PDF Export improvement
Great news that it is now possible to export multi page file as separate PDFs. However that automatically created (not optional) subfolder is unnecessary.

Data Merge > Create Tagged PDF checkbox
On Data Marge > Export to PDF just let us select the "Create Tagged PDF".
For example, I have 1300 records, an 8 page document template and have to export 1300x 8pp uniquely named PDF files - files names from data.
Currently have to:
1. run the merge in groups of 100 records otherwise InDesign will hang
2. create tagged PDFs from the 13x 800pp InDesign files (50 minutes per 100)
3. combine PDFs
4. create bookmarks from content
5. split by bookmark structurePoints 1, 2 and 3 could be combined by simply allowing "Create Tagged PDF" and save…

Book
I use indb files extensively. It opens short, large display and in middle of field. I make small panels, pull it below bottom file and move it. Why can’t we control its display like other panels ?

InCopy needs to have 125% and 175% scaling support.
InCopy is my favorite word processor and works perfectly with InDesign. The one issue is not working properly on 2880x1440 displays and its is due to the lack of scaling options.

Repeat header and footer options wanted as part of table styles
The "repeat header" and "repeat footer" settings can not be set on a table style.
I'd like to be able to adjust the way table headers and footers repeats from within a table style (including a new "no repeat" option).5 votes -
shadow
Adjusting the shadow size so that the shadow can be smaller than the actual object. (As it is possible with CSS box-shadow, for example)

Tagged form fields failed Accessibility checker options
Form fields tags aren't exporting properly for tagged pdfs in the newest Indesign 2018 (13.0.1). The tags won't show up in the file therefore not allowing the pdfs to pass the accessibility checker. There are no issues when exporting as tagged pdf from the 2017 CC.
I am frustrated with recognition for fields export from 2018 to pdf. I have been avoiding using 2018 for this reason. When you talk to Adobe you have to speak to an indesign specialist or a Adobe Acrobat specialist and neither one knows the other program!!! The Adobe expert tells me how to fix…

Round corners should not be quarter circles connected with lines.
The eye will spot the connection points so these points need extra care.
Adobe should study how Apple shaved off these points on the icons in the iOS. System iOS 6 had the round-corner-fault but in iOS 7 the shape is much better.
I wish Adobe could give us tools to control the round corners, to shave off these connections points. Old Freehand had this feature. Please bring it back to Illustrator and InDesign.5 votes -

Ability to preselect row and column guide color when using 'Create Guides'
When you now create guides using the 'Create Guides' function, all guides are default guide color. You need to manually select the guides again / individually to change the guide color. It would make a lot more sense to have the guide color-dropdown present in the 'Create Guides'-window (one for rows, one for columns). This would play nicely with my other open feature requests considering ruler guides.

Duplicate page, remove guides, select similar objects on whole document
Need to duplicate not only one page at a time, but set the amount of copies,
and get it inserted right after the duplicating page not after the last page.
Need to remove guides and select (edit) similar objects, like container boxes, not only on a spread but on the whole document.
Need to select all boxes on the spread and insert the same image into all in one click.

Highlighting different anchor point of anchored objects to differentiate them from each other
My team uses a lot of anchored objects within tables etc and sometimes it becomes difficult to know which object belongs to which anchor point. Would be great for there to be a way to highlight when you select an object, which anchor point it belongs to. Maybe by changing the colour?

ShortcutKey property to styles
It would be handy to have a shortcutKey property in ParagrapStyle and CharacterStyle objects. I know these properties can be manipulated via idml's Styles file, but it is arduous.

Fix the inconsistency of the text wrap from Indesign to Incopy - we randomly get where the text wrap is lost in InCopy.
Fix the problem with InCopy dropping the text wrap. So irritating - this needs to get fixed!!!

Add tags to grouped items
Adding tag structure to grouped items would help those of us who need to perform 508 compliance on long documents with multiple grouped items without having to go back and find those grouped items and ungroup them.

Dictionary defined layer overrule paragraph style dictionary for multi language documents
Let the Layer defined as French overrule the used paragraph style. So you don't need the create a copy of the style for another language. The layer carries the dictionary, so UK layer = UK dictionary, FR layer = Fr dictionary. Easy and very smart.

OpenType-SVG color shapes are not rendered via Create Outlines
Outlining color fonts does not display the actual colored shapes, and in the case of Trajan & Gilbert, the outlining process is relying on the CFF shapes. As a user, I would expect to see the colored SVG shapes.

New file icons (cc 2018) a step back
Just wanted to bring up something that is hindering my workflow as-of-late - the new file icons for Adobe (using Mac).
I find that the new icons are abrasive visually, but beyond that the function is a bit of a setback. For instance, I used to be able to tell the difference between an .indd file and an .idml file even at the smallest icon size, because there was a distinct difference between the two. Now, however, the difference is so subtle, given that the color/shape of the icons are nearly identical, save a little beveled corner that is indistinguishable…
