1. Let Crop Mark offset reflect Bleed size by default

   When exporting a .pdf, I find myself correcting that value over and over.
   In most cases we want the cropmarks not to overlap the bleed, because that would make the bleed useless.

   e.g: I set Bleed to 3mm, but the Crop Mark offset stays 2,117mm

   Please let InDesign copy the Bleed value to the Crop Mark Offset value automatically.

2. Equations and Citations and Bibliography Feautures

   Bring the most desired features such as Equations and Citations and Bibliography fields as in Word. Currently I am writing my dessertation and I have to insert my reference list the hard way and I can't even type my mathematical equations as it should be typed.

   InDesign CC doesn't bring features for that (so that I don't have to rewrite references each time I need) neither to insert mathematical equation as in Word. WORD DOES IT BETTER!

3. Automated Language detection

   Please consider a automatic intelligence, which could automatically detect the languages used in a document.

   In nearly all texts I’m typesetting for journals and specialized books, there are parts of foreign languages inside the text (quotes, citations, ...). It would be genious, if InDesign could automatically search, find, and mark those bits of foreign languages, and change the language mode for those bits, so that the correct hyphenation will be applied.

   In combination with the ability to unlimit the number of character styles, that can be applied to character or text, that would be a very powerful feature.

   Teach Adobe Sensei to find languages!

4. Automatically convert table cells to fillable forms for PDF

   Currently, as far as I know, adding fillable forms to a table requires drawing a text frame above each form. This is time consuming. It should be possible to create text fields from existing cells.

5. Allow Author to mark comment as complete without removing the reference.

   Currently, if I (the author) mark something as "resolved", it removes the comment and prevents the person who created the comment from being able to easily see what they have done and how it was resolved.

   it would be nice for people invited to review to see what past comments they have made (maybe grey out a comment that is marked "Resolved" so that they can go back to that page and see. Then, if it is not done to satisfaction, they could un-resolve it.

8. Align Text exactly to the left or right edge of the frame

   It's a very logn known issue in InDesign: Different font sizes have different spacings to left or right edge of the frame. The more the font size grows, the more the space to left or right edge of the text frame grows.
   From time to time in the past years my clients have noticed that in drafts for correction. This means a lot of additional manual work for large projects in order to align the font correctly.
   It would be great and an enormous relief if in one of the next versions the text frames are either already correctly preset, or if there would be the possibility in the style sheets to set the left or right alignment accordingly.

9. Placed pdfs lose accessibility and all the tags have to be re-created

   When I import or place my pdfs and then export my indesign file all the tags disappear in the exported pdf. This is really annoying as all the tags have to be created again.
   Get my tags back , all the accessibility tags which the pdf had before.

10. Shading and Underline conflict

    Some underline strokes become invisible when Paragraph Shading is applied.
    If removed shading then strokes appear.
    That's a bug, shading always must go bottom.
    Two screenshots are from Indesign, with and without paragraph shading. The last screenshot is from Acrobat, i've deleted manually gray frames to reveal the hidden strokes.

12. Add conditions to Data Merge

    There should be conditions in data merge to include or exclude text based on the data in a record. For example.e consider a set of business cards. Some users might have a Twitter handle or mobile number, some might not. Currently there is no way to omit empty fields and any text that might fo with it, line an "M" and tab to prefix a mobile number and the line break after it. There should be a way to make that text conditional on whether the field is empty or what is in it.

    e.g. IF @mobile<>"",M^t@mobile^p,,)

    If the mobile number is not blank ad M, tab, the mobile number, then a return. If it is blank add nothing.

    e.g. IF @*** ="F",Mrs.,IF @***="M",Mr.,

    If the *** of the record is F insert “Mrs.”. If *** is M insert, "Mr.". If it is neither of those insert nothing.

    This makes cleaning up long merged documents much easier.

13. Have the option to add dynamic or static captions to an anchored image.

    It would be interesting to have the option to add dynamic or static captions to an anchored image.

    On the 1st image, an anchored object, impossible to have the option to add dynamic or static captions.

