Put the Tab panel in the Text and Table section of the Window menu
The good old Tabs are still standing strong, and they can still do stuff Tables and Character or Paragraph settings can't, like tab leader dots, align on specific characters, fill to right tabs, etc.
But users are always looking for it under the Text and Table section in the Windows menu. I know, it might technically not behave completely like a regular window/panel. But it looks like a window, it moves like a window, so to most people it's a window...

Facing Pages for Spiral Binding
Having the ability to see multiple pages together, without them connected in the center would be helpful for creating things like spiral bound books. This would allow bleeds for each page, while still being able to see the pages together for layouts. This feature would come in handy for more than just spiral bound projects. It would be handy any time you need to see two pages together, while still having bleeds for each page.

Menu size control
I need to create MOOC video captures with Id, Ps and Ai. There is a fabulous option : change UI text size in AI 2019 that should be placed in all CC tools. Especially with a need for more visible menus in video captures. After all, education trains future users. :)

Ability to scroll pages even in the export pdf menu.
In previous versions was possible to scroll in pages tab even when the PDF export dialog window was open, that was great to scroll in content and select all pages I needed to preview printed.
Not sure, if it wasn't just bug before but I am missing it now.

Multi-page PDF use in InDesign
When placing a multi-page PDF into an InDesign document - it would save so much time if it were possible to then scroll through the pages in that PDF and select the desired page from within InDesign.

Duplicate page, remove guides, select similar objects on whole document
Need to duplicate not only one page at a time, but set the amount of copies,
and get it inserted right after the duplicating page not after the last page.
Need to remove guides and select (edit) similar objects, like container boxes, not only on a spread but on the whole document.
Need to select all boxes on the spread and insert the same image into all in one click.

Keep non printing elements visible on screen
A lot of documents I create, are for both printing and onscreen publishing (.pdf). In the .pdf's, I like to add a divider to spreads, to make clear that two pages are show. When setting the 'Non Printing' Attribute for this divider, it dissappears on screen. Maybe ther should be an 'Invisible' check box for that, and a 'Non Printing' option for objects that are visible, but do not print.

More than 10 page spreads.
Allow the user to connect much more than 10 pages together in InDesign. I would like this so I can organize a large document with many pages. I am creating a digital book about plant taxonomy and would like to organize the pages this ways so that I can easily navigate this large document taxonomically while in the program. The pages will be printed individually so the layout in the document is not for the printing process but for organization.

We need "smart" title case in the change case menu
We need smart title case, with prepositions and conjunctions not capitalized. It's ridiculous that a script or third-party plug-in is required. This is a publishing program! InDesign can create a table of contents—it should be able to do it correctly.

Apply parent pages based on text
I would like the ability to force a page to use a Parent Page based on the content of that page.
For example, a long document might have several chapters and the chapter title or chapter number uses a specific paragraph style. That style could include an attribute to apply a specific Parent Page to the page the text appears on, allowing the designer to automatically select the chapter start parent where appropriate. As the text reflows the parent would be removed or reapplied as the text moves from page to page.
Sometimes a paragraph might span a …

Enhancements Needed for InDesign's Font and Shortcut Menus
- Search Functionality in Keyboard Shortcut Settings
In Photoshop, the keyboard shortcut settings include a search function that facilitates quick navigation through extensive menus. Implementing a similar feature in InDesign would streamline workflow efficiency.
- Improved Font Menu Navigation
The current font dropdown menu displays a limited number of typefaces, necessitating extensive scrolling. Expanding the dropdown to utilize the full screen height would allow more fonts to be visible simultaneously, reducing the need for excessive scrolling.
Additionally, when searching for a font, the cursor defaults to the top of the menu, highlighting the last used font. Positioning the cursor directly…

Option to split table rows across pages
Lord please, if you're up there, answer our INDD prayers and make this a feature. A LOT of tables have rows with more content than can be held in a single page or bottom of a page. It's impossible to layout a continuous book or brochure if I can't get the table text to split - it doesn't have to be the default, but give me the option - please, please. WORD does this, be better than Word!!

Add the ability to Name Pages
We build all our digital ads in indesign. 20 pages at 20 unique sizes. When we export to jpegs, we have to go and manually name every single image with the file name.
It would be nice if we could tag the file dimensions to each page and have this information export as a suffix to the original file name.
i.e. 0000-Client Code-'600x600', 0000-Client Code-'1280x760'
The pages would allow us to assign the 600x600 and the 1280x760 to the page for exporting and would carry over from document to document.
Please and thank you for your consideration.
362 votesHi,
The ability to add suffix to JPEG/PNG is now available in InDesign’s latest release 19.0. Please let us know your feedback in comments.

Add custom labels to page thumbnails in the Pages panel
As someone who regularly works with large, multi-page InDesign documents - especially project-based packages - I’d love to see the ability to assign custom labels or names to individual pages in the Pages panel.
Currently, when I need to go back and edit a specific project page in a large qualifications package, it’s difficult and time-consuming to locate the right page. Using only numerical page numbers doesn’t give me the context I need, especially when each page represents a different project.
While section markers and visible labels on the page help somewhat, these don’t make navigation…

Export multiple joboptions with the same name as in the Indesign-menu
When saving joboptions, you are only allowed to save 1 joboption at a time. For someone who wants to hand over his joboptions to another person, this means you have to export every joboption bit by bit. That can last a long time!
Please allow to export ("save") multiple joboptions via the Pdf-Presets-Menu and include that the export saves the names of the joboptions!
((When exporting /saving one joboption, Indesign does not remember the name of it which is very annoying. Please change that!))
