Add leading zeroes to single page image exports
When exporting pages to images (something we do quite a lot in comics), it helps with further batch processing to have a sufficient number of leading zeroes as part of the exported filename.
So instead of:
Page 1
Page 2
Page 99
Page 103Page 001
Page 002
Page 099
Page 103This can be a selectable feature in the user preferences or automatically generated to pad the number of leading zeroes to match the number of pages in the exported file (e.g. if there are only 93 pages in the book, only add leading zeroes to 1-9 so all…

Color Pallet: add a Shade slider (percent of black mixed) for selected swatch (just like tint slider but with black)
In the color Pallet please add a Shade slider which adds a percentage of black to the selected swatch. It would act just like tint slider, which adds a percentage of white to the color swatch, except the Shade slide controller would add black.
This would also need a new type of Shade swatch perhaps.

Interactive PDF Previews
I would LOVE the ability to preview my interactive PDF without having to export it every time I make an edit to a fillable text box or radio button. Can we preview the interactive features in InDesign, and not just in Acrobat?

Export JPG with specific name and as a background task
Now that many users are using INDD to prepare web graphics INDD needs a feature to be able to name the page so when the pages are exported as JPGs or PNGs they are named properly.
I found a script to do this but it would be great to build this into the application. All that would be needed is a variable where we could add the name and INDD would look at that text frame to name the exported files.
This is important to do it this way so this can be a feature of data merge as well.…

I like the Properties Window very much. I would like it back as default window in the right bar of the window.

Command Line
I think this feature would make all Adobe products so much faster, easier to use, and more efficient. Something where you could turn it off and on and type your command, or a custom alias, and immediately activate the tool or menu item you want. It could just be something you toggle in the Window menu and that could appear at the top of the screen under the upper toolbar.

Set Grid in double page documents new for every page
In double page documents, the grid overlaps the gutter, which sometimes makes it hard to use the grid on the right side, when the right side starts with half a grid box or 3/4 or whatever.
IT would be nice if you could choose between overlapping and starting the grid from zero at the page on the right side.
It would also be VERY helpful if you could turn the visibility of the grid off outside of the pages because all the lines make the view so "noisy".
AND it would be helpfull to be able to adjust the transparency…1 vote -
generar planillo desde la ventana páginas
Sería interesante para el ámbito editorial poder imprimir un planillo a partir del diseño que tenemos en nuestra ventana de páginas, o generar uno interactivo como lo que ha diseñado René Andritsch:

epub
For the love of god, please improve EPUB export to ensure that the exported file actually lives up to market standards and can validate EpubCheck and ACE without problems or extra reworking. As is, the current exported EPUB files risk failing checks before distribution and, as a result, cannot be sold on the European market after the accessibility directive takes effect. This will be a huge problem for many graphic designers who cater to this market.

Dictionaries and Japanese, Chinese, Cyrillic scripts Hide
I would welcome the ability to hide all unused dictionaries in Indesign. Also, it would be nice to be able to hide Japanese, Chinese and Cyrillic in the font menu. It's just insane scrolling sometimes and not UX like at all.

Set the baseline of the first line of an object to the actual height of the first line of text
There is no standard in fonts what to use for the value of ascend. Some use the height of, say, the 'k' character. Others enter the highest glyph (including those with diacritics). Basically, that means that using ascend for the first baseline is unreliable if fonts change. The best solution would be to calculate the actual 'max glyph height' of what is actually on the first line so that the text fits exactly to the top of the frame. Using 'cap height' is not a prefect solution too as some fonts have a cap height that is smaller than e.g.…

Warn before converting document
When opening an indesign document created in older version, on a newer indesign version, the newer version MUST post a warning dialogue box before converting the document.
BECAUSE if a designer works for two different client, where a client wants indesign version X, why the other client wants indesign version Y, then the designser should not by mistake convert the older version into a newer version, and not discovering this mistake only after its too late.

Scale stroke proportionaly in object-based rule il liquid layout
The stroke doesn't scale when changing page size either manually or with the page tool in object-based rule in the liquid layout. It does work in scale rule. It would be great if there was an option to choose between scaling the stroke or not.

Toggle off onscreen visibility of Endnotes markers
Endnotes imported from Word are marked in InDesign by blue L-shaped brackets at the beginning and end of each note. Why can't the onscreen visibility of these characters be toggled off with Type > Hide Hidden Characters.
The blue brackets are enormously annoying when making onscreen assessments of full-page typography issues.
(Yes, I realize that the brackets cannot be removed and do not print, but I would like to have option of making them invisible onscreen.)1 vote -

Path to images in linked InDesign documents not adjusted when packaged
I have packaged an InDesign document with linked InDesign documents for the printer. The images inside the packaged InDesign files have the wrong path, it has not been adjusted to the packaged images.
Our printer has printed the product therefor without the linked images which is a desaster. Please fix linked image paths within linked InDesign documents.