    On the 2nd one, not an anchored object, it's possible to add dynamic or static captions

14. Datamerge export as PDF/VT or other variable print file format (such as VPS)

    I use the datamerge function alot to create variable print products such as letters with names and address etc. I also use variable graphivs too. The problem is that when I have an 80,000 run the PDF files and ripping times are getting longer and longer. Ideally I want to be able to export as a PDF/VT file format or a VPS. This will mean that instead of sending the graphics 80,000 times to the RIP of the printer it will instead send the graphic once and the data and graphics are assembled as it prints. There are external plugins to create variable print but they are very expensive. It would be great if the data merge function expanded into the variable print sector more and this function would be a massive help!

15. Endnotes--better coordination Word to InDesign

    In the newer versions of ID, they very helpfully allow endnotes to be linked to the numbers in the text (so that, if you delete the number, the note itself is also deleted, and all renumber accordingly). However, when you import/place a Word file of text that has endnotes, the endnotes get placed into a separate text box, and it is obnoxious. I want to put the endnotes in the same text flow as everything else, but you can’t copy and paste because the notes are linked, and the numbers will get deleted from the text if you try to do that.

16. Remove Story panel, make optical alignment a paragraph attribute.

    The Story panel has only one option, optical alignment, and it is badly implemented. It applies to an entire story across multiple text frames, columns, and pages, and has one value for point size regardless of the point size of the various styles used throughout the story.

    Instead, make optical alignment and hanging punctuation two paragraph attributes. Allow the point size to be left black, forcing InDesign to apply the current size for each paragraph.

20. Enhanced Full Vertical Justification feature

    Currently, InDesign's vertical justification is very basic and has several drawbacks that render it useless for professional layout.
    1. Very limited Control. The only parameter you can set is the additional gap that will be added between paragraphs.
    2. Beyond that threshold, InDesign adds gaps between the paragraph lines - a typographical catastrophe, without any possibility for control.
    3. The VJ control is and text frame attribute and not in the paragraph style level' which causes un proportional separation between headlines and text - again, typographically un expectable.
    4. The alignment is done without any consideration to the amount of text in the frame, and needs to be treated (either manually or by script) in text frames that contains a small amount of text, like at the end of a chapter.

    The proposed solution will define some new attributes and features to the full VJ, which will improve the result given in the current situation, and provide a solution to the above mentioned problems.

    My proposed solution is as follows:

    [Paragraph and Paragraph Styles]

    Here are two optional methods:
    [Method A]
    In the Paragraph and Paragraph Styles attributes, create five new fields:
    Title: Full VJ optional Spacing
    A. Space before: Field 1 - Max. expand. Field 2 - Max. shrink.
    B. Space after: Field 3 - Max. expand, Field 4 - max. shrink.
    C. Field 5 - Line spacing. The default value will be 0 (zero).
    All the values in Millimeters\Points.
    When the basic value of the Space Before\After is 0 (zero), fields 2 and 4 will disabled.

    [Method B]
    In the Paragraph and Paragraph Styles attributes, create a Justification like interface to control the parameters settings for the full VJ options, except the parameters will be: Space Before Variation, Space After Variation, and Line Spacing Variation.
    For each parameter, the 3 percentage values will allow setting the Minimum, Desired, and Maximum spacing changes allowed.
    The full VJ will be implemented according to combined calculations of all the above settings (Space Before spacing method and values, Space After spacing method and values, and line spacing value), similar to how the 3 parameters 3 values combination of the Justification feature works.

    To resolve cases when the Space Above or Space Below are set to 0 (zero), in which the respective 3 value fields of the Space Above Variation or Space Below Variation should be dimmed (because you can't set a variation to a 0 value) ,my suggestion is that this section/dialog will include a representation of the Space Before and Space After fields which will allow the user to set spacing value directly from the full VJ settings interface, the same way the Indent value fields allow to set the paragraph indents from the Bullets & Numbering dialog/section.

    In addition, add a Force Justified Vertical Justification options (radio buttons) that will determine the full VJ behavior when the values of all the parameters are not sufficient to achieve a full vertical justification in the current text frame height.
    Option will be: (1) Justify to Top; (2) Partial VJ - the result with the maximum values applied; (3) Forced VJ - a forced spread with spacing violations over the defined values.

    [Text Frame Options]
    Add a Contents Threshold field to the Text Frame Options dialog that will allow the full vertical justification to be performed only if the text frame contents fills more than the designated percentage of the frame height.
    The default value should be set to 85% or 90%.

    Currently, InDesign's vertical justification is very basic and has several drawbacks that render it useless for professional layout.
    1. Very limited Control. The only parameter you can set is the additional gap that will be added between paragraphs.
