Flash Player should not be required to play non-Flash video in PDFs
Currently Interactive PDFs exported from InDesign require Flash to be installed for videos to be viewed. This is true even when the video is an MP4, and when the settings in Acrobat are set so it uses the Windows/Mac native video player.
Non-Flash videos should not require a Flash player. The PDF 2.00 specification allows for media in Interactive PDFs... but with Flash going away in 2020 we need a solution to continue showing media files in PDFs.

Link to a specific page on a PDF or Excel Workbook
I get output in the form of either an Excel Workbook or a PDF with multiple pages.
One task I have is to assemble a book from these unsorted output files.
It would be AWESOME if we could link content from Excel Workbook tabs and specific PDF pages so when I get output, I could just put it all in a folder and InDesign would be smart enough to link everything in the book design from the previous year.
Annual publications for TONS of folks would go faster if we didn't have to paste the data page by page every…

Improve the time it takes to import to PDF in InDesign 2020
It takes up to 10 (ten) times as long to export to PDF in InDesign 2020 compared to InDesign 2019. These are files linked to graphics, not just text files.

Can there be an export option that exports all layers into there own pdf all at once and not have to export each layer one at a time? Example: I have 20 layers in a document and need to export each on as a pdf. I would like to do that with one export option and each layer retain its name in the pdfs.

Interactive PDF Formulas
In Acrobat it is possible to set up simple math formulas such that when a user fills in a box, it auto fills some other boxes. Why can't I just do that in InDesign?

Allow individuals to print or save PDF from Share For Review link
Currently you are unable to accurately print a document shared for review directly from InDesign in the cloud service. There should be a toggle to enable the option to do so from the individual sharing the file. Many people like to physically markup documents in addition to their digital comments.

Convert missing and and no longer existing hyperlink in to embedded image
When editing an existing file made by someone else who no longer has access to the links used in the file, I want to be able to pin the images to the file so that I can save the pdf without image resolution changes.
I tried embedding the images in the file but this option is not clickable for the missing links.1 vote -
Import PDF comments in InCopy
If we're using a workflow that includes stories in InCopy, it'd be great if our editors/writers can manage the edits/markups to their content through InCopy so they can truly own the content (and prevent the back and forth of review/edits with designers and writers after a document has been reviewed).

Need to be able to edit comments in order to fix user error. For example. misspelling or extra text (delete comma) etc.
Need to sort and filter resolved and accepted comments.

background tasks - interactive pdfs
I'm trying to export documents to interactive PDF, the option is only available via File > Export and seems to force the process into the foreground.
Please allow Interactive PDFs to be scheduled for creation via a background task so that I can continue to work in other documents.
I also support the concept of creating these via a toggle on/off option as per:

Convert placed ai to outlines
We get a lot of files with placed .ai art/logos with various color modes/values. It would be great if there was an option (similar to converting text to outlines but for vector art) that would make them editable (as if they'd been copy/pasting from ai, no longer linked) right within indd.
If there is a way/script to do this already, I'd appreciate any info/links for it.
Thanks!

Table Summary Option as per Word and other apps
Could you add a tab in the ‘Table Options’ dialog window when selecting a table. This tab called Table Summary would be a field that allows you to add a brief description on what the table is about. The information would then carry over to a PDF when you export it.
An accessibility check on the PDF without a table summary produces a warning. Whilst tables summaries are not compulsory for accessibility, in order to get 100% compliance (green tick), tables summaries need to be added which Microsoft Word and other programs seem to do whereas Adobe Indesign does not.

Output intent of placed PDF in link panel
You can easily look up ICC-profiles of placed images on the Links-panel.
It would be great to see the embedded profile in pdfs there.You can look it up via Acrobat and it's metadata (OutputConditionIdentifier)
