Embed IDML data into INDD files for permanent single-file offline backwards compatibility
Just embed IDML data into every INDD, at least optionally. A separate IDML file requires having foreseen the need for backwards compatibility, making sure it is up to date each time the INDD is changed, or resorting to server-side conversion, all of which are a nuisance and unnecessary.
An IDML’s file size is usually anemic when compared to its INDD counterpart, so that is a non-issue.
Even Photoshop asks you whether you want PSD files to be backwards compatible.

PDF comments - Option to remove all resolved comments at once
Option to remove all resolved comments at once. An option to remove all resolved comments in the comment window would be very interesting, because indesign has a performance issue with too much comment.

A keyboard shortcut or an option to make a shortcut for the Auto-fit feature.
I use auto-fit A LOT and it gets quite time-consuming to always have to click on the tick box EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I want to turn it on or off

Open location from 'Recent files' in explorer or bridge
I normally save my exports to somewhere very close to the INDD file. Would love to be able to open a bridge or explorer window to the location of the files listed in 'Recent files' (the home screen when nothing is open).

offer a senior discount please
I am now retired and offer my design services gratis to many charities and organizations.. While you offer discounts on your photography software I do not see any on Indesign. Many of us who used Indesign while working no longer have access.. Please consider helping others by offering a monthly discount.

Embed file option while placing the image in the page
Many-a-times after placing a Image, we need to Embed that as we don't want that to stay connected to the source.
That's why what we want is that before placing a Image, there should be a Link/Embed Option as there is in Illustrator so that I do not have to manually go to Links Panel and Embed it from there for every single Image. It will faster the work process2 votes -
Can we get text to go along with the video tutorials?
Videos can be useful, but we can read text MUCH faster than listening to a video. And we can easily refer to text where we can't in a video.
Please just supply the same learning in text form as well.

Caption setting: Why paragraph style, not object style?
Caption setting: Why paragraph style, not object style?
Its "displacement" is not very easy to use, I generally still need object style to control the caption.
If you can use object styles directly, it's easy? Because object styles can call paragraph styles, there are more settings.
I hope Adobe will pay attention to this problem.

Allow login from multiple adobe accounts on the same machine at the same time.
My job pays for InDesign and I pay for Photoshop/Lightroom. The fact that I cannot just have both logins running at the same time is insane. I have started paying for InDesign personally because it was just easier.

Import PDF comments: Acrobat 'Set Status' options; keep Acrobat file in sync.
Marking comments as resolved/unresolved in InDesign is not comprehensive enough: the full options available in Acrobat need to be available in InDesign. Also, the source PDF file needs to be updated to reflect what has been done in InDesign.
- Rather than just 'Resolve', InDesign needs to show the full 'Set Status' menu from Acrobat.
- Once the full 'Set Status' menu is in place, marking comments as 'Completed', etc., in InDesign needs to be reflected in the source commented PDF file so it is fully in sync.

Serait-il possible de rajoute rune fonction "chrono" timer pour chaque projet ?
Pour comptabiliser le temps actif passé sur chaque fichier. ^_^

Show traditional version names in CC Desktop
In the CC Desktop app, when you are looking at Apps and seeing version numbers, it's confusing to users when you see InDesign v16, which is CC2021, or v15, which is 2020. If the labeling could be InDesign 2021 v16.0, it would be less confusing to users. We have a huge number of users in our company and when we make the switch to each new version as a group, people look at v15 and don't know what that means. For InDesign, in particular, we tend to lag a while while our plugins are updated for the newer versions. So…

Export Package needed this badly
When i package my files, i only get to package fonts that were installed in my com however, if i were to use any adobe font, zero trail in package document font folder. This will cost people time telling the printer or marketing side, hey its adobe font that's why its not in the package file. Or worst whoever take over the project on a new com, have to wait till they open up the file, and indesign or illustrator says hey your font missing. Blah blah blah.
Solution: What if you guys create a file that have adobe font…

Converting Microsoft Publisher docs to InDesign
Marksware used to have a great conversion program (PUB2IND) , but they no longer make it, and my version only works with CS3, which came on my used mac that I purchased. Now I am having trouble with that computer and have to transfer it to another, which is an entirely different problem. Working with old systems/programs is problematic to sat the least. I would very much like to see something built into InDesign that would convert these files.

Global spellcheck that does not review Master pages
Have "Lorem Ipsum" default to "No Language" when used on master pages - or provide a spellcheck bypass of master pages option. We have deliverable templates that we are working from - but the designer used "Lorem Ipsum" for all the text including different paragraph styles. Or is there a way to globally select all text boxes on the 70 master pages - to change to a "no language" setting?

Uniform behaviour of Compound Paths in InDesign and Illustrator
Illustrator gives full control over Compound Paths.
Unfortunately, when copying those in Illustrator and Paste in InDesign,
the Compound paths often don't survive in the correct way.Please let InDesign behave the same way as Illustrator.
