generar planillo desde la ventana páginas
Sería interesante para el ámbito editorial poder imprimir un planillo a partir del diseño que tenemos en nuestra ventana de páginas, o generar uno interactivo como lo que ha diseñado René Andritsch:

epub
For the love of god, please improve EPUB export to ensure that the exported file actually lives up to market standards and can validate EpubCheck and ACE without problems or extra reworking. As is, the current exported EPUB files risk failing checks before distribution and, as a result, cannot be sold on the European market after the accessibility directive takes effect. This will be a huge problem for many graphic designers who cater to this market.

Dictionaries and Japanese, Chinese, Cyrillic scripts Hide
I would welcome the ability to hide all unused dictionaries in Indesign. Also, it would be nice to be able to hide Japanese, Chinese and Cyrillic in the font menu. It's just insane scrolling sometimes and not UX like at all.

Set the baseline of the first line of an object to the actual height of the first line of text
There is no standard in fonts what to use for the value of ascend. Some use the height of, say, the 'k' character. Others enter the highest glyph (including those with diacritics). Basically, that means that using ascend for the first baseline is unreliable if fonts change. The best solution would be to calculate the actual 'max glyph height' of what is actually on the first line so that the text fits exactly to the top of the frame. Using 'cap height' is not a prefect solution too as some fonts have a cap height that is smaller than e.g.…

Warn before converting document
When opening an indesign document created in older version, on a newer indesign version, the newer version MUST post a warning dialogue box before converting the document.
BECAUSE if a designer works for two different client, where a client wants indesign version X, why the other client wants indesign version Y, then the designser should not by mistake convert the older version into a newer version, and not discovering this mistake only after its too late.

I'd love to be able to use a modifier with the Rotate Tool and rotate multiple selected items around their individual anchor points.

Scale stroke proportionaly in object-based rule il liquid layout
The stroke doesn't scale when changing page size either manually or with the page tool in object-based rule in the liquid layout. It does work in scale rule. It would be great if there was an option to choose between scaling the stroke or not.

Add extra options to the "Add Bullets" panel, like search, resize, favourite, etc.
The "Add Bullets" panel is tiny and super limited. It should be possible to resize, search and even favourite your preferred glyphs to make the process much more efficient.

Toggle off onscreen visibility of Endnotes markers
Endnotes imported from Word are marked in InDesign by blue L-shaped brackets at the beginning and end of each note. Why can't the onscreen visibility of these characters be toggled off with Type > Hide Hidden Characters.
The blue brackets are enormously annoying when making onscreen assessments of full-page typography issues.
(Yes, I realize that the brackets cannot be removed and do not print, but I would like to have option of making them invisible onscreen.)1 vote -

Path to images in linked InDesign documents not adjusted when packaged
I have packaged an InDesign document with linked InDesign documents for the printer. The images inside the packaged InDesign files have the wrong path, it has not been adjusted to the packaged images.
Our printer has printed the product therefor without the linked images which is a desaster. Please fix linked image paths within linked InDesign documents.

Make PNG/JPG Exports Background Tasks
As the topic says... having the export of PNG/JPG files as a background task would be extremely helpful for those of us working in comics and doing high volumes of rendering work.
Likewise, making this a multithreaded/parallel process for speed and efficiency would also be highly appreciated.

Enlarge maximum image export sizes
I work for a company which uses InDesign for webtoon-style comic content. These are often extremely long vertical images (10000-20000px is common). When attempting to export to JPG/PNG for processing, InDesign will not process the larger files, claiming that they exceed the maximum size, even at resolutions as low as 200dpi (webtoons typically go online at 350dpi so these images need to be upscaled).
Exporting to PDF and re-exporting to the relevant image format allows the images to export at size, but often with additional scaling and does not 1:1 match the original pixel size.
This clearly isn't a limit…

Favourite font groups
I'd like to be able to save some of my commonly used fonts into groups or themes of my choosing, such as calligraphic, infographic, corporate, Christmas etc.
I realise InDesign (and other Adobe apps) already offer favourites and filters but the favourites list can get rather long and the filters don't always capture the fonts I'm actually trying to find, especially with non Adobe fonts. For example, I have a font called 'Beauty Night Script' installed and it doesn't show up in either the script, handwritten or decorative font filters.
I think this feature could be quite useful for people…

Page Layout Management in Bridge for InDesign Files
It would be extremely beneficial to have a feature in Bridge that can interact with InDesign files, allowing for the visualization of individual pages directly within the Bridge interface. Furthermore, the ability to compose an overall layout for a magazine or book from separate pages in Bridge, or another similar software, would significantly improve the workflow for many users.
This feature could save us countless hours, improve collaboration between teams, and potentially revolutionize the way we create composite pieces.
I look forward to hearing from you on this suggestion.

Duplicate Spread n times
In some occasions, I use InDesign to collect Photoshop or Illustrator artwork.
In that case, I create a page with a Rectangle Frame, Auto-Fit checked.
When I need e.g. 20 of these, I have to duplicate many times 1-2-4-8-16 etc.
Why not add a number to the duplicate function?2 votes -
Download HTML master from Publish Online
It would be nice to have the possibility to give sort of a HTML "master" with all the animations, buttons, interativities, etc. as can be seen in the uploaded document. That way, this master could be storaged where the client wants: own server, own PC, historical arquive in their web or wherever they would like.
Also, it makes it easier in case the designer/agency using Publish Online breaks parts with the client, breaks parts with Adobe, ends activity for good or any similar situation. And I'm pretty sure it would also be cool for Adobe to not have all that…2 votes -
Share for Review Strikethrough Comments Become Unmapped when Text is Deleted
My editor often uses the Strikethrough text tool in Share for Review. When I delete the specified text, the corresponding Strikethrough comment becomes unmapped. This is a problem in large documents because it is difficult to remember what part of the document the now unmapped comment referred to. My editor needs to be able to confirm that her requested edits were resolved.
