Find/replace objects according to their X/Y coordinates
Dealing with multiple InDesign books comprising thousands of pages, I would need to find all objects located at (or, preferably, within) certain X/Y coordinates, so as to automatically reposition them. You've made halfway to this in CC2018, implementing the size properties in the find/replace dialog box.

I have a suggestion
I would like to see an option to restart footnote numbering. An option to number footnotes according to paragraph style would be good.3 votes -
Please Add "Screen" Intent Option for Creating New Documents
Please add a new Intent option called "Screen" as a choice when creating a new INDD file. The current choices of Print, Web, and Mobile don't cover what I need for creating PPT backgrounds for slide shows, stills and lower thirds for our video team. Page sizes could be at least: 1366 x 768, 720p, 1080p, and possibly 3840 x 2160 for 4K. This would save time from rifling through the other options for the right dimensions, creating a custom size, changing measurements, and changing color profile.

Consider built-in compression of .indd files
Since .indd files could be compressed (e.g. zip) with saving between 50% to 70% of disc space: Please consider to implement a compression algorithm natively into InDesign.
Thanks

Page numbering for spreads
Numbering for Spreads, not just single pages.
A simple option as follows:
Type > Insert Special Character > Markers > New Spread Numbering Options
I.e This would make page 1-2 appear as spread number 1 automatically throughout the document
A life saver and simply amazed this doesn't already exisit!Adobe, please please please implement. It will be a dramatic time saver over doing it manually.
Thank you,

Odt support in Place dialogue
Hi! I'd like to see ODT Support in the Place dialogue. Since it already supports docx, ODT would be a logical extension

Crop Marks
I would like the crop marks to be cross hair style so when you cut one side you still have a mark to tell you where to cut the other. Right now once you cut one side the crop mark is completely cut off so you then have to measure where the next cut should be.

Allow choice of right or left page to keep when eliminating page from facing pages master
When downsizing from a master with facing pages to a single page, I'd like the choice of which page to keep instead of the default left page.

Archive pages, spreads, artboards, etc. within a file without deleting them for good
Wouldn't it be great if we could "archive" pages or spreads in inDesign (or artboards in illustrator, photoshop)? I want to be able to show options to my clients, and then narrow down those options by archiving pages without actually deleting them. Because sometimes, bless their heart, they want something from one of those already deleted ideas.

Paste an object on exactly the same place on the page
When I copy a text frame or an image frame or other object like line and paste it on another page, now it pastes randomly, and it takes time to place it where I wanted. In half cases I need to place that object on exactly the same position where it was on the page where I copied it from.
Some of your competitors have this function and it saves a lot of time. How about to implement it in InDesign and your other software as well?

Open as Copy or Open as Template
Rather than opening an existing file and then "save as" I'd like the option to open an existing file as a COPY or TEMPLATE. This would help in environments with many users from accidentally saving over a file and would allow a user to open a document currently in use by another

Open a .psd file and be able to actually still make edits
I feel the programs should work more seamlessly together. For example, I want to open a .psd in indesign and still make changes to the fonts/text/placements. As of right now, all I can do is place the .psd in indesign, and it acts as an image, not an editable file. Which sucks. Much help appreciated. Thank you.

Ordinal Page numbers
It would be very helpful (especially when designing stationary items as calendars, organisers, et) to be possible to create the auto current page number marker with ordinal numbers like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th...

Apply to Odd or Even Pages Functionality
I would like to see either the "Apply Master to Pages..." or the "Insert Pages..." function offer an "Odd or Even Pages" feature so designers can easily apply a front and back page design to a long document. Or, it could be added to the "Move Pages..." function, but that wouldn't be quite as effective.

High Res Tif's not rendering
High Res Tif's are not rendering when imported into an InDesign document. V15 and v16 rendering engines need to be updated.
When a High Res Tif is inserted and expanded (zoomed in) it does not render in High performance mode but looks like Fast screen mode.
I have verified this with Adobe InDesign Technical Support that this is not a user setting, but an engineering bug. It is not a resolution issue as the file looks fine when exported to a PDF.3 votes -
control blank document options when making new doc
When i go to create a new document, I look at presets but it continually shows me 'legal' etc (american sizes) which I've never used instead of A3, which I use often. I don't understand. WHy can't it either remember or let us organise them?
