  1. Why a new .indd file format with each update?

    There was a time ID didn't require a new file format with each yearly update. Although I realize some features may genuinely require a new .indd format, I'm not sure the changes to latest CC22 require one. This is the 4th or 5th consecutive change, which means I have to update all files I regularly use through the years (standards manuals and the like). I can still seamlessly open Photoshop and Illustrator files from 5-10 years ago without worrying about re-saving them.

  2. Font size menu bars

    I would like to be able to increase the font size for menu bars, tools and mouse-over hints. It would be a great improvement in terms of accessibility.

  3. Search entire volume for missing picture / links

    Search entire volume for missing picture / links connection as its enormously laborious to search each with windows explorer, then copy to dedicated folder then point Indesign to this dedicated folder.
    Why isn't it possible to point Indesign to a entire volume, let Indesign search for all missing links and by "packing" all files are copied to the "links"-folder. Would be mega-comfortable !!!

  4. Fit Tables to Frame

    Sometimes you just know how exactly a table should look, so a table that would just fill the frame you just created would just make sense. A way to resize the table without distorting its content or anything else would be a nice improvement to.

  5. Hide Extra's / Selection Edges / Anchor points etc.

    When manipulating colors of a selected Object, the color of the Handles etc. distracts from judging the color changes.
    Please add a shortcut to hide all but the artwork itself (like in Ai and Ae)

  8. Center and zoom in

    I often find it hard to spot the pins on the canvas when reviewing comments for a busy layout. A center in and zoom level or a better highlighted pin would be awesome!

  9. Access setting defaults

    Share for review is a game changer! Thank you! But every time the compiling and uploading is done I need to change the access type from access setting it has to re-compile and upload. This is such a shame.

  10. Multilanguage Bullets in English Version for languages that do not have a native In Design Application

    Please make an option for the bullets that are alphabetic to be able to change them in another language. I.E. a,b,c,d, to be able to change into let's say Greek α,β,γ,δ.

  12. Improved spot colour assignment

    You've introduced 'useful' cloud sharing features and project integration over the last few versions but would it be possible to make assigning spot colours or custom colours easier across InDesign, illustrator and Photoshop? I waste so much time switching back and forth across apps, trying to set up the correct colour information ready for print. It's still so convoluted and always feels like I'm fudging my artwork. I end up resorting to changing all spot elements to 100% Black and creating a separate page. That's not intuitive or helpful, that's just winging it.

  13. Allow analytics to track the number of times a viewer downloaded the document.

    PublishOnline has been great and very informative. It would help me even more to know how many times a viewer has been interested enough in a document to download a copy. (Even better if I knew how many times they chose to print the document.)

  15. Allow option for Stock ID in links panel

  16. Faster Form Field Workflow - Batch Editing, Fields List Panel, Faster Renaming

    Need the ability to select multiple form fields to edit their input appearance in batch. Bare minimum we need a list of fields in a panel, similar to Acrobat.

    Couldn't get Acrobat to recognize table fields in a form I made with InDesign, so I converted the cells to graphic cells and made them text form fields. But then I could only select one at a time to edit their names, choose font, etc.

    Working on forms with a lot of fields takes a lot of clicks as it stands now. A panel with all fields would allow faster renaming…

  17. Option to select all text over multiple components in InCopy

    It is impossible to select all text in an article that exists over multiple components.
    Now you can only copy text from one component at the time.
    Would be helpful, for example, if you need to quickly copy the article to be pasted in an email so it can be send to somebody to review.

  19. In World-ready Composer mode, Using kinsoku settings as in CJK composer

    In Korea (or Japan or China), We use CJK composer with kinsoku.
    But sometimes we have to use World-ready Composer when we insert a right-to-left word (such as Hebrew word) in paragraph.
    Then we have no choice but to abandon kinsoku.

    So I and many Korean designers want to use kinsoku in World-ready Composer (or in CJK composer, to use right-to-left script function in Hebrew, Aribic, etc., as in World-ready Composer).

  20. Make "split column" widths flexible

    I use split-and-span columns frequently in my work. Often, with lists of names, I'll have that one name in a column that is just too long and wants to wrap. If I could adjust the column width after using the split-columns, that would be very helpful. As it is, I either have to decrease the type size or increase the right side margin, which messes with the body text width. I don't want to create a separate text frame as this is too common an occurrence in my work, and I'd have to be dragging and anchoring all over the…
