Include Paragraph Styles in Table Styles
There needs to be a way of assigning paragraph styles to header rows and individual columns, not just cell styles/table styles. For example, I have a paragraph style for each of three columns in the table's header row, One for the Item Category, Regular Price heading, and Effective (sale) Price Heading. Then I have four paragraph styles for the rest of the table based on the column, one for item number, one for item description, then of course the style for regular price adn effective (sale) price. I should be able to include these paragraph styles in the table style,…

Better use linked excel files
There should be a way to link to an excel doc, remove unnecessary columns or rows, change the formatting and/or ad paragraph/character styles, so that if the excel doc is updated (with new pricing or different demographics or something) just the information that remains is updated. As of now, if the excel doc is updated, all the work in InDesign (aside from table style) is completely removed and you're forced to either start from scratch, or continue with out of date information.

Share for Review Editing Tools
When a stakeholder is commenting on a Share for Review document, it would be great if the editing tool they used most was either sticky or became the default. Our proofer posts around 300 comments on our magazine and when he's using Share for Review, he has to select the highlighter tool each time he makes a comment. Having it be the default (or allowing it to stick once it's chosen) would making proofing much more efficient.

Adjust minimum height and width when scaling text frames with autosize
When scaling a text frame that is set to autosize with a minimum height and width, everything gets scaled – except for the minimum height and width, leading to ridiculously looking assets when scaled to different sizes for one-time-exceptions.
Please make it so the minimum width and height is scaled just as the margins and everything else - it would make working with assets with automadet assets with irregular sizes so much easier. Thanks!

[InCopy] Open selected recent documents (open more than just one document)
Hello,
A new feature that allows the user to choose to open more than one InCopy document at once in the option 'File > Open Recent' would be very useful.I've posted this request last year (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/45136654-open-more-than-one-document-per-session-in-open), but nobody reached me.
It would be very useful to have this option in InCopy as I always work with chapters (usually 8) that are stored in different subfolders; that is, it is not possible to go to a single folder/directory, select the eight chapters that I will edit and open them whenever I need to edit these chapters (and I…

PDF export function with the selection of which metadata or whether general metadata of pictures should be exported.
Many companies and also designers are not aware that they share sensitive content on their websites via the metadata for expamle in pictures, if these were uploaded directly after the InDesign PDF Export.
Many PDFs created with InDesign that you can find online from large companies contain very accurate, detailed information such as mails/phone numbers/patient information/non-public addresses/etc (for example Metadatas from Images embedded wihtin the exported PDF). This is a privacy conflict and in some countries a violation of existing laws.
Photoshop/Lightroom/Premiere, for example, use a check box/features to control the metadata that is exported. In InDesign this feature is…

Could the order of fonts in the lists in Find/Replace font be adjusted?
In the Find section of the dialog the font styles are listed alphabetically. In the Replace section they are listed by their order in the menu (from thin to black or whatever).
Could this be the same in both sections?1 vote -
InDesign App for Ipad
We want an app version of InDesign for the iPad. It’s time.
Now that Ipad has the same M processor as computers and more and more people/colleagues who work on the move are choosing the Ipad solution. Possibly with the ability to access files directly from an external drive (usb-c is now standard on Ipad too) and not just through the cloud.
When we travel there is not always the possibility of having access to an internet network. Adobe competitors are giving alternative solutions to InDesign for Ipad. With what we pay for the subscription, I believe you have to…2 votes -
Add color to alpha option for linked images
I would like to be able to set the white background of a black and white UPC png to transparent. Using a clipping path does not work very well with UPCs as it either clips off some of the bars or leaves some white space around the numbers.
I don't see how it would be too difficult to define a color as transparent for a linked graphic to make it not necessary to edit the original graphic.

Add leading zeroes to single page image exports
When exporting pages to images (something we do quite a lot in comics), it helps with further batch processing to have a sufficient number of leading zeroes as part of the exported filename.
So instead of:
Page 1
Page 2
Page 99
Page 103Page 001
Page 002
Page 099
Page 103This can be a selectable feature in the user preferences or automatically generated to pad the number of leading zeroes to match the number of pages in the exported file (e.g. if there are only 93 pages in the book, only add leading zeroes to 1-9 so all…

Request of to Index "Index entry", "page reference" and "Yomi" CSV export Feature.（【要望】索引の「項目」「ページ番号」「読み」のCSV書き出し）
I hope to Index "Index entry", "page reference" and "Yomi" CSV export Feature.
Currently, the Japanese version does not sort as expected and the indexing function is difficult to use.
It would also reduce the difficulty of indexing in multi-person operations.索引の「項目」「ページ番号」「読み」をCSVで書き出せるようにして欲しい。
現状、日本語版はソートが期待通りいかず、索引機能が使いづらいものとなっている。
また、複数人の作業における索引作成の困難も軽減してくれると思われる。9 votes -
Color Pallet: add a Shade slider (percent of black mixed) for selected swatch (just like tint slider but with black)
In the color Pallet please add a Shade slider which adds a percentage of black to the selected swatch. It would act just like tint slider, which adds a percentage of white to the color swatch, except the Shade slide controller would add black.
This would also need a new type of Shade swatch perhaps.

Interactive PDF Previews
I would LOVE the ability to preview my interactive PDF without having to export it every time I make an edit to a fillable text box or radio button. Can we preview the interactive features in InDesign, and not just in Acrobat?

Export JPG with specific name and as a background task
Now that many users are using INDD to prepare web graphics INDD needs a feature to be able to name the page so when the pages are exported as JPGs or PNGs they are named properly.
I found a script to do this but it would be great to build this into the application. All that would be needed is a variable where we could add the name and INDD would look at that text frame to name the exported files.
This is important to do it this way so this can be a feature of data merge as well.…

Command Line
I think this feature would make all Adobe products so much faster, easier to use, and more efficient. Something where you could turn it off and on and type your command, or a custom alias, and immediately activate the tool or menu item you want. It could just be something you toggle in the Window menu and that could appear at the top of the screen under the upper toolbar.

Set Grid in double page documents new for every page
In double page documents, the grid overlaps the gutter, which sometimes makes it hard to use the grid on the right side, when the right side starts with half a grid box or 3/4 or whatever.
IT would be nice if you could choose between overlapping and starting the grid from zero at the page on the right side.
It would also be VERY helpful if you could turn the visibility of the grid off outside of the pages because all the lines make the view so "noisy".
AND it would be helpfull to be able to adjust the transparency…1 vote
