Open PDF
I want the ability to open an Adobe PDF in Adobe InDesign. The ability to have a pdf file that I can right click and go to Open With -> Adobe InDesign would save so much time at my job in the print industry. It takes forever to take 1,500 pages of a PDF document and individually place them in an InDesign file just so I can use a master page to overlay a bad logo that a client used. If they could just automatically open just as though I did the whole document by hand it would be a…

Custom Signature Sizes
We desperately need to be able to create custom signature sizes for 2-up Perfect Bound booklets. Right now the only options are 4, 8, 12, 16, and 32, which is extremely limiting. Adding blank pages to fill out extra signatures is a garbage work around leading to an unprofessional product.

InDesign - General ''style sheet and Master Page'' document attached to a book
Hi All ! I think a ggod emprouvement can comes in InDesign with this idea :
Right now, I'm often working on catalogs with multiple INDD files.
Right now, I have to create a ''Base File'' where I configure all the styles of each sections/chapter and where I have to configure All the master page for each section of my catalog too.
Well, each of my indesign file contains all the styles and, in fact, all the Master Pages of each section.
Result : I star my layout with a file of 40Mo containing 30 Master pages.
So, you''l say…

Revert back to exact screen placement after Screen Preview (shift+w)
When pressing escape after screen preview, the view resettles on the middle of the page (but keeps the zoom level) rather than resettling where you were working. This makes flipping between normal and screen preview mode a bit less seamless, as you have to keep scrolling back to the part you were working on after previewing.

Implement a setting which will prevent the last column being justified vertically. Currently you have to add a separate text box that is set to align top to prevent this

Open and modify a pdf document directly in Adobe Indesign CC 2020
I don't understand why it isn't possible in Adobe Indesign CC 2020 to open pdf document and modify this document directly in the application.
Affinity Publisher proposes this feature by default and it's works perfectly !
On the screen you can see on the left Adobe PRO DC and on the right Affinity Publisher without any plugin. All can be edited : texte, image, ...
This feature will be added in the future ?
It's really dammage that Affinity Publisher proposes this feature, while Adobe Indesign is older.

show existing guide rows and columns
When you create guides, then want to change how many rows and/or columns you have, the existing number of guides does not appear in the dialogue box, so if I want to change how many rows/columns I have, I have to count them first. Please just have the numbers for the existing guides in there automatically. Please?

Moveable Artboards
Make a feature that allows pages to act like artboards do in Adobe Illustrator.
Be able to move them freely. It’s great that it seems we may overlap now, but I’d like to be able to build my graphics for use on architectural structures made of many panels that could be attached to each order at different angles.
Making InDesign work more like Illustrator this way might save me a lot of time + gives me better typographical tools, like aligning to center top or bottom of a text box (not available in Illustrator, so far)
Thanks!

Apply master page according to merge field value
When using data merge, I'd like to be able to apply master page from merge field.
Ex.:
If my merge field value is "Value A", i'd like to apply Master page A.
If it's "Value B", Master page B.It would be a great way to improve customer customization.

Bookmark highlited
Once I set a bookmark on a page, I would like the bookmark name to be highlighted in the bookmark panel when I'm on the page. Just like how when an image is selected, the name is highlighted in the links panel.

Free rotation of sheets
Hi.
InDesign allows you to rotate the sheet at 90º angles to the right, left and 180º.
It would be nice to be able to also rotate the sheet freely, as for example allows Photoshop.
Sometimes when you design, although you can rotate 90º in 90º, you end up having to twist your neck.
I hope you find the idea useful
.Thank you.

Please add a lock button to Document Setup dialog
Add a lock button to the page sizing in the Document Setup dialog box. That way, I could make dimensional changes to a document size without busting out the calculator. THANKS

Viewing bleeds on two-page spread
Would be nice if any objects that bleed off the binding edge would be cropped to the page edge when viewed as a two-page spread.

Be able to set a keyboard shortcut for everything in menus
Duplicate spread isn't an option for something you can set a keyboard shortcut for (which I would use all the time if it was!) and I notice that a lot of other ones aren't options either

Paragraph style doesn't save for captions
Saving paragraph styles for generating captions. I open many documents a day and would like to save the Paragraph Style. I make my changes and save it. I open another file and have to start over. No preset available. Maybe I'm missing something?
