QR error correction level
It would be nice to have more control over the QR code generator. To be more specific: add the option to choose de Error Correction Level of the code.
That way we can make small codes smaller, (especially in combination with a url-shortner) or normal codes slightly bigger to have enough error correction to have a gap in the middle (for a logo).[X] Automatic

Because that's what the user is used to from other apps.

Let InDesign pick RGB colors from RGB images in RGB Blend Space
InDesign will be used for onscreen documents ore and more.
Please facilitate that in the eyedropper.Maybe an easy switch to make a document RGB or CMYK would help (like in Ai).

Exclude Parameters from Paragraph Styles
A bit CSS-like.
E.g. exclude Character Color from a Paragraph Style, to allow changing all but color by editing the style.
Comes in handy when text is colored manually per story, but the typeface has to be changed for all stories.2 votes -

Align points
It would be really helpful if it was possible to align points in InDesign. I use guides to align points, but it's not quite as accurate as I want it to be. Thanks!

Frame fitting option auto-fit image to a percentage
It would be helpful when using an Object Style that uses the frame-fitting option to include a percentage value, so for instance "place image proportionally at 100%"

Pdf-files export to Indesign
I am missing the following function in Indesign: You have, as an example, 100 pdf files, format A4, and you want to print them 2 on an A3 sheet, but in such a way that the pdfs number 1 to 50 are shown on the left in the file/paper, and on on the right the pdf's of nr 51-100. If you then cut the A3 in the middle, you have two piles with all the PDFs in order of number.

Data merge
Recently I started using InDesign to make user manuals, but I wanted to make it easier to adapt it to the multiple products. I would like you to add an option where I can use multiple categorie variations on the same page underneath each other for the multiple languages that I need to include in the manual.
Thanks in advance!

Data Merge for spreads
it should be possible to export Data Merge directly to PDF as spread. So you don't have to create an InDesign-File first or edit your InDesign-File to generate an single page file.

Adjust text in frame to the right
Text tool. If you have too much text for a text frame with a small amount of text (e.g. 1-10 words), the text frame should enlarge to the right instead of downwards by using the keyboard command cmd+alt+c.
It would improve the workflow significantly, since you don't always have to drag the text box "right" again afterwards.2 votes -
Text Frame Auto-Size in story mode (linked frames)
Dear Indesign Development Team,
Please fix the Auto-Size Text Frame feature in InDesign. When running a story through multiple text frames the Auto-Size feature does not work. The feature should recognize the Frame Break or Column Break symbol as the end of the text in a frame and Auto-Size the frame accordingly. Please! I am tired of hacking my way through features to get the result I want while I feel it should be real simple.
Comment and vote if you agree.

Indesign Thumbnails for Windows Explorer
Hi Adobe!
I recently switched from CorelDRAW to Adobe, and the "No Thumbnails for explorer" drives me nuts.
Adobe seems to be trying to force us to use Bridge instead of Windows Explorer, but I'm not interested in using BR, I want to see my files directly in Explorer.
Please fix this issue!
See my post here:

Book Sections
It should be possible to define a section in a book that spans multiple documents. At the moment, I have to redefine a section at the start of each document.
There's no easy way to create a book of essays, grouped into sections and rearrange the essays and sections at will, renaming as I go, without huge time investments.

Book Styles
The book system needs a major overhaul. I should be able to update a style in one document and have it apply across the whole book immediately and quickly.
Right now, I have to through the painful synchronization process. Often that key source document that defines styles is not the best place to make edits to styles that only appear in another part of the book.
Also, if I rename a style, it doesn't propagate that style name change to through book, but rather adds a new style everywhere, making it a huge mess.
I waste so much time with…

Make EXPORT and print dialogues more correct
The “spreads” function when combined with bleeds or trims options should warn to the effect that “Printers rarely accept spreads are you sure?”
While we are at it, the standard pressready setting should include bleeds.
Sick of sending back files advising that spreads is not a "print ready" and explaining what bleed is and how include bleed on pdf.

Adobe's out-of-date "Check Spelling" system
For long documents, every copy-conscious designer uses InDesign's "Check Spelling" feature. I think we can all agree it can be improved; the functionality and interface have changed very little since InDesign's inception.
We need an "Ignore Capitalization" button/feature:
InDesign users spend most of their spell-check time clicking the "Skip" or "Ignore All" buttons: skipping capitalization issues (where there are forced line breaks or lead-in lines styled in all caps, making the uncapped offender a benign issue), skipping proper names, skipping the plural and possessive versions of words we've already confirmed as legitimate. Why aren't there buttons for "Ignore Capitalization" and…
