So many bugs. Fix them. Like Package, or being able to use GPU performance to name a couple.
When will an update be available to fix some or all of the issues with InDesign CC 2017? It is not worth the monthly fee as is.

A preference option to skip all tours
Tour popups about History Panel and Hide Spreads fonction appears about once a day. This seems like a small detail but no, it is annoying. Thank you.

Emoji for Print: Update EmojiOne Color and Support COLR Fonts
I work for a large book publisher and more and more books (especially YA) include a lot of emoji. To the point that having to replace all emoji with art is a tedious process. For workflow efficiency and for accessibility issues, we utilize emoji fonts and convert them to outline, then color correct for print (grayscale or CMYK). That way we can support diverse emoji and preserve the unicode values so that characters are maintained as manuscripts go from Word to InDesign.
Right now, emoji fonts that support shading and skin tone/hair color options come in two flavors--OpenType SVG and…

QR error correction level
It would be nice to have more control over the QR code generator. To be more specific: add the option to choose de Error Correction Level of the code.
That way we can make small codes smaller, (especially in combination with a url-shortner) or normal codes slightly bigger to have enough error correction to have a gap in the middle (for a logo).[X] Automatic
[ ] L : 7%
[ ] M: 15%

Can we get Tab Order in a bigger window please? Or at least one that can expand.
Setting the Tab Order is very tedious but being in that tiny window makes it a real pain at times. Especially when you're creating interactive forms with literally hundreds of boxes.

InDesign to support Multiple User Editing
I am not talking about InCopy or any of its features. At the company I work for, we have to create all of our print documents in PowerPoint because our graphic design team collaborates so heavily with the Sales staff. Because of this, we use PowerPoint's live editing feature to collaborate with filling in content, formatting, and designing. It would be significantly easier and better if there was a multi-user function.

bleed check
Missing bleed" check? Kind of like missing font or missing link, with the "Go To" function so we can easily find missing bleeds through hefty documents?

Use data merge field to export filename
I have created 3 different invitations with a personalized company name on it, coming from excel with data merge. And when I want to export it as .jpg, it is not possible to export : invitationVIP<<company>>.jpg
now I have a list of "numbers" which i have to browse on which company I have to send my vip voucher to, instead of using the explorer search to find the company name that I need.
Conclusion : I need a way to export JPG (and maybe PDF) files using the data merge feature.

Import files from Apple pages
In last time I got more and more Apple-pages-files as text-source. It would be great if you could import them without detours through other file formats.

Preflight options
Most of us have a set of Preflight Options which we embed in the document. There are cases where the preflight error is intended and is not an error at all. LikeI highlight 'Non Proportional Scaling'.There are cases where I want un-proportional scaling of images. It would be nice that we could select these cases and mark them as non-errors. There are other cases like 'Bleed/Trim hazards which' are placed at the edge of a page on purpose.
In this way, once the error is chosen and selected as 'non-error' we will not get them marked as errors.8 votes -
Please, please, please increase the overall stability of InDesign.
I’ve lost count of the number of times functionality has gone missing (ie: unable to proportionally scale using key commands and my mouse, sliding elements vertically or horizontally without changing either their “x” or “y” coordinate (respectively), etc.
I would suggest (and I am absolutely serious about this) that Adobe take 3 months off from issuing any updates to the product and have all your techs, engineers and coders work out as many functionality issues a possible to improve the stability of the product. Don’t get me wrong, it is a fabulous product (and you have no real competition except…

Use Keyboard arrows to go through links list
When I want to check the links in the links menu and I have klicked on one of them, I thought it could be time saving if I could just use the arrows of my keyboard to "scroll up and down" through them. Right now you have to always klick with your mouse on one of them, you can´t use the arrows to go through them.

Variable for dimensions
It would be very useful to have a text variable for dimensions of the page/trimbox/bleedbox or even for objects (along the lines of a caption).

Indesign 2024 not working with window-snapping apps
I recently upgraded to InDesign 2024. I use BetterSnapTool to arrange my app-windows in order to have a efficient and practical workflow. But InDesign 2024 does not work with BetterSnapTool (BST) or any other window-snapping apps due to this reason I received from the BST support:
"Unfortunately all window manager apps on macOS are affected by this, Adobe has broken their window resizing behavior in their recent updates. Their products do not respond correctly to window resizing requests using the macOS Accessibility API anymore. As of now I don't think there is anything I can do to fix this. If…7 votes -
Buttons and Forms Panel
It would be a great option to enlarge the Buttons and Forms panel. It is so small. I make a lot of fillable forms and use this panel often. Please make it larger.

Send PDF comment status from InDesign back to originating PDF
I love and successfully use the Import PDF Comments function in InDesign. I work through them in ID and Accept and Mark Resolved them in the PDF Comments panel. But…
Feature request: please give us the option to send the comment status from the ID PDF Comments panel back to the originating PDF. Our workflow continues to use that original PDF for comparison with the new PDF to cross-check that the alterations were made. We don't necessarily want to turn our editors loose in our InDesign files thereby introducing the chance for unintended and unnoticed changes. Thank you. ~Signed, the…

Split Columns doesn't work correctly yet
If I use the option "Split column" all the paragraphs at the bottom of the page aren't splitted, the option doesn't work correctly (1.png), except when the text boxes are closed manually (2.png), as you can see from the attached files.
I don't understand the utility of not splitting two columns at the bottom of the page when this property is selected in the options.7 votes
