Allow spread view documents published online to be downloaded as single page view pdf's.
An InDesign document in a spread, 2-page view format that is published online turns into the same spread, 2-page view when it's downloaded as a pdf. It would be nice to add a control in the online version to allow the view to select one or two-page formats in the pdf that they downlaod.

Formatting page ranges for cross-references and indexing
It would be good to be able to change the coding in the format of cross-referenced page numbers (and Indexing cross-references) so that instead of the two cross-referenced pages displaying [236]-[238], they could display [236]-[8] or [236]-[38]. Formatting page ranges now ALL has to be done manually, because publishers don't typically use the full number in the second of a range.

Let me export page ranges to separate PDFs
I typed in page ranges to export (i.e. 1-2, 3-4, 5-6) and was just stuck with each page in a separate PDF. Was surprised that exporting page ranges to separate PDFs was not already functional using this method.

Enable an index entry that's "Current Page" plus or minus "n" page.
I'm currently in a situation where I have multiple tables in a book, and each table bridges across its spread. The index entry I want to make is on the right-hand (recto) page but, because the upper-left corner of the text frame containing the table is on the preceding left-hand page, the index entry takes the number of that preceding page, not the correct right-hand page.
In practice, this means I have to go back and manually change the index entry page number to one page higher - for every single entry.
Implementing this would just require…

Object Styles (Size and Position)
When creating an Object Style and using Size and Position, the X and Y Offsets must be 0 or greater. This means you cannot create an Object Style that allows for bleed. I want to enter -.125 for the X and / or Y Offset to allow for bleeds.
P.S. The temp workaround is changing the Reference point, but if you change the Height or Width, you also have to adjust the X and Y.

Side by Side Page View
When using Adobe InDesign, it would be helpful for certain documents to be able to see two pages side by side. As of now, a simple two-page document has page two appearing below page one.

Page picker when placing PDF
Please add a page picker (overview of all pages) when placing a PDF, INDD or AI file like when you drag a PDF into Photoshop. It would speed up the process of placing different pages enormously

With a specific paragraph style character style page, automatically apply a specific home page?
With a specific paragraph style character style page, automatically apply a specific home page?
For example, in the start page, we only need to display "Chapter 1" and "Chapter 2". We chose to apply the "None" home page. Now it's manual. It's a lot of trouble.
These pages are not the same as the home pages of the front and back page applications.
I think it's more convenient to apply a specific home page to pages with certain paragraph style or character style.
Maybe you can use the chapter to judge the application…

Align Content on page - not just objects or selection
It would be great to have a button panel to align to page, not just align objects or align to selection. For example when I want text or an image dead center on the page it would be great to just be be able hit a keyboard shortcut or click a button and have it align to center of page, horizontally, vertically or both. I know there's tons of ways to work around it, but it would be so nice!

Ability to toggle between guide type between spread and page
When a guide is selected I would like to see a button next to the current options to toggle the type of a guide between spread or page guide. To do this now, this requires dragging the guide outside or inside the page, which comes with a certain amount of 'uncertainty' (is it still in the same place? did smart guides try to align it with something else? ...)

Custom Columns
When setting up margins and layout it would be great if the user could customize the width of individual columns. For instance I start a new document that's 8.5 x 11 with 2 columns and a gutter that's .25. At some point, either the initial document creation or after, it would be amazing to change the width of one of the columns and in so doing it adjust the width of the other column while keeping the gutter the same. This would help for much more dynamic, asymmetrical and feel visually more organized than simply bringing in rulers. Horizontal rows…

InDesign Books Improvements
The Book Panel is still bare bones.
I want all the fly-out menu options for a book to be available with a secondary click/contextual menu.
I want label colors in the Book panel to mark the status of various documents/chapters.

Master Page View - Toggle On/Off
When on any document page (not a master page), add the ability to toggle the view of master page items on and off. Would be very helpful to view master page elements vs non-master page elements.

Swap graphics/images…
I know it exists as a script BUT i've been waiting a loooong time to get a very basic SWAP function between 2 inDesign frames'content.
Say I have 2 frames on a page, one contains image A, the other contains image B.
I select the 2 frames, in object menu, I have one option (usually grayed out if 0, 1, 3 or more objects are selected) (+ same in contextual right-click menu).
That option says "swap images" (in french "permuter les images").
Everything in one frame goes to the other.
That implies groups of items.
That implies…

New Cross Reference > Showing Page number near the Paragraph Text proposal
Hi Guys !
Something that could be great in indesign is having the possibility of showing the page number corresponding to the Paragraph Text proposal, when we creat a new Cross reference.
For exemple, here I work with a big catalog of 500 pages, and 500 titles.
I need to creat a cross reference between intermediate TOC and the title,
But when I have MAny times the same title, it becames to be hard to test eache title to get the good page number
for exemple my search right now is :
TITLE OF PRODUCT
TITLE OF PRODUCT (1)…5 votes -
Keyboard Shortcut / Menu Command to Edit Text of Selected Frame
There is currently no way to edit text in an already-selected frame other than using the mouse to enter the frame. As everyone knows, mousing is less efficient than using keyboard shortcuts.
Please add a menu command and a keyboard shortcut to edit text of the selected frame.
The most logical thing to do would probably be to use ESC. ESC is already the keyboard shortcut to switch from text selection to editing. It should just be the toggle.
(This might prompt the question: where should the cursor be placed? I would say just place it at the beginning of…

Include Page Slug
I often have multiple sizes of graphics inside of one ID document and it would helpful to show the slug when sending a Share for Review link. I currently use the slug to identify and label each page (and size) and it would be nice to have that included for the reviewer to also identify each page/size.
If the slug isn't the best way to accomplish this, it would be great to have a label on the review for the name of each page and size

Screen bug when using an external monitor with a laptop (Mac thing?)
When I have a file open, and the laptop sleeps or I close the lid, when I come back, the file is half way down the attached/big screen, instead of where I left it (full screen), it's only a little thing, but it's so annoying!! Please leave the files where I put them on the screen!

Apply master page according to merge field value
When using data merge, I'd like to be able to apply master page from merge field.
Ex.:
If my merge field value is "Value A", i'd like to apply Master page A.
If it's "Value B", Master page B.It would be a great way to improve customer customization.
