Indesign export to AI, PSD
In my opinion and experience, it would greatly help the transition if indesign could export AI and PSD files due to the additional edit

DATA MERGE
Importing an image via .CSV or .TXT file requires the use of an absolute @IMAGE link, it would be very convenient, for file sharing purposes, for this link to recall the files from the folder where the INDESING file resides, using a relative @IMAGE link, using a relative @IMAGE link.
EXAMBLE:

LINK/file.ai (RELATIVE LINK)

InDesign App for Ipad
We want an app version of InDesign for the iPad. It’s time.
Now that Ipad has the same M processor as computers and more and more people/colleagues who work on the move are choosing the Ipad solution. Possibly with the ability to access files directly from an external drive (usb-c is now standard on Ipad too) and not just through the cloud.
When we travel there is not always the possibility of having access to an internet network. Adobe competitors are giving alternative solutions to InDesign for Ipad. With what we pay for the subscription, I believe you have to…4 votes -
Export to gif from InDesign - feature request
PLEASE ALLOW EXPORT TO GIF FOR INDESIGN ANIMATIONS.
I can't work out why this feature exists if we can't export it. I design google ads, web banners, EDMs etc in multiple formats with fast turnaround, in IND. But can't export a gif despite animations teasing me with all the cool things it could do.
The best I can do is duplicate a page, flash something or duplicate 18 steps and export as jpg then stack & animate as frames in Photoshop (or create from scratch in Photoshop and use the comet tool, but that can be annoying to try to…

Open PDF in INDD
It is utterly nonsensical that PDFs can be opened and edited in numerous apps, in particular Affinity Publisher, while InDesign cannot. Even Illustrator can do it (with various limitations).
If Affinity and Markzware and so so many others can manage it - and reliably and accurately manage it - it's farcical that InDesign can't.

Disable features to speed up performance and remove bloat.
I wish there was a feature where we could disable all the bloat that we don't need - I am not interested in CC Libraries, Share for Review and god knows what else. The performance of this bloated app is sub standard and something like this would help.

Zoom possible in presentation mode
When I set the page to be too long, enabling the presentation mode will show the full content, which makes the page too narrow in the screen to see the details, I want to add the zoom function in the presentation mode.

Support ID Books!
As a freelancer corralling multiple ID files, many which share Styles, Parent Pages and other elements, or need to output in a certain order as a combined PDF, I have long used the Book function in ID and MANY OF MY CLIENTS DO AS WELL. This feature of InDesign is still bare bones, undeveloped and buggy. It needs attention from developers! Here are my wishes for Adobe InDesign Books:
1) The Book Panel is still bare bones. Simply give it your attention.
2) I want all the fly-out menu options for a book to be available with a secondary click/contextual…

keyboard shortcuts for custom PDF preset
I can't be the only one who uses the same PDF presets over and over when exporting. It would be really helpful if I could set a keyboard shortcut to those custom presets so I could export them on the fly.

Export to a Word/.doc file
Would like to be able to export a project to Word. Which typically exporting to PDF is fine, there are some clients that require us to send them Word/.doc file. I've been exporting to PDF and from there exporting to Word, but that means much of the formatting is lost.

Enlarge the size of the panels; so hard for the eyes with PAO after 40 years (Illustrator and Photoshop have this option in user/interface)
ADOBE TEAM - SVP aux concepteurs
Cela fait des années qu'à chaque màj d'inDesign j'attends qu'Adobe permette enfin (comme déjà dans Photoshop, et Illustrator) qu'Indesign autorise dans ses préférences l'AGRANDISSEMENT DES CARACTERES ET/OU DE SES PALETTES!!! Il y a des milliers de graphistes de plus de 40 ans qui se tuent les yeux avec ces palettes miniatures lorsqu'ils deviennent presbytes!!!. Quand on est graphiste, on pleure de mal à la fin de la journée. J'ai tout essayé et moi aussi pas la place de mettre un deuxième écran! j'ai essayé avec iPad Pro et Duet, mais l'affichage le plus bas…4 votes -
Home page (InDesign, Photoshop, etc.)
Please add keyboard ability to CLOSE the big honkin home pages. When I close a document and want to be in my Finder looking for the next thing, I have to mouse up and click on the red CLOSE button at upper left of the home screen to remove it from view. Yes, it's not a huge thing, but a Cmd-W there (the universal CLOSE command on the keyboard) would be much appreciated for workflow.

Create contingent or logical elements in Data Merge
Data Merge already allows omitting empty fields, but I will often have additional text or elements that are contingent on those fields. If would be great to be able to attach other elements to the merge fields logically so they are omitted if the merge field does not exist.
Also, any chance of fixing the <feff> problem? Huge thanks to David Blatner for the find/replace solution, but it would be great to have that resolved.

Option to remove empty frames in Data Merge
Empty image frames placed inline in a text field will throw off the alignment if the text field is centered. (This happens when you're going to have a row of, say, icons and different pages will have different numbers of icons)
It would be excellent to have an checkbox in the Options tab of the Data Merge dialog box to "Delete empty frames" upon merging.

Chrome OS support please!
Would be awesome not to have our team on Chromebooks totally locked out from doing simple text editing on InDesign files.

Possibility to change the default language in Middle Eastern version from Hebrew into English
I have the Middle Eastern version of InDesign. I understand the default for all settings is Hebrew/Arabic. I would really like to be able to change the default language into English when I will be working on an English document, and then be able to change the default back to Hebrew when I am working on a Hebrew document. As it is, I feel like I am constantly running into Hebrew formatting while trying to make an exclusively English product. It seems all the settings have to be changed individually, and even seem to automatically jump back into Hebrew format.…

Interactive text field options that do not exist in InDesign, but do in Acrobat.
I make a ton of interactive PDFs in InDesign. Why can I not set things like character limits or centered text within InDesign so I can save the settings in the .indd file? Instead, I am forced to make these changes in Acrobat. This means that any changes to the .indd file require that I remake the PDF format changes in Acrobat. EVERY TIME!

Hidden delete option in "PDF comments"
In the newest update the trash icon disappeared from the "PDF comments" window. Could you please bring it back? Now it's located under three dots, which means I have to click more times to delete the comment. I don't want to use "accept" option because it's better for me to clear the list so I use "delete" instead of "accept". It's important when time matters and I have to make for example 60 changes from PDf comments.
Thank you

Print Booklet needs to support booklets with more than 4-up, e.g., up to 6-up
Print Booklet needs to support booklets with more than 4-up, e.g., up to 6-up.
The team I am part of produces many z-fold documents in excess of 4-up, often 5-up or 6-up. We need the functionality in Print Booklet to support that. The existing maximum 4-up just isn't enough/4 votes
