful 3D programs or video software uses that power. I think in addition of GPU Support it would be a significant performance boost with multi core support.
For an Example: i got a i7 Quad Core Mac. While writing a big PDF, indesign just uses 1 core.

Using local alphabets in Numering Style Format (Paragraph Styles)
We have only two character formats "A, B, C, D ..." and "a, b, c, d ..." except digital. But many of us work with texts in languages with other alphabets, which are also used as indexes of lists. It would be nice to have formats of local alphabets depending on the language chosen for the paragraph. For example, if the Russian language is selected for the paragraph, then in the list of character formats, except the Latin alphabet, there will be a Russian "А, Б, В, Г..."
This property should not depend on whether the localized or English version…2 votes -
Do not recalculate values entered into fields in other units
When I enter a leading in mm, InDesign will always recalculate to pt. Please give us the possibility, that InDesign does not recalculate values entered in other units.
Or at least give us the possibility to change the field value into different units. Now I have to blindly try out or use my calculator if I see a leading of »12,756 Pt« – is it 4,5mm or 4,45mm or what?
